Chapter 88 Retreat into the city

Within three minutes, Anard walked out of the room comfortably, wiped the bloody hatchet with his dirty pants, and then threw the head in his hand to the ground, laughing happily.

"These ocean horses are so exciting! They are much better than our women!" Annard laughed. He never thought he could have a foreign woman in his life. Although that woman is almost sixty years old, the feeling he brought him was still much better than the dark indigenous women of his clan.

At this time, several indigenous people rushed over from outside. They came to the opposite stairs. After a while, Anard saw a Spanish woman in her thirties lying on the balcony of the window. The brothers stripped her naked, and then the Spanish woman screamed.

Although these indigenous people were still very afraid of the Spanish, they now forget what fear was like a devil from hell.

Anard, who felt very comfortable, felt that the exercise just now consumed too much energy, so he did not participate in the part upstairs. He walked forward dozens of meters and saw a store selling food. He smashed the wooden door with a hatchet and prepared to go in and find something to eat.

Soon he found a young Chinese child hidden under the table inside, looking about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a kitchen knife in his hand. When he saw Anard standing in front of him, he felt very scared.

"What are you...what are you going to do?" The situation outside scared the child and asked carefully. Although most Chinese have evacuated this place of trouble, a few people have either notified them or are reluctant to leave their own property. This child is an orphan and usually shows the doors for a living for the owner of the store here. As a result, the boss ran away, but he kept him here cruelly.

Anard walked over without hesitation and took the hatchet in his hand and gave it to the child below the neck. The child fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, showing an incredible expression, and blood flowed out of his neck, which soon dyed a large area of ​​land red.

Although the Chinese army outside was besieging Manila, and shells fell into the city from time to time. But how could Anard think of so many? He just felt that these Chinese and Spanish should die the most. If you don’t take advantage of the chaos, when will you wait?

After getting rid of the Chinese child, Annard came to the store with satisfaction and feasted as he pleased.

As more and more shells fell into the city, the natives became more and more crazy. The explosion of shells was not like the sound of rushing to death, but like cheering for these natives. They rushed from the slums to the streets and burned and killed and looted everywhere. None of them were spared. Except for a few who were still sober and knew that the Ming army that supported the Chinese would enter the city soon and could restrain themselves, the others had been crazy, killing people when they saw them and robbing things when they saw them.

There are quite a few Spanish people living in the Philippines, most of which are concentrated in the city of Manila and the coastal areas of Luzon. After Spain conquered the Philippines, with the pace of colonial expansion, many Spanish people brought their families to Manila to settle down. But now, they are scared and panicked because they are afraid of the attack and revenge of the Ming army. The powerful and powerful hide in the Governor's Mansion, where they can be protected by the Governor's Mansion, while others either stay at home or hide near the barracks.

This was also a mistake by Bolton. He did not leave the troops in the city to set up defenses, but instead left all the troops on the shore to fight with the Ming army. Soon, several infantry regiments in Rubio's hands, the only cavalry regiment, and the only artillery regiment were all left near the beach. Even if they could hear the screams and smoke from Manila, they had no time to go back to rescue.

"Col. Look, it seems that the city is on fire!" said the staff officer next to Rubio.

He was shocked after hearing this, picked up the telescope and looked over. Sure enough, there was already thick smoke in the rich area, and only the Governor's Mansion, which was still safe.

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that these yellow-skinned monkeys attacked Manila City?" Rubio asked in surprise.

"It was those indigenous people! It was those indigenous people who rushed into the rich area!" Another staff officer saw the scene in the rich area with a telescope and shouted.

"What?"

"Boom!" Before Rubio finished speaking, the Ming army continued to launch shelling, and the battle on the beach continued.

People in the wealthy areas, whether Chinese or Spanish, have been killed by the indigenous people. However, for the indigenous people who have long been in a state of madness, this number of people is really great, and they have not had enough fun to kill them.

"The rest of the people ran to the barracks! Our brothers were there to look at the gates for us! Let's go to the barracks! There were a lot of treasures and women there!" One native shouted loudly. The other natives became even more fanatical when they heard the news.

It turned out that Rubio, an incompetent person, actually asked the security forces trained by the natives to guard the barracks and moved all the Spanish troops outside the city to fight against the Chinese army. Doesn’t this give the other party the opportunity to rob themselves?

More than 10,000 Spanish troops launched an attack on the Ming army landing on the beach. The First Fleet and the Second Fleet did not open fire on the beach because they were afraid of accidental injuries.

"Warriors, let's drive all these damn yellow-skinned monkeys to the sea to feed the fish! Then let's go back to support the army in the city!" Colonel Rubio shouted loudly. In his opinion, it was only a matter of time before he could solve these Ming troops. What's more, the warships of the Xinhua Army dare not fire rashly now. Although the number of the other side is a bit large, due to the beach terrain, the Spanish army can attack the Ming army condescendingly, which is now an excellent opportunity.

As for the Spaniards near the barracks, Rubio still believes that the Spanish officers in the security forces can stabilize the situation and prevent the natives from getting close.

The Spanish army lined up in line and stepped on neat drum beats and began to rush towards the positions simply built by the Ming army. At this moment, they were only more than 300 meters away from an infantry regiment of the First Division that the Ming army had just landed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Although the Ming Route Army cannot get the navy's artillery support now, the thirty mortars equipped in the infantry regiment opened fire.

All the mortars fired at the training extreme rate of fire, and the dense shells immediately fell into the Spanish queue, which made them fall on their backs and easily tore through the team.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The "two" rifle in the Ming army also began to speak. At this short distance of more than 300 meters, it was enough to kill these Spaniards.

The biggest disadvantage of the Type 2 rifle is that its range is a bit short. First, it is because it uses black gunpowder and has insufficient medicinal power. Instead, it adopts a rear-mounted design and paper shell bullet, resulting in serious air leakage. The maximum range is only 550 meters, and even the maximum range of the Type 1 rifle is less than.

But it relies on its own speed of fire. The Spanish troops stalking forward were cut down in rows as if they were cutting wheat. Although the soldiers in front fell down, due to rigorous training, someone immediately made up for it. However, as the casualties became increasingly serious, the Spanish gradually felt deep fear and their pace of progress was no longer firm.

The performance of the weapons in the Ming army completely exceeded Rubio's imagination. He had to believe that the Ming army's weapons and equipment can now surpass the European army, and the same number of Spanish troops is no match for the enemy at all. If you want to win, you can only win without a 5-fold advantage of more than five times and not in a hurry to launch a casualty and injury.

After a few minutes passed, the attacking Spanish army left a pile of corpses and fled. The morale of the entire array collapsed, and the Spanish officers and soldiers turned around and ran away, losing their courage in the face of such heavy firepower.

As a last resort, Rubio had to order a retreat and enter Manila City to resist and delay time as much as possible.
