The moist sea breeze blows on the green meadows, which are lined with plane trees that surround the castle.

This is the northern part of the Republic of Venice at this time, in this corner of Europa, where there is no industrial pollution, and beauty can be suffocating.

Zhu Youxiao enjoyed the silence and humidity here, he couldn't help but squint his eyes when he lay under the hood of the car fluttering in the wind, but a horse roar woke him up again, and when he looked up, he saw a mighty Western white army appearing in front of him.

This Western army was the army of the Republic of Venice, which consisted of heavy cavalry and light infantry, as well as dozens of cannons.

However, it can be seen from the weapons they hold that the army of the Republic of Venice is not much better than that of Vanechia, and the so-called infantry basically possess spears, slings, and short javelins, and not even firearms.

He even wore bulky plate armor, and his head, shoulders, and waist were tightly protected, a typical classical combat style.

And Zhu Youxiao looked back at his Ming army, hundreds of thousands of army infantry neatly lined up on the big grass of Nuoda, not able to see the edge at a glance, and formed a phalanx with a battalion system, each phalanx is the basic unit, a basic unit contains artillery, incendiary bombs, mortars, as well as assigned aircraft and pilots, as well as equipped with poison gas bombs loaded with electrostatic materials.

Each army infantry holds the latest rifle in his hand, the integrated steel gun from the barrel to the butt is the crystallization of the Ming Dynasty's developed mechanical manufacturing process, and the triangular bayonet directly cuts the fallen leaves in half in the wind, and shines in the afternoon sun.

Each infantryman wore a green tweed uniform, wore a steel helmet, stood upright, and had a spare bayonet hanging from a cowhide-tanned belt, as well as three grenades and other marching equipment.

The cavalry on both flanks also wore steel helmets, green tweed military uniforms, and held a curved scimitar, as well as two short-handled rifled guns at both waists, and three grenades with gunpowder or poison gas on their backs.

The horses are all short breeds of good horses from Mobei, with strong endurance and fast running speed, and due to the strong national strength of the Ming Dynasty, the supply of protein is sufficient, and they are fat and strong.

The Venetian army was indeed shocked and a little apprehensive when they saw the Ming formation, but in order to defend their homeland, they still rushed over.

At this time, the Ming artillery unit had already begun to debug the artillery, and hundreds of rifled guns kept making the sound of metal bearings rotating in the hands of the artillerymen, followed by the neat opening of the gun doors, and the shells were loaded one after another.

After the order, hundreds of shells filled with nitrification explosives pierced the blue sky like locusts and exploded directly in the middle of the Venetian army, covering almost all directions!

In an instant, the Venetian army infantry was overturned on their backs by the bombers, and the grass and fresh mud splattered several meters into the air, along with countless fragments of human organs.

But there was no such round of artillery, and before the Venetian infantry could catch their breath, a second round of artillery bombardment came as scheduled.

By the end of the third round, there was nothing left of the Venetian army, and the hillside that should have been flat and slightly raised had turned into a huge crater, with men and horses who had broken their legs wailing, and people who had been frightened were desperately climbing back.

In the eyes of the Venetian Army, this Eastern Army was too terrifying!

Before they could see a single Eastern soldier clearly, they were wiped out in an instant!

The snow-white castle like a woman's skin appeared in front of the Ming Army without concealment, and the first phalanx of the army walking in front of it walked towards the castle with neat steps.

The castle was an important town in Verona, an important town in the northern part of the Republic of Venice, and an important gateway for the Ming army to enter the Republic of Venice by land and attack the Papal States and the Kingdom of Sicilya.

Because of this, the Republic of Venice mobilized almost all of its own army's army to assemble here to fight the Ming army.

The stupid Westerners did not know how to defeat the strong with the weak, let alone what guerrilla tactics to use to prepare for a protracted war in exchange for space, and their military thinking was only to concentrate all their forces to resist the Ming army in Verona.

However, the fact is that all his forces were completely annihilated by the Ming army in just half an hour.

And his city of Verona became an empty city without any defensive power in an instant.

Bang!

When the first phalanx of the Ming army was advancing, there was a sudden sound of firearms, and a soldier's cooking utensils were hit by this shot, but it also aroused the vigilance of the Ming army, realizing that there were armed forces in the city.

As a result, the officers and soldiers of the first phalanx tacitly changed their formation, the steam chariot appeared in the front, the chariot artillery began to rise slightly, and with a boom, while the strong inertia made the chariot move back sharply, the attic of the castle of Verona that had just appeared with the smoke of firearms turned into a rubble field in an instant.

The chariot continued to move forward, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Army bent slightly and quickly followed.

By this time, however, the whole world had returned to peace, and the chariot had already driven under the walls of the castle of Verona, and with a sudden bombardment, the walls collapsed, and several white men who had not had time to escape looked at the chariot about the size of their house and remained motionless.

At this time, the army officers and soldiers had already opened fire directly, and the bullets splattered blood directly on these white people, and they fell to the ground in a daze.

Boom!

The soldier tasked with eliminating any possible insecurity threw a grenade at a church of Gothic architecture, whose windows were blown off and a naked white man flew out.

Immediately after that, another cannon rang out!

A red-walled European-style stone building collapsed, and the white man's wail was heard inside, in order to prevent someone from rushing out to attack their side, the Ming army did not hesitate to start shooting, and some of the whites who survived to run out fell in batches.

It is still a state of war, and before the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao has ordered the cessation of the war and the surrender of the Verona authorities, the swords of the Ming army will have to keep killing!

Considering that in this era, population is one of the most important resources for warfare, after taking absolute control of the city of Verona, Zhu Youxiao did not order to continue the killing, but immediately compiled the whites in these cities, and the city was temporarily in charge of the military government.

However, according to the requirements of the Ming Emperor, the buildings and writing art representing the entire Western culture were all demolished and destroyed, and Zhu Youxiao was a politician not a collector, and he wanted to make the alien culture of the entire Europa region completely disappear from this world, like the Mayan civilization, which could only leave a trace in the long river of history.
