On the third day, Liu Qiang took less than 1,000 people and hurried for a day before coming to the city of Manila. However, they were in dire need of siege tools. As a result, although the brothers attacked in a hurry, they still did not capture Manila City, but lost half of their brothers, Liu Qiang saw that the situation was unfavorable, so he led people to withdraw.

However, more than 2,000 Westerners poured out of the city at this time, and Liu Qiang was defeated and fled back to the ship with only a dozen brothers. In the end, only two boats escaped back to meet the eldest lady. ”

When Qu Jing said this, he saw Liu Qiang's face was painful, so he didn't say anything more. Yu Ren gently patted Liu Qiang's shoulder.

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and you don't have to let go of it too much. The most important thing is that we learn the lessons of failure. When we have gathered strength, we will go for revenge next time. As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge, and ten years is not too late. If it doesn't work for ten years, we'll add another ten years. This hatred of Westerners. We'll report it someday. ”

Liu Qiang raised his head. "I was just too anxious for revenge. didn't listen to the eldest lady's words and attacked their fort first, but directly attacked the city.

At that time, as soon as the fight started, the brothers were red-eyed. Although the battle situation is not good. But most of the brothers I brought with me had family members who died in that massacre. When everyone saw the Western devils, they all had red eyes, and they rushed desperately to the city, but they couldn't pull it. ”

Yu Ren patted Liu Qiang and brought him a cup of tea. Then he whispered to Qu Jing, "What happened later?" ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, the eldest lady originally planned to retreat. But when the brothers who went with him saw that the enemy was near, none of them would withdraw. There is no way, the eldest lady knows that it is not possible to storm Manila. According to our estimates, they had at least five thousand troops in the city. Therefore, the eldest lady took us to attack Tortoiseshell Harbor, preparing to find a foothold first.

We put our men in order in Hawksbill Harbor. The eldest lady plans to build a walled city here first, in case the enemy attacks. However, most of the people who went with them had blood feuds, and they were eager to take revenge and did not listen to the command of the eldest lady. So a few of the chiefs with two or three thousand men went to attack the city again. The eldest lady was impatient, so she had to take the rest of the people to attack Manila together.

However, this time, the eldest lady did not attack the city, but made the trick open the city gate. The brothers poured in.

But there are no fewer Westerners in the city than we are, and they also have the advantage of the terrain. The two sides fought for a day, and saw that the brothers around them were dying more and more, but the Westerners did not see much less. The eldest lady hurriedly ordered everyone to withdraw from the city first.

When she left the city, the eldest lady counted the number of people, and there were only less than 3,000 people. More than 1,000 brothers were lost in this battle.

If this battle continues like this, we will all have to hide here. The eldest lady forced everyone to retreat.

However, the Westerners pursued us from behind. Wait until the port of hawksbill is withdrawn. We have less than 2,000 people.

Seeing that the Westerners were strong, the eldest lady endured the pain and forcibly ordered everyone to retreat north. Later, we met a Western fleet of twenty warships at sea, and we fought again, and although they had six ironclad ships, we used fire attack tactics and burned their ironclad ships with a few small boats. In the end, the Western fleet was completely annihilated.

However, in this battle, we also lost fifty or sixty ships. By the time our coops were resting, the fleet was less than fifty boats. A small half of the ships were damaged.

It turned out that the eldest lady was planning to rest in the chicken coop for a few days and then take everyone back to the island. But I didn't expect that the shameless Fujian general soldier Yu Zhigao actually took advantage of our rare time to fall into the well, and brought more than 100 warships to the chicken coop to encircle and suppress us.

Luckily, we got a secret message from the locals, and we were not all locked in the harbor by them. However, many of these imperial warships were large ships like the No. 1 and No. 2 Fu ships. Plus there are a lot of them.

As a result, although we rushed out of this battle, in the end there were less than ten boats left. That Yu Zhigao is still chasing after us. They want to cut us down to the roots. Fortunately, God will not kill me.

We met the caravan of Li Da's family heading south to Nanyang. Yu Zhigao, seeing that we were coming for reinforcements, had no choice but to withdraw. ”

Yu Ren didn't speak for a long time. Needless to say, Li Ying's battle was obviously unprepared, and she hurriedly dispatched troops before she even figured out how many Westerners there were on Luzon. Such a result is also conceivable. However, this also made Yu Ren feel even more guilty. Because Li Ying would not have been in such a hurry, it was the catastrophe he caused in Hirado that finally forced her to send troops in a hurry.

"After we met the big boss Li, the eldest lady was left behind by the big boss. Then the big boss sent General Manager Jiang to take over all the affairs of the island, with Liu Qiang and I assisting. As soon as Qu Jing finished speaking, Jiang Xuanzhao stood up and said.

"Alright. By now you should all understand! From now on, I am your head. Everything has to be listened to me.

What about those boys who don't know how to live and die who threaten me with a cannon! ”

Outside the door, a few cronies brought by Jiang Xuanzhao had already escorted people up.

"Give me twenty rods for each of you." Jiang Xuanzhao waved his hand.

Yu Ren stood up, "Leader Jiang, this is not good!" They are also only doing what they are told. If you want to be punished, you should punish me, and I made them do it. Besides, at present, officers and soldiers will come to attack the island at any time, and they are the few personnel on the island who can fire artillery. If we had broken them, in the event that the officers and soldiers came to attack, wouldn't we have lost ourselves first! ”

Qu Jing on the side heard Yu Ren's words, and couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly squeezed his eyebrows at him. Yu Ren naturally knew what he meant, Qu Jing wanted to remind him that when Jiang Xuanzhao first came, he was trying to find someone to establish his authority and ask him not to hit this muzzle. But Yu Ren is not such a person. Seeing Jiang Xuanzhao complaining privately, he couldn't help but stand up.

Jiang Xuanzhao glanced at Yu Ren, "I don't believe that without these scrap materials, we won't be able to defeat those officers and soldiers." Those officers and soldiers were only used to scare the small people. I, Jiang Xuanzhao, would I still be afraid that they wouldn't succeed? Look at it. As long as the officers and men dare to come, I promise that they will not return. ”

As he was talking, a report hurriedly came from outside the door, saying that Huang Ji'an and Shi Bin had successfully completed the task and burned the warships of the officers and soldiers.

When Yu Ren heard this, he couldn't help but stand up. said, "It really lives up to my expectations." He was about to get up to greet him, but he saw Jiang Xuanzhao on the side looking at him. Only then did Yu Ren remember. He's the supreme commander here. Originally, Yu Ren has always been unjustifiable. It's just that when Xiao Qi was in charge of affairs, because Xiao Qi was not a very strong person, and he knew the special relationship between Yu Ren and Li Ying. Yu Ren will intervene and come in.

However, this Jiang Xuanzhao obviously didn't buy his account.

So, Yu Ren hesitated, but still couldn't help but didn't go out to greet Huang Ji'an and Shi Bin.

After a while, Huang Ji'an hurriedly walked in with Shi Bin. He didn't care about others around, so he hugged his fist to Yu Ren and said, "Ji'an lived up to your trust and successfully burned fifty-three warships of officers and soldiers. Nineteen fishing boats. ”

Yu Ren nodded. "Good work!"

After speaking, he was about to introduce Jiang Xuanzhao to them. saw that Jiang Xuanzhao had already stood up. "I don't think you've ever seen big when you call chickens. It's just a few broken ships that burned officers and soldiers, is it worth being so happy! Come to think of it, these two must be accomplices with Yu Xianggong! ”

At that time, Bin couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this person speak so rudely. "What about the accomplices, we are proud to be accomplices with Yu Xianggong. Like you, even if Uncle Ben wants to be with me, I won't take you with me! ”

Jiang Xuanzhao listened to Shi Bin's words, and his words were extremely ugly. Say "Good, good!" a few times in a row! ”

Then Jiang Xuanzhao clapped his hands. "Someone. Since it's an accomplice, let's take it all! After I defeated the officers and soldiers, I personally took them back to Hirado to ask for a reward from the great boss. ”

Immediately, more than a dozen of Jiang Xuanzhao's personal soldiers rushed up outside the door and tied Huang Ji'an, Shi Bin and Yu Ren with ropes.

Xiao Qi couldn't help but panic when he saw that Jiang Xuanzhao suddenly ordered Yu Ren to be tied up. "That's not good! Yu Xianggong is a person who has made great contributions to us! And he also has a very close relationship with the eldest lady. Xiao Qi hinted. He thought that Jiang Xuanzhao did this because he didn't know the special relationship between Yu Ren and Li Ying.

Jiang Xuanzhao suddenly turned straight and shouted to everyone, "I was ordered by the big boss to try to hunt down Yu Ren." I just grabbed him, and that's good enough for him. ”
