Under the heavy artillery of the battleship, the infantry of the fortress could not maintain a constant defense, and the natives began to approach the stone walls, although the Spanish defenses were tight on the outside and loose on the inside, but the walls and fortifications were high enough in the direction of the natives.

There is no way to climb up with manpower, there are protrusions at a certain distance, and there are trenches on the ground, which is actually a simple fortress structure, and the number of defenders is extremely abundant for the fortress, ensuring that there is no area to defend the void.

But there was no way to stop the natives who were driven forward by such a rough fortress, and they also needed the firearms of the defenders to keep firing.

Sporadic heavy artillery fire made the defenders have to be vigilant about the threat behind them, and the defenses below became intermittent, and the natives finally reached the bottom.

The courage of the natives would not last long if they relied on human life to fill the trenches, but when the houses were demolished, enough wooden bridges and improvised ladders were made, and wooden bridges were laid on the trenches and ladders were used against the walls.

Some people howled excitedly, others reached out at the edge of the wall and the trench to pick up the gold and silver coins, and more people began to climb and rush up, and at this moment they all had the illusion that rushing in would not only be able to live, but even rob the property of the white people and humiliate their women, and this thought made every native's heart feel as if there was a fire burning, extremely excited.

When the natives climbed the wall with simple ladders, the situation of the Spanish defenders became much more unsightly, and the fire of firearms had the advantage of keeping a distance between the enemy and the enemy.

The Spanish infantry, armed with swords, spears, halberds, and firearms, was still overwhelmingly superior to the natives, and the trained cooperation was "far superior to the natives in terms of physical strength and will to fight, and the natives who had just climbed the stone wall were immediately slaughtered without mercy."

But the trouble lies in the heavy artillery at sea, after every cannon sound, the Spanish soldiers seem to be looking for shelter first, otherwise, the stone chips from the shells are not divided between whites and natives" Some people are blind, covering the stone wall and howling, and then being hacked to death by the natives, this is really too shocking.

The advantage was overwhelming, and the natives had the illusion that white people who relied on firearms would panic if they were chased in front of them.

In fact, on the contrary, the natives with machetes were no better than the Inca soldiers in the Americas, while the Spanish soldiers, protected by their armor and supported by sophisticated weapons and fighting courage, quickly swept away the natives who rushed up.

However, "there is a problem with such close combat, that is, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no casualties, and no matter how overwhelming the money is, there will always be accidents."

A Spanish second lieutenant first killed a native with a short musket, then slashed one with a sword, and then threw the short musket in his hand to "knock down a native who had just climbed the wall, and then the cannon at sea rang loudly, and he subconsciously turned his head to look."

At this distance, the heavy artillery shot "can see the trajectory of the shell's flight clearly, and the landing point can be roughly judged", this time the shot should not hit the stone wall.

It's just that in such a tragic battle, if people are distracted, it will be extremely dangerous, and two bamboo spears pierced through the gaps in the armor......"

The morale of the Spaniards was extremely demoralized, and the Governor, Paul Louis, was also wearing armor and holding a sword, and he was ready to go into battle at any time, at this time, all he could do was shout below: "Open the gates of the fortress, send out four companies, and drive these damned natives away." ”

Instead of entangled with the other party in the fortifications of the fortress, it is better to go out directly to the field and drive the natives away, and his arrangement is very correct.

The gates of the fortress were opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and the excited natives were about to rush over when they were met by a volley from the doorway, and then more than 400 Spanish infantry rushed out with shouts.

The combat effectiveness of the natives is not worth mentioning, in such a face-to-face fight, it will soon be unable to support, and it will be completely dispersed, especially when the artillery and fire scopes after they appear no longer shoot, and there is no longer the need to supervise the battle, and soon the Spaniards cleared a vacant land in front of the fortress, and the ground was full of indigenous flesh and blood, and the situation was temporarily controlled.

The Spaniards retreated into the fortress again, and the natives were also dispersing, but after the routing reached a certain distance, they were immediately blocked by the Han forces, and the natives who were overwhelmed by blood wanted to rush through the Han people's blockade, but they proved to their compatriots with their lives that this road would not work.

A large number of bundled firewood and grass were thrown from behind, and someone shouted loudly in the indigenous language: "Throw it under the fortress of the Spaniards, three bundles of firewood and grass can make you retreat to a safer place, if you throw it away early or make a ghost, it will be a dead end."

I can see that there are already people standing on the high place, presumably staring at the throwing firewood and grass, and now in this position, it is actually close enough to the fortress, and everything that should be seen can be seen clearly, and it is difficult to fake.

What makes the natives excited is this sentence "safer", from the chaos of the morning to now, every step is death, every position has no chance of survival, the natives do not dare to ask for any luck now, they only hope to be able to breathe, how much can they breathe.

It's the same as in the desert, where the people who are so dry don't want to live, they only think about drinking water, even if it's a drop of water, and no one at this time has ever thought about what those desperate Han people think when they raise their butcher's knives to those kind and simple Han people.

Firewood and grass were thrown to the front by the natives of the old and weak, those natives who had just returned from the battle picked up firewood and grass, and the order of the Han pirates to drive them away was very simple, a cannon rang out, and the dead people fell to the ground, and then everyone knew to continue to run towards the fortress.

The Spaniards on the fortress had little confidence in whether they could hold it and hold out until reinforcements arrived, and this was the next day's attack, and it was so tragic.

But none of them dared to relax, "the Spaniards did not dare to let the natives rush into the fortress, in the massacre a year ago, how cruel and bloody and crazy the natives were to the Han Chinese" they saw with their own eyes, although they were laughing and encouraging at the time, and even applauding, they never wanted the same thing to happen to them, most of the natives' firewood and grass were not thrown under the stone walls of the fortress, and the shooting from the top of the city was enough to stop their steps, but "every time the cannon on the sea sounded, the natives could rush closer."

Bundles of firewood and grass were piled up there, Luzon was relatively dry in this season, and the grass and trees were easy to burn, and the Spaniards were not stupid, seeing this scene, they also thought that the other party was trying to attack with fire, "But they also wondered, the current wind direction is blowing from the sea, and after igniting the grass and trees, the smoke will not drift to the castle, but will blow back" Such an action is not self-harm.

For such a stone fortress close to the sea, the fire has little effect, mainly relying on the smoke to smoke people, but if it does, it is actually equivalent to protecting the fortress, I really don't know what it does.

………………

The casualties of transporting firewood and grass were much smaller than those of the battle, "the fierce and inhumane Han Chinese forces for a day suddenly became more merciful, and after the accumulated firewood and grass were transported, the surviving people had a chance to eat and rest", and food was also collected from the homes of those who were destroyed.

After a short rest, a large number of people were escorted down to Nangang, "and the ship was about to dock.

It was getting dark, and the Han forces blocking the various intersections gradually returned to the vacant land that had been temporarily cleared, and began to eat and rest.

Although the number of natives is large, there are too many dead and injured during the day, and the natives who have lost their ability to move are directly disposed of as corpses, and at this time, it is easy to take care of.

In the current state, even if it is not attacked, but only besieged, the epidemic caused by these corpses is enough to make the fortress face a disaster.

The Han people knew, and the Spaniards knew, but after a day of fierce fighting, the Spaniards just wanted to have a good rest and a short respite, because everyone knew that there would be a battle tomorrow, and maybe tomorrow would be a matter of life and death.

There was a lot of grass piled up in front of the fortress, and now that the sun had set, the wind had become much lighter than a little bit of skylight, but it was still blowing from the sea.

Seeing these firewood and grass, the nervous and desperate Spaniards also found a little rare happiness, these Han people are really stupid, after spending so much effort, these smoke will smoke themselves, isn't it ridiculous?

There were only corpses around the fortress, and there was a fleet at sea, and Manila was much quieter after a day of fierce fighting. Both sides seem to be tired and need to rest and reorganize.

It was getting dark, it seemed to be a signal, and suddenly there was a cannon sound around the fortress, and the stone wall of the fortress was immediately panicked, and the extremely tired Spaniards were too lazy to move, but they couldn't help but move, and they already knew from the daytime battle that the enemy had artillery on the 6, but now the artillery fire needs to be determined by visual inspection, and it is really not accurate in the night.

In a hurry, the people on the stone wall did not know where to fire the cannonball, and there was no way to see the trajectory of the cannonball at night, but this time, they saw it, a cannonball with a red light streaked across the sky, and they could even see that the cannonball drew a red track, which was very strange at night.

Why the red light, this quickly got the answer, this cannonball is not aimed at the fortress, but fell in the firewood and grass piles in front of the fortress, which does not need any accuracy, it is full of firewood and grass near the fortress, and the cannonball lands, exactly falling in it.

Not long after falling on it, flames began to burn, thick smoke began to rise, and what one did not expect was that the enemy outside the fortress burned the shells red and used them to ignite firewood and grass.

Lighting firewood and grass at night, the wind is much lighter now, but the direction of the wind has not changed, the smoke still drifts inward6, and the injured are still besiegers.

The flames began to spread, the smoke rose from obscuring the view of the Spaniards on the fortress, and almost at the same time, the artillery at sea began to roar again, and the attention of the people on the fortress was drawn back to it.

.................., the water in Nangang is relatively shallow, and there are relatively gentle tidal flats, and the warships that come in circles are already close enough to the coast, and the water area where they are located is a little closer to the shore, and there is a danger of running aground.

Next to this battleship, several rafts were docked side by side, and thick ropes were connected from the shore, and on the gunboat began to lay down the parts of the gun carriage, which seemed to be heavy, and before they had fallen on the raft, the people on the raft were tied with thick ropes.

The parts fall on the raft, and the raft tends to sink into the water, and these rafts made up of trees that are light enough cannot float and simply submerge into the water.

But the raft provides some buoyancy and is connected by thick ropes, in fact the raft provides more of a plane so that the metal components will not be stuck by anything on the bottom of the sea, and the other end of the rope is attached to the bodies of the oxen, and the oxen are connected to the rope by a leather rope, which gives a signal on this side, and the other side drives the livestock and drags them to the shore.

As for the eighteen-pound cannon, it was even more troublesome, bolted directly to the gun door with a rope, and used oiled fur as a cushion cloth on the side of the gun door, and the outside was undertaken by a raft, and the raft was also tied around the blowing cowhide bag and empty coconut shell to increase buoyancy as much as possible.

After the artillery was pulled out, the hull of the ship was also damaged, and the ship's hurried repair was required, and the artillery of several thousand catties sank directly to more than two feet as soon as it fell into the water, but fortunately, there were also a large number of people in the water, and those with good water were all launched into the water hard, but fortunately, this side was a tidal flat, although it was soft, people could stand still.

There were not only dozens of cattle on the shore, but also a large number of people who seemed to be tug-of-war, working together to drag the cannons ashore little by little.

When it came to the shore, it was more troublesome than the seaside, and after combining the gun carriages, it was not hard enough to see that the land in Manila Harbor was not hard enough, and there were enough local methods for this, and the road was built step by step, and the front was leveled with wood and gravel, and then dragged forward, and further, hundreds of people were busy.

Just like this, step by step, they kept approaching the direction of the fortress...... Two..................

On the side of the fortress, I can't see far at night, and now my attention is covered by smoke while shelling at sea, and what makes the Spaniards even more confused is that the Han people actually drove the natives to attack against the smoke, isn't this asking for trouble? What was born out there, the Spaniards did not know anything.
