Chapter 1244 Divide and Conquer

Asura Torres is dead.

Diego Franco was also killed.

The entire Spanish royal city completely lost its command and was in chaos.

In the case of being flanked from front to back, the Spanish soldiers didn't know what to do at all.

They could only fight back blindly, run around blindly, and were beaten to death inexplicably.

With the containment of special forces inside the city, the attack outside the city went very smoothly.

Xia Jun attacked under the bastion and began to erect long ladders.

The Spanish soldiers on the city were able to fight back at the beginning, which greatly hindered Xia Jun's climb, but the number was too small after all, and there were always gaps in the defense.

In a hidden corner, Xia soldiers did not use ladders, but shot iron hooks into the city wall with bows and crossbows.After hanging on firmly, the skilled soldiers climbed up along the rope.

When the Spaniards found out, more than a dozen soldiers had come up here.

Although the number is still small, it is enough.

The Spaniard just tried to attack, but found that he couldn't beat him, so he had to turn around and run away.

No matter how strong the bastion is, if there is a flaw in one place, then there will be flaws everywhere.

The soldiers of the Xia army who climbed onto the city wall rushed and fought fiercely. With better weapons and better tactical qualities, they directly flattened a large area of ​​the city wall.

In this way, more and more soldiers of the Xia army ascended the city, and finally gained an advantage in numbers.

They began to search every corner above and below the city wall, inside and outside.

All Spaniards who dared to resist were beaten to death one by one.Soldiers who surrendered were driven aside and kept under strict control.

There were more soldiers of the Xia army rushing down the city wall, and under the guidance of the special forces, they captured important places.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the gate of the Spanish Royal City was opened, and the main force of the Xia Army officially entered the city.

The remaining Spaniards were surrounded in St. Augustine Church, and failure was inevitable.

"Speak in and tell the Spaniards to lay down their arms and surrender."

The translator took a few steps forward, raised the loudspeaker and babbled a lot.

There was a moment of silence inside, and there was a quick response.

"General, the Spaniards inside say they must be kept safe."

Gu Erzhong snorted coldly, with a firm attitude.

"Tell the people inside that I don't mind sending them to God if they don't lay down their arms."

Translation doesn't care so much, just follow the script.

The silence in the church was longer, and the Spaniard was obviously caught in a tangle.

"Fire a shot at the church door, be careful not to cause damage."

Gu Erzhong is cold and cruel, but also very calm.

St. Augustine's Church knows that it has a sense of art from the first look, and it would be better if it can be preserved.Therefore, just let the people below fire to scare, and the building cannot be damaged.

A shell landed accurately on the open space in front of the church, and the earth was shaken by the sound of the explosion, completely destroying the Spaniards' will to resist.

They finally understood that the place where God showed his kindness could not actually protect their safety.

The desperate Spaniards finally walked out of the church one after another.

There were about hundreds of people, men and women, old and young, some in expensive clothes and some in rags.

But without exception, everyone looked terrified and trembling.

Not knowing what fate awaits them.

Seeing these Spaniards throwing their weapons aside, Gu Erzhong waved his hand, and Xia Jun soldiers rushed forward to control these people.

Not only that, but also separated.

Strong men were drawn to one side, and old men, women, and children gathered to the other.

So far, Spain's ruling center in Luzon has completely fallen into the hands of Xia Guo.

Looking at this castle with extraordinary architectural technology, the ancient second high school can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

If Xia Jun hadn't adopted unexpected offensive methods, it might not have been easy to get in.

"Where's Zhu Jin? What's the status of the special forces?"

Through this battle, Gu Erzhong fully realized the value of special forces.He was even thinking secretly, should he suggest to the command headquarters to set up a special warfare brigade within the Second Marine Division?
"Eight brothers were sacrificed, three others were not found, and more than [-] people were injured. The overall calculation is still within an acceptable range."

Zhu Jin's morale was high, and he was very satisfied with the results of the battle.

Although many people were sacrificed, they fell in the very center of the enemy, and sacrifices were inevitable.Compared with the results obtained, this casualty is really a bargain.

The Ancient No. [-] High School felt rather regretful.

"These are great heroes, and their funeral must be properly handled. In the future, a monument will be erected here to remember their achievements."

When the special forces heard this, they couldn't help feeling warm in their hearts.

The battle is over, the overall situation has been decided, and the second ancient high school issued an order.

"Send a signal to the sea and let the civilian staff come and receive it."

At dawn, Xia Jun's warship docked, and a large number of government officials walked into Manila.

The purpose of the Xia Kingdom's attack on Luzon is to incorporate it into the territory of China forever, so officials will inevitably be sent to govern and establish a political power.

The leader is even more extraordinary, it is Huang Zongyan.

Among the three brothers of the Huang family, Huang Zongxi and Huang Zonghui have long been famous.

One is Dinghaishenzhen in the army, and the other is the iron-faced Hades that everyone talks about.

Only Huang Zongyan has been engaged in the administrative field, and has been transferred many times, so his reputation is not obvious.

But his ability center is always in his eyes.

This time to take over Luzon, because the area is vast and the situation is complicated, capable officers are needed to keep the situation under control.

So he was sent here.

"To ensure long-term peace and stability in Luzon, the military needs to cooperate more."

Huang Zongyan's request did not come as a surprise to Ancient No. [-] High School.

"What is the provincial government going to do?"

Before Huang Zongyan came, he had a detailed discussion with Zuo Menggeng in Taiwan and got a lot of advice.

"The situation in Luzon is very complicated, and it must be addressed one by one. The Spaniards have nothing to say, and I am going to arrange a public trial. Among them, those who have caused evil deeds to the Han people and the indigenous people will be released to quell public anger."

Gu Erzhong nodded on the spot, knowing that this method is very good.

After a great war in Luzon, people are impetuous and the situation is delicate. The first thing to do is to unify the cognition.

As the former rulers here, the Spaniards committed many crimes, whether against the Han Chinese or against the natives.

By trying the Spaniards, the Han people and indigenous people here can accept the emergence of a new regime.

The aborigines mentioned here are not those aborigines who followed the Spaniards and fought against the Han.

The indigenous people on Luzon Island cannot be viewed as a whole.

In fact, before the arrival of the Han Chinese and the Spaniards, the natives here were all divided into tribes, and they attacked each other with hatred as deep as the sea.

Among them, there is no concept of country and nation at all.

It is also for this reason that Huang Zongyan intends to divide and rule these natives.
