Trier could clearly see through the clairvoyance that the black straight line in the distance had turned into a large number of infantry, cavalry, and other troops of all kinds, as if by magic.

info And the most striking thing is the twenty cannons pushed at the front, pulled by many horses, that are shining with a cold metallic sheen.

"Damn, I didn't expect the strength of the yellow-skinned monkey to be so many!"

Trier lowered his glasses, and his eyes were filled with fear.

What to do?

The Ming army has about more than 10,000 people, which is ten times the number of its own soldiers, and there is artillery to help, even if they want to defend the city to the death, but including the familiar servant army, the total Spanish defenders are only more than 1,500 people.

However, what else can be done except grit your teeth and continue to fight, you can't abandon the city and flee.

"Your Excellency, the Ming army is so numerous, our army 。。。。。。"

Adjutant Rodriguez's lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were more terrified than Trier's.

"Hmph, it's come to this, can we still abandon the city and escape!"

Teshiai roared back, and patted a Franc machine gun in front of him with all his might: "Our noble and powerful Spaniards, from the United States, to Africa, and then to Asia, no matter how dangerous the situation is, no matter how weak the troops are, they have never taken the initiative to escape!" Although these Ming people have a large number of troops, how can the artillery possessed by these yellow-skinned monkeys who are still in the Middle Ages be compared to us in Spain, they are only afraid of bluffing, but there is nothing to fear. What's more, we have the solid walls of Santo Domingo as a backing, and we have a lot of excellent artillery such as Francos to help defend the city, which is enough to defeat these yellow-skinned monkeys who don't know whether to live or die! ”

Listening to the general's passionate encouragement, the Spanish defenders, who were originally frightened by the momentum of the Ming army, began to regain their courage in their hearts, and their faces also showed ruthlessness.

On the wall of the south gate, about 1,000 Spaniards have put up their guns, loaded their cannons, and adjusted their firing angles.

On the other three walls, there were more than 100 Spanish soldiers, with the 500 familiar servants guarding them, and the four walls were noisy and busy.

It's just that Trier, as the commander of the city, was beating a drum in his heart for the Ming army in the distance, which was shining with swords and guns, neat armor, and approaching like a machine.

May God bless his faithful servant," Trier murmured, making a quick cross on his chest.

At a distance of about 1,000 meters from the city gate, the Ming army finally stopped advancing.

Trier saw that the Ming army concentrated 10 heavy steel cannons with huge muzzles on the left side of the south gate of Santo Domingo, and another 10 smaller guns on the right.

Later, Trier saw that the Ming army began to load gunpowder on the spot and adjust the angle of fire, which could not help but make him suspicious.

What are these yellow-skinned monkeys doing?

He knew that at this time in Europe, even the most powerful new Hongyi cannon had an accurate firing range of about 600 meters, and as for the effective firing range, the highest was only 1,500 meters.

And now, these Ming troops are actually at 1,000 meters, they have begun to load gunpowder, stuff iron bullets, and adjust the angle of fire, is it possible that the artillery of these yellow-skinned monkeys is even more advanced than that of the Europeans?

Or are these monkeys cowardly and afraid of death, intending to shoot indiscriminately out of the range of the artillery?

At this time, Trier, who was bewildered, saw that the cavalry, who had been on the left and right flanks, and a group of yellow infantrymen in uniform and armor, about 600 men each, roared forward, far around the city walls, and went straight to the other three gates of the city of Saint-Domingo.

"Your Excellency the garrison, it seems that this Ming army intends to surround the city of Santo Domingo on all sides and completely wipe us out in the city."

Rodriguez's voice of fear came in a low voice.

Terrier snorted, but didn't reply, but his teeth gritted harder.

In those three places, the Ming army was already outside the city, and after firmly blocking the exit of the gate on three sides of the city of Santo Domingo, the 10 huge steel cannons of the Ming army on the left side immediately fired in unison with a loud shout from a person who looked like a captain.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

。

。

。

。

。

。

The muzzles of each cannon immediately floated with crimson afterburners and blinding golden fires, and in the dense billowing white smoke, ten jet-black iron bullets, with the whistle of death, slammed into the southern city wall on the left.

The huge impact sound that shattered the eardrum sounded continuously, and the ten black 32-pound iron bullets, as if they had eyes, hit the southern city wall fiercely in an evenly distributed state.

The entire city wall of the south gate of Santo Domingo City, ten big holes appeared in an instant, and at the edge of each big hole, the thick cracked lines were as dense as spider webs, and they spread unscrupulously to the siege, and a large number of city wall bricks splashed and cracked, a piece of dust and mist filled the air, and the entire city wall was trembling violently.

On the city wall, a large number of Spanish soldiers who were shocked to the ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths were bleeding together, everyone was shocked and bloody, and their eyes were shrouded in dust and fog, while the city wall under their feet shook violently like a pendulum, and more than 50 Spanish soldiers who were unsteady on their feet fell from the city wall screaming, and then fell into meat cakes.

The city wall on the left side of the south was suddenly in chaos, and there were dozens of Spanish soldiers, screaming in horror, turning around and fleeing from the road of the city wall.

"Don't run! You guys who have lost the face of the Spanish soldiers, come back to me! ”

Trier, who was covered in dust and hair and had scattered hair, looked extremely embarrassed, coughed violently and stood up against the battlements of the wall, and immediately roared loudly.

But in the midst of the chaos, though he shouted hoarsely, to little avail, a Spanish soldier ran past Trier with a wail, seemingly oblivious to the warning of the supreme garrison.

Enraged and furious, Trier drew his sharp sword and stabbed the fleeing creature from behind to the chest, and the fleeing soldier shook and fell to the ground.

Finally, after his guards killed five or six people in a row, the situation on the city wall stabilized slightly.

Trier thought that the Ming army should immediately start bombarding the city wall on the right side, but he didn't expect that the small and medium-sized steel artillery placed by the Ming army on the right side was just loaded, but did not fire.

At this time, the heavy steel cannons on the left side that had just been fired, and the Ming gunners were already clearing, charging, and reloading for the next round of shooting.

Trier instantly understood the intentions of the Ming army.

Because, after the first round of test firing, the Ming army has seen the situation clearly.

That is, the artillery on the left side alone was enough to smash the southern city wall, make a considerable gap, and allow the Ming army to break through the city.

In this way, if the right side can be preserved, it will cost a lot less money to repair and rebuild after the war.

Fuck, the city isn't broken yet, and these damn yellow-skinned monkeys are already thinking about how they can make their dish more economical and cost-effective.

This is nothing short of a naked humiliation!

Trier's heart was full of anger, but he felt even more inexplicably sad.

In addition to being passively beaten, can I have any countermeasures?

The steel artillery of the Ming army can hit an accurate distance of 1,000 meters, while the artillery at the head of its own city can only hit an accurate range of more than 500 meters.

In his heart, Terrier scolded the yellow-skinned monkey opposite ten thousand times in the dirtiest language.

Soon, however, while Trier was still secretly scolding, the Ming army was ready for the next volley.

The captain-like man shouted again, and the command flag in his hand waved violently.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

。

。

。

。

。

。

Ten more jet-black 32-pound iron bullets roared.

In the deafening crash, the broken bricks on the city wall rained down and the dust and mist spread all over the sky.

The dense cobwebs and cracks on the entire southern wall reached a shocking level.

Trier and all the Spanish defenders felt the wall shaking violently under their feet, and as many as fifty Spanish soldiers, who had not had time to lie down, fell from the wall screaming in shock.

There were three cannons of various types that were also smashed down from under the city wall, and these cannons were smashed down from such a high position, and immediately smashed on the bluestone slab ground, shattering into pieces, and completely turning into a pile of useless scrap metal.

The rest of the Spanish soldiers, no longer need to be mobilized, I don't know who shouted, these guys immediately abandoned their posts, howled and rushed down the road.

"Your Excellency, quickly withdraw it, this wall cannot be defended!"

Adjutant Rodriguez, whose nose was bleeding from a flying brick, yelled at Trier.

Trier, who was almost unsteady on his feet by the fleeing soldiers, looked hideous, and he was still hesitating to hold on, but Rodriguez had already rushed over and dragged him down without saying a word.

Trier sighed, and had to give the order for all the soldiers to go down the city, and then assemble at the entrance of the street in the city, ready to fight to the death with the Ming army that rushed into the city.

Hearing the order of the garrison officer to abandon the city wall, the panicked Spanish soldiers and familiar servants above rushed down from the city wall in case of amnesty.

Seeing that the Spaniards had all withdrawn from the city, Li Xiao, the commander-in-chief stationed behind the artillery array, had a faint smile on his face.

Seeing his own heavy dragon cannon attack so fierce, and seeing that the Spaniards at the head of the city were so timid and incompetent, Li Xiao's heart was extremely relieved.

This feeling of bullying others and hitting the opponent without the strength to fight back is really pleasant.

Of course, the only regret is that the Spaniards, who have become turtles in the urn, still hold on and refuse to surrender, so don't blame Benber for being ruthless.

"Pass my military order, continue to bombard, and completely break down the southern wall on the left side!"

"Order!"

After two more volleys, the entire southern left side of the city wall was already a collapsed and dilapidated image, all the artillery on the city wall had been shaken to the ground, and the collapse of the gaps was as many as eight or nine places, and there were several collapses connected together, and the width of the gaps was at least five or six meters.

"Fight again!"

"Yes!"

Under Li Xiao's order, the Tiger Army immediately began the last round of dragon artillery salvo bombardment.

The sound of the huge iron bullet crashing and the collapse of the city wall continued into one piece, and on the left side of the entire southern city wall, after this bombardment, there were nearly 20 gaps in the collapsed city wall, large and small, and almost one-third of the city wall area completely collapsed.

At this point in the battle, Li Xiao finally ordered loudly: "The soldiers of the Pingnan Battalion A General Gun and Shield Soldiers obey the order!" Attack from this gap in the city, form a battle formation, rush forward to attack, and divide the rampant post into two parts to cover the flank! ”

"Order!"

Soon, Li Xiaojun's gun and shield battle array, shouting loudly, rushed in a straight line towards the entire western city wall.

And on both sides of the entire battle array, there were rampant sentinels like mecha monsters, divided into two parts, firmly protecting the two wings.

In the face of the Ming infantry rushing like machines, the Spaniards guarding the entrance of the street did not feel trembling, whether they were armed with firearms or spears, they were all terrified.

The garrison officer, Trier, swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, held a sharp sword stained with blood, and stared at the Ming army's gun and shield battle formation that was marching neatly.

At this time, in his mind, it was very strange that he suddenly remembered a sentence from an ancient Roman poet Destheus.

"All joy and enjoyment are just a fleeting light, and only blood and death are the eternity of fate."

Could it be that I am going to die in battle in this far-flung eastern land?

The corners of Terry's mouth twitched slightly, and the expression on his face was extremely strange.

"Your Excellency the garrison officer, now that the Ming army is coming so violently, can our army really continue to fight?" The voice of the adjutant next to him, Rodriguez, sounded low and trembling again. Hearing his words, Trier suddenly felt a pinprick in his heart, and he understood what the real meaning behind his adjutant's words was. He wanted to make himself surrender to the Ming army. This death-fearing ghost wants to let such a distant relative of the royal family as himself, and want these noble Spanish soldiers to surrender to these despicable and hateful yellow-skinned monkeys! Damn, it's really my greatest shame to have an incompetent lieutenant like you! Terrier turned his head away and glared at him fiercely, and for a moment felt the urge to kill him. Rodriguez bowed his head in fear, no longer speaking. However, just as the Ming army was still striding in the distance, a woman's scream came from behind the street guarded by Trier. Oh my God, it's Azusena's voice! Terrier turned his head in surprise to see Azusena running towards him with a crying face. "Azusena, go back quickly, it's too dangerous here!" Trier shouted at her, but Azusena still ran at him. Trier gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers behind him to get out of the way, allowing Azusena to run over. Before Terrier could ask, Azusena threw her arms around him and began to cry loudly. On the tense battlefield, Azusena's actions surprised all the Spanish soldiers around, and many people looked at each other, this, what's going on? Trier tried to push her away, but Azusena held her so tightly that he couldn't break free, and at the same time, a sentence quickly came out of her mouth: "Trier, stop being reckless." Give yourself, and these poor soldiers, a chance to live. "What do you say?! You are simply joking with the honor of the Spanish military! Terrier blushed and pushed her away, his eyes shining fiercely. That's enough! Terry, is it so tempting for you to become a cold corpse? Do you really think that the defenders alone are the opponents of the powerful Chinese outside the city? Could it be that the so-called military reputation must be hopeless in battle in order to be reflected?! If you all die here, then won't we, and the Spanish residents in the city, just let these Chinese slaughter and humiliate?! Azusena didn't give in, her momentum was aggressive, but her eyes were full of pleading. Looking at her pleading appearance, and seeing the gloomy and demoralized Spanish soldiers around her, Trier could hear the collapse and shattering of what he had once been most proud of in his heart. "Do not do this, Trier, and I beg you, that we should no longer despise the most precious life God has given us for the sake of worthless honor and honor. Even if we can't stay in Taiwan anymore, we can go back to the Philippines, we can go back to Spain, and we can live our own happy life together. In Azusena's eyes, two strings of crystal tears fell. Your Excellency, I think Miss Azusena is right when she says that such a mortal battle is pointless. Adjutant Rodriguez lowered his head, and his voice came faintly. Trier hung his head, his gaze glazed over, like a puppet. Then, with a long sigh, he threw away the sword in his hand. "Rodriguez, go and raise the white flag, I, Trier, the Spanish Taiwanese garrison, am willing to surrender to the Ming army."
