The defenders collapse (please read it! Please vote for recommendation!)

Although the convex surface of the bastion was collapsed by explosive shells, Manila's thick city walls were still not penetrated.

Seeing that the opportunity had come, Zheng Kezang ordered: "Uncle Wu Ping, let the soldiers from Wuwei Town on the left and right use sandbags to fill up Manila's moat. Pan Aqiang, the first battalion is ready to blast."

This is Zheng Kezang's trump card, a super explosive package made of sweet gunpowder. The blasting mission is personally carried out by the bravest First Battalion of the First Town of the Guards.

Not long after Pan Aqiang received the order, Qian Yan, the squad leader who had been promoted quickly, immediately stood up and asked for his orders: "I'll go!"

A Qiang looked at Qian Yan with appreciative eyes and said: "This thing is something that even my relatives don't recognize. Do you really want to take the risk?"

Qian Yan, who was eager to perform meritorious service, solemnly said: "As a Guards soldier, I am not afraid of life or death!"

The war was urgent, Aqiang did not dare to delay, and said happily: "Okay! It's up to you, you will be the temporary captain of the commando team, go and make arrangements!"

"yes!"

Qian Yan excitedly gave a military salute and led his troops to get explosives.

Although there were many defenders in Manila at this time, the only ones with real combat effectiveness were more than 4,000 Spanish soldiers.

Qian Yan ordered the stacking of gunpowder packets under the city wall in an orderly manner and entangled all the leads together.

At this time, more than two hundred Spanish soldiers gathered around Major Velosa and headed towards the Governor's Palace, hoping to escape with Governor Juan de Vargas Hurtado.

The Guards also quickly expanded their ranks in the city of Manila, chasing the Spanish soldiers while gradually occupying the city of Manila.

Although the city wall of Manila is filled with gunpowder smoke, you can still clearly see that a large gap more than ten meters wide has been opened by the commando team.

Because no one expected that the impregnable city of Manila would be breached by Zheng Kezang in less than a day.

Unfortunately, the indigenous troops who lacked courage were no match for the Guards.

Therefore, the two sides fought in the alley. The Spanish soldiers were very unsuitable to the Guards' bayonet and grenade tactics. They were completely unable to withstand the Guards' attack and were forced to retreat after being killed.

They had never seen such a brutal weapon, and they were instantly routed, attacking the Spanish infantry line.

"Come on!"

"Prepare to surrender, Major." Governor Juan did not hesitate at all. He knew that the situation was over now and the only way to survive at this time was to surrender with his hands raised.

Finally, with the support of other soldiers, Velosa commanded dozens of soldiers around him, lifted up the unconscious priest, and retreated deep into the city of Manila.

Seeing that the gap in the city wall had been occupied, Zheng Kezang immediately ordered the follow-up troops to follow up and rush into Manila. They must capture Manila today.

Much easier to deal with than the green soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.

Subsequently, the Guards and the follow-up troops from Left and Right Wuwei Town rushed into the city with lightning speed, and the situation on the battlefield was irreversible.

At this moment, a squad of Guardsmen suddenly shot out from the slanting thorn, and their team was suddenly thrown into chaos. Seeing that he could not get out, Major Verosa retreated into the Governor's Palace and refused to defend.

At this time, the entire city of Manila was in chaos, with gunshots and explosions everywhere. Spanish soldiers, indigenous soldiers, and residents of Manila were all running around the city like headless flies.

Seeing a gap, the soldiers of the First Battalion of the Guards immediately raised their flintlock rifles, got into the lingering smoke, and fought their way into Manila.

The battle was lost so quickly that it was over before the governor had time to escape by boat.

The only saving grace was that their firepower was pretty good and caused a lot of trouble for Zheng Kezang's troops.

Manila is a small city, and soon Velosa led people to retreat to the crossroads in the center of the city, where the Luzon Governor's Palace and the Augustine Cathedral each occupied a sharp corner.

Before they even reached the Guards, they were already blown to pieces by the Dongning Divine Thunder.

Of course, there are a few people who take advantage of the situation and make a fortune quietly.

These indigenous soldiers had no fighting power, and Liu Guoxuan was killed with great pleasure.

Some people hurriedly packed their things, while others simply rushed out of the house without taking anything, trying their best to escape. As a result, they pushed and trampled each other, and some people were accidentally killed.

"Mr. Governor, we are defeated, defeated too quickly! We have been surrounded." This was the first sentence Velosa said when he saw Governor Juan.

Under the cover of the Guards' artillery fire and flintlock fire, Qian Yan led the commando soldiers carrying bags of explosives and quickly approached the city wall.

"You are a bunch of cowardly bugs. If you dare to retreat, you will be killed on the spot." Major Verosa was furious.

Fortunately, the hit rate of guns in this era is very impressive, and Qian Yan was not hit.

After saying that, he picked up the first package of explosives, braved the crazy shooting of the Spanish soldiers on the city wall, and rushed towards the bastion like an arrow off the string.

Qian Yanchang took a breath and said silently in his heart: "I am not a salted fish, I want to be a general!"

Therefore, no one was ready to escape and evacuate, and now that the Ming and Zheng troops invaded Manila, everyone panicked.

Major Verosa saw that the Guards had appeared on the city wall and quickly asked the indigenous troops to block the gap.

While running, Qian Yan was thrown away by the shock wave. His ears were buzzing and he almost went deaf.

They firmly held the gap and waited for the follow-up troops to come up.

Although he couldn't escape by boat, because Manila Bay was already surrounded by Zhu Tiangui's more than 200 warships.

Major Verosa, who was hiding at the crenellation of the city, felt his ears hurt and was unsteady. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.

But at this time, Zheng Kezang's troops had basically controlled the city of Manila, so they surrounded the Governor's Palace.

After a while, the sweet gunpowder and explosive packs were ready. Qian Yan looked at the fire that appeared from time to time on the top of the city and remembered Zheng Kezang's teachings: Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers.

But when fighting in such a narrow city, the Spanish soldiers were still far behind the Guards in terms of experience and weapons.

There was a loud "boom" that shook the sky and the night, and even the earth shook violently, and a huge plume of fire and smoke surged above the detonation point.

Liu Guoxuan's left and right Wuwei Town were dedicated to dealing with the indigenous soldiers in Manila.

After everything was ready, he ordered his men to evacuate first, and he personally lit the fuse.

Fortunately, he is not the governor who caused Mingren's blood debt back then, so he should be able to save his life, right?

In fact, he had no idea, because once he surrendered, his life would be in the hands of the enemy.

The sun rose, jumping out of the horizon accompanied by sporadic gunshots, and the thousands of rays of rays of rays shining through the gaps in the clouds on the smoke-filled city of Manila.

At this time, the fighting in Manila was basically over, with only sporadic gunshots. The Guards had completely controlled Manila. After receiving the news, Zheng Kezang led everyone to station in Manila.

This city, which symbolizes the colonial glory of the Spanish Armada, has also officially welcomed its new owner.
