"Quick, stop them!" Seeing the two heavy siege engines slowly approaching, not only the commander of the Sulu legion, Luya, was anxious, but even the ordinary Sulu soldiers also felt threatened. A group of archers immediately reversed their aim, and a series of arrows were fired at the soldiers pushing the siege engine.

However, the effect is poor.

Due to its large size, this siege vehicle itself can provide a certain amount of shelter for the soldiers in the rear.

One by one, the arrows will only be nailed to the heavy planks, and they will not even be able to shoot through.

The soldiers on both sides of the siege engines were also equipped with iron shields, and they were also not very afraid.

The only effect of the defenders' attack was to make the siege caravan advance invisibly slower by a beat.

Taking advantage of the divergence of the defenders' archers, the soldiers of the attacking North Luzon Garrison Division were much less stressed and took the opportunity to step up the attack.

Following the siege engine, another group of Songjiang archers came up to reinforce them.

In an instant, the situation on the side of Urn City fell into an unprecedented crisis.

If he could, Luya really wanted to mobilize an elite force to counterattack and destroy the siege vehicles that were already approaching the walls of the Urn City.

However, firstly, the construction of the urn city is not complete, and secondly, the soldiers of the Sulu legion can barely fight to defend the city, and if there is no geographical advantage, they are not the opponent of the Songjiang army at all.

What's more, the shield soldiers escorted on both sides of the siege vehicle also let Lu Ya know that the Songjiang army was not defenseless.

Just as he hesitated, a dull thud sounded.

The defenders in the nearby section all felt a violent shock under their feet, which was the effect of more than a dozen soldiers working together to push the battering ram and impact the walls of the urn city.

Although two Songjiang soldiers were shot and killed immediately, more soldiers immediately filled their positions, pulled back the battering ram and continued to attack.

The already impenetrable walls of the city began to fall with rubble and mud.

In one scene, Luya felt a strong sense of urgency.

At this moment, the good news came, the rocket was ready and distributed to the archers.

"Change the rocket!"

Realizing that ordinary arrows could not help the two siege vehicles, he immediately ordered the archers to change the rockets.

Soon, the arrows, tied with greased cotton wool, were placed on the torches and ignited, and the archers probed from the urn and fired the rockets straight down.

Some defenders were even worried that this would not be effective, so they threw the sheepskin bags filled with fire oil onto the siege vehicle, in an attempt to burn the siege vehicle directly.

The idea is good, but unfortunately the effect is far from as good as expected.

The siege vehicles that had been poured with mud were already very difficult to burn, not to mention that there were special soldiers on the side of the Songjiang Army who were responsible for protecting and extinguishing the fire.

Under the weekday drill, the soldiers did not panic, but calmly used shovels to shovel the mud and sand and poured the oil on the fire, effectively suppressing the fire.

Although the effect of the fire attack is not without a slight, at this efficiency, I am afraid that the walls of the urn city will be collapsed before the siege vehicles are burned!

If even this last line of defense is broken, will the Sulu Legion still be able to hold the city of Morotai?

Witnessing the response of the Songjiang Army, Lu Ya was really anxious.

It's just that the result of war is the will of man, but strength.

Luya is in a hurry, the soldiers of the Sulu Legion under his command are not strong, and in the end they are still helpless.

I could only watch as the city cars crashed into the walls of the urn city one after another, making the cracks in the masonry that were already clearly visible on it bigger and bigger and more crumbling.

"Someone."

Realizing that things really couldn't be done, Luya took a deep breath and made up her mind to die.

He summoned his own soldiers, and while informing him of the aftermath, he ordered him to send the news of the fall of the city of Morotai to Suleiman VI at any time.

If the other party is willing to escape, there may be a chance now.

As for the future...... He can't care so much anymore, he can remind the other party, and he has done all his duty to die in the end.

A quarter of an hour later, with the tsunami-like cheers of the Songjiang soldiers, a section of the wall of the Urn City collapsed.

A large number of soldiers immediately rushed in, and actually stepped into the city of Morotai.

Luya, who had already made up his mind, also gathered the last group of henchmen who dared to fight and blocked the gap.

At this time, he didn't even have the strength to pay attention to the soldiers who fled in panic, but fought with all his strength to resist the Songjiang soldiers who kept rushing and killing.

The sound of gold and iron clashing, screaming and begging for mercy, and the sound of flames burning...... The pro-soldiers around him fell one after another, and soon there were only a few more than a dozen people left on Luya's side.

Thousands of soldiers of the Matsue Army rushed into the city from here and began to wipe out the scattered Sulu soldiers - after the collapse of his place, the soldiers on the other city walls no longer had the determination to fight to the death, and the fall of the entire city of Morotai entered the countdown!

And at this moment, no one can reverse the situation anymore.

As if sensing something, Luya glanced back one last time, only the imperial flag of Suleiman VI falling from the city.

The last hope of the Duchy of Luzon is gone!

"Songjiang people, I'll fight with you!"

He roared loudly, tried his last strength, and killed the officer of the Songjiang Army in front of him.

……… The death of the commander of the Sulu Legion became the last fuse.

The remnants of the Sulu Legion, which was still struggling to support, had no reason to continue to hold on, and chose to surrender in a dazed and desperate way.

The Matsue army took full control of the western gate of Morotai City, and then began to capture the entire city.

All the civilians of Morotai City who dared to attack the Songjiang army, or the ruffians who took advantage of the chaos to loot, were all killed.

The thousands of stragglers who had been defeated were quickly driven to a corner by the Songjiang army, where they were confiscated and imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp.

Some of the speculative nobles in the city, seeing that the Duchy of Luzon and Suleiman VI were gone, chose to surrender.

There were also a very small number of die-hard loyalists, or who had offended the Matsue army and knew that they could not be spared, and retreated with Suleiman VI to Beppu, which was used as the new royal city in Morotai.

Although they still have five or six hundred people under their command, everyone knows that they are already turtles in the urn and have nowhere to escape.

He Shixiang, who entered the city, did not even rush to exterminate them, but first took control of Morotai City, stabilized the situation in the city, extinguished the spreading flames and chaos, and led the main force to surround this Beppu in the afternoon of the next day.

Waiting for the remnants of the army inside to be defeated, it was at least ten times their strength, all the way to two blocks away!

Despair gripped the whole of Beppu.

There were five or six hundred soldiers alone, and if you count the families of the maids, slaves, and nobles, it is not impossible that the total number will exceed a thousand.

At the beginning, they could still survive by dying in one breath, and they planned to fight for their lives in the end, and fight with the Songjiang people to lose both.

But in order to reduce casualties, He Shixiang chose to besiege rather than attack!

Although Beppu has a large amount of food stockpiled, it cannot withstand the consumption of thousands of people, and water is also a big problem.

The mental depression and despair are even more indescribable torment for these soldiers who are ready to fight desperately.

Whether it was day or night, as long as there was the slightest movement outside, they would think that the Songjiang army was about to attack, and they would completely turn into frightened birds.

In just four or five days, some people couldn't bear this torture and chose to hang themselves!

The atmosphere of despair began to accelerate the spread and contagion in the hospital.

In the end, without the Matsue army attacking, Suleiman VI chose to follow the example of his father, who was hiding in Davao Province and did not care about the government, and set fire to the palace.

The only difference is that Suleiman V set the fire after fleeing, while Suleiman VI lost his courage and raised the fire in discouragement**!

This is definitely a scene that any Songjiang soldier will never forget, and it is simply bad news.

Of course, there were also hundreds of soldiers who gave up on themselves, and after eating their last meal, they took the initiative to rush out of Beppu, which was heavily surrounded.

Shouting, in fact, is just bent on dying quickly.

The soldiers of the Songjiang Army who surrounded them paid only a dozen casualties to wipe out the last of the resistance in the city of Morotai.

Since then, there has been no formation to resist the Songjiang Army in the whole of Northern Luzon.

By the time the Andamanian fleet arrived again more than a month later, the island was completely devoid of their foothold.

When the news reached the royal city of Manila, Lou Liuzhong was ecstatic, and the officers and men of the Songjiang Army who stayed behind were all overjoyed.

At this time, although the Cebu region in the west and Davao Province in the east had not yet been occupied, and even the nominal emperor of the Duchy of Luzon was still there, the island of Northern Luzon had in fact completely become the territory of the Songjiang Army.

While replying to He Shixiang, he asked Yi to chase after the poor and take the whole island of Northern Luzon as quickly as possible, and at the same time began to draft a comprehensive reform that had been planned for a long time.

Everything related to the Duchy of Luzon, whether it is a legacy of institutional title culture, will be eliminated.

The original island of Luzon was officially renamed Northern Luzon County, and was incorporated into the Songjiang Army, becoming the fifth county under the rule of His Royal Highness the King of Thailand.

The Cebu Rawagquizon Plains, Davao Province, Sulu and Medan regions also correspondingly become the six provinces of North Luzon.

The other reforms will be carried out in full force in due course.

Although this will take a long time, and because of the huge conflict of interests with the local forces of the Luzon people, there will inevitably be resistance, and local forms are likely to be repeated, but the overall situation in Northern Luzon is firmly established.

When Yiqiē calmed down again, it was the moment when North Luzon was fully integrated into the Songjiang system.

And now, on this large and rich island, the biggest price of zài is resources.

Including grain, minerals, gold, and even manpower, with the full transfer of the East China Sea Division and the Ninghai Sea Division, there will be a steady stream of influxes into the four counties of Songjiang located on the mainland, turning into a huge war potential, providing unimaginable support for Chen Wu and the other two forces to compete for the crown!
