Chapter 48 Weigan City

I don't agree with Liu Yu.

Looking at the empty Weigan City Wall, Liu Yu naturally left.

During the voyage, shipwrecks often occur due to ship technical limitations.

From Europe to Luzon, the journey was exhausted. Not to mention shipwrecks, the diseases encountered along the way were enough to cost half a boat.

Therefore, during a large voyage, a ship often sets off from Europe, and when they arrive at their destination, they often lose five or six out of ten due to illness, shipwrecks, etc.

In addition, Luzon is not a place rich in silver and has a vast territory like America, so there are not many Spanish people who really want to come to Luzon.

Liu Yu estimated that the entire Luzon Spaniards were only more than one or two thousand at best, and most of them lived in Manila.

As for Vigan, it would be thankful that the Spanish colonial army guarding the city would have a hundred.

If you can fight pirates or something, you will be more than enough to rely on shore firecrackers.

But what a joke would be if you meet the Ming army who had just defeated the 300 Spanish field army and the 2,000-year-old French army?

Europeans who can sail to this point will never fear death, but they will never be stupid.

Just relying on these hundred people and the free-spirited Yiluo people can defend Weigan, and even fools don’t believe it.

If you don't run away, are you waiting to die?

"After the Folangji people fled from Weigan, the local Chloe tribe sent people to Mingcheng to pay tribute to our Ming court and pay taxes to gain control of Weigancheng." Liu Quan said slowly.

"But today, we have to betray our faith and conquer Weigan, alas." For these soldiers who have been fighting for many years, the most important word is righteous.

Although it was nothing to lose trust in the Tufan barbarians, it still made Liu Quan feel indescribable.

But Liu Yu didn't feel this way, looking at the Weigan City Wall in front of him,

He looked at a assistant chief on the side and asked:

"Have the Artillery Association arrived?"

The chief of the association said respectfully: "Report to the commander, the artillery carriages belonging to the artillery association are on the road and can arrive in about three hours."

"good."

More than ten artillery under the Huben Town Artillery Association were all pulled by artillery vehicles. The greatest power was the six nine-pound scoundrel cannons seized to the Folang Jiren.

Since capturing these Folang Jimen last time, Liu Yu has incorporated them into his own army.

These Folang robots were settled and did not escape. They helped Ming army craftsmen successfully imitate various parts of the cannon truck.

In this regard, Liu Yu also gave these Folang Ji people great freedom.

"Order the army to advance for a mile, set up formations, and wait for the artillery to come." Liu Yu ordered.

As a unit that popularized firearms in front, Liu Yu naturally would not foolishly send soldiers to attack the city. For the Folang Ji people, it could not afford casualties, and the same was true for the Ming army.

Looking at the Western-style city wall of Vigana, Liu Yu wanted to try the actual combat effect of the newly formed artillery.

After all, in the future, whether it is Huben Town or the new Ming army built on the model based on Huben Town, they will rely on firearms.

The use of artillery to bombard Weigan City can also detect the actual combat power of the Ming army's artillery at this time.

Liu Yu had a good idea, but when the army had just reached one and a half miles to Weigan, Weigan City was opened.

Liu Yu's face turned pale.

My artillery hasn't arrived yet,

When Weigan City rebelled, it would open the city gate by itself.

The Yiluo people in Weigan City are also unstoppable.

The reason why Folang Jiren ran away was because he was afraid that the Ming army would attack.

Now it's good, Ming Jun is really here.

The old and young people in Weigan City had no other choice but to scold Ming people for being distrustful.

In addition to opening the city to surrender, can we resist?

Not to mention that before the Florian escaped, all the cannons that could be taken away, the heavy cannons that could not be taken away were also destroyed by the Florian.

With hundreds of soldiers holding big swords, the Yiluoke tribes with the Teng Shield fought to the death with the Ming army.

Elder Yiluoke in the city is not yet confused.

So the city gate was opened early and surrendered.

In the city of Weigan, the Yiluoke officials left the city one after another and knelt on the ground to greet the Ming army in fear and fear.

These local Yiluo people had dealt with the Ming people, and they also knew that the Ming people were much more kind than the Tagalu people.

Compared to the greed of the Spanish, the Ming people were more restrained and etiquette.

So after Kaicheng surrendered, although these Iroks were worried, they were not afraid in their hearts.

Looking at the Yiluoke officials kneeling on the ground and being terrified, Liu Yu was amused and crying.

In fact, he should also know that this is why the battle in Weigan City is.

Even the Spaniards ran away, how could these Iroks really defend Weigan City?

Seeing the Iroks surrender,

Liu Quan was not vague and directly ordered to enter the city.

A large number of Ming troops stepped into Weigan City in two rows.

Hundreds of Irok soldiers guarding Vigan were disarmed one after another,

Looking at the Yiluoke soldiers kneeling on the ground, and the vine armor and vine shields that were randomly discarded by the Ming army, Liu Quan shook his head and said contemptuously:

"These Irok people have too poor military skills, which are worse than ordinary refugee armed forces."

Hearing Liu Quan's words, an Irok official who could understand Chinese could only smile bitterly.

Actually, they are not blamed.

Even in the 20th century hundreds of years later, when facing the Japanese attack on Southeast Asia, the local natives could only fight with the Japanese army with simple weapons.

As a colony, what colonists fear most is not the invasion of external forces, but the resistance of local tribes.

Therefore, even if the number of Spanish people stationed in Weigan City is insufficient, they dare not easily arm the Iroks.

When the Spaniards were holding advanced flintlocks and equipped with luxurious plate armor,

However, the local soldiers could only hold vine shields and short bows and wore thin vine armor.

I made you work hard, but I didn't dare to over-arm you, for fear that you would shoot the big men in the colony with your weapons.

His mentality is very similar to the Eight Banners and Green Camp of the Qing Dynasty in the same period.

Ming soldiers quickly took over the defense of Weigan City.

A large number of Ming soldiers stood on the wall of Weigan City.

Looking at the solid Weigan city walls and the protruding battlements, Liu Quan took a breath.

This is much better than Mingcheng.

Compared with the city of Jaquessa at the same time, Vigan, who is also in Western style, is not at all inferior. If the Spaniards really defended Vigan City, I am afraid that the Ming army would not be able to take Vigan down even if they died.

However, at this time, Weigan City also became the most powerful fortress of the Ming army.

On the city wall, various artillery were already taken away by the Spanish, and the Ming army had to wait for the arrival of artillery soldiers.

After Liu Yu entered the city, he did not climb to the top of the city.

Instead, he took a few personal soldiers and rode straight to the harbor.

I don’t know how much it is to get to the Mingcheng in Viganbi.

Liu Yu ran away from his horse, which was so shocked that the Yiluo people beside him screamed.

Finally, I saw the dock.

The bright sails cast bright sunshine, which surprised Liu Yu.

In the harbor, dozens of ships of all sizes were docked here, which shocked several of the personal soldiers.

"It is worthy of being a harbor town. Even if the Spaniards have evacuated, there are still so many ships gathered here." When Liu Yu stepped onto the ashore defense fort, he looked over and looked at him.

The entire Weigan City is full of sight.

The heavy artillery on the fort had been damaged by the Spanish who had abandoned the city and fled. At this moment, there was only a pile of huge piles of scrap copper and iron piled up on the cannon position.

Merchant ships docked on the dock, and there were even some three-masted large sailboats.

It seems that due to the Spanish's hastily left, many merchant ships sailing since then have not felt guilty, or that the city of Vigan is still in operation.
