Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 720 Fight to the end, until death

The Spaniards rushed into Jinshan Port regardless of casualties. The forts on the shore were not strong enough. They hit one ship but not the other one. .

Seeing this, the two armed merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty could only take the initiative to run aground, using the hull of the ship as a barrier to protect Jinshan Port!

Although they did not choose to die together, they still made the same heroic decision instead of abandoning the ship and running away immediately.

Paul ordered the native Indians and blacks to charge forward. They were afraid of the Spaniards and had to brave the firepower of Ming soldiers and coastal defense artillery to charge forward.

The Spanish soldiers in plate armor drove the native Indians with spears, bows and arrows, and the blacks who were naked, successfully landed, rushed to the fort and fought with the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty, trying to turn the battle into a fierce hand-to-hand combat.

Xiao Wu thought that the fort would definitely not be able to defend, instead of wasting precious manpower on the fort that is not easy to defend, it is better to withdraw to the city and prepare for a more tragic street battle.

But before that, take advantage of the fact that the enemy's troops are not many, give them something nice to see first!

The two sides fought fiercely. From early morning to dusk, the six forts were occupied by Spain, but before they were occupied, Ming's gunners moved the cannons back into the city.

The merchant ships in the port were either captured or sunk. Fortunately, most of the sailors swam back to the shore and retreated to Jinshan City with the remaining Ming soldiers and civilians.

At dusk, the corpses of aborigines and blacks floated in Jinshan Port, and the sea water turned bright red, but the fleet commander Paul showed no mercy.

The lives of these aborigines and black people are worthless at all, and the number of deaths is just a number to the colonists.

On the contrary, they carefully restrained the corpses of those Spanish soldiers.

According to preliminary statistics, in this landing battle, Spain lost more than 5000 people. The loss seems to be huge, but most of them are indigenous and black. The real Spanish soldiers suffered less than 500 casualties.

Moreover, the number of casualties is a bit watery. Some cunning natives took advantage of the chaos of the war and jumped into the water to pretend to be dead and swim away.

Now that the Spanish army has occupied Jinshan Port, follow-up reinforcements and supplies can be transported from the sea in an endless stream, but Xiao Wu can't get supplies from Ming Dynasty, and the balance of victory has tilted towards the Spaniards.

Paul, the son of the former governor of Luzon, is full of confidence. The army of New Spain has 2 people, and they are still going ashore one after another. After the assembly is completed, Jinshan City, which only has [-] Ming troops, can block their offensive?

Perhaps after the assembly is completed tomorrow morning, New Spain will be able to take Jinshan City, and then kill all the men of Ming Dynasty here, and capture the women of Ming Dynasty as slaves, and rob them of their gold mines.

At night, the arrogant Spaniards lit a bonfire on the beach. Commander Paul and Governor Balotme led a group of people to stand in front of the neatly arranged corpses to mourn the dead Spanish soldiers.

They watched the priest praying devoutly.

At this time, the depression in Jinshan City has risen.

For the soldiers and civilians of Jinshan, Jinshan Port is not only a place to berth ships, but also a link with the motherland and hometown of Ming Dynasty.

Now that the port is occupied by the enemy, it is equivalent to cutting off their ties with Daming and their hometown.

Commander of the Jinshan Fleet, Hero of the Panyu, cadet of the fifth phase of the Huangpu Campus of the Daming Royal Military Academy, Major Chen Shichang said in a deep voice: "My lord, the harbor is occupied by the enemy, we can't send people for help, and the Spanish soldiers and horses are constantly coming. If Jinshan City can no longer be defended, please lead the Ming army and civilians to fight guerrilla attacks in the mountains and forests of Yinzhou, we will work together with the Yin people to fight guerrilla attacks, and we will definitely be able to drive away the damned red-haired barbarians!"

What Chen Shichang wanted was to let Xiao Wu go to fight guerrillas at that time, he would live and die with Jinshan City.

His good comrade-in-arms Panyu has been sacrificed, and he can no longer run away.

Xiao Wu also knew in his heart that Jinshan City would probably lose in this battle.

This is not defeatism, but a judgment based on reality.

After all, Daming was too far away from Jinshan. Even if reinforcements arrived, they might not even have a chance to eat. They had already been wiped out by the Spaniards.

Unless something happened by accident, Daming sent some troops and they are on their way.

Shaking his head, Xiao Wu threw this unrealistic thought behind him!
"Just give up Jinshan City and the gold mine to the Hongmaoyi, I'm not reconciled!"

Xiao Wu clenched his fist and slapped the table with hatred.

Lao Bian, Chen Shichang and others were not reconciled either.

Deputy Lao Bian asked, "What does your lord mean?"

Xiao Wu thought for a while, and said: "It's too early to break out of the siege, no matter what, we have to fight until the last moment, we can't let the red-haired barbarians take Jinshan City and the gold mine easily, and wait until Jinshan City can't hold it anymore, then we will fight again." Think about guerrilla warfare!"

"Okay! Now that the governor has made the decision! The humble officer will follow the governor and fight to the last moment!" Chen Shichang and Lao Bian clenched their fists.

Although evacuating this morning can fight guerrillas better, but in that case, morale will be lost!

"Fight to the end, until death!"

Everyone also declared that they would fight to the end, the crisis of life and death aroused their blood.
