"Boom, boom, boom......"

The artillery on the shore was firing, and the artillery on the battleship was also bombarding, and the huge roar of artillery drowned out any other sound in the city of Manila.

In the era when there were no flowering shells, relying only on the bombardment of solid shells such as iron bullets and chain bullets, even if they hit the target, the power was actually limited, at most the city wall was broken, and the warship had an extra hole. A little more luck was that the city wall broke a corner, and the warship broke a big hole.

The Ming warships relied on their numerical superiority, braving the artillery bombardment of the Spanish and Dutch, and after approaching the port, they did not need to aim, but tried to blast out iron bullets, chain shells and other shells, just like they didn't want money.

Oh no, it's not that you don't want money, but it's like these solid bullets are hot, and you can smash them out as fast as you can.

There were so many solid bullets fired by the Ming army that there was such a scene: a piece of artillery bombardment by the Spaniards, the iron bullet whistled out, but as soon as it took off, an iron bullet of the Ming army flew head-on, collided in the air, and made a loud "pop".

Even with the help of the artillery on the head of the city, there were too many artillery pieces of the Ming army. In particular, the Ming warships were attacking at the risk of being hit. If you shoot me one iron bullet, I can pay you back three.

Under such an offensive, the Spanish and Dutch warships that retreated to the port of Manila were soon unable to resist, and even with the artillery support of the city, they were suppressed by the Ming artillery.

As a result, in the Ming fleet, some warships began to approach the seashore and could not dock, and the Ming soldiers jumped off the boats one after another, jumped to the beach like dumplings, and then waded to the shore.

One, two...... More and more Ming troops began to gather on the shore.

Seeing this situation on the battlefield, Diego, the governor of Luzon in Spain, no longer knew how many times he had gone to wipe his sweat, and no longer cared about the so-called gentlemanly demeanor, and shouted loudly: "Quick, the musket team is ready, the Ming infantry army is going to attack the city!" ”

"What are you dwarfs doing, prepare to defend the city! Stone me, if you can't do it, give me a counterattack! ”

"And you, where are your men? Are you blind, didn't you see that the Ming army was going to attack the city, and you were watching a play in the east? Why don't you go and transfer it now! ”

"You go to the street and give orders, and everyone will give me to go up to the city to defend. This city is going to be broken, everyone will die, and it's useless to hide from the fart! ”

“……”

The Ming army put on a posture of wanting to capture Manila in one go, so that Diego felt that the troops on the western wall were not enough. Worried that he would not be able to hold on, he had to draw troops from other sections of the city wall.

This time, the Ming army's attack was too sudden, and it seriously exceeded Diego's expectations. Otherwise, he would not have sent Philott to find the Ming army's food and grass supplies, nor would he have let West lead people to pursue the remnants of the Ming army, let alone look forward to meeting with the governor of Batavia to discuss the battle plan against the Ming army.

Otherwise, simply drawing men from the indigenous tribes to defend Manila City would have increased the number of men. Thinking of this, Diego cursed that Fidnandi was really not a thing, but the day before the Ming army came to attack Manila, he had to lead people to hunt down the remnants of the Ming people......

Thinking of this, Diego was suddenly startled.

Fidinandi and West have been out for so long and have not seen any trace of them, even if Manila Bay is like this, there is no trace of them, should it be ......

Immediately, he remembered what Fidnandi had told him that he had sent fifty or so men, only to disappear without a sound. Looking back now, the remnants of the Ming people should not have this strength, could it be that the Ming army appeared yesterday?

But if the Ming army came over so early, could they have calculated that this time it would be calm and suitable for the army to go to sea? Aren't you afraid that the wind and waves will rise again, and their army will be overturned and fed to the fish?

"Smack......

There was a loud bang, near Diego, and it was an iron bullet that didn't have long eyes that fell near him, and it didn't fall on him, so frightened that he came back to his senses, and quickly focused his attention on the present again, not daring to think about other things anymore.

Diego looked intently, and saw that there were already a lot of Ming infantry troops who had disembarked from the ship, although they did not attack, they might have seen that they were still unloading equipment from the warship. There were heavy artillery, cars, improvised ladders, and so on.

Obviously, they are well prepared to attack Manila, and this attack on Manila should be an inevitable battle.

With this conclusion, Diego's sweat came out again.

But fortunately, the offensive on the side of the Ming warships has eased a lot, and there is not so much cannon sound.

Diego hurriedly looked at the sea in the direction of the port again, and saw that the front-line warships of the Ming Kingdom were slowly retreating. It can be seen that about half of the hulls of these retreating warships are damaged.

"Bastard, disgusting!" Diego just watched for a moment, and then suddenly burst out scolding. At a time when the sound of the cannon was already much quieter, it became extremely loud again.

The reason why he is so angry is not for anything else, but because the Ming army is too bullying!

The withdrawal of the Ming warships that were bombarded before does not mean that the war at sea is over. Instead, the Ming fleet took advantage of their numerical superiority to withdraw these warships that had participated in the war, and to replace them with warships that had not yet had the opportunity to participate in the war.

However, the remnants of the Spanish and Dutch warships were already bullied by the Ming army with more fights and less beating, just like an adult beating a child, not to mention a beating, and another adult came up to fight, what is this called, this is too bullying!

"Bastard, disgusting, bastard, disgusting......" Diego scolded viciously for a while, and then he didn't care about scolding anymore, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to strengthen the defense of the port again, and even transfer all the artillery at the end of the other city walls to take advantage of this effort, otherwise, it is likely that it will not be able to withstand the second wave of the Ming army's offensive.

He felt the same way, as well as Anthony, the governor of Batavia, the Dutch Governor, who was tied to the bow of the ship. At this time, he had completely re-understood the Far Eastern Empire.

With the national strength of this great empire in the Far East, once it really launched a war machine, no matter which country's colonial companies could not be its opponents. No matter how backward the warships are, the artillery is not comparable, but the people are completely victorious in numbers, and they can crush any in the Far East. It's really ridiculous that he was still thinking of joining forces with Spain at that time to cut off the idea of the Ming Kingdom reaching out to the South Seas. It's a pipe dream!

Look, even if you are not ambushed by the Ming army, rush to Manila to join the Spaniards and then deal with the Ming army, at most, it will only make the Ming army lose some more ships and people, and the outcome is destined to not change! Not to mention, the Ming Kingdom still has a huge fleet on the side of the Wa Kingdom!

"Alas......" Anthony thought about this, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

…………

On the side of the Ming army, after completing the rotation of battleships, a new batch of battleships forced the port of Anila again, and like the first time, it was as if those iron bullets were hot potatoes, desperately blasting out.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The roar of artillery is once again the main theme of many songs on the Manila side.

The already dilapidated Spanish and Dutch warships could no longer withstand the onslaught of the Ming army, and the sailors jumped into the sea one after another, or simply brought the battleship to the dock, and the sailors began to flee to Manila.

On the shore in the distance, the Ming infantry army with their siege equipment also began to drive towards the city of Manila.

Seeing all this, Diego felt like he was going to end.

However, it is impossible to let him sit back. Shouting, urging, and scolding his men to defend themselves.

However, just as he was shouting to strengthen the defense in the direction of the western port, suddenly one of his men ran almost crawling on the ground, shouting at him while dodging the bombardment of the Ming artillery outside the city.

However, the artillery bombardment above and below the city, as well as other sounds, was so noisy that Diego couldn't hear what he was shouting. But faintly, he felt a little bad in his heart when he saw that subordinate so flustered.

The man rushed in front of Diego and almost didn't hit him, but he didn't think to apologize for the collision with His Excellency the Governor, but shouted at Diego in a straight voice: "Ming army...... The Ming army has attacked! ”

Isn't this nonsense, I don't see the Ming army rushing over, and I want you to run over in such a panic to tell you?

However, before he could reprimand, he saw the hand of this man pointing in the direction of the east.

When he came back to his senses, Diego's already defeated face suddenly turned even whiter, and he confirmed in disbelief: "There is also a Ming army in the east?" ”

"It's going to be attacked right away!" The subordinate had a sad face, and nodded again and again, "Your Excellency the Governor hurry up and send reinforcements, it's too late!" ”

The moment he heard his words clearly, Diego's head suddenly went blank, and he couldn't figure it out, how could the Ming army appear in the east? It's impossible!

After being stunned for a while, he came back to his senses, of course, he was not willing to end like this, and hurriedly began to call people to send people to reinforce the eastern city wall. There was no artillery suppression there, and even the musket team was transferred to the west, and the defense was too weak, so reinforcements must be hurried.

However, before he could finish deploying his manpower, he heard a loud cheer suddenly from the east gate. The sound of this sound could not be concealed even by the roar of artillery.

Turning his head, Diego saw that in the east direction, a torrent of red was swarming into the city, and then divided into many streams, either attacking the sides of the wall, continuing the attack along the wall, or scattering in the streets.

That red is so dazzling!

Not only that, at this moment, I saw the fireworks at the east gate bursting, colorful, even in the daytime, you can see it clearly. One and another, it is clearer.

There is no doubt that this is a flare, and Akito sends it off with fireworks that they are good at.
