Hai Rufeng and He Qingyuan beat the east and west, quickly breaking through Bianwente Port. The chapter is updated the fastest

Roser, with more than 100 Spanish soldiers, could not help but hurriedly blow up the artillery in Port Cavente, fled back to Manila City in a panic. On the way, he encountered Pique sending 100 troops to reinforce. Although he was defeated by the Qin army, he finally took Roser back.

When it was dawn, Qin army warships began to approach the port and urgently unloaded combat supplies.

Pique was unwilling to fail and organized 500 troops again in an attempt to recapture Port Caventer.

Five hundred Spanish soldiers supported the battle flag, beat the drums, and advanced towards the Port of Cavente with neat steps.

Before the Qin army's artillery could be removed, a unique gun battle began.

He Qingyuan also ordered the 500 Marines to line up in an orderly manner and face the Spaniards in neat steps.

The Spanish lieutenant Mark Dil, who led his army, was full of confidence. The five hundred Spanish soldiers under him were equipped with rifles, and the appearance of the rifle was not much different from the original musket;

It's just that because of the rifle, its range is longer and more accurate. How could he know that Qin Mu was also equipped with rifles, and it was even more advanced than theirs.

The Spanish came forward with a small drum. As soon as they entered the range, both sides almost opened fire. Rows of muskets spewed out flames, smoke filled the gunpowder, and bullets churned. Someone on both sides was shot and fell to the ground, and screams came.

Mark Dil was shocked: "God, the enemy is actually equipped with rifles, hurry, second row!"

After the Spaniards finished shooting in the first row, they immediately returned to the back row and gave it to the second row to shoot. Their rifle was extremely troublesome to load, and they had to carry a small hammer with them;

After measuring the gunpowder and putting it into the chamber, they took off the small hammers hanging around their waists, and hit the open strips hard, pressing the bullets into the chamber. This process was very slow, and the knocking force was too large, which hurt the rifle. If the knocking force was small, the bullets could not be pressed into it.

Mark Dill was surprised to find that just as his soldiers were waving the little hammer in sweat, the Qin army's rows of volleys never stopped, and bullets whistled in like pouring rain.

The Spanish soldiers who were still waving their little hammers desperately made a sound, and bloody flowers spewed out of blood holes and fell to the ground screaming. They were cut down like wheat.

"Oh God! Oh...How is this possible..."

The Qin army used paper-shell fixed charges, imitating Nimi bullets. With a single bar, the bullets could be pressed into the chamber. The loading speed was several times faster than that of the Spaniards. After one row was fired in volleys, the second row was rotated continuously, and the bullets were as dense as raindrops. The Spanish defeated the army.

In less than a cup of tea, Mark Dill threw down more than a hundred corpses and fled back to Manila City in a mess. The drum and hammer were thrown all over the floor.

After the Qin army dropped more than 20 artillery pieces from the ship, tens of thousands of troops landed after the extermination. In the afternoon, they began to advance towards Manila City in a mighty manner.

Manila City is not big, it is only one mile long and wide. It is a transportation fortress connecting the southeast and northwest of the main island of the Philippines. A river called the Bashi River surrounds the city from east to northwest and then flows into Manila Bay;

The Spanish colonial government built a castle and fort in Manila on the south bank of the Pashi River.

The city is very close to the port horse head. The Spanish warships parked in the Port of Manila can fully cover the three north and southwest walls.

Therefore, if the Qin army wants to attack the city, they can only attack from the east, which invisibly increases the difficulty.

When it comes to siege, Chinese people recognize second place, and I am afraid no one in the world dares to recognize first place.

The east is just east, He Qingyuan and others didn’t pick on fat and thinness. Tens of thousands of troops came to Dongcheng, like black clouds.

On the top of Manila City, Andre, Pique and others couldn't help but feel cold when they saw it. They had more than 1,000 Spanish soldiers, including hundreds of sailors controlling ships at the port, and there were only seven or eight hundred remaining in the city;

Together with the native Filipinos, the total amount was less than three thousand, but Andre did not think that these native Filipinos could be counted on.

The only thing to be thankful is that the fortress at the top of the city is strong enough and there are enough turrets.

Because Luzon is located in a sea area of ​​special latitudes, there are only two seasons, one for dry season and one for rainy season. November to June is the hot dry season every year, and June to October is the rainy season. During the dry season, the so-called breeze among villagers blows from south to north and eventually blows straight to the north.

The Bashi River flows from the southeast to Manila City. Just in time, He Qingyuan sent people to build a lot of rafts, then piled wet firewood on it, and then lit it and let the raft float downstream to Manila City.

After the rolling smoke covered the sight of the city, He Qingyuan gave the order, Aquino and two hundred natives who were captured immediately rushed up with hoes to dig the cannon position.

If you directly put the artillery on the flat ground and fight against the Spaniards on the city wall, you will suffer a great loss, so you must first dig the cannon position.

Aquino and others were forced to dig with their butts under the threat of the Qin army. The Filipino monkeys were usually too lazy to die, but they were still hard to move their nature. After digging a few hoes, Aquino stopped. As a result, a gunshot was heard, and the bullet hit the ground beside him, which scared him so much that he shouted, "Father, I dig, I dig, don't kill me..."

Qin Jun couldn't understand what he was calling out. It didn't matter, as long as you dig hard.

Under the threat of bullets, Aquino never worked so hard in his life. He waved his hoe hard, but ended up exerting too much force and the handle of the hoe snapped.

He was so scared that he quickly raised the broken hoe and shouted, "The Qin army doesn't care about you, and he shot another shot at Aquino's feet, scaring him to fall to the ground. Because he was worried that another bullet would fly, he was blessed to his heart and snatched the indigenous hoe next to him and continued to dig hard...

The Spanish at the top of the city did not know what the Qin army drove away these natives. When the wind blew away the thick smoke, Pique saw a group of natives digging a hole through the vague smoke. At first, he was a little confused, but then he thought that the Qin army might want to dig tunnels to explode the city.

"Fire the cannons! Fire the cannons!" Pike couldn't help but scream. The cannons on the top of the city immediately roared, and huge projectiles roared, and they jumped up after hitting the ground, hitting several natives with flesh and blood. The rest of them whistled, threw down their hoes and flew up.

Bang bang bang bang!

The Qin army immediately rang out loud, and the raindrop-like bullets caused these Filipino monkeys to fall down like cutting wheat, and blood filled;

Only then did Aquino realize that these Qin soldiers, who were dressed in black and full of mystery, were even more cruel than the Spanish, and they could be said to be killing without blinking.

He didn't know that the Qin army came with hatred. Luzon had several anti-Chinese defences. Although the Spanish were instructing him, most of the people who took action were these indigenous people. Tens of thousands of Han people died on this land, which was extremely miserable.

The kind of emperors there are, the kind of army. This time the Royal Navy of the Qin Dynasty came, not only to avenge revenge, but also to turn this land into a province of Daqin. How could it be ruthless?

Driven by bullets, Aquino and other indigenous people had to risk their lives to go back and continue to dig the gun position. Although the Spaniards kept firing, the range of shotguns was insufficient. Although the solid bullet was terrifying, they caused few casualties. They were always stronger than turning back and letting the Qin army shoot like cutting wheat.

Aquino didn't know how many times he had shitted his pants. Finally, he dug more than twenty gun positions without any danger.

In fact, digging this gun position is not a big project. It is just digging a pit to form a low earth wall in front. In this way, the hit rate of the Spaniard's shells is almost zero.

More than 20 artillery pieces were quickly pushed into the cannon position, and then they bombarded the city wall with solid bullets. Under the city, the artillery fire was endless. It was deafening, and huge projectiles continued to bombard the city wall, making the city tremble.

The Spanish were a little desperate. The Qin soldiers did not come up to attack the Qin army's artillery positions, so they could only bombard the Qin army's artillery positions with solid bullets. However, because the artillery positions were concave and there was an earth wall in front, which was difficult to cause substantial damage to the Qin army's artillery.

However, the Qin army's artillery shells were able to bombard the city wall one by one. In just half an hour, under the storm of 20 artillery bombings, a gap several meters wide collapsed on the east wall of Manila City.

At this time, twilight came, and this was the time for the Qin army to wait. Twenty or thirty Qin troops carried more than a dozen rockets, took advantage of the cover of twilight and gun smoke, and rushed to the gap quickly, and then bombarded the city with rockets;

As flames shot up the city, balls of fire light accompanied by deafening loud noises, almost sinking the east wall into a sea of ​​fire;

The Spanish on the city wall were completely stunned. Even though they were used to using firearms, they had never seen such a violent bombing. The fierce shock waves rushed the Spanish soldiers into the sky, tearing them apart, and falling down pieces of meat;

This scene made Andre, Pique and others scattered their courage, and they shouted: "God!"

Thomas reacted quickly and shouted, "Governor General, General Pique, can't defend it anymore, Manila City can't be defended anymore, order to retreat quickly."

As the governor, Andre only came to office last year. Asking him to give up Manila at this time would be equivalent to giving up Luzon. Such a decision would not be easily made.

Pique also rushed to persuade: "Governor General, there are too many people in Qin, and their weapons are more beneficial than ours. For God's sake, Governor General quickly order the city to abandon."

"Governor General, now we abandon the city. With our warships, we should be able to break out. If the enemy rushes in, we will not be able to retreat even if we want to."

Under the city, the Qin army was already rushing towards us. In the flames, they saw them carrying a large number of wooden cutters and long ladders, ready to cross the moat.

The fire under the city was as bright as the sea and shouting like a tide. Andre said in pain: "Dear Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Andre finally ordered to abandon the city, but it was not that easy to leave. Not to mention wealth, there were many Spanish women and children in the city. It was not easy to take these people away in a hurry.

The Qin army quickly crossed the moat with a long ladder and a raft and rushed into the city. At this time, the Spanish people rushed out of the Xicheng and fled to the port with their children.

Thomas led a hundred soldiers along the street to block the Qin army's pursuit, and the two sides launched fierce street fighting...
