Chen Wei stalled after a sustained burst of fire, and the soldiers had to find obstacles to protect themselves in the face of the sudden ferocity of fire.

Taking out his binoculars and looking at the man-high stone wall in front of him, he discovered the reason why the Dutch fire suddenly became fierce.

It seems that the disadvantages of loading breech guns have been discovered, and now some Dutch soldiers are responsible for special reloading, while others are responsible for shooting, which greatly improves the efficiency of their attacks.

This method of shooting was not unfamiliar to them, as it had also been used to fight the barbarians when they were using breech guns.

"How can this group of Dutch be smart, this is trouble, the soldiers will rush forward and suffer heavy casualties."

A squad leader said to Chen Wei.

Nodding, he said: "Hurry up and get the machine gunners to come and use fire to suppress them, you attack them with grenades under the cover of fire." ”

"Yes."

In response, the squad leader immediately slumped back and ran backwards, and in a short time the machine gun team arrived at his location.

Seeing this, Chen Wei immediately asked the machine gun to strafe the Dutch soldiers behind the stone wall.

Now they are in a very passive geographical environment, because from the river in front of them to the flat beach here, the Dutch have a very wide view.

"Da Da Da ......"

The machine guns spewed flames, and the bullets flew towards the makeshift stone wall built by the Dutch, and the Dutch soldiers were overwhelmed by the ferocious fire.

At the same time, more machine-gun teams arrived, and they fired frantically in a straight line.

Seeing that the counterattack of the Dutch soldiers was weakening, Chen Wei waved and rushed towards the stone wall with his company.

At this time, the soldiers mustered up their strength and rushed quickly in an "S" shaped running position.

Behind the stone wall, Eric was miserable, his tactics only worked well for a short time, but after the machine guns appeared, they were completely down, and the constant flying bullets made it impossible for the Dutch soldiers to raise their heads at all.

And at this moment, he suddenly a group of Imperial soldiers rushed towards them, and he immediately ordered to concentrate on shooting at this group of soldiers who were trying to surround them.

But the next scene made him a little stunned, these soldiers ran in a strange way when they were advancing, and often when his soldiers were aiming and shooting, these soldiers would suddenly change positions, which greatly reduced their chances of being hit.

Eric's mood suddenly became a little mixed, he knew that there was still a lot to learn from the Chinese Empire, but unfortunately he no longer had this opportunity.

Looking at the Imperial soldiers who were getting closer and closer, he looked back at the armed merchant ships that were about to depart, and when he saw that most of the soldiers had boarded the ships, he immediately ordered to evacuate.

The 800 Dutch soldiers who were responsible for holding back the attack ran desperately to the boats, and when everyone was on board, the armed merchant ships headed for the middle of the river and sailed down the river.

It was too late for Chen Wei to chase him to the river, and the river outside Manila was very wide, three miles long, and the merchant ships that reached the center of the river were too far away from them.

Moreover, the water of this river is very fast, and the speed of merchant ships down the river is also very fast, and in just a moment, the merchant ship becomes a distant shadow.

"Tell the fleet to chase them!" Chen Wei was very unwilling, and the fat in his mouth was gone. ’

A soldier departed.

Looking at the Dutch merchant ships that had already walked far away, Chen Wei looked at Manila City behind him at this time, and now it was time to officially take over this city.

At the same time, Yue Yun had already landed on the beachhead and was looking at Manila City in front of him with Liu Chen.

In fact, Manila belonged to Spain until then, but the Dutch took the opportunity to capture Bohol during the attack on Bohol.

Because in the Philippines both the Dutch and Spain had their own colonies, and for this reason, there were constant contradictions between the two.

A piece of land not far from Manila was the territory of the Dutch, and at the same time as attacking Spain, the Dutch took the initiative to attack Manila, and after the war ended, the Dutch also occupied this place naturally, and Simon was also sent at that time.

"This should have been the territory of the Empire for a long time." Yue Yun's eyes were deep.

Liu Chen said; "Yes, the Dutch have been allowed to occupy the magpie's nest for too long, and even so, they are not greedy enough to choose to side with their western companions."

"The emperor said that the Western powers often attack each other, that is because there is no opponent in the world, and they are just dog-eat-dog fighting for the interests of the colonies, and now the empire has suddenly become a strong opponent that threatens their interests, and it will promote their union, which is not a good sign." Yue Yun and Liu Chen walked towards Manila City while analyzing the current situation.

Liu Chen proudly glanced at the group of ironclad ships behind him, and he said, "So what, with ironclad ships, the supremacy of the sea is ours, how can they unite?" ”

"You can't say that." Yue Yun pointed to the wounded soldier who was being carried on a stretcher and said: "A united Europe is not in the interests of the Empire, a dog-eat-dog Europe is in the interests of the Empire, at least in this way we can sacrifice fewer soldiers and get back a little more benefits." ”

Liu Chen nodded lightly, "That's right, compared to the war between Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, the number of soldiers who died in Nanyang has increased a lot. ”

"That's it." Yue Yun smiled, "In the end, the war is still for economic interests, the people are well fed and clothed, and no one has the intention to rebel, so that the country can prosper, and the people's lives will not be able to go on, and no matter how big the territory is, they will not be able to keep it, and maybe they will make wedding dresses for others." ”

Liu Chen heard a hint of something wrong from Yue Yun's words, and he couldn't help asking, "Is it true that the emperor is not going to continue to go west after conquering Nanyang?"

Hearing this, Yue Yun suddenly laughed, and he said; "Yes, you have become smarter, the emperor is ready to postpone the war after opening the route to the Ottoman Empire, after all, there is too much land occupied now and needs to be stabilized, and the task of the major military regions may be to help the officials sent abroad to establish a management organization, but our navy and marines can't stop, in addition to annihilating the Western fleet, they also have to undertake the task of global escort."

Liu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm relieved, it's really terrible to be idle all day." ”

As they spoke, they had entered the city of Manila, which had been in shambles after the Dutch had evacuated, and the indigenous slaves who had lived in Manila had looted everything they could, leaving behind only the streets and buildings.

Looking at all this, Liu Chen said: "It's time to slow down and send officials to rebuild these colonial cities, otherwise the places we worked so hard to fight will be completely destroyed by these natives." ”
