Chapter 163: Bloody Storm

Twenty sniperers of the Admiralty also took up vantage points on the walls around the royal city, and everywhere they stopped the Spaniards, especially the Spanish officers. The whole royal city was only a square kilometer in size, and they lay on the city walls, condescendingly looking for targets with night vision devices, and countless Spanish officers died under their guns.

Fujita roared into the royal city of Manila with the samurai of the Death Army, and as soon as he reached a street corner, he saw a group of Spanish soldiers rushing in front of him, full of fifty or sixty people.

Fujita took out a steel ball grenade and shouted, "Prepare the grenade...... Cast ......"

"Boom...... Boom ......"

After a few explosions, more than a dozen Spanish soldiers on the opposite side had fallen. Fujita and the others crouched down after throwing the grenades, and the pirates behind them fired their arquebuses.

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

After three volleys, most of the Spaniards on the opposite side had already fallen, and the rest simply turned around and wanted to flee. Fujita roared and rushed out, and the rest of the daredevils frantically harvested the lives of the Spaniards.

The whole royal city was completely in chaos, and the Spanish army had been quietly wiped out by the various groups of the Admiralty, and the remaining army could not organize a form of resistance because of the death of a large number of officers.

Several Spanish officers saw that the governor's palace, arsenal, and forts of the royal city were occupied by pirates. Knowing that the tide was turning, they gathered a few hundred remnants of their army and withdrew to the castle of Santiago, northwest of the royal city, hoping to resist with the strong fortifications there.

Located in the northwest of the Intramuros, the Allegio de Santiago was one of the fortifications of the Intraologus, which was the main defensive position of the Spaniards. There was a moat outside the city walls, and the walls up to 10 meters thick were built with towers and turrets.

Two teams from the Admiralty had touched it, but because the castle of San Diego was heavily defended, there was nowhere to start. In the end, after discussing with Zhou Cheng, these two groups felt that this was not the most important location in the royal city, so these two groups simply went to support the city gate.

After the Spanish army in the royal city was scattered, the daredevils and pirates also showed their fierce fangs. began to break into the door door from house to house, and they killed people when they saw them, and the entire royal city of Manila suddenly set off a bloody storm, and the sky above the entire royal city was filled with a faint layer of blood.

Many Spaniards in the royal city took up arquebuses and desperately resisted the killing of the daredevils and pirates, even the organized civilians could not resist the wolf-like daredevils and pirates.

The officers and men of the Admiralty were stationed at the governor's palace, arsenals, warehouses, and key points in the city, allowing the daredevils and pirates in the city to ravage the Spaniards in the royal city with impunity.

Zhou Cheng sat in the governor's palace, listening to the shouts and screams outside, and his heart was restless. In particular, many of the voices came from women and children, which made him even more restless. This is the reaction of a normal person, and it is not pleasant for anyone to hear this kind of sound.

But as soon as he thought of the several massacres of Chinese here in history, his heart was firm. He secretly scolded himself for his servility, why the Chinese are always bullied all over the world, slaughtered again and again by those foreign races, and in the end, they are all gone. Why......

Just when he was in an irritable mood, a hurried shout came from his earphones: "Zhou Cheng, the Santiago Castle in the north of the royal city is erecting heavy artillery against the royal city, and once they finish erecting it, they will bombard the royal city." ”

Zhou Cheng was furious when he heard it, and the pity just now was swept away. He hurriedly gave an explanation, and then led several officers and men of the Admiralty out of the Governor's Palace. Zhou Cheng walked on the streets of Wangcheng, the air was filled with a bloody smell, the streets were full of corpses, and a gunshot could be heard from time to time in the houses on both sides of the street.

Suddenly, a person rushed out of the next room, Zhou Cheng took out a pistol, but when he saw a Spaniard covered in blood rushing to them and looking at them in despair, Zhou Cheng put away the pistol, not to pity him, but several pirates rushed out of the house as if they had gone crazy, and cut off the head of the Spaniard with a knife, blood sprayed out, the head fell to the ground, and rolled to the feet of Zhou Cheng Zhou Cheng, and the desperate eyes did not close until death.

Seeing Zhou Cheng and them, several pirates nodded and said hello, and then frantically entered the next house. Wang Han behind Zhou Cheng couldn't help but say: "Zhou Cheng, it's almost enough, you've killed enough." ”

Zhou Cheng turned around violently, glared at Wang Han with murderous eyes, and said word by word: "At the beginning in Manila, Nanjing, Yangzhou, Jiading, and Hailanpao, why didn't anyone say the same." Do you know what I hate most about myself right now? I hate myself...... I hate that I can't do it myself, and I pity them. I'm annoyed right now, don't mess with me. If you say this bullshit again, fuck me off......"

Zhou Cheng turned around and left angrily, and several other officers and soldiers of the Admiralty also glanced at Wang Han coldly, and then followed. Wang Han was left alone and stood there in distress for a long time.

Zhou Cheng and the others went all the way up the city wall, came to the opposite side of the castle of Santiago, and observed it for a while with night vision binoculars. Ordinary pirates who want to attack the royal city are to rush into Manila Bay by boat, and then go deep into Manila along the Pasig River, landing on the south bank of the Pasig River.

However, the Far Eastern Admiralty entered the royal city directly from the gate of the royal city, so the castle of Santiago, which was in a difficult terrain, suddenly lost its effect. But once the Admiralty takes full control of the royal city, it will become a threat.

Zhou Cheng began to contact Qiao Haipeng through the headset and reported to him the situation at the San Diego Castle. Qiao Haipeng listened to Zhou Cheng's report and also paid attention to it.

Qiao Haipeng turned around and shouted to the Admiralty staff officer behind him: "Get the mortar team, let them find a suitable place to set up an artillery firing position, and then send the forward observation team to the wall of the royal city to indicate the target for them." Blow him up with that holy castle or something. ”

The mortar team moved quickly, and in a short time found a suitable firing site nearby, set up two 120-mm mortars, and the artillery observation team at the head of the city also sent back the firing yuan.

A dull cannon bang sounded.

A test projectile exploded along the Pasig River, not far south of the Citadel de Santiago. Immediately after that, two 120-mm mortars began to fire in a frenzied round.

The hundreds of remnants of the Spanish soldiers in the castle of Santiago originally wanted to add heavy artillery to fire a few shots at the royal city, but before their artillery could be mounted, the opponent's cannonballs fell down.

A group of Spaniards were desperately moving a 24-pounder cannon, it turned out that the heavy guns on the fort of their castle were all aimed at the Pasig River, and no one expected that the pirates would enter the royal city through the gates of the royal city today. Thousands of pounds of artillery could be moved so easily, and it took them a lot of effort to move a heavy gun.

Just as they were cheering, there was a "boom", and a 120-mm mortar shell fell next to them, and more than a dozen Spanish soldiers were immediately torn to pieces by the violent explosion, and the rest were also thrown high, their bodies were dismembered into several pieces in the air, and their flesh and blood fell into the distance.

Thousands of pounds of heavy artillery were also thrown out of the way, along with heavy gun mounts. A bunch of Spaniards were stunned at once, and this explosion was beyond their imagination for them. Many Spanish soldiers forgot to dodge and let the shells fall again, tearing them to pieces.

Zhou Cheng held the night vision binoculars and watched the 120mm mortar shells fall in the castle of San Diego, after every violent explosion, great results can be achieved in this fart castle.

The castle of Santiago, which was impregnable in the eyes of people of this era, was bombarded by 120-mm mortars, and the fortifications of the city walls were like paper paste, and they were blown up in an instant, and they collapsed everywhere and became a mess.

Zhou Cheng saw that it was almost over, so he shouted into the earphones: "Commander, the bombing effect is very good, you can stop the shelling." We can try to attack once, and I guess the Spaniards in the castle are already scared stupid. ”

After he finished speaking, he shouted behind him: "Groups 1 to 4 are ready, and when the artillery fire stops, we will attack immediately." ”

When the shelling ended, Zhou Cheng led four groups of Admiralty soldiers to carefully touch it. They stepped on the crumbling city walls, and with the help of the terrain, they slowly stepped into the castle of Santiago.

It's really like Zhou Cheng said, the castle is full of the corpses of Spanish soldiers, and some soldiers who have been shocked stupidly, and they didn't even react at all when Zhou Cheng and them came in.

Zhou Cheng took out a bayonet and mounted it on the AK-74, then turned around and shouted: "Put on the bayonet, leave no prisoners...... After speaking, he walked up and stabbed to death a Spanish man who looked like an officer.

With the fall of the Citadel of San Diego, the Admiralty of the Far Eastern Company completely captured Manila. But the slaughter in the city was not over, and the officers and men of the Admiralty sat on the city walls, silently smoking cigarettes, listening to the terrible howls in the city.

The sky gradually brightened, and the Japanese death soldiers and pirates also stopped the carnival of killing, and it is estimated that there is no one to kill. Zhou Cheng sucked hard, and then stood up from the city wall.

He stood on the city wall and looked at the blood-colored royal city of Manila, and threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the royal city. It was a helling night, but he just listened, listening to the heart-rending howls.

In Manila, in Nanjing, in Yangzhou, in Jiading, in Hailanpao. Isn't there less of such a voice? Why can they listen to it, why do they do it?

"Zhou Cheng, how is it in the city? If it's over, let the pirates mobilize some people outside the city to help clean up the royal city, and Lao Lu and I will still want to have breakfast at the governor's palace. ”

Listening to Qiao Haipeng's words, Zhou Cheng smiled and said, "It should be over." Go into the city, and if you want to have breakfast at the Doge's Palace, there will be no problem at all, as long as you can eat. ”R1152
