"Your Majesty, there is no living Spaniard in the harbor." The next morning, Tieniu told Zhu Haitao about the handling of the harbor.

"Okay." Zhu Haitao replied.

"Your Majesty, no, Spanish troops landed on the north bank of Fengtian Prefecture! It was in the early morning!" At this time, Zhao Kai, the new commander of the Jinyiwei, ran over and told Zhu Haitao the news.

Li Jifa is the chief of staff, and is not suitable for always being a errand for Zhu Haitao. Li Junlan is Zhu Haitao's concubine. It is not good to always master the Jinyiwei's weapon. What if she uses Jinyiwei to interfere in politics? However, he still couldn't trust others, so he handed over the position of the Jinyiwei commander to Zhao Kai, a relative of the four sisters of the Li family. His wife was Li Baijun's sister. He followed Li Baijun to conquer the world in his early years. Later, he strongly supported Li Junmei as the new leader. Later, he also supported Zhu Haitao very much and was loyal to him.

"Did they land?" The Spanish army actually used the cooperation between sea and land to attack Fengtian Prefecture? This surprised Zhu Haitao a little.

"I really didn't expect that they would attack us by attacking us from both land and sea." Li Jifa also sighed from the side.

"I'm quite brave, but I'll only go all the way with you for a few trips! Li Degong! Take the Royal Guards Division to meet them!" Zhu Haitao just smiled, and then said to Li Degong beside him.

Li Degong is a new general and has been the first in his recent martial arts practices. He is also the nephew of the Li sisters, so he naturally gave Zhu Haitao's careful selection of the Royal Guard Division to him for command.

"Yes!" Li Degong knew what Zhu Haitao wanted to train him, so he half-kneeled down and bowed, and then returned to his own barracks. After sufficient preparation, the troops rushed to the place where the Spanish Army landed.

The Royal Guard Division was an elite unit carefully selected and formed by Zhu Haitao from the First to Eighth Divisions. It had four infantry regiments and two artillery regiments, with a total force of more than 14,000 people, which was simply half an army.

Now the Royal Army has a total of nine divisions and an engineer column. Zhu Haitao is preparing to organize his troops into three armies recently, and it will be after pacifying the Philippines this time.

Major General Gonzaros was not aware of the navy. In his eyes, using so many navys was a waste. Although these yellow-skinned monkeys had navys, it was not a problem for the great Spain, and they did not need to use so many powers at all.

He still felt that Alfonso wanted to compete with him for credit. The navy was fast. If he rushed in first, he would definitely turn this Fengtian Mansion into ruins, and then he would have nothing to do.

So shortly after he separated, he asked the transport ship to approach the shore at its maximum speed and prepared to carry out landing operations. Finally, he arrived at the shore of Mindanao at night.

However, because in the darkness and many of the ships who had never taken the boat were seasick, Gonzaros decided to let the army rest for a night and then let them go to Fengtian Mansion a few kilometers away.

Who knew that their movements were soon discovered by nearby villagers.

Since Zhu Haitao established Fengtian Prefecture, the surrounding population has gradually become denser, and many villages have also moved to nearby areas. The beach here has always been a densely populated place. This time, Gonzaros brought a total of seven infantry regiments and two artillery regiments, with a total of more than 30,000 troops. How could such a big disturbance not be discovered?

After the villagers discovered this situation, they immediately rushed to Fengtian Mansion and told the government.

Major General Gonzaros' Army also saw these Chinese villages in a short while. Although he was incompetent, he also knew that the concealment of this mission was very important, so he immediately decided to erase this annoying village from the earth.

Not long after the villagers who reported the news left, he came to the village with a team of one thousand people, carrying a bayonet rifle.

Although he thought it was easy to deal with these yellow-skinned monkeys without any power, what he didn't know was that most of the villagers here were relatives of the Ming Dynasty's Royal Army, and many of them were retired soldiers in their families. In order to deal with local natives, the Ming Dynasty encouraged guns and allowed gun trading in Mindanao, so basically every family brought guns.

Because the "2" rifle has just been equipped with the troops, most of the villagers use "1" rifles without bayonets, as well as many flintlocks that retreated first, and even co-ropes.

But this was enough for Gonzaros to have a drink, and an unexpected fierce battle broke out in the village.

Gonzaros suddenly found himself in an ambush. Caught off guard, dozens of soldiers were wiped out in an instant. He immediately hid under the wall of a house and was surrounded by soldiers next to him to retreat.

The disadvantages of the flintlock rifle are now reflected, because the loading speed is slow and the need to stand to load bullets, it is quickly suppressed by the villagers.

If Gonzaros hadn't escaped in time if he hadn't been very close to the military base, he would have died in this village long ago.

After the horror of life and death, Gonzaros was very angry. He immediately ordered the artillery regiment to prepare, mobilize all 120 cannons, and fire at the village.

These field guns directly used grenades with multiple projectiles, and launched intensive bombardment at the village.

A grenade had more than ten small steel balls, and once it was hit, it was a large area. The villagers had many casualties and injuries in the battle just now. How could they resist this? They suffered heavy losses. Even if they hid in the house, they would be hit by the small steel ball falling from the sky. For a moment, the crying sounds in the village were shocking. Some strong men wanted to rush out and fight with them, but were killed by the dense flintlock fire at the entrance of the village.

After the shelling, Gonzaros asked the entire army to attack and completely slaughter the village without leaving a single living.

At this moment, Li Degong finally arrived with the Royal Guards Division.

He heard the rumbling sound of cannons in the distance and felt something was wrong. He immediately ordered the troops to advance at full speed, but it was still too late to hurry up.

By the time he arrived, the shelling had stopped and the entire village was already devastated, with casualties and injuries.

Li Degong's eyes suddenly turned red and shouted: "Article Corps is ready!"

"yes!"

"Let these foreigners taste our cannons!" Li Degong shouted loudly.

The first battle between the Ming army and the European Army began in an artillery battle.
Chapter completed!
