Chapter 313: Another Open Door
Auraza's fleet was the second half of the night to dock.
But because of the poor vision after dark, he did not let the soldiers land immediately, but continued to rest on the ship in preparation for a possible big battle in the future. It was not until dawn that he gave the order to land.
The coastline where they docked was about thirty or forty miles long.
Because Franco had already explored the way for them, it saved a lot of time walking on land.
This time, Oraza mobilized 300 artillery pieces of all kinds and enough shells. Many of these guns were removed from warships.
This time he was bound to win Balangya, and he wanted to show the natives what happened to him if he betrayed the noble Spaniards! Let the troublemakers behind them see that the sun never sets in the empire is not something that anyone can bully casually!
The soldiers had a simple breakfast and went ashore. Even with Franco's big defeat, they didn't have much fear of the impending battle. In the minds of many, the war was lost entirely because Franco was too straw to beat even the yellow-skinned monkeys who could not be planted in these fields.
They lined up in a neat formation and walked majestically in the direction of Barangya.
Half an hour later, a soldier came to Aoraza's side. @η²Ύε\/Shuge Error-free Debut~~
"Your Excellency. There seems to be someone in front! β
"Who? Is Franco them? β
"I don't know, it doesn't look like there are many people." The soldier replied truthfully.
Could it be that Franco sent someone to greet him? Thinking of this, Oraza was a little angry, when did he still engage in these vain things.
Angry, he came to the front of the line and looked at it with a telescope.
Hey?
There is no red hair, and the costume is also very strange, not his own person.
What is this thumbs up for here?
What is that thin tube?
Oraza with a telescope was confused.
If it's not one of your own, it's the rebels. But this rebel army looks like there are only 100 people, could it be that they are coming to stop themselves?
Hey~ guys who don't think about it.
When you get into the range of the musket, you will know that it is the most advanced firearm in the world.
He was just about to give the order to move on, when suddenly there was a cannon sound in the distance, not loud, but it attracted everyone's attention, including Oraza.
Auraza was about to put the telescope in front of him again to see what was going on, when he suddenly remembered the sound of an explosion behind him. He looked back in the direction the explosion had come from. At the center of the explosion, the nearest soldiers were lifted like rags and fell to the ground motionless. And those who were a little farther away were also wounded by shrapnel and wailed in the end.
Before Oraza could react, another shell exploded, exactly where he had just been. Horaza broke out in a cold sweat and quickly got under the car carrying the artillery, curled up in a ball.
Oraza stopped, but the explosions didn't, blasting in tandem across their camp.
The soldiers at the center of the explosion suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers began to flee in all directions, and the scene instantly fell into chaos. In particular, the indigenous puppet army, even if they wore the same armor as the Spanish soldiers, in the face of the sudden attack, the rabble nature was exposed.
Listening to the shouts and screams behind him, Oraza didn't dare to move at all.
He doesn't know if others are afraid of death, but he must be afraid of death.
I don't know how long it took, but it was hell in Auraza's heart anyway. When the fire subsided, Oraza pulled out his binoculars, got out of the car, and quietly looked into the distance. What I saw was the scene of Lu Jiang and Zheng Zhibao leading people to evacuate.
Oraza quietly breathed a sigh of relief, now that they were gone, it meant that they would not be bombarded with artillery again.
I don't have to die for a while.
Just as he was secretly rejoicing, the screams behind him caught his attention again.
"My eyes! My eyes! β
A soldier covered his face, blood streaming from between his fingers.
He had just been knocked unconscious, and when he woke up, he found that he could no longer see. His desperate voice made Oraza extremely angry, and he forced himself to calm down and command the uninjured soldiers to save them. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Helping the wounded.
It's been an hour since I survived.
"How many people died?"
"Three hundred and five! More than 200 soldiers were too wounded to continue their march! β
Oraza clenched his fists.
By this time he already knew why Franco had been defeated, and it was clear that the rebels had mastered a powerful, long-range, and portable artillery. No! Not the rebels! It's Akito!
He remembered the soldier who had just shelled himself, definitely not a Dutchman!
Since he is not a Dutchman, he is undoubtedly a Ming man!
Oraza gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he didn't buy your seeds, and secretly provoked the indigenous rebellion we ruled! Simply despicable!
"Return the wounded to the ship, and the rest move on!"
Oraza gritted his teeth and gave the order.
An hour later, they were reconciled with Franco.
Franco thought that Oraza would be afraid of him, but his boss just patted him on the shoulder.
"When we came, we were attacked with artillery."
"Is it the kind of artillery that doesn't have legs long?"
"Yes! How do you know? β
"We were attacked by them in the early hours of yesterday morning, and more than 200 people were killed on the spot. And from yesterday to now, there are constantly soldiers dying. I've sent a message to your lordship, haven't you received it? Franco said in a low tone.
"Nope. We came directly from the sea and did not land on the southern coast. β
No wonder.
"How many people died this time?"
"Three hundred and five, and two hundred wounded, I sent someone back. It can be counted as a reduction of seven or eight hundred people. Fortunately, most of the casualties were natives. At present, there are about 1,400 regular troops and more than 2,400 puppet soldiers. How many do you have left? β
"One thousand and five regular troops, two thousand and one puppet troops."
"So much death?"
Franco stopped talking, and when he met these old yin who ran away with a few shots, everyone had to collapse.
Fortunately, Oraza, who saw the power of the opponent's mortar, didn't say anything, and the strength of the two sides was not to be underestimated, plus three hundred large and small artillery, not to mention the small Balangya. Even the city of Gelanza in Taiwan has to rest in the face of such a powerful armed force.
"My lord, without further ado, let's set out to attack Balangya now?"
"Good!"
Orazza came, and Franco had a backbone. For the rest of the war, he only had to follow Oraza's orders. As for the outcome of the game, it is no longer up to him to decide.
At the same time as Oraza and the others set off, Zheng Zhibao, Kang Li and others were also organizing the evacuation of people in the city.
After they had given up the bombardment, they headed south along the coastline, and it was their luck that they met the large force of Oraza. Since I ran into it, I'm really sorry for such a good opportunity if I didn't get a few shots. Hence the tragedy of the ambush of Oraza.
Conley himself was reluctant to run, and he didn't think the Spaniards could get in. But Zheng Zhibao frightened him by saying that the other party had sent hundreds of artillery pieces to flatten Balangya to the ground. Conley was frightened and quickly organized an evacuation.
When Oraza led his army to the outside of Balanga, he was faced with a gate that was once again open!
