Chapter 339: Stupidity

Jiang Feng said these words there with confidence, and the officers and businessmen around him opened their eyes wide at the beginning, and then nodded in agreement.

The Spanish governor's envoys in Luzon had never had the opportunity to receive such treatment since they left Europe, for example, when they conquered Luzon, the reason of the Spanish army was that a native had maliciously scratched their cannons with a spear, and then began to offer compensation, which was naturally not willing to be agreed to, and then the war began.

However, this kind of thing can still be used on the natives, and it is not a good thing to use on themselves, but looking at the artillery on the port and a large number of soldiers in armor, and the cannon giant ships at sea, I have to endure it honestly.

The messenger's reaction was quite quick, and immediately with a smile on his face, he said gently:

"Of course, the sea is turbulent, and it is inevitable that you will have such a situation, General, in this case, your shelling of the port has caused us a lot of losses, isn't it ......"

Before this person could say the word compensation, Jiang Feng slapped the table fiercely, the smile on his face had already turned into anger, and he shouted:

"Our ships originally only entered this port to take shelter from the wind and waves, but you opened fire on us, and we had to fire back in self-defense, and your attack has caused irreversible damage to our ships, and we must pay compensation."

The interpreter who translated for the governor's envoy was also attached to the Spanish colonial army on weekdays, but this time he was already so frightened by Jiang Feng that he couldn't even speak, he just stood up, his knees were weak and he knelt down again, thinking that when he was on land, he had never seen these people in the government have such a style, cold sweat kept coming out of his head, and he was trembling and didn't know what to say.

Jiang Feng was naturally surrounded by translators who knew Spanish, and a Dutch man felt very relieved and translated these words aloud.

The envoy came directly from the Spanish Governor's Palace, and the fort stationed in the port had already been bombarded by Jiang Feng's gunboats, and for a while he was really not sure whether the fort was the first to open fire, so he hurriedly dragged the attaché next to him and asked in a low voice, everyone shook their heads in confusion, and they didn't know much about the situation at that time.

It's just that Jiang Feng's guards were desperately holding back their smiles there, when they were in the port, there was indeed a cannonball falling into the water on the side of the Shunfeng, and the crux of the problem was that the falling water was not fired by the artillery on the shore, but dropped by the sailors on the ship.

As for whether the fort was hit by mistake, it was also an unsolved case later, and the small mystery in the 'expired sea pattern' is generally called the 'misfire mystery'.

There are still negotiations here, but Jiang Feng has already made a plan here, and the soldiers on the shore began to approach the inner city of Manila, at that time, there were less than 2,000 people in Spain, including the families of the army, all of whom lived in the small inner city, in fact, even if it was a small military fortress, the warehouses of important materials were all circled, and there were forts on the walls, but don't underestimate this building that seems to be an earthen wall.

At this time, there were indeed tall and majestic cities in Europe, but how could the Spaniards build them in a place like Luzon, but even this inner city like an earthen enclosure, with artillery, the men in the city mobilized to carry arquebuses and swords.

The local natives are also unable to take it at all, but are often defeated by thousands of people killed by hundreds of people, of course, this also depends on who the opponent is.

After it was completely dark, although negotiations were still going on on the Shunfeng, all the Spaniards outside were back in the inner city, the gate was closed, and the soldiers and the young men inside were mobilized to guard against the other party's attack.

But the Han people they saw in Luzon on weekdays were very docile, and they were even bullied by those natives, how could they have such a majestic army.

According to the pre-agreement, if it was dark and the ships in the sea had not sent any news, then the soldiers on the shore would start to move, and several captains who led the team counted up with each other, and a hundred people returned to the port, and the sailors on the ships also moved.

Shells and ammunition began to be carried ashore, and the Spanish garrison in Luzon was lit with torches, and the direction could be vaguely determined.

The distance between the two sides was not too far, although the four six-pounder guns were said to be six pounder, in fact the weight of the cannons was really not light, and half of the 1,000 soldiers and nearly 200 sailors were mobilized to carry these things, which was the transportation of these things to the shore.

By the time the artillery was brought to shore, it was already dark, and the Spanish people in the inner city could not see the caliber of the artillery at all, but soon they were clear......

After an order, the artillery roared and smashed in the direction of the city gate, in which case it was not hit at all, and the shells whistled and landed on the stone wall and the walkway at the head of the wall, not hurting a single person, but the stone wall had already collapsed.

There was a cry and screaming in the city, these people knew the caliber of the cannonballs, and knew that the cannons outside were much more powerful than the cannons inside.

The envoy of the Spanish governor on the ship was hung there, Jiang Feng and his subordinates went in to eat, and suddenly heard the sound of artillery fire outside, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he rushed out in a hurry, looking in the direction of the city, listening to the panicked shouts faintly coming from there.

The people on the ship were all doing things on their own there, and no one paid attention to them, and the messenger immediately understood that this attack had been arranged a long time ago, and he wanted to go back to protest, but who would pay attention to himself.

The artillery fire was carried out in the second round, and the Spanish governor in the city finally couldn't stand it, since this inexplicable fleet appeared in the ports around Luzon, he had been pressed and beaten here, and now the messenger sent had no news at all, he discussed with the officers of the garrison, and decided to send troops to attack for a while, he still did not believe that there would be a stronger army than Spain in the east.

Listening to the orders and summons in the city, there were also white people in the infantry of the Jiang family's army, and those Dutch people in the past naturally understood more about the drills and military orders of the Spanish army than the soldiers around him.

Hurriedly said:

"Soldiers are being mobilized in the city, ready to go out of the city to fight!"

After hearing this, several captains of the Jiang family army became interested, and immediately raised their hands to stop the shelling, and the artillery on the other side's wall had collapsed under the bombardment, and they could not shoot at all, and several captains began to order the soldiers of the Jiang family army to start the whole team.

The officers wanted to see what the so-called Spanish army was, and after the four six-pounder guns bombarded the wall in front of them for a round, they stopped firing and waited for the other side to appear, and the gates of the small city were opened.

Hundreds of people rushed out of the hula inside, rushing towards the position of the Jiang family army here, and it was the officers of the Jiang family army who were stunned when they saw this posture, they looked at each other, looking at these soldiers on the opposite side of the posture, it seemed that they could not catch up with the bandits in Shandong, the only difference was that these white men who rushed over on the opposite side were holding arquebuses, spears and swords in their hands, and they were wearing armor that looked good.

The brilliant victories of the European colonizers in the Americas and Africa, those battles in which tens and hundreds of thousands of people were defeated, and tens of thousands of people were inseparable from the steel weapons and the good armor and defense of the body, and in many countries in the Americas and Africa, the natives there did not even have metal weapons, and fought against these whites naked, and it is understandable that there was such a huge disparity in victory and defeat.

As for the Southeast Asian region of Asia, the natives here are only at the point of having iron in their hands, and the superior climate makes them have no fighting spirit and courage in it, and the Spanish people are naturally strong and abnormal, but speaking of which, these foreigners are doing business in a fairly regular way whether they are in the Ming Dynasty or in Japan, where there are many warring states, maybe this can explain something.

"Could it be that what Instructor Jason gave us is wrong?"

"Yes, I also feel that something is wrong, you see that those people are running out in a scattered manner, and there is no formation!"

"Is it to hide from our artillery fire?"

Looking at the other party's charge, the officers of the Jiang family army were quite surprised, according to the Jiang family army's combat routine, several huge fires had been lit around the battlefield, and the light on the scene was very good.

The large square team of 400 men pressed forward with the rhythm of the drums, and the Spanish army that rushed out was indeed to avoid the enemy's artillery fire, and they also felt that the Ming Dynasty might have a lot of artillery, but they might not have any advantage in arquebuses and swords.

However, when they saw the square formation on the opposite side with neat steps and slowly pressing over, everyone dispelled this idea in their hearts, this is clearly a large phalanx that only the most elite troops in Spain will appear.

The gunshots rang out intensively, and the white people who rushed out suddenly fell into a ......
