Chapter 799: Everyone Is in Danger (I)

At dusk, the death squad that lost the soldiers withdrew and "Ono Water King wants to apologize for his crimes" was kicked to the ground by Lao Hei, scolding: "The most annoying thing for you like this, you will cut your stomach at every turn!" "That is, it saves a lot of trouble to jump into the sea, and you have to wipe the deck if it is dirty." Lin Feng also agreed.

"......" Ono is about to vomit blood.

"Hurry up and rest," Lao Hei looked at him, "Don't fail next time." ”

"Hey...... Ono nodded vigorously, "I'm waiting for that."

When the Ono Water King went down, Lin Feng's expression returned to seriousness and said: "Manila must be taken tomorrow, otherwise the Spaniards on the front line will come back to help" The situation will be complicated. ”

"Hmm," Lao Hei nodded: "The Spaniards are indeed powerful, and the bird commander of the death squad said that shooting with them is not an opponent at all." ”

"Yes, their combat effectiveness and literacy are stronger than ours." Lin Feng said thoughtfully.

"Then use the number to smash!" Lao Hei gritted his teeth and said, "I'll personally lead the team tomorrow!" ”

"No," Lin Feng shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous." ”

"I can't care so much." Lao Hei went out and said, "If I can't take Manila tomorrow, I won't come back!" ”

One, one, r, one, one,

Summing up yesterday's battle, Lin Feng believed that the fleet's berth was too far away to form an effective reinforcement for the attacking force, so he ordered the Draw Bowl and sailed into the port of Manila. Lao Hei personally commanded the landing of a large army, and it was the team himself who fought the vanguard.

On that day, the winds raged, and the Chinese youth in Manila, despite the danger, pierced the streets and alleys, setting fire to the mansions built by the Spaniards, and the skyrocketing fire "enveloped this beautiful city again" in just one year...... Last time, it was the death of the indigenous king Sutuman, who resolutely resisted the Spaniards, and the natives completely burned their own capital "to the colonizers, leaving a ruin."

The Spaniards had long since taken refuge in the bunkers of the Doge's Palace, reinforced with wooden cabinets filled with earth on all sides, and pulled the cannons that had been installed in the city into the bunkers. The woman took care of the wounded, the child took on the task of transporting ammunition and food, and everything was being prepared in an orderly manner.

At the lookout of the bunker, a tall, thin man with "black eyes, reddish-brown curly hair, and a beautiful curly beard, wearing a red military uniform, white military trousers, long leather boots, and a blue ribbon, held the battlement and looked into the distance." He was the Philippine governor of Spain, Legazpi.

Governor Li watched the fires burning around the city and smoked a cigarette vigorously. That face, which is always full of confidence, is full of irritability and restlessness at the moment. He was worried not only about the current crisis, but also about the Empire's plans to assemble in Asia......

After arriving in Luzon and easily defeating the local armed forces and colonizing the islands, he became a new celebrity in the empire "and even had the opportunity to correspond with His Majesty." In the letter, His Majesty Philip II praised his adventurous spirit and remarkable ability, and even proposed the great goal of further trade with China, and even hoped to conquer China.

Legazpi was also carried away, and even in his reply he made a bold statement to the king, "China is very rich and densely populated, and if Your Majesty is willing to dispatch it, we will be able to conquer it in a few years." At the end of last year, he sent a hand-drawn map of the coastal topography of Luzon and China, together with a map of the land of China, to King Philip II of Spain, in which he put forward an ambitious plan "hoping that the king would approve his invasion of China."

However, what he never expected was that his plan had not yet been delivered to the king. A few months later, "a large-scale pirate fleet from China gave him a disadvantage." If it weren't for the disorganized organization and lack of careful planning, I am afraid that our side would have been driven out of Manila in the first battle.

Although they were lucky to win the naval battle and successfully seized the lead in the following raid on Hawksbill Harbor, the powerful combat effectiveness of those Chinese pirates in the face of adversity completely frightened the Spaniards. Lately, he has often asked himself whether there would be a place for Spain in the Pacific Ocean if more Chinese people, including the powerful Ming government, were so fierce that a small group of pirates were so fierce: "If more Chinese people, even the powerful Ming government, suddenly became interested in the archipelago?"

Now that the other side's reinforcements have finally arrived, "and they have adopted extremely clever tactics, saying in the newly learned Chinese, shouting, and recruiting slightly" filled his heart with a deep sense of frustration and fear. Legazpi knew very well that if this war was lost, their unpopular invaders would lose Manila and then all of Luzon. The great dream of entering China and dominating the world will also come to naught......

一凡一"一、一"

"We must hold on!" Legazpi stomped out the cigarette butt and shouted loudly to his men to convey his determination to them.

However, the expressions on everyone's faces were not relaxed. There is no doubt that "this is the strongest opponent the Spaniards have faced since they began to establish a global colony, far superior in force and equipped with no less combat power!" The military commanders of their own side had already been killed, and the more serious difficulty was that they were too few in number, "because the fighting in Banshiran had reached its most critical juncture, and there were less than 100 officers and men left in Manila." Fortunately, in the middle of the night, a colony team returned from a nearby island, bringing the number of people in the bunker to about 150 people.

In fact, there are thousands of servants, but it is no problem for those people to burn and loot together, but when they encounter this kind of tough battle, it is fortunate not to add to the chaos" and may stab them in the back. "I'm not afraid of god-like opponents" I'm afraid of pig-like teammates, so the commander arranged them all outside the bunker and was in charge of the outer defense line.

Sure enough, "as soon as the fire broke out, and the shouts of killing were heard, those servant troops dispersed in a hurry" and other "Chinese pirates rushed into the courtyard of the governor's palace, and there was already an open field between it and the bunker.

There was no expected external resistance, and the attacking side was a little stunned, fearing that there would be deception, so they forcibly stopped their steps and looked at the pillbox across an open lawn. But it soon turned out that there was no ambush, just that the other side did not arrange a defense.

Lao Hei ordered an attack on the bunker.

A little man with a lewd hairstyle shaved in the middle, the hair around him combed back, wearing a nightgown-like death suit, stepping on a pair of clogs "showing fluffy little short legs" and heart guard hair fluttering in the wind, the former nickname His Excellency Ono Water King, appeared at the front of the team "pulled out the shiny katana, stretched forward, and bared his teeth and said, "Kill haha!" So he led more than 100 [day] death squads and rushed forward like locusts.

When they shouted and rushed halfway through, "the Spaniards' platoon guns rang out, and the fire was dense and accurate, and twenty or thirty people were knocked down on the spot." However, the rest did not collapse," but continued to shout and rush towards the bunker.

Behind them, the old black also ordered the musketeers to open fire with all their might, "suppressing the pillbox."

For a time, the courtyard of the governor's palace was densely gunshot, shouting and screaming.

It should be said that the "Day" himself is still very heroic, Ono Water King and his subordinates rushed all the way to the pillbox, and climbed up with both hands and feet. If it weren't for the Spaniards' early preparation and serving with boiling oil, this wave of attacks would have been able to be killed.

However, there are no ifs in reality, so they still retreated in embarrassment after paying for seventy or eighty lives.

Lao Hei was also anxious, and organized two more attacks, but both ended in failure, with heavy casualties. By noon, "Lin Feng brought them cannons from the ship, and began to bombard the pillbox, and the other party also returned fire with cannons, and the archery skills were obviously better. For half an hour, instead of taking advantage, three general cannons were blown up by others.

Lao Hei was completely anxious and was about to personally lead the army to launch a general attack" At this moment, a representative of the Luzon branch appeared in front of him and brought him forty armored vehicles...... It was the local Chinese, who soaked a thick quilt with water and covered it with a trolley, which could provide them with an effective and mobile defense.

Lao Hei immediately organized a death squad, and under the cover of the cotton armor car, "moved forward again." This time it was much better, and the Spaniards' bullets "could not hurt the soldiers hiding in Bungo, and they could only watch them get closer and closer."

Lao Hei was overjoyed when he saw this, and used all the cotton armor carts, leaving only a reserve of 200 people, and the rest of the men all launched a fierce attack, forming a siege on the Spanish pillbox.

one, one

At the same time, there was also a fierce battle at sea, and it turned out that Salcido, the commander of the Spanish front, "was a very cautious man, and did not see the two ships arrive that night, and before dawn the next day, he sent three capital ships "with half of the marines" back to Manila to check the situation.

The three warships encountered the speedboat that came to call for help on the way, and the commander immediately decided to launch a surprise attack to "destroy the enemy warships anchored in the harbor." However, Lin Feng had already been waiting for the battle, set up a battle formation, and waited for the enemy to be killed.

The Spanish navy claimed to be invincible in the world, "of course, it was not in vain, they immediately lined up to meet the enemy, "after firing a deflection in unison, turn the direction" in order to return and carry out the next round of shelling" This is what they are proud of, a one-line attack, tactics.

To their surprise, however, the opposing side seemed to be good at the same tactics, and they also lined up, avoiding close contact, firing only from the flanks, and pushing forward with the leadership of the flagship, "trying to gain the upper hand."

The Spaniards, of course, could not let their opponents succeed, so they struggled to escape the danger of being overtaken and tried to seize the upper hand. As a result, the two fleets of large warships remained together at a distance of more than four nautical miles in the wide Manila Bay. Both sides attacked each other only with heavy artillery fire.

Lin Feng remembered that the Franc Mechanic instructor who used to be the captain of the Royal Navy told him that you should try your best to avoid getting too close to them, and you can beat them with just your cannon...... This allowed the war to be fought in safer conditions, and also reduced the losses of the fleet's crews. In a series of naval battles in the name of Lin Feng, he relied on this tactic and returned with great victories.

And now, he couldn't help but wonder that when two fleets with the same tactics and similar level met together, the Spaniards were a little stronger, but Lin Feng and the two ships were fighting or dancing court dances.

Although both sides are double-decker ships and are equipped with dozens of cannons to increase their power, in fact, it is difficult to sink each other with shells alone. Even if it is hit by the 30 catties of XX fired by the main gun, it will only cause a small bullet hole, and a small bullet will be pierced into the fragments of wood that flew during the explosion, "It may kill and injure the crew, but it will not cause much damage to the overall structure of the ship." Only if the fire spreads "will it be possible to burn the ship", but the crews on both sides have undergone strict damage management training, "such a disaster is unlikely to occur."

As a result, the two sides fought in ping-pong at sea until dark, and no one could help anyone, and not a single enemy ship was sunk.

The two sides had no choice but to withdraw their troops for the time being and wait for dawn to fight again.

However, the land was still in full swing, the Spanish pillboxes were very tall and strong, and the old black they lacked siege equipment, although they attacked under the pillbox, but they were still blocked by death, and the casualties were very heavy.

At this time, "someone in the city shouted.

Lao Hei asked the interpreter what kind of bird language he spoke, and the interpreter said: "The Spaniards said that it is getting dark, and we should withdraw our troops and fight again tomorrow." ”

"Why?" Lao Hei glared at each other and said, "This is what they can say?" "It seems that this is the rule of war on their side, called noble chivalry. The translator said.

"Damn noble", Lao Hei smacked fiercely: "The world is burned and killed, which noble is this?" ”

"How do we talk?" , the interpreter asked.

...... "The old black eyes rolled, "called the little wild water king who was still alive, and whispered a few words to him. Who knew that Ono Water King actually shook his head and said, "No, the sneak attack is not in line with the spirit of the samurai." ”

"You're a samurai again." The old black head was as big as a fight: "It turns out that the more high-pitched you sing, the more things you are!" As he spoke, he grabbed Ono Water's heart-protecting hair and said, "You're not a samurai now, you're a ronin, a ronin, you have to be enough to be a wave." ", "one",

The Chinese people don't have to worry about fighting wars" Sun Wu Zhuge will jump out of the coffin and despise you fiercely.

So Lao Hei asked people to shout and say that they agreed to an armistice. As a result, there were really no guns on the bunkers, "but they are not stupid children, they still point their guns at each other" and "if there is anything abnormal, they can pull the trigger at any time."

But the Ming people didn't seem to be cheating, under the close surveillance of the other party, they still used the car as a cover, and slowly retreated, leaving only a thick pile of corpses, "maybe they felt afraid" Maybe there were their relatives among the dead people, and those Ming people actually wailed and cried while retreating.

The eyes of the Spaniards, following those cars farther and farther, "listening to those heart-rending cries", couldn't help but feel sad, since since the empire colonized, they have not been beaten so badly, and they will definitely not be able to hold on for a few days. God, make sure we get to this purgatory quickly.

Perhaps God was free, and their prayers had an immediate effect, but a dark shadow suddenly rushed up from under the battlements, "As soon as the cold light flickered, a distracted soldier was sent to the western heavens.

"Enemy attack!" , The mournful shouts overwhelmed the mournful Ming people. Although the Spaniard immediately came to the rescue with a bayonet, the man was really skilled in martial arts, and his long sword flew like snow, which was able to block a circle of enemies. Behind him, one after another, black shadows climbed up to the top of the city, and then brandished a long knife to join the battle group, and the watchtower was completely chaotic.

The people of the Ming Kingdom under the city stopped crying, and immediately turned around and "rushed to the watchtower like a tide."

The victory was decided, and Lao Hei finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he had Ono Mizuoh and his subordinates serve as ninjas for more than 20 people, pretending to be dead corpses and lying in the pile of corpses. Then they deliberately cried and retreated" to distract the attention of the enemy troops in the city, and the water kings took the opportunity to take advantage of the cover of night to quietly climb the watchtower...... Finally, taking advantage of the enemy's surprise, he succeeded in reaching the top in one fell swoop.

The Spaniards were very single, and after the top floor of the watchtower was lost, they knew that they had lost, so they stretched out a white flag from it and said, "Surrender."

Lao Hei told them to hand over their weapons, crawl out of them one by one, and then stand on the roof of the battlefield and ask them which one is the leader.

Legazpi's arm was wounded, bandaged and fell on his chest, and he stood up and said, "I am the supreme governor here, Legazpi, the governor of the Philippines. "I actually said the Chinese dialect.

"You should have a caesarean section!" The Ono Water King, who had made great contributions, was triumphant and taught Governor Li a lesson.

"Why didn't you cut your stomach in the first place?" Lao Hei glared at him angrily. If it weren't for the defeat, Ono would still be his earth overlord in the day, how could he come here to make money?

The little wild water king, who was still arrogant just now, wilted all of a sudden, and it was his eternal pain.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ 1. "...... 1. "......" ...... 1. "...... 1. "......" ...... 1. "......" ...... 1. "......, ~ one"...... ......, "......" ......, a "......, one......

At dawn the next day, when the Spaniards at sea were just about to continue the war, Lin Feng sent a prisoner to "tell them the news that Manila had fallen and that Governor Li had been captured."

After confirming the bad news, the three warships did not stop for a moment, and then left the battlefield and headed for the Hawksbill Harbor. Salcido, who was anxiously waiting, knew that if he delayed any longer, he would be surrounded by the other party, so he hurriedly withdrew his troops overnight and boarded the ship and retreated to the base in Wusu. ~!
