Chapter 751 It's too bullying

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery on the shore was firing, and the artillery on the battleship was also bombarding. The roar of the huge artillery overwhelmed any other sounds in the city of Manila.

In the era when there were no flowering bombs, even if the solid shells such as iron bullets and chain bombs hit the target, their power was limited. At most, the city wall had a piece of skin broken, and the warship had a hole in it.If luck is a little bit better, a corner of the city wall will be broken, and a big hole will be broken in the warship.

Relying on their superiority in numbers, the warships of the Ming army braved the artillery bombardment of the Spanish and Dutch. After approaching the port, they did not need to aim.

Oh, no, it's not that you don't want money, but it seems that these solid bullets are hot, and you can smash them as fast as you can.

The Ming army fired so many solid bullets that there was a scene like this: a Spanish artillery bombardment, iron bullets roared out, but as soon as they took off, a Ming army's iron bullet flew towards them. They collided in the air and made a loud "snap" sound.

Even with the help of artillery on the top of the city, the Ming army has too many artillery.Especially the warships of the Ming army were attacking at the risk of being hit.If you shoot me an iron bullet, I can return you three.

Under such an offensive, the Spanish and Dutch warships that retreated to the port of Manila soon couldn't resist. Even with the artillery support from the top of the city, they were suppressed by the artillery of the Ming army.

As a result, some warships in the Ming fleet began to approach the seaside and were unable to dock. The officers and soldiers of the Ming army jumped off the ships one after another, jumped onto the beach like dumplings, and then waded to the shore.

One, two... More and more Ming troops began to gather on the shore.

Seeing this situation on the battlefield, Diego, the Spanish governor of Luzon, wiped his sweat for countless times. No longer caring about the so-called gentlemanly demeanor, he shouted sternly: "Quick, the musketeers are ready, the Ming Dynasty is ready." The infantry is about to attack the city!"

"What are you dwarves doing? You are all ready to defend the city! Throw stones at me, and if it doesn't work, fight back!"

"And you, where are your men? Are you blind? You didn't see that the Ming army was about to attack the city. Are you watching a show in the east? Why don't you hurry up and get transferred!"

"You go to the street to send an order, and everyone goes to the top of the city to defend it. This city is going to be broken, and everyone will die. It's useless to hide!"

"..."

The Ming army put on a posture of attacking Manila in one go, making Diego feel that the troops on the west wall were not enough.Worried that he would not be able to defend, he had to draw troops from other sections of the city wall.

This time, the Ming army's attack was too sudden, seriously exceeding Diego's expectations.Otherwise, he would not have sent Filot to find the grain and supplies of the Ming army, nor would he have let West take people to hunt down the remnants of the Ming army, and he would not have expected to meet with the governor of Batavia. Discuss the battle plan against the Ming army.

Otherwise, just drawing manpower from the indigenous tribes to defend the city of Manila would increase a lot of manpower.Thinking of this, Diego cursed Ferdinandi again, that he was nothing but the day before the Ming army came to attack Manila, he wanted to lead people to hunt down the remnants of the Ming people...

Thinking of this, Diego was suddenly startled.

Ferdinandi and West have been out for so long and haven't seen a trace of them coming back. Even if Manila Bay is in such a state, there is no trace of them. Could it be...

Immediately, he remembered what Ferdinandi had reported, saying that he had sent over fifty people, but they all disappeared without a sound.Looking back now, the remaining Ming people should not have this strength. Could it be that the Ming army appeared yesterday?
But if the Ming army came so early, could they be sure that this time it would be calm and suitable for the army to go to sea?Aren't they afraid that the storm will rise again and overturn their army to feed the fish?

"Snapped……"

There was a loud noise near Diego, and it was a blind iron bullet that fell near him but didn't hit him. It scared him back to his senses, and he quickly focused his attention on the present moment. Dare to distract yourself from thinking about other things.

Diego looked closely and saw that there were already many Ming infantry troops who had disembarked from the ship. Although they did not attack, they might have seen them unloading equipment from the warship.There are heavy artillery, vehicles, simple ladders, etc.

Obviously, they are fully prepared for the attack on Manila, and this attack on Manila should be an inevitable battle.

After reaching this conclusion, Diago's sweat came out again.

But fortunately, the Ming warship's offensive eased a lot, and there were not so many cannons.

Diego quickly looked at the sea in the direction of the port and saw the Ming Kingdom's frontline battleships slowly retreating.It can be seen that about half of the hulls of these retired warships are damaged.

"Asshole, disgusting!" Diego just looked at it for a while and suddenly started yelling.Just when the sound of the cannons had become much quieter, it became extremely loud again.

The reason for being so furious is not for anything else, but because the Ming army is too bullying!

The retreat of the warships of the Ming Dynasty that had been bombarded earlier does not mean that the naval battle is over.Instead, the Ming fleet took advantage of their numbers and just withdrew the warships that participated in the battle, and replaced them with warships that had not yet had a chance to participate in the battle.

However, the remnants of the warships in Spain and the Netherlands were bullied miserably by the Ming army. It’s like an adult beating a child. Son, this is too bullying!

"Asshole, disgusting, asshole, disgusting..." Diego scolded viciously for a while, and then he didn't care about scolding again, and quickly gave him an order to strengthen the defense of the port again, and even took advantage of all the artillery on the other city walls. With this kung fu transferred, otherwise, it is very likely that they will not be able to withstand the second wave of offensive by the Ming army.

The one who felt the same way as him was Anthony, the governor of Batavia in the Netherlands who was tied to the bow.At this time, he had completely re-understood the Far Eastern Empire.

With the national power of this great Far East empire, once the war machine is really launched, no matter which country's colonial company it is, it is impossible to be its opponent.No matter how backward their warships are, their artillery can't match them, but their complete victory in numbers can crush any family in the Far East.It's really ridiculous that I was still thinking of joining forces with Spain to cut off the idea of ​​the Ming country extending to Nanyang.This is simply daydreaming!

Look, even if he was not ambushed by the Ming army and rushed to Manila to join the Spaniards to deal with the Ming army, at most it would only cause the Ming army to lose more ships and people, and the outcome would definitely not change!Not to mention, the Ming Kingdom still has a huge fleet over the Wa Kingdom!
"Alas..." Anthony couldn't help but sigh deeply as he thought about this.

…………

On the side of the Ming army, after the battleship rotation was completed, a new batch of warships approached Anila Port again, just like the first time, as if those iron bombs were hot potatoes, and they were desperately blasted out.

"Boom boom boom..."

The roar of artillery has once again become the main theme of many songs in Manila.

The dilapidated Spanish and Dutch warships could no longer withstand the fierce bombardment of the Ming army. The crew jumped into the sea one after another, or simply docked the warships on the pier, and the sailors began to flee to Manila.

On the distant shore, the Ming infantry brought their siege equipment and began to drive towards Manila City.

Seeing all this, Diego felt like he was going to die.

However, it was impossible for him to just sit there and wait for death.Shouting loudly, urging, and cursing, asking his men to prepare for defense.

However, when he was yelling and trying to strengthen the defense in the direction of the west port, suddenly one of his subordinates ran over almost scrambling, while avoiding the bombardment of the Ming army artillery outside the city, he shouted at him. shouted.

However, the artillery bombardment above and below the city, as well as other sounds, were so noisy that Diego couldn't hear what he was shouting at all.But faintly, seeing that his subordinate was so flustered, he felt a little bad in his heart.

The man rushed in front of Diego and almost missed him, but he didn't even think about apologizing for the collision with the governor, but shouted straight at Diego: "Ming army...Ming army attack coming!"

Isn't this nonsense, I can't see the Ming army rushing over, and I want you to come over in such a panic to report?
However, before he had time to reprimand him, he saw this subordinate's hand pointing to the east.

After coming back to his senses, Diego's already defeated face suddenly turned paler, and he confirmed with a little disbelief: "The Ming army also appeared in the east?"

"The attack will come up soon!" The subordinate nodded with a mournful face, "Your Excellency Governor, send troops to reinforce quickly, if it is too late, it will be too late!"

The moment he heard his words clearly, Diego's head went blank. He couldn't figure it out, how could the Ming army appear in the east?This is impossible!
After being dazed for a while, he came back to his senses. Of course he was not willing to let it go like this, and quickly started calling for people to send reinforcements to the eastern city wall.There is no artillery suppression over there, and even the Musketeers have been transferred to the west. The defense is too weak, so reinforcements must be rushed.

However, before he finished deploying his staff, he heard a loud cheer suddenly coming from the east gate.The sound was so loud that even the roar of the artillery could not cover it.

Turning his head, Diego saw a red torrent pouring into the city to the east, and then divided into many small streams, either attacking the sides of the city wall, continuing to attack along the city wall, or scattered in the streets middle.

That red is so dazzling!
Not only that, at this moment, I saw the fireworks at the east gate bursting, colorful, even in the daytime, they can be seen clearly.One after another, it becomes clearer.

There is no doubt that this is a signal flare, and the Ming people used the fireworks they are good at to send out the signal flare.

　Thanks to Nie Jia and SHAJIA for the reward!
