"God, where is the artillery of the Ming army, how can it be so fierce!" The Spanish governor of Luzon shouted angrily.

Immediately, the Spanish governor of Luzon climbed to a high place that was not bombarded by Ming artillery and watched with a monocular telescope.

When he saw that the Ming artillery was located outside the range of their Spanish cannons, the face of the Spanish governor of Luzon darkened.

"No, it can't be!" When he saw that the Ming army's cannon could fire a round almost every few breaths, the Spanish governor of Luzon directly exclaimed in horror.

The governor of Luzon couldn't believe such eyes, to say that the most powerful new fourteen-pounder cannon in the Spanish Empire was advanced enough, but compared with the cannon that the Ming army showed at this moment, it was simply incomparable, and it brought him fear.

The face of the Spanish governor of Luzon was constantly changing, with fear and hideousness.

But no matter how strong the Ming army was, he had no way to retreat, he could only fight desperately with the Ming army, only hoping that with God's blessing, the Ming army would eventually be defeated by him!

"How many cannons do we have left?" The governor of Luzon of Spain had made up his mind and asked a Spanish general.

"Report to the Governor, we still have fifteen cannons left!" The Spanish general replied.

This is still the reason why all of them were not exposed just now, otherwise they will definitely be destroyed by the Ming army, which is still the habit of the Spanish army to fight, but it seems unrealistic to defeat the Ming army by relying on the last hidden fifteen cannons, but it is still possible to kill and injure some Ming soldiers by surprise.

As long as he held Manila and did not let the Ming army occupy it, then he would have a chance to defeat the Ming army.

On the side of the Ming army, the walls of the Manila Citadel had almost been blown into ruins, and because the artillery camp was located 2,300 meters away from Manila, it was impossible to cover Manila at such a distance.

On the one hand, Yan Yingyuan ordered the army to charge and occupy the front line, and on the other hand, he ordered the artillery battalion position to move forward.

"Chongah" was just a tentative charge just now, so there were only 1,000 Ming soldiers, but this time as many as 5,000 Ming soldiers participated in the charge and rushed towards Manila Castle.

Soon, the Ming soldiers rushed within 500 meters of the Manila Citadel, and the artillery battalion behind slowly pushed forward a hundred field cannons.

The field artillery of the Ming army was less than 500 catties, and there was no need to re-disassemble it at such a close distance, and three artillery battalion soldiers were able to slowly advance it.

In the castle of Manila, watching the Ming soldiers rushing towards the sea, the corner of the eyes of the Spanish governor of Luzon jumped.

"Your Excellency the Governor, it is said that the muskets of the Ming army are also farther than our flintlock muskets, do you want to order the cannons to open fire to stop the Ming soldiers from storming into the castle?" A Spanish general asked the Spanish governor of Luzon.

Hearing his subordinates' words, the corners of the eyes of the Spanish governor of Luzon twitched uncontrollably a few times, and now he remembered that in the intelligence, the muskets of the Ming army seemed to be more powerful than their Spanish flintlock pistols, and the artillery was more advanced than their Spanish ones, and the muskets were also more advanced than their Spanish ones, God was too good at joking.

"No, the cannon will be destroyed if you can't kill a few ordinary Ming soldiers, I want to use it to deal with the artillery of the Ming army, only by destroying a part of the Ming army's artillery, can they give full play to their greatest value!" Said the Governor of Luzon of Spain.

At this time, the Governor of Luzon of Spain had the rare idea of having some famous generals, and he was no longer arrogant and impulsive, which was too rare.

The Ming soldiers quickly rushed to the bottom of the castle, although the walls of the castle had been blown into ruins and collapsed, but the collapsed rock wall still provided cover for the Spanish soldiers, and the range advantage of the Ming rifles did not play a big role.

The two sides engaged in a battle of "bang bang bang", and the Ming soldiers stood 150 meters away to shoot, and several machine guns were also placed in front, ready to fire at the Spanish soldiers hiding.

It happened that a group of Spanish soldiers stood up and shot at the Ming soldiers while they had just finished firing.

"Da Da" several machine guns took the opportunity to shuttle bullets past.

"Poof! Burst! Poof, seven or eight Spanish soldiers were killed on the spot, and the rest of the Spanish soldiers squatted down quickly and were not shot, but it also made the Spanish soldiers dare not stand up and shoot at the Ming soldiers, so they could only hide behind the bunker and prevent the Ming soldiers from attacking.

In fact, the Ming soldiers did not intend to attack at this time.

Although the front castle wall of Manila has been destroyed, there are a large number of buildings in the castle, the Ming soldiers rushed into it at this time, once they fell into a street battle, even if they could still defeat the Spanish army 100%, but the Ming soldiers would inevitably pay a certain number of casualties, which was an unnecessary loss, so it was necessary to wait for the artillery to be in place, destroy the buildings in Manila, and take into account the morale of the Spanish army in the castle, and the Ming soldiers would really enter the castle to clear the Spanish army inside.

The soldiers of the Ming artillery battalion slowly moved the 100 field cannons forward, and soon entered a distance of less than two thousand meters from Manila.

1,800 meters, 1,600 meters

Yan Yingyuan's order was to move to a distance of one thousand meters, so that he could completely cover the entire Manila castle.

In the castle of Manila, at the hidden high point, the governor of Luzon of Spain counted the moving cannons of the Ming army, and his eyes were not only jumping, but his face was dark.

Although it had been expected that the number of cannons of the Ming army would not be less, seeing the Ming army's full hundred cannons still made the Spanish governor of Luzon nervous. This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the Ming cannons look extremely small, he can't even understand how the Ming cannons can be equipped with such a large barrel with such a thin body, according to his estimates, the heaviest cannon of the Ming army will not exceed six hundred pounds, but it is such a small cannon, but the power shown just now is more powerful than their Spanish cannons that weigh nearly 4,000 pounds and can fire eighteen-pound shells.

It's just small, the cannonball is powerful, and the deflection rate of fire is so fast that it makes people vomit blood.

The Spanish governor of Luzon could predict that the power of one of the Ming cannons was at least the same as that of their six most powerful Spanish cannons, with a body of 4,000 pounds and capable of firing eighteen-pound cannonballs.

This kind of cognition made the Governor of Luzon in Spain feel chills, it was terrifying! God can't joke like that!
