Chapter 1051 Break the city

Wang Tong's guard was the enemy head-on. He fired a round of muskets, and then the spearmen went to chase him. Of course, there was no danger of stabbing behind him, but they were also wearing armor, and the weight of the spear was not light, so the pursuit could not be so fast. Moreover, the courageous Spanish soldiers had already lost their weapons and ran quickly, so the distance gradually widened.

The backbone of pirates everywhere has always been lurking in buildings close to the fortress. At this time, they rushed out to find the bargain.

Even if the Spanish soldiers were well trained, they could cause harm to them when they were fleeing. Even if they were holding a wooden stick, these pirates were very energetic and could beat the dogs in the water. They could see the power of the giant cannon clearly. What's more important is that everything was in Wang Tong's arrangement. Since they got ashore, the arrangements made by the young duke were considered laborious and ridiculous, but they did not expect them to come true.

The Spanish soldiers fell to the ground screaming and fled faster. The fortress no longer dared to fire in this direction because the possibility of accidental injury was too high.

What made the Spaniards relieved was that the other party did not kill them all. Armed personnel appeared on both sides of the road, about to divide and surround them, but there was a long sound of trumpets. Although they didn't know what command signal was, the people who chased them retreated back to their original position or turned back.

Immediately, the Spaniards knew why they were not chasing them. They had just dispersed the people swarming in the gap in the fortress. The heavy cannon fired again, and another hole was opened in the stone wall.

The Han people were not so excited to drive the indigenous people. They just used the concealment of the buildings to push the light cannon forward as much as possible, and then hit the shells onto the stone walls and into the fortress.

The heavy artillery fired very slowly, as if each artillery had to be adjusted, so naturally there was no accurate shooting. However, the general direction was to shoot slowly towards the gun positions in the opposite direction. Even if the gun position could not be defeated, the collapse of the stone wall near the gun position would make the gun unable to shoot, because the heavy artillery itself would crush the stone wall.

The infantry holding the muskets had no way to stand on it and defend it. Not to mention the devastating heavy artillery, they could not stand the light artillery that could be fired calmly, let alone the concept of these light artillery was just smaller than the cannon that was over 18 pounds.

The fortress's firepower on the inland has weakened and disappeared. The attacking natives did not even use much power to rush over and rushed over. The current situation is that if you can enter the fortress, you don't have to be slaughtered by the Han people's firearms, but it is a little safer, even though you start a hand-to-hand battle with the white people when you go there.

The buildings used as shelter were also demolished, the range of heavy artillery fired wider, and the stone walls of the fortress, which were not large, began to break into pieces everywhere.

The fire interval between the cannon was very long, but the Spanish in the fortress could not even block it. The Han people's pockets were tighter and tighter. The natives had nowhere to go to the fortress. If they wanted to escape or hide, the buildings were demolished little by little, and there was nowhere to hide, and they were killed little by little.

The gap is large enough, and the range of the heavy artillery is sufficient. After slightly raising the firing angle, it can even hit the turret on the other side of the sea.

In the fortress, the Spaniards could see the Nangang issue orders to the sea. Even if they didn't understand the meaning of the banner, they would understand.

When the sun set, all the fortress's fortress were beaten to lose its combat effectiveness. Governor Paul Louis was not a fool. He lit the white flag before dark.

The sound of artillery stopped, but the indigenous people's attack did not stop. Why was the surrender? It was to survive, not to be hacked to death by the indigenous people. The Spanish battle continued.

After the sky was completely dark, the battle stopped. After the white flag was shot, the other party did not fire, but the battle did not stop. This really made people feel depressed. Now, in order to survive, I have to endure even the humiliation.

"We want to surrender, we have to put down our weapons!"

After all, there are so many Han people in Luzon, and there are many Han merchant ships. They have also learned some Chinese. Of course, the accent of the Fujian side is inevitable.

The Han people did not respond at all. It seemed that after a day of battle, they were extremely tired and did not want to respond to their surrender.

"Today, the natives consume as much as possible, and send orders to the people of each family to cheer them up. After working idle for so long, it was time to use the knife."

The next day, he got up from the tent, and Wang Tong gave an order calmly. He didn't like the humid and hot climate of Luzon, and the battles these days were also very boring.

Wang Tong has always been in the military and has a very regular schedule, but others may not be able to do so. When Wang Tong walked out of the tent, more than a dozen people guarding his tent scattered around him to report the news. The camps of the wealthy merchants and sea owners were not put together, but were scattered. They trusted Wang Tong, but for so many years, they had their own taboos and rules at sea. When the distance was close, it was very likely that the fire would be too much. Be careful.

"Call them back, this public order is to be passed!"

The group of people had just moved, but was stopped by Wang Tong. The guards quickly stopped them. The dozen people followed suit and saw the scenery. When they heard Wang Tong talking, they all came back with apologies.

"This afternoon, all native women in the tents must be placed in a unified manner. If you are reluctant to leave, you can make a mark and return it to him in the future. But if you still keep it privately after this afternoon, I will do this military law in Luzon, bring the words, don't say I haven't said it."

Everyone around them agreed respectfully and then went to pass the order. This time everyone was actually doing business together, and this "military law" was not enough. But look at Wang Tong's gunboats, look at the elite tigers and wolves on the shore, and look at these cannons. Not to mention the marching law, even if they want to annex and kill people, who can do anything, and they still have to obey orders.

Wang Tong has strict military disciplines, but the various sea lords and the wealthy merchants in Songjiang are different. Although they usually do whatever they want, they are invaders and conquerors on the ground of Luzon. The feeling of not treating the natives is still different. The natives' residence near the fortress area is also considered the essence of the entire Luzon islands. Although the natives have not evolved completely, they are somewhat exotic. Many people, even big and small leaders, have made one or several places. There are not many places that can be used for fighting in the past few days. They are also happy in the camp tents all day long.

But after relaxing for so long, I am so nervous at this time.

The sixteen three-pound cannons and six-character cannons transported from sea were lined up. The buildings around them were demolished to flat ground, and the artillerymen who came down from the ship were loading and preparing. In order to provide today's shells, there were even gunboats close to Nangang last night to unload the goods, just to ensure that today's ammunition is sufficient.

The white flag on the bell tower is still hanging, and the battle has to continue, but the Spaniards are unwilling to give up the opportunity to surrender. In order to survive, the bottom line will be the lowest.

The heavy artillery destroyed the stone wall, which allowed the gunboats at sea to be close to fire. The fortress's turret defense completely collapsed. Now the gunboats are close enough to let go of bombardment.

Fortunately, after defeating the defense of the turret, the artillery stopped. They also had muskets and light cannons in their hands. Even if they did not have firearms and had armour fighting with the natives in their armor, they didn't have to worry too much. But the Spanish felt a vague despair in their hearts because they didn't know when the attack would stop, it was like hell...

"What did this native say?"

For some reason, when I woke up in the morning, there were natives in the prisoner camp who wanted to see Wang Tong. This man was not young and looked much whiter than the ordinary natives. According to pirates who knew the local customs, most of these were local nobles, chiefs and other roles.

"Mr. Master, this native said that he wants to be the king here in the future. He has to take care of the people here. He always needs the local natives to help. The blood debts of the Han people, so many natives should pay off after so many natives die. If the Duke spares the lives of these people, they are willing to be a cow or a horse..."

The translator is also a pirate. These people are not uncommon to travel through various ports and be proficient in local languages.

Wang Tong frowned, turned his head and smiled and said in a low voice: "There are smart people everywhere. This native man is very smart when he can do such a gesture."

Sha Dacheng smiled, but did not respond because he knew that Wang Tong had some more information. As expected, Wang Tong waved his hand with a smile and said, "Cut it!"

The native obviously knew Chinese and looked up in shock. The person behind him had already cut off his sword. The knife fell down, and blood spurted all over the ground. Wang Tong smiled and said, "This is the truth, but our Ming Dynasty is not their Spanish. There are few Spanish people, so we have to rely on you natives. We have many Han people, hundreds of thousands or millions of people will come. If we don't kill all of you, how can we have our territory!"

The people around Wang Tong were so proud of these words. Wang Tong smiled and raised his voice, and said again: "Today's general attack will catch up with all the local men, and then consume them and accept the surrender of the Spaniards."

Everyone agreed and went to make arrangements. Instead, Han Tie, who was next to Wang Tong, whispered: "Master, that group of white people killed so many of us Han people, so they just surrendered."

He was young and didn't care so much. He also heard a lot of things about the Spanish massacre of Han people on the road. After he arrived, he learned more about the truth from Bai Wu's side. It was inevitable that he felt full of hatred in his heart. Wang Tong smiled and patted Han Tie on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Let them surrender not let them live, prepare for battle!"

The forces following the king gathered all the useful people up, and even the gunboats at the sea brought the drawn sailors to the shore through small boats and sampans.

Most of the cannons in the fortress cannot be fired, and the cannons on Wang Tong can be suppressed at any time. The white flag has been fired, and the long-range firepower is equal to not be enough, so this time the pockets of the Han armed forces are tightened a lot again.

All the native men in the captive camp were caught, and they didn't send weapons to them, and they all drove them to the front. They didn't do much, but just shouted. The drum sounded, and you rushed forward. When the drum sounded, the Han people were about to catch up. They wanted to kill them, but rushing into the fortress may still have a chance. As for weapons, pick up whatever they had on the road!

The natives all looked haggard. Although they had only been a few days ago, the Han people never allowed them to have enough food. They were all in a state of hunger and weakness. Seeing that children and the elderly were driven over, they probably understood what was going to happen.

But what can I do? The Han pirates who are raising their strength are all ready to kill, not to mention those firearms that look more sophisticated than white people. When they rushed in, there might be a glimmer of hope...

The drums sounded, and the indigenous people rushed towards the Spanish fortress in exhaustion and despair.

"The Han people outside use our hands to consume the indigenous people. If we kill all of these indigenous people, we will have a chance to surrender."

Paul Louis also had blood on his body. At the end of yesterday's battle, he, the governor, also had to take a sword to participate in the hand-to-hand combat. Now all the Spaniards in the fortress are gathered together and are preparing for a decisive battle. Perhaps it is not a decisive battle, but it is definitely the final battle.

The Governor, who was sitting back to the local area and dreaming of becoming a rich man half a month ago, had a hoarse voice and a dusty face. Paul Louis was not a child, and he also understood what might happen, but now it is possible, and there is a glimmer of chance. He must seize it. His mentality is the same as the natives outside at this time.

Every white man who lined up in the fortress forgots had forgotten how they massacred the Han people a year ago, how desperate and helpless the kind Han people were in their hearts, and how excited and cheerful these white men were.

The shouts outside were getting closer and closer, and the Spanish people also began to shout, waving their weapons to rush out...

The trapped beasts are still fighting. It may be inappropriate to describe the indigenous people, but it is just right to describe the Spanish. When a person who is several times more likely to be in contact with the Spanish, those who are killed by muskets are nothing. Once they enter the state of hand-to-hand combat, they will immediately collapse.

But they had no way to retreat. Behind them were the Han people approaching. The Han people are no longer fewer than those of the natives in terms of population. They are also killing people. Only by rushing through the front can they avoid the ones behind.

The situation quickly turned into the Spanish inside and the Han people outside to kill the indigenous people, and the large number of indigenous people was rapidly decreasing.

It is impossible for people to die in the battle. The Spanish soldiers were fine. Many of the male Ding who were temporarily pulled up lost to four hands and died under the swords and bamboo guns of the natives.

The battle didn't last long, and the Spaniards even retreated to the fortress, but the natives could not rush in no matter what. Their spirit and will had completely collapsed, and they were even unwilling to fight. They just knelt on the ground, lying on the ground, slumped on the ground, dazed and stupid.

The horn whimpered, and the exhausted Spaniards thought that the next battle between the Han people and them was the Han people, but they did not expect that the Han people who had just arrived retreated.

What happened? Netguen wondered, but heard a roar of thunder sounded from the sea and around the fortress, and the artillery fire broke out.

The ships on the sea had a total of hundreds of cannons. They got close enough to fire together. There were not many cannons on the shore, and they all started. The smoke and dust that had just fallen on the Jinyi Dangguo Bar was hit by shells again. The natives who were sank on the ground were unwilling to get up and would rather die like this. The remaining buildings in the fortress could not withstand such bombardment and began to collapse. Some people hid inside and wanted to cover up, but were killed by the collapsed buildings.

After three rounds of artillery bombardment, the range of the shelling was quiet, and there was not even a pain. In this era, the density of such artillery fire can be described in two words: astonishing.

"Xiao Zheng, when I go back this time, I will take out all the money I have given to my son. I will build such big ships and install cannons, otherwise I will not be able to make it at sea!"

There were also buildings that were not demolished outside the battlefield, but a rustic platform was built, with a group of sea owners and wealthy merchants on it. Their man Wang Tong came to command, and these people were happy to make favors, not to argue, but to watch the fun.

The big ships and cannons on the sea left a deep impression on them. Seeing this scene, they all knew that they could not compare with Wang Tong.

"This kind of ship is the lifeblood of his own. Can the Duke of Liao sell it to you?"

"Yes, I heard from the few people in Songjiang that as long as you can get the money, and you can register a number in several banks under the Duke of Liao and give shares, you can buy it. I guess you can't buy such a big one, but you can also get a smaller one."

"That's to buy it. With this ship, red-haired ghosts and other things, we don't have to give them face!"

The two of them were happy. On the other hand, a fat man also interrupted and said, "I am not willing to follow you this time. Now I think I am here right now. In this situation, if you don't follow the Duke of Liao at sea, I'm afraid there will be no way out in the future!!"

"If you can have a world in Luzon, you will never live in vain in your life..."

Some people were also fascinated and said that they saw Wang Tong's fleet, Wang Tong's power, and the possibility that Wang Tong showed them. Everyone was moved. They were originally the overlords on this sea surface. Although they were not as good as foreign ships, they could win more. They didn't want to change anything. But after seeing all this in front of them, these pirate leaders knew that they would not be able to change.

At this moment, a report came from the other side: "Master, the shelling is over!"

"The teams searched and entered, the indigenous people were seriously injured and killed, and the minor injured assisted in transporting, and accepted the surrender of the Spanish!"

Wang Tong ordered loudly, and the officers agreed loudly and turned to the battlefield. This attitude of making the following Dharma makes the bystanders admire him again. The officers did not go far, but Wang Tong added an order: "Let the Spaniards lose their weapons and divide them into 100 people in each team!"
