Four hundred and seventy-five Ano's efforts
The battle between the two factions, which had been hostile to each other for decades, was not as passionate as imagined, and they even cautiously even started a war.
Before the war begins, we must make sufficient combat preparations and combat mobilization. The United Army placed its main force in Manila City and left two troops outside the city to support the city defense and intend to launch a defensive counterattack.
When the Allies saw this situation, considering their lack of engineering capabilities, they did not dare to approach them rashly, wanting to lure the enemy into battle, and then fight to the death in the wild, so as to maximize their number of advantages in order to win quickly.
Both sides were testing each other, and no one wanted to play cards first. The hatred between the two sides was so deep that when this matter came to an end, they calmed down on each other and did not rush to fight. Instead, they carefully observed the other party and tried to get the way to kill the other party with one blow.
Under heavy protection, Juan looked at the city of Manila from afar, and the old tribe also looked at the entire Allied army formation from the top of the city.
According to his experience, the Allied Army was very tightly arranged, and the number of people was above the number of people in his hands. If the reinforcements arrived now, the number of people would be similar, so he would have the confidence to go out of the city to fight.
Now the number of enemies is obviously much higher than that of him, and he does not think he can win in such a situation.
The more nervous the decision of fate, the older tribes became more calm. They had been waiting for decades and didn't care about this time. If they couldn't seize the opportunity to kill them in one fell swoop, it would be a problem for them here.
At this time, a confidant beside the old man pointed to a position in front of him.
"Big leader, look, are those iron barrels over there the cannons that the Spanish often use?"
"artillery?"
The old man from the tribe was surprised and looked over quickly. Although he was old, his eyes did not deteriorate much. He could see what he could see when he was young, but now he could still see it.
He has never seen artillery. As early as the first battle, the big iron barrel that could roar and fire brought him painful memories. Countless comrades around him died at the gunners, and his closest comrades were blown into several sections by artillery, and they could not even be buried.
Once this thing roars, although it is not good to deal with the city wall, it is still useful to deal with people. More importantly, the sound is very loud and scary, which can shock the enemy and boost your morale. There is no firearm here, and there is no firearm at all, but Juan has firearms, and it is still a cannon.
Things are a little bad now.
"They actually have artillery? Those hateful traitors!"
A confidant cursed the betrayers fiercely.
The old man from the tribe was very sober and stopped the curses of his confidants.
"It is useless to scold them now. If they have artillery, it is hard to say whether they have muskets. The firearm is powerful and loud. If it is hit, it will have great lethality. The only thing that can stop the firearm is rain. But the weather is very clear now. I guess it will not rain in a short time, and the situation is very unfavorable to us."
The words of the old tribe made the trustees around them fall into difficult thinking, and everyone's expression is ugly.
It is rare to have the advantage of the city, but the other party has firearms, which is really unfavorable.
"I don't know how many firearms they have at this time, but since they have them, I have to be careful of them. But I think the Spaniards will not trust them completely. Even if they give them firearms, they will not give them a lot. I think as long as we find ways to destroy the batch of firearms we can see, they may not have more firearms!"
A tribal leader suddenly spoke.
Another tribe leader retorted: "That's the truth, but who will destroy them? What method should we use to destroy them? We have no weapons with a longer range than bows and arrows, and bows and arrows cannot destroy artillery, that's iron!"
Everyone's faces got worse again.
At this time, the old man from the tribe spoke.
"It is not necessary to destroy the firearm. The firearm needs to be filled with gunpowder to exert its power. Gunpowder is most afraid of water. As long as we can make the gunpowder tide, the firearm will naturally be unable to be used. Now it does not rain in the sky, so it depends on people. We need the most heroic warriors to undertake this task."
Everyone looked at each other and keenly noticed the difficulties of this task and the high probability of sacrifice, and retreated a little.
The old man of the tribe was not surprised by everyone's actions, and he was waiting for someone to volunteer.
"I'll go! I'll do it! I'll lead my tribe to destroy the gunpowder and make their firearms useless! Big boss! Please let me go! I have enough confidence to destroy them!"
A trace of light flashed in the eyes of the old tribe, and then a worried face changed into a face.
"Ano, you have to know that firearms are very dangerous, and they will definitely be under their heavy protection. When the war begins, we can only do our best to send you to them. Then, you need to work hard to attack their firearm positions and break through the protection and destroy gunpowder. That would be very dangerous. Can you do it?"
Ano nodded very firmly.
"As long as you can send someone to escort us to them, I will lead people to attack with all my might! Even if you pay this life, you will destroy the gunpowder and create conditions for the army's attack! My only hope is that if I can still live after we win, I hope you can hand over Juan to me and let me kill him with my own hands!"
The old man of the tribe nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay! I promise you! Ano, you are a warrior! You are a real warrior!"
The old man of the tribe patted Ano on the shoulder and began to formulate tactics.
There are many dense jungles outside Manila City. These jungles have not yet been developed and are very lush. Although both sides choose to arrange troops in open areas, there are dense forests around the open areas. To be precise, this is not a good terrain for war, but Manila's location is very important, and both sides have to go to war here.
The old man meant to send someone to find a small path and ask Ano's troops to take a small path to attack the Juan army directly, attack from their flanks, and catch them off guard.
Then it depends on Ano's efforts to see if his impact is enough and whether it is enough to penetrate the defense, and rush to the position of the firearms troops located in the center to destroy the gunpowder.
They would send an elite force to hide Ano's tribe's elite troops in it, and this elite force escort Ano's elite troops to attack Juan's firearms troops, so that Ano had enough buffer period.
However, it is hard to say how long the elite troops can support them. If all the escorted troops are killed in battle, they can only rely on Ano himself.
