Yang Heng was very despised of a thief leader like Zhang Xianzhong. He was cruel and cruel, despaired, committed all kinds of evil, committed the most serious crimes, and never redeem a hundred deaths. Any vicious words that can be found will definitely be added to Zhang Xianzhong.

However, you can't help but admire Zhang Xianzhong is still very terrifying. One is that he is thick-skinned. In the Ming Dynasty, he surrendered if he can't win. When he arrived in Luzon, he humbled the Spaniards and gave him big gifts. Perhaps only a person like Zhang Xianzhong could do so without psychological barriers. But his heart was so dark. In the Ming Dynasty, he killed people like numb, and surrendered them again. Now he pleased the Spaniards, and then he would naturally become more and more powerful when he destroyed the Spaniards. In other words, Zhang Xianzhong was able to judge the situation, so he could always kill people without being killed.

Judging from Zhang Xianzhong's attitude towards money, he is definitely a big deal when it comes to spending money, and he is definitely superior in using money. When you evaluate Zhang Xianzhong, you can even use such words - wealth and honor cannot be lustful, and mighty cannot be surrendered. Well, money cannot be bought, and force cannot make him truly surrender. Isn't it! At least, from Zhang Xianzhong's mind, everything is just his tool or object of service, and Zhang Xianzhong will never become a tool or object of service for anyone, and it is even more impossible to become a slave to money.

This is the so-called hero! It can be said that.

Of course, the Japanese attack plan was not just to capture Zhang Xianzhong's landing field. The entire attack plan was one after another. After winning the battle of the landing field, the Japanese army left two thousand defenders to guard the landing field to block the landing, and then landed behind the encirclement of Zhang Dingguo with 5,000 troops, and attacked Zhang Dingguo's siege team on a large scale.

Although Zhang Dingguo was prepared under the guidance of the Korean ruling side, even the Korean ruling side was not sure whether the two-sided trench tactics could block the two-sided trench tactics. In theory, the two-sided trench tactics could attack or defend, but this was just theoretical. The Korean ruling side was just a paper talker. Whether it could withstand the Japanese army could not be mastered by a person with zero combat experience.

The Japanese attack began with continuous artillery fire. Dozens of cannons aimed at Zhang Dingguo's rear position, rumbling, rumbling, and rumbling artillery fire hit the positions one after another. Although most of Zhang Dingguo's soldiers were squatting in the tunnel, the Japanese artillery shells were too fierce. Perhaps some soldiers were glad that they had just avoided the explosion of a shell. Immediately, the next artillery shells would injure and kill these soldiers, or even blow them into pieces.

Only the continuous and deafening explosions could be heard on the position, and broken arms and limbs were flying in the air from time to time, and the tunnels and traffic trenches collapsed in artillery fire. Faced with this terrifying artillery attack that had never been seen, the defenders were completely fearful and at a loss. The entire defenders were completely confused. Both soldiers and generals were blinded by the Japanese artillery fire. The Japanese artillery fire bombarded for half an hour, and Zhang Dingguo finally understood what saturated artillery bombardment was.

After the shelling, Zhang Dingguo's defenders were still stunned, and the Japanese army had already rushed up. Some soldiers who were stunned by the bombing climbed into the trenches and ran backwards. Before they could run two steps, they fell under the Japanese bullets.

Wang Xi was responsible for guarding the line of defense behind him. When he saw this situation, he was very anxious and shouted:

"Don't run, hold it!"

However, a considerable number of soldiers were already extremely frightened and still fled backwards in panic. If this continues, the first line of defense will collapse before it is attacked. Wang Xi was furious and still couldn't stop the deserter. Fuck, there is really no way out, Wang Xi could only scream:

"Okay, you are afraid of death, so run away. Run over there. There is still a little Japanese there. The cannons on the little Japanese castle are even more powerful. You bastards who are afraid of death will kill you."

When Wang Xi shouted, some guys below who were not completely confused suddenly woke up. Both sides of his mother were Japanese, and they were just running away! So after these guys who were quite clear told the deserters that they were seeking death with their mouths and actions, everyone finally realized that there was no way out in this battle, and it was just a fight with all their backs.

Since there is no way out, you can only work hard.

Some trenches were even broken by the Japanese army, but the "poverty bandits" who had no way of retreat fought to their lives, using their life-threatening style, using grenades, fighting with swords and hand-to-hand combat with bricks - without bricks and stones, biting with teeth, they were filled with their lives, and finally drove the Japanese out of the trenches. Finally, the first line of defense was not lost under the first round of attacks by the Japanese army.

Wang Xi finally understood the power of digging trenches on both sides. Damn, this is simply a way out of retreat. The "putting it to death and living" must be what it means to be like in this situation. It's so amazing. After everyone realized that there was no way out, no one ran back.

The Japanese attack continued, and the Japanese gunman's shooting skills were a bit weird. He could hit the defenders' soldiers who were stretching out their heads from a distance. A small and medium-sized Japanese steel cannon barrel whizzed straight into the position, causing constant casualties to the defenders. As he fought, there were only a few people left in a trench, so he had to fill in the reserve team.

However, the Japanese attacks were set in succession, and there was no way. The trench dug by Zhang Xianzhong was wide and deep, reaching ten feet wide and eight feet deep. The defenders were equipped with many crossbows. The crossbow arrows were condescending, and they could easily shoot and kill attackers who wanted to climb over the trench with ladders. What's more, the defenders also had rifles. As for grenades, there were even more.

On several occasions, the Japanese army had occupied several sections of trenches, but in a short while, a group of lifeless bandits of Zhang Xianzhong rushed up and took back the position.

Although the defenders have the advantage of terrain, the Japanese army is well-trained and well-equipped, and the casualty rate is less than half of the defenders.

The Japanese army attacked for one morning without capturing the defense line behind, and launched two attacks without hesitation in the afternoon. In the afternoon, the defenders of Santiago began to attack.

The attacks on both sides of the Japanese army were like tides, one wave did not retreat, and the other waves rose again, making the defenders stand on the left and right awkward.

However, the 14,000 defenders in Zhang Dingguo's hands were all brave and brave, all of them were elite soldiers under Zhang Xianzhong. They also had some combat power when they started to act fiercely. Now they are trapped in the two trenches in front and back, and they have no choice but to escape and retreat. The Pasi River at both ends of the trenches are, so you can't go to the river.

The defense on the Pasi River was even tighter. The artillery on the Japanese ship could be fired onto the position, and the position was in danger for the moment. Zhang Dingguo put the rocket artillery on the rocket launcher and blew the Japanese ships on the river. The position would not sink anyway, and the ships would be different, and they would be sunk by the bombardment. The Japanese ships could not withstand it now, so they had to retreat further and use the range advantage of the large-caliber artillery to continue bombarding the defending positions. But no matter what, the bounce point was far less accurate, and the pressure on the defending troops was much smaller.

In one day, the defenders died and injured more than 3,000 people. Of course, the Japanese army also suffered more than 1,000 casualties. The comparison of the forces between the two sides became 10,000 and hundreds of defenders, and nearly 8,000 Japanese troops. However, the defenders' defense experience became more and more sufficient, but the ammunition was less and less. Although the Japanese army was less and less and less, as the ammunition was consumed, the battle situation would tilt towards the Japanese army.

The next day, Yang Heng's three thousand reinforcements arrived and started fighting behind the Japanese army. In this way, the Japanese army attacking the defense line behind Zhang Dingguo was also in a state of being attacked from both sides.

The entire battlefield was made into sandwich biscuits, and the innermost was Santiago Castle. The outside of the castle was Zhang Dingguo's team. On the outside of the castle were the Japanese army, and on the outside of the Japanese army were Yang Heng's team. One layer was arranged and the fight was inextricable.

Because the Japanese army's firepower was too strong, Yang Heng's attack could only restrain the Japanese army. It was completely impossible to capture the Japanese army's positions. Even if the remaining 3,000 troops were transferred, they could not attack the Japanese army. They had to leave some reserves in their hands. It must be said that Yang Heng's restraint played a role, especially the Yingzi Bing and the new army brothers. These 500 people and a miscellaneous army made the Japanese army uneasy, so naturally they would never be able to attack Zhang Dingguo with all their might.

In the next few days, although Zhang Dingguo's defensive circle had several crises, and two more crumbling, he finally stood up. Of course, due to the excessive ammunition consumption, the defenders increasingly used cold weapons to fight, which increased the casualty rate to an outrageous level. Zhang Dingguo's defenders had only more than 5,000 people left. Of course, the Japanese as the attacking side were not much better. The Japanese army in the castle and outside the castle removed casualties, which totaled only about 6,500 people. At this time, the Japanese army sent a reserve team of 1,000 people. In contrast, Yang Heng had to throw 3,000 reserve teams into the battlefield without reservation.

Manila became a fierce battle. In a sense, this was exactly what the Spaniards were very happy to see. It would be best that both sides would continue to fight to the death. When there were hundreds of people left on both sides, the Great Spanish army would rush forward and sweep over Manila. From this point of view, the Spanish made the decision to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, at least, so far!

However, Zhang Xianzhong had more reason to be proud of his successful bribery of the Spanish, because Zhang Kewang's brigade of reinforcements was about to arrive, and once the reinforcements arrived, they could drive away wolves and tigers. All Spanish and Japanese would get out of here.

Zhang Kewang's 30,000 troops had already arrived at Nanyu Township Island. At the same time, Shi Lang also rushed to Nanyu Township Island because he was coming to receive the two hundred rented ships. There were 20 barbed wire cement wheels and 20 serial ships. These forty ships were all clutches modified with lever crankshaft connecting rod propeller system. Shi Lang was so happy to see these forty clutches.

After Chen Jiangkui handed over 200 large and small ships, along with people and ships to Shi Lang, Shi Lang was very satisfied with this former colleague of pirates. Chen Jiangkui looked at Shi Lang's rare and cheerful look and said slowly:

"Mr. Shi Lang, I have two special warships here, and I can lend them to you this time. However, these two special warships are limited to iron ships against the Japanese. This is one, and the second is that this ship can attack the Japanese iron ships by your orders. However, this special warship is the emperor's secret warship. Please do not get on the ship to watch the secrets on the ship. In short, these two special warships are only lent to you iron ships against the Japanese, and obeying your orders, they are only iron ships against the Japanese. Lord. Shi Lang, I wonder if you can agree to me?"

What warship is so mysterious, can it really deal with the Japanese iron ship? Shi Lang thought about it, as long as he could deal with the iron ship, the help to himself was extraordinary, and he said happily:

"I promise you."

"A gentleman speaks a quick horse and a whip."

Shi Lang's curiosity is too strong after all. What kind of fucking treasure boat is this? I couldn't help asking:

"What kind of magic ship is this? How about it, tell me."

Chen Jiangkui finally brought the curious baby Shi Lang to a port, where Shi Lang saw two strange ships. Is this also called a ship? It is about four meters long and round, with small ends and large in the middle, and a protruding platform in the middle, and there is no deck at all. Can this thing be called a ship? Why does it attack?

Chen Jiangkui answered Shi Lang's full questions in a timely manner:

"Master Shi Lang, this ship is called a submarine, which can be submerged and sailed underwater. The biggest benefit of this submarine is to secretly approach the enemy's warships and carry out sneak attacks. This submarine is really amazing! This time the emperor is willing to lend the submarine to Master Shi Lang, which is really rare."
