The fifth volume destroys the barbarians and sweeps the world

Rockets roared like dragons, then swiftly across the sea and harbor. plunged headlong into the black-pressed crowd.

In the midst of a series of loud noises, fireworks burst into flames, and countless black smoke and golden light burst out, engulfing pieces of Tagalu, and bursting into clouds of blood mist.

The Tagalutes were broken, and they fled in all directions, crying and wailing, and they ran away without ceasing, leaving behind an empty plain.

When the Tagalog began to crumble, Cueva led the surviving Spanish soldiers and fled to the south bank of the Bashi River.

As soon as the Tagalogs were surging in shock, they were horrified to find a roar from the north and south.

As they fled, they looked at the cavalry they had occasionally seen from the Spaniards, and it was Hu Handong's iron cavalry.

Three hundred iron cavalry pursued from the left, and three hundred iron cavalry outflanked from the right, like two unstoppable iron streams, quickly approaching the chaotic rout.

The iron horsemen on the left and right approached and fired furiously, and rockets raged in the crowd, dressing the Tagalogs into meat skewers, frightening the Tagalus even more helpless, throwing all their burdens behind, and only desperately fleeing.

Seeing that the enemy had no intention of fighting, Hu Handong roared into the flow of people, leaving a lifeless body from the tail, and Xiao Liu rushed to the right side, weakening piece by piece from the edge.

The plains of southern Luzon, the complete collapse of the fleeing enemy army, is the favorite situation of the cavalry of the Dingnan Army.

A cavalry warrior fought in and out, and a group of iron cavalry interspersed left and right, and groups of attack arrays stamped wildly, leaving a dead trail behind the Tagalu.

Finally, the Tagalu, who had no strength and no courage, knelt on the ground and surrendered.

Hu Handong unceremoniously left 100 horsemen, and the remaining 200 horsemen converged into an iron stream and chased the Spaniards in the direction of the south bank of the Bass River.

Cueva gasped, bent down to stop the soldiers, and then shouted intermittently: "They have cavalry, we can't escape, immediately form a battle to the death!" ”

A phalanx of 100 soldiers and artillerymen, under the command of Cueva, quickly assembled, and muskets were aimed at the onrushing iron horsemen.

Hu Handong laughed, waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to disperse, and the iron cavalry instantly turned into five hundred-man teams, and began to circle around the Spanish array.

From within range of the muskets, rockets shot out, knocking Spanish soldiers to the ground.

In vain, the Spaniards began to fire a salvo, but could not reach even the shadow of the enemy, and only waited helplessly for the final death.

The Spaniards on the outside fell, the Spaniards on the inside wailed, and Cueva, who was hollow in the phalanx, no longer had the will to resist, so he tore off the white and hung on his sword to show his willingness to surrender to the enemy.

Hu Handong looked up and smiled, and then he shot the rocket out quickly, sweeping the Spaniards to the ground

Cueva clutched the arrows on his chest, looked at the roaring cavalry with blurred and dark eyes, and said with a wry smile while vomiting blood: "Sure enough, I came for revenge, God bless Manila..."

When 2,000 sailors and 5,000 cavalry battalion soldiers, led by Lu Xinrong and Yin Yuang, finally crossed the Bashi River and arrived on the south bank.

But at this time, Zhao Laosan and the others had already captured the majestic city of Manila.

Relying on the hard work of the black monkeys, they brought the cannons of the red hair, and they couldn't help but blow up the city gate with a few cannons, and conquered the city of Manila without thinking.

After listening to the military intelligence report, Lu Xinrong was stunned for a long time before shaking his head and saying with a bitter smile: "This battle started strangely, and the fight was even more confused, what are you doing?"

Well, if we win, we will go to Manila City to meet the Spanish beauty, and the Governor of Acuña, who has been thinking about him for a long time. ”

The city of Manila is located on the south bank of the Ba Sir River, which is a wide moat with rock-paved walls more than two feet high, and seven gates and drawbridges separating the inside and outside.

A governor's palace, two cathedrals, and rows of European-style buildings stand neatly in it.

The rooftop of the Governor's Palace is not only open and vast, but also full of life.

The greenery and delicate flowers of the South Seas grow around the edge of the rooftop.

The church bells, the European-style villa area, the majestic city walls, the endless Bashi River, the blonde and blue-eyed Spanish beauties, and the humid sea breeze of the South Seas are like being in a fairytale dream place.

Groups of Spanish men were escorted out, and groups of Spanish women were kept in centralized custody.

A southern army marched north, and a family of Luzon compatriots entered the city of Manila, and Lu Xinrong happily took a cup of fragrant coffee from the Spanish maid.

"Conquest is both sin and joy!

Since the day of human existence, civilization has developed in the process of conquest and subjugation.

We conquer nature, we conquer races, we conquer aliens, we conquer land, we conquer seas.

My dear Excellency the Governor, conquest is so intoxicating, but I don't know what it's like to be conquered? ”

Lu Songhua truthfully translated Lu Xinrong's words.

Acuña, the governor of Luzon, Spain, roared angrily at Lu Xinrong and said: "The glory of God will not be dimmed, and the glory of Spain will never fall."

When the invincible Spanish navy is thrown here, not only Luzon and the South Seas, but also your monarch and kingdom, will finally taste the joy of conquest.

I don't know your answer to me. Will you be satisfied? ”

Lu Xinrong seemed to hear the most ridiculous joke, and laughed:

"Thirty years ago, the Spanish Armada was destroyed by the British pirates, and five years ago the Holy Roman Empire began a Protestant-Catholic war, which led directly to the war between the Netherlands and Spain.

My dear Excellency the Governor-General, I wonder how many warships and land forces the glorious Empire Spain can draw to the South Seas to recover Luzon, or even attack the mighty Ming Empire? ”

Acuña was stunned and said, "How do you know?" ”

Of course, it was said by the all-knowing Marquis Qin.

Lu Xinrong pursed his lips, took a sip of burnt coffee, and then turned around and smiled: "The Governor also knows that a few months ago, the fleets of Britain and the Netherlands had just blockaded Manila Bay.

If it weren't for the fact that the Dutch wanted to occupy the Ming Empire, they would have annexed you a long time ago. ”

Acuña sneered, "But they still went north. I must remind you,

Honorable General, since the English and Dutch have encroached on your homeland, do not expect them to be merciful, and perhaps it is the Spaniards who you will need at that time. ”

Lu Xinrong shook his head and smiled: "It's a pity that it's not today, let alone this time."

Moreover, the Governor must remind His Excellency that my navy's expedition to Luzon is precisely to ask Your Excellency, what price are you prepared to pay to repay the lives of tens of thousands of Ming people? ”

Acuña said angrily: "It was your emperor who tried to get his hands on Luzon, it was your compatriots who tried to resist, and we just did it to defend ourselves."

And. Your officials have long agreed with us that neither side will pursue this matter. ”

Lu Xinrong shook his head and smiled at Acuña: "Your Excellency, you have digressed.

Ben Governor asked, at what cost were the Spaniards prepared to pay?

The Governor doesn't care for what, whose responsibility it is, or what kind of agreement has been reached?

When your butcher's knife is swung at my Chinese people, you should consider whether you will be retaliated against.

Now, the anger of our Ming Empire has burned to Luzon, so the Spaniards and the natives of Luzon will have to pay the price twice for their sins back then. ”

Unconvinced, Acuña argued with Lu Xinrong: "We have entrusted the Portuguese with the delivery of an account to your emperor, and we have reached an agreement with your officials.

You have no right, let alone a reason, to pursue this matter from us. ”

It's really robber logic, and the Marquis of Qin is not a prophet.

Lu Xinrong finally got an idea.

He sighed: "To conquer, to plunder, to kill, there is never a reason, at most only an excuse."

When did the Spaniards consider the reasons and rights of the Spaniards who conquered Africa, conquered the American continent, conquered our vassal Luzon, and slaughtered tens of thousands of people in our dynasty?

Again, the Governor must remind you, my dear Governor, and I have been holding back for a long time what I want to tell you, that the only purpose of the agreement is to tear it up. ”

Acuña finally bowed his head and said, "What are you going to do with us?" ”

Lu Xinrong said with a smile: "This governor has no right to deal with you. The fate of the Spaniards in Luzon is in the hands of those close to you.

As for you, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will be more interested in inviting you to visit Beijing.

Believe me, it is a great country, it is a majestic city, and there is an unreasonable monarch there, and you will feel that this trip is worth it, and even more so your life. ”

Acuña pleaded, "Pay the price with my life, and be merciful to spare my family." ”

Lu Xinrong turned around, looked at the compatriots who were crying and laughing wildly in Manila, and said lightly: "This is not for the governor to decide. ”
