Zhang Jiayu, as the governor of Liangguang, only brought soldiers and horses from Guangdong, because of the rush of time, there was no extra time for him to gather too many soldiers and horses.

These soldiers were all soldiers on the seaside, and there were very few seasickness, and when they reached the shore, the hatch opened and they walked out of the boat in an orderly manner.

The Spanish foot soldiers, once dominated the entire European continent with the Spanish phalanx. Twenty-five percent pikemen, paired with seventy-five percent musketeers, how to say, is a simplified version of the Mandarin Duck Formation...

On the battlefield, the spearmen were lined up in three dense columns, each with 50 to 60 men in front and 20 columns in depth. On the four corners were arquebus soldiers lined up in dense squares. This sturdy and maneuverable dense formation has a width of about 150 meters and a depth of 100 meters. On each of the four sides of the phalanx were lined up with arquebusier soldiers, and a separate detachment was sent to engage in skirmishes.

The Spanish phalanx, using the power of firearms and the left-stabbing tactics of pikemen, sent the traditional cold-weapon army into the dustbin of history, and the whole of Europe accelerated the popularization of muskets in their own armies.

This phalanx made Spain proud a hundred years ago, and like this declining empire, this phalanx was beaten by the Swedes in Europe and ruthlessly trampled by France. Now he is about to usher in a new round of friction, the mandarin duck array from the east.

After several battle formations, the Spaniards reluctantly found that their infantry was far behind the sailors. Leaving behind hundreds of corpses, they fled back to Manila.

Hou Xuanyan once confidently told a group of soldiers that the Mandarin Duck Formation left by Qi Jiguang could not only be used in the Northern Expedition, but we could also use him to win a hundred consecutive years!

Therefore, the six lecture halls in Jinling, Changsha, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, and Chengdu were sent to the most outstanding instructors and veterans with the most experience in the battle formation, and 10,000 soldiers and horses were transferred for their drills, improving the former mandarin duck formation.

After the landing on Luzon, the ordinary small city could not stop nearly 100,000 Cantonese soldiers, and it took less than three days for Zhang Jiayu to sweep the towns on the outskirts of Manila and surround the city of Manila.

The war horses brought by the fast horse ship also regained their vitality after a few days of rest. The Spaniards on the island, unable to stop the advance of the Chinese army, had to hold on to the royal city of Manila to make a final resistance. As for the natives outside, they can't control so much.

The Chinese, who have been oppressed and resisted, finally waited for Wang Shi.

No one can understand their mood at the moment, just like a bullied single parent student, suddenly one day a powerful and wealthy man comes and tells him that the child is your father, and you will not be bullied again.

On the outskirts of Manila, Luzon, there is a village inhabited by Chinese, who were originally very wealthy, but after several massacres, they became impoverished and had to fight against the bullying of the natives and Spaniards. The 100 people who knelt on the ground in Fujian to petition were their representatives, and many of them had already returned to Luzon, ready to make some contributions to the king together with their relatives.

The Chinese in Luzon, from the elderly to the children, as long as they were men, brandished rudimentary weapons and rushed out of their homes. Some of them were carrying hoes, some were carrying axes, and some were even carrying sticks.

With the help of the Cantonese soldiers, the liquidation began ...

The Chinese in Luzon were not lacking in blood, and they repeatedly rebelled during the Spanish colonial rule. Now that he has a backer, his own people have been killed on this island, and the humiliation and resentment of nearly a hundred years have exploded at this moment.

"It is difficult for foreign Yi to have a friendly heart, and China does not leave overnight hatred." Hou Xuanyan's holy purpose in Luzon has become a classic that everyone can memorize, just like the Bible is to Christians, who enshrine Hou Xuanyan's holy decree as an article of faith.

The natives who had slaughtered the Chinese were duly punished, and the population of more than 7 million in Luzon during this period was sharply reduced by 30%...

In the dilapidated town, the blood was shining and the smell was fishy, and Zhang Jiayu looked at the corpses everywhere with some displeasure. In his heart, he was quite dissatisfied with this barbaric revenge, isn't it the same as the natives and foreign chiefs, but the order of revenge was given by His Majesty personally, and Zhang Jiayu chose to act on orders.

Rather than retaliating against the natives, Zhang Jiayu was more concerned about how to break through the royal city of Manila.

His subordinates were soldiers from the Central Plains Dynasty, and they were born with experience in besieging and defending cities, and Zhang Jiayu could take Manila without much effort. But in that case, it will inevitably need a flood of cannonballs to attack the city, and a good city will be used as the government of the Chinese Dynasty in the future, and if it is blown up, it will not be rebuilt.

In the royal city of Manila, the remaining Spaniards trembled, already sensing the end of the world.

The Chinese outside are a combat force they have never seen before, such combat power is enough to beat any European powerhouse, and it is said that this is not their strongest soldier.

Oquado was like a drunken gambler who, when he lost his last pair of pants, yelled in frustration, "Damn it! Damn intelligence! Damn spies! Those liars, who were busy with lies, swore to me in the name of the Lord that a million soldiers of the Chinese dynasty were now fighting a decisive battle against the notorious Cossacks on the northern border. Can anyone tell me where these people came from, and are these damned warships a gift from Satan to the Emperor of the Chinese Dynasty? ”

Thinking of the fire-breathing giant ship, everyone in the hall still had a chill on the back of their necks, and they couldn't imagine any other words to describe it except for the sea monster.

Louis. Egger spread his hands helplessly, "Dear Governor, I think we have only one last way left, and we can only use this last resort. ”

Diego's eyes flashed, and he immediately asked, "How?" What else can we do? Speak up. ”

"It's surrender, my lordship—" Egger made no secret of his disdain, the duke from his homeland, who had shown his incompetence and cowardice in this war.

"Surrender? Absolutely not! It's rare for Diego to be so tough, but the next words make people want to blow his head off: "My silver ship is still in Manila, and surrendering at this time will cause the entire empire to lose a lot." ”

I can't save my life, who cares if you suffer heavy losses or not, the people present are surprisingly tacit and choose to collectively ignore this stupid aristocrat.

Oquado stood up, leaned on the table, and said in a low tone: "Okay, friends, I now order you, in my capacity as the commander of the Spanish Far East, to restrain all your subordinates and give up useless resistance. Now, I will walk out of Manila and surrender to the Chinese commander-in-chief. ”
