Geng Huoyan, who was scratching his head, did not expect that the other party would hang out the white flag and surrender, and was immediately overjoyed, and immediately contacted the Second Destroyer Fleet and sent two destroyers to send people up to the Castile to receive the surrender, while the ships of the two fleets were responsible for covering.

At this time, on the waters of Manila Bay, Zheng Dingbang commanded more than 20 battleships and cruisers to use hundreds of guns of more than 155 mm caliber to violently bombard the battleships Pelayo and Carlos V at a distance of 5,000 meters.

Zheng Dingbang 100% understood Hu Zhen's idea, he wanted to quickly expand the fleet of the Huaxia Army by capturing enemy ships, and quickly form a fleet that could confront the navies of the European powers, so he ordered not to use armor-piercing shells, but to use blasting shells to bombard the two lone battleships in front of him.

In ten minutes, the Huaxia fleet fired more than 4,000 shells, and the two battleships of the Luzon fleet were each hit by at least 100 shells.

The dense artillery fire caused the Pelayo and Carlos V to burst into flames, and in the smoke and ammunition fire, all the gun positions on the ship did not have a good vision to shell the outside at all, and the gunners could only shoot a shell indiscriminately outside, which could not cause any damage to the Chinese fleet.

"Suspend the shelling and inform the enemy of the surrender with the flag!" Zheng Dingbang was obsessed with taking the two battleships into his pocket.

The shelling stopped for several minutes, and after the flags were issued, the fire on the two battleships had not yet dispersed, and the detonating small-caliber shells thundered, and I saw that there were figures coming and going busy fighting the fires, but no one hung up the white flag of surrender.

But there was no more external shelling, and the Huaxia fleet had to continue to wait quietly.

This state of stopping on the battlefield on both sides seems very strange.

Zheng Dingbang didn't know if the other party could see the flag of the Huaxia Army, so he had to order the flag to surrender several times in succession.

On the sea, more than 20 warships of the Huaxia Army formed a semicircle around the two battleships, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, the fire on the two enemy ships became smaller and smaller, and Zheng Dingbang had no choice but to order to continue to use blasting shells to continue bombarding.

After half an hour of heavy artillery fire, the roar erupted again.

Zheng Dingbang unwillingly looked at the two battleships in front of him with a telescope, and suddenly saw a few pieces of broken white cloth floating out of the Carlos V. Hurriedly shouted: "Do you see, there are a few pieces of white cloth floating from the Carlos V!" ”

"Yes, I saw it too!"

Several officers said they saw it, so Cheng Dingbang ordered to quickly stop the shelling of the Carlos V again.

This time. The Carlos V finally hoisted a white flag again and officially surrendered to the Huaxia Army.

The officers and men on the Pelayo saw that the Chinese army had stopped shelling the Carlos V and that the hit fire was pouring on their own ship, and they immediately became anxious and petitioned Severa one after another:

"Your Excellency, Commander. We've already lost, there's no point in fighting any longer! ”

"Surrender, let's go home!"

"We have fought to the last one, and we have not damaged the honor of the soldiers!"

"Hang up the white flag!" Severa sighed and sat down on the deck, looking dejected.

The Luzon fleet went from high morale to complete defeat and surrender, but only a few days.

"Well, the Luzon fleet has been completely destroyed, tell the officers and men of the army the news, and at the same time ask the whole army to strengthen the offensive. Today, the Marines landed on the flank and completed the encirclement! Hu Zhen received the surrender of the last remaining ships of the Luzon fleet, and ordered with a slap: "Order Ouyang Yu of the Northern Route Army not to stay any longer, immediately break through the enemy's position with all his might, quickly go south, and take Manila City!" ”

When the Huaxia Army received the news that the Luzon fleet had been completely annihilated, they were greatly encouraged and attacked in accordance with Hu Zhen's orders.

In the face of the offensive of the Huaxia Army, where could the Second Army and the Third Army commanded by Willer be able to stop it?

For only half a day, the position was like a leaky wooden barrel. Water was leaking everywhere.

With the cooperation of the navy's battleships, heavy artillery and airship groups, the Huaxia Army attacked on several sides, and the Western Army had no choice but to flee by seizing the road, and Velaire's bullet pressure had no effect.

Worse. Behind the Western Army, a large transport fleet of the Chinese Army suddenly appeared on the coast.

The Chinese Army's maritime marines and special combat units quickly landed and cut off the rear of the Western Army.

The total number of marines and special combat units is not more than 10,000 people, but with the cooperation of naval warships, they have shown super combat effectiveness, and the western army, which is several times their size, rushed over, and could not shake their beachhead.

The Western Army, which has no way to escape. had to scatter and flee, and wild wolves rushed all over the mountains.

Who knew that the Huaxia Army had already arranged for this, and divided the troops into multiple small units for fierce pursuit.

The Western Army formed a powerful group army, and none of them were opponents of the Huaxia Army, so where was this scattered squad fighting still the opponent of the Huaxia Army? Such scattered actions only accelerated the pace of destruction, but in just one day, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Western Army collapsed.

Some Western soldiers escaped back to the outskirts of Manila, but they found that there were no more of their colleagues in Manila, and the flag of the Chinese Army was flying on the old castle.

It turned out that the 20,000 or 30,000 western troops in the northern part of Manila could not stop the fierce assault of the Huaxia army on the northern route, and under the command of Ouyang Yu, the troops marched by land and water, quickly took Manila City, and attacked south from Manila City to surround the escaped Western Army regiments.

In this encirclement was Valeriano, the governor of the Spanish colony of Luzon. Army General Velaire.

Willaire personally commanded tens of thousands of horses to rush left and right, but they just couldn't fight their way out of the encirclement, at this time, the airship in the sky suddenly flew in, throwing countless pieces of paper, which read in Spanish: "The city of Manila has fallen, if you don't surrender and go home to reunite with your family, how long will you wait?" Surrender with this paper in hand and enjoy preferential treatment. ”

"How is that possible? Manila City is well defended, how could it be captured by these barbarians? They must be lying, lying! Velaire flew into a rage and ordered the soldiers to immediately put away the pieces of paper in their hands and burn them.

But at this time, the Western Army, from the senior officers to the grassroots soldiers, knew that they had failed, and if they kept this note, maybe they would really get preferential treatment if they surrendered, so everyone was in disobedience, and they all quietly hid a note on their bodies in case of emergency.

Willaire saw this, but he was powerless to stop almost everyone from moving, so he had to silently prepare for the last moment on his own.

The large force of the Chinese army soon appeared in front of Velier, who knew that this was the last moment, and he raised his revolver to his head, and was about to pull the trigger and commit suicide to end his humiliating conquest in the Luzon colony. (To be continued.) )
