Xia Wanchun led three thousand elite cavalry, non-stop, and rushed to Karalan Town on the south bank of the Inland Sea in one day, without saying a word, dozens of soldiers guarding the town were all killed by the Tianxiong army's elite cavalry, and then all the ships in the town were gathered.

There are really a lot, there are 300 boats of all sizes, there are nearly 30,000 people in this town, almost every family makes a living from fishing, how can there be fewer boats?

Xia Wanchun left 400 people to monitor the people of the entire town, led the cavalry, boarded the ship directly, and rushed towards the north bank, two days, almost to the north bank, at this time the Tianxiong army and the Spanish army in Das Marinañas began to fight, waiting for Xia Wanchun to complete the assembly of troops, towards Manila bypass, the Ming army has defeated the Spanish army's defense line.

Now all the energy of the Spaniards has been attracted by the forces of Qin Mufeng and Tan Guilin, creating an opportunity for Xia Wanchun, three thousand elite cavalry, one person and two cavalry, around Manila Bay towards the Bataan Peninsula rapid advance, two hundred miles a day, three days, the Tianxiong army has entered the Bataan Peninsula and attacked the southernmost fort of the Bataan Peninsula.

At this time, the Xibaya people finally discovered the whereabouts of the Ming army's elite cavalry, and there were not many Spanish cordons in secret, but at this time, it was less than fifty miles away from the fort, and for the cavalry, it was enough to arrive in less than half a day, and it did not give the Spanish army a chance to react at all.

In the fort of the Bataan Peninsula, the Spanish general Bosque heard the information and was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and a large cavalry of the Ming army appeared in the north!

This is terrible, just the day before yesterday, Governor Davis just transferred 3,000 troops from the north shore back to Manila City, and now the Bataan Peninsula, plus all the artillery is only 2,000 people, in the face of two or three thousand elite cavalry, it is not enough to see!

"Quick, immediately send someone to prepare to cross Manila Bay, ask for help from Manila, ask for help from Manila, hurry up!"

Bosque made an urgent defensive deployment at the fort, hoping to stop the attack of the Ming army's elite cavalry.

However, it was obvious that the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong Army did not give him this face, and in less than an hour, the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong Army came to the north side of the fort under the leadership of Xia Wanchun, and did not even pause and directly charged towards the fort!

"Damn bastards! Fire, artillery, turn the gun, fire! ”

Bosque now couldn't care about the defense on the sea, and instead ordered the people below to turn the head of the gun, and began to launch an artillery bombardment on the Tianxiong army, the fierce shelling, one shell after another with a huge roar, straight to the Tianxiong army's elite cavalry, one after another fell on the road of the Tianxiong army's charge, setting off puffs of smoke and dust, and some flowering shells exploded directly, shaking the heavens and the earth.

However, now the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong army can't care about the threat of artillery fire, Xia Wanchun gave a death order, and the three thousand elite cavalry all rushed towards the fort!

It is obviously impossible for more than ten artillery pieces to stop the all-out assault of three thousand elite cavalry, after all, forty or fifty artillery pieces are scattered on different batteries, and not all of them can be put into the defense of the north side of the battery, and even some batteries cannot be put into battle at all because of the distance and direction, after all, these batteries are used to guard the sea off Manila Bay, not to guard the Bataan Peninsula.

Even so, the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong Army inevitably suffered casualties, and one by one the cavalry fell to the ground under the bombardment of artillery, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Xia Wanchun's heart was furious, but this is war, war means casualties, no one can avoid it, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, today, no matter how much it costs, these forts must be taken!

"Charge! All charge! Annihilate the Spaniards! ”

Xia Wanchun took the lead, and let out an angry roar from his mouth, the speed of the Tianxiong army's elite cavalry became even faster, and soon, he approached the largest fort - Das Battery, this fort is the largest fort on the Bataan Peninsula, with more than ten artillery pieces deployed, and all of them are heavy artillery, this is Xia Wanchun's goal!

"Kill!"

Bosque stood on top of the fort, and his heart couldn't help but sway, the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong Army was too brave, in the face of intensive artillery fire, such a reckless charge, just more than ten waves of artillery bombardment, at least caused hundreds of casualties in the Tianxiong Army, but these Tianxiong Army elite cavalry did not hesitate at all, and was still charging!

Moreover, although the assault continued, now the distance between the elite cavalry of the Ming army and the fort is only 300 paces, and in the impact, it is about to enter the dead end of the range of the artillery!

"Order, infantry ready to fight! Be sure to stop the cavalry of the Ming army from rushing up! ”

Bosque hurriedly ordered, on this fort, there were nearly a thousand people defending, one by one relying on sandbags, ready to shoot, seeing that the elite cavalry of the Ming army had rushed into the range of rifles, the Spanish infantry began to shoot!

Almost at the same time, the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong Army also began to shoot wildly, and in an instant, the bullets rained down, forming a network of fire on the edge of the fort!

Bang bang bang......

Seeing that the Tianxiong army was about to rush to the edge of the battery, the Spanish army's intensive firepower beat the Tianxiong army's elite cavalry back, no way, the Spanish infantry relied on the fortifications to launch a counterattack, occupying a powerful terrain, just by virtue of a charge to take the battery, the Spaniards were too nested.

Xia Wanchun gritted his teeth angrily, he could only order the elite cavalry to temporarily retreat and attack, at this moment, it was not so easy, Xia Wanchun was waiting, waiting for the arrival of dusk, during the day, the sight on the fort was too good, it was too difficult to break through the direction of the Spaniards, only by waiting until it entered the night and launched a night attack, could it be possible to succeed in a battle, fishing in troubled waters!

"Give the order to go down, immediately prepare to rest, and as soon as it gets dark, immediately attack! Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, a small fort can still block our 3,000 elite horsemen! ”

Xia Wanchun said hatefully.

Perhaps, the Spaniards relied on the first terrain and were really able to hold and block the attack of the Tianxiong army, but the problem is that there are not only Tianxiong army and cavalry near the Bataan Peninsula, but also a huge Ming fleet on the open sea!

On the fort, the sound of the Spaniards' cannons shook the earth, and the sound of the large-scale artillery battle was enough to spread for thirty or forty miles, which had already alarmed the Ming fleet at sea!

"Haotian, Yugong, did you hear that? Cannons, cannons! This is the sound of artillery on the Bataan Peninsula! ”

Cha Zhu was in high spirits and shouted loudly.
