From the southern tip of the Bataan Peninsula to Manila across the entire Manila Bay, the distance between the two is more than eighty miles in a straight line, the Bataan Peninsula is in full swing, the city of Manila is not aware of it at all, it is completely in the dark, and when Bosque sends a ship for help to the city of Manila, it is already night.

Got the news that the Ming army's elite cavalry raided the Bataan Peninsula cannonballs, Davis was shocked and angry, I really don't know, when the Ming army's elite cavalry arrived on the Bataan Peninsula, thousands of Ming army elite cavalry, now the Bataan Peninsula fort strength is only two or three thousand, if you want to withstand the attack of the Ming army's elite cavalry, it is too difficult, and the fort will definitely not last long!

"Order, immediately mobilize the army for reinforcements, reinforcements, send the order to Montello, and the fleet will all go out to the Bataan Peninsula to help in the battle!"

Davis snapped.

"Mobilize the army?"

The military counselor on the side, Zollens, said astringently: "Your Excellency the Governor, our main force has all been sent to Darsmarnias, and there are only 2,000 troops left in the entire city of Manila, how can we send reinforcements?" ”

Davis was stunned for a moment and roared, "Two thousand troops? Then all of them must be sent out, and the safety of the Bataan battery must be ensured, and if the Bataan Peninsula is lost, we will be in danger! We are in danger, we will be completely blocked by the Ming army, and you will all die without a place to bury! ”

Davis was really anxious, and immediately sent the army to rush to the Bataan Peninsula on Montello's warship, but Manila Bay is an inland sea, surrounded by two peninsulas, basically there is no wind, the Spanish fleet sails in the inland sea, the speed is not as fast as in the open sea, an hour can reach fifteen miles is considered fast, eighty miles away, plus the mobilization of the army, if you want to reach the Bataan Peninsula, the fastest will be until dawn, how can the Ming army give Davis so much time to react?

One by one, the warships left the harbor and headed straight for the Bataan Peninsula, and almost at the same time, the Bataan Peninsula was already in a melee!

The bow guns of the Second Fleet are too powerful, the longest range can reach more than ten miles, and they are all using the latest gunpowder, which is even more powerful than the shore defense guns on the Spanish battery, and twenty or thirty capital warships are constantly carrying out covering fire on the opposite side of the Bataan battery, and one shell after another falls on the battery, and the violent explosion brings a huge shock to the Spanish army and heavy casualties!

If it was only the Second Fleet attacking, Bosque would prevent the battery from returning fire with all its might, and the condescending posture of the first battery would compete with the Second Fleet, and the Second Fleet would not be able to take advantage of it in three or two days, but where would Bosque be able to concentrate on counterattacking now?

The impact of the elite cavalry of the Ming army in the north became more and more severe, and the muskets in their hands also kept firing, and the combat power was extremely fierce, and they were already about to rush to the top of the fort; What's more terrible is the south, the Ming army in the south is not much, most of them are infantry, but this infantry brought a mortal threat to the Spanish army, they quietly came to the bottom of the battery, and launched an impact on the battery, one by one, the marksmanship is extremely accurate, in the dark night, can accurately hit the target, and the shooting speed is extremely fast, not giving the Spanish army time to react at all.

If the veterans can still avoid the shelling in time, then in the face of the cold guns and hidden arrows of the special operations battalion in the south, the Spanish army has no temper at all, and more Spaniards died in the hands of the special operations battalion than under the artillery!

The Spanish defenders were attacked on three sides, the people were panicked, and there were enemies everywhere, where could they still deal with the artillery fire from the sea with all their might?

Almost at the same time, the special operations battalion and the cavalry battalion rushed to the fort at the same time and began the final slaughter, the cavalry of the Tianxiong Army brandished the sabers of the cold light one by one, assaulted everywhere, and continued to slaughter, while the soldiers of the special operations battalion were hidden in the dark, constantly putting cold guns, and at the sound of gunfire, one by one the Spaniards fell in a pool of blood.

In less than an hour, Bosque couldn't stand it, the Ming army's offensive was too fierce, and, to the worst thing, as soon as these Ming troops killed the fort, their own artillery was even more useless, on the fort, your artillery can't attack the enemy close at hand, right?

"Colonel Bosque, we can't continue like this, if we continue to fight, we will be completely annihilated, we must retreat, we must retreat!"

Lieutenant Colonel Carvalho on the side shouted urgently.

Fall back?

You're saying it's simple!

Bosque's heart is bitter, this is the Bataan Peninsula fort, once it falls, it will be equivalent to the opening of the door to Manila Bay, and the fleet of the Ming army may enter the bay at any time, and our Spanish fleet will be dumpled.

"Colonel Bosque, you can't hesitate, if the forces we have at hand are dead, then the entire Bataan Peninsula will fall into the hands of the Ming army, temporarily abandon the Das Battery, we still have four batteries to defend, as long as we hold out until dawn, our fleet will definitely rush to the Bataan Peninsula to support, when the time comes, we can counterattack back, but once our soldiers die, then even if we want to counterattack, we have no capital to counterattack......"

Bosque gritted his teeth and shouted: "Order, the whole army is ready to withdraw from the Das battery, move towards the Galileo battery, and prepare to continue to fight the Ming army!" ”

Under the tremendous pressure of the Ming army, the Spanish army, which suffered heavy casualties, had to think about the transfer of the Galileo battery on the east side and hastily withdrew from the Das battery.

But how could the Ming army allow the Spaniards to withdraw easily? When the Spaniards withdrew to the Galileo Battery, Bosque was left with less than 800 people, with heavy casualties, and the most important thing was that now the Ming Army had mastered the Das Battery, and the soldiers of the special operations battalion did not launch an attack, but began to launch an artillery bombardment towards the Galileo Battery.

Siege! Go on the siege!

Now Bosque is bitter, these Ming troops are really too desperate, they are chasing hard, and they don't even leave a chance to breathe for the Spanish army, and now under the artillery fire of the Ming army, the Ming army's elite cavalry has once again launched an attack on the Galileo battery, the sound of guns continues, and the Spanish army that has just retreated to the Galileo battery has not had time to arrange defense, and it was forced to usher in the Ming army's elite cavalry to attack again!

A melee began again, the Spanish army could not withstand the attack of the Ming army's elite cavalry, and the killed were defeated and retreated, just when the Galileo battery was about to be lost, another dense cannon sound sounded from the east!
