Mutafi is just a mercenary leader, and like all mercenaries on this plane, he is committed to the supremacy of money.

His thirst for wealth led him to turn his back on his employer and even kill him, which made him notorious in Laoag but gave him considerable influence in mercenary circles.

After all, for mercenaries, whoever gives more money works for whom, and as for integrity and morality, sorry does not exist at all.

When Laoag made peace with the Mingren, Mutafi sneaked into the city of Laoag.

The reason why he came was not because of Akito's instructions, but because of his own will.

As early as after cooperating with Liu Yu to divide the wealth of the wealthy merchants of Wigan, Mutafi and his Arab mercenaries gained a huge amount of wealth, but this wealth came and went quickly.

Especially after the Four Seas Merchant House swallowed up Vigan's casinos, brothels, and taverns.

So before Liu Yu could find Mutafi, the mercenaries found the Ming army.

Mutafi knew all too well about the riches of the city of Laoag.

This is what haunts him.

Mutafi's deeds in Wigan have long been spread throughout the mercenary circle.

This is also due to the Spaniards, when the Spaniards got the news of the Ming army's bloody sweep of the rich merchants of Vigan, they made a big noise.

The intention was very good, and it did maintain the hearts of the people in the city for a short time, but it made a group of people restless, and that was these mercenaries.

Merchant fleets need escorts, so some powerful merchant fleets tend to recruit mercenaries to protect themselves, and the last thing that Laoag lacks as a harbor city is mercenaries.

Although feared by the Spaniards, these mercenaries were well represented in the siege of the pirates during these days, and successfully helped the Spaniards hold the city of Laoag.

But the Spaniards did not pay them accordingly, and even their employers were quite stingy.

After all, it was to defend the city of Laoag, and the money was also asked from the Spaniards, and most merchant shipowners refused to pay the mercenaries for guarding the city of Laoag.

This mercenary of the major chambers of commerce was extremely dissatisfied, and Mutafi's arrival undoubtedly set off a huge storm.

And the storm swept through the city of Laoag tonight.

The sudden explosion of the Barr stunned the Spaniards, and the Spaniards in most areas were in a state of confusion, except for the port troops under the command of General Terry.

Even the Laoag Mansion was in chaos at this time.

Fires loomed in the distance, and the streets were filled with fleeing civilians around one corner.

"Mutafy, the brethren at the port seem to have succeeded, so let's have fun tonight." One of the mercenary leaders smiled cruelly.

"Those damn rich merchants, we worked so hard to be dogs for them, and in the end we didn't even have a bone left, so it would have been better to burn Laoag with those pirates before."

The crowd was babbling, and the intensity of the language showed a strong hatred for the wealthy merchant of Laoag, which made Mutafi very satisfied.

He had given the wine stored in the cellar of the Chamber of Commerce to the Spanish sailors during the Spaniards' revelry, and thus boarded the Spanish ships.

The Spanish sailors, who had not drunk alcohol for more than a month, naturally drank happily, and several mercenaries carrying wine barrels on the warship used the pretext of giving wine to the Spanish sailors, and took advantage of the drunkenness of the Spanish sailors to sneak into the powder tank and set fire, resulting in an explosion and fire.

That's how the battleship Jean Barr sank.

However, the mercenaries only succeeded once, mainly because the Admiral of the Barr was directly cut off by a two-pound cannonball in the previous battle with the pirates, and the first mate who had just taken over was incompetent and secretly went to the tavern.

In the end, it led to the tragedy of the Jeanbar, and several other battleships either couldn't get on the mercenaries, or they were closely monitored the whole time and didn't attack at all.

At this time, the mercenaries gathered in the street naturally sensed that something was wrong with the port,

Although the fire in the harbor shone in the sky, it was obvious that it was only a local fire, and the sound of fire from the direction of the dock came to an abrupt halt after only a few breaths.

"It seems that the Spaniards have taken precautions." Mutafi stared at the firelight of the pier in the distance and snorted coldly.

"Take a team of people to the dock, be sure to control the dock, and I will take a team of people to open the city wall and let the Ming army enter the city." Mutafi said coldly.

"Mutafe, the Spaniards have taken precautions, aren't they looking for death when they go to the docks now?"

"You don't want to take your own people to rob the rich businessmen, let's go to death." Several mercenary leaders were visibly dissatisfied.

"Hmph, what else do you have in your eyes besides gold, the dock is in the hands of the Spaniards, how can we run." Mutafi was furious, and he wanted to immediately slash the mercenary leaders.

"I went to attack the city walls, open the gates and let the Ming army enter the city, and we plundered the rich merchants just when the Ming army was fighting with the Spaniards, and then loaded the treasure on the treasure ship, and then went to Batavia to have a good time." Mutafy's explanation calmed down several of the mercenary leaders.

Several groups of mercenaries gathered a group of men and marched to the docks, while others were led by Mutafi to attack the city gates.

A series of "bang, bang......" A series of claps interrupted the sweet dreams of the Spanish soldiers stationed at the walls of Laoag, who would have thought that they would be attacked by the enemy in the middle of the night.

And the attack turned out to be the inner city.

The Spanish soldiers sleeping in the barracks and the local natives of Laoag were slaughtered by mercenaries in the dark of night.

The Spaniards' defenses were not strict, mainly because the Ming army was attacking and harassing during this period, and there was basically no large-scale siege of the city, coupled with the victory of the Manila authorities in the Battle of Mingcheng, which gave the Spaniards in the city sufficient self-confidence.

Of course, the commander who defended the city did not expect that there would be a riot in the city.

"What's the situation?" A non-commissioned officer ran out of the barracks, and the huge camp was full of fire, and everywhere there were scattered indigenous soldiers or people.

"Pikemen, array." The non-commissioned officer shouted, and more than twenty soldiers armed with Changge gradually gathered around him.

Not far away, on the tower, groups of musketeers were stationed in various directions under the leadership of their respective non-commissioned officers, and even aimed a few three-pounder eagle cannons at the main battalion, ready to rush to the aid of the Spanish soldiers under the city walls.

"Bang!"

Tongues of fire lit up from the city walls, and several mercenaries who rushed in front fell and rolled down the tower.

On the city walls, several eagle cannons fired constantly.

The Eagle Cannon is a three-pounder gun created in Europe and specially developed for infantry.

This gun is very light, can move with the small detachment, fast reloading, convenient and flexible.

The disadvantage is that the power is small, and the cannonball weighs only three pounds, which is not suitable for practical use in large battles, but it is extremely powerful against mercenaries at close range.

The Franc machine equipped by the Ming army came from this gun.

I have to say that this kind of three-pounder cannon is really good, under the light of the fire of the camp, the Spanish gunners calmly fired their cannons, and they actually defeated the mercenaries for a while and fled.

With the support of the tower's artillery, the Spanish pikemen in the large battalion also began to assemble and expel the mercenaries under the leadership of the lieutenant.

Mutafe, or the mercenaries, still underestimated the Spaniards' fighting power after all.

I thought that if the surprise attack was successful, the Spaniards would panic and mutiny, but who knew that the Spanish army reacted in a short time.
