"Boom boom boom..."

The cannons on the shore were firing, and the cannons on the warships were bombarding, and the huge roar of artillery overshadowed any other sound in Manila City.

In the era when there were no flower bombs, even if the bombardment of solid shells such as iron bombs and chain bombs hit the target, their power was actually limited. At most, the city wall was broken into pieces and the warship had a hole. If you have a better luck, it would be that the city wall broke into a corner and the warship had a big hole.

The Ming army warships rely on their number advantage and braved the bombardment of Spanish and Dutch artillery. After approaching the port, they did not need to aim. They just tried to bombard iron bombs, chain bombs and other shells, just like they didn't have to pay.

Oh, no, it’s not that you don’t need money, but it’s like these solid bullets are hot and you can smash them as quickly as you can.

The Ming army fired so many solid bombs that a scene occurred: a Spaniard's cannon bombarded, and the iron bullet roared out, but as soon as it took off, a Ming army's iron bullet flew towards me, colliding in the air, making a loud "bang".

Even if there are artillery on the city wall to help, there are too many artillery in the Ming army. Especially the Ming army warships are attacking at the risk of being hit. If you shoot one iron bullet, I can give you three.

Under such an offensive, the Spanish and Dutch warships retreated to the port of Manila soon could not resist it. Even with the support of artillery on the city wall, they were suppressed by the Ming army artillery.

So, in the Ming fleet, some warships began to approach the seaside and could not dock. The Ming soldiers jumped off the boat, jumped to the beach like dumplings, and then wade to the shore.

One, two... More and more Ming troops began to gather on the shore.

Seeing this situation on the battlefield, Spain's Governor Luzon Diago, no longer knew how many times he had gone to wipe his sweat. He no longer cared about the so-called gentlemanly demeanor, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, the muskets are ready, the Ming infantry is going to attack the city!"

"What are you short guys doing? You are ready to defend the city! Smash me with a stone, and if it really doesn't work, fight back!"

"And you, where are your subordinates? Are you blind? Didn't you see the Ming army siege and watch a show in the east? Why don't you go and transfer it here!"

"You go to the street to pass the order, and everyone will go to the top of the city to defend. If the city is about to be broken, everyone will die, and it will be useless to hide from the world!"

“…”

The Ming army was posing for one stimulus to capture Manila, which made Diego feel that the west wall was not strong enough. He was worried that he could not defend it, so he had to draw troops from other wall sections.

This time, the Ming army's attack was too sudden and seriously exceeded Diago's expectations. Otherwise, he would not have sent Philot to find the Ming army's food and supplies, nor would he have asked West to take his men to chase and suppress the remnants of the Ming people, nor would he look forward to discussing the combat plan against the Ming army after joining with the Governor Batavia.

Otherwise, just drawing people from the indigenous tribes to defend Manila City would increase a lot of people. Thinking of this, Diago cursed Fidnandi again, but one day before the Ming army came to attack Manila, he would take people to chase and kill the remnants of the Ming people...

Thinking of this, Diago was suddenly shocked.

Fednandi and West went out for so long and didn't see any trace of their return. Even if Manila Bay was so shaped like this, they wouldn't have been seen.

Immediately, he remembered what Fednandi reported, saying that he sent about fifty people, but they all disappeared silently. Looking back now, the remaining Ming people should not have this strength. Could it be that the Ming army had already appeared yesterday?

But if the Ming army had come so early, could they have determined that this time it would be calm and suitable for a large army to go out to sea? Wouldn't they be afraid that the storm would become more powerful and knock their army over and feed them to the fish?

"Bang..."

A loud bang came from near Diago, and a blind iron bomb fell near him and did not fall on him. He was so scared that he came back to his senses and quickly focused his attention on the present moment, not daring to distract himself from thinking about other things.

Diago looked closely and saw that there were already many Ming infantrymen who had got off the ship. Although they did not attack, they might have seen them unloading equipment from the warships. There were heavy artillery, cars, simple ladders, etc.

Obviously, they have made sufficient preparations for attacking Manila. This time, attacking Manila will be a sure battle.

After reaching this conclusion, Diago's khan emerged again.

Fortunately, the offensive on the Ming Dynasty warships has eased a lot, and there is not so much gunfire.

Diago quickly looked at the sea in the direction of the port again, and saw the Ming Dynasty's front-line warships slowly retreating. It can be seen that about half of these retreating warships were damaged.

"Bastard, disgusting!" Diago just looked at it for a while and suddenly started to curse. When the cannon sound was much lower, it became particularly loud again.

The reason why I was so angry was not for anything else, but for the Ming army that was really bullying people too much!

The Ming warships that were bombarded before withdrew from the warships, which did not mean that the naval warships would end. Instead, the Ming fleet took advantage of their numerical advantage and only removed these battleships that participated in the warships and wanted to change them to fight against each other.

However, the remaining warships in Spain and the Netherlands were originally bullied by the Ming army with more and less. It was like an adult beating a child. After a beat, another adult beating came up and beat him. What's the matter? This is too bullying!

"Bastard, disgusting, bastard, disgusting..." Diago cursed fiercely for a while, and then didn't care about cursing anymore. He quickly ordered his men to strengthen the defense of the port again, and even transfer all the artillery at the end of the city walls over with this skill. Otherwise, he would probably not be able to withstand the second wave of the Ming army's offensive.

The same feeling as him was Anthony, the governor of Batavia in the Netherlands, tied to the bow of the ship. At this time, he had completely re-understood the Far Eastern Empire.

With the national strength of this Far East Empire, once the war machine is really launched, no matter which country's colonial company is, it cannot be its opponent. No matter how behind the warships are, the artillery is not as good as those of them, but they can defeat any Far East. It's ridiculous that I was still thinking about joining forces with Spain to cut off the Ming Dynasty's idea of ​​reaching out to the South China Sea. This is simply a daydream!

Look, even if I was not ambushed by the Ming army and rushed to Manila to join the Spanish to deal with the Ming army, at most it would only cause the Ming army to lose more ships and people, and the ending would not change! Not to mention, the Ming country still has a huge fleet in Japan!

"Oh..." Anthony thought about this and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

…………

After the Ming army completed the warship rotation, a new batch of warships forced their way to Anila Port again, just like the first time, as if the iron bullets were all hot potatoes, and they were desperately bombarded out.

"Boom boom boom..."

The roar of artillery once again became the main theme of many musicals in Manila.

The already broken Spanish and Dutch warships could no longer withstand the Ming army's bombardment. The crew members jumped into the sea, or simply leaned the warships directly on the dock, and the sailors began to flee to Manila.

On the distant shore, the Ming infantry and their siege equipment also began to drive towards Manila City.

Seeing all this, Diago felt like he was going to finish.

However, it is impossible to let him wait for death. He shouted loudly, urged, and scolded, and asked his men to defend themselves.

However, just as he was yelling and trying to strengthen the defense in the direction of the port to the west, a subordinate suddenly rolled and crawled over, yelling at him loudly while avoiding the bombardment of Ming army artillery outside the city.

However, the artillery bombardment and other sounds on the city were too noisy, which made Diego unable to hear what he was shouting. But vaguely, he felt a little bad when he saw that his subordinate was so panicked.

The man rushed to Diago and almost hit him, but he didn't think about apologizing for the collision with the Governor, but shouted at Diago in a straight voice: "Ming Army... Ming Army is attacking!"

Isn’t this nonsense? I can’t see Ming Jun rushing over, and I want you to come over and report in such a panic?

However, before he could scold him, he saw that the man's hand was pointing in the east direction.

After coming back to his senses, Diago's face, which had already been defeated, suddenly became even whiter. He confirmed with a little disbelief: "A Ming army also appeared in the east?"

"The attack will come soon!" The subordinate cried and nodded repeatedly, "Governor General quickly sends troops to reinforce, it will be too late!"

At the moment when he heard him clearly, Diago's head suddenly turned blank. He couldn't understand why the Ming army appeared in the east? This is impossible!

After a little stunned, he came to his senses, of course he was unwilling to let it go, so he quickly began to call for people to send people to reinforce the east city wall. There was no suppression of artillery there, and even the musket team was transferred to the west. The defense was too weak, so we must promptly reinforce.

However, before he could finish the arrangement of his men, he heard a loud cheer suddenly coming from the east gate. The sound of this sound could not be covered by even the roar of artillery.

Turning around, Diago saw a red torrent flow into the city in the east direction, and then it was divided into many streams, either attacking both sides of the city wall, continuing to attack along the city wall, or scattering in the streets.

That red is so dazzling!

More than that, at this moment, the fireworks in the east gate exploded, colorful, and even during the day, they could see clearly. One, one after another, became even clearer.

There is no doubt that this is a signal flare, and the Ming people used the fireworks they were good at sending out a signal flare.
Chapter completed!
