After setting off from Mexico City, the Spanish army headed north all the way, trying to drive Xinshang Company to Kingsoft, and then encircled Kingsoft Company to the sea to avoid fleeing into the mountains, which will bring new hidden dangers in the future.

Because the Spaniards were well-equipped and the villages and towns along the way were easily taken down by them, Philip felt that his Spanish army and the new merchant company were powerless to stop them.

At the end of August, the Spanish army continued to advance north under the guidance of the guide. After leaving the Dashang River, the army could only walk and slowed down.

Commander Philip was not in a hurry to pursue this, but instead felt that it was just time for the kids to move to Kingsoft.

If the Spanish army breaks in too fast and runs in front of the killer, it will cause some backward killer to be unable to go to Kingsoft, resulting in fish that slipped through the net.

At this time, the Spanish army headed north and arrived at the southern foot of Xiaohua Mountain and approached Yindu.

In the woods, Commander Philip sat on the box and saw Spanish soldiers cutting down trees, moving stones away, and pushing artillery and baggage forward.

The vanguard officer Malilude hurried over the team and saluted: "Master, the scouts discovered that the cadre had built fortifications in Yindu, as if ready to defend Yindu."

When Philip heard this, he raised his head and felt a little surprised that the killer dared to resist: "They did not retreat to Kingsoft?"

Malilude said: "Master, did the cattleman realize our intentions and knew that we wanted to drive them to Jinshan and then annihilate them, so he chose to defend in Yindu."

"It's okay for them to realize it!" Philip stood up and waved his hand. "For these damn kids, their only way to live is to hide far away before the imperial army arrived, and hide in the mountains and forests further north. But they naively thought that being able to fight against the empire was simply seeking death."

Philip said with some emotion: "Actually, our commander hopes that these kids will escape to the mountains and forests in the north. They have developed so many villages in North America in less than four years. When they reclaim new land in the north, we will lead the army to seize their achievements and let these kids develop colonies for us for free."

In northern Mexico, it was originally an undeveloped area, but when the Spanish army headed north, they discovered a large number of villages and fields.

This surprised the Spaniards and were shocked by the ability to develop local people.

Therefore, Philip changed his mind. He felt that if the Ganchao people did not flee to Kingsoft and were surrounded and annihilated, but fled into the mountains and forests in the north, perhaps the colonial government could give them another three or four years to wait for the Ganchao people to reclaim the land, and then take it over and use the Ganchao people to develop the colony for them.

Now the soldiers did not retreat to Jinshan, nor did they continue to move north, but chose to stick to Yindu. Philip immediately ordered Mariluth, "Captain, take your subordinates, let the soldiers know the power of the imperial army and defeat them. Since they do not do as I intend, let the guns and cannons teach them what to do!"

Marilud stood attentively and saluted, "Yes, Commander!"

At that moment, more than a thousand Spanish soldiers pushed the cannons and accelerated their advance towards Yindu.

On August 25th, it was sunny, and on various positions near Yindu, soldiers of Xin Shang were sweating profusely to build fortifications.

At this time, on a hillside on the front of the capital, Liu Jiqiu was leading his soldiers to dig trenches and build mud walls.

On the back of the hillside, soldiers were digging Tibetan soldiers' caves. The digging of soil and stones were carried to the top of the mountain with a load to build fortifications.

Liu Jiqiu was busy at the top of the mountain and placed bags of soil in front of the stone wall to add a layer of protection to the fortifications built by the stone to avoid the formation of jumps and shells smashing stones and splashing the soldiers.

"Brothers, work harder, the enemy's scouts and appearances, and the large group of troops is probably not far away!" Liu Jiqiu was carrying the earthen bags and shouting, "We must repair the fortifications before they attack!"

The tired soldiers on the hill heard the order and cheered up their spirits and accelerated their movements.

At this time, when the soldiers on the mountain were busy, the soldiers in charge of observation suddenly found that the figure of the Spanish army appeared in the forest in the distance.

He put on a pergola in his hand and squinted his eyes to see clearly that there were indeed a large number of people coming out of the woods. He immediately turned around and sounded the alarm, "There is an enemy! The colonists are here!"

When Liu Jiqiu heard the words, he quickly put down his plan and climbed up to the top of the mountain. When he stood on the top of the mountain, he immediately followed the direction indicated by the soldiers, and then saw an enemy coming.

Without the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, he narrowed his eyes and saw a Spanish army, about a thousand men, carrying artillery, which should be the vanguard of the enemy's army.

Seeing this, Liu Jiqiu waved his hand quickly, "Enter the fortifications and prepare for the fight!"

The busy soldiers on the mountain hurriedly hid behind the cover, picked up their weapons, and poked their heads out to observe the enemy.

At this time, the Spanish vanguard arrived in the southern suburbs of Yindu. Captain Marilude took out the thousand-mile mirror and observed the terrain of Yindu. He found that the city was built on the hillside, which could be said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack.

After observing the city for a while, he saw the Xuanbird flag flying above and the dense heads on the city, he sneered contemptuously, "Does the Qian people think this can resist the attack of the imperial army? It's really too naive."

In the eyes of the Spaniards, no city is worth mentioning except for the castle, let alone a dirt city.

At this time, Marilud put down his telescope and was about to command the army to continue advancing when he suddenly saw an army on the hill about three miles in front of the city.

Marilud picked up the telescope again and looked at the hilltop. Sure enough, he saw the fortifications built by the army on it.

He observed carefully for a while, and then said to his subordinates around him: "These hills blocked our way to attack Yindu. I will send orders to let the artillery push the artillery and shoot me the hills. The infantry is ready to take the position of the hills."

"Yes, Captain!" The Spanish officer saluted quickly.

Because Xinshang Company lacked artillery and did not meet the Shang army using cannons along the way, the Spaniards arrogantly did not build artillery arrays and did not dig bunkers for artillery, so they lined up directly at the foot of the mountain.

The ten artillery were quickly set up, the artillery completed loading, and the mixed-race servants who acted as cannon fodder also took out the weapons and arranged in formation to prepare for an attack.

On the top of the mountain, Liu Jiqiu looked out and observed the situation at the foot of the mountain. Seeing this, he quickly shouted: "It's time to shoot a cannon, be careful to hide!"

Upon hearing the sound, a thousand Shang soldiers on the hillside hurriedly retreated to the bunker and into the trench.
