With an inferior force of 400 men, they attacked a city defended by thousands of musketeers, and there were artillery on the city! Isn't this self-defeating and self-defeating? If they had known in advance, they would never have come to attack Manila!

So it's more of a joke that they're coming to attack Manila now! So seeing such ferocious fire on the walls, the commander of the Spaniards immediately shouted: "Retreat!" Fall back! Hurry up and retreat! ”

When these Spaniards heard this, they did not hesitate and immediately retreated, but even then they could not retreat with their whole body, and by the time they had retreated far enough, dozens of corpses had already been thrown behind!

More than 400 of them came to attack Manila City full of energy, but they didn't expect that before they could get close to Manila City, there were less than 300 people left! You must know that they fought from the east side of the island to the west side of the island, and the total movement loss was only a dozen people!

Unexpectedly, when they all felt that they had conquered the island, they suffered heavy losses under the city of Manila, and everyone was a little depressed after these Spaniards retreated far away.

If their warships were still there, even if they couldn't fight them, they could calmly retreat, but now that the dock in the harbor was empty, they had no way out! Originally, they also planned to storm the city of Manila, press for news of the warship, and replenish ammunition supplies.

I didn't expect that the originally weak Manila City had become so powerful, and it was not something that they could shake with just a few hundred people! They have already calculated that there are at least a thousand even musketeers in the city of Manila, and there are also artillery, and it will take at least two thousand heroic Spanish soldiers to capture the city of Manila!

The ships are gone, they can't storm Manila, and most importantly, they're running out of ammunition! It was simply the end of the road, these Spaniards felt that they had been abandoned by God!

Their commander Magellan's face was gloomy and he said: "Why are there so many arquebuses here?" Why is there still artillery? It must be the Portuguese! These Portuguese, they occupy the origin of spices, so when they see us coming to the East, they will definitely be wary of us! ”

"These damned Portuguese are just thinking of monopolizing the spices of the East! It must be like this! How could these backward natives of the East have powerful arquebuses and artillery?! ”

After hearing what the commander said, these Spaniards all agreed very much, the natives of the East could not be so powerful, so the only possibility to occupy Manila City was the Portuguese! What's more, if the occupants of Manila were Portuguese, they still had a way to live, because there was no such thing as a life-and-death feud!

But in any case, they had to retreat first, and after a short rest, the Spaniards continued to retreat westward, and they had to be stationed in a safe place before returning to discuss what to do next!

Seeing that the Spaniards just attacked in a wave, and then ran away, and soon ran away, which made Zhang Zhijie a little surprised, is this still a powerful Spaniard?

Wasn't the Kingdom of Spain an invincible power that crisscrossed the seas? Doesn't it have a powerful fleet called the Invincible Armada? Why did you run away so cowardly?

In fact, Zhang Zhijie was just bluffed by the reputation of the Spaniards, it is true that Spain was indeed strong at this time, but it was only because they were the first to start the voyage and accumulate wealth!

Now that Da Ming has begun to improve firearms under the integration of Zhang Zhijie, his combat power is not much weaker than that of the Spaniards. Moreover, today's Ming Dynasty has begun to open the sea for trade, the national strength is thriving, and the strength has begun to rise strongly! How did the later Ming die? He died of poverty!

So Zhang Zhijie was also a little dumbfounded, he also counted on defending the city, with the help of arquebuses and artillery to wipe out these Spaniards, but he didn't expect these Spaniards to just rush in a wave and run away quickly!

If the Spanish commander knew Zhang Zhijie's thoughts, he would definitely jump to his feet and scold! I'm so sick, in the face of thousands of arquebuses and powerful artillery, with a weak force to storm the city of Manila, what is the difference between that and sending me to death?

Zhang Zhijie was looking forward to these Spaniards coming to die, but he didn't expect these Spaniards to retreat after throwing down a hundred corpses! This made Zhang Zhijie very dissatisfied, and made him feel like he had punched the cotton hard.

This is not pleasant, since the Spaniards are so cowardly, it seems that they have overestimated the combat power of the Portuguese, and there are only two or three hundred Portuguese left, so what is there to be afraid of?

Zhang Zhijie immediately left 1,500 men to garrison the city, preparing to lead 1,500 men to pursue the Spaniards, wipe out these Spaniards, and occupy Luzon in one fell swoop.

Since they knew that the foreigners were coming to attack the city, the people of Manila were very nervous, for fear that the city would be attacked by the foreigners again, and they would definitely be cruelly treated by the foreigners again.

But the final result surprised them, or rather, they were ecstatic, and the foreigners were repulsed! The army of the Ming Dynasty was really powerful, and it was easy to repel the foreigners!

Before these ecstatic Manila people had time to celebrate, they heard a shocking news that the general from the Ming Dynasty was going to personally lead a large army to pursue the foreigners!

When they heard the news, their first feeling was not surprise, but also shock! These foreigners are so powerful, and it is already very remarkable that the generals of the Ming Dynasty can defend the city! How can you go after foreigners?

If the army of the Ming Dynasty went to pursue the foreigners and was defeated by the foreigners, what would they do? Won't Manila City fall to foreigners again? Then they will still suffer a bloody massacre by foreigners!

So when Zhang Zhijie reorganized his army and prepared to go out of the city, many Manilans had already surrounded him, and the first ones were the Han people living in Manila! After all, they used to be Ming people, and they were able to make the generals of the Ming Dynasty look high.

"Lord Admiral, I heard that you are going to lead a large army to pursue the foreigners?" The old man asked with a worried look.

"Yes, those foreigners have retreated to the west, and the Governor is about to organize his army to pursue them!" Zhang Zhijie said lightly.

"Lord Admiral, don't do it! The Admiral's ability to repel the foreigners is already immeasurable! And why risk chasing the foreigners? The old man said worriedly.

"That's right! That's it! There was such a chorus all around, and even the ministers of Luzon looked worried when they arrived.
