The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 94 The rout of the Spaniards

Just when the black lizard was heartbroken over the huge casualties of the tribe's warriors, the gate of the bastion suddenly opened.

The Restoration Army in the camp and the defenders of the upstream bastion rushed out of the bastion, took the initiative to attack, and faced them.

Seeing this scene, Hei Li's eyes brightened, and he shouted loudly.

"Follow me, brothers, kill!"

"Kill all these cowards who only hide in the city walls and shoot guns, and avenge our warriors who died in battle!"

"..."

The black masses of natives rushed toward the Liberation Army in front of them like a tide.

Without the slightest panic, Zhu Hongyu ordered to deal with it.

"Musketeers ready to shoot in bursts!"

"Melee soldiers are ready to fight, Zhen Tianlei is ready!"

"..."

The Liberation Army quickly rearranged their formation, followed by three consecutive rounds of platooning, and then there was nothing else.

In order to boost morale and demonstrate his bravery, Hei Li led the team to the front. After three rounds of shooting, he was smashed into a sieve by lead bullets.

Seeing that the leader was killed, the natives of the Jumu tribe collapsed instantly!

When the other tribes saw that the giant wood tribe had run away, they followed suit.

The remaining two hundred Spaniards wanted to fight, but they couldn't restrain the natives.

After they fired two rounds of guns against the Restoration Army, they were also defeated by the bayonet charge of the Restoration Army.

The neat bayonets charged and broke through the formation, and the sword and shield soldiers followed up, piercing deeply, cutting the battlefield, dividing and encircling the originally neat formation of the Spaniards, and then quickly annihilating them.

This time, due to the faster defeat of the Spaniards, the Restoration Army was not able to wipe out the 70 Spanish musketeers, and [-] people managed to escape into the mountains.

Three or forty people knelt down and surrendered as prisoners!

The Liberation Army did not pursue!
Instead, he turned his head quickly, gathered his troops, and headed towards the bastion in the lower reaches of the river valley.

……

The Liberation Army won the two battles neatly, and the crocodile tribe who were on the sidelines quickly received the news.

Sanchez was overjoyed when he heard this.

He ordered his clansmen to attack.

"Warriors, strike out, help our allies, and kill all the Spaniards!"

Sanchez gave an order, and his son, the first heir of the tribe, personally led the team to kill them.

The thin and small natives scattered in all directions in an instant. They shuttled flexibly in the mountains and forests, and there was almost no terrain that could restrict their activities.

On flat ground, the Restoration Army could easily defeat the natives several times, or even ten times as many, but if the battlefield was placed in the mountains and forests, the result would be uncertain.

That's why Zhu Hongyu insisted on forming an alliance with the Iglots!

……

Zhu Hongyu didn't know about the actions of the Eaglet people, and Colonel Robin couldn't possibly know either.

However, he received news of defeat one after another from the middle of the valley and upstream.

Because of the terrain of the mountains and forests, it is definitely impossible to mobilize a large number of troops for reinforcements, but it is still no problem to spread the news.

In the two battles, almost immediately after the end of the battle, Colonel Robin announced the news.

A large number of Spaniards were killed, and the natives were defeated and fled into the mountains.

He was full of confidence in it, thinking that the encirclement that would surely trap the Liberation Army was easily broken.

The battle is lost!
Undoubtedly a fiasco!
Even leaving aside the losses of the natives, the casualties of the Spaniards in the previous and subsequent battles were beyond the reach of the Governor's Palace.

Robin knew that he was doomed, and the governor would never let him, the defeated general, go.

In desperation, Robin chose to order a retreat.

He wants to save the Spanish troops in Manila as much as possible!
He couldn't throw the more than 300 people in his hands into the mountains.

Just when everyone was in danger, Robin's order to withdraw troops came down.

The military order made the army even more confused and panicked. Almost all the natives in the army dispersed.

The natives did not flee along the river, but chose to escape into the mountains and forests, directly abandoning the Spaniards.

But the natives were able to climb over the mountains and escape the battlefield directly from the mountains and forests, but the Spaniards could not.

If they want to escape, they can only follow the river!
Not only because of logistical supply issues, but more importantly, environmental issues.

The natives can adapt to the environment in the mountains and survive in the mountains, but the Spaniards cannot.

In order to speed up the evacuation and avoid being wiped out by the Restoration Army, Colonel Robin ordered to abandon all artillery, gunpowder, and shells and evacuate lightly.

"Hurry up!"

"Speed ​​up and don't carry too many things."

"The artillery can't be taken away. Pile the gunpowder, shells, and artillery together, and ignite them all to blow them up."

"What we can't take away, we can't leave to those damned rebels!"

Colonel Robin quickly ordered and directed.

With a loud bang, the gunpowder artillery piled up together was ignited, and a huge flame shot into the sky.

The gun barrels were instantly deformed by the terrifying impact of the gunpowder explosion, and the gun barrels of the two long barrels were directly deformed and twisted.

Designation is no longer available!

Even those light cannons with short barrels were sent to the sky by the impact, and then fell heavily to the ground, causing the cannons to deform directly.

This is what they saw when the Restoration Army joined forces with the downstream bastion and broke out from the bastion.

In the flames, the Spaniards blew up their cannons.

After the Spaniards finished blasting the artillery, they began to run along the river and down the river in a mess.

After seeing the Restoration Army rushing out of the bastion, the Spaniards, who were already in panic, collapsed instantly.

Colonel Robin couldn't organize the rout at all, so he could only be coerced and fled with the rout.

Zhu Hongyu's face was so ugly that the Spaniards actually blew up the cannon.

The Liberation Army is very short of cannons now, especially the large-caliber cannons with long barrels.

Originally, Zhu Hongyu thought that he could capture something in this battle, but he didn't expect the Spaniards to blow up the artillery.

Annoyed, he ordered the recovery army to pursue.

"kill!"

"Give me a hard kill, damn it, a group of turtles dare to blow up my cannon!"

That's right, in Zhu Hongyu's eyes, it was his artillery that the Spaniards blew up.

The Spaniards ran ahead, and the Liberation Army quickly pursued them.

The distance between the two sides is constantly being widened!

Because the Spaniards were running for their lives, no matter what formation they were in, they ran as fast as they could.

However, this is not the case for the Liberation Army. Even in pursuit, the most basic formation must be guaranteed.

Zhu Hongyu is used to the old Yin coin tactics of luring the enemy deep and then laying an ambush.

I was afraid that the Spaniards would also give him a hand, so even when chasing him, he was quite cautious.

The Liberation Army also maintained a basic formation when chasing, ensuring that even if they were suddenly attacked, they could quickly launch a counterattack.

Therefore, the Liberation Army watched the Spaniards flee quickly!

Robin was surrounded by the rout, and as they moved away from the battlefield and the distance from the pursuing Liberation Army, the expression on his face gradually relaxed.

Just at this moment, suddenly the mountains and forests on both sides of the river shook and collapsed!
This is the sound of the bowstring exploding!
Arrows with iron arrows shot out from the forest and shot at the fleeing Spaniards.

puff!puff!puff!

This is the sound of an arrow piercing through flesh and into a human body.

The Spaniards were stunned by the sudden surprise attack, and before they had time to make any response, the short, thin, bare-chested natives rushed out of the forest.

They held dog-leg knives and painted colorful pictures on their faces, howling and rushing towards the Spaniards.
