The Hongmen people no longer left their hands, it was bad news for the Spaniards, for two consecutive days Hongmen bombed without sparing ammunition, not a single siege operation was launched, it seems that Hongmen planned to rely on artillery to directly raze the Manila Castle to the ground.

The loss of manpower in the castle is not heavy, the original Manila castle is not wide enough, so thousands of people gathered in this castle, bombarded by continuous, powerful artillery, it can be said that it is knocked to death, the collision will be crippled, nearly a thousand people were directly damaged in the two days of cannon fodder.

Even Colonel Diego himself was nearly hit by a shell, and one of their former headquarters headquarters was blown into ruins and had to be moved to another fortified stone fort.

Colonel Diego has the backbone of a soldier as a soldier, but less than half of the soldiers under his command are really soldiers, and even their soldiers may not be able to maintain a normal mentality in this fierce artillery fire, let alone the other soldiers who have been improvised and put together, all of them are already disheartened and unorthodox.

The excitement at the bottom made Diego have to start thinking about his next plan of action.

Another five days passed, and Hongmen used artillery fire and feints to attack the Manila Castle from morning to night, and then from night to morning, constantly harassing and attacking the Manila Castle, and from time to time a large-scale siege operation came, so that the defenders of the Manila Castle were all tired and in a trance.

For Hongmen, the time is almost up, it is the time for them to officially start the general attack on the capital, after another routine bombardment during the day that day, the siege team of Hongmen led by Lu Yu at night with a scale of 1,000 people officially began to act.

From the beginning of Li Tianyang's general attack order, Lu Yu's whole person was in a state of intense excitement, and the hatred buried in his heart for many years was thought to be impossible to hate, but who would have thought that this day would finally become a reality, how can you let a person who is full of hatred and anger not get excited and excited!

There were dozens of teenagers who fled out of Luzon with him, and there are fewer than a few people who can still follow him now.

In order to avenge this time, not only did Lu Yu take the initiative to stand up and ask for war on Dayuan Island, but even the remnants of the former Luzon Ming Dynasty who followed him to Hongmen and are now in important positions also asked for various connections and took the southward fleet this time.

Several of them fought for family feuds, in order to encourage everyone to fight bravely to kill the enemy, Lu Qi and others never hid the secrets of these years, and revealed their gentlemanly origins to their henchmen, so that Hongmen and their soldiers were all excited and their morale was boiling.

At three o'clock that night, the defenders of Manila, who had been overwhelmed by the continuous offensive of the Hongmen, finally had a rare opportunity to rest, and in a sudden huge roar, the noisy shouts of killing poured into the city from outside the city.

In the early days of artillery bombardment, the south and east gates of Manila Castle have always been the focus of the Hongmen artillery fire, so in fact, these two gates were already crumbling a few days ago, and could only be supported by the earthen wall piled up with burlap bags behind the city gates.

When the Hongmen soldiers used the night as a cover, taking advantage of the gradual relaxation of the guards in the Manila Castle, they quietly transported the black powder under the city gate, and then detonated it in one fell swoop, as expected, directly opened the communication channel between the Manila Castle and the outside of the city.

"What's the situation??"

Colonel Diego had just been lying in bed for less than a quarter of an hour when he was woken up by the sudden explosion outside the city, and when he heard the sound of shouts of killing in and out of the city at the same time, he had a bad premonition and hurriedly called someone in to inquire about the situation outside.

"The Hongmen people suddenly attacked the city, and they have opened the east and south gates, and they are constantly killing in!"

A Spanish soldier rushed in and reported to Colonel Diego in a panic.

"Bastard!!"

Colonel Diego's face turned pale, and after swearing a swear word, he quickly put on the uniform he had just taken off and said, "Organize the manpower to block the Hongmen people's team near the east and south city gates!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers were ordered to leave, but the second generation was desolate, and the days of fighting gave the second generation a deeper understanding of the Hongmen, an army unlike any civilization they had ever fought before.

With strong ships and sharp guns, their Spaniards have been invincible in their exploration of the New World over the years, conquering civilizations with completely different customs and human feelings, even in the early friction with the Ming Dynasty, they are also in the upper hand.

But with the rise of Hongmen, especially in this real battle with Hongmenren, Colonel Diego discovered that there was a civilization that was even more advanced than the Europeans in terms of tactics using firearms.

Thinking that their advanced technology would be surpassed by others was a fear for their soldiers, Colonel Diego even feared that the Hongmen would march westward in search of their Europeans' nests and ravage the lands of their kingdom.

The more he came into contact with the Ming people, the more Colonel Diego understood what a powerful kingdom the Ming Dynasty was.

In Europe, the most prosperous French capital Paris, with a population of no more than a few hundred thousand people, and in the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of people were countless, and the royal capital of the Ming Dynasty, Jingshi, had a population of millions, more than the total population of the average European kingdom.

A large population base means that they have a deeper potential to recruit more soldiers for their own use.

The reason why the Spaniards were so small in the Far East was not because their kingdom was not very populous, and after having countless colonies in the New World of America, Africa and other places, there were not many people in their kingdom who were willing to venture into the sea.

In fact, Colonel Diego knew that the failure of the city gate actually meant that it was a matter of time before their Manila castle was occupied by the Hong Gate, and their Spaniards continued to resist stubbornly, just to add some casualties to the Hong Men.

However, as a professional soldier, Colonel Diego did not have the idea of surrendering in her heart, and she preferred to be loyal to the cause of the Spanish Kingdom and die on the battlefield to make up for his dereliction of duty in defending the territory.

But in reality, his desire to die on the battlefield will have to be interrupted.

"I order, everyone to give up resistance, surrender to the Hongmen, send people to negotiate, and say that I Salamanca is a Spanish nobleman"
