When the first ray of morning light appeared from the sky to the east, there was a shrill sound of swan roars in the Tang army formation.

When the morning light was first revealed, the world was still misty, and the Tang army's attack had already begun.

The main direction of the Tang army's attack was the city wall on the right side of the west gate of Manila.

60 heavy steel dragon cannons with silver gray glow were slowly pushed one thousand meters outside the west gate of Manila by Tang army gunners.

Subsequently, 60 heavy dragon guns were all concentrated in the right side of the west gate of Manila. Next, the Tang army gunners began to fix the gun frame, adjust the firing angle, load gunpowder and shells, and soon prepared for the battle.

Looking at the tall and wide city of Manila in front of him, Li Xiao, who was marching behind him, suddenly remembered the modern history of Manila, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart.

In 1571, the Spanish colonist Legesby landed from Manila, invaded and occupied the Philippines, and then built castles and forts from the center of Manila to the south bank of the Pashi River. Since then, the former capital of the Luzon State, this place known as Little Luzon, has become the capital of the Spanish colonial ruling authorities.

In real history, it was not until 1898 that the Americans entered Manila that completely replaced Spain's rule over the Philippines, and then conquered the nearby Negro people, incorporated the surrounding towns and regions into Manila, gradually expanding Manila, and formally established it as the contemporary Philippine capital city of Manila.

Now, in this time and space that I have traveled through, this future Philippine capital has become a prey that cannot be escaped in my palm. This feeling is very wonderful.

Perhaps, from now on, this Far East city, known as the Pearl of the Orient in modern society, will forever become the eternal inherent territory of the Chinese Empire.

When the Tang army gunners pushed the huge cannons and stopped a thousand meters away from the city wall, the Spanish Governor Lopez, who was covered in armor, felt infinite emotion.

Originally, Lopez was still thinking that the Tang army would most likely have to temporarily make siege equipment and other objects, so that the city of Manila would last for a few more days. But now, when Lopez saw the Tang army launching these 60 dragon guns with huge muzzles and thick guns, he understood that his humble thoughts would be completely lost.

With such powerful artillery, the Tang army no longer needs to make any siege equipment. It is completely impossible for the Manila city to delay for a few days.

What made him even more sad was that these Tang troops were not even willing to persuade them to surrender, but instead fired firecrackers to attack the city in a rough manner, not taking his own Spanish governor and all the Manila defenders seriously, so arrogant and arrogant!

I remember that when Spain used heavy artillery to attack Manila City and eliminated the Luzon Kingdom, it was so arrogant.

However, I didn't expect that just over 30 years have passed, and the originally arrogant Spain was trampled on by these yellow-skinned monkeys.

All of this is really a cycle of cause and effect, and the retribution is unhappy.

Thinking of this, a trace of hideousness flashed across Lopez's face.

Humph, don’t be proud of the yellow-skinned monkey, even if the proud lion is in a bad state, he will bite a piece of meat from you!

What he can do now is to inflict as much as possible on the Tang army's attack, so that these hateful yellow-skinned monkeys will know that even if they can capture this Manila city, they will have to pay a very heavy price!

"Mr. Li, all my dragon-shooting cannons are ready, please give me instructions." The cannons shouted loudly.

"Fire the gun." Li Xiao ordered expressionlessly.

"Get orders!"

At this time, Lopez saw from the Thousand Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile, a captain-like man raised the red flag in his hand high on the Tang army artillery formation in the distance.

"preparation!"

"put!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

......

The 60 heavy dragon-strike guns, the guns of each gun immediately spewed out bloody red flames and dazzling golden flames. In the thick and choking white smoke, sixty black iron bombs, with the sound of death, hit the city wall on the right side of the west side of Manila City, with the sound of death.

The huge impact that broke through the eardrums rang out continuously. The sixty black 32-pound iron bullets seemed to have eyes, and in a uniform distribution state, hit the city wall on the west side of Manila City hard.

Sixty neatly arranged large holes appeared in the city wall on the right side of the west gate of Manila City in an instant. At the edge of each hole, thick and cracked lines were as dense as spider webs, spreading unscrupulously towards the surround. Large pieces of bricks of the city wall splashed and cracked, and a piece of dust filled the entire city wall, and the entire city wall was trembling violently.

On the city wall, a large number of Spanish soldiers whose ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths were bleeding from their ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths were all shocked, and their eyes were covered by choking dust. The city wall under their feet was shaking violently. More than fifty Spanish soldiers who were unstable fell off the city wall screaming and then fell into meat pie.

The Spanish soldiers guarding the city wall on the right side of the west gate suddenly became very confused.

There were dozens of Spanish soldiers, who were as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, screamed in horror, turned around and ran down the horse road in the city wall.

"Don't run away! You guys who have lost all the faces of Spanish soldiers, come back quickly!" A lieutenant colonel with dust and hair scattered beards shouted loudly behind them, but could not stop their escape.

Standing on the West Gate Tower, Lopez was shocked to the ground, his face and body were covered with dust, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

He coughed violently, stood up with the walls of the city walls, and immediately shouted loudly, keeping all the soldiers guarding the city quiet.

But in this chaos, although he shouted at the top of his lungs, it was not very effective.

At this time, a scared Spanish soldier ran past Lopez in a panic and wailed, as if he had not heard the warning from the highest garrison officer at all.

The Spanish Governor Lopez was angry and angry. He pulled out his sharp sword and stabbed him hard, piercing the escaped guy from behind to his chest. The escaped soldier shook his hand and fell to the ground and died.

As the city of Manila finally stabilized again, the next round of artillery attacks of the Tang army began again.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

......

Another sixty black 32-pound iron bullets roared.

Amid the deafening sound of impact, the broken bricks on the city walls were like rain, and dust and mist were spread all over the sky.

The dense spider web cracks on the right side of the entire western city wall reached a shocking level.

Lopez and all the Spanish defenders felt the city wall shaking violently again, and more than fifty Spanish soldiers who had no time to lie down were shocked and screamed and fell from the city wall.

On the wall on the right side of the west gate of Manila City, there were five guns of various kinds that were shocked to fall from under the wall. These guns fell from such a high position and immediately broke into pieces on the bluestone floor, completely turning into a pile of useless scrap iron.

In the face of such extremely powerful violence and complete death, human struggle and resistance are almost a joke.

The remaining Spanish soldiers did not need to be mobilized. Someone shouted, and the guys immediately abandoned their posts and howled and ran away with their heads in their arms.

Their escape was so determined and unstoppable, like a large group of crazy beasts, as if they could knock anything that blocked them to the ground.

"Governor General, please take it down quickly. The West Gate wall can no longer be defended!" A lieutenant next to Lopez, whose nose was blood flowing from his nose was smashed by a splashing brick, shouted at him.

Lopez, whose head and face were covered in dust, looked very ugly.

Do you really need to take it down?

But, if you don't take it down, is there any other way?

Lopez wanted to say something, but the adjutant next to him had already rushed over and pulled him down the city wall without saying a word.

After falling down the city wall, Lopez sent a new order weakly.

"All the entire army retreated from the city walls, arranged to garrison on the spot, and fought bloody battles with these damn yellow-skinned monkeys in every street and alley!"

"yes!"

When the messenger ordered the soldiers to send messages around and let all the Spanish troops guarding the city retreat from the city wall, the third round of artillery attacks of the Tang army began again.

At this time, after two rounds of volleys, the entire city wall on the right side of the west was already a sign of collapse and destruction. All the artillery on the city wall had fallen to the ground and fell to pieces. There were more than ten places to collapse, and there were several collapsed places connected into one, with the width of the gap being at least nearly ten meters.

The entire city wall on the right side of the west was like a candle in the wind, and there was only one last breath left.

Looking at the city wall on the right side of the Manila West Gate, which had been seriously damaged in front, a cruel smile flashed across Li Xiao's face.

"Transfer the military order of this Duke and continue bombardment. Be sure to completely defeat the west wall on the right!"

"Get orders!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

......

A dazzling fire flashed, and the choking smoke floated up. Another sixty thirty-two pound iron bullets whistled away. The sound of huge iron bullets hitting and the dull sound of the city wall collapsed, which made people feel thrilled.

On the right side of the entire city wall to the west of Manila City, after this bombardment, there were nearly twenty gaps in the city wall, large and small, and almost half of the city wall area completely collapsed.

At this point in the battle, the entire city wall on the right side of the West Gate of Manila had been completely destroyed, and Li Xiao finally began to issue a loud order to attack.

"Transfer our military orders to allow 2,000 musketeers to advance in a straight line and eliminate all the enemy troops encountered in front. In addition, the gun and shield battle formations are arranged behind the musketeers to protect them to prevent the enemy from attacking. In addition, the rampant movement is divided into two parts, covering the flanks!"

"Get orders!"

Soon, in the Tang army's army, there were 2,000 musketeers, all holding the fire ropes and burning muskets, lined up in a straight line, and walked forward with the sound of drums and music.

Behind them was a row of gun shield battle formations that were straight as straight as lines, maintaining five or six steps away from the musketeers in front of them, following in silence.

On both sides of the entire battle formation, there are members wearing three layers of armor and holding heavy weapons, like mecha monsters, divided into two parts to firmly protect the two wings.

Facing the Tang army musketeers who rushed towards each other like machines, the Spanish guarding the entrance of the street, they didn't feel trembling. Whether they were the Spanish spearmen holding long spears or the local indigenous soldiers, they all looked frightened and anxious.

Standing behind the formation, the Spanish Governor Lopez looked at the long row of Tang army musketeers, and his face became more and more despaired and embarrassed. He swallowed hard, and the despair in his heart was beyond words.

"Governor General, the enemy's power is too strong, and our army has limited strength. If we continue to fight hard, we may not be able to fight. From the perspective of the following, it is better than that, not as good as..." The adjutant next to him was getting lower and lower, and he could hardly continue to say it.

With a blink of an eye, Lopez drew out his sharp sword and stabbed it hard, piercing the chest of the adjutant who was stammering!
To be continued...
