When Baptista retreated into Dasmarinias, he found that the troops in his hands, in the rout just now, had thousands of casualties, but they were casualties, and a large number of recruits fled and directly threw away their weapons and went into the deep mountains and old forests, where else to find them?

This time, this group of recruits will be killed......

Baptista wanted to cry without tears, specially, this is the newly recruited army, it cost Spain more than 100,000 eagles, and finally ended up like this, the Tianxiong army completely defeated the new army without much effort!

"Order, immediately deploy in Dasmarinias, be on guard day and night, don't leave a chance for the Ming army to attack, defend it to the death, and in addition, immediately ask for help from Count Davis!"

Now there is only one way to call for help.

After only one night, the next morning, the Tianxiong army pursued again and came to Dasmarinias, and surrounded the small city of less than 30,000 men.

Qin Mufeng gave an order, and the Tianxiong Army launched a frantic offensive towards Dasmarinias, and ninety artillery pieces launched an artillery bombardment on Dasmarinias, and the small town was instantly drowned in the smoke of war under the baptism of artillery.

After all, it was not a strong military fortress, and the Spanish army was cowering in a small city, suffering from the indiscriminate bombardment of the Ming army, how long could this last?

Now Baptista's only reliance is his own artillery, and the Spaniards are also not a few, there are dozens of large and small artillery, which are placed at the head of the city, constantly fighting back, preventing the Tianxiong army from approaching.

This is a tough battle, for Qin Mufeng, it is also the first time to encounter, before Qin Mufeng fought, what he was best at was running, it was a field battle, but he was not the best at siege tactics, facing the strong defense line of the Spaniards, it was also impossible to easily break through in a moment or three.

"Guilin, you kid has been following Brother Yifan for so long, and he is the most important talent of Brother Yifan, let's talk about it, how can you quickly take the city in front of you?"

Qin Mufeng asked in a sullen voice.

Tan Guilin smiled: "Master Inspector, why are you in a hurry?" This side is the next day's battle, the battle, when the strength of the two sides is not much different, there is no one who can quickly end the battle, we are here with the Spanish army to the death, their artillery is not as good as ours, they have no rockets, it only takes a few days, this Dasmarinas will be razed to the ground by us, and then the Spanish army will collapse without a fight! ”

Qin Mufeng said coldly: "What you kid said is good! You must know that there are reinforcements behind the Spaniards, this is in Luzon, not in our Daming, we are on land, isolated, there is not enough rear supplies, and our food is only enough to support for a maximum of two months, but now we have been out for nearly a month, and the remaining grain can still hold on for a month, and even if it can last for a month, the fleet must be able to supply food, our food is only enough for ten days, you drag Lao Tzu for ten days, We're all going to drink the northwest wind! ”

Tan Guilin said in a deep voice: "Master Overseer, it's not that we can't take down Dasmarinas quickly, it's that we shouldn't take Dasmarinas ...... right now."

"What do you mean?"

Qin Mufeng was stunned.

Tan Guilin replied: "Master Inspector, you have forgotten, our attack this time, the purpose is not to take Manila as quickly as possible, although the strength of our two towns is not weak, but it is definitely not so easy to take Manila, our most important purpose is to use the strong offensive and combat power to attract all the attention of Manila to Dasmarnias, which is only seventy or eighty miles away from Manila, and it is also the last barrier of Manila. Davis of Manila will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely increase his troops, so that we will create the best opportunity for General Xia Wanchun to raid the Bataan Peninsula, and ensure that they march at full strength without being discovered, even if they are discovered, compared to the personality of Cungu, they will be dealt with cleanly, cross the inland sea, bypass Manila Bay, even if the speed is fast, the three thousand elite cavalry of Cungu will take several days, we just want to create an opportunity for Cungu, and not give the Spanish army a chance to return to the Bataan Peninsula! ”

Qin Mufeng suddenly realized, nodded and said, "Boy, he really deserves to be Brother Yifan's right-hand man, his mind turns so fast!" What are you going to do next? ”

Tan Guilin sneered: "It's very simple, first, continue to besiege Dasmarinias, but also leave them some hope, put pressure on the Spaniards, let them go all out to ask for help, and contain the main force of the Spanish army; secondly, send an elite force, move slowly in the northwest direction, do not engage in the attack, and once the Bataan Peninsula is fought, then immediately cut off the return route of the Spaniards; Now the Spaniards have been continuously drawing elite troops from Manila Bay, once the defense of the Bataan Peninsula is empty, Xia Wanchun's 3,000 elite cavalry can definitely take the Bataan Peninsula in the shortest possible time, and then assist the fleet to control the situation in Manila Bay! ”

"Awesome, awesome!"

Qin Mufeng couldn't help but give a thumbs up, no wonder Xu Yifan paid attention to Tan Guilin, this kid is really a general, no, he is a handsome talent, given time, it may not be impossible to surpass himself and Lao Cha......

"Guilin, this battle, I will hand it over to you to command, it just ends up idle, but you have to fight it for me!"

Tan Guilin hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Yes, Master Overseer, the last general will definitely not live up to your trust!" ”

Tan Guilin's prediction is good, now Manila has become a mess, Baptista was defeated in a battle, and was surrounded by Das Marinanias, Davis was really frightened, you must know that Baptista is leading most of the main force of the Spanish army, once it is surrounded and annihilated, then Spain has no hope of turning the tide of the war on the battlefield, I am afraid that even Manila will not be able to hold it, and there is no need for a fleet to fight it out, just the elite of the Ming army on land is enough to drink a pot of it......

Davis tried his best to draw troops, anyway, there is no war in Manila Bay yet, first repel the Ming army on land, they don't have enough supplies, as long as it drags on for ten days and half a month, the Ming army can't retreat if they want to!

The large-scale deployment of troops made the defenses on the east and west sides of Manila useless, giving Xia Wanchun an excellent opportunity!
