In the battle of attacking the port, the losses of the marines were not small, nearly 100 soldiers were killed and wounded, of which more than 40 soldiers had died, and more than 20 soldiers were seriously injured.

Seeing that the Marine Corps suffered such a large casualty for the first time, Zheng Xing was extremely angry, he arranged for the soldiers to clean up the port and prepare to receive the South China Sea Fleet to dock, and on the other hand, he used the Spanish shore guns in the port to attack the Spanish ships still stationed near the port, which was an artillery bombardment, and he vented all the anger in his heart on these lifeless ships.

Several ships of Spain, originally relying on shore artillery to prevent Zheng Zhilong from landing, now the target of the shore artillery is them, in the face of solid shells of shore artillery, they can only be beaten, Zheng Zhilong's large number of ships are in the open sea, they just want to escape, there is no way on the sea, if they really want to fight against Zheng Zhilong's fleet, I am afraid that they will die faster, the naval guns of the South China Sea Fleet are firing flowering shells.

Zheng Xing commanded the gunners to aim at the Spanish ships and bombarded them non-stop, and the Spaniards once waved the white flag in desperation, but as soon as the white flag appeared on the ship, it was smashed by solid bullets, and Zheng Xing just didn't see it.

The ship was forced to turn and began to fire solid shells at the shore.

The target of the shore artillery is too small, the hit rate of the naval artillery is too low, besides, Zheng Xing doesn't care about the damage to the shore artillery, these shore guns can only fire solid shells, that is, they were captured by the Ming Dynasty, but they just got a bunch of rotten iron.

The Spanish artillery in the harbor, striking the Spanish ships parked in the harbor, this is exactly the big joke, I don't know what the Spain on the ships thought.

Zheng Zhilong didn't care what the Spaniards thought, seeing that the Spanish ships were already scarred, his fleet began to join the artillery bombardment, until all the Spanish ships sank and disintegrated.

After the South China Sea Fleet docked, it removed ten guns from the transport ship and transported them to the city of Santo Domingo, where they were handed over to the brigade commander Kim Hui.

In the city of Santo Domingo, in addition to the Han and indigenous hired laborers, and nearly a hundred Spanish merchants, the real soldiers are only about 100 people, if it were not for Zheng Xing in order to reduce the casualties of the marines, let the Jin Hui only surround and not fight, I am afraid that the city would be broken now.

Boredom, Jin Hui had been waiting impatiently, he showed off his might under the city, and even asked the soldiers to pee on the defenders at the head of the city to show teasing, but the defenders just didn't go out of the city, and finally a Han citizen came over and asked them which country's army they were.

Jin Hui pointed to the Sun and Moon military flag and proudly announced to the Han people at the head of the city that he was a soldier from the Ming Dynasty.

The "Han people" at the head of the city, when they heard that it was the Ming army, did not say a word, and fled back to the city in fright.

With the artillery on the transport ship, Jin Hui was not ready to spend the night outside the city, and he immediately set up artillery outside the relatively open north city gate.

Seeing that the Ming army was going to attack the city, the soldiers at the head of the city immediately rushed to shell first, intending to destroy the Ming artillery outside the city one by one.

However, the Spanish artillery fired solid shells, and the threat was far lower than that of flowering shells, and the Ming army outside the city did not know the location of the Spanish artillery at all.

Within a quarter of an hour of mutual shelling, two guns were silent at the head of the city, and more than half of the Spanish artillerymen were killed and wounded by the flowering shells, and they could not even make up the number of people who fired the solid shells completely.

Seeing that the Spanish artillery could not suppress the Ming army outside the city, Gelman had to let the remaining gunners withdraw from the city, and the soldiers who were originally guarding the city also went to the city, leaving only the empty city head for the Ming army to bombard.

Seeing that the Spanish artillery had stopped firing, and thinking that the Spanish artillery had been destroyed, King gave the artillery a new combat order: "Adjust the muzzles, the target is the city wall and the city gate." ”

As if they didn't want money, they rained down on the city walls.

Gelman was still wondering in the city: "Why did the gunners of the Ming army suddenly lose their accuracy, and the good city head did not fall, why did all the flowering bullets fall on the city wall?" ”

"Boom ......"

With a loud bang, the north city wall collapsed into a hole more than ten zhang long, and the dust raised by the earthen wall when it collapsed was higher than the flowering bullets.

Gelman understood: the Ming army was going to blow up the city wall, no wonder the flowering shells did not fall on the city, but on the city wall, why was the Ming army's artillery so high?

In order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers entering the city, he extended the flowering bullet forward by 200 paces to clear the Spanish defenders near the gap in the city wall.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the Ming army was like a hungry wolf seeing a flock of sheep, shouting and rushing to the gap in the north city wall one by one.

There were no Spanish soldiers in the gap for the time being, and the Ming army was about to enter the city with a swagger as if it were a tourist.

Gelman was already convinced that outside the city was the Ming army, and he no longer expected to be able to get the Ming army's forgiveness, nor did he expect to escape from the Ming army's guns, "Organize brothers, don't let the Ming army enter the city." ”

The guard's words have affected Gelman's judgment, he has given up his intention to surrender, since he must die, it is better to have a good reputation as a martyr, maybe his wife and children can still be supported by the government.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The two armies engaged in a fierce battle at the gap in the northern wall.

The Spanish soldiers were scattered at the four city gates, plus the casualties under the Ming artillery just now, and now there are only twenty or thirty people at the gap, where can they resist the attack of the Ming army like a pack of wolves?

Although Gelman personally supervised the battle, the Spaniards fought and retreated, gradually relinquishing the gaps in the walls.

Gelman was already resolute, he took the fire # gun from one of the wounded soldiers, and shouted: "No retreat, starting with me, if we can't hold the castle, we will be martyred for Saint-Domingo, we can't be sinners in Spain." ”

The Ming army did not understand Gelman's words, although the Spanish soldiers understood the literal meaning of this sentence, but they did not know why Gelman went crazy, the Ming army was dozens of times or even hundreds of times that of them, and if the battle was unfavorable, it was really not their fault.

Without reinforcements, they were at a huge disadvantage in numbers, and the Ming army was fighting to consume them, and they could also exhaust these Spanish soldiers.

But Gelman was Spain's supreme governor in Santo Domingue and in the whole of Taiwan, and his orders were to be obeyed by the soldiers.

The soldiers who were about to retreat without permission just now were forced to shake their spirits, and they used sparse gunfire to once again block the gap in the city wall, blocking the Ming army from the city wall.

Jin Hui was furious, the city wall collapsed in large areas, and it had opened an opening for the Ming army, but his soldiers were slow to enter the city, "Grenades, use grenades, blow up these lifeless Spaniards, within a quarter of an hour, we must enter the city." ”

The Ming army untied the grenade hanging in the key room, pulled out the lead #, and threw it into the city from the gap, and they used their strength to eat milk, as if they were holding a grenade throwing contest to see who threw it far.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

A large number of grenades exploded in the breach in the city wall, instantly suppressing the fire of the soldiers of the West Tooth.

The Ming army took the opportunity to break through the gap, and the two sides began the most brutal face-to-face shooting.

The number of Ming troops is huge, the Spanish soldiers don't need to aim at all, and they can hit a Ming soldier by shooting a bullet at will, but the number of Ming soldiers is also advantageous, the hit rate of each soldier is not high, and the number of people is large, and the effective bullet that hits the Spanish soldier will still exceed the bullet fired by the Spanish soldier to the Ming army.

After all, fire#gun reloading is time-consuming.

Twenty or thirty Spanish soldiers, as if in a line, fell in front of Gelman one by one.

Gelman's face did not change, there was no expression on his grim face, and like a soldier, he did not care about anything other than loading, aiming, and shooting.

He had long been prepared to be martyred.

"Bang, bang."

Two flintlock bullets hit Gorman in the chest one after the other.

As soon as Gelman's hands were loosened, the fire # gun slowly fell to his feet, he raised his head and glared viciously at the Ming army in front of him, as if looking for who was the murderer who killed him, however, he was disappointed, there were too many Ming soldiers holding flintlock pistols, and he didn't know which flintlock pistol the bullet on his body came from.

It didn't matter, Gelman remembered, it was Ming Jun anyway, and his upper eyelids began to droop.

But Gelman turned his head slightly, wanting to glance at the soldier beside him, his lips twitching slightly, as if to explain something.

Gelman was disappointed again.

He could no longer see the Spanish soldiers, or rather, his soldiers were still there, but they had been shot earlier, lay down on the cold ground earlier, and ascended to heaven to meet the common God of his door.

The Ming army stopped shooting and switched to using waist knives to harvest the lives of wounded Spanish soldiers.

They didn't know that the one who had just fallen was Gelman, the Spanish supreme governor in Taiwan, and they didn't know that Gelman was scared to death by the Ming army at all.

If Gelman chooses to surrender, in his capacity, the Ming army will definitely surrender, at least for the time being, and will not execute him.

At the instigation of the guards, he felt that the end had come, and the Ming army would definitely kill them, so he chose to die in the city.

Jin Hui looked at the more than ten Marines lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or wounded, his anger came faster, stronger and more fierce than Zheng Xing: "Damn, these Spaniards are really all martyred? Didn't you say that Xiyi would surrender once he couldn't defeat it? Didn't the Spaniards have a tradition of surrendering? It's just a pity that these brothers ......"

"What now, Lvza?"

"What to do? Entering the city, of course. Jin Hui gritted his teeth fiercely: "If you encounter a Spaniard, whether it is a citizen or a soldier, whether you surrender or not, you will shoot them." ”

"Yes, Brigade."

While receiving the marines from the other gates into the city, Kim Hui set off a bloody storm in the city.

Because of the racial differences, it is easy to distinguish between the Han and the indigenous hired workers in the city, and the Ming army made them kneel on the ground and wait for them to fall, as long as they did not threaten the safety of the Ming army, the Ming army would not raise a butcher's knife against them.

However, the Spaniards in the city, both men and women, young and old, were all killed, and although some Spaniards also raised white flags and asked for surrender, the sky had gradually darkened, and all the Ming soldiers suffered from rare black and white blindness, so no one saw the Spanish white flag.

The sound of flintlock pistols became more and more sparse, and at dusk, it finally calmed down completely, and the Ming soldiers wiped the blood from their waist knives and put them back into their sheaths.
