In the third month and thirteen days after the Luzon colony was sieged by Western powers led by the Netherlands, the huge imperial royal navy finally completed the assembly and set off from the southernmost Tainan Naval Port and drove further south.

The only pity is that Mao Jue did not succeed himself. After all, he was the emperor of the empire. At this time, the prince was still in the new continent. If he had an accident, the empire would definitely be in turmoil. Letting him go to Tainan to command the enemy was already the biggest concession for the six ministers. Standing on the towering Fortress of Relanzha Castle, watching a few black smoke gradually fade away, Mao Jue couldn't help but shake his head in melancholy.

"Everyone says the emperor is good, but I only think that he is troubled like a prison!"

However, everything cannot escape the warning of Zhenxiang. Just as Mao Jue sighed and sighed, a few crisp shouts rang out in the yard under the fortress behind him.

"master!"

Putting down the telescope and looking back, it turned out that Serita was standing there in a pretty dress, carrying a big basket in her hand. Next to her, Chiyohime, who was wearing a big butterfly behind her, was drooling with a greedy look. The Ninth Princess Zhu Da, who was so busy that she couldn't see the shadows on weekdays, was wearing a professional outfit, with beautiful black hair, and a very elegant person pushed her black framed eyes upwards.

"Master, have we prepared fish and seafood, go to barbecue?"

"Come here!"

When the telescope was thrown away, it had no emperor's style. Mao Jue ran downwards just as he was so angry.

In fact, it’s quite a pleasure to be an emperor!

…………

Mao Jue can still go to barbecue heartlessly, but at this time, Manila City has reached its last moment. The garden-like city is almost completely destroyed by artillery fire. The straight streets are full of ruins, glass fragments are scattered everywhere, and corpses are even hidden among the rubble. In the hot weather, a large number of flies and insects are circling.

There is an old Chinese saying that if you use your own way, you will give it to him! You have to pay it back when you come out! Huang Degong experienced it to the fullest. When he attacked St. Philip Fort, he was now covered with banana leaves and burned dry firewood. A stream of choking blue smoke came to the fort with the wind of the land at night.

In the Western War, the greatest thing was the battle of defense of Stalingrad in the turning point of World War II. However, the Stalingrad Front, which faced the 270,000 German troops, also had as many as 160,000, and the two sides could not reach two to one. However, Huang Degong's troops were only one-sixth of the opponent.

It was not that the Manila defenders were not fighting resolutely enough, but that the strength was very different. All the strongholds on the periphery had been occupied! The last fortress on this land in the Ming Dynasty was also shaking in the thick smoke. On the top of the city, the eyes of the Ming Dynasty defenders were red with scarred eyes, and the iron-clad men still couldn't stop crying down, and the coughing sounds continued.

Now they know how uncomfortable the Spanish defenders in Manila were!

But even so, it's been three whole days! St. Philip's Castle still stands tall!

However, being able to endure this point is almost as limiting as a human being. His eyes were swollen like peaches, covering his mouth and nose with cloth stained with urine, but he still couldn't stop coughing. His originally beautiful face was covered with smoke and darkness. He forced himself to follow the enemy troops who were igniting the fire below, Gu Moyi couldn't help it and asked again in anticipation and despair.

"Military General! Reinforcements, cough cough..., when will the reinforcements arrive?"

Originally, the face that had been re-mained in the past two years was stained with dust traces left by the war. Even several wounds were so smoky that they were all melted with pus, and pus flowed downwards. However, Huang Degong's momentum seemed to be back to the time when he was wearing a sharp edge and stalking into the army of hundreds of thousands of thieves. He was carved with a knife and axe and looked down like a statue. Listening to Gu Moyi's question, his expression did not change slightly, and he still hummed indifferently.

"Reinforcements are coming soon! Persevere!"

"But..., but really... I can't hold on..."

Deficiency of oxygen cannot be overcome by training and will. It has really reached its limit. In the trembling voice, Gu Moyi also slowly fell down on the city wall. Listening to the flapping sound, Huang Degong finally couldn't help but turn his head slightly. However, in just one or two seconds, he still stared at the battlefield again.

In fact, the order to retreat was already reached by fast horses a month ago, and in fact, these overseas colonies were also abandonable pawns for the empire, just like the Commonwealth of the Empire of the Sun never set. More than half of the Puritans who arrived in North America in the Mayflower first, and more than half of them did not survive that winter. The initial thirteen colonies were also slaughtered by the Indians in the Mississippi and Tennessee River Basins again and again. The rest, like Spain, the Netherlands, France and other navigable powers, were common. The glory of the Western countries in later generations was also nurtured in this cruel blood that died one after another. Even if the Ming Dynasty abandoned Manila, it would be considered a common thing.

This is not Huang Degong's hometown. His hometown is like Mao Jue, in the snowy Liaodong.

But for some reason, Huang Degong still couldn't bear to abandon this hot and temporarily new land, even if it cost anything!

Maybe it was the old scholar who would rather accompany the Spanish to be buried with him than admit his identity as the Ming Dynasty again touched him!

The empire could decide to give up the colony, but the soldiers were responsible for defending the land! If they did not protect this land and the people living overseas, who would protect it?

Perhaps dying here and fighting on the battlefield is also the best destination for him, a veteran! The lack of oxygen also made his brain dazed. The French mercenaries and Milan mercenaries who were fanning the flames seemed to slowly dissipate in his pupils. The originally war-torn Fort St. Philip returned to a little calmer, and the setting sun shone the land golden.

I don’t know how many people’s blood was stained on my hands, but an extremely peaceful smile appeared on Huang Degong’s face. Maybe this is the kindness that people are about to die!

"Military General! Military General! The vassal ghost actually withdrew his troops! Retreat!"

Suddenly, the violent shaking suddenly made Huang Degong come to his senses. It was Gu Moyi who fell to the ground who was cheating on the corpse. Just like a lunatic, the girl shook his shoulder desperately and shouted excitedly.

"Military General! Military General! The vassal ghosts have really retreated! It must be my reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty! Military General!"

It turned out to be an illusion! For some reason, the mercenaries from all over the country who were besieging the city suddenly gave up their positions and retreated, and disappeared quickly and quickly into the ruins of Manila. Even though this scene was long-standing, Huang Degong, who was well-informed, couldn't help but be stunned.

"No wonder General Jun is so calm. It turns out that he is confident. Reinforcements are here! Manila is saved!"

But he didn't know what Huang Degong was thinking. After scenting his old face, the hot and bold female staff officer shouted excitedly at the empty city. With her shouting, the city of Manila, which had already become lifeless, finally regained some vitality. The exhausted and scarred soldiers lay on the head of Chengcheng City, cheering endlessly. This feeling of surviving the disaster was so exciting.

It is because of the love for life that people sacrifice their lives!

…………

This time it was not a repetition or a trick by the Westerners, but the damn reinforcements finally arrived!

Zheng He's morale, the overwhelming Eastern fleet, reappeared in the sea, and ships of all sizes shook their heads and tails like a large group of magic fish, and advanced forward with aura.

The fleet is divided into two groups, like a wolf pack, with flexible and excellent firepower, and is fiercely diamond-shaped at the forefront and edges. Among every dozen second-level battleships, there is a vinegar cluster surrounded by a first-level battleship of about 75 meters. These large and small warships form a single squadron of combat.

In the middle of the entire fleet, there are three Pangu-levels, which are completely imitated by the huge supply ship of the Ming Dynasty's super treasure ship as the core battle mothership.

Further back, there were huge, large and small small functional ships, transport ships, landing crafts, and a large fleet of more than 220 main fleets, and even large ships covered the sky and the sun. The huge fleet rushed straight from the north without restraint, standing on the mothership in the center, and for the first time, the commander of the Empire Fleet Pang Dahai was so energetic that he supported his body and armor like a fat-headed fish. Standing on the bridge, the telescope was straight towards the sea level and looked at him.

There was only this level of military pressure, and the oppressed Michelle had to turn around and prepare for the war with all his might.

Although I had known that the military strength of the East's maritime forces were increasing year by year, when I was facing it, the size of the huge fleet was still so shocking that I couldn't breathe. The Western warships that were fighting drove out of Manila Bay with the current, stood on the flagship of the flagship Rotterdam, and looked in front of me. Even the old fox Curt couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"The East is so terrifying! This fleet is less than half of the Spanish Empire at its peak!"
