"The ladder is coming up!" An indigenous person shouted in surprise.

The natives in the back carried improvised ladders and poured into the city of Manila. When the aborigines' ladder arrived, they immediately erected it on the wall of the building, and groups of aborigines climbed along the ladder. At this moment, the muzzles of black holes protruded from the shooting holes, and the sound of gunshots like bursting beans rang out, and patches of natives fell from the ladder.

With a loud bang, a clay pot bomb landed on the edge of a ladder and exploded, which broke in two, and the natives on it fell down like dumplings.

More and more ladders were erected, and at last the natives climbed onto the roof.

"Quick, find the entrance!" Seeing that the flat roof was empty, an indigenous man who looked like a small leader shouted.

"The entrance is here!" An indigenous man shouted.

The natives found a hole in the roof that led to the bottom, but the staircase inside had long since been removed, and in order to enter the house, they had to jump down. The natives standing on the roof looked at each other, not knowing who to let go down first. Everyone knows that the first one to go down, God knows what awaits him inside.

"You, go down!" The small leader of the Aboriginal pointed a knife at an Aborigine.

The chosen natives did not dare to resist at all, so they walked to the entrance of the cave with trepidation, and looked inside, only to see that it was pitch black, and had no idea what was waiting inside. Just when he was hesitating, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and the little leader's knife rested on his neck, only to hear the little leader roar: "Go down!" ”

The native had no choice but to hold on to the edge of the cave with both hands and go down on his legs first, keeping the distance to the ground as short as possible. It felt almost over, and the indigenous man mustered up his courage and let go of his hands, and the whole person fell. He heard only a "plop" sound, and his feet fell to the ground, but before he could stand firmly, he heard a soft foot, a thin layer of wood could not support his weight, and a large hole was exposed underneath, and the native screamed and fell into the trap, covered with bamboo knives.

"There's a trap down there!" The natives standing on the roof looked at each other, and no one dared to go down.

At this moment, a row of people suddenly stood on the opposite roof, and the light shone through, followed by a row of gunshots, and the natives standing on the roof fell down one after another as if they had been shot alive.

The natives who climbed up one after another also learned wisely, and they climbed up to the roof with sandbags, and after climbing on the roof, they threw sandbags through the hole and filled the trap. Then an aboriginal lit a torch and jumped down, but as soon as he jumped into the house, he heard a gunshot from inside, and the aboriginal snorted in mid-air, like a sandbag, and fell on the sandbag pile below, and his bloody body twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.

After more than a dozen aboriginal casualties, someone finally entered the house. The natives lit the house with torches and looked around, but the room was empty, with shooting holes on three walls and a hole in one wall that allowed people to bend down and enter. Apparently, the guards stationed inside must have gone out of the hole.

One of the natives bent down and stuck his head into the hole, and just as he was about to burrow through the hole on the other side, he heard a gust of wind above his head, and before he could react, his head rolled to the ground.

In the other direction, several natives found that there were holes in the walls of the buildings that had been smashed by solid shells, and although people could not get through the holes, the bricks on the walls that had been bombarded by the shells were no longer solid, so they pulled out the bricks and enlarged the hole, and then someone got into the hole.

"Light the torch and see." Someone outside handed in a torch.

The natives inside took the torches and turned around. Someone outside reached through the hole and lit a torch, and the natives inside lit the torch and searched the house, but he found nothing, so he shouted outside: "There is nothing inside, the damned Han people don't know where to hide." ”

The natives outside widened the hole and went into the houses one after another, and they searched for a long time, but they did not find a single figure.

"Cowardly Han Chinese! They have such good weapons, but they are still so cowardly! What kind of hero is he who hides and hides? If you have the ability, you will come out and fight openly! An indigenous leader scolded.

On the Spanish artillery position in the rear, a Spanish soldier came back to report: "Report to the sir, the natives have occupied more than a dozen buildings, but not a single hair of the Han people has been found in the buildings!" They don't know where to hide! The natives found the hole that connected the building, but when they got there, they were either shot to death or hacked to death. ”

"The Han people are indeed cunning!" Rodriguez frowned, "They turned every building into a castle, and each castle was connected to each other, so that we could only destroy them by flattening all the buildings!" But we don't have that many shells and gunpowder to waste. In this way, let the indigenous people take it step by step, little by little! As long as all the neighborhoods in the south of the city are occupied, the Han people will have to go north and fall within the range of our castle cannons! ”

Under the command of Spanish officers, the natives began to march step by step. After they occupy a building, they leave a group of people to guard the house, and then attack the surrounding buildings, and after controlling it, they slowly expand the area of control.

"If the natives are in action, we will fight back against them!" Liu Qi gave the order.

The Nanyang Company escort team launched a counterattack, and in a building controlled by the natives, several grenades emitting green smoke suddenly rolled from the side of the hole, followed by an explosion. Before the smoke was extinguished, bullets were fired from the hole, and several members of the Nanyang Company escort rushed over and killed the natives who remained in the house with rifles and bayonets.

"Ahh A native was stabbed with a bayonet, and the Nanyang Company guards, who had already used a three-edged bayonet, stabbed the native into the body, pulled out the bayonet, and the wound left in the body was bleeding profusely, and the bleeding could not be stopped at all. The native felt his strength disappear, his body getting cold, and soon his consciousness began to blur.

In another building, the Nanyang Company guards also launched a counterattack, they suddenly rushed into the house through the hidden hole reserved on the other side, and the first officer fired a series of six-round pistols, knocking over several natives. The guards who followed closely behind went up with bayonets and knocked over all the natives in the house.

Everywhere there were Nanyang Company convoys fighting back, and the buildings that the natives had captured at great cost were recaptured by the Han Chinese with only one counterattack.
