Following the orders of Qin Duke Xiao Wu,

The soldiers and soldiers in the towns of Mingcheng began to act.

Uncle and nephew Liu Yu immediately led more than 500 people from Huben Town to set out to Weigan City more than 100 miles away.

Xiao Wu led the Navy and the Black Flag Gang and other pirates of all sizes to attack Lava City.

early morning,

With the sound of drumbeats,

The Ming generals and many pirate leaders who were drunk last night were awakened, and everyone was naturally cursing and being helped up by their own soldiers.

Looking at the messy Mingcheng and a group of mobs, Liu Yu couldn't help but shake his head.

With these people, they could occupy the city of Rava and Vigan, and the northern part of Luzon.

You can even go south to threaten the city of Manila where Flangjimen are stationed.

At this time, the Ming court was like a tiger skin, attracting countless soldiers and pirates to work hard for it.

It's okay to fight the wind, if you suffer a crushing defeat,

Thank you if you can pat your butt and leave.

If they have a common goal and are beneficial to them, they will naturally stand on the side of the Ming court and serve the Ming court.

But if you suffer a defeat or temptation, you will be devilish if you don’t rebel.

Even if it does not rebel, its looting will lead to success.

But at this moment, Liu Yu only had the troops in the town of Hu Ben, but only more than 500 people could not affect the overall situation at all.

I had to go with the flow and watch while walking.

Compared with the friendly troops on one side, the soldiers in Huben Town are relatively self-disciplined, which is also related to the strict military discipline of Liu Quan's uncle and nephew.

In just a quarter of an hour, more than 500 soldiers were ready to go.

Seeing that the troops of the Five Associations of Huben Town had already gathered, Liu Quan nodded

After saying goodbye to Xiao Wu and the Ming King, he hurriedly rushed to the north.

Mingcheng is more than 100 miles away from Weiweigan City.

The distance of more than 100 miles is not long or short.

For the Ming army who had just landed on Luzon Island,

The Franji people stationed in Vigan City are undoubtedly the ones who cannot sleep or eat.

It was also under the threat of the Spanish in Weigan City that the Ming army could not afford to eat and sleep and build Ming City at all costs.

This makes the famous city's cannon-prick city.

It was also because of this that the Ming army relied on Mingcheng to repel the coalition forces of Shengfan and Folang Jiren.

But when the Ming army defeated the 300 Spanish field army led by Gil'an.

Weigan, the closest to Mingcheng, naturally became a nightmare for the Spanish.

Fearing that the Ming army would launch a large-scale attack on Weigan, the Spanish colonial army stationed in Weigan fled in panic and fled to the city of Lava further north.

However, what the Spaniards in Luzon did not expect was.

The Ming court did not choose to attack Weigan, but on the contrary, they chose to march south into Manila.

This made Weigan an isolated city.

The local Yiluo people took advantage of the opportunity to seize the city of Vigan.

The Ming court also acquiesced to this result at the cost of paying sanctions to the Ming court and paying taxes.

However, this time the Ming army chose to go back on their word.

Preparing to occupy this important harbor town of Vigan.

Since Huben Town is a fully firearmed force.

It's barely considered a light infantryman.

Therefore, the speed of the marching is not slow.

As for the artillery troops, their speed is not slow under the traction of the artillery truck.

With simple animal power, he actually led the nine-pound Saiko gun through the rugged road in Luzon under the guidance of four-wheeled cannon trucks.

This shocked Liu Yu.

For China in the 16th and 7th century, artillery traction was undoubtedly a big problem.

During the battle with the Qing army in the late Ming Dynasty.

The Ming army with advanced firearms was often unable to resist the cavalry's offensive.

To a large extent, it was because the artillery possessed by the Ming army was too heavy.

The war horses were insufficient and could not be pulled at all, which led to the Ming army having to place artillery on the top of the city to bombard the Eight Banners Army.

The artillery that the Ming army could drag during field battles with the Qing army were all small-caliber artillery, and they did not have much lethality at all. For the Eight Banners who were wearing chain mail to charge at high speed, the damage was minimal.

After the Qing army entered the pass, they vowed to resist to the death of the Han armed forces such as Jiangnan.

The Qing army was often able to play the unique advantages of the fishing and hunting nation.

Compared with the Ming army's animal husbandry power, it is seriously insufficient.

The Qing army, which owns the northern world, most lacks animal husbandry power.

Those heavy artillery that could not be dragged because the artillery itself was too heavy could only be used as city guard cannons in the hands of the Ming army.

But in the hands of the Qing army, it became a powerful weapon for attack.

For example, a red-clothed cannon weighing two thousand pounds should be a twelve-pound long cannon according to Western standards.

The Ming army in Jiangnan could only be used to defend the city, but the Qing army used a lot of animal husbandry to drag it to the city.

Although it may take a month or two to drag a heavy cannon like the red cannon using animal husbandry.

But as long as you drag it under the city wall, you can collapse the city in just a few breaths.

Therefore, when the Qing army went south to fight, whether it was attacking Jiangnan, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places, whenever it encountered resistance, it would usually be dispatched to send newly surrendered Green Camp troops to launch a large-scale attack to consume the morale and manpower of the Ming army defending the city.

Wait for the heavy artillery to drag, wait for the red-clothed cannons and other siege cannons to be dragged to the front line.

The Eight Banners will attack.

Although the Qing army went south to fight, the results of the battle were great, the Eight Banners troops were not much damaged.

At this time, the Ming army had already imitated the four-wheeled cannon truck of the Folang Jiren.

With these heavy artillery vehicles imitating the Folang Jiman, the Ming army could quickly drag various medium and heavy artillery to the front line.

This is very powerful for the hilly Jiangnan area.

It was also one of the important achievements of the Ming army who went south to Luzon and went to Luzon.

Other light-mounted soldiers are different.

Liu Yu, Liu Quan and several assistant chiefs rode on horseback.

All the horses were war horses snatched from Shengfan.

These Southeast Asian horses are far less tall than those of the northern nomad horses.

In terms of endurance, it is not as good as the Mongolian horses and other horse breeds in the north.

This made Liu Yu's idea of ​​forming a cavalry silence.

In fact, in the Luzon Shengfan army, the role of horses was limited to transporting baggage and serving as transportation tools for generals.

During the Battle of Mingcheng, Liu Yu did not see Shengfan using horses to fight cavalry.

"It seems that in the future, facing the Eight Banners cavalry, you can only rely on firearms." Liu Yu thought on the thin horse.

"Yu'er, what do you think of yesterday's reward?" Liu Quan rode his horse and came to the front.

"It's just a joke, and it's like a child's play to be a kid," Liu Yu shook his head.

Sneer at the pirate leaders who were conferred Bobaihou.

"Hehe." Liu Quan smiled.

"But King Ming has also given you the title of Zhongyong Marquis and the official commander." Liu Quandao.

"What's the use? There are many generals present who are granted marquis, and there are not less than ten commanders." Liu Yu curled his lips and said disapprovingly.

Liu Quan did not say anything else, but pointed the horse whip straight at the soldiers passing by.

Liu Yu's expression was shocked,

He seemed to remember something,

For many Ming army generals, commanders are nothing, but different to Liu Yu.

He and his uncle formed Huben Town.

The Ming King granted Liu Yu the title of commander, so Liu Yu could rule Hu Ben Town with a legitimate reputation.
