From the beginning of the battle to the present, more than 100 bodies have been left on the attacking line of the Spaniards, and there are also the same number of wounded people snarling on the ground. In less than ten minutes, the entire attacking army lost more than half, and the French and the wounded were only 40. However, the Spaniards still had the advantage of the number of people. There were only about 110 French soldiers who stood on the three floors of the City Hall, and they were facing 300 "violent" enemies.

With the help of the cover of walls, windows and door panels, French soldiers were still tilting ammunition towards the enemy in the lobby on the first floor. Half of the soldiers on the second and third floors had already put down their rifles. At the request of the sergeants, one of them lit a torch and the other held a mobilizer. With a command, dozens of flame-carried bottles flew out from the second floor, on the balcony or window on the third floor of the city hall building, under the illumination and graceful arcs were drawn.

Most of the burning bullets were accurately thrown on wooden barriers. When they encountered violent impact, the glass bottles broke instantly. The alcohol solution spread out and attached to the seats, sofas, clothes, ground, and all objects. The flames that originally jumped on the cloth strips also rushed over. They happily ignited all combustible objects, all wooden furniture, and the wool coats of Spanish soldiers.

A few seconds later, the entire wooden barrier ignited a raging fire, and the many Spanish soldiers who were still climbing on it became martyrs in the sea of ​​flames. The originally warm and comfortable wool coat became an accomplice of the enemy and could not withstand the temptation of the demonic flames. When they still wanted to fight to get out of the sea of ​​fire, they found that they were surrounded by fire, ignited and burned. All struggles were futile, and they only accelerated the speed of death and the pain of death.

The Spanish soldiers who were lucky enough to pass through temporary barriers followed the sound and turned their heads, but saw this terrifying and tragic scene. Before they could mourn the misfortune of their companions, a batch of burning bullets were dropped on the city hall building. Starting from the ground or the soles of their feet, the demon's flames quickly climbed up to the human limbs, heads, hair, eyebrows, and coats with the help of ignition materials such as alcohol solutions and wool fabrics, and were ignited. The entire body, including their soul, seemed to be burned and burned in the volcano of Hell.

The soldiers could not bear the pain and fell to the ground, rolling and howling, like wild beasts that were fatally injured. Many people also prayed for their companions or the Virgin to come for rescue, but none of the Spanish soldiers came forward or could come forward to rescue, because the third bottle of Burning-Bullets had been thrown out by the French, and all the soldiers who could still stand were avoiding the same tragedy in their own way, trying their best to avoid the recurrence of the same tragedy on themselves. Perhaps they could barely avoid the invasion of Burning-Bullets, but could not resist the volleyball bullets from the first floor hall. One by one, like the god of death, was knocked to the ground.

Father Busto fell to the ground, his saber had been discarded, and the heart-wrenching shouts and the sound of guns and bullets whistling by had nothing to do with him. His right hand kept drawing crosses in front of his chest, his left hand rubbed the cross of the rosary, and his mouth recited the psalm of the Virgin again and again: "My Mother, our mercy, our life, our sweetness, our hope. Eve's descendants, cry to you in this earthly world. In this valley of weeping, we sigh and cry to you. Our Lord Guard, please look back and see us. Once the exile is over, we can see your Son, Jesus blessed by all nations. Virgin Mary, you are kind, merciful, sweet. God, please pray for us so that we can receive the grace of Christ. Amen!"

The hall on the first floor of the city hall suddenly opened, and dozens of fully armed French soldiers rushed out. They used bullets and bayonets to surround the Spanish who were still struggling with death, or to help their enemies relieve their pain. On the entire front battlefield, most of the six hundred Spanish were either killed by bullets, buried in the fire, or fell to the ground to wait for assistance. Only the French left behind Father Busto, who was still chanting scriptures.

At this time, the priest looked at him without looking at him and turned a deaf ear. He slowly got up from the ground and continued to draw a cross in his chest. He still praised the Virgin Mary in his mouth. Then he cast a last look of infinite attachment to the Cathedral of Our Lady. Father Busto rushed to the burning sea of ​​fire without hesitation. In the surprised, shocked and respectful eyes of the French soldiers, the priest fulfilled his oath and died bravely on the battlefield.

"The united Spanish nation cannot be conquered!" Colonel Desai sighed infinitely, but he then added, "But internal strife and division will make the Spaniards lose their glory forever!"

A Spanish troops who detoured the flank and besieged the corridor between the City Hall and the Church of Our Lady were also defeated. They were ambushed by French soldiers on the front of the corridor barrier, as well as the balcony of the two buildings, and the dense cross firepower caused heavy losses to the attacking side. Before the killer burned and popped up, after learning that the battlefield of the City Hall had suffered a crushing defeat, the Spanish commander decisively ordered a retreat, leaving only dozens of corpses.

After more than twenty minutes of fierce fighting, only 300 people were able to return to their camps, and many soldiers were still gunshot wounds or burned. With the complete failure of the second attack and the death of Father Busto, no one was interested in fighting, both officers and soldiers. The Interim Military Commission unanimously decided to hold peace talks with the French, put down their weapons, and surrender with decent surrender.

At this time, it was already bright, and the tricolor flag raised by the French in the city hall and the Cathedral of Our Lady could be seen from a distance from more than 10 kilometers away. Many Zaragoza citizens and soldiers had spontaneously gave up their resistance, discarding their weapons and returning home together; the officers had no intention of fighting and scattering; only priests, nuns and other clergy remained in place to pray. The continuous gunfire from the Cathedral of Our Lady and the City Hall, as well as the French flags raised at the same time, had clearly told everyone that this once extremely brave city was about to fall.

Two hours later, at 10:00 a.m., in the cleaned central clearing, General Palafos, who had just been released, led all the senior officials of the Military Commission to hand over the keys of the city gate to the French Supreme Commander, Marshal Rana, to the second Battle of Zaragoza, and the final victory of France.

In real history, the second Zaragoza offensive and defensive battle lasted from December 20, 1808 to February 20, 1809 to announce surrender for two months. During this period, the soldiers and civilians of Zaragoza paid the price of more than 60,000 casualties, one quarter of which were soldiers, and the rest were civilians. The last captured guards were only about 10,000. The French also killed more than 10,000.

Now, due to the desperate incitement of a small butterfly, history has deviated a little. On February 2, 1809, Zaragoza fell, 18 days earlier than the original. The captured Zaragoza guards were as many as 26,000, two and a half times higher than the original. As for the casualties of the French army, only less than 5,000 people.

During the process of accepting the surrender of Marshal Rana, Colonel Desay, the biggest contributor of this battle, suddenly left the field early. His adjutant, Lieutenant Charles, gave the reason that he was too tired after a long battle and felt uncomfortable. The real situation was that he was a new generation of idols in the minds of French soldiers, who were thinking about the treasures that were unexpectedly discovered in the Cathedral of Our Lady.

While Candiola successfully found another secret passage entrance in the basement below the statue of the Virgin, he was surprised to find the treasures left by the ancient Aragon king, hundreds of thousands of gold and silver coins, as well as countless gems and precious objects, which were piled up in the closed room on one side of the secret passage. After learning the news, Lieutenant Kerle, who had just defeated the enemy's invasion, immediately reported to Colonel Desai, who attracted all the officers to discuss. The participants unanimously agreed that all the property belonged to the Desai regiment.
