The Ming army's fierce shelling of the castle in Manila not only destroyed a large number of buildings, killed and wounded a large number of Spanish soldiers in the castle, but also killed and injured a large number of indigenous troops on Luzon Island who helped Spain.

These indigenous armies were not really trying to help the Spaniards resist the Ming army, under such heavy artillery fire of the Ming army, these native armies were the first to collapse, and the 20,000 indigenous soldiers, except for those who were killed, all scattered and fled, and no general could control such a situation.

When the Spaniards reacted and prepared to let the indigenous army go to the front line to assist in resisting the attack of the Ming army, there were few indigenous soldiers to be found.

"A bunch of useless scum!" When the Spanish governor of Luzon learned the news, he scolded angrily.

The indigenous army was already unreliable, and it was not surprising that it had collapsed now, and the Spanish governor of Luzon had never put any hope in the midst of those indigenous armies, and it was up to the Spanish soldiers in his hands to hold the castle.

Although the Spanish governor of Luzon had already lost the confidence to defeat the Ming army, he was still a little unwilling to let him surrender like this, at least he had to resist until he could not stop the Ming army from entering the castle.

"Boom, boom, boom" The bombing of the Ming army continued.

The governor of Luzon in Spain was embarrassed to dodge the attack of the cannonballs, desperate at the same time, he was still a little desperate and crazy.

Unlike the madness of the Spanish governor of Luzon, who still wanted to fight, ordinary Spanish soldiers had already lost their morale under the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, and many soldiers hid in the dead corners of the Ming army's artillery fire, their faces were pale and their bodies were trembling.

"Ah" two more Spanish soldiers were killed by shells, and the death was extremely tragic!

Once again, the Spanish soldier who had killed his companion was even more frightened.

The artillery bombardment of the Ming army lasted nearly half an hour, and when more than half of the buildings in Manila were blown up, the Ming army's artillery bombardment stopped, and at this time, it also meant that the Ming army was about to start a large-scale attack.

In the fierce shelling just now, at least 3,000 or more Spanish soldiers were killed and wounded and lost their combat effectiveness, and the remaining 6,000 or so Spanish soldiers who were still fighting were already frightened and stupid, their eyes were full of fear, and they could not see the slightest bit of morale.

"Come out quickly, prepare to resist the Ming army!" The Spanish governor of Luzon was not killed, and the angry organization of terrified soldiers came out to prepare to resist the Ming attack.

Many Spanish soldiers hesitated, and they simply lost the will to continue to resist the Ming army, and they were all frightened by the Ming army's artillery.

After all, the Spanish Empire has been in decline for decades, constantly losing under the attacks of Britain, France and the Netherlands, losing large colonies, and even most of the time even Portugal can't beat it, not unreasonable, the Spanish army has also declined, the will to fight is low, and the casualties are not more than half of the casualties and do not want to resist.

The Spanish governor of Luzon was very angry, the Ming army had not yet officially entered the city, and the soldiers in his city were afraid of the bombing and did not want to resist.

"Bang bang bang" gunshots rang out, and at this time the Ming army finally began its official attack.

The Spanish governor of Luzon was shocked and even more angry and forced the Spanish soldiers in the city to rise up and prepare to resist.

At the forefront of the Ming army's attack, a group of Spanish soldiers were still hiding behind the ruins of the city wall to resist, just now because they were afraid of bombing their own people by mistake, the Ming army artillery battalion did not bomb this place, so none of the Spanish soldiers hiding here were killed.

Now that the Ming army was attacking, they immediately counterattacked.

"Da Da Da"

"Bang bang bang" It's a pity that as soon as they stood up and didn't have time to fire, they were swept away by the dense rifle bullets and machine gun bullets of the Ming army, and they were suppressed in an instant.

A group of Ming soldiers took the opportunity to rush forward quickly, and hundreds of grenades were thrown into the bunkers of the ruins of the city wall in front of them.

"Boom boom" grenades exploded intensively.

"Ahh

Although the power of a grenade is not as great as that of a cannonball, hundreds of grenades explode in a small place at the same time are also deadly.

This batch of grenades had just been blown up, and the Ming soldiers followed suit and threw another batch of grenades, also more than 100.

Another round of dense grenade explosions, flames, rubble and dust filled the air.

After two rounds of grenades, the hundreds of Spanish soldiers hiding behind the ruins of the frontline were almost completely emptied.

"Attack!"

The soldiers of the Ming army began to form a small formation of ten or twenty people one after another, and slowly attacked and advanced towards the already ruined Manila Citadel.

"Bang Bang Bang" met the Spanish soldiers, and the Ming soldiers decisively opened fire.

"Poof! Burst! "The bullet penetrated the bodies of the Spanish soldiers, pierced the bloody mist through their backs, and the bodies fell!

The Ming soldiers advanced rapidly, and the Spanish soldiers retreated one after another, not only because they thought that the muskets in their hands were not as powerful as the rifles of the Ming army, but more importantly, the morale of the Spanish soldiers had been completely lost.

Even if there were no completely collapsed buildings for them to hide from and fight with the Ming army, so that they could kill and injure the Ming army, they did not resist, but just blindly retreated backwards.

"No retreat, no retreat!" The Spanish governor of Luzon roared angrily in the rear, trying to stop the continuous defeat of the Spanish army, and forcibly ordered them to engage the Ming army and resist the Ming army.

However, it is a pity that the Spanish soldiers, full of fear, did not listen to him at all, and continued to retreat.

"Hurry up!" With Yan Yingyuan's order came.

The soldiers of the Ming army changed from the slow advance just now to the rapid advance.

I saw a group of 20 Ming soldiers rushing forward quickly for more than ten meters before they suddenly stopped and opened fire on the Spanish soldiers who were constantly retreating in front of them.

Four Spanish soldiers were killed in an instant.

The other Ming soldiers did the same, rushing forward a few meters, or a dozen meters, before stopping to shoot once.

The Ming army's sudden brisk attack caught the Spanish soldiers off guard, and many Spanish soldiers were shot dead in this wave of sudden brisk attacks.

Such an attack was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The Spanish soldiers had no morale, the will to resist was very low, and they were suddenly caught off guard by the Ming army, seeing that many of their companions in front of them fell under such an attack by the Ming army, the fear in the hearts of the Spanish soldiers was even greater, and the gray faces turned around and ran, and the Ming soldiers attacked many pieces, and they ran faster than the Ming soldiers.

"Don't run! Don't run! The governor of Luzon in Spain roared angrily, but he couldn't get the soldiers to rush forward again and fight with the Ming army, and the more he roared, the more desperate he became.

"It's over, it's over!" Seeing the unstoppable defeat of his subordinate soldiers, the Spanish governor of Luzon was desperate and powerless!

Twenty years as governor of Luzon, twenty years! He had resisted the Dutch, defeated the Portuguese, and it was not easy to keep the colony for the Empire.

Now, under the attack of the Ming Dynasty, he also wanted to desperately keep this colony, but he worked hard, tried his best to resist the attack of the Ming army, and tried all means, but it didn't have much effect, and the Ming army couldn't stop it!

This is not a level of strength at all, when he was at war with the Dutch, he was confident that he would defeat the Dutch and fight with the Portuguese, he didn't take the Portuguese in his eyes at all, but when he fought with the Ming army, no matter how hard he tried, the Ming army still showed overwhelming strength that made him feel extremely powerless!

At this time, the governor of Luzon in Spain no longer thought about ordering his soldiers with any cruel orders, because he knew that the outcome could not be changed.

The Spanish governor of Luzon sat down on the ground and did not flee with the soldiers, he was completely desperate.

If you want to say that the governor of the various Spanish colonies, the governor of Luzon is extremely good, and it is because of him in history that Spain was able to keep the colonists of Luzon Island to the end, and it is the longest preserved colony in Spanish history.

It's a pity that now it's different from history, and he met the re-emerging Da Ming.

After a while, a group of Ming soldiers rushed up and surrounded the Spanish governor of Luzon, who was sitting on the ground.

The Spanish governor of Luzon allowed the Ming soldiers to capture him.

"Keep chasing the other Spanish soldiers!" The general of the Ming army glanced at the governor of Luzon in Spain with a smile, and then ordered the soldiers beside him.

The Ming soldiers continued to pursue the Spanish soldiers who had fled backwards.

It is impossible for the Spanish soldiers to have war horses, so they can only flee on foot, and the Ming soldiers are also on foot, but when the Ming soldiers are trained, there is often a cross-country item, and the Spanish soldiers who flee cannot fall off the pursuing Ming soldiers.

In addition to pursuing and capturing the Spanish soldiers, the 20,000 indigenous troops that had been defeated earlier could not escape the fate of being shot or captured after being caught up by the Ming army.

The Spanish soldiers fled Manila, and the Ming army pursued Manila.

The hunt lasted a whole day, until all the Spanish soldiers were captured or killed.

With the complete occupation of Manila by the Ming army, in addition to more than 3,000 Spanish soldiers killed and more than 1,000 killed, more than 5,000 were captured by the Ming army, and 8,000 were captured by the Ming army.

In the First Battle of Luzon, the Ming army not only annihilated all the Spanish soldiers on the island, but also most of the indigenous army on the island.

The Spanish governor of Luzon was captured by the Ming army.

After capturing Manila, Yan Yingyuan divided his forces to occupy some of the island's main castles, and at the same time sent a message back to the Ming Dynasty, asking the Ming to send officials and garrisons not to the island to take over the island's defenses.
