When he saw the soldiers and horses of the Tang Army coming out of that valley and almost in a steady stream, Major Gonzalez, the defender of Laoag City, unconsciously gasped.

info "Damn, why does this yellow-skinned monkey have so many troops! ”

Gonzalez smacked the bricks on the city wall hard, his gray-blue eyes filled with deep fear.

What to do?

The Tang army had more than 10,000 men and a large number of artillery to help, and its attack capability could be imagined to be terrifying.

At present, there are only about 300 Spanish soldiers, and the other is a native servant army of 1,000 people, and these soldiers and horses have now all been arranged by themselves to defend the city on the four walls.

But with these soldiers and horses alone, can they really defend this Laoag city?

Looking at the Tang Army, which was getting closer and closer in his direction, Gonzalez only felt a chill down his spine.

It's just that now, can I do anything other than hold on to the city?

Or, is there any other choice for me now than to stick to it?

Gonzalez knew that even if he really died at the hands of the Tang Army, it was better than finally dying at the hands of his own people.

At least, after sacrificing his life for the country, he can still get a commendation medal issued by the royal family, instead of dying in his own hands, and finally have to bear a charge of treason, so that the whole family can't raise their heads.

Gonzalez gritted his teeth fiercely, and his mind was decided.

He turned his head to look and saw that the defenders next to him, whether they were Spaniards or native servants, were all looking at the Tang army who was coming all the way with a look of horror, and everyone's face was full of fear and worry.

Seeing that the war had not yet begun, and his morale was so low, Gonzalez couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

He cleared his throat and shouted to the crowd, "Listen, everyone! Now these yellow-skinned monkeys from China, although they want to fight my idea of Rawag City, this official can tell you that these Chinese are completely self-defeating and completely miscalculated! You must know that the city of Laaag, the first city in the northwestern part of Luzon, was built over many years by the Spanish Empire. My Laoag City, the city is strong, there are many defensive measures, and there are more than ten Franc cannons to help defend the city, so there is no reason to be afraid of them at all! ”

Gonzaleston looked down, saw that everyone was listening carefully, and said loudly: "Are you afraid that the Tang army is outnumbered, are you afraid that your own troops are insufficient?" I tell you that these worries are unnecessary, and that you have no need to be afraid. Because these yellow-skinned monkeys have no chance to storm the city, they will only be blocked from the city of my Ravagjian. Their lowly and foolish heads will spread like watermelons under the walls of my Rawag over the land outside the city. And as long as we hold on for a few days, then a large number of reinforcements will arrive from Manila, and they will join us to fight inside and outside to completely eliminate these yellow-skinned monkeys who don't know whether they are alive or dead! ”

Gonzalez glanced at the expressions of the crowd, and saw that the faces of both the Spanish soldiers and the native servants began to glow with hope, and Gonzalez knew that his speech and agitation had worked.

So Gonzalez began to strike while the iron was hot, and shouted to the Spanish soldiers: "Warriors from Spain, masters of the land of the Philippines. Our Spaniards have traveled all over the United States, Africa and Asia, spreading the glory and splendor of the Spanish Empire to all corners of the earth, enough for future generations to sing forever! As you all know, we Spaniards, no matter where we are, no matter how dangerous the environment is and how weak the troops are, we have never taken the initiative to give up the reason for escape! Therefore, today, I hope that you can join me in continuing to create glory for the Spanish Empire, and trample the ugly bodies of these lowly yellow-skinned monkeys under our feet, so that they can become a solid step for us to be promoted and rich in the future! ”

After listening to the on-site encouragement of the main general Gonres, all the Spanish soldiers had proud and ruthless looks on their faces, and in everyone's eyes, the original look of panic had disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable exhilarating look.

Next, considering that the Tang army might attack the north gate, Gonzalez asked all the Spanish soldiers to guard the north gate, and the twelve Franco cannons were all concentrated here, while the other three city gates were each garrisoned by more than 300 soldiers.

After everything was ready, Gonzalez watched the dazzling swords and guns in the distance, and the neatly armored Tang army getting closer and closer, but his heart was beating drums.

Bless your faithful lambs, O God!

Gonzalez muttered as he made a quick cross across his chest.

At about a thousand paces from the north gate of the city of Laoag, the Tang army stopped advancing.

Immediately, from the Tang army, three groups of infantry were separated, and they circled the city of Laoag from a distance and outflanked the rear of the city.

It turned out that it was the Tang army that followed Li Dingguo's name and assigned the three general soldiers and horses of Battalion A, B, and C of Battalion A in Pingnan Town to the eastern, southern, and western gates of Laoag City, and blocked these gates to prevent the enemy in the city from escaping.

Outside the north gate, only 1,000 Harrier cavalry, 1,000 auxiliaries, and 20 heavy dragon guns remained here.

Seeing these Tang troops acting like this, Gonzalez's heart was cold.

Well, these Tang troops actually have a desire to swallow all the Spanish troops in the city.

Hmph, you yellow-skinned monkeys are so greedy, and you're not afraid to break your teeth!

Next, Gonzalez saw that the 20 artillery pieces of the Tang Army, which were showing a vague light gray color and were very large, were all concentrated on the right side of the north gate, and were slowly pushed by the gunners to a distance of about a thousand meters from the north city wall, and then pushed down from the gun carriage at a distance of about five meters.

Seeing these mighty and hideous huge artillery pieces of the Tang Army, Gonzalez felt his heart tremble.

Such large-caliber artillery has compared with the largest cannon in the Spanish Empire, and these artillery of the Tang Army are only afraid that the power will reach a level that is unimaginable to themselves.

However, the artillery of these Tang troops actually stopped 1,000 meters away, which was indeed the most puzzling thing for Gonzalez.

You must know that in Europe at this time, even the most powerful new Hongyi cannon has an accurate firing range of about 600 meters, and as for the effective firing range, it has only reached 1500 meters.

And now these Tang artillerymen, at a distance of 1,000 meters, began to load gunpowder, stuff iron bullets, and adjust the angle of fire, which is simply a violation of the common sense of artillery operation.

Could it be that the artillery of these Tang troops will be more advanced than the Europeans, and they can hit farther and more accurately?

How is this possible!

Gonzalez frowned and looked at it for a long time, and finally found a reason for himself to explain it in his heart.

That is, these yellow-skinned monkeys, because they were afraid of death at all, in order to avoid being bombarded by the artillery at the head of their own city, they planned to shoot indiscriminately just outside the range of the artillery.

When Laoag's guard general Gonzalez was suspicious, Li Dingguo, the commander of the Tang Army, couldn't help but smile on his face.

He had just received a report from the Tang army that had outflanked him, and he knew that the entire city of Laoag had been firmly surrounded by the Tang army in the middle, and it was already a turtle in an urn, and it was difficult to escape.

Li Dingguo's heart was filled with great joy.

Hmph, Ben will not be afraid that you will dare to resist, and even hope that you will have the courage to resist, Ben will be afraid of you gang of cowards, and you will shrink your neck and leave, then it will be boring.

At this time, the artillerymen also asked him for instructions, telling him that all 20 heavy dragon guns were ready.

A cruel look flashed on Li Dingguo's face, and he immediately gave the order to open fire.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

…… In the deafening sound of cannons, the muzzles of each heavy dragon cannon immediately floated with dark red afterburners and golden flames, and in the dense billowing smoke, twenty huge black iron bullets, with the sound of death, slammed into the wall on the right side of the north side of the city of Laoag.

The dull sound of impact immediately sounded continuously, and the twenty huge black 32-pound iron bullets, as if they had eyes, hit the city wall on the right side of the north gate of Laoag City in an evenly distributed state.

Twenty large holes appeared in an instant on the right side of the north side of the entire Lavag City, and at the edge of each large hole, the thick cracks were as dense as spider webs, and in an unscrupulous shape, they spread out to all sides, and a large number of city wall bricks splashed and cracked, a dust and mist filled the air, and the entire city wall was trembling violently.

There was a bang, and on the city wall on the right side of the north gate, a large number of city bricks fell, revealing the red rammed earth inside.

The rammed earth was also full of cracks and looked crumbling.

On the right side of the city wall on the north side, a large number of Spanish soldiers were shocked to the ears, eyes, nostrils, and mouths were bleeding together, everyone was shocked and bloody, and their sights were shrouded in flying and choking dust mist, and the city wall under their feet was like a swing, shaking violently without stopping.

About twenty or so Spanish soldiers, who were unsteady on their feet, fell from the city wall screaming, and then fell into a mess of meatloaf.

In the face of this sudden and great terror, dozens of Spanish soldiers, screaming in terror, turned around and fled down the road of the city wall.

Seeing this first volley of the Tang Army, he beat these soldiers of his own to the point of crying and calling his mother, and fled in all directions, and Gonzalez was almost angry.

"Don't run! Bastard! Give me all back! ”

Major Gonzalez, who was covered in dust and had a messy beard, looked extremely embarrassed, coughing violently, he slowly stood up against the city wall, but on his right leg, there was a large patch of blood.

It turned out that a broken brick that had just splashed over had fiercely cut his military pants and severely cut his thigh.

In the midst of the chaos, Gonzalez, who was shouting loudly, found that he had no authority in front of the fleeing Spanish soldiers, and one Spanish soldier after another, ignoring his warnings, crossed over him one after another, howling and fleeing off the wall.

Gonzalez was angry and angry, drew his sword from the ground, slashed left and right, and killed several Spanish soldiers in a row, so that the chaotic situation was calmed down a little.

It's just that at this time, the artillery crews of the Tang Army were already clearing their chests, stuffing medicine, loading, and readjusting the angles of the guns, preparing for the next round of shooting.

An inexplicable sense of humiliation struck Gonzalez's heart.

A live punching bag!

This is Gonzalez's most accurate assessment of the Spanish soldiers who are now defending the city.

In addition to being passively beaten like sandbags, can these current defenders have any means of countermeasures?

The artillery of the Tang Army is so strong and sharp, it can accurately hit the wall of Laoag at a distance of 1,000 meters, while its own Fran machine artillery can only hit an accurate range of more than 500 meters, and it can only be beaten and cannot fight back.

In his heart, Gonzalez scolded the yellow-skinned monkey on the other side ten thousand times in the most filthy and obscene language.

And at this time, the second round of shelling of the Don army began again.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

…… Twenty more jet-black 32-pound solid iron bullets roared away.

In the deafening crash, the broken bricks on the city wall rained down, the dust and mist flew up all over the sky, and the pheasants that were lifted off by the iron bullets were thrown in all directions like flying toys.

The Spanish soldiers, who were shaken away, were thrown into the air like pieces of paper, screaming and falling to the ground one after another.

At the same time, with a few terrible muffled rumbling sounds, the entire right side of the north gate of Laoag City began to collapse in succession, and the gap in the collapse was very huge, estimated to be more than forty meters wide.

The entire city wall on the right side of the north side of Laoag has been completely scrapped at this point, and there is no defensive effect, and more than 100 Spanish soldiers stationed on it were either shocked to death or buried alive on the spot by the collapsed city wall.

Seeing such a miserable situation on the right side of the city wall, the Spanish soldiers on the left side of the city wall were all frightened, they wailed, and then ignored Gonzalez's orders, and quickly fled down the road of the city wall.

On the other three city walls, those native soldiers, seeing that the defense line of the north gate guarded by the Spaniards had been completely destroyed, they were all terrified, and many people immediately fled down the city, and Gonzalez, who was standing at the city gate, was covered with dirt and ashes, and he stared at the completely collapsed right city wall, his expression was sluggish, and he had forgotten how to give orders next.

It was still his soldiers who hurriedly lifted him up and fled down the tower together.

At this time, seeing that the city wall on the opposite side had completely collapsed, Li Dingguo was extremely comfortable and immediately began to give orders proudly.

"The whole army obeys the order, and rushes into this city gap, and must take advantage of the chaos of the enemy army to completely wipe it out!"

"Order!"

As soon as Li Dingguo's order was issued, the 1,000 Flying Harrier Light Cavalry, who had long been unable to hold back, immediately let out a sharp howl from their mouths, brandished snow-bright and sharp cavalry spears and cavalry knives, and rushed towards the already chaotic city of Laoag.

After these Flying Harrier cavalry, the 1,000 auxiliaries were also in high spirits and rushed forward.

Originally, they were the main force of logistics, but now they are also wielding knives and guns, scrambling to go to the city of Laoag, wanting to seize the opportunity and make great achievements.
