The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 73 The Raid Failed
The sky is about to brighten, and it is the time when the Liberation Army is most vigilant, because if the enemy wants to raid the Liberation Army camp.

Then this time is their best choice!

Because night blindness is not only found in the Liberation Army, but also in the natives.

Though those Spaniards ate well and probably didn't suffer from night blindness.

However, is the Spanish officer leading the team willing to let the Spanish soldiers rush to the front to die?
The answer is self-evident!

Even if it was a surprise attack, the first ones must be the natives.

Therefore, if the Spaniards want to achieve the surprise effect, they can only do it when the sky is just dawn.

Zhu Hongyu understood this very well. Before dawn, he got dressed and got up. After wearing a set of single-sided breastplate, he personally led people to inspect the bastion.

Remind the soldiers of the Liberation Army on duty to be careful of being raided!
……

The encirclement and suppression force led by Colonel Robin himself arrived at the outside of the valley early.

They lurked all night, secretly observing the bastion buildings in the distance by the light of the campfire in the dark.

White belly appeared in the sky, and the golden morning glow covered the ground.

Colonel Robin can finally see the whole picture of the bastion!
Looking at the blue-gray building in the distance, Colonel Robin's face became extremely solemn.

He wondered in his heart, how did this group of Chinese build a bastion in such a short period of time?

Colonel Robin couldn't believe it!
You know, the Spanish bastion in Manila took decades to complete.

Although the bastion in front of me, compared with the bastion in Manila, is the gap between ants and elephants.

Colonel Robin had never touched cement, so in his eyes, it was quite incredible that the Chinese rebels could build a bastion in such a short period of time.

The bastion in front of me looks extremely strong, and I really want to take it down, but I don't know how many lives will be charged into it.

Looking away from the bastion, Colonel Robin said to the native dressed as a leader beside him.

"Lone wolf, tell your men to prepare to attack!"

Lone Wolf nodded, and went down.

Not long after, there was a change in the forest, the trees shook, as if a large number of people were running.

The Lone Wolf is a Pampanga man, heir to the head of the largest tribe in Pampanga.

The Governor's Mansion in Manila paid a high price in exchange for Lone Wolf leading his men and Colonel Robin into the mountains to encircle and suppress the Restoration Army.

……

On the bastion, Wu Laoliu shrank behind the observation hole, looking at the forest in the distance where the darkness has not dissipated, and there are still some trees that cannot be seen clearly.

After staying up all night, his eyes were extremely dry, and when he blinked, he couldn't help but secrete tears.

He yawned and felt a little sleepy, but Wu Lao Liu did not dare to relax his vigilance at all.

Not to mention that the general just came here to remind him to be careful and guard against the red-haired surprise attack.

Wu Lao Liu's wife and children are all in the Guangfu Army's camp, even if it's for his own wife and children, Wu Lao Liu can't be lazy.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Wu Laoliu turned his head to look, and it was Wang Gao who came to pick him up.

"Brother Six, go back and rest, I'll pick you up."

Wu Laoliu rubbed his sleepy eyes and said.

"You should keep an eye on it and pay attention to your vigilance. The general said that this point is the most prone to accidents. If the red hair wants to make a surprise attack, it must be at this time!"

Wang Gao nodded and said.

"Don't worry, Brother Six, I'll save it!"

"My parents are also in the camp, so don't dare to be sloppy!"

Wu Laoliu nodded and got up to leave.

Wang Gao said.

"Sixth brother, the general ordered people to cook broth and steam steamed meat buns in the city. You can get them out right now!"

Wu Laoliu's eyes lit up, his saliva almost flowed out, and he laughed.

"That's a good relationship, fill your stomach and go back to sleep!"

While the two were chatting, a rush of gongs suddenly sounded from the bastion.

when!Dangdang!Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!

The expressions of the two of them changed, they were calling the police!
A brother found the enemy's trace!

Wu Laoliu subconsciously picked up the gavel in his hand and knocked on the gong beside him.

Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!
The sound of the gong was loud and rapid, and in the next moment, the entire bastion, including the bright and dark whistle around the camp, gave a warning.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Everyone has it, go up the city wall and prepare for battle!"

"..."

Amidst bursts of shouts, Wu Laoliu and the others also made preparations.

Start to load the musket in your hand and put on the breastplate.

The troops stationed in the bastion received the police training and responded very quickly. They assembled within half a quarter of an hour and boarded the wall of the bastion.

Get ready for battle!
The three cannons in the fort were also loaded and ready to fire.

Of course, the recovery army was able to assemble so quickly, firstly because of their well-trained, Zhu Hongyu often played surprise attacks on the recovery army in the middle of the night, asking them to assemble quickly.

They have long been used to being tortured by Zhu Hongyu!

In the first few times, there will be panic, overwhelm, and even some people can't find the team.

But after getting used to it, even if they are suddenly attacked, they will not panic, and the speed of assembly will be very fast.

Of course, there is also a reason for the fact that there are few recovery soldiers.

It's easy to gather when there are few people!
The Restoration Army now has a total strength of nearly a thousand troops. The specific distribution is simple bastions on both sides of the valley, and one bastion is stationed with 50 and [-] people.

The remaining troops are all stationed in the camp, ready for reinforcements at any time!

The assembly of a hundred and 50 troops is definitely much simpler than the assembly of thousands of people.

Wu Laoliu pointed his head in the direction where the enemy was rushing.

The trees in the forest shook for a while, and the aborigines, with their upper bodies naked and wielding dog-leg knives, rushed out of the forest screaming strangely, and rushed towards the bastion.

First they walked briskly, then trotted, faster and faster, and gradually turned into a gallop.

A large black mass of natives rushed towards the bastion like a flash flood of mercury pouring down the ground.

Its momentum is mighty, it seems unstoppable!
Behind the black mass of indigenous people are the red-haired soldiers of Manila!

The red-haired soldiers did not launch a charge, but stood in a neat array, armed with muskets.

Behind the infantry array, there are even several small cannons, as well as supporting gunpowder, shells, etc.

The attitude of the red-haired soldiers to treat the aborigines as cannon fodder is unmistakable!
The red-haired soldiers will not launch an attack until the aborigines use their own lives to test the depth of the recovery army.

Colonel Robin stood among the red-haired soldiers, his face extremely ugly.

They had just made an action on their side, and just as someone rushed out of the forest, a warning sound came from the bastion of the Liberation Army.

This also declared that their plan to raid the Liberation Army was completely in vain!

Even if they failed in their raid, Yada might be pulled out by the Restoration Army to sacrifice the flag at any time!
The current situation also means that if they want to wipe out the Liberation Army, they can only attack head-on.

However, how much would it cost to attack a bastion head-on? !

But Robin did not order the troops to retreat and stop the attack.

For him, the natives were the ones who died anyway, and it happened that these natives went to try the firepower of the bastion.

In order not to wait for the official launch of the offensive, the Spaniards will suffer extremely heavy casualties!

More and more natives flocked towards the bastion, and as they got closer and closer to the bastion, the terrain of the river valley gradually narrowed...
