When the news of the rout of the Spanish fleet reached Manila, Governor Corquila's face turned pale.

He knew that the overall strength of the Spanish fleet was inferior to that of the Zheng family, but he didn't expect that the gap would be so big.

Only 5 of the 32 search ships escaped in the end.

Without the fleet, Manila was like an isolated city, without foreign aid.

Corquela shouted at Lieutenant Torres with red eyes: "Lieutenant, you immediately rush to the fort and strengthen the defense line, you must not let those pirates of the Zheng family rush into Manila City!" ”

Torres was embarrassed and said, "Your Excellency, time is so tight that we can't find suitable wood and stone to reinforce it for a while. ”

Coqueira yelled at Torres, "At this time, what else do you care. Without stone and wood, you can tear down the houses of the natives and so on. ”

After a pause, Corquela gritted his teeth and said, "If necessary, tear down the merchants' houses!" “

Torres heard the busy shout: "Yes! “

Soon Torres and hundreds of soldiers hurriedly demolished the houses of the natives and transported them to the forts, where they were reinforced and thickened.

The Spanish army in Luzon was only more than 1,000, and the governor Coquet led more than 600 troops stationed at the castle in Manila, with five remaining warships on the sea.

On the battery not far from the harbor was Torres with four hundred men in the defense.

A large number of warships and ships also arrived in the bay of Manila.

Seeing the arrival of the Zheng fleet, the arrogant Spanish colonists attempted to attack both at sea and on land, defeating the unstable Zheng army in one fell swoop.

With the largest Cook, they led five warships to fire at Zheng's ships with their artillery.

At the same time, the artillery on the batteries also opened fire on the Zheng fleet.

Seeing this situation, Huang Wu did not resist.

After the defeat of the Spanish fleet, Huang Wu knew that Manila was a turtle in an urn and was not worth fighting with the name of a soldier.

In order to better understand the terrain of Manila, Huang Wu sent people to find Lin Zhaojun back.

Let him lead a few Chinese who are familiar with the sea conditions in Manila to guide the fleet around the forts in Manila, find a few suitable places, and use sand boats to transport the rattan armor soldiers to land.

With the assistance of a few hundred Chinese on the island, two thousand warriors had set foot on Luzon soil in less than two hours.

Xu Long led 20 lucky ships to wave their flags and shout as an offensive battery. Yang Xiang led 500 rattan players around the rear of the fort to flank the left flank.

Hearing the sound of muskets coming from behind, Torres realized that an enemy was coming.

Torres hurriedly mobilized 200 soldiers to resist Yang Xiang's troops, and the Spanish soldiers were in a row of 12 and fired three rows of guns.

To their surprise, more than a hundred soldiers at the head of the Zheng Jiajun actually carried a rectangular iron shield on their heads, slowly advancing like an iron wall;

The Spanish musket struck the iron shield, and with a bang, it was blocked by the thick iron shield.

Killing closely, Yang Xiangbu came out from behind and smashed into the fort like a bamboo.

The Spanish soldiers were completely replaced by fear, and many dropped their guns before they even opened fire on the enemy. They fled in the wilderness.

Seeing that the rattan armor soldiers on the shore had already succeeded, Zheng Jiajun took advantage of the situation to attack on all fronts.

The Zheng family's fleet was not polite at this time, and hundreds of warships, including the Fu boat, violently shelled the five remaining warships of the Spanish fleet.

Soon, under the siege of the Zheng family, the Spanish fleet was blown up and sunk three ships, and one was destroyed, and only one of the rearmost warships saw the opportunity quickly and hurriedly waved the white flag, so it was spared.

Lieutenant Torres and his more than 300 men were all killed", and the remaining 80 or so soldiers fled back to Manila to report the attack to Governor Corquila.

Hearing that the fort had missed, Coqueira, who had hoped to rely on the fort to hold on, panicked at this point.

Sitting in a chair and not knowing what to do?

After taking the fort, Huang Wu ordered Guan Yu and 16 lock ships to continue to patrol around the sea, and under the transportation of Fu ships and sand boats, Huang Wu boarded Manila with 8,000 sailors.

Seeing that at this time, the Spanish governor Coqueira still refused to surrender, Huang Wu ordered the soldiers to each hold a bunch of grass and pile it under the Manila castle, and at the same time sent Lin Zhaojun to issue an ultimatum to the Spanish governor Coqueira, if he did not surrender, he would set fire to the city.

Looking at the extremely arrogant Chinese sitting in front of him, Governor Coqueira gritted his teeth with hatred. In the past, these Chinese people stood in front of them, always looking timid and weak, as long as they were a little louder, they could be scared to kneel down immediately.

Now he dared to sit in a chair and look up at himself with his head held high.

This group of damned Chinese should have killed them all in the first place!

Looking at the Spanish governor Coquela who was angry in front of him, Lin Zhaojun was happy, you robbers also have today.

Lin Zhaojun deliberately made a provocative appearance, what he hoped was that it would be best for the governor to kill him, so that there would be no possibility of reconciliation between Spain and the Zheng family.

In that case, all the Spanish on Luzon Island may be killed by the Zheng soldiers, and those Chinese who died in vain can finally take revenge.

Unlike now, although the executioners have been punished, the biggest offender may have escaped.

This made Lin Zhaojun very dissatisfied, so he took the initiative to ask to come to announce.

Just hoping to provoke Coquilla.

The situation is not as good as people, no matter how dissatisfied Coqueira is, he can only endure it, and said in a cold voice: "As long as Zheng Jiaken agrees that we will leave Manila safely by boat with all our belongings, I will agree to your request!" ”

Lin Zhaojun sneered, and then immediately said with a straight face: "Impossible! Our adults have said that they will only give up a boat for you to leave with your people. Or you will leave your lives behind! ”

Hearing this, Coquela blushed and glared at Lin Zhaojun angrily, and shouted: "Don't bully people too much, force us into a hurry, we will fight to the death!" ”

Hearing Coquela's cruel words, Lin Zhaojun immediately stood up and shouted, "Okay, it turns out that Mr. Governor has this plan, and I will return to our lords." See you on the battlefield! ”

Seeing Lin Zhaojun raise his feet and leave, Coqueira, who was originally angry, suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly pulled out Lin Zhaojun and shouted: "Slow, slow, this envoy, I was just dizzy and talking nonsense." You must not take it seriously, it is good to discuss, it is easy to discuss! ”

Coquilla grabbed Lin Zhaojun and didn't let him go. After a pause, he said, "There are too few boats for our people to fit." At the very least, give five boats! ”

Seeing that Lin Zhaojun was indifferent, Coqueilla panicked and pleaded: "Three, just three, no less!" ”

……

Seeing that the Zheng family was determined to swallow Manila alive this time, the governor of Luzon, Coquela, was like being drained of blood, lying on the ground and crying: "One is one ship!" I hope you keep your promise and keep me safe! ”

Corquela gave his Manila register and all his military supplies, and he fled back to Spain with the wealth he had accumulated over the years loaded on a Clark sailboat, leaving all his soldiers as prisoners of war. (To be continued.) )
