After Zhang Hai saw the success of the explosion, he sent a message to the landing fleet anchored twenty miles away, and at this time, Fu Wenlong and Wang Jinbao, who were on the ship, had already received good news, the Spanish ships were all sunk, and the remaining ships were fighting with Zhang Hai.

Fu Wenlong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Wang Jinbao: "Division Commander Wang, Admiral Zhang's side is going well, the next step depends on what your army will do, you won't let the navy surpass, right?" ”

Hearing Fu Wenlong say this, Wang Jinbao shouted: "Don't worry, Lord Governor, it must be our army that will solve the battle in the end, can their navy drive to land?" The subordinates asked to land now and start the assault on Manila! ”

"Okay, come on, give the order to go down, immediately dock and put down the soldiers of the army!" The heralds from outside went down to convey the Governor's orders.

Wang Jinbao's convoy arrived in the middle of the night to wait for orders 10 miles outside Manila Bay, where there is a small fishing village, which is a local native's village. Wang Jinbao knew that these people knew the methods of the local natives to treat the Han people, so he had already sent a company of soldiers ashore last night and quietly solved everyone in this small fishing village.

The entire fleet of 20 seagoing ships, after receiving the military order, the army soldiers on board began to disembark in an orderly manner under the organization of the junior officers.

Zhao Hu is also in this team now, and after more than a year of training, Zhao Hu has fully adapted to the hot climate of Southeast Asia. At this time, he had accumulated merit and was promoted to platoon commander, and he also had 30 men and horses under him. The climate in Southeast Asia is hot, and Zhao Hu is sweating profusely, but his military uniform is still very upright. Hearing the battalion commander's order to land with the governor, Zhao Hu led his soldiers to wait to get off the ship.

Wang Jinbao brought a total of 8,000 men and horses this time, leaving 2,000 guards in Tortoiseshell Harbor. All the heavy equipment was brought, a total of 160 guns, all of which had to be hoisted down from the ship, and the work intensity was very high, fortunately, Wang Jinbao had people go ashore to build a few simple trestle bridges at the latest, plus there were no two booms on the ship, but it took three hours for all the guns to be unloaded.

The guide brought by the tortoiseshell port learned that this place is still fifteen miles away from Manila, which is not far, but fortunately, the Spaniards have built a simple path by the sea, which can be followed all the way to the bottom of Manila.

It took a long time from the beginning of going ashore to the unloading of all the equipment, Wang Jinbao looked at the day, it was almost noon, and he didn't know what was going on on the side of the naval battle?

"Quick, speed up and get to Manila before dark!"

At this time, the naval battle was nearing its end, and the Spanish ships were no match for Zhang Hai in the naval battle. The speed is inferior to the people, the firepower is not as good as the people, and the equipment is not as good as the people, and this battle cannot be fought.

The age of the ship on Zhang Hai's side is very new, and the sailors have fully adapted to the equipment after this lot of running-in, so the Spanish side is not superior in all aspects except for numbers.

Zhang Hai's flagship "Canton" was not inferior to the Spanish capital ship in terms of tonnage, with 96 guns on board and more than 500 sailors. At a distance of five hundred meters, twenty-four pounder naval heavy guns could fully exert their firepower, and every shot could cause damage on the Spanish fleet.

Now the Spanish fleet was left with only six 500-ton warships, and the rest were either sunk by mines or lost power by artillery bombardment, and were fighting in the bay. The whole bay was filled with firelight, and the sea was filled with dead and alive sailors.

Seeing that there was really no hope of victory, the remaining Spanish warships all retreated to the fire circle of the shore guns, seeking the protection of the shore guns.

Shore artillery and naval artillery are not the same. In order to ensure the reloading speed, the naval gun has a relatively short barrel, so the firing range is relatively short, but the shore gun does not have this disadvantage. There is no need to move on the shore, weight is not a problem, and the range can be guaranteed to the maximum. Therefore, the range of shore artillery in this era was three to four miles away.

Zhang Hai's navy's most powerful artillery was a twenty-four-pounder gun, and with the help of new gunpowder, the firing range could reach four miles, but the accuracy could not be guaranteed.

Seeing that the Spanish Navy had retreated to the shore, Zhang Hai had no choice but to order the heavy artillery to return fire at the batteries on the shore. There is no guarantee of accuracy, just a reminder of the Spaniards' presence.

Zhang Hai looked at the sky, it was already afternoon. "Wang Jinbao, they landlubbers don't know where they are?"

At this time, in the north of Manila, outside the city of Barjan District, there was a two-story watchtower made of masonry. This is the outpost of Manila City, the massacre half a year ago was burned by the natives, and now one or two Chinese bones can still be seen in the rubble from time to time.

There was a platoon of Spanish soldiers at the outpost, but instead of paying attention to the outside of the city, they were looking into the bay. Now that the fighting in the bay was coming to an end, the Spanish warships were cowering in the harbor, barely gasping for their shore guns. The soldiers at the outpost were angry when they saw their warship like this.

"Captain, these shameless Chinese pirates, don't they have a bit of naval dignity?"

The platoon commander, Captain Diego, was also angry, "The Chinese are like this, they only dare to sneak up on sneak attacks, and they want to be the same as the despicable Britain!" ”

The soldiers were all watching the excitement, and no one noticed that a team of 8,000 people had come from the woods outside the city, which was the arrival of Wang Jinbao's army.

Wang Jinbao stood outside the team and looked at Manila, a mile away. This place is about the same size as the previous province in Chinese mainland. At the time of the Han Chinese, there were 70,000 or 80,000 people, but now most of the Han people have been killed, and there are only about 30,000 natives and more than 10,000 Spaniards in the city.

In Manila, only the Spanish lived inside the city walls, and both the indigenous and Han Chinese lived outside the city. Wang Jinbao looked at the towering Governor's Mansion in the distance, this battle should not be difficult to fight. There were only a few Spanish outposts outside the city, and if you took them away, you could drive straight in.

Wang Jinbao said to Ma Kun behind him: "Let's start, knock out this outpost first, and then attack their city gate." When they entered, they were all killed. ”

Ma Kun agreed and began to prepare.

At this time, Captain Diego was cheering up for his warship, and suddenly found countless soldiers rushing out of the woods outside the city, all wearing red clothes and blue pants. Captain Diego was shocked, when did the British come to Manila? Could it be that the Chinese pirates in the bay were pretended to be British?

Surprised to surprised, Captain Diego hurriedly organized his soldiers to start shooting to prevent the British from outside the city from entering the city of Manila.

After getting closer, Captain Diego finally found out that these people were not British, they were not as tall as the British, obviously Chinese, but I didn't expect the Chinese to come here, could it be the army of the Ming Kingdom?
