In the Tang army's formation, almost everyone could hear that the three huge black cannonballs made three dull thumping sounds when they hit the wall of the bamboo and wood village a thousand meters away.

Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Next, they all saw that the wall of the Turen village on the opposite side collapsed instantly like magic, and the bamboo and wood fragments were scattered and cracked like firecrackers, and the gap reached more than ten meters wide!

The power of this heavy dragon cannon is truly amazing!

Of course, such a heavy dragon cannon that can collapse such a strong city as Jinzhou and Fuzhou, and use it to bombard such a bamboo and wood wall, in fact, it has the feeling of killing chickens with a knife.

The natives guarding the wall with bows, arrows, and bamboo guns were quickly thrown into the air like scraps of paper, and then they fell down screaming, falling to their deaths on the muddy ground.

Seeing such a miserable situation of the natives on the other side, Zu Kuan slapped his legs and laughed, laughing badly.

"Into his mother, bomb again, bomb hard, bomb the gap again, let's rush in and slaughter such a turtle grandson!"

"Order!"

Three heavy dragon strikers, hurriedly began to clean the barrels and adjust the corners of the guns in order to reload the powder packs.

At this moment, the Tang army saw that the natives in the opposite stockade opened the gate with a bang, and these half-naked and dark-skinned natives, holding all kinds of rudimentary weapons, shouted loudly, and made strange and incomprehensible whistling sounds in their mouths, rushing towards the Tang army in a neat array!

These natives, both men and women, were all painted with colorful paints on their faces, and wore ornaments made of branches on their heads, and they rushed towards the Tang army with a hideous face, and there were as many as six or seven hundred people!

", such a guy still has brains, instead of being slaughtered by our army, it is better to rush out and fight to the death."

Zu Kuan sneered loudly, and then straightened his face and said loudly: "General Chuanben's order, the artillery men quickly retreated, the spear and shield battle array went straight forward, and the Flying Harrier cavalry was divided into two parts, outflanked behind the natives, and charged the enemy army on their backs, so that all the natives must be wiped out!" ”

"Order!" Zu Kuan's order was quickly executed by his subordinate Tang Army. Dozens of artillery men hurriedly retreated, while the soldiers of the first battalion and the third general armor of the first battalion of Napingnan Town were arranged in a long snake spear and shield battle formation, like a neat and rigorous machine, rushing towards the natives who were roaring at each other, and rushed away with a neat pace. At the same time, the 100 Flying Harrier cavalry, divided into two parts of 50 horsemen on the left and right, let out a loud scream from their mouths, bypassed both ends of the spear and shield battle array, and prepared to join forces to charge the natives on their cavalry back. Soon, the Tang army's spear and shield battle array, and the natives of nearly 700 people, collided fiercely. The shield soldiers in the front row collided fiercely with the natives who were rushing straight ahead. About dozens of natives couldn't dodge, and were immediately pierced by the two rows of steel spikes on the big shield, and after struggling and twitching a few times, they quickly lost their breath. "Bang!" The platoon of shield soldiers in front of them struck a blow and immediately lowered their shields to the ground, forming a row of straight and tight shield defenses. At the same time, the back row of spearmen immediately used the 4-meter spear with a three-edged steel spear head, which had long been full of hatred and strength in their hands, to use all their strength to fiercely stab the native troops who could not contain their feet. Suddenly, the 4-meter spears that pierced with all their might, like poisonous dragons flying over, flew out from the top of the shield with a cruel smile, and in an instant, countless natives, or on their faces, necks, or chests, immediately gushed blood, and fell to the ground with a wail. "Brothers, try your best to kill, you can't miss the credit you have received! These locals are simply delivering food to us! "The third class leader of the seventh team of the first battalion and the third team of the first sentry is strong and strong, and while stabbing and killing the natives who keep coming, he loudly cheers up his own soldiers next to him. His high-pitched shouts made his soldiers even more high-spirited and murderous. Gou Dazhuang was right, these natives rushing in like a swarm were indeed just delivering food to the Tang Army's spear and shield battle array, which was like a killing machine. As one 4-meter stainless steel spear after another stabbed out, one after another natives screamed and fell to the ground and died. Their corpses, along the big shield of the Tang army, lined up in a straight line made of corpses stacked on top of each other. Although these natives are high-spirited and fearless of death, but they are extremely lacking in organization, and their weapons and equipment are not worth mentioning, they are simply vulnerable in front of this battle-hardened and brave Tang army. It can even be said that this was not a battle at all, but a massacre. At this time, the Flying Harrier cavalry, which quickly bypassed both ends of the spear and shield battle array, lined up in a wall-like array, and rushed towards the back of the native troops in pursuit of maximum damage. The natives, who had been struggling to support themselves, collapsed immediately. They wailed and wept, they had no concept of surrender at all, and they only wanted to break through and flee for their lives. It was a pity that they rushed left and right in the encirclement of the Tang army, but they couldn't escape at all, and finally the red-eyed Tang soldiers were all killed. In this battle, nearly 700 natives were all killed, and in the Tang army, only three were killed and six were wounded. After this almost slaughter-like battle, the red blood soaked the dense and lush grass. The original blue-green weeds were dyed into a shocking dark brown, and the corpses of the natives everywhere were stacked in a mess, which was shocking at a glance. There was suddenly so much blood and corpses on this meadow, which immediately attracted a large number of flies, and these flies were so numerous that they almost formed a gray-black mist, which surrounded those corpses densely. At the same time, countless grasshoppers also came out of the meadow, and these dark red blood-sucking things were also densely surrounding the corpses of those natives, as if they were competing with the flies flying in the sky. In the distant pond, several crocodiles, attracted by the strong smell of blood, swayed their long bodies and crawled quickly towards these corpses, too, to share this delicious meal that fell from the sky. At this time, the Tang army did not have time to immediately dispose of these corpses. With Zu Kuan's order, the Tang soldiers shouted loudly and rushed to the stockade that had opened the door. Because of the desperate resistance of these natives, they naturally lost their chance to live. Since he insisted on fighting to the end, Tang Jun was ruthless. In the midst of the screams and wails, the remnants of the old and weak in the stockade were all killed by the Tang army, and the entire large stockade of more than 1,000 people was slaughtered by the devilish Tang army, and there was no left. After transporting piles of grain from the stockade and carefully searching for the gold and silver ornaments and other items in the stockade, the Tang army threw the corpses of the natives outside back into the stockade, and then set a fire to burn the entire stockade and the corpses. The horse stepped on the golden pedal, and the people played a triumphant song. The victorious soldiers who led the singing all the way back to Zukuan on the coast, the smile on his face was brighter than the sun. He suddenly found that such a serious asymmetry, which can be said to be a battle like an adult bullying a child, can also give himself great pleasure. It even seems to be more than the feeling of winning in the previous fight. After the whole army returned to the coast in triumph, the commander-in-chief Li Dingguo was also very happy, and immediately rewarded the meritorious soldiers according to the statistics of the Supervision and Governor's Department. During the battle, the armor chief Gou Dazhuang, who had stabbed and killed the entire five natives, carefully carried the five golden dollars that had been awarded into his arms, and was very happy in his heart. This kind of gold dollar issued by the Bank of China, beautiful in shape, shining gold, is the main currency in circulation of the land under Li Xiao's rule, the market value is equivalent to the original 1 tael of silver, can be exchanged for 10 silver dollars, or 1,000 copper dollars. Gou Dazhuang has already thought about it, and now in the Tang Army, he basically doesn't have to spend a penny on food, drink and clothing, and he also has a monthly salary every month. Therefore, all this money can be saved up for a good life, and it can be used to marry a wife and buy a house in the future. In the second half of his life, he will never worry about it again. Gou Dazhuang fell in love with the daughter of an immigrant family from Guangdong, not far from their training ground in Kaohsiung, whose dark-skinned and high-cheekbones girl was very quick and seemed to have a good impression of herself. Gou Dazhuang had already calculated, and as soon as the fighting in the Philippines was over and he returned to Taiwan, he would go to her house to propose marriage. Gou Dazhuang believes that if he takes out the money he has accumulated at that time, he will definitely be able to move the girl's parents smoothly. As for whether to settle in Taiwan or settle in the newly occupied Luzon after getting married in the future, Gou Dazhuang has not yet thought about it. However, it is always good to have money with you, after all, no matter where you live, you need to spend money. Thinking that I have been living in Liaodong, I would come all the way to this remote and wild Taiwan or Luzon, settle down here, multiply, and be strong in my heart, I can't help but sigh non-stop. Gou Dazhuang suddenly found that he seemed to have never been as hopeful about his future life as he is now. After the Tang army ferociously killed the largest local natives in the village, no natives dared to attack and disturb the Tang army, so the Tang army rested very peacefully on the coast that night. The barbarians have been afraid of power and virtue since ancient times, and here again, it has been reflected. In the early morning of the next day, the Tang army, which had rested all night, immediately set out of camp, and the whole army went straight south to attack the city of Laoag. The city of Laoag was the most important stronghold of the Spaniards in the northwestern part of Luzon, with 300 Spanish soldiers and up to 1,000 native servants. This Laoag city is an important city that the Tang army must capture. For, if the whole city of Laoag were to be occupied, then the entire area from the Cordillera Mountains to the northwest coast of Luzon would be completely defended by the Don Army without the Spanish defense. When the Tang army was still more than ten miles away from the city of Laoag, the watchtower on the north side arranged by the city of Laoag had already rushed to report the news of the Tang army's attack all the way into the city of Laoag, and reported it to the Spanish major Gonzalez. Major Gonzalez, who was leisurely drinking a little wine, was shocked to the point of almost disbelief when he heard the news. "Do you see clearly? Is it really the Tang Army? How did they come to Luzon? Didn't they sign an armistice with us in Taiwan back then?! Gonzalez's roar echoed around the office for a long time. Mr. Major, we are not mistaken, it is indeed the Tang Army who came, and they are carrying countless Tang character military flags, which can be seen clearly below. Now these Tang troops are marching rapidly towards our city of Laoag. The sentinel who reported the news hurriedly replied: "As for why they came to Luzon and when they came, I don't know that below." Gonzalez slammed the table in a rage and muttered to himself with a hideous face, "Damn! These yellow-skinned monkeys must have torn up the treaty and taken the initiative to cross the sea to attack the Philippines, the Far Eastern territory of our Spanish Empire! Hmph, these yellow-skinned monkeys, like the cunning and greedy Berbers in West Africa, are completely untrustworthy people, and they are all disgusting pigs who should be cut with a thousand cuts! "Mr. Major, the Tang army has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, nearly ten times the number of our defenders, can our army hold this Laoag city?" The sentry blinked, asking Gonzalez a quick question. "Is there any way out for our army?! I tell you, if we lose such an easily defended city, and even if we all flee back to Manila unscathed, Governor López will shoot me mercilessly! Windzales paced back and forth in the office like an enraged beast. He stood still, looked out the window, and muttered, "Have you forgotten how the Taiwanese garrison officer Trier was killed in Manila Prison after losing Taipei?" As a cousin of Emperor Philip IV, Trier could not escape death, not to mention those of us who are ordinary people, if we lose the city, it will definitely die! "What do you mean, Mr. Major, ......" "Send someone to Manila quickly and ask for reinforcements." Gonzalez yelled urgently, "Then, let's hurry up here and hold out until reinforcements from Manila arrive." The sentry brushed his legs together, gave Gonzalez a standard military salute, and hurried out to give the order. Gonzalez slammed the table again in a rage, and ordered the guards to put on his armor immediately. Soon, Gonzalez, with the assistance of his soldiers, put on his dark yellow military uniform, his curved steel helmet, his fitted cuirass, his knee-high leather boots, and his slender Spanish sword at his waist, hurried out of the mansion with the guards to inspect the city walls. Gonzalez shouted loudly on the city wall, ordering his men to set up their defenses, and those who made the slightest mistake were punched and kicked by him. Forced by his obscenity, all the defenders of the city, in a panicked atmosphere, finally arranged the city wall defense according to his requirements. "Mr. Major, look, the Don army has emerged from the valley in the north!" Gonzalez followed the guard's hand and could clearly see that in a valley three miles away, as if by magic, a large group of Tang soldiers and horses poured out, and they walked briskly along the road into the city, all the way to the city of Laoag.
