Chapter 1238 The War Begins

When the Han people shed their cowardice and were organized, the energy that erupted was enough to change the world.

In the long dark night, the brutal killing continued.

It is impossible to count exactly how many people died in this horrific massacre.

Anyway, the whole of Luzon trembled.

The third brigade of the special forces has a total of [-] people, each of which is the most powerful war machine in the world.

Although their numbers were small, they still achieved an unparalleled record as fierce tigers leading the sheep of the Han people.

As the most powerful tribe in Luzon, the Kakun tribe suffered a catastrophe in the dark night.

At dawn, the entire tribe had been razed to the ground, and there was no living person left.

All the Han people were covered in plasma, and the weapons in their hands were already full of gaps and could no longer be used.

But they eliminated their old enemy and took the initiative of the whole situation.

At the same time, Chen Jiujiu also led his men to slaughter more than half of the natives in the city.

The aborigines, who were lucky enough to survive, were completely terrified, and fled out of the city overnight, hiding in the vast dense forest.

Obviously, they didn't dare to come out again in a short time.

Asura Torres was lying on the city wall, looking at everything outside the city, trembling all over.

Is this still the Han people he knows?

In the end what happened?
Will the same bad luck befall the Spaniards?
No one can give him an answer.

Diego Franco stood aside, long since losing his military prowess.

Now he is only worried about whether the castle under his feet can stop the attack of the Han people?
Through the binoculars, he has already seen thousands of Han people gathered in the distance, pointing towards the castle.

Those Han people not only had swords and shields in their hands, but even muskets.

If the Spanish army in the city dared to go out, it might not end well.

"Mr. Governor, the only thing we can do now is to defend the castle and wait for the day when the Han people are exhausted. Don't think about going out of the city to attack, we don't have that strength."

Diego Franco gives Asura Torres a serious admonition.

"If we do nothing, wouldn't Luzon be handed over to others? This cannot be explained to His Majesty the King."

Captain Peake, furious, made the opposite opinion.

He didn't think the cowardly Han Chinese were a match for the Spaniards.

As long as the brave Spanish soldiers go out to fight in the city, they will surely calm the matter.

Diego Franco was furious, and began to curse and spit.

"Damn bastard, don't you see the muskets in the hands of those Han people? Use your egg-sized brain to think about it, where did the muskets of the Han people come from? Do you want to ruin everyone's life?"

Captain Peake refused to give an inch, and mocked with a sneer.

"When did the brave Royal Spanish soldiers fear the barbarians? In Mexico, a hundred Spanish soldiers dared to fight against a hundred thousand natives and won. You are just cowards!"

The faces of the others became extremely ugly.

That kind of sarcasm is really hurtful.

How can the situation in the Americas be compared with that in Luzon?
The ignorant, ignorant and backward indigenous people over there are so far behind the Han people that they cannot be compared at all.

In the entire castle, only Captain Peake kept roaring, yelling to go out of the city to fight.

For the rest, no one agrees at all.

"This is the bluff of the Han people. I have seen through their cards. Please believe me, Spain cannot lose Luzon, and the victory must belong to us."

Captain Peake's roar continued, but there was no response.

Just when he was about to push harder, the loud and anxious bell interrupted everything.

Everyone knows that once the big bell in the castle is rung, it means that a powerful enemy is coming.

Everyone turned their heads to look.

I saw that the entrance to the bay in Manila was already under fire and became one.

As a natural good harbor, Manila Bay certainly has a narrow entrance, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Spaniards deployed firepower on both sides of the entrance of the bay and on the small island in the middle of the river.

Fighting is taking place in these places now.

But after watching the battle, all the Spaniards in the castle felt deep despair.

On the vast open sea, several strong and tall Galen warships were firing non-stop at the various Spanish fortifications.

Their distance was so far that the Spanish artillery could not reach them at all.

However, the artillery on those Galen battleships could accurately hit the fortifications, causing heavy losses to the Spaniards.

Fortunately, solid shells do not have much damage ability, and the solid fortifications can withstand it.

But this situation of being beaten but unable to fight back is just like the current situation of the Spaniards.

"It's Xia Guo's battleship, we are surrounded."

Diego Franco regarded Zheng Zhilong's troops as the regular Xia Guo Navy.

But what he said was not wrong.

Now the castle is besieged by Luzon Han on land and blocked by Zheng Zhilong on the sea.

The Spaniards had no choice but to defend the isolated city.

Just when the Han people in Luzon were encouraged to fight bravely, the large-scale Xia Guo expeditionary force was also dispatched.

"I'm going to conquer Luzon, eliminate powerful enemies, open up territories, and make new achievements for China. This king is here, and I wish you all success and invincibility."

In the port, Zuo Menggeng and Wang Siyi saw off the expeditionary army in person.

All the soldiers saluted King Xia and Princess Wang as they left.

For this battle, they have the confidence to win.

At the same time, in the port of Batavia, seven Dutch warships and [-] carefully selected marine soldiers also embarked on the journey.

The war between Xia Guo and the Netherlands to strangle the Spaniards officially kicked off.

Anthony van Diemen and Putmans had solid plans.

Their first goal is to sweep Borneo.

Although as early as many years ago, the Dutch had a firm foothold in Borneo.But in this place, it belongs to the place where the influence of the Netherlands and Spain intersect.

The local aborigines have always had both ends of the head and rats, and they have both sides.

Anthony Van Diemen and Putmans discussed in private, and they both felt that it was inappropriate to rob Luzon with Xia Guo, so as not to damage the alliance relationship.

With the strength of the Netherlands, controlling the vicinity of Borneo is enough to digest for many years.

As for Luzon, just give it up to Xia Guo.

On Xia Guo's side, Zuo Hua and Gu Erzhong didn't know the kindness of the Dutch.

"The territory is yours only if you grab it. Therefore, I decided not to fight Manila first, but to go south quickly to seize this place, and not to give the Dutch a chance to go east."

Zuo Hua was ambitious, and pointed to a place on the map.

Gu Erzhong looked over.

There is Mindanao.
