Seeing this, Diego couldn't help but perk up, and then shouted, "Hold on, everyone, the Governor has come to save us." ”

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope rose again in the desperate hearts of those Spanish soldiers.

Just hold on a little longer, and they'll be able to live.

So they gathered their spirits again and prepared to fight the enemy.

"I knew they would."

Wu Weizhong said with a sneer.

With a twinkle in his eyes, he said a few words to a general.

The general nodded, and soon mounted his horse with all the other muskeoners, and charged towards the right flank of the Spanish infantry phalanx in a whirlwind.

When they arrived, they dismounted their horses, lined up in six rows, and strode towards the Spanish infantry phalanx.

At this time, in addition to the front, the Mongolian cavalry from three other directions also began to charge.

Seeing this, the few remaining Spanish musketeers hurriedly prepared to shoot.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The Spanish phalanx resounded with the roar of muskets, and as soon as they fired the pellets from the muskets, the musketeers retreated.

Because their numbers are already small, they simply cannot form a continuous fire.

More than two dozen charging Mongol cavalrymen were accidentally shot. Then he fell from his horse hard.

The other Mongol cavalry continued to charge, and they passed them like flowing water, throwing javelins behind the enemy phalanx. Bypassing the enemy forces and rushing into the distance.

"Ahh

"Ahh

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Immediately the Spanish infantry phalanx resounded with screams one after another.

Javelins were far more powerful than bows and arrows, and Spanish armor could not stop these thrown javelins.

The javelins easily pierced through their armor and pierced their bodies.

Some of the Spanish infantrymen were not even hit by one javelin, but were pierced through the body by two or three javelins at the same time, and died no more.

Seeing this, even Diego was extremely frightened, and he knew that whether he could survive at this time was not based on courage and tactics. It's all about luck.

Soon more than 1,500 Mongol cavalrymen threw javelins into the Spanish infantry phalanx, killing and wounding nearly 200 Spanish soldiers.

Then they regrouped in the distance. Prepare for a second charge.

With the exception of Jebel, he picked up his bow and arrows and aimed them at the musketeers in Spain. It only took a short time to shoot the remaining musketeers in the phalanx.

Seeing the soldiers around him who had been pierced by javelins, Diego turned pale with fright and trembled, not even knowing that his pants were wet.

The rest of the Spanish soldiers were no better, and they were all scared and swaying.

If it weren't for the enemy's cavalry on all sides, they might have fled.

At this moment, the firecrackers in both directions strode forward at the same time.

They were getting closer and closer to the Spanish soldiers, and the enemy was no longer out of musketeers. There is simply no threat to them.

&nb step, 5o step, 4o step......

They were even able to see each other's faces very clearly.

"Kill! Kill them! Can't let them go any further! ”

Diego said horrified.

But where did those Spanish soldiers still have the courage to charge. In this case, it is already a blessing that they do not collapse.

They all huddled together desperately, hoping that the people around them would give them a sense of security.

Only a dozen or so men listened to Diego and charged forward with spears in hand.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The musketeers in the front row opened fire, and the charging pikemen were shattered to pieces by the dense projectiles, and then vomited blood and died.

Even the Spanish soldiers behind were killed more than forty of them.

Forty paces is definitely a distance that can fully exert the power of the musket, and not only the accuracy of the musket is greatly improved during this distance. And the power of the projectile is also very high.

Even wearing heavy armor could not withstand the damage of projectiles, and anyone who was hit would be killed alive. No exceptions.

The first row of musketeers immediately retreated, followed by another row of musketeers.

Without the threat of enemy musketeers, they no longer fired in three rows, but in a single row.

So a nine-dan shot was formed on one side, and a six-dan shot on the other.

The continuous stream of projectiles hit the dense Spanish soldiers, setting off a bloody storm among the remaining soldiers.

One after another, the Spanish soldiers fell to the ground spitting blood after being hit by the projectile, and some of them knew that they would not survive, so they rushed forward with red eyes, hoping to kill one of them.

But before he could take a few steps, he was beaten into a sieve by the rain of bullets.

It's just a round of time, and there are no Spaniards who can stand up anymore.

Even Diego was hit by several buckshot bullets and vomited blood.

Wu Weizhong immediately ordered all the musketeers to stop firing.

Seeing this, the Mongol cavalry immediately rushed forward to check if any Spaniards were playing dead.

Some of them used their spears to replenish the Spaniards, while others took control of their horses and stepped directly on their corpses.

This temptation really led to a few Spaniards who pretended to be dead.

A few of them couldn't dodge and were directly trampled to death by the horses.

The other two rolled to the side, avoiding the horses that wanted to step on them.

But the Mongol cavalry behind them sneered, and then accelerated towards them.

Before they got up. The spear stabbed into their bodies fiercely.

After a period of chaos, only corpses remained.

By this time, about 800 Spanish soldiers outside the city had already formed a rank. Led by Alonso personally, he moved forward with several artillery pieces.

Alonso knew that they could not be an enemy without artillery support, so he insisted on bringing artillery.

Halfway through, I saw the total destruction of Spain.

Seeing this, Aaron couldn't help but tremble with anger.

This is the death of more than 500 soldiers, in the history of the empire's foreign colonization. This is definitely a non-tragic casualty.

The rest of the Spanish soldiers were also pale, and the enemy on the opposite side was too fierce.

"What should we do?"

Igot whispered to Alonso, who was not good-looking.

All this Ming army has already ridden their war horses. Then they formed a wide half-moon shape facing him.

Seeing this, Alonso hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Since the people are dead, let's withdraw first." ”

Iggott nodded as well. He was also frightened a lot today, and he felt that he needed to go back to comfort his wounded heart.

So the Spanish infantry began to slowly retreat and continued to retreat towards the city.

Seeing this, Wu Weizhong breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and he did not order the soldiers to go in pursuit.

The enemy was not far from the city walls and could be supported by the artillery at the head of the city, and in such a situation it was completely thankless to attack the intruders, so he did not order the soldiers to attack.

After the truce between the two sides, Alonso immediately sent someone to negotiate peace again.

This battle was a battle for Alonso to understand. These people in front of him are very strong, at least not the little force in his hands can deal with.

Chen Qingzhi was dismissive of this, but on the one hand, he severely condemned Spain's unauthorized attack on the Ming army.

On the other hand, Alonso's request was rejected. They were asked to hand over those pirates who participated in the robbery and make reparations.

Chen Qingzhi of course did not say a word about their attack on the Spanish settlement outside Manila.

After Chen Qingzhi sent 10,000 troops to surround Manila, he sent 20,000 land and water troops to clear the vicinity of Manila.

Two indigenous armies responded to Alonso's call and sent more than 9ooo indigenous armies to assemble here.

But after encountering Chen Qingzhi's cavalry, a one-sided massacre occurred.

After a flurry of guns and artillery fire, the native army collapsed completely.

Then the Mongol cavalry began to chase and kill. After a burst of slashing, behead 9ooo Yu level.

As for the Ming army, two people were killed. Fifteen people were wounded.

The disparity in proportions is staggering.

After taking down these two indigenous armies, under the leadership of the Lin family, Chen Qingzhi sent a large army to carry out a large-scale cleanup of the nearby natives.

In the face of the powerful military power of the Ming army, those natives had no resistance at all.

Clusters of indigenous settlements were wiped out by the Ming army, and those who were either killed or captured in battle, except for a few who fled into the jungle or the mountains.

But his army did not stop, but after a short rest, he continued to march into the depths of Luzon, and this time LΓΌyan was going to sweep the whole of Luzon.

Chen Qingyi sent people to load some captive natives on ships and prepare to transport them to Taiwan.

On the one hand, some of the captives were regrouped and prepared to build a castle here.

In addition to exterminating the natives and Spaniards, he also had to prepare houses and food for the subsequent distribution of the natives here.

Of course, the food was readily available, and with the abundance of banana and pineapple trees in Luzon, it was hard to starve to death.

Those Southeast Asian natives are lazy and eat bananas when there is no food, and their lives are much happier than those of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to this, they also found a village of Japanese people gathered near Marani, with a population of at least 10,000.

It is now the period of great exploration of the Wa Kingdom, and there are an estimated 100,000 Wa people in the entire South Seas.

So he also unceremoniously sent troops to attack this Japanese village, and in the face of the muskets and cannons of the Ming Dynasty, those Japanese people began to resist to the end.

But after killing hundreds of people, they surrendered one after another.

For these Japanese people, Wu Weizhong both dislikes and likes.

What disgusted was that the Japanese invaded the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty for many years, causing great harm to the Ming Dynasty.

What I like is that the Japanese people are down-to-earth and hardworking, at least the work is much better than the lazy Nanyang natives.

Chen Qingzhi and Wu Weizhong discussed for a while, and decided to castrate all the male Japanese and send them to Taiwan as slaves, where a large number of slaves were needed for large-scale development, and these Japanese slaves would definitely be able to show their style there.

As for the female widows, they were enslaved by the sergeants who were preparing to be stationed in Luzon.

LΓΌ Yan intends to occupy Luzon for a long time, and of course to garrison troops here will even allow them to settle down here.

After these female widows were sent into slavery with them, they were considered part of the family.

In addition to this, they also collected a large amount of gold and silver treasures, according to Lu Yan's orders.

In foreign wars, half of all the treasures were handed over to the treasury, two percent to the officers, and three percent to the sergeants.

Chen Qingzhi considered that the morale of the army expedition overseas was not high, so he immediately sent the gold and silver down.

After receiving the stimulation of this gold and silver, the morale of the army really rose.

You must know that there is no such treatment in the internal war, even if a large amount of gold and silver is captured, all must be handed over.

Now that the enemy is not only extremely weak, but also able to receive additional rewards, the morale of those sergeants has certainly increased.

At that time, it was precisely under this continuous reward that the Mongol army was willing to launch a continuous expedition to the west.

In this way, Lu Yan's expeditionary force was busy for more than ten days.

Although they surrounded Manila, they did not attack Manila, but focused their efforts on clearing out nearby tribes.

After clearing the nearby tribes, a fleet carrying more than 50,000 Japanese and Nanyang captives went to Taiwan, and Chen Qingzhi finally launched an attack on Manila.
