Dozens of miles away from the mouth of the Tamsui River, hundreds of ships are sailing slowly on the sea. Zheng Zhilong stood on the deck of a huge fortune ship, looking at the direction of the Tamsui River with a solemn face.

He turned his head to Zheng Zhihu beside him and said, "Hasn't the sentinel boat near the Tamsui River come back yet?" ”

Zheng Zhihu shook his head and said: "Maybe the people from the Far East Company haven't arrived yet, the news sent back from Manila just said that they had started to load the ship, but it didn't say when it would leave the port." ”

Zheng Zhibao next to him said gloomily: "Big brother, do you say that this time we are taking advantage of the chaos to beat them, even if it is to grab a few big plywood boats." Although they were strong, the fleet entered the Tamsui River, and they could not help it.

When they attacked for a few days and suffered heavy casualties, we were blocked at the mouth of the sea, and their fleet was so powerful that it was not for us to slaughter. We can break their bones and bones and break their thoughts of going north. In the future, the southeast coast is not what we say. In a few years, even if they want to come, it will depend on whether we agree or not. ”

Zheng Zhilong shook his head with a wry smile and said: "If you can not fight or not, as long as they suffer under these two castles, they also have to slow down the idea of going north, why should we tear our faces with them." I always feel that the Far Eastern Company is evil, where do you say they came from, they have always said that they are from overseas and belong to the descendants of the Song family. I don't believe this, how can they act a little bit like the Song people.

Don't provoke them until we find out where they came from. Rest assured, those two cities are not so easy to fight. We waited patiently here, waiting for them to attack for two days and suffer heavy casualties. Our fleet pressed again. Hum...... With so many of our ships swinging at sea, I don't believe they dare to fight any more. ”

Zheng Zhilong, who was next to him, frowned and said, "Big brother, in this way, we will tear our faces with the Far East Company." ”

Zheng Zhilong glanced at his second brother and said with a smile: "No." Then you go to Manila and tell them that our fleet is going to help them fight the Spaniards. His words made the pirates on board laugh.

After a period of intense busyness, the troops all ascended to the east bank of the Tamsui River and began to move in the direction of the city of Santo Domingo, placing heavy troops at several exits of the castle. An artillery platoon of the War Department set up a firing position for six 82-mm mortars on the banks of the Tamsui River. An artillery company of the Far Eastern Division. Three 70-mm infantry guns and three 75-mm mountain guns were also erected near the main entrance of the castle.

At the field headquarters by the Tamsui River, Song Tao and the commanders of each detachment were watching the real-time footage transmitted by the drone. On the screen of the simple drone ground control platform, the situation in the city of Santo Domingo is clearly presented in front of everyone.

Song Tao pointed to the screen of the control platform and said, "Now the defense situation of Santo Domingo City, everyone is already clear. The castle is nice. I don't want to ruin it, so I'll take it easy when I'm attacking. Attack according to the plan we made earlier, and everyone go back and prepare. ”

As soon as the commanders of the detachments left the headquarters, the communications staff officer next to them handed over the microphone: "Ding Weiguo of the Air Force Department has requested a call. ”

As soon as Song Tao took the microphone, Ding Weiguo's voice came from the microphone: "Commander Song, the Air Force Department has been ordered to arrive, and the two delta-wing planes are all loaded with incendiary bombs in accordance with your instructions." Ask the chief to assign combat missions. ”

"Big brother. It's just a good time for you to arrive, and the troops are preparing to attack. I thought you would have to wait a while. ”

Ding Weiguo stopped doing it when he heard it, and he shouted: "Comrade Xiao Song." Your army is going to leave our air force behind and go it alone. Without the support of the Air Force, what would happen if the troops suffered casualties. ”

Song Tao was happy when he heard it, and said with a smile: "The problem is that those guys you hang up are too domineering, I still want to keep this castle, don't let you burn it down, then where will I stay at night." Get...... Who told us to be good? In a moment, you can help me build a wall of fire in the square in front of the main entrance with incendiary bombs. Block enemy support for the city gates. Big brother, you must remember. Don't throw it off, there's a house not far away, and we're going to live in it tonight. ”

"No problem, you just see, make sure to complete the task."

After talking to Ding Weiguo, the commanders of each detachment also finished preparing one after another, Song Tao picked up the microphone again and shouted: "Attention all units, start acting!" ”

The 105-mm recoilless gun carriage rushed out first, stopping almost a kilometer from the city of Santo Domingo. Several gunners began to reload and aim. The artillery observation team also began to convey the various shooting elements to the mortar positions on the shore based on the images transmitted by the drones and combined with their observations.

On the walls of Santo Domingo, Valdes and Xiao Zhong were holding binoculars, staring at the monster with a pipe outside the city, Xiao Zhong said strangely: "Captain Valdes, what is this thing?" ”

"I haven't seen it, is it the other party's artillery, I haven't seen the horse-drawn people pushing it, how can it still run so fast."

Xiao Zhong sneered: "No matter what it is, if you want to break the city, you have to rely on people." They haven't even moved a few heavy guns, and it is estimated that they will not attack the city today. ”

Valdes nodded and said, "Be careful at night, don't let them take advantage of the loopholes." ”

"Bang...... Bang ......"

A dull sound sounded, Valdes and Xiao Zhong hurriedly looked around with binoculars, and found that the sound came from the forest in the distance. They clearly saw six curved trajectories rise into the air, and then slowly descended towards the wall where they were.

Waldston struck a shock, which was the trajectory of the mortar, and he hurriedly shouted, "Hide, be careful...... They shelled ......"

Valdés's shout made the people on the city wall a little inexplicable, there was no cannon on the opposite side, where did the shelling come from. Only a few experienced Spanish soldiers chose to take cover, and the others were still lying on the walls of the city in search of the opposing artillery.

With a sharp whistling sound, six 82-mm mortar shells whistled and smashed down. The first round of shelling was not very effective, and only two mortar shells landed on the city. Exploded on the narrow walls.

In an instant, more than a dozen people flew in all directions, and a cannonball even landed on a barrel of gunpowder, which immediately detonated the gunpowder on the city wall, causing a second chain explosion and blowing up the city wall into a mess.

The artillery observation team used the real-time footage transmitted by the observation equipment and the drone. Shouting incessantly into the microphone, revising the number for the artillery position. This was followed by several rounds of shelling, which rained down on the walls of Santo Domingo.

In this era, the defenders of the city would carry gunpowder to the city, because at that time there were solid cannonballs and scattered shells, and they did not have to think about the problem of gunpowder being detonated. This time, however, the Spaniards' opponents were using modern weapons. The barrels of gunpowder piled up at the head of the city were exploded one after another, not only causing a large number of casualties, but also shattering the heavy artillery next to the powder kegs, and several even huge impact threw them under the city wall.

The walls were in complete disarray, and the Spaniards and pirates fled in all directions. In the face of such intensive bombardment. Even the most ferocious pirates can't bear it now. Valdes got up from the ground, and just as he wanted to leave the city wall, he saw that half of Xiao Zhong's head had been cut off by shrapnel and was lying in a pool of blood.

"Boom ......"

The 105-mm recoilless gun in the distance also opened fire at this time, and a 105-mm shell smashed into the city gate, the huge and thick gate of Santo Domingo. It was blown to pieces.

The boulders and sandbags piled up behind the gates were shaken by the massive explosion. Three 75-mm mountain guns and three 70-mm infantry guns also opened fire.

Shells smashed into the gates of Santo Domingo one after another, especially the 105-mm recoilless guns, which attacked very fiercely. Every bombardment shakes the ground.

After several rounds of artillery fire, the boulders and sandbags piled up in the gates of Santo Domingo were completely blown apart, and the gates of Santo Domingo were finally opened.

Song Tao stood in front of the drone console, and saw that the city gate had been destroyed, and immediately picked up the microphone and shouted: "Fujita." The Death Army Brigade began to assault, and the speed must be fast and fierce! ”

"Hi ......"

"Old Ding. It's your turn, give me the square in front of the city gate and build a wall of fire for me. Be sure to block the enemy's reinforcements at the city gates. ”

"Yessir, promise to complete the mission!"

Valdés had already run to the city to avoid the shelling, and he knew it was broken when he saw that the gates had been blown open.

He turned around and shouted: "Hurry up and block the gates, the musketeers are in front of the gates, and the rest will go up the walls with me, they are going to rush in, ...... quickly"

A group of indigenous Filipinos desperately rushed to the city gate with sandbags, hoping to block the city gate. Arquebusiers of hundreds of Spanish soldiers and pirates lined up in a phalanx with arquebuses, and they also carried several Vlachi light cannons and placed them in the city gate square.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in the air, and they all looked up to the sky, only to see two triangular things flying towards them. The Spaniards and pirates in front of the gates looked at each other and couldn't guess what it was.

Ding Weiguo piloted the delta-wing plane and shouted loudly into the headphones: "Haha...... There are a lot of people in the square. Lao Luan, I'll scorch them first, ......"

After he finished speaking, he lowered his height and swept past the city wall, so frightened that Valdes on the city wall and they all crouched down, and Valdes turned his head to see two planes drop something on each.

Valdés didn't feel good, and immediately turned around and threw himself on the wall behind him, "Boom...... Two muffled sounds rang out, and two fierce flames burst into the sky, and the scorching waves of air turned Valdes' hair upside down.......

Hundreds of arquebusiers lined up in the square in front of the city gate were swept into the raging flames. The ammunition of several Furlong machine cannons was also destroyed by the flames, and the whole square was like a hell on earth. (To be continued)
