Chapter 798: Annihilation of the Spanish Army (3)

The Ming artillery battalion quickly moved 100 field cannons to a distance of only 1,300 meters from Manila, and the Spanish governor of Luzon knew he could not hesitate any longer.

"All the remaining cannons are fired, destroy the cannons of the Ming people!" The Spanish governor of Luzon shouted.

After a while, about a hundred meters behind the ruined castle wall, the last fifteen cannons hidden on the east and west forts opened fire with all their might, firing at the moving Ming artillery camp.

Fifteen Spanish cannons were "boom boom", ten of which were the latest Spanish fourteen-pounder guns, and five of which were old eighteen-pounder cannons.

The shells exploded in the forward Ming artillery barracks.

With a loud bang, a cannonball accurately hit a Ming cannon, and the entire Ming artillery was blown up on the spot, the barrel and the cannon body disintegrated in the air, and the three Ming soldiers who moved the cannon were also swept away by the power of the cannonball, three dead and one seriously injured!

Not only this cannon, but also another Ming cannon, although it was not directly hit by the shell, the air wave generated by the explosion of the shell next to it also knocked the Ming cannon to the ground, and the three Ming soldiers who pushed the cannon were also seriously injured.

In addition to the two cannons that were destroyed, many soldiers of the Ming artillery battalion were killed and injured by other shells.

Hey, the Spaniards even have another cannon hidden! Yan Yingyuan's face was pale, he never thought that the Spaniards actually had another cannon hidden, he thought that the shelling just now had destroyed all the Spaniards' cannons, now it seems that the Spaniards did not expose all the cannons for the first time, the Spaniards have a set, and he blames himself for being careless.

"The artillery battalion stops moving forward and strikes back immediately!" Yan Yingyuan ordered angrily.

The artillery battalion of the Ming army immediately stopped moving forward, and one by one the gunners were in position, urgently adjusting the muzzle of the cannon and aiming it in the direction of the Spanish cannon fire just now.

At the same time that the Ming gunners urgently adjusted the muzzles, the fifteen Spanish cannons hidden in the castle were also reloaded with shells, and the second round of artillery was fired.

"Boom Boom"

Another fifteen shells exploded in the Ming artillery camp, and this time, as many as three Ming artillery pieces were destroyed, and many soldiers in the Ming artillery camp were also killed and wounded.

After two rounds, the Ming army lost five cannons.

Yan Yingyuan's face turned even more pale, careless, really careless!

"Fight back, fight back now!" Yan Yingyuan yelled angrily.

With such heavy losses, many people were killed and wounded, and the Ming artillery battalion was also full of anger.

Bang! Shells were stuffed into the chambers.

"Fire!"

The remaining ninety-five Ming artillery pieces fired a salvo and shelled fiercely in the direction of the Spanish artillery.

The dense cannonballs of "Boom Boom" were divided into two waves, and in an instant, they destroyed the fifteen cannons hidden in Spain on the east and west sides of the castle.

The shells exploded, and the Spanish cannons on the Yimen Turrets were lifted away, and the Spanish artillery next to them was also lifted away, and some Spanish artillerymen were directly blown into minced meat, with stumps and broken arms and blood splattered.

The artillery battalion of the Ming army resolutely did not give the Spanish artillery a chance to shell again.

After the cannon was discharged, the Ming artillery quickly replaced it with new shells, and continued to bombard the east and west batteries where the Spanish artillery was located in just a few breaths.

After two rounds of artillery bombardment by the Ming army, none of the fifteen Spanish cannons survived.

This is not over, and the revenge of the Ming army is far from over.

"The artillery battalion continues to bombard Manila, and I want to reduce Manila to ruins!" Yan Yingyuan ordered with a sinister look.

Although at this moment the artillery battalion did not move forward to the predetermined distance of one thousand meters, but three hundred meters away, it was still able to barely cover the whole of Manila.

"Boom, boom, boom" The artillery battalion of the Ming army immediately opened fire on their own guns, indiscriminately firing at the Manila Castle.

The indiscriminate bombardment made it impossible to predict where the shells would fall, but the soldiers of the Ming artillery battalion did not care about this, as long as the shells exploded in the city of Manila.

Inside the castle, at that hidden high point, the Spanish governor of Luzon was already white.

Just now, through the monocular binoculars, he saw with his own eyes how the Ming artillery loaded the shells, as well as the situation when the Ming artillery fired, which frightened the Spanish governor of Luzon, and frightened him even more than when he first saw the power of the Ming artillery.

What did he see, the Ming artillery actually directly stuffed the yellow, orange and orange long shells into the barrel, and then the cannon could be fired, and it didn't even need to be ignited to be able to fire, and what was even more terrifying was that the Ming artillery seemed to have no recoil, which simply subverted his perception of the cannon.

How is it possible, how could Da Ming come up with such an advanced cannon!

Eastern Empire, the mysterious Eastern Empire! One of the purposes of European voyages was to find a trade route to this world, and it is said that gunpowder and cannons were first created by the people of this Eastern Empire!

Could it be that this is the reason why Da Ming was able to create such an advanced cannon?

Could it be that O'Barro's progress over the years has not left behind the mysterious Eastern Empire?

No, they once left this Eastern Empire behind, just a few decades ago, they Spaniards and Portuguese also sold red-coated cannons to this Eastern Empire, at that time, their red-coated cannons were already more advanced than the cannons produced by the Ming themselves, this Eastern Empire has fallen behind them, and it is already behind them like other natives in the world.

Why is it that in just a few decades, this Eastern Empire has surpassed the past!

The Spanish governor of Luzon couldn't figure it out, he gritted his teeth.

However, the Spanish governor of Luzon did not get angry for long, and the Ming army indiscriminately bombarded the city with shells that soon struck.

"Boom Boom"

There were violent explosions everywhere, flames soaring into the sky, and debris flying!

The buildings in the castle were blown up by the Ming army's shells, and the entire castle seemed to be shrouded in a sea of fire.

"Ahh

This scene is playing out in many more places.

Soon, just a few breaths apart, the second round of artillery bombardment of the Ming army hit.

Heavy artillery fire once again ravaged the Manila Castle.

A cannonball flew towards the high point where the Spanish governor of Luzon stood.

"Lord Governor, be careful!" The two Spanish soldiers who were guarding him narrowly knocked down the Spanish governor of Luzon.

At the moment before being thrown to the ground, the Spanish governor of Luzon sadly realized that he wanted to stop the Ming army and hold Manila, what a ridiculous joke, the Ming army not only advanced artillery, advanced muskets, and even muskets that could fire continuously, and there were more soldiers than the Spanish soldiers in his castle, and now under the bombardment of such fierce artillery fire by the Ming army, the Ming soldiers did not need to enter the city to blow them all up, how could they have the possibility of defeating the Ming army.
