A brigade of the Spanish Army against an infantry division of the Sixth Army Corps, even if it is a provisional division, the combat effectiveness is also leveraged, after all, it is the strongest elite who has just come out of the American Civil War, and this military quality is absolutely extraordinary!

Now that the two armies meet in a narrow way, the gap in combat power is suddenly revealed, not to mention that the Sixth Army has a division, even if it is a brigade, it is not something that the Spaniards can deal with, the first elite of the United States, and the Spanish colonial army, it is not at the same level, there is no problem for the colonial army to bully the natives, but it is far from reaching the point of the Spanish elite army!

The artillery shells in the sky enveloped the position of the Spanish 7th Brigade in an instant, and continued to bombard indiscriminately, and one by one the Spanish troops were sent into the sky by the violent explosion, with severed limbs and stumps flying sideways, rubble and flames flying!

As soon as it started, the 7th Brigade was stunned by the 2nd Provisional Division! As for the infantry, now all the officers and men of the US army have been equipped with the most advanced rear-loading repeat-firing rifled guns, while the Spanish army is only a reloaded breech-loading rifled gun, which cannot be fired continuously, and the firing speed is far inferior to that of the officers and men of the Sixth Army.

The Spanish 7th Brigade was almost crushed at the touch of a button! There is no way, no matter from which point of view, the current Spanish army will not be able to withstand such a ferocious attack!

"Retreat! Order, the whole army retreats in the southwest direction! Fast! ”

Miku hurriedly gave the order to retreat, and there is only one ending if he continues to fight like this, that is, the whole army will be annihilated, not an opponent at all!

The 7th Brigade quickly retreated to the rear, but now that the two sides are so close, even if you want to run, it is not a simple matter, in the rear of the 2nd Division, a cavalry regiment has already been prepared.

Seeing the retreat of the 7th Brigade, the cavalry regiment in the rear immediately pounced and launched a pursuit from the rear, so close at a distance, the cavalry charged to the front of the 7th Brigade and began wanton killing from behind.

Yes, wanton killing!

The army in defeat and retreat, encountered the charge of cavalry, it was impossible to keep the queue intact, let alone organize an effective defense, not to mention that now there was the pressure of the second division behind, the Spanish 7th Brigade was even more unable to stabilize the position, and was hit by the cavalry regiment that caught up!

Major General Brigade Commander Miku is now stupid and completely unable to run, his Seventh Brigade has been marching rapidly for several days, and he is already very tired, and he has encountered the impact of cavalry, where can he withstand this? Run?

Miku constantly commanded the army to fight, trying to repel the cavalry, it was impossible, the cavalry brandished the saber one by one, under the reflection of the sun, the cold light was hoo, and the Spanish soldiers were cut at the desperate life, the panicked Spaniards were scurrying around, dodging the impact of the cavalry, as long as the cavalry caught up, and then the huge impact of the war horse, it was absolutely nine deaths!

However, in a quarter of an hour, the 7th Brigade was completely collapsed by the cavalry impact, and the officers and men of the 7th Brigade scattered and fled, defeating Miku himself who shot seven or eight people, and it was still difficult to contain the chaos of the 7th Brigade! The entire 7th Brigade was divided into two parts by the cavalry regiment, and the officers and men of the 2nd Division in the back quickly rushed up, dividing and surrounding the entire 7th Brigade, and launched the final encirclement and annihilation battle!

A bloody battle, a bloody battle, a completely one-sided slaughter!

The two sides fought until dusk just after noon, and the entire 7th Brigade was completely broken up, more than 1,000 people were killed, nearly 2,000 were seriously wounded and captured, and the remaining 1,000 people took advantage of the chaos to escape, however, the unlucky Miku was not so lucky, and the entire headquarters of the 7th Brigade was surrounded by regiments, and finally became a prisoner of the 2nd Division.

Will Hengtong is complacent, and the credit for the first battle has been given to the first division, but this is not the second division, and it is time to show his face now!

"Order, quickly clean up the battlefield, rest on the spot after finishing the rectification, and continue to move towards Manila tomorrow morning!"

Verhengtong took the Seventh Brigade, in the northwest direction, the Third Brigade has now started a tragic expedition all the way, from Ding Aran Bay to the north, there are not many Spanish colonial troops stationed in the north of the vast island of Luzon, more than ten cities, each city has no more than one battalion at most, and some even have only one city with only one police station in the hands of the colonial army to maintain order, this strength is not the opponent of the first brigade of the provisional first division, this force is the elite of the lineage!

The commander of the 3rd Brigade was Meng Yuting, who came out of the training army, and was ordered to capture the entire island of North Luzon.

Meng Yuting was naturally not polite, the entire seventh brigade was unceremoniously divided into three parts by Meng Yuting, each regiment was responsible for the city in one direction, and launched an attack on the opponent!

In just two or three days, Meng Yuting's Third Brigade had already eaten the three cities in the north, and the soldiers were still advancing rapidly without stopping, which was the rhythm of hitting the northernmost Laoag in one go!

Manila, Philippine Governor Celeste has already received a telegram from the Duke of Ramon, asking him to immediately recruit natives on the spot, ready to resist the invasion of mercenaries, Britain and France will provide Spain with weapons and ammunition supplies, because of the successive failures of China's battlefield training, the Spanish army can not withdraw to the Philippines in a short time, and now Celeste can only withstand the attack of the mercenaries as much as possible.

Celeste almost died of anger with a telegram and recruited an indigenous army on the spot? Where is it that simple? If the recruitment was started a month before the mercenary invasion, it might still be able to play a little role, and now that the mercenary army is less than four hundred miles away from Manila, why not recruit the indigenous army at this time, and it will be useless? The mercenaries on the other side are all elites who came out of the American Civil War!

Even Spain's most elite army may not be able to gain the upper hand here, let alone the natives who have not been trained in any way? They weren't even a rabble, they were just a flock of little sheep!

However, now there is no other way to think of Cialester, so he can only do his best to support it, recruit troops, recruit troops, recruit troops as soon as possible, the whole line of troops is shrinking towards Manila Bay, the seventh brigade, the seventh brigade! Now there are only two brigades left in the entire Philippines, the ninth brigade is stationed in various parts of the Philippine islands, and the mobile force is only the seventh brigade!

Celeste suddenly thought of the Seventh Brigade, which had to be placed in Manila, and at the same time, with the Seventh Brigade as the backbone, to expand it into at least one division!

It's just that when Celeste thought of using the Seventh Brigade, he realized that he was in a hurry and did not give the Seventh Brigade an order to withdraw to Manila, and now the Seventh Brigade is still advancing towards Ding Alan Bay!
