Chapter 722 Ambush and kill the enemy chieftain
When Thiago led a battalion hastily assembled and nearly 20 Spanish soldiers set off from the capital city of Manila and rushed to the port more than [-] miles away, more than an hour had passed since the Ming army's trumpets sounded.
There are 240 Spanish soldiers in this battalion, and the remaining more than 100 are spearmen. The team marches forward in a column of four, with spearmen in front, followed by musketeers, and ten others The pioneers explored the way for a mile or so in front of the team. Thiago himself rode a horse on one side of the team, followed by a guard and a trumpeter on horseback.
At the same time that the Spanish soldiers started to march towards the port, the Ming army fleet had already arrived at the port of Manila. Under the vigilance of the South China Sea Fleet, the warships of the North Sea Fleet first docked, surrounded by soldiers left by Li Dingguo with guns on guard.
As the springboards were put on the land, the soldiers on the ship began to land in an organized manner.
This is also nearly 200 years after Zheng He's seven voyages to the West when Chengzu became the ancestor, the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers set foot on foreign lands again.
But their mission is different from that of the Sanbao eunuch who declared the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. This time the mission of the Ming army is revenge.
"Where is Li Dingguo?
Why don't you come to see me? !
How many people were killed or injured?
How many troops does Hong Yi have to guard those forts?
Still comfortable on his X land!
After floating on the sea for dozens of days, I always feel uneasy in my heart! "
Zhang Wenyao, who was dressed in black mail armor, stepped on the land with his long legs and stepped on the pedals. After shaking his body a few times, he regained the feeling of stepping on the ground.
"To the admiral!
Mr. Qian led people to the front to investigate the enemy's situation and open the way for the army!
There were no casualties in our army in this raid!
Hongyi had 280 people stationed at the four forts, of which 150 were killed by our army and 130 were captured! "
A general who was ordered to stay on guard came forward and knelt on one knee to salute the army.
"Wa hahaha!
Wonderful!
This little plum insists on getting it!
It really gave the old man a long face!
This first skill can't escape!
Haha!
This kid brought people forward, maybe he came up with some crazy idea again? "
The Spanish soldiers, who knew nothing about the situation ahead, walked in neat steps, carrying weapons on their shoulders, while Thiago, who was riding on a horse, had a relaxed and puzzled look on his face.
The cannon at the port only rang once, and there were no soldiers returning to report. Maybe the situation didn't seem as bad as I thought.
Could it be that an armed vessel tried to approach the port and then was forced to retreat when it was discovered?
This should be the greatest possibility.
Who is the enemy?
Dutch?
This is most unlikely.
These mercenary businessmen aim to earn wealth. Although their fleet is invincible in the world, it is not in their interest or in line with the character of the Dutch to attack Spanish territory for no reason.
Moreover, the two sides have already reached an intention to jointly send troops to attack Ming Dynasty, so there is no need for the Dutch to create side effects.
British?
Also unlikely.
The strength of the British fleet is relatively strong, but there is no reason to make an offensive posture.
The biggest suspect is the fleet of the Ming people, and this fleet is most likely under the name of the Zheng family. If this is the case, then we should find a way to find out why the Zheng family's fleet made such a move, and then take measures to counteract it. Repair relations with them.
Thiago knew in his heart that it would be impossible for Ming's merchant ships to come to Manila for trade without Zheng's permission, and this kind of bilateral trade is too important to Spain.
The Dutch wanted to monopolize all the trade between Ming and Europe. The mission they sent last time seemed to be for this purpose, but it was said that they were rejected by the Ming government.
This is probably why they agreed to send troops together.
He has always claimed to be the overlord of the sea, but unexpectedly he was slapped in the face by the Ming Dynasty. The Dutch are definitely annoyed.
When the Spanish soldiers capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty and control the wealth of the richest country in the world, it is not impossible for the Dutch to follow suit, but the share should not be too much, 20.00% is enough.
After all, the Dutch's maritime strength is indeed unmatched, and the relationship between the two parties is too rigid, which is not good for the safety of maritime trade lines.
"Could it be that Mrs. Zheng came here to pick up a bargain after knowing that the Spanish warships in Manila Harbor have sailed away and the port defenses are too empty?"
Spain left three warships in the port of Manila, two of which went to South America, and one carried envoys to the Ming Dynasty. Now the port defense only has the cannons on the four forts.
Having not fought against other countries' armies for many years, the vigilance of Spanish soldiers has been completely lost.
The pioneers in front of the path swaggered forward with their spears on their shoulders. They didn't search the dense vegetation on the roadside. They didn't know that there were countless pairs of eyes watching them in the woods on the side of the road.
"Wednesday!
Your team is aiming at those people on horseback!
After I give the password to fire, kill them first! "
In the woods on the right side of the road, Li Dingguo observed the Spanish soldiers approaching in the distance with a binoculars. When he saw Thiago riding on their side, who seemed to be in deep thought, Li Dingguo quietly looked at him. One of the little flags ordered.
"Accept orders!"
After hearing the order, he responded with a sentence on Wednesday, and quickly whispered instructions to the men on both sides. After hearing the order, ten soldiers including him looked at the Spanish soldiers marching on the road. Not long after, several soldiers A Spaniard on horseback appeared behind the road.
"Raise the gun!"
After being named Mines gun by Zhu You, the entire army of the North Sea Fleet no longer referred to the musket in their hands as a gun.
Amidst the rustling sound, the two hundred soldiers in a long line all pointed their guns at the marching Spanish soldiers.
Li Dingguo divided the 300 people into two places.
He personally led the team to ambush the Spanish soldiers in the woods, and another 100 people lined up on the road not far ahead to attract the enemy's attention.
Just as the ambushing soldiers of the Ming army raised their guns, there was already loud gunshots ahead of the road, and the advancing Spanish soldiers involuntarily slowed down.
Thiago, who was in deep thought, changed his face greatly. He reined in his mount and was about to draw out his waist knife to give orders, when a burst of gunshots sounded like bursting beans in the woods on one side, and three bullets hit his right ribs respectively. The buttocks, head and belly of the horse, the executioner who personally commanded the massacre of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty a few months ago tilted his body and fell off the horse, ending his glorious and sinful life.
Thanks to Jeffrey for the reward.
