Li Tianqian hurriedly persuaded on the side: "Your Majesty, please think twice, it is too dangerous to let the mortar battalion reach the city wall." ”

Luo Wei said loudly: "As long as you can defeat Manila, you will die without regrets." ”

Li Tianqian hurriedly said: "We can't take risks......"

Li Tianqian wanted to say more, Lin Fei waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, there is no need to say any more, there is a reason for me to let the mortar battalion attack closely, at this time, our howitzers are carrying out the most violent blow to the city wall, and the enemy army is so pressed by our army that they can't raise their heads, and the mortar battalion just takes this opportunity to approach the city wall." ”

Luo Wei said loudly: "Yes, this is also the reason why I took the initiative to ask Ying..."

Lin Fei stretched out his hand and patted Luo Wei on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Go ahead, bomb all the Spaniards on the city wall." ”

Luo Wei solemnly stood up and saluted, and then ran out, Lin Fei looked up into the distance, and by the light of the grenade, he saw that the soldiers of the fifteen artillery squads were all dispatched, carrying mortar parts and shells, and running towards the wall of the Spaniards.

Lin Fei's analysis was correct, the Spaniards were hiding behind the city wall, not daring to show their heads, Luo Wei and the others took this opportunity to rush to five or six hundred meters in front of the city wall.

The sound of the "rumbling" cannon shook people's ears, so Luo Wei could only give orders with gestures, Luo Wei made the gesture of "assembling mortars", and the artillerymen immediately put down the parts of the mortar, and assembled the barrels, seat plates and brackets, Luo Wei grasped the training of the artillerymen very tightly, so the mortars were quickly assembled, and the artillery squad leader gave Luo Wei a gesture of preparation.

The artillerymen were very close to the enemy and were facing the enemy, so Luo Wei could not unify his command as usual, so he could only make gestures to let each artillery squad shoot freely, and then shouted at the artillery squad next to him at the top of his throat: "Brothers, the first shell must be accurate, if it is not accurate, the enemy's bullets will come back." ”

There is no need for Luo Wei to say that the artillerymen also understand this truth, so they all aim with all their strength, and then fire the shells, fortunately, the distance is relatively close, and the artillerymen are highly skilled, so the first wave of shells almost fell on the city and exploded on the city.

The Spanish soldiers were lying behind the battlements of the city walls, dodging the cannonballs and bullets flying from the front, but they did not expect that there were shells exploding behind them, and in the flames of the explosion, one by one the Spaniards were lifted up, fell under the city, broke their bones, and died on the spot.

The Spaniards deployed breech guns at the head of the city, and the shells were piled aside, and the mortar shells detonated these shells, and the violent explosion killed more Spanish soldiers, and the city was full of dead bodies and blood for a while.

Lin Fei saw the fire on the top of the city, and a figure flew out of the firelight, knowing that Luo Wei's cannonballs had caused a lot of damage to the enemy, so he said loudly: "Order the first regiment, all of them attack, and capture the gap..."

Liu Jun, the commander of the first regiment, couldn't wait, and after receiving Lin Fei's order, he rushed up with people, and the first regiment did not rush to the gap in a daze, because the gap was only more than fifty meters long, while the first regiment had more than 1,000 people.

Therefore, the first regiment dispersed the troops, the first battalion directly attacked the gap, and the second and third battalions attacked the city walls on both sides of the gap, this tactic was also arranged by Lin Fei himself, Lin Fei also ordered the engineer battalion to make ladders for the troops to use, and the second and third battalions will use ladders to climb up to the top of the city and cover the troops attacking the gap from both wings.

Due to the long range of the enemy's fire prevention force, the attack of the first regiment was launched at a distance of 800 meters, and it took about two minutes for the troops to rush through the distance of 800 meters, and the victory or defeat of the battle was determined within these two minutes.

However, the defenders at the head of the city did not concentrate their forces to kill and wound the infantry of Lin Fei's troops, but aimed their guns at Luo Wei's mortar battalion, several Spanish soldiers pushed the Makqin heavy machine gun cart in front of the artillery battalion, pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the ground in front of an artillery squad, splashing pieces of dust, the machine gunner immediately adjusted the angle of fire, and the bullet pounced on the artillery squad like a fierce snake, the launcher and sighter were killed on the spot, and the ammunition loader behind was also killed several times.

Just when the artillery was hit, a long line of bullets hit the wall of the Spaniards, it turned out that it was Lin Fei's Makqin heavy machine gun began to cover the shooting, the Spaniards hurriedly pushed the heavy machine gun to divert the firing point to avoid the bullets, Luo Wei took advantage of this time, ordered his subordinates to disassemble the mortar as quickly as possible, and withdraw to the team.

During the time when the artillery battalion was withdrawn, the infantry rushed to a place about four hundred meters away from the city wall, just now Lin Fei's troops were attacking with a company, but now it was a regiment, when a company attacked, from the city wall, it was just a few people, and a regiment was overwhelming, so the Spaniards were panicked.

There was another thing that made the Spaniards even more afraid, that is, the ladders carried by the second and third battalions, the Spaniards couldn't see what the ladders were from a distance, and they thought that the Chinese Empire had a brand new weapon, so the panic was even worse, and some Spanish soldiers immediately started to run away.

In previous battles, Spanish soldiers had always fled, and officers and overseers had not been able to control them all, but this time Governor Sanders gave the officers a death order...... Whoever escapes from the troops, the officers are all shot for "battlefield dereliction of duty", so this time the officers stared at the soldiers with wide eyes.

Several Spanish soldiers put the idea of escape into action, and were killed by the officers on the spot, and the others, seeing this, also dispelled the idea of running away and began to shoot at the soldiers of Lin Fei's troops.

The bullets knocked down one soldier after another, and the blood-stained earth splashed the bodies and faces of the soldiers behind, but the soldiers behind had no fear, stepped over the corpses of their companions, stepped on the blood of their companions, and continued to rush forward, seeing that the eyes of the Spaniards were straight, and they exclaimed, the soldiers of the Chinese Empire must not be people, they were the evil spirits summoned by Lin Fei from the grave...

The three battalions rushed to the front of the gap at the same time, and the second and third battalions immediately began to attack the city according to the predetermined plan.

This tactic is first composed of a light warrior sitting at the front of the ladder, and when the person behind lifts the ladder, he directly sends the soldier to the head of the city, this method of warfare is not uncommon in the ancient cold weapon war, and the ancient army even has a building car higher than the city wall, directly close to the city wall, and sends the soldiers to the city.

The ladder siege group came to the side of the city wall, more than a dozen warriors worked together to lift the ladder and send the front warrior to the city, in the process, the warriors on both sides shot at the head of the city, covering the warriors who raised the ladder, the city wall was only six meters high, so the bullets could easily hit the city, the Spanish soldiers were suppressed by the fire, and no one dared to bend down to shoot.

When the front soldier was raised, he immediately shot at the enemy troops on the city, and a group of soldiers were knocked to the ground, the Spanish soldiers did not expect that Lin Fei's troops had such a "trick" in the siege of the city, and for a while the wolf bèi fled, and the soldiers of Lin Fei's troops immediately rushed to the city.

At the same time as the second and third battalions were attacking the city, the first battalion concentrated its forces to attack the gap, the gap had been blown into a gentle slope more than three meters high at this time, and the soldiers could climb up.

The second and third battalions had already occupied the advantage of the city at this time, they immediately opened fire on the houses, they also used grenadiers, grenades flew towards the houses, and the flames rose in the houses, and the Spanish officers stationed there were really bloody, seeing that they were so suppressed by Lin Fei's troops, they gave a decisive order, rushed to the gap, and fought hand-to-hand with Lin Fei's troops.

The Spanish soldiers rushed out like wolves, because the houses were relatively close to the gap, so they quickly rushed into Lin Fei's troops and started hand-to-hand combat, the gap was narrow, and the bayonet fighting tactics of Lin Fei's troops could not be used, and the two sides were inseparable for a while.

At the command post in Manila, Governor Sanders was roaring angrily: "Damn Claros, didn't he promise me that the Chinese Empire would not attack again?" What's going on? ”

Nacolino on the side hurriedly said: "Lord Governor, now is not the time to scold the British, the Chinese pigs are attacking the gap, if they are allowed to attack Manila, the consequences will be unimaginable, please send reinforcements immediately." ”

Governor Sanders nodded heavily and said, "Order the general reserve in the city to attack the breach." ”

After receiving the order, the general reserve immediately rushed to the gap, and when it arrived, it happened to encounter a fierce battle between Lin Fei's troops and the defenders, and the general reserve immediately pounced, with the addition of this new force, Lin Fei's troops suddenly fell into a disadvantage, and the first battalion of troops that had entered the city was actually driven out of the gap.

Lin Fei was keenly aware of this, he waved his hand to call Wang Siqi, the commander of the second regiment, to the front, and ordered loudly: "Wang Siqi, you lead the troops to me." Lin Fei said and pointed to both sides of the gap with his hand, and said: "When you are attacking, don't directly pounce on the gap, use the tactics of cloud ladder siege to attack the two wings of the city, and then together with the second and third battalions of the first regiment, capture the city head and encircle the defenders at the gap." ”

Wang Siqi replied loudly: "Understood..."

Lin Fei nodded heavily, and then said in a deep voice: "Wang Siqi, you remember for me, don't report any casualties to me, I just want Manila..."
