Chapter 510: The Nature of a Robber

The gunners at the head of the city also sensed the danger and moved quickly. While reloading the artillery, the distance of the shelling is measured again.

At this time, the gunners of the Changxing Army were prepared and ignited the artillery under the eager eyes of the maritime merchants. The cannonballs, propelled by gunpowder, quickly hit the city wall two and a half miles away.

In the distance, at the head of Manila, a large cloud of smoke and dust rose up. The masonry and rubble fell, and a large chunk of it was knocked off by the heavy artillery.

One of the cannons above also flew up under the shelling, and the walls shook like an earthquake, so frightened that the gunners who were preparing to shoot fell to the ground.

The power of the 24-pounder gun was undoubtedly displayed at this moment, and the gunners, who were still in a hurry, suddenly became nervous. Many people's legs trembled involuntarily and their movements became sluggish.

But the nightmare was far from over, and the second gun also fired shells. The same boss was laid on the walls of Manila, and the panicked Ganlas were even more frightened.

They pushed the loaded artillery to the battlements and opened fire on the Changxing army under the city. Immediately the shells hit again, and the soldiers of the Changxing Army did not look up at all, still preparing for the next round of shelling. Meng Fanrui and the maritime merchants did not flee and helped push the artillery back into place.

This level of artillery combat is only a pediatric bombardment between warships, and under the conditions of constant turbulence on the sea, the distance of less than a mile is a test of nerves.

The gunners of the Orca battleships were able to sink enemy ships in the face of casualties, and they were not afraid of the guns of the distant city.

On the contrary, the Ganlasi people in the city do not have such a big nerve, and many people have not experienced Zhang Feng's attack on Manila back then. For the first time, they were firing at the enemy under artillery fire, and there was no guarantee of the same level as in peacetime.

When the two sides fired at the third round of Ganlasi, the gunners were a little overwhelmed, and the Changxing army was almost without a miss. Each round of fire would destroy one running position, and only one of the four guns in front of them would be able to return fire.

Castro commanded the other gunners in the running position, and it would take some time to push the guns this way. The remaining group of gunners were even more afraid to shoot at the long march, and Meng Fanrui seized the opportunity to push back the two 12-pounder guns that were not destroyed for the first time.

Two more cannons fired at the head of Manila, and the gunners at the head of the city were instantly suppressed.

After firing a few shells, the long march lowered the muzzles of the two 24-pounder guns and aimed them at the gates of Manila.

In the midst of the roar of the cannonballs, the gates were shattered by cannonballs. Revealing the sandbags that were stuck in the doorway, the merchants saw the gate shattered and rushed towards it.

Castro at the head of the city hurriedly organized musketeers to shoot at the maritime merchants under the city, and for a while people were constantly concentrated and fell to the ground, but they could not stop the maritime merchants from organizing a human charge.

They rushed to the gates of the city, brought sandbags that were blocked inside, and stormed into the city of Manila. The Changxing army also rushed in after the maritime merchants, and their goal was the governor's palace.

Castro sat at the head of the city in despair, listening to the shouts of killing all around him, and his heart was cold.

Finished! It's all over! The pirates entered the city, and they didn't end well at all. I regretted my decision to return to Manila, and if I had returned to the New World, nothing like this would have happened.

Once again, the slaughter outside Manila was staged inside the city, this time with the participation of the maritime merchants, and the entire city was plunged into blood.

The maritime merchants have been transformed into their usual disguises, and have become exactly like bloodthirsty pirates. They stormed the homes of the Ganlas and cut down everyone they saw.

Pull a beautiful western woman into the room, and everyone turns into a beast to vent the beastly desires in their hearts. The only place they didn't dare to go to was the Governor's Palace, which had been occupied by the Changxing Army.

Seeing the soldiers in cuirass guarding the door, the maritime merchants unconsciously spared it. On the contrary, the governor's palace occupied by the Changxing army became the most peaceful place.

Zhang Huan looked at Sandy, who was trembling in front of him, and said disdainfully: "You are the governor of Ganlasmanila?" ”

Listening to Zhang Huan's slightly mocking words, Sandy plucked up the courage to say, "It doesn't matter who you are!" You've provoked the mighty Empire of Ganras, and all that awaits you is endless retribution until you kill the last of you! ”

Zhang Huan waved his hand, ignoring Sandy's threat. said: "Let's not talk about whether the hostile forces around you will invade Ganlas when you are on an expedition to the east, let's talk about the distance you want to come to the east!" One month? Two months? Or half a year? How much fighting power will be left in Manila? Come on! Put away your scaremongering tricks, or I'll throw your sixteen-year-old daughter outside, and let the maritime merchants outside love her!" ”

"Nope! You can't do that, God will punish you! Sandy became nervous, and her daughter, who missed his father, who had not been home for years, followed Castro's fleet all the way to Manila.

Here she felt the charm of the Orient for the first time and fell in love with this oriental land.

Silk here became her favorite, and she couldn't put down the fine porcelain. Before she could appreciate the beauty of the East, she became a prisoner.

Melissa is Sandy's weakness, and Zhang Huan's words immediately pierced Sandy's disguise.

"That's it! I'm not going to talk nonsense with you either. Tell me where the silver is hidden, and spare your father and daughter's lives! Zhang Huan said impatiently.

Sandy's eyes rolled and he said, "Sir, the silver shipped from the New World has been used to buy raw silk and Oriental specialties. It's already spent, and there's no silver left in the Doge's Palace! ”

Zhang Huan shook his head again and again after hearing this, this Sandy really didn't cry when he saw the coffin. Immediately ordered: "Miss Melissa, please come over!" ”

After a while, a Western girl was brought in, and the girl was not very old, only fifteen or sixteen years old. But the figure is much taller than Mingren, and a gauze skirt sets off a delicate figure.

Seeing her daughter being brought over, Sandy was a little anxious. Exclaimed, "You despicable pirate, let my daughter go." God will not forgive you for your sins! ”

Melissa didn't have the crying of ordinary women, and her eyes widened and glared at Zhang Huan.

Zhang Huan said: "Okay! Put away your deceitful tricks, you will not be able to count the number of Indians you have killed in the Americas. The Mayans were almost killed by you, and have you done less treacherous? Don't use God to wrap your robber nature! ”

Sandy was speechless when he said this, and the essence of colonial aggression could not hide a fact even if he said it in a fanciful manner. That was to plunder the wealth of the colonies, and wealth was the source of their constant adventures.

"You talk nonsense! My father is spreading the glory of the Lord, not at all what you say! Melissa said stubbornly.
