"Didn't you say that the Spaniards' shore forts were abandoned? How come there are so many cannons? Niu Meng said in surprise. If it weren't for Wei Yong's caution and failure to kill directly to the shore, the Xinhua Army would have suffered a big loss this time.

"Uncle Niu, these cannons are all small-caliber artillery! Most likely, the artillery that the Spaniards temporarily replaced! It is estimated that they used it to replace the naval guns on the battleship! However, they want to organize us with these cannons, which is simply delusional! In a maximum of an hour, we can destroy these cannons! Wei Yong said confidently.

Manila's coastal forts are old-fashioned forts, which are just a platform made of stones on the shore and then cannons are deployed on them, without any protection at all. Moreover, these cannons were basically 6-pounder or 9-pounder guns, and the 12-pounder and 18-pounder guns were very few, and the total number was less than 100. Because of the range, the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy, which is three kilometers away from the shore, is very safe! It was completely possible to destroy the Spaniards' coastal fortifications unscathed.

The First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy and the shore defense batteries in Manila engaged in a fierce artillery battle. It's just that, from the very beginning of the battle, the Spaniards were completely at a disadvantage. The warships of the Xinhua Navy were almost out of range of the Spaniards' cannons, which made the Spaniards nothing more than a waste of shells. The navy of the new Chinese kingdom was different, and once the shells accurately hit the battery, it would cause heavy losses to the Spaniards.

Brigadier General Emiles, who was the commander of Manila's defense, stayed in a safe place, watching the fierce artillery battle between the two sides with binoculars. Seeing that his artillery was blown up under the shelling of the Xinhua Army, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the artillery was blown into twists, while the battleships of the Xinhua Army seemed to be at ease. This feeling is very embarrassing. If Commodore Emily was still a little incredulous about the total annihilation of the Luzon fleet before, then now, after personally fighting the Xinhua Army, he really understands the strength of the Xinhua Army!

"Those damn yellow-skinned monkeys, they've been hiding out of our range, they won't dare to fight us in a grand battle!" Major General Emmels roared angrily. Of course, this is nothing more than angry talk. In other words, if he had an advantage in weapons, he would definitely adopt this tactic that would not cause any casualties to his own side. After all, on the battlefield, in order to defeat the enemy, it is often necessary to do anything! As long as you can beat your opponent, no matter what way you do, it's reasonable!

Manila's shore defense batteries are at a complete disadvantage. One after another, the batteries were uprooted by the navy of the Xinhua Army. Everyone knows that when these batteries are all wiped out by the navy of the Xinhua Army, it will be time for the Xinhua Army to land on a large scale!

"Inform the 3rd Regiment to enter positions and prepare to fend off the attack of those yellow-skinned monkeys!" Brigadier General Emile commanded. At this moment, he no longer had much hope for the shore defense battery. The landing of the Xinhua Army has become inevitable, so what he has to do is to destroy more Xinhua troops after the landing of the Xinhua Army, so that no matter how powerful the navy of the Xinhua Army is, the warships will never be able to sail to the shore. Therefore, it is the infantry that decides the final victory!

At the time of the naval defense artillery of Spain in the navy of the Xinhua Army, the people in Manila were anxiously waiting, as if waiting for the judgment of fate. The Spaniards prayed to the god of the Divine Republic that the Spanish army would be able to defeat the damned yellow-skinned monkeys and defend the interests of Spain. It's just that in the East here, perhaps God can't hear their prayers. The situation on the battlefield was very unfavorable for the Spaniards. As for those natives, they also hoped in their hearts that the Spaniards would be able to defeat the Xinhua army. After all, when the Spaniards ruled, they could still bully the Chinese. If the Xinhua army defeated the Spaniards, the Chinese became the rulers of the land. Then the life of these natives will be even more difficult. The few Chinese in Manila all hope that the Xinhua Army will be able to get Spanish as soon as possible, so that they can also straighten their waists!

At 11:30 a.m., the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy had destroyed the shore defense batteries in Manila. Artillery fire began to extend to the beach, and some shells fell into the city of Manila. When the first cannonball exploded in the city, causing a fire to open up in a wooden hut, the Spaniards in the city felt as if they were dead. The Xinhua army has begun to shell the city of Manila, doesn't this mean that the war has begun to spread to the city? The coastal defense batteries outside the city must have been destroyed by the Chinese, otherwise, they would not have wasted firepower at this time!

In the Governor's Palace, Governor Anthony Pedro's face also lost its blood all at once. In just one hour, the coastal defense battery was destroyed, which shows the strength of the Xinhua Army. Despite the hasty rest, Brigadier General Emiles had assured Governor Anthony Pedro that the fort would last at least three days!

The expressions on the faces of the indigenous residents in the city are also a little complicated. In their opinion, the shells fell into the city of Manila, which meant that the Spaniards were completely at a disadvantage. The rulers of Manila will be replaced by those Chinese, and although this makes them very unwilling, they can't do anything about it. Even the Spaniards are no match for the Chinese, so where do they have the courage to oppose the Chinese? The Xinhua Army's wanton massacre of the natives in Mindanao made these natives in Luzon also feel uneasy and did not dare to offend the Chinese, so as to create an excuse for the Xinhua Army to attack them!

Mona is a native of Manila whose home is located in the slums of Manila. In fact, most of Manila's urban areas are slums where these local indigenous people live. The Chinese and Spaniards live in wealthy areas. The Spaniards were the rulers of Manila, while the Chinese earned a lot of wealth through hard work and lived a good life. This made the local natives very angry, and they could rob the Chinese from time to time. However, from now on, such good times seem to be gone forever!

"Boom!" A shell exploded next to Mona's home. The power of the cannonball's explosion easily overturned his small dilapidated house. Mona was lucky enough to crawl out of the rubble unscathed. However, seeing his home being bombed into ruins, Mona was very angry!

"Damn the Chinese, damn the Spaniards! If it weren't for their war, my home wouldn't have been destroyed! Mona gritted his teeth.

When a person is full of anger, he tends to do a lot of things that he can't control. That's what Mona is like at the moment. He grabbed a hatchet from the rubble and walked briskly towards Manila's affluent neighborhood.

As more and more shells fall into Manila, indigenous homes continue to be destroyed, leaving more and more indigenous people homeless. These natives, who had lost their homes, began to burn and loot in the city of Manila. These natives flocked to the rich areas. The local natives are all poor, and even if they rob their own people, they will not have any oil and water. The Chinese and Spaniards in the wealthy areas are their targets.

In the past, the natives did not dare to attack the Spaniards. After all, the Spaniards were the rulers, and if the natives dared to attack the Spaniards, the Spanish army would definitely suppress them. On the other hand, if the natives attack the Chinese, the Spaniards will turn a blind eye and even share the wealth of the Chinese from the natives. But this time, the rule of the Spaniards was already in jeopardy, and the natives naturally did not need to fear them anymore!

"Rush! Those Spaniards have a lot of wealth there, kill them all, rob them of their wealth! Mona was the first to rush to the rich area. Originally, there were Spaniards guarding the place with guns. However, after the Xinhua Army launched an attack on Manila, the guards had already withdrawn. Most of the Spaniards living in the wealthy areas also fled to the Doge's Palace and the barracks, where only a handful of Spaniards remained.

Armed with a hatchet, Mona violently kicked open the door of a house and rushed in. Inside, a middle-aged Spanish woman with brown hair screamed in horror!

"Damn, you natives, what are you going to do? Get out of here, or I'll call the police!" The police are going to kill you all! The middle-aged Spanish woman shouted!

"Smack!" Mona slapped the Spanish woman in the face, and the Spanish woman was stunned, she didn't seem to expect that this native would dare to do this to her.

Seeing the appearance of the Spanish woman, Monaja laughed, as if all the previous grievances had been vented.

Then, Mona threw away the wood knife in his hand and threw himself at the middle-aged Spanish woman. The smell of inferior perfume emanating from the middle-aged Spanish woman fascinated Mona. Although this middle-aged Spanish woman is in her forties, her figure has long been out of shape and has become bloated. But in Mona's eyes, these foreign women are much better looking than indigenous women, and compared with foreign women, indigenous women are completely pigs!

"Whoa!" The long skirt on the Spanish woman's body was torn, revealing a white flowery body, which made Mona's eyes shine.

"Ahh Damn natives, you pig! What do you want to do? The Spanish woman cried out in horror. In the past, similar scenes had happened to the Chinese, and she had watched these indigenous performances with great interest, but she never imagined that all this would happen to her one day!
