Chapter 287 Muzzle Collection

Lieutenant Colonel Monterey did not fully adopt Governor Mairotin's suggestion, but ordered the sailors to drive seven warships into the Pashi River, anchored outside Manila City, in an attempt to rely on the heavy artillery of Manila City to protect his warships. These warships were all his treasures and gave them to the Qing people. He was really heartbroken.[.]

After hearing this, Governor Mairoting was so angry that he cursed. He also knew that he could drive the warship to the Bashi River. Manila City was high and thick, and there were many artillery. The Qing people came from afar. Even if they had been besieged for three months, they had not yet completed the attack. If they seized seven intact warships, they would most likely retreat. If there was no benefit, how could they stop easily from coming from afar? They would definitely attack Manila City.

After walking around the spacious room for a few boredom, Mairoting forcedly suppressed the anger in his heart. This statement could not be made clear, otherwise he would not be able to escape the infamy. Moreover, Manila now must rely on the two thousand soldiers from Monterey to defend the city. It cannot be done too much. I hope God bless Manila.

The next morning, Liu Zhisheng and Lin Wei led the Nanyang Fleet to the Port of Manila. The port of Manila is only one kilometer away from the Manila Royal City. From the telescope, you can clearly see the black holes set up on the city wall. It is obvious that the caliber of heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 30 pounds.

There were only sixteen warships heading south, and they also had to fight against the Garoba in the Netherlands. Liu Zhisheng did not dare to venture into the range of artillery. He could not afford to lose money. He immediately ordered the naval warships to stop far beyond the range of artillery, and ordered Zheng Qingyuan to take the naval soldiers who grew up in Manila to go around the south to change a small row to go ashore, conduct propaganda, spy on intelligence, and collect small boats.

The powerful Spanish Far East fleet surrendered in Penghu. The news that the 14th Prince of the Qing Dynasty sent a fleet to Manila to avenge the Han people quickly spread throughout the Han people's gathering place outside the city - the stream. The entire stream immediately became boiling. All the oppressed Han people immediately ran around and told each other, cheers resounded throughout the clouds. In order to prevent the artillery fire, everyone immediately began to divert.

Information about the Spaniards was sent to Liu Zhisheng and Lin Wei. When they learned that the seven warships had all entered the Bashi River, they both felt relieved and immediately ordered the fleet to go around the south, ordering 6,000 Green Camp soldiers and 2,000 musket soldiers to land on small steps, and lifting the artillery from the two warships to the ashore, preparing to attack the city by land.

Hearing a huge cheer out loud outside the city, Governor Mairoting knew that the Qing fleet had arrived, so he immediately ordered to strengthen his vigilance, but he secretly complained in his heart, why did he forget to move those physiognomy into the city or simply kill them? With the support of local physiognomy, the Qing fleet could fight a protracted war.

Accompanied by several officers, Governor Mairoting climbed the city wall and prepared to inspire morale. Seeing him coming, Lieutenant Colonel Monterey quickly came up and said with a ugly expression: "Governor General, Lieutenant Pippel's information is wrong. More than ten ships of the Qing fleet were troop transporters."

The troop transport ship? When Mairoting heard this, his face immediately changed. He grabbed the telescope and looked in the direction Monterey pointed. But when he saw a group of soldiers in sharp clothes and armor landing continuously from the small boat, and there was also a cannon hanging from the boat. After a rough look, his heart tightened. There were at least tens of thousands of people.

It seems that the Qing people came just for Manila City. The Dutch did not come, but the Qing people came first. Thinking of the massacre of physiological people in Manila several times, he couldn't help feeling cold.

Lieutenant Colonel Monterey said worriedly: "If the Qing people dared to carry troops on such a large scale, the Far East Fleet was probably destroyed."

Mairoting turned his head and stared at Monterey fiercely. This pig trick was deliberately damaging morale. He hurriedly said in a firm tone: "It is impossible, and it will never be that the Spanish Far East Fleet is an invincible existence in the Far East."

Monterey sighed secretly, there are too many unpredictable things on the ocean. The Spanish Invincible Fleet was also an invincible existence in Europe, but it was not that they were defeated by England when they encountered a storm. There were too many examples of weak defeating the strong in naval battles. No matter how powerful a fleet is, it cannot withstand the destruction of the storm.

"Report to the Governor General, Lieutenant Colonel Monterey, a physiological soldier below asked for his visit." A soldier hurried over to report the report.

Mairoting and Monterey hurriedly looked towards the city gate. Sure enough, a soldier wearing a straight blue military uniform and holding a red-bottomed golden dragon flag stood under the city gate.

After hesitating for a moment, Mairoting ordered: "Hold him up."

Zhang Tiansheng was a Han Chinese who grew up in Manila since childhood. As soon as he was hung up to the city, he sorted out his military uniform and then walked to Mairoting and Monterey in a standard military posture. After being introduced, he saluted the two of them a standard military salute and said in fluent Spanish: "Dear Governor, Lieutenant Colonel Monterey, I am ordered by Prince Xun, the 14th Prince of the Qing Dynasty, to order all Spanish officers and soldiers in Manila to surrender unconditionally."

Unconditional surrender? Mairoting was immediately furious. Could it be that the 14th Prince of the Qing Dynasty was an idiot? Just as he was about to wave his hand and order someone to pull the person who was sent to death, Monterey asked: "You have met the Spanish Far East Fleet?"

"In the battle of Penghu, Taiwan, the Spanish Far East Fleet was defeated and surrendered unconditionally," Zhang Tiansheng replied calmly.

Mairoting and Monterey could hardly believe their ears. If they were to encounter a storm, they could be defeated and surrendered? Just relying on these auxiliary ships of the Qing Dynasty? Monterey grabbed Zhang Tiansheng in anger and roared: "You are lying." Zhang Tiansheng didn't argue, but just stared at him coldly.

Mairoting immediately calmed down and in a deep voice told the soldiers around him to disperse, then whispered: "Let him go and let him say it."

Zhang Tiansheng was so relaxed that he sorted out his military uniform, and then said arrogantly: "In the battle of Penghu, two Spanish fleets were sunk and six were seriously injured. At the end of his life, the fleet commander Angel and deputy commander Carlos led all warships to surrender unconditionally, and more than 9,000 people were captured. In addition, three hours later, the Qing navy will attack the city, and I will wait for your reply in the city."

Seeing Zhang Tiansheng full of confidence, Mairoting and Monterey couldn't help but look at each other. This person could say the name of Angel and Carlos. The defeat of the Far East Fleet was no longer questionable, but it seemed unlikely that the whole person would surrender.

"Arrogant" Mai Ruoting waved his hand and ordered: "Boe him down." Then he said hatefully: "Siege is not as good as naval battles. I want to see how they attack the city?"

The south gate of the Manila royal city.

For the west gate, the defense of the south gate was much worse, and there were only more than ten artillery pieces on the city wall. The soldiers who came ashore began to gather at the south gate one after another and then began to advance.

With 1,500 yards, the cannons on the Manila city walls began to roar. Lin Wei, who was responsible for siege, heard the sound of cannons and thought to himself that there were another group of new recruits, but a scream immediately came from his ears.

Because the distance was still far, all the soldiers were still in line and did not arouse their vigilance when they heard the sound of cannons. After the loud bang, they saw thirty-pound shells rolling all over the ground, and the three rows were tragically penetrated by the shells, crossing across and obliquely.

Zhao Can, a new recruit from Shandong, stopped habitually when he heard the roar of cannons, looked up, and found that the bullet point was far away from them. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was about to take a step, but he felt a black thing flashing past his eyes, and then he heard a few screams. When he turned his head, he felt that his stomach was overturned. Three comrades in the three rows in front of him, one of them had no head, the other two had their chests and their abdomen were smashed into blood. He looked at the three corpses and immediately squatted to the side and vomited loudly.

The entire team immediately exploded, and many people were in horror to find places to hide, but the area within two kilometers of the royal city had long been cleared by the Spaniards, becoming an empty no-man's area, where could there be a hiding place? So many people ran back desperately, and the scene was in chaos.

Land is not as good as sea. When naval battles, shells fall into the sea if they fail to hit the target. On land, shells will bounce and roll if they fail to hit the target, and their lethality cannot be ignored.

Lin Wei also understood when he saw this situation. The range of artillery at sea and on land was different. Seeing soldiers like sheep, he was furious. Such soldiers were destined to be able to fight with the wind. Thinking of the situation where the president Yinzhen fought in Penghu, he immediately ordered: "All artillery, free artillery bombardment on the spot, use flowering bullets to knock down the cannon position first." Then he ordered: "Rectify the military flag and blow the assembly trumpet."

The loud assembly horn sounded. When the naval soldiers who were originally panicked and scattered stopped hesitantly when they heard the horn sound, they looked at them with a firm look. But when they saw the captain Lin Weijun standing tall under the flying naval golden dragon, a group of deputy brigades, squadron leaders, and squadron leaders stood behind him, looking at them firmly.

This scene was so familiar. All the soldiers immediately thought of the naval battle in Penghu, and the dean who was always standing at the head of the ship. The situation was so similar. Many soldiers suddenly felt their blood rolling, their eyes were hot, and they immediately accelerated toward the military flag. The new soldiers on the battlefield had a great blind obedience. When they saw this situation, almost all the naval soldiers rushed towards the military flag at an extremely fast speed. The commands of each detachment and squadron immediately rang out, and the sounds of continuous counting were quickly echoed on the battlefield.

When the green camp soldiers saw this situation, they forgot to run away. They stared blankly at the group of navals that were incompatible with them. These navals were crazy and gathered in the enemy's muzzle.

The Green Camp in Guangdong has not much money, but was not convinced by the navy. When he saw this, he was so angry that he pulled off his official hat and shouted: "I'll raise a big banner for me, and I'll whistle and gather him together, but I'm not as good as a group of new recruits."
