At the same time as the Ming army captured Verona, the Ming navy also marched towards the city of Venice one after another.

More than 400,000 navies and tens of thousands of warships have almost crowded the entire Mediterranean, and Venice, a water city, is fiercely surrounded by the fleets of the Ming Dynasty like wolves.

The news of the loss of Verona also reached the city of Venice at this time, and even the Papal States and the Kingdom of Sicilia realized the coming crisis at this time, and sent a navy to aid Venice, in an attempt to contain the Ming navy by relying on the naval battle of Venice.

And so that they can take out to deal with the Ming Army.

However, even if other kingdoms in Italy began to aid Venice, the defense force of the entire Venetian castle could not compete with the Ming navy.

At this time, the city of Venice was already in chaos, and the ironclad giant ships of the Ming Dynasty were like huge monsters in the sea, which frightened the residents of Venice, and people kept releasing small boats from the water gate in front of their houses, loaded with people and goods.

But Venice is a city of water, with complex waterways, and in a panic, countless ships crowded outside the city, and even some ships could not move.

Logistics and ammunition could not be transported, and even the teleportation with orders was cut off, and in short, the entire city of Venice was paralyzed.

But in fact, the Ming Navy has not yet fired a single shot.

Dusk is gradually approaching, the entire Venice city is more congested and chaotic than before, and the Ming Navy has basically completed the array configuration, and the main forces of the Ocean Fleet and the North Sea Fleet are attacking the navy around Venice City in a wedge-shaped offensive.

The South China Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet directly lined up in a long snake formation, facing the city of Venice with their side sides, and the muzzles of the guns were all opened, and thousands of shells exploded in the city like fireworks.

Countless ships were blown to pieces, and in addition to the towering lighthouse that still stands on the coast, every building in the entire city of Venice was shelled.

The collapsed masonry was accompanied by the screams of the Venetians and disappeared in the Venetian river, and the large and small ships that tried to escape were even more chaotic at this time, directly colliding with each other, and some simply started to kill those who blocked the way.

In the face of survival, all the Venetians have become crazy, and none of them who advocate self-redemption have come forward at this time to call for everyone to form a collective to deal with the current situation.

Everyone is scrambling to flee, and no one wants to give up the opportunity to others, and the weak old, weak, children, and women can only hide back in the castle.

The navy of Venice and the navies of other countries who came to the rescue could not stop the attack of the Ming navy, and the clumsy soft sailing ship broke into pieces of wood in an instant like an egg hitting a stone under the impact of a steam ironclad ship.

Some of the soft sailing boats even took advantage of the chaos to escape from here.

The Ming fleet continued to approach step by step, and all the Venetian civilian ships in front of them were directly rammed away by the ironclads, and the bridges blocking the way were also bombarded into rubble by a single shot.

By the time the sun rose the next morning, the city of Venice was in ruins, and all but the lighthouse was still standing, and all the buildings filled the river.

The navies of the other kingdoms of Italy and Asia had withdrawn from the battlefield, and the navies of the Republic of Venice had been defeated and fled.

At this time, the Ming Marines began to land, and the city of Venice had long lost its former vitality, because the collapse of a large number of buildings caused a dammed lake in the city, and countless corpses floated on the dammed lake, and there were many people who survived the shelling.

One by one, the Marines scooped up the men, handcuffed them to chains, and gathered them together in a naval field hospital to be transported back to the ship for some kind of surgery.

A white man with almost no hanging a single thing trembled and marched under the guns of the Ming Marines, they may never have imagined that there would be a moment when an Eastern Empire would give them such a heavy blow, just as the original history of China could not imagine that the Western barbarians would give themselves such a serious blow.

The Republic of Venice, which was powerful throughout the Mediterranean, was officially declared dead.

The Ming army marched towards the city of Trento in the Papal States, while the navy divided into four routes, attacking the coastal cities of Ravenna, Hermini, Pesaro, and Ancona.

At this time, the entire Papal State was already panicked, and its Pope Alexander VII was already restless, he really didn't expect this empire from the East to be so terrifying, he was busy sending distress letters to Franco, France and other countries, hoping that with his lofty religious identity in the Papal State, he could gather more troops to resist the menacing Ming army.

However, countries such as Francois and France did not respond to the Pope's call at this time.

These Europa powers knew earlier than the Italian Asian kingdoms that the Ming Dynasty might sweep the entire Europa, so as early as a few months ago, these Europa powers had begun to gather back their troops and strengthen the construction of the defense line, and they had no time to care about the fact that the Italian Asian countries were attacked by the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, the entire Papal States received only the aid of the Italian and Asian vassal states, attacking about 100,000 troops.

Although this is the strength of the entire Italian army, it is still vulnerable to the Ming army of more than 800,000, and in less than three days, the city of Trento was lost.

However, because of the large number of the Ming army and the long supply line, the speed of the march was not fast, especially after the occupation of Vanea, Hungary, and Venice, the Ming had to spare energy to digest the newly occupied areas.

As a result, the Papal States and the few remaining Italian sub-princely states did not wait for the assistance of Europa powers such as Franco, but also had some buffer time to consolidate their defenses.

For example, in the city of Milan at that time, countless slave laborers were constantly raising and widening the city day and night under the whip of the rulers, digging a large moat, and setting traps everywhere.

The sad Papal States never thought that they would face war, nor did they think that one day they would have to pay attention to the defense of the city.

But the artillery of the Eastern Empire was very sharp, which forced them to do so, and for this reason, even Pope Alexander VII himself took out countless funds to strengthen the defenses in various places, and immediately recruited troops, and even brought fourteen-year-old dolls into the army.

For several coastal towns that were being attacked by the Ming navy, the Papal States simply gave up and shrank back to focus on defending Milan, Florence, and Rome. 10
