Chapter 353: Fire Coverage

If Eloyin were still alive, he might have jumped down from the walls and pounded his head.

Do you see that there are still people standing on the wall?

Also surrender!

Take what to surrender?

Lu Jiang doesn't care about these, the hell cannon is extremely tightly controlled, and it is in a mothballed state on weekdays, and the shells are all used at any time, and there is no reserve at all. Rao is that he has only seen it once, how can he fight such a rich battle?

Since these dozens of cannons were handed over to him at this time, he had to enjoy everything!

He never forgot a phrase that circulated among the soldiers:

If you are poor, you will strike accurately, and if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower!

Isn't that the time for the fire to cover!

With the small flag in Lu Jiang's hand rising and falling again.

Thirty-seven more gas canisters flew out. There was still a loud noise, a shaking, and a lot of smoke.

At this time, the head of the city that was not dead just now is now completely dead.

The soldiers in the castle were also shocked, and some of the soldiers were bleeding, not to mention hearing, and they had completely fainted. Those who could barely walk did not dare to stay any longer, and fled as fast as possible.

"The red-haired ghost is stubborn! Don't even surrender! Brethren! Keep banging!"

Looking at the dilapidated city wall, Lu Jiang shouted excitedly!

Then another round of explosions!

At this time, let alone the wall, there are no living people within the wall within a hundred paces of the city wall.

Zheng Zhilong saw this posture and hurriedly sent Zheng Zhibao to run up to stop Lu Jiang.

"General Lu! Don't blow it up! There's no one!"

Zheng Zhibao ran over from a distance, pointing in the direction of the city wall and shouting as he ran.

Lu Jiang sighed unsatisfied.

Of course he knew that there was no one, but wasn't it enjoyable?

When Zheng Zhibao ran closer, he spoke:

"General Zheng, I plan to use artillery to bombard a way directly, let's attack the city directly!"

"But don't!" Zheng Zhibao waved his hand again and again. "There aren't many cannonballs, can you save some of them?"

"Okay!" Lu Jiang nodded and agreed. "Look at the other walls."

Zheng Zhilong did not have the right to directly order Lu Jiang, but Lu Jiang was still very face-saving.

He didn't continue firing, but moved directly with his men to the other side of the wall. After they changed their target, Zheng Zhilong directly gave the order to attack the city.

But then Lu Jiang was very disappointed, and when they came to the east city wall with their cannons, there was no one at the head of the city.

Come to think of it, the north side was bombed like that, and there were few people who escaped alive.

Why don't you run anymore?

Wait for them to come and blow them up or wait for them to enter the city and take them as prisoners?

The most important thing is that their governor, Serezo, who had only been in office for a few days, also ran away.

After Lu Jiang fired the first shot, the loud noise alarmed Serezuo, who had planned to get closer to see the situation after running out, but after witnessing the power of the second round of shells on the way there, he immediately turned around and turned back.

Where else to go? Looking for death? And fortunately, I didn't go just now, otherwise I am afraid that I would have been bombed everywhere now.

He went straight back to the Governor's Palace with his men, and without stopping at all, he beckoned his family to pack his things and leave Manila.

Fortunately, I have been in office for a short time, and I really don't have much possessions except for the things I brought. Since I was prepared to escape in advance, I even packed up my belongings.

Ignoring the panicked people and soldiers in the city, he went straight out of the city gate from the west side, and then got on the two warships he had left behind. But he didn't plan to leave Manila Bay, but made a detour to Caveit. Then he landed on the shore and landed on land. Then he ran in the direction of Batangas with a few hundred henchmen.

When he fled, the entire city of Manila was completely chaotic.

The Spanish soldiers did the same, and the city was no longer defended, so they ran back to their lodgings to pack up their belongings and flee.

Without them to maintain order, even the indigenous puppet army was in chaos

Get up. Some families went back to pack their things, and those who were alone began to gather in groups of three or five, taking advantage of the chaos to rob some rich families in the city.

Because of this, when Lu Jiang came to the east outside the city, there was no soldier defending the city at the head of the city.

He was torn between bombardment and non-bombardment, and finally heard the chaotic noise in the city, and realized that there was already great chaos in the city, so he gave up the idea of continuing the bombardment.

Seeing that the other party had given up resistance, Zheng Zhilong gave the order for a general attack, and more than 10,000 soldiers surrounded on three sides launched an assault on the city wall.

This time the attack went remarkably well, with no resistance and no casualties.

When the vanguard opened the gates, more than 10,000 soldiers poured into the city of Manila!

It was the first time in decades that a force other than the Spaniards had entered Manila.

As soon as the soldiers entered the city, they quickly took control of several important passages in and out of Manila, completely blocking the way out of the city.

Then, the soldiers began to forcefully suppress the unrest in the city.

The Spaniards who didn't have time to escape, the puppet army who took advantage of the fire to loot, and the indigenous people who fled in all directions.

Just resist. Die!

Non-stop commands. Die!

With the blessing of steel knives and muskets, the situation in the city was quickly brought under control.

But when Zheng Zhilong came to the Governor's Palace, he found that it was already empty. Don't say anything governor, not even anything of value is gone. The things that could be taken away in the Governor's Mansion have long been emptied, such as tables, chairs, bedding, iron pots, etc., etc., and it is almost necessary to put a torch on the Governor's Palace.

Hey! Boy!

Zheng Zhilong walked around the mansion and didn't find anything valuable. Until a soldier found a native in a tree, dragged him down and brought him to Zheng Zhilong.

"Who are you?"

"Your Excellency spares your life!" This natives keep kowtowing. "I am a servant in the Doge's Palace!"

"Where have all the people in the house gone?"

"The new Governor ran away with his people, and the Governor's Mansion was in chaos, and everyone fled!"

"The new Governor?" Zheng Zhilong was puzzled. "What do you mean? Where did the governor come from? What about Oraza?"

"Oraza has been dismissed, and the new governor is called Serezo, and he runs away as soon as the cannon fires."

Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a moment.

He had been out of town for nearly twenty days, and he didn't know what was going on in Manila.

"And what are you doing here?"

"I want to steal something of value. Spare me, sir!" The servant kept kowtowing.

Zheng Zhilong was annoyed and kicked him away.

"Get out of the way, who's you! I'm not as ugly as you!"

Zheng Zhilong didn't find Oraza, and he was a little disappointed.

He had planned to catch Oraza and humiliate him, but he didn't expect him to escape.

His men quickly found out the direction in which Serezuo fled, but when they learned that he had gone to sea, Zheng Zhilong did not give any further orders to chase him.

One is that you can't catch up, but you don't have to worry about things at sea.

What he didn't know was that Serezuo was still on land at this time, and the reason why he didn't run away directly from the land was to confuse Zheng Zhilong. It has to be said that his ploy succeeded.

The artillery fire in Manila shook the sky, and naturally alarmed the warships docked in the bay. But when they drove over, they encountered many soldiers and civilians who had escaped by boat, and only then did they know that the Ming people had captured Manila Bay, and for a while, even the soldiers on the boat were in chaos.
