I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 665: Escape to France
"You did a good job. Go down. Our Tang Dynasty will not treat unfairly those who have made contributions to our Tang Dynasty."

When McDonald heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face. His life was finally saved.

Then he saluted Li Zheng again, and the soldiers of the Bandit-Suppressing Army beside him led him out of the tent.

After pacifying McDonald, Li Zheng turned to look at Li Kan.

"Mr. Li, send out a fleet to see if you can stop Queen John and her entourage. But I'm sure they've already escaped from John's country, so just do your best."

"The king and his ministers of John country are so shameless that they just abandoned the capital and ran away." After complaining, Li Kan went down to make arrangements.

"Li Ke, pass the order down, Li Ke starts to attack the city. Since the Queen of John Country has abandoned John Country, we will accept it with a smile."

Li Ke took the order and went down to arrange the siege.

King John.

The entire city wall was filled with an atmosphere of despair. The sky was filled with dense Tang Dynasty hot air balloons, and under the city, rows of Shenwu cannons were ready for battle.

The soldiers of John's country have already witnessed the horror of hot air balloons, and they have no means to deal with it.

What made them most desperate was the news spread among the soldiers that their respected Queen had abandoned them.

Originally, the soldiers of John's country did not believe it, but with the passage of time and their quality, the authenticity of the news seemed to be proven.

According to past practice, Her Majesty the Queen would appear before them to boost morale before a major battle.

All this made the already low morale of John's defenders even lower.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The Tang Dynasty's attack began.

Capturing King John was surprisingly easy for the Tang Dynasty's rulers and ministers.

Basically, after a few rounds of Shenwu cannon fire, King John's Capital, which should have been the most difficult place to capture, was easily conquered by the Tang Dynasty. Even in the capital, the Tang Dynasty soldiers did not encounter any decent resistance.

Li Zheng stood in front of the treasury in King John's capital, looking at the mountains of gold, silver and treasures. Even though Li Zheng was a man who had seen a lot of storms, he was still a little shocked.

Of course, all of this belongs to the Tang Dynasty now.

After conquering King John's capital, Li Zheng ordered McDonald to spread the news of the Queen of John and her ministers' escape to other cities in John's kingdom.

In this way, the entire territory of John's Kingdom, which had lost its spiritual support, was conquered by the Tang Dynasty in just two months.

After thinking for a long time, Li Zheng decided to leave 50,000 Tang soldiers to control the capital of King John and even other city-states of King John. Li Zheng gave them the Three Corpses Brain Pill.

The people of John Kingdom did not show much resistance due to the escape of the Queen. Fifty thousand troops combined with the Three Corpses Brain Pill were enough to initially control John Kingdom.

On the other side, Li Kan was ordered to chase in the direction where the Queen of John fled.

As Li Zheng expected, Victoria and her group had already boarded the fleeing fleet before McDonald left the royal capital.

By the time McDonald arrived at Li Zheng's tent, several hours had passed, and Victoria and her group had already run a long distance.

I have to say that during this critical moment for the king and his ministers of John Country, I was able to remain sober, which was rare.

If they were greedy for the gold and silver treasures in the treasury and delayed a little, they would be caught on the spot by Li Kan. Li Kan chased for a long distance and lost sight of the king and his ministers, but he did not choose to return to John's country.

Li Kan's plan was to chase all the way to the French country and force it to hand over John and his entourage.

If France is sensible and hands over the king and his ministers, that would be fine. But if they refuse, Li Kan will investigate the situation in France in advance.

However, based on Li Kan's understanding of these Westerners, they are all extremely arrogant and will probably not hand over the king and his ministers of John obediently.

But Li Kan was not worried about the safety of this fleet. Although it was impossible to conquer France and Spain with this fleet, self-preservation was not a problem.

This is Li Kan’s confidence and the confidence of the Tang Dynasty Navy.

France and Spain are located to the east of John's country. The two countries are separated by a strait across the sea.

Speaking of which, the strength of France and Spain is not weak. Although it is not as strong as the original John Kingdom, it is almost the same.

In history, if an ambitious king wanted to expand, the other party would undoubtedly be the target that he had to conquer, so wars often broke out between the two countries.

But in recent decades, thanks to Her Majesty the Queen, the two countries have been living in peace.

Calais is the closest city in France to John's country.

Because this city is close to the sea and is closest to John's country, it has developed trade and is very prosperous during the peacetime between the two countries, but it is also the first to be hit during the war between the two countries.

Therefore, the city of Calais has tall city walls comparable to those of the French and Spanish capitals.

The lord of Calais was Simon, who also served as the military commander of France and Spain. Simon's status was equivalent to that of Zheng Xuan, the Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty, and he was in charge of all the troop movements of France and Spain.

Simon was enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea in his noble residence when one of his servants came in hurriedly to report.

"Lord Simon, my men are heading towards the John Kingdom's fleet in the strait."

After receiving the report, Simon could not help but curse: "What are these guys from John Country doing? Why did they come to my country of France for no reason? Are they trying to start a war?"

Because it took the Tang Dynasty too short a time to conquer the Kingdom of John, and the two countries did not have much in-depth communication except for necessary trade, Simon really did not know about the news of the Tang Dynasty's attack on the Kingdom of John.

Half an hour later, Simon slowly appeared on the wall of Calais. He was not too worried that John would provoke a war. He had absolute confidence in the city of Calais.

After Simon stopped, he looked over and saw that the two fleets were flying the flags of Her Majesty the Queen of John.

Simon would also be confused.

Simon issued an order to allow John's fleet to dock.

A moment later, Victoria, Davis and their party stepped into Simon's City Lord's Mansion.

During the entire escape, the people of John's country were in a state of fear and anxiety, fearing that the Tang navy would catch up with them.

When they stepped into the city lord's mansion in France and Spain, the paleness on Victoria's pretty face faded a little.

After Victoria and her group calmed down a little, Davis spoke slowly and found Simon to tell John what happened in the country.

Of course, in Davis's words, he only emphasized the terrifying nature of the Tang Dynasty's army. As for their king and his ministers, they had no choice but to flee to France and Spain after the capital was captured.

Simon looked at the glamorous group of John's king and ministers, and was skeptical about Davis's words. If the Tang Kingdom was really that powerful, could this group of people escape?
