As soon as Raceno had given this order, a scout ran out to reconnoitre, and in a short time the scout came back and said, "Report to the General, on the way to Mount Santai you have found a group of Moros!" ”

Raceno sneered and said, "As I expected, the Moro people are really back!" How many of them are there? ”

The scout hesitated for a moment, and this small action was seen by Raceno, who said angrily, "What's the matter? Can't even figure out the number of people? ”

"They had a long line, it was too dark to see accurately, and I estimated their number to be around 1,500," said the scout. ”

Raceno thought for a moment and said, "Since the number of enemy troops is not very clear, then we should send more troops, so that we can be invincible, and pass on my order to send out four battalions and two thousand troops to intercept the army of the Moros in the middle of the road." ”

The herald was just about to leave, when a wise man approached Raceno and said cautiously: "Your Excellency, I don't think these people are Moro. ”

Racheno frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Not a Moro? Why? ”

The thinker said: "Tonight the Holy Terrace was first shelled, and then there were infantry attacks on the Holy Terrace, and it is obvious that the artillery and infantry attacks were under the command of the same commander, but how can the Moros have artillery?" So the people who attacked Mount Santai were not necessarily Moros. ”

Racherno thought for a moment and said, "Who else could it be if it's not a Moro?" ”

The think tank hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Could it be someone from the Huaxia Empire?" ”

Then the scout spoke on the side: "General Racheno, I read that right, these men are all dressed in Moro robes and have torches in their hands, exactly like the Moros we have seen before. ”

Raceno looked at the think tank and said with a smile: "Mount Shengtai is very close to us, and it is easy to be found when marching with torches, so it is taboo to march with torches, this army doesn't even understand this, it is obviously a Moro who has no combat quality, this time you can rest assured, right?" ”

The think tank nodded, bowed his head and said nothing, Racheno looked at the herald and said, "Go and deliver the order." ”

The herald gave the order, and as soon as the east gate of Zamboanga opened, four battalions of Spaniards came out of it and walked in the direction of the Moro army, where they soon saw a long dense line of fire in the woods.

The four battalions quietly dispersed and moved towards the Moro, and at that moment the fires in the woods were extinguished one by one, and then the flames were completely gone, and the Spanish army was surprised, wondering how the Moros had extinguished all the torches.

At this moment, only a gunshot was heard from the woods, and the Spanish soldiers closest to the woods were knocked down, and then I saw an unknown number of people jumping out of the woods, rushing towards the Spanish army, the guns in the hands of these people were firing extremely fast, and the first and second battalions of the Spanish army were quickly rushed into chaos.

The four battalions of the Spanish army were lined up in a line, the first and second battalions were in the front, the third and fourth battalions followed closely behind, the first and second battalions were in disarray, and the rebels rushed into the formation of the third battalion, and the commander of the third battalion saw that the enemy was rushing out of the woods, thinking that he had been ambushed, and immediately ordered the troops to retreat in the direction of Zamboanga.

The four battalions dispatched by the Spanish army did not have a unified commander, which was also the light enemy of Racherno, who knew that the Moros did not have many guns, and they used broadswords, spears and wooden clubs, and it would be a piece of cake for their own troops to clean them up, so let the four battalions fight separately, and in tonight's battle, the Spanish army could only swallow the bitter fruit of "no unified command".

The 3rd Battalion retreated to Zamboanga, but the 4th Battalion rushed into the woods under the leadership of the battalion commander, and the 3rd and 4th Battalions collided together, interfering with each other, and the Spanish army was in chaos.

The Spanish army was in chaos, and Lin Fei's troops on the opposite side were even more chaotic!

Before Lin Fei ordered his troops to march disguised as Muslims, he thought of several possible countermeasures for the Spaniards, including the Spanish army, relying on their guns, directly into the woods and fighting his troops in hand-to-hand night battles.

Lin Fei instructed his officers that if the Spaniards fought a hand-to-hand night battle with them, they should boldly disrupt the troop establishment, carry forward the characteristics of the "four-three system" combat group being mobile and flexible, the soldiers being equipped with automatic rifles and grenades, and having powerful firepower.

So Lin Fei's troops were directly dispersed into several battle groups, and directly charged in the formation of the Spaniards, this kind of tactical play appeared for the first time in this era, no one had ever seen it, let alone the Spaniards, so the first and second battalions were directly disrupted.

The three battalions that wanted to retreat were caught up by Lin Fei's troops and were disrupted; The firepower of the four battalions that wanted to attack was inferior to Lin Fei's troops, and the formation was also disrupted, and the entire Spanish army was completely reduced to a plate of scattered sand.

With numerous casualties among the Spanish army, some people fled into Zamboanga in a hurry, bringing back the news of the attack.

At this time, Raceno was standing in the command post, quietly looking out the window, listening to the dense gunfire of "bang, bang", and laughed at his subordinates: "Did you hear that?" My troops are destroying the Moros. ”

At this moment, the adjutant ran in and said: "General Racheno, no, our troops are under attack by enemy troops. ”

Racheno's heart trembled, and he asked in exclamation, "What's the matter?" How could it be attacked by enemy troops? ”

The adjutant said: "Someone has fled back from the battlefield, and the news came back from them. ”

Raceno hurriedly asked, "What about the people who have returned?" Hurry up and let him come to me. ”

The adjutant ran out as he agreed, and soon brought in a lieutenant officer, and Raceno asked directly, "What's the matter?" ”

The lieutenant said with trepidation: "The group of Moros had guns, guns with a very fast rate of fire, and as soon as we met them, we rushed out of the woods, and they rushed so hard that our troops were scattered......"

"Wait! You say they have guns with a fast rate of fire? Is it true? Racheno interrupted the lieutenant officer with a wave of his hand and asked.

"Yes General! Their guns were firing fast, snapping, snapping, snapping, one after another, as if they couldn't stop! ”

When Raceno heard the lieutenant's officer's words, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and he took two steps back, leaning on the table so that he did not fall, and the wise man hurriedly approached to support Raceno, and asked with concern: "General, what's wrong with you?" ”

Raceno said in a trembling voice: "The people of the Chinese Empire, they are the people of the Chinese Empire, only the people of the Chinese Empire have that kind of gun!" ”

The Thinker asked, "But our scouts see that they are Moroches!" ”

Raceno said helplessly: "Lin Fei, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, is scheming, he must have let his subordinates pretend to be Moro and deliberately lure us to the bait!" ”

The thinker asked, "So what do we do now?" ”

Racello hurriedly said: "Go and give the order at once, let the troops of the four battalions withdraw, and then hold in the city, hurry up, hurry!" Be quick! ”

The herald agreed and ran out, and at this moment, the telephone on the table rang "belling", and the voice was like a spell urging life, and the heart trembled when he heard it, and the thinker picked up the phone and said, "This is the command post, what is the matter?" ”

"Report to General Racheno, I am the captain of the garrison at the south gate of the city, and a large number of unknown troops suddenly appeared at the south gate, and it seems that they are preparing to attack the city!"

The microphone was very loud, Raceno heard it very clearly, he snatched the microphone and ordered in a loud voice: "Hold it for me, hold it at any cost, if you let one person in, I will be the first to shoot you!" ”

Ferrauer said pitifully: "General Rachero, I need reinforcements, my troops here are not enough. ”

Raceno said: "I will transfer all the defenders from other places to you, you must defend me, understand?" ”

Ferrauer said repeatedly: "I understand, I understand. ”

Raceno put down the phone, then grabbed it again, and shouted: "Pick up the North Gate garrison for me, ...... quickly."

Racello mobilized the defenders of the north and west gates to the south gate, and on the battlefield at this time, the Spanish army in the east was retreating, and was shot by Lin Fei's troops while retreating; The Spanish army at the south gate was fighting with all its might to deal with the attack, and Raceno prayed silently: "God forbid, don't let the people of the Chinese Empire attack in!" ”

Twenty minutes later, suddenly there was an explosion faintly in the southwest of the city, and Raceno remembered for a moment the destruction of the walls of Cotabato, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart, and then the phone rang suddenly, and Raceno grabbed the microphone, only to hear Ferrauer crying inside: "General Rachero, the wall in the southwest has been blown out of a big hole......"

Raceno let go of his hand in surprise, the microphone fell on the table with a "dang", the most terrible thing happened, the matter of Cotabato was repeated, Raceno seemed to be drained of all his strength, he stared blankly ahead, without saying a word, the room was very quiet, only the voice of "General Raceno, General Raceno, what should we do" kept coming from the microphone.

It turned out that it was Lin Fei's engineer company that blew up the city wall, Lin Fei ordered Niu Dalong and Niu Dahu to lead their troops to the city wall at the same time, and at the same time ordered Qin Xiren to lead the engineer company to approach the city wall under the cover of the dark night and plant explosives.

The trinitrotoluene explosives used by the engineer company are very powerful, so there is no need to bury too many explosives, it didn't take much time to bury the explosives and blow up the city wall.
