The Spaniards finally couldn't hold back anymore. Under the threat of heavy artillery from the Ming army, they had to give up their defensive strategy in Turtle Cruise City.&1t;/p>

At the order of the Spanish Governor to the Philippines, nearly 3,000 Spanish soldiers suddenly came out in full swing under the dim night in the evening.&1t;/p>

This time attack is to catch the Ming army off guard.&1t;/p>

Spanish soldiers are arranged into the famous Spanish phalanx, with a large group of spearmen as the core, and musketeers are located in each branch in four corners.&1t;/p>

It was like a moving fortress, pressing towards the Ming army's fortress. Although it was a little more bulky, the fortress would not run!&1t;/p>

In the Spaniards' idea, they can retreat by crushing them all the way and then destroying the turrets and heavy artillery.&1t;/p>

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.&1t;/p>

The Spanish's proactive attack was indeed beyond the expectations of the Navy Team 6, but the Navy Team 6 was not blind. As soon as the Spanish left the city gate, the combat command center responsible for commanding the attack on Manila received a report. Then the alarm was immediately sounded and the assembly order was issued.&1t;/p>

The Ming army quickly assembled more than 5,000 people and directly blocked the Spaniards.&1t;/p>

The Spanish only appeared at this time. The Ming army had no spearmen in the square formation, all of which were musketeers, and those musketeers did not even have leather armor.&1t;/p>

The Spanish commander was overjoyed on the spot and felt that the victory was gone.&1t;/p>

Although the Spanish Array is not so popular in Europe over the years, the performance of muskets is far from that good! It’s just that this thing is cheap and trains soldiers faster. These Orientals actually formed an army that uses muskets purely. Isn’t this asking for death?&1t;/p>

“Go forward.”&1t;/p>

With the loud commands and a burst of beating military music, the Spanish phalanx slowly pressed towards the Ming army.&1t;/p>

In the eyes of the Ming army, this degree was simply too uncomfortable, and there was no such sense of oppression brought by the cavalry.&1t;/p>

"Don't use infantry cannons. These Spanish barbarians finally came out, don't scare them away." The command issued an order to hide the ultimate move of "shotball baptism". So he let the Spanish phalanx go.&1t;/p>

Both sides are getting closer and closer. Soon, they reach the distance where both sides can clearly see each other's expressions.&1t;/p>

"Sixty meters..."&1t;/p>

"Fifty meters..."&1t;/p>

Bang bang bang…&1t;/p>

The Spanish phalanx fired first, but the firepower was sparse. Their musketeers were divided into four corners of the phalanx, and they could only swing two musketeers. This firepower was like drizzle.&1t;/p>

Some Ming soldiers were shot to the ground by lead, but no one cared about it. The formation was still as still as a mountain.&1t;/p>

"Shoot."&1t;/p>

With the order, the Ming army opened fire in an instant.&1t;/p>

Bang bang bang…&1t;/p>

A volley of fire, a large number of lead bullets with the power of destruction, instantly shot a large number of Spanish soldiers fifty meters away.&1t;/p>

In an instant, the Spaniard was frightened.&1t;/p>

Although the firepower of the volley was not as good as that of the three-stage shooting, the lethality that burst out instantly brought an unparalleled impact to the Spanish. Many Spanish soldiers were frightened on the spot and their legs were weak.&1t;/p>

They don't know if they can get over the next volley of the Ming army, but looking at this momentum, many Spanish soldiers feel that they are hanging.&1t;/p>

I'm dying!&1t;/p>

Many Spanish soldiers panicked on the spot, and just a round of volleys, the morale of these Spanish people was severely damaged.&1t;/p>

"The whole army charges." When the Spanish commander saw this situation, he immediately decisively issued a charge order. The Ming army's firepower was too terrifying. If you line up for guns, you will definitely not be the opponent.&1t;/p>

However, the Ming army's phalanx was not protected by spearmen. Moreover, the musketeers did not have any protective armor. As long as they were closer, they could launch a (harmonious) killing of these Ming army.&1t;/p>

Under normal circumstances, such judgment is very correct.&1t;/p>

However, the Ming army still needs bayonets! But the Ming army doesn't even need to use bayonets. Because the Spanish who started charging soon encountered trouble. Because they stepped on landmines, the places they came up were densely filled with mines.&1t;/p>

The explosions suddenly became louder, and Spanish soldiers stepped on steel wheel lighters, which led to a series of explosions of landmines.&1t;/p>

Burying landmines is a major habit of the Ming army today. Detonating through steel wheel lighters and setting up serial explosive landmines is a good way to prevent enemy raids.&1t;/p>

In this era of war where dense arrays are the mainstream, the enemy's formation must be relatively dense. As long as the steel wheel lighter is buried on the enemy's necessary path, there will always be someone who will step on it.&1t;/p>

The second round of the Ming army's volley was only twelve seconds later.&1t;/p>

Through quick loading of paper bullets and strict training, the 6th Navy Team has reached the shooting degree indicators of regular military musketeers in the Supreme Command.&1t;/p>

This indicator is 5 volleys in one minute.&1t;/p>

Spanish soldiers suffered heavy losses in the explosion of mines and the volley of lead bombs in just a moment. A large number of soldiers died in front of the formation. Many of them were injured by the mines. Some of them were unlucky and were directly killed by the mines, but these black gunpowder mines usually injured their legs.&1t;/p>

The Spanish square, which was originally orderly, soon fell into chaos.&1t;/p>

In such a chaotic state, the third round of volleys came again.&1t;/p>

Bang bang…&1t;/p>

The gunshots like fried beans are simply death-desperate talismans. What made the Spaniards desperate was that there was a trench in front of the Ming army.&1t;/p>

Such fortifications are simply crazy. For Mao, you orientals don't play according to the routine?&1t;/p>

Scatter, then volley!&1t;/p>

Within just one minute, the Ming army poured five rounds of muskets at these Spaniards, and the lead bullets swept through again and again. The Spaniards' spearmen were simply targets. The plate armor on their bodies had no effect at all within a distance of fifty meters, and the lead bullets still penetrated.&1t;/p>

A large group of Spaniards collapsed.&1t;/p>

Then the Ming army showed off a bayonet and charged towards the Spaniards under command.&1t;/p>

Looking at the Ming soldiers who rushed over the trench and the bright bayonets on their muskets, the Spanish soldiers were really desperate.&1t;/p>

They simply have no formation and it is impossible to win.&1t;/p>

This is true. After the Ming army charged, the Spaniards were defeated quickly. The battlefield entered the stage of bayonet fighting, and some of the Spaniards who were fighting stubbornly were quickly stabbed to death by bayonets. Most of the Spaniards were very aware of each other and surrendered when they saw that the situation was wrong.&1t;/p>

As a bandit group, these Europeans basically fight the rules of war, grab it if they can beat it, run away if they can't beat it, and surrender if they can't.&1t;/p>

What kind of combat beliefs, they only believe in money.&1t;/p>

The battle ended soon, and there were not many Spanish people who successfully ran away. These Spanish people consumed a lot of physical strength when charging towards the Ming army. In addition, the Spanish soldiers were mainly spearmen, wearing plate armor, and it was obviously very difficult to escape. In addition, it was about two kilometers away from the city gate, and before they could run back to Manila, they were caught up by the Ming army.&1t;/p>

Only some musketeers who ran earlier successfully ran to the city and were picked up by the Spaniards in the city with hanging baskets.&1t;/p>

The Spanish Governor to the Philippines was completely stunned on the wall, and finally understood a problem completely, that is, once the Ming Dynasty decided to go to war with Spain, Spain would not be able to gain a foothold in the East at all.&1t;/p>

The work of cleaning the battlefield was soon launched. Nearly 3,000 Spanish soldiers were killed, and more than 1,000 others were captured. Among the prisoners, most of them were injured Spanish soldiers, many of them were unsuccessful. Many were injured in the thighs and had to be amputated. Many were injured by lead bullets, and some could not be saved.&1t;/p>

Especially in this tropical area, wound infection is very fast. Many of them are not cured.&1t;/p>

The military doctors of the Ming army were just trying their best to treat them, and they were not forced to save them, and they were just doing their best to do humanitarianism.&1t;/p>

The Spaniards in the city all understood that Manila would definitely not be able to defend because the troops in the city were too empty. The Spanish governor had returned to his mansion, and he was completely obsessed with the army. Instead, he locked himself in the mansion and drank himself, causing himself to be drunk.&1t;/p>

After the Ming army outside the city learned from the prisoners that there were not many troops in the city, they immediately persuaded the Spaniards in the city to surrender.&1t;/p>

After these Spaniards found that their governor was drunk, several soldiers opened the city gates, while others did not stop them.&1t;/p>

The Ming army then entered the city, disarmed the Spaniards, and took over the Spanish ruling structure over the Philippines.&1t;/p>

The Ming army warship outside the port soon drove into Manila.&1t;/p>

Manila was very quiet that night, and there was no flow of blood (harmony) events (harmony). The Ming army entering the city did not rob property, nor did there be strong (harmony) violent (harmony) women. Instead, they imposed a forbidden night on Manila, and all the indigenous people hid at home in fear.&1t;/p>

In the Governor's Office, Sun Yiguo looked at the pile of silver in front of him with a little stunned. When the Ming army entered the Governor's Office, he was also stunned by the pile of treasures in front of him. The Spanish Governor was lying drunk in the pile of silver.&1t;/p>

After some counting, these silvers are as much as tens of millions of taels.&1t;/p>

These silvers were prepared by the Spanish to trade with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and were trade funds for nearly two years. For the Spanish, they were increasingly dependent on purchasing goods from other countries. Although the Spanish had money, their productivity was still very poor.&1t;/p>

As the country with the most exquisite commodities in the world, the Ming Dynasty was naturally an important trade object for the Spaniards.&1t;/p>

Sun Yiguo immediately asked someone to seal the silver and then send the victory to the capital as quickly as possible. At the same time, while controlling the indigenous puppet regime, he also accepted the Spanish's ruling interests on the islands of the Luzon Islands.&1t;/p>

When Zhu Youxiao received the good news, it was already after the summer harvest.&1t;/p>

The summer harvest in northern provinces this year is quite good, especially the summer harvest in northern Zhili and Liaodong areas is relatively good.&1t;/p>

However, Zhu Youxiao soon encountered great trouble, because after the summer harvest, there was a locust plague in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province, and locusts covered the sky and sun, eating up all the autumn seedlings that the farmers had just planted. However, Yan'an Prefecture in northern Shaanxi encountered snowfall in six months, but it continued to fall for more than a month without listening. Who knows how long it will take.&1t;/p>

The news that the Navy defeated Spain and occupied the Luzon Islands shocked Zhu Youxiao, especially the capture of tens of millions of taels of silver. When the civil and military officials of the court learned the news, they were also stunned.&1t;/p>

The Spaniards had killed more than 30,000 Han people in Luzon (Harmony), so Zhu Youxiao decided to send an investigation team to the Luzon Islands to thoroughly investigate the matter and hold the relevant indigenous people and Spaniards accountable. He also ordered the navy to transport the seized silver back to Beijing.&1t;/p>

After dealing with the navy's good news, Zhu Youxiao immediately focused on disaster relief. He issued several imperial edicts to Jinan Prefecture and Yan'an Prefecture in recent days and issued several disaster relief policies. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
