General Piles began to feel anxious after eight consecutive days of attacks. Originally, his plan was to take down Sanhe Town first, and then use this as a stronghold to open a passage to the north.

According to General Piles's idea, it would take not much time to capture Sanhe Town. With the strong military power and artillery configuration in Spain, it would take only two or three days at most. But he never expected that Sanhe Town would be such a hard bone. If it was on the European battlefield, such an attack would be enough to cause the opponent's resistance to collapse, but Sanhe Town was still in the hands of the Ming army.

As time went by, General Piles felt a great sense of crisis. He knew very well that once the Ming reinforcements arrived, let alone Sanhe Town, even his army would be in trouble.

At this time, General Piles felt a little difficult to get on the verge of a tiger. Although he did not participate in the battle between the Ming army and the Spanish coalition forces, he felt the helplessness and anxiety of the coalition commander at that time.

This would never be done anymore. After thinking for a long time, General Piles made the decision to divide the troops. He was ready to distribute some troops to continue besieging Sanhe Town, and his main force bypassed Sanhe Town and headed north to occupy the passage ahead.

This tactic is risky, and General Piles is very clear about this, but he didn't have many choices at this time. If he didn't do this, he would have to waste his precious time here. This is the result that General Piles didn't want to see.

Since the decision was made, the Spanish side quickly implemented it. General Piles asked his deputy, Colonel Juan, to continue attacking Sanhe Town, and his main force went north all over.

"Is there any news from the French?" General Piles, who led his troops north, asked his subordinates that the border between France and the Ming Dynasty had not been conveyed yet, which made General Piles very anxious. According to his thoughts when sending troops, as long as Spain went to war with the Ming Dynasty, France would attack the Ming Dynasty at the same time. The two countries were allies and belonged to the Bourbon dynasty, which was very confident.

Moreover, before Spain sent troops, the relationship between France and the Ming Dynasty had reached a freezing point. The two sides were eyeing the border and even had several conflicts. The shadows of the war were densely covered, and a war would break out at any time.

It is precisely because of this that General Piles has strong confidence. Because he felt that once France joins the war, the Ming Dynasty will fall into a two-line battle, which is excellent for Spain. This not only reduces the strong pressure from Spain to face the Ming Dynasty alone, but also can also give the Ming Dynasty a heavy blow with the cooperation of France, so that the whole world can see the power of Spain.

But now, what makes General Piles anxious is that news from France has not yet come. It is logical that this is not true! For this reason, General Piles sent people to inquire about the situation several times, and even sent a verbal message to the Governor of New Spain, asking Viscount Santander to urge France to send troops as soon as possible.

"I'm sorry, your lord..." The answer from his subordinates was still the same. This same reply has made General Piles' ears sound so loud these days.

He colded his face, cursed in a voice that others could not hear, and then asked someone to continue inquiring about the situation in France.

Spain's tactical adjustments immediately reduced the pressure on Sanhe Town. However, compared with the defenders of Sanhe Town, the Spanish troops left outside Sanhe Town still had an advantage, and the situation was not yet extremely optimistic.

However, this was enough for Yin Xiong. He keenly captured the arrival of the fighter plane. For this reason, Yin Xiong decisively adjusted his defense and contacted the cavalry battalion that had been outside the city, intending to take advantage of the opportunity of Spain's main force heading north to give the Spanish a severe lesson.

At this time, Louis, the Governor of the New World in France, in the northeast, was furious at the Spanish's sudden dispatch of troops, and cursed the Governor of New Spain Viscount Santander as a wine bag and General Piles was an idiot with muscles in his mind.

The attitude Louis made was only limited to the development of the Ming Dynasty in the New World, and was also forced to make some necessary attitudes under pressure from Paris. In fact, Louis had never thought of actually going to war with the Ming Dynasty. Louis, who was clear-headed, knew the military strength of the Ming Dynasty in the New World. Although France was indeed strong, Louis was not sure to win the war once it started.

Especially when Louis learned from the side that the reason why the Spanish suddenly launched the war with the Ming Dynasty alone was on the surface to lose the battle of revenge in Luzon, but behind it was the shadow of the British.

This further identifies Louis's original idea. All of this was done by the abominable British people. The British instigated them and turned to find the idiot Viscount Santander without letting Louis fall from the trap. The governor, who relied on his daughter, made such a decision after hearing the British's advice or taking advantage of them.

"Your Excellency, the Governor of New Spain has sent another inquiry." Baptiste hurriedly knocked on the door of Louis' study, walked in quickly and whispered.

Louis took the letter and glanced at it, and threw it on the ground like garbage.

"Your Excellency, I understand your idea, but Spain is different from other countries. Once we remain unmoved, Paris..."

"It's all a bunch of idiots!" Louis cursed with gritting his teeth, and his high heels slammed on the marble ground. Baptister believed that if the New Spanish Governor Viscount Santander stood in front of Louis, Louis would probably take off his high heels and smash the idiot's head with his sharp soles.

Baptiste was right. Louis is in a dilemma now. Although he did not want to officially start a war with the Ming Dynasty, the Spanish suddenly attacked and put Louis on the fire to roast it.

Louis can indeed hold his troops alone, but he will also bear the consequences of doing so.

Spain belonged to the Bourbon dynasty. For the sake of Spain's throne, Louis XIV would rather launch a war that swept across Europe without making any concessions.

Now, if Louis ignores Spain and leads to Spain's defeat, then Louis will not only lose the throne of the governor, but will even be regarded as a traitor and escort back to Paris for trial.

Louis was unacceptable to such a result. Therefore, there were not many choices before Louis, and the time he chose was extremely urgent.

"What's the situation with the British now?" Louis asked after frowning and thought for a while.

"Your Excellency, the British did nothing, everything seemed as usual."

"Haha, it's so normal." Louis sneered. He concluded that the British had been prepared secretly, because once the war started, the British would inevitably take action. As for what kind of action it was, I don't know yet. Anyway, they must be on guard against the British no matter what.

"Batty, we don't have many choices, you know that." Louis turned his eyes to Baptiste and sighed.

Baptiste nodded silently. He admitted that Louis was right, but now he also understood that it was not only Louis, but also that he had no choice.

"You go to the front line, what should come will come eventually, but Barty, I hope you remember to try not to expand the war and control the war to a level that can be controlled."
