Chapter 264: Sweeping the Natives
When the commanders of the detachments arrived at the area where the attack was starting from, they all waited quietly, just waiting for the time for the attack. \
The Death Warriors sat cross-legged on the ground, steel helmets, bulletproof vests, and grimace masks in front of them. The katana, which glowed with a cold light, was also placed horizontally on it.
The samurai of the Death Army were also sitting in a precarious position, and the whole team was silent, staring at the front with cold eyes. Fujita stood at the front of the troops, staring into the distance with a gloomy face, constantly looking at his watch.
He Wu led the pirates to the starting position, but they kept walking back and forth, he didn't have a watch, and even if he did, he couldn't understand it. The War Department provided him with a radio station, and the staff officer who accompanied him had a watch, but he was not good at always asking questions, so he kept worrying about his liver.
The pirates have been holding their breath, during the battle of the defense of the royal city, the pirates suffered a big loss from the natives, and they have been thinking about seeking revenge from these natives, and now they have finally waited for the opportunity.
The soldiers of the two overseas brigades were very relaxed, and a group of soldiers were getting together and chatting quietly about the topic of indigenous women.
"Hammer, do you think the natives have big butts? I look like a monkey, and if I meet a body like you, I won't let you die. ”
Zhang Tiehammer glared at him and scolded angrily: "Fuck off your mother's eggs, then you look like a skinny chicken cub, if you give you a stronger Tartar girl, you won't be able to kill you as an adult overnight." ”
The soldiers next to him all laughed in a low voice, and Wang Bo scolded with a smile: "Get out of your dead hammer." Brothers, keep your eyes open for a moment. Don't get all the girls back, try your hand at it, don't come back with the whole skinny monkey-like indigenous girl, and then distribute it to the hammer, it's better to give her a knife now. ”
Everyone began to laugh again, Zhang Tiezhu slapped over, and was dodged by the dexterous Wang Bo, Zhang Tiezhu just wanted to continue to chase Wang Bo, when he heard the platoon commander Wang Haiyang shouting in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, prepare to ...... in five minutes"
Listened to the platoon commander. A group of ruffians immediately refreshed themselves. One by one, they sorted out each other's armor and checked their weapons and equipment, and when they were all done, a rapid whistle came from the darkness in the distance.
Wang Haiyang turned around and shouted, "Light all the torches." Hammer, you lead the knife hand and rush forward to clear the way. Everyone has seen the tragic scene of the Chinese brothers who died in Manila. It was these natives who were plagued. Kill them all to avenge those Chinese brothers. Kill......"
At four o'clock in the morning, the detachments began to attack at the same time. At this time, the natives were still immersed in their sleep, for the sudden attack. They were defenseless. When the group rushed into the village, they woke up in a daze.
The Far Eastern Army had already thrown torches on top of their huts, and the natives who rushed out of the houses were knocked to the ground by rows of arquebuses. The Japanese death army, the Ming army, and the pirates are all murderous gods who kill people without blinking, and they have all killed the indigenous men, women, and children.
Only the Ming soldiers and ruffians were able to leave some young indigenous women, and the others were red-eyed. The entire area around Manila was filled with an endless smell of blood, and even the dawn sky seemed to be covered with a faint reddish.
Fujita personally led the daredevils into the village, these humanoid beasts are simply killing machines, and they are often fatal with a knife when they encounter the natives, so they have the greatest results.
The second is the pirates led by He Wu, they killed fiercely because when the royal city was guarded, these pirates were besieged by the local natives, and they kept holding their breath in their hearts, so they killed people with extra ferocity.
The ruffians were much slower, mainly because they didn't have the hobby of killing people as a pleasure as the daredevils, and they didn't have the hatred of the pirates, so they were much slower to sweep, and they had to search for young natives.
They swept away the villages, killed all the natives in the villages, robbed them of their food supplies, and finally burned the villages to the ground. The killing continued until noon, and the troops were exhausted. From the city of Manila, you can see smoke rising all around. From early morning to noon, there were shouts of killing and screams everywhere.
The attacking force was followed by a large number of Chinese in Manila, who drove the carts and horses to load the natives' food, poultry and livestock back to Manila. There were also a large number of Chinese who dug large pits and buried the bodies of the natives in them. The Chinese in the city also organized people to make a hot lunch and deliver it to the front-line soldiers.
The ruffians, pirates, and Japanese daredevils were all covered in blood and their eyes were fierce as if they had come out of the Shura Field. The bodies of these people were filled with a terrifying murderous aura, coupled with the bloody aura around them, which scared those Chinese husbands and women to the point that they didn't even dare to look at them.
Li Ming's former enemy headquarters was located outside Manila, and several communications staff officers constantly reported the results of the battles from various detachments. Li Ming looked at his watch, then picked up the microphone and said, "Song Tao, how are you there?" Are there any results? ”
Song Tao said with a smile: "I've slept for a while, there are less than a thousand natives who have fled here, and the other directions are similar." It seems that these people are not inefficient. The battle was perfect, and not many of the indigenous monkeys escaped. ”
Li Ming put down the microphone and gave an order to the troops: "The troops will rest in place, and after an hour, clean up the battlefield for the last time, and then retreat back to the city." ”
Marco was sitting in the Dutch Merchant House, discussing with a group of Dutchmen what to do, and the Governor of Batavia was supposed to send an envoy after a few days of absence. Now more than a dozen Dutch merchant ships have been intercepted by the Far East Company, not to mention the confiscation of supplies, and even the captains and sailors have been imprisoned, and they are said to be put on trial.
As the head of the East India Company's merchant house in Manila, Marco was of course responsible for rescuing the company's employees. But Li Ming said last time that he was not qualified to negotiate, and it also made Marco powerless, and his status was indeed too low.
Suddenly, a person from the merchant hall ran in from outside, panting and said, "Sir, those people from the Far East Company have done it." This morning they raided all the indigenous villages within a 100-mile radius of Manila, and according to people from outside the city, the indigenous villagers who had fought were almost dead. ”
Marco and the other Dutchmen in the merchant hall heard the news, and a chill rose in their hearts. These Far Easterners were too ruthless, but fortunately they chose to cooperate rather than confront that day, they could really do anything.
The leaders of the natives outside the city had a good relationship with him, but he didn't expect to be wiped out this time. Marco sat limply in his chair, his face ashen and his eyes lifeless.
At this moment, a man from the merchant house hurriedly came over and said to Marco, "Sir, the envoy sent by the Governor has arrived in Manila Harbor. ”
Marco hurriedly stood up and went out with everyone in the merchant house. Simmons stepped off the sailboat, shook hands with Marco and the others who greeted him, and then returned to the Dutch Merchant House.
Simmons got straight to the point after greeting everyone, he said solemnly with a gloomy face: "This time I came to Manila on behalf of the Governor to negotiate with the Far East Company on behalf of the company. Before I meet with them, Marko, I want to hear from you. ”
Marco shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Sir, these Tatars are a group of uneducated barbarians, who slaughtered the royal city of Manila last year with extremely cruel methods. Just yesterday, they slaughtered the indigenous people within a 100-mile radius of Manila.
Our company's fleet, which is still seized by them, and the company's employees are in their hands, and it is said that they will be tried in a few days, and if convicted, they will behead our company's employees in a barbarian way. ”
Simmons' face became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "Hmph...... If they dare to kill the employees of our East India Company, then they will be prepared to bear the wrath of our company, and what awaits them will be our fierce retaliation. Marko, immediately help me contact the head of the Far East company, I will talk to them immediately. ”
Simmons and Marco arrived at Intramuros Manila with a few entourages, and were briefed on being taken into the former Spanish Governor's Palace, which is now home to the Manila City Government.
Li Ming also took Song Tao, Xiao Hanguang and others to personally come out to greet Simmons and his party. After a polite exchange, the two sides arrived at the assembly room of the Governor's Palace. As soon as Simmons sat down, he went straight to the point and asked Li Ming for the Dutch East India Company.
"Your Excellency, on behalf of the Dutch East India Company, I would like to congratulate you on your victory over the expeditionary force of the Kingdom of Spain once again, which will be of great impetus for our further cooperation in the future.
I was entrusted by the Governor of the East Indies of the Company to negotiate with His Excellency the General. The company has always attached great importance to the contract signed by both of us. As the Governor's Special Envoy, I reiterate once again our sincerity in our cooperation with both sides.
The normal business dealings between individual employees of our company and the Spanish military were not known to the company in advance, and were only spontaneous acts of individual employees. On behalf of the company, I would like to extend my most sincere apologies to you for the troubles caused to your company by the behavior of individual employees of the company.
I hope that His Excellency the General can release the employees of our company, return the seized ships and materials, and we will make reasonable compensation to your company, and the company will further cooperate with your company in the next step to strive to establish a deeper strategic cooperative relationship. ”
Li Ming listened to Simmons' words, and his face became gloomy. Song Tao was angry at that time, these foreign devils took themselves too seriously.
He sneered: "Your company is too light, dozens of boats of ammunition, war horses and food supplies, you said that it was the spontaneous behavior of your individual employees, do you think we will believe it?" ”
Simmons listened to the entourage's translation, the big radish face was neither red nor white, and nodded very seriously and said: "Yes, the company really didn't know before, it was just the spontaneous behavior of individual employees, and we apologize for this." (To be continued......)
