When the Spaniards were frantically attacking the city, the Spaniards were looking forward to the darkness, and it was impossible to support the night battle with the enemy's strength, but they did not expect that after dark, the flames were ignited, the smoke rose, and the siege continued.

This time it was not so aimless, but aimed at one point, in the place where the fortress faced the inner 6 to the left, there was a dead angle between the bell tower and the stone wall fort, and the natives began to attack against this dead end, and the determination to attack was particularly great, and they basically did not care about the dead and wounded.

After all, the determined attack of the natives was still an indigenous attack, and the Spaniards were very effective in defending the fortress, and this time it was even better than in the daylight, and the natives basically did not set foot on the stone wall.

The heavy artillery at sea was becoming more and more sparse, and the natives had stopped when they began to attack, which made the defense easier, but the Spaniards were waiting for the dawn.

In any case, the enemies also need to rest, there must be a chance to breathe, and the firewood and grass are ignited, although the wind direction is favorable to the people of the fortress, but in the state of weak wind, the people in the fortress are also affected very badly, their eyes are red, and their throats seem to be burning, and there are some reasons for the battle and smoke.

At the beginning of day, the assault stopped, and the firewood and grass piled up around the fortress had been burned two hours before dark, and the intensity of the battle had diminished much by that time.

The Spanish governor in Luzon, Paul Luis, announced a general mobilization order inside the fortress, saying that every Spanish man and woman must fight for their freedom and life.

This order was mainly aimed at several shipowners and wealthy local merchants in the castle, who had their own escorts and did not go to battle, and Louis was also polite to them, but now when they were faced with life and death, they could not care about anything.

When this order was announced, no one questioned it at all, most of them fell asleep, and the battle for a day and a night was indeed emaciated.

"Lord Governor, the enemy is picking up the corpses."

Hearing the report of the soldiers, Paul Louis hurriedly led the people outside, the water source of the fortress is a dark river, although there is no need to worry about being blocked, but afraid that the other party will use some insidious tricks.

"Thank God, these barbarians also know about burning corpses."

When Louis had finished speaking, he turned to his cronies and ordered him to store fresh water in the castle at once, but he was afraid that the enemy would pollute the river with corpses, so that the fortress would face a terrible sign if it could be defended.

And there is a problem with the dark river, once the tide rises, it is easy to be flooded by the seawater, and it is also a trouble at that time, and yesterday's battle makes people have no time to think about it so much.

"Today's battle won't be so fierce"

"Why do you think so, Your Excellency?"

A civil servant approached and asked, and Louis looked at the busy natives in the residential area and explained with a wry smile: "The natives have died enough, and those Han people are reluctant to attack the city with their own lives." ”

"After you came to Luzon, did the fish in the river be very cheap, and after the natives came up, they sold it to you for a few dollars!?"

The newly relocated Han people were all gathered together in the middle of Bai Wuju, standing on a high place and asking loudly, when these words were spoken, the Han people below nodded one after another.

"Those natives say that the mountains are theirs, and you are not allowed to go in to hunt, that the woods are theirs, and that you are not allowed to cut them, are they?"

Bai Wu had already lived here, and the question was naturally the truth, the faces of the Han people below were tired and fearful, and they nodded impatiently, yesterday, these Han people who had newly moved to Luzon were more or less stained with blood on their hands, or they were burdened with heavy labor, they were very uncomfortable, and they felt very reluctant, they felt that they were good citizens who were coerced by the pirates, and even complained in their hearts.

"The fish in the river are very fat, do you know why? Because the fish in the river grew up eating our folks, the carcasses were thrown into the river in the slaughter the year before last, why don't the native monkeys who like to take advantage of them take advantage of this river, it is because in this river, in the belly of this fish, there is the flesh and blood of our folks, they don't dare, they are afraid! ”

What Bai Wu said was indeed the truth, the Han people who had newly moved here, more than one person sighed, saying that the water and soil in Luzon were so good, and even the fish in the river were so fat, when they heard this, they understood in an instant, and they may not have no doubts in their hearts, but no one explained.

Thinking that the fish was eating human flesh, and he ate the fish again, someone vomited in an instant, and the rest of the people were all pale.

"You want to be a good citizen, you want to keep to yourself, but the ghosts and natives don't let you do this, they are raising pigs, and when you get fat, you will also be thrown into the river to feed the fish, your hard land, the houses you have built, the gold and silver you have accumulated, will be taken by these beasts, are you willing?"

It was quiet below, Bai Wu ran before and after yesterday, and it was very hard, but at this time he had a kind of excitement, he stretched out his hand and beat his chest, and roared with tears in his eyes: "Don't think I'm scaring you, I live in this Mopanzhuang in southwest Manila, my father, my two sisters, my mother-in-law, a son and a daughter, and the two helpers of our family all died at the hands of these beasts, miserable, miserable, the ghosts and natives never treated us as human beings, they thought we were pigs and sheep, and they couldn't see us leaving our ancestral place, Seeing that we are working hard in the face of the epidemic, these beasts will think that we are full and have a little money to spare, that is, to rob them, and they will kill them and snatch them back! ”

Bai Wu said on the wooden platform beating his chest and feet, tears exchanged, hoarse, everyone below walked around, others said, they may still think it was coaxing, Bai Wu said in the end has used his own native dialect, this is where most Han people in Luzon come, what he said about Luzon, after all, is the actual experience, you will know the truth when you hear it.

"My two brothers, it was said that those natives were killing and looting with machetes, and the two of them survived by hiding in the cellar, but they are already crazy......"

Speaking of which, Bai Wu couldn't go on, crying there, the Han people in the audience looked reluctant, but now they gradually changed, looking at those natives in their eyes, there was less pity but more fear and hatred, Bai Wu stopped crying, and shouted in a dumb voice: "The army can't stay here for a long time, they have to leave sooner or later, do we still have to bully the natives, and we have to be afraid of the oppression of the ghosts, although we have few people, but we are ten times better than the ghosts, we are across the ocean, Why do we have to give these things to them, we have to hold on to them, we have to hold more things, such a fat field, such a good climate, why let these delicious and lazy monkeys take away! ”

"Burn them to the ground!"

I don't know who roared below, the sad atmosphere in the field was disturbed like this, it was gone all of a sudden, everyone laughed, Wang Tong has been standing behind and watching, hearing this sentence, his brows furrowed suddenly, Han Tie was on an errand by his side for a period of time, plus his brother and sister's training, his mind was very clear, seeing this scene, he leaned over and whispered: "Grandpa, my subordinates are going to arrest people"

Wang Tong was just about to nod but heard Bai Wuzhi get up and say loudly: "This brother is right, we not only want to take their ashes to fertilize the field, but also let them make cattle and horses for us, and catch their wives for fun, why can those ghosts be masters, we can't do it, let's hold a group, with equipment, what are those monkey-like natives!" ”

Below, everyone's face was a little fanatical, Bai Wu's tears were not dry, but he waved his hand there and shouted: "Rob their goods, catch their men to farm for us, women for us to make small, yesterday, everyone scraped off a lot of the natives."

Wang Tong stretched out his hand to stop Han Tie who was about to move, and said in a low voice with a smile: "This white five still has a few talents."

……………………

There was no shortage of firewood and grass, and after collecting all the corpses that could be collected, the firewood and grass began to burn, and thick smoke rose into the sky.

Seeing this smoke, the hearts of the Spaniards in the fortress sank even more, such smoke is also easy to appear on the sea, if it is seen by passing ships, they will come to save people, Manila Port is also an important end point on the waterway, the other party is so unscrupulous, obviously this is also a great certainty.

The sun had risen, and the Spaniards on the fortress were napping in a daze, day and night without stopping, it was so exhausting that they could sleep for a while, or more or less for a while.

"The natives are attacking again!"

Everyone cursed, but they could only start preparing with their weapons.

Last night, Wang Tong took turns to rest, and he took turns to drive the natives to attack the city, and the natives were tired and didn't need to be ignored, as long as their own soldiers could get a good rest.

"The warship that went to Nangang has already returned to the fleet, and we don't know what happened over there last night."

"Maybe it's the ............ reinforcements that have been brought in, this time it's still the "dead end" in this area, whether it's artillery or the defenders, there is a feeling that they can't use their hands and feet, but fortunately, after a night, they also found a way to deal with it, and assumed artillery on the stone wall protrusion dozens of meters away from the dead corner.

When the natives attacked, in addition to the frontal firepower, there were also flank strikes, which was more effective, and often the natives would be crushed and scattered halfway through.

"Damn monkeys, come on"

The Spanish officer stationed in this area cursed in a low voice, and his soldiers were ready to shoot, but suddenly, they heard several low muffled sounds outside the stone wall, and then the whistling sound sounded in the air, and the enemy also placed artillery in the direction of the inner 6.

The natives did not react to such a sound in time, but the white people in the fortress knew that it was powerful, and when they heard this, they all dodged in panic, and a few shells fell on the stone wall and the courtyard of the fortress, and the sound of screaming could be heard, and some people fell backwards and did not dodge.

"It's a three-pounder cannon, northwest of the bell tower, on the edge of the tree."

Soon, someone judged the approximate position of the artillery, and the artillery men of the 6 square white inside hurriedly adjusted the direction, preparing to return fire.

The natives once rushed to the stone wall, built a trench with a simple wooden fence, and then set up a ladder to climb, and the Spaniard's will to fight was still maintained, and the natives were just scratched off their heads by the sword of a captain, and then even the ladder was directly overturned.

After the artillery firing back, the artillery firing at the dead end also stopped, and the natives after a day and a night of fighting, hunger, exhaustion, and fear gradually rising up, made them no longer crazy, and in the face of the well-armed Spaniards, who had the will to fight, they were basically in a situation of collapse at the touch of a button.

It is a compliment to describe it as a one-touch collapse, and thanks to those fierce and vicious Han Chinese armed forces seem to be sparing their lives, driving them to within the range of the fortress's artillery, and then ignore it, during this period there is still some distance, run slower if you can, run slower if you can, dodge some if you can, no one is willing to fight hard.

"What's that!!"

The lookout sentry on the bell tower showed the abnormality directly opposite the fortress, the Han people seemed to be about to launch a general attack, nearly a thousand natives were driven in front by the Han armed forces with more people than them, and actually maintained a dense formation, and the back was dragged by dozens of oxen, seeing this, the sentry actually rubbed his eyes, it seemed to be a big grass house, and there were people who kept paving the road in front of the big grass house, and it could be seen that this big grass house was very heavy, was it using witchcraft, or some siege equipment.

Although there are such and such magical legends, but everyone knows that those so-called siege equipment are of little use to such a stone fortress, not to mention, the frontal artillery fire is the most intensive, there are four cannons, three are six-pounder guns, and they can be completely suppressed.

The natives howled and charged again, many battles in a day and a night, the maximum range of artillery on the fortress, everyone is very clear, the Han armed forces still stopped when they came to the edge of the range, seeing this behavior of the Han people, the Spaniards in the fortress were a little relieved, as long as they did not dare to attack desperately, they could support it.

In the face of the influx of natives, the Spaniards are more impatient, flies fly around you, although there is no harm, but you always have to drive down, facing the direction of the natives, the artillery began to retreat, and the infantry with muskets stepped forward, ready to shoot and fight.

Suddenly, the entire fortress, and even the natives outside the fortress, could hear the sentry on the bell tower exclaim in a pitch-shifting voice: "Cannon, there's a cannon over there!!" ”
