Chapter 953 Landing in the Gulf

In the bay, the Spanish warship was still anchored, monitoring the Xincheng Basilica in the distance.

Everyone felt that the Xiyi brigade would arrive soon, so they stepped up the construction of the mountain city day and night.

On the fifth day, just as the genius was dawn, a man came and shouted outside the tent: "City Lord! City Lord!"

After a while, the curtain was raised, revealing Zhang Yida's somewhat tired face.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yida asked sleepily.

"A ship is coming again on the sea!" the visitor said anxiously.

Zhang Yida heard the words, and his sleepy face was swept away, "The Spaniards are here?"

"It should be them!" The visitor nodded.

"Quick, let everyone move to the mountain." Zhang Yida returned to the tent and took a cotton jacket and walked quickly up the mountain.

I hurried to the mountain and saw a deep trench outside the camp, and then a wooden fence. After entering the wooden fence, I used the mountain and stones to build a round earth wall. The top of the mountain was flattened and many tents were built.

Time is urgent, so Ruan Jin can only use materials locally, and the materials from the entire mountain city are obtained from the top of the mountain.

He first asked someone to cut off all the trees on the top of the mountain, then surrounded the mountain, set a circle of wooden stakes, and formed a circle of five or six miles. Then he let someone eliminate the soil on the top of the mountain, burn the rocks with fire, and then poured them with water to make the stones explode, pour the stones and soil behind the wooden stakes, and build a city wall.

When Zhang Yida saw Ruan Jin, he walked over and said in a deep voice: "The Spaniard is here!"

Ruan Jin was staring at the bay in the distance, and could vaguely see four more boats coming, plus the original ship, they were five large ships.

"It is estimated that there are nearly a thousand Westerners. If I can give me three hundred elite soldiers, I will definitely be able to defeat them. Unfortunately, our equipment is too poor." Ruan Jin's face was heavy.

Zhang Yida heard the words and couldn't help but worry, "Can this mountain city block the Western barbarians?"

Ruan Jin glanced at Zhang Yida and said coldly: "I don't know how long it can be blocked, but I'll surely break his teeth."

As a general who traversed the Central Plains and led tens of thousands of troops to fight, he was exiled thousands of miles away and was forced into this field by the Western ugly barbarians. Ruan Jin felt a little indignant.

At this time, all the people who received the news hurriedly entered the mountain city with their baggage.

The arrival of the Spanish warships made the people nervous. The men picked up weapons and prepared for defense, while the women and the elderly were responsible for cooking, transporting supplies to guard the city, and piled stones by the wall.

There are only five or six hundred people who can use it, and only fifty or sixty muskets can be used. The remaining weapons can only be made of knives, bows, arrows, and even obsidian weapons.

At dawn, the situation of the Spanish fleet in the bay was clearly visible.

Looking from the top of the mountain to the distance, you can see clearly that there were three Galen merchant ships and two warships.

With such strength, it can be said that killing chickens with a magnificent sword against an indigenous tribe of 3,000 people.

The Aztec Empire, which had a population of tens of millions, did not dispatch so many troops.

Early in the morning, five Spanish boats, put down their boats, and Spanish soldiers began to take small boats and land in the bay.

Ruan Jin gritted his teeth and said, "If there were cavalry, I could wipe them out in one go."

The side gun windows of two Spanish warships in the bay were opened, and the cannons could cover the beach. Ruan Jin could only stand on the hill and watch the Spanish land.

After working hard for more than an hour, the Spanish boats went back and forth, and finally nearly a thousand soldiers were transported to the beach.

Spanish commander Count Sofitel stepped onto the bay, first someone who had someone planted a Spanish flag on the ground, dug a hole to load a stone tablet, then pulled out the commanding sword, and announced to everyone that Spain first discovered and arrived at the Bay of Vancouver, which became Spanish territory since then.

The Spanish completely ignored the Han people in the distance, and did not care about the indigenous people who lived here for thousands of years. They held a ceremony in front of Zhang Yida, Ruan Jin and others.

"What are they doing?" Zhang Huangyan couldn't help asking.

Zhang Yida has seen many times, "Planting flags and erecting monuments, and consciousness is to announce that the land here belongs to them."

Ruan Jin glared and said, "They said theirs are theirs? This is too domineering!"

Zhang Huangyan thought more, "The Western barbarians are barbaric and rude, and greed becomes a person, and they will become a threat to the Ming Dynasty in the future."

When Zhang Huangyan was in Dongzhou, he saw the behavior of the Western barbarians. A few years later, he felt that the Western barbarians would have an impact and threat to the entire Chinese civilization. He immediately gave up his grudges from Zhao Ming and wrote a "Huang Yan Shu" with thousands of words, specifically reminding the Ming Dynasty that the harm of the Western barbarians shocked the Ming Dynasty and the people and triggered a war that lasted for half a century.

At this time, after the Spanish held the landing ceremony, a thousand soldiers lined up on the plains amid the whistles and military orders.

After the Spanish field artillery was loaded, it opened fire directly, and solid shells hit the mountain dust, and immediately the broken wood splashed and dust flew.

When artillery bombarded, the Spanish soldiers formed an army formation and rushed towards the mountain city with murderous steps.

The men, women, young and old in the Xincheng Basilica of Shantou hid behind the earthen walls, avoiding the Spaniards' shelling.

The mountain city was about six or seven miles away from the coast. The warships anchored in the bay could not bombard the mountain city. The Spanish field artillery was pushed to the foot of the mountain to bombard the mountain city, but the shells were only three pounds and could not cause harm to everyone behind the city wall.

At this time, Ruan Jin poked out half of his body, took out a thousand-mile mirror and observed the Spanish soldiers pressing up. They saw them wearing iron plate armor, helmets, and holding muskets in their hands, and frowned slightly.

The equipment of the Spanish soldiers was so good. They were wearing whole iron plates, and their bows and arrows could not break the defense at all. The swords and spears were difficult to cause damage. They were almost immune to the attacks of most cold weapons. No wonder the natives in the East China who could conquer and use obsidian as weapons.

They have the best defense of this era and the strongest attack muskets of this era, and the same number of people is almost invincible.

This is also their confidence in colonizing the world.

"Murderer, get close to thirty steps and then shoot. If you don't break the armor when you are far away, aim at it, and there is not much gunpowder! Others, try to smash it with stones, attack with blunt weapons and axes. The archer will shoot again when you see it, and don't show your head easily." Ruan Jin put down the Qianli Mile Mile and gave a deep command.

At this time, the Spaniards climbed along the hillside, getting closer and closer to the city wall, and had already reached the trench.

Spanish soldiers knelt on one knee and fired guns at the hilltop, killing wood chips. Seeing that no one showed up, they tried to cross the trench.

Although the Spanish armor was good, it was very bulky. Many people fell down the trench and finally climbed up, but they heard Ruan Jin roar on the mountain, "Open the fire!"
