Chapter 907: British, French, and Spanish Triple Alliance
The Ming army ignored the fleeing Duke William and other British troops, and continued to attack the territory of the thirteen states on a large scale.
Duke William withdrew from New York City with the British army, abandoned the city and fled, and also fled all the way to the southern part of the thirteen states of North America and the border with the Spanish-Mexican colonies, and at the same time sent envoys to contact the French and Spaniards to form an alliance with him to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
"The Ming army is too strong, unexpectedly powerful, we can no longer let the British fight the Ming army alone, otherwise the British are finished, and it will be our turn immediately!" Long before the Ming army launched an attack on the thirteen states of North America, the French and Spaniards had already learned of the news of the Ming army.
Originally, the French and Spaniards were just sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, wanting to see the combat effectiveness of the Ming army first.
However, when the British were defeated all the way and could not resist the attack of the Ming army at all, the powerful combat effectiveness of the Ming army was finally displayed in front of the French and Spaniards, bringing only boundless fear to the French and Spaniards.
If before this, the Ming Dynasty had left a strong shadow in European countries, including the French and Spaniards, because of the Battle of Malacca, then this time the Ming army attacked the thirteen states of Britain and North America, and it seemed that the British ** team, which was stronger than them, could not resist the attack of the Ming army at all, and it was a thousand miles away, bringing them only fear.
At this moment, they would not even have to come to the British to ask for a coalition army, they would be ready to resist the Ming army with the British.
Therefore, after receiving the request of Duke William, the governor of the thirteen states of North America, the Duke of Tribwes, the governor of Spain and Mexico, immediately led the 34,000 Mexican army gathered in Mexico City to the north to meet the British army of Duke William.
On the Canadian side, the Marquis of Orlan, the French governor of Canada, also led 30,000 French colonial troops south, preparing to flank the British army and the Spanish army to resist the attack of the Ming army.
On 20 May, the 34,000 Spanish troops led by the Duke of Tribwes of Spain crossed the border between Mexico and the thirteen North American states, and the British army of the British Duke William of England met in the southern part of the thirteen North American states.
In terms of the French army, at this moment, the 30,000 French troops of the Marquis of Orrand have also entered the territory of the thirteen states of North America from Canada.
It's just that at this moment, more than seventy percent of the territory of the thirteen states in North America has been occupied by the Ming army, and it is almost an impossible task for the French army to break through the Ming army's occupied area and move south to make peace with the British army and the Spanish army. However, the French army did not necessarily have to make peace with the British and Spanish armies, and the French army could continue to move south to flank the Ming army while the coalition army and the Ming army were engaged.
Therefore, the Marquis of Orrand could only order the French army to stop continuing southward, and at the same time send someone to inform the Duke of William of England and the Duke of Tribwes of Spain of the location of the French army and the intention of the French army by sea.
Under the attack of the Ming army, the British colonial army and the immigrant resistance forces in the thirteen states of Britain and North America were also constantly avoiding the attack of the Ming army, and went south to make peace with the Duke of William.
When the Ming army almost captured more than eighty percent of the territory of the thirteen states in North America, the Duke of William in the south also continued to gather the colonial soldiers and immigrant resistance forces in the south, and the number of British colonial troops and immigrant resistance forces under the command of Duke William soon exceeded 50,000.
With the addition of the number of Spanish troops, the Anglo-Spanish army had reached the number of 85,000 men.
If we add the 30,000 French troops in the north at any time, the number of the British, Spanish and French forces reached the scale of 115,000 men, nearly twice as many as the 60,000 Ming troops attacking the thirteen states of North America.

New York City, the Ming army station.
"Hehe, the Three Kingdoms have completed the alliance?" After listening to the spies' report, Yan Yingyuan smiled indifferently.
In fact, the formation of an alliance between Britain, Spain and France has not been hidden from Yan Yingyuan, and has always been seen by Yan Yingyuan.
It is even said that for more than a month, Yan Yingyuan has not ordered the Ming army to attack the southern part of the thirteen states in North America, not necessarily deliberately leaving time for Britain, Spain and France to complete the alliance.
"With the strength of my army, I am not afraid of any three-nation alliance at all, or in other words, the alliance of the three ** teams is just enough for my army to wipe them out!" Yan Yingyuan said with a disdainful smile, it was his ultimate goal to wipe out the colonial armies of the Three Kingdoms.
"Now that you have completed the alliance, then next, it is time for my Ming army to take the initiative to counterattack!" Yan Yingyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp light flashed.
Although the three countries of Britain, Spain and France have been allied, it is inevitable to resist the Ming Dynasty together, but Yan Yingyuan does not plan to wait for the Three Kingdoms Alliance to take the initiative to attack, but intends to let the Ming army take the initiative to counterattack the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
The French army was held back along the border between Canada and the thirteen states, unable to move south. In the southern part of the Thirteen States, only the British Army and the United Spanish Army were there.
Yan Yingyuan was ready to personally lead a large army to attack the southern part of the Thirteen Prefectures, and defeat the Anglo-Spanish alliance there by the way.
In addition, Yan Yingyuan also planned to take the initiative to send another army north to attack the French army.
"Feng Houdun, this commander ordered you to lead 10,000 soldiers to the north and annihilate the 30,000 French troops on the border of thirteen states and Canada!" Yan Yingyuan ordered to Feng Houdun, the commander of the 50th Army.
Feng Houdun, Chen Mingyu, and Yan Yingyuan are sworn brothers, and they were recruited by Zhu Ci together to jointly command the Fourth Army.
Chen Mingyu broke away from the Fourth Army very early and entered the Jinyi Guard, and now he has taken over the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, becoming the number one eagle dog under Zhu Ci and the head of the secret spy.
Feng Houdun has been following the Fourth Army, successively serving as the commander of the Fourth Army for many years, and has made a lot of achievements. Once, when Zhu Ci was expanding the size of the regular army, according to Feng Houdun's merits, he was transferred out of the Fourth Army and was the commander of any army alone, commanding the first army.
The Fourth Army is the earliest overseas dispatch army of the Ming Dynasty, with rich experience in overseas operations, Feng Houdun has been a division commander of the Fourth Army for many years, and naturally has a lot of experience in overseas operations, so this time to attack the Americas 6, Zhu Ci appointed Yan Yingyuan as the commander at the same time, and also let Feng Houdun take his 50th Army as one of the dispatch troops to join in, along with several other armies, under the command of Yan Yingyuan.
"Yes, Marshal!" Feng Houdun smiled and gave a standard military salute, and then walked out.
Now that he is the commander of an army, his influence is relatively large, although he still recognizes Yan Yingyuan as his eldest brother, but on the surface, especially during the war, Feng Houdun has restrained a lot, and he did not call Yan Yingyuan his eldest brother, but changed his name to marshal.
After receiving the order, Feng Houdun quickly abandoned the 10,000-strong army and went north to attack the French army.
Yan Yingyuan, on the other hand, also led an army of 30,000 to the south to attack the Anglo-Spanish coalition army in the south of the Thirteen Prefectures, and by the way, completely captured the Thirteen Prefectures.
Although the Ming army had 60,000 troops to attack the thirteen states, the captured places needed to be defended by large troops, so the large army that could be used was actually only the next 40,000, but even if there were only 40,000 troops, the Ming army did not think that the British, Spanish and French alliance would be their opponent.
On 24 May, Yan Yingyuan's Ming army advanced to the southern part of the 13 states where the Anglo-Spanish coalition army was located, and Feng Houdun's 1st Ming army also advanced to the northern part of the 13 states where the 30,000 French troops were located and the border with Canada.
The biggest decisive battle between the Ming army and the British, Spanish and French alliance in the North American Big 6 is about to begin, and this decisive battle will undoubtedly determine the future fate of the North American Big 6.
