Lu Jiang smiled and rubbed his palms, looking eager to try.

I've had enough of the delicate things of mortars these days, and I'm a little nostalgic for this rugged hell cannon.

But then again, this hell cannon is good, but the range is shorter. It's not that it can't be hit, it's that the accuracy is too low.

Lu Jiang planned to pull the Hell Cannon to a distance of 200 steps outside the city, so as to ensure a high accuracy of artillery bombardment.

After Zheng Zhibao began to order the soldiers to shoot at each other with the defenders in the city, Lu Jiang decided to set off.

Due to the large size of the Hell Cannon, it was not easy to travel on the uneven roads outside the city, even with the addition of later bearings and wide tires. So Lu Jiang allocated ten people to each hell cannon, four cannons, four cannonballs, and two for shooting. In this way, the speed of travel can be fully guaranteed, and as long as you enter the blind spot of the opponent's artillery, there will be no more danger.

Five hundred soldiers dispersed, in groups of ten, and quickly rushed in the direction of the walls of Manila.

As soon as they set out, they quickly attracted the attention of the soldiers defending the city.

Eloyin happened to be in charge of the defense of this section, and when he saw this group of soldiers pulling the hell cannon, he panicked for no reason, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

Although he did not know what they were pulling, he had seen the power of mortars. Seeing that this cannon barrel is so much thicker than a mortar, could it be that it is a secret weapon newly created by the Ming people?

"Everyone obey the order, aim at the enemy rushing towards us, and destroy as many artillery as they can!"

As soon as Eloyin gave this order, the situation of the soldiers who rushed forward immediately became different.

Due to the artillery fire, the soldiers almost used their own strength to feed. But even so, thirteen hell cannons were hit, eight of the barrels were smashed and deformed, five of the wheels of the bearings were broken, and the soldiers were killed on the spot as many as seventy or eighty!

Lu Jiang's face is not very good-looking, you must know that among the dead people are the soldiers he brought from the capital thousands of miles away! But when I came, it was fine, but I couldn't go back.

However, after losing so many artillery pieces and soldiers, they also managed to enter the blind spot of artillery firing, and the range of the muskets was not enough, so they became the safest group of people on the battlefield at this time.

At this time, they were already very close to the city wall, and the more Eloyin looked, the more he felt that what they were pulling was not ordinary.

In other words, this Zheng Zhilong has also been stationed outside the city for nearly twenty days, and he probably won't send out artillery that is not very powerful. This cannon has a strange shape, it is eccentric, and it is definitely not easy to mess with.

"Musketeers prepare!" Eloyin shouted.

He made up his mind that he would never allow them near the walls.

But he was destined to be disappointed, and the people led by Lu Jiang had no intention of approaching the city wall at all. Instead, he stopped about two hundred paces outside the city walls.

Seeing this, Eloyin was numb.

He had already seen the other side begin to adjust the muzzle of the cannon with impunity under his nose.

What to do!?

Eloyin's brain spun racing.

But he looked around and saw that he didn't have any weapons that could attack two hundred paces away.

"Shoot!"

In desperation, he had no choice but to give the order to open fire. Although they know that their muskets can't reach the range, maybe the sound of gunfire can scare them away?

"Bang!"

The soldiers lit the arquebus on the gun, which ignited the gunpowder in the chamber and fired the bullet.

The bullet drew an invisible arc in the air and landed steadily dozens of steps in front of Lu Jiang and the others.

Lu Jiang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the city and laughed sarcastically.

Eloyin was angry, but helpless.

Lu Jiang didn't care about this, he checked the adjustment of the hell cannon one by one.

"One set is ready!"

"The second group is ready!"

Soon, the remaining thirty-seven cannons were all angled. Lu Jiang took out a small flag and raised it with a shout.

"Listen to me! Get on the cannonballs!"

Watching the soldiers neatly fill the gas canister, his little flag waved down!

"Fire!"

The soldier in charge of igniting the fire ignited the propellant made of fertilizer and sugar with a windproof lighter that had been prepared for a long time, and the gas canister burst into the sky!

At this moment, the eyes of the people on both sides of the battlefield were focused on these thirty-seven hell cannons.

Zheng Zhilong and the others already knew the power of the cannon, so they waited to see how lethal the salvo of more than thirty artillery pieces could bring.

But Eloyin didn't know that he looked at the round, fat, and cute little tail of the gas canister on the back. A chill swelled up inexplicably in Eloyin's heart!

"Hidden!"

He shouted.

The soldiers are naturally not ***, and at this time, they all saw that something was not right, and they each found a place to cat.

Soon, they learned that it was not enough for the cat to get up.

The soldiers did not control the landing point of the first cannon very accurately, and out of the thirty-seven shells, more than 20 hit the city, and a few hit the wall. Less than 10 shots landed on the city.

But that's enough.

This kind of artillery shell once destroyed a four-story building three times on a certain sub-battlefield, and set a terrifying record of killing more than 300 people with one shell.

In addition, the gas tank contained not only explosives, but also rusty iron sheets, nails, and other waste. With the current medical conditions, not to mention being killed by the explosion, even being pierced into the body by rusty iron nails, I am afraid it is enough to drink a pot.

After the smoke of gunpowder, the artillery, musketeers, from the Spanish regular army, to the indigenous puppet army. At this point, there was no one left standing. As for Eloyin, who was loyal to His Majesty the King of Spain, he had already left the world as he wished.

There was no longer any resistance at the head of the city. The soldiers in the castle were in a slightly better situation, but only better. The huge vibration directly made their eyes black, their ears deaf, and their internal organs ached, obviously suffering from internal injuries. Especially the few pieces that hit the city wall, directly blowing up the city wall into big gaps. I'm afraid that if they carry a few more, their proud fortress will collapse under this powerful cannonball.

Zheng Zhilong and the others in the distance watched the smoke dissipate in a daze, and there was a silent city wall.

"Oh my mother!"

One shell and more than 30 at the same time are simply the difference between cloud and mud!

As for the soldiers behind him, they all looked like goose-headed geese.

Zheng Zhibao also stopped his men who were firing the cannon, he looked at the bulky iron guy next to him and swallowed his saliva.

It's also hairy!

Lu Jiang and the others got up from the ground, he spat out a mouthful of dust that flew into his mouth, and looked in the direction of the city. The originally majestic fortress looked a little dilapidated at this time, and the Spanish soldiers who were still standing at the head of the city just now were no longer visible.

That's what you want!

"Brethren! They haven't surrendered yet! Keep banging!"
