Chapter 361: Suicide Attack

Liu Qi sneered: "Sure enough, as the commander expected, the Spaniards didn't dare to deal with us Han by themselves, but they instigated the local natives to deal with us!" Now that they're here, let them know we're awesome! We Han people are no longer the fat sheep slaughtered by our predecessors decades ago! ”

Two miles to the south of the Han people's residential area, there were black and oppressive natives, and looking at this posture, there were at least 15,000 people. However, the weapons of the natives were very poor, most of them wore trousers made of leaves or a cloth around them, armed with arrows made of wood spears and bones, and wooden shields on their arms, and only a few had scimitars, iron spears, and feathered arrows made of iron arrows, and there were less than 400 musketeers among the natives, and there were no artillery. It is clear that the natives were a rabble of tribes improvised by several tribes at the instigation of the Spaniards.

There were only more than 3,000 Han people in Manila, most of the women, children, old and weak had already been transferred, leaving only 800 escorts and more than 2,000 young men, although the number of Han people was small, but everyone had a gun, and the young men who stayed to fight had a flintlock pistol with bayonets, 800 escorts, 30 Mini sniper rifles, 100 breech rifled guns, 600 Mini rifles, and four hand-cranked machine guns.

"The enemy's strength is at least five times that of us!" Said a young man with a smoothbore gun in his hand.

"Don't be afraid, they're all rabble!" A guard beside him said.

"Yes, not afraid of them!" The young man with the smoothbore nodded. He thought to himself: Actually, we are also a rabble, but there are hundreds of soldiers around us.

This Han young man was right, in fact, the young and middle-aged men of the Han people who stayed to fight were just a group of rabble, but the armed civilians of the Han people were supported by the escort team, and those guards were all veterans who had retired from the Qiongzhou Army, who was not experienced in a hundred battles and killed many enemies.

"Attention!" Several heralds ran back and forth, saying to the civilians with muskets in their hands, "Don't shoot indiscriminately, let the natives in and fight!" ”

The guards, armed with Minnie rifled guns, stood up, walked out of the house with cats bent over, and climbed onto the roof.

The natives got closer and closer to the city, and when they were still two hundred and fifty steps away from the city, they suddenly saw tongues of fire erupting from the building, and the smoke of gunpowder rose up, followed by a burst of crackling gunshots, and the bullets drilled into the crowd of the natives, and a burst of blood splashed everywhere, and immediately knocked down more than a dozen people, and the screams came one after another.

"Rush over!" A Tuwang wearing a golden silk vest shouted.

Thirty Minnie sniper rifles fired, knocking down more than a dozen natives, but it was just a small stone thrown into the sea, and the small splash was quickly drowned by the crowd behind. Thousands of natives shouted and charged into the city.

The "bang-bang-bang" gunfire intensified, hundreds of mini-rifles and rear-loading rifled guns opened fire one after another, blood sprayed from the crowd, and the charging natives fell one after another. A round of gunfire and at least more than 200 natives fell. However, the loss of more than 200 people is only a drop in the bucket for the natives.

"There are few Han people! Rush up and kill them all! One of the earth kings roared hoarsely.

Not long after, the second round of gunfire rang out again, but this round of gunfire was much sparser, after all, only a hundred breech-loading rifled guns could shoot relatively quickly, and the bullets drilled into the crowd and knocked down dozens of people.

The natives had already rushed closer, and the natives with muskets and bows and arrows in their hands fired indiscriminately into the city, but the distance was too far, and the Han people were hiding in the buildings, so the natives' muskets and bows and arrows had no effect at all. But the Han civilians were not much better, and many young people pulled the trigger of the smoothbore gun early, but at such a distance, the bullets fired did not have any accuracy, and they hid in the building, unable to form dense firepower, and the bullets fired were empty.

In this regard, Liu Qi could only shake his head in disappointment: civilians are civilians, civilians with guns are still civilians, and they cannot be compared with the army at all. It seems that he mainly relies on his own 800 escorts.

Although the convoy was well-armed, they were too few after all, and the rate of fire of either Minnie rifles or paper cartridge rear-loading rifled guns was not very fast, and it was impossible to stop the natives from rushing into the city.

"Our warriors rushed in! We won! Seeing his warriors rushing into the city, the earth kings of several tribes danced with excitement. You must know how many good things the Han people in Manila have, the Han people have beautiful silk, exquisite porcelain, white rice, mellow wine, and Han women with fine skin and tender meat.

On weekdays, in order to make money from the Han Chinese, and to keep the Han and the indigenous people in check, there was still order in Manila, and robbery and theft were punished. Nowadays, it is the Spanish colonizers who deliberately let the indigenous people rob the Han Chinese, which is a great thing for the indigenous people. After all, the natives near Manila on Luzon Island did not know the ferocity of the Han Chinese, and Wang Yu's massacres and captives were mainly aimed at the Celestial Sects in the East Indies and the Shengfan on the islands such as Kalimantan.

When Liu Qi saw the natives rushing into the city, he sneered: What I am waiting for is for you to enter the city!

The natives rushed into the city, and the guards pulled their grenades, pulled the strings, and threw them into the neighborhood. A large number of natives rushed into the city, and a large crowd crowded the streets, only to cause grenades to fall into the crowd and explode, causing flames to rise, and scattered shrapnel to provoke bursts of blood, and countless natives fell in screams.

This was just the beginning, as four hand-cranked, eleven-barreled machine guns arranged on both flanks of the block protruded from their firing holes and aimed at the middle of the block, and the machine gunners shook their handles with a command to "fire".

Four tongues of fire erupted from the holes, and bullets from both sides formed a crossfire, enveloping the natives in the middle. The powerful metal bullet shell bullet is not comparable to the paper bullet bullet with lead or iron bullet, and the metal bullet shell with great penetration penetrates the human body, and it often takes several people to penetrate before losing kinetic energy. Torrential rain of bullets splattered blood in the crowd, and piles of natives fell screaming.

"Oh my God! What kind of weapon is that? The natives behind were shocked and turned around and ran.

Gunshots rang out one after another, and the collapsed natives fled for their lives, and the whistling bullets chased after them from behind, and the natives who fell behind let out screams one after another, spurting bloody swords from their backs, and falling down one after another.

The aborigines did not hurt a single Han Chinese, but left more than 2,000 corpses inside and outside the city.
