"Su Langqing, the contribution of Chinese businessmen to the Ming Court, I will not forget, no matter what, please hold on for another month, within a month I will definitely take Laoag City." Xiao Wu on the side really couldn't stand it anymore and said.

"There are only a few grass people below, how dare you urge the generals, but Weigan really can't maintain the supply of thousands of troops, and I hope the generals will forgive me." Su Langqing bowed to Xiao Wu and Liu Yu and left in a hurry.

"Laoag can't be attacked for a long time, and the logistics and grass will last for two months at most, what is the good plan for the generals." Xiao Wu, the Duke of Mingguo, looked at the generals.

"My lord, please give the last general three days, the last general will personally lead five hundred troops to attack the city, and the tiger Benzhen artillery will assist the formation, and he will definitely capture the city wall of Laoag." Talu was the first to stand up and speak.

In the Ming army, Talu was the first to raise troops to attack the city wall of Laoag, and in the past half a month, Talu has recruited more than 200 soldiers, which has made Xiaoyong Town recover a lot of vitality, coupled with the bloody battle with 800 pirates, the blood-stained Xiaoyong Town soldiers are even more fierce, and even the Ming army of Huben Town has to look at this alien town.

"No," He Bin shook his head,

"The Franc machine man strengthened the firepower and strength of the city wall, and even the ten-pounder cannon brought in eight, and the strong attack must have suffered heavy casualties.

"Last month, the pirates organized thousands of people to attack but were defeated under the city, although our army is stronger than the pirates, but lack siege equipment, rash siege only increased casualties."

Xu Bin vetoed the general's proposal.

It's not that he looks down on Xiaoyong Town, but he has been fighting with the Spaniards for more than a month, and Xu Bin also knows the strength of the Spaniards in the city.

"I've already shipped four Hongyi cannons, so I don't believe that the walls of the red-haired ghosts won't collapse." Wang Tong, the deputy general of Huben Town, snorted coldly,

"There are still thousands of red-haired ghosts in the city, as well as a powerful fleet, and even a large number of mercenaries, even if we take Laoag City, our army will not be able to fight anymore, let alone counterattack the Qing court." Liu Yu also sighed and vetoed the proposals of several town generals.

Just as the soldiers of the Ming army in the camp were arguing, a shocking news came.

Mingcheng is broken.

Three days earlier, Nero had led 2,000 soldiers from Banggui with the assistance of 300 Spanish musketeers to attack the Ming army in the mighty town.

Because of the previous agreement with Manila, the soldiers of the Ming army in Weiwu Town have long been slack, but they were unexpectedly attacked by the Shengfan army, and at the most critical moment, a large number of Luzon Han people and Shengfan in the army fled one after another, resulting in a great chaos in the Ming army's position, and the defeat of Weiwu Town, the main general Li Daoan was killed in battle, and more than 300 officers and soldiers were lost.

Nero defeated the mighty town of the Ming army after the non-stop straight to the Ming City, the Ming City is a small city, plus the main force of the Ming army outside, only two hundred soldiers can not hold it at all, but in one day, the soldiers in the Spanish artillery support into the city.

The Spaniards and Shengfan, who were already angry, slaughtered the soldiers and civilians in the city, and thousands of Han people in the city were slaughtered overnight.

The prison was spared by fleeing to the merchant ships of the English.

The Ming city was lost, the whole army of Weiwu Town was destroyed, thousands of Han people were killed, and all kinds of tragedies made the Ming generals present furious.

Even the sophisticated and calm Xiao Wu scolded,

But anger doesn't change the facts.

The Manila authorities suddenly sent troops, in fact, the generals had expected it, but they did not expect to be defeated so badly, and they did not even have a chance to return to the army.

The speed of the Manila authorities showed their resolve, and the agreement was nullified.

Now he can only entrust the Four Seas Merchant House to bring the Lord of the Overseer back from the English to Vigan City.

In order to ensure the safety of Weigan City, Liu Quan personally led a total of 700 people from the two associations of Huben Town and the whole town of Xiaoyong to return to Weigan City.

In addition, the 400 Han auxiliaries and Fan soldiers in the city of Vigan should be able to withstand Nero's attack.

Liu Quan took the most powerful 700 Ming army to fight back to Vigan with great momentum, but it undoubtedly weakened the strength of the Ming army under the city of Laoag.

Xiao Wu's sailor town is a water town, and it needs to be encircled outside the port of Laoag, and it can't be moved, not only that, but the sailor of Fubo Town, which is a water town, is also handed over to Xiao Wu to deploy at sea.

Now Liu Yu only has the three associations of Huben Town left, with only 500 people.

The Ming army outside the city was panicked for a while, but the inside of the city of Laoag was no better than the Ming people.

News of the Manila authorities' raid on the city of Ming also reached the city of Laoag at the same time.

The Ming army was too small to really encircle the city of Laoag, and it was still possible to evade the Ming army's patrols and carry the news back to the city by walking through some steep mountain roads and rainforests.

Sir Brent and General Terry, who heard the news, were also barely reassured,

"Spread the news, Rawag needs it so much right now." Brent said excitedly.

The officials on the side hurriedly walked out to spread the news to all parts of Laoag City.

"The merchants in the city have nothing to say now, and maybe they will settle down a little." Seeing the officials running out in a hurry, Sir Brent smiled with satisfaction.

"Ann, huh." General Terry on the side snorted coldly.

"If it weren't for these mercenary businessmen, we wouldn't be like this." General Terry exasperated.

He did not feel that the current siege of the city of Laoag was the cause of his poor command, but blamed the local merchants of Laoag.

"We need merchants to maintain the market, and in the future, after the destruction of this damn Han Chinese army, we will need merchants to restore trade in the port of Laoag and even in Viganmanila." Sir Brent said to General Terry.

"I'm afraid you don't know that the Arab businessmen below are ready to move, and just yesterday there was an informant who secretly reported that those Arab businessmen wanted to cooperate with the Han Chinese." General Terry said dismissively.

As a Spanish officer, he did not have a good impression of these foreign merchants who were not affiliated with the Spanish Empire, and in his eyes, these merchants depended on the Spanish Empire to survive, and now these ants who relied on the empire for survival actually plotted to overthrow the Spanish Empire's rule in Luzon, which made Terry furious.

It was also the case that General Terry hanged six defecting Arab captains at the docks without informing Sir Brent.

"They just want to keep their lives alive." Sir Brent shook his head, he knew these merchants too well, and as long as they did not take their gold and silver wealth, these mercenary merchants would never dare to rebel against the Spanish Empire.

"Because of your kindness and the fact that these merchants have devoured the wealth of Laoag for a hundred years, and now Laoag cannot even pay the salaries of naval sailors, and as the consul of Laoag, you have watched these merchants encroach on the wealth of our Spanish Empire." Brent's words made Terry furious.

"And what do you want to do?" Brent glanced at Terry,

"Abdler, a damned wealthy Arab businessman, was the one who proposed to rebel against the rule of the Spanish Empire and have the soldiers arrest him and confiscate his family's property." Terry spoke.
