Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1048 Let him die
If you rush over, you will have a way to survive. If you rush over, you will have wealth and food. The aborigines on both sides think so. The people in front are no longer compatriots, neighbors, or relatives. He blocked his way of survival. That's the hater.

The intensity of this battle was probably the fiercest since the natives started the war in the ignorant age, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

The front end of the bamboo poles of suitable length and thickness was sharpened, then roasted on the fire, and if it was particular, it was also dipped in feces. In such a weapon fight, it took a big advantage.

There are no complicated tactics and techniques, the bamboo pole is always longer than the machete over there, and the roasted bamboo pole is also resilient, that kind of machete that is not very sharp can't be cut at all, even if it is cut by a master with quick eyes and quick hands, it is still a piece of cake. inclined plane.

This is the trick that Qi Jiguang used to deal with the Japanese pirates back then, and it was really cast by the pearl when it was used on the aborigines.
It has snowed in Songjiang Mansion now, but in Luzon, the natives are still wearing single clothes. It was the Han people who appeared and provided them with textiles. In the past, they were all shirtless at this time.

The bamboo pole pierced into the human body without hindrance, blood spattered, screams and howls came out at the same time, almost unilaterally, and the natives who were driven by the Han people immediately gained the upper hand as soon as they came into contact.

The natives who came from the Spanish fortress were frightened by the sudden and tragic death and injury. The people in the first row and the second row were stabbed to death, and the people behind turned their heads and ran away.

But there were too many people rushing over, and the people behind didn't know the tragedy ahead. They just knew that if they turned around now, not only their property would be gone, but the Spaniards would also be ruthless.

I can't retreat, since I want to rush forward, why do you retreat, at this time, everyone's eyes are red, no matter what kind of relationship this person has with me yesterday, they just slashed up with a knife.

After a little retreat, the people on the other side rushed up clamorously. The natives just got the sharpened bamboo poles, and they were not very skilled in using them. Once the stabbing fails to hit the target, and you are afraid that the opponent will approach, the bamboo pole in your hand often becomes a whipping.

Pulling the bamboo pole down can do any damage, and if you endure the pain for a while, you can reach the opponent's body, and that's when the machete has the upper hand.

This kind of machete blade is not very sharp, and there are too many dirty things on the blade. It looks not only painful, but also causes all kinds of troubles to the wound. The distance just advanced was immediately taken back by the opponent, but like this The gain of power is also short-lived, because the bamboo pole in front cannot be used, but the one behind can assassinate.

Blood splattered and screamed again and again, the two sides fought back and forth on the contact surface, and began to seesaw. This kind of cruel tug-of-war tortured the will and spirit of the participants, and it was even more torture for these lazy natives. .

Not long after the battle started, the natives fled in all directions. The residential area on the North Port side of Manila is not so much a town as it is a collection of many villages. The streets are messy, but escape is also very easy.

However, the team led by Wang Tong has already sealed off all major directions, and there is only a dead end to escape. Farther away, the Han people are demolishing houses one by one. Most of the places are similar, and it is very simple to gather the newly immigrated Han people.

Moreover, there are some belongings in these houses after all, for those coerced Han people, it is more or less a subsidy, and it can also stimulate them to work harder.

There are also native chiefs and nobles, their houses are more or less decent, but since they don't run away, then Wang Tong's men will go to attack the fortifications, and the defeat will be faster.

Now the Han people seem to be fishing for a net, and the natives are the fish in the net. At this time, it seems that there is a lot of space to move around, but in fact the space is getting smaller and smaller.

Seeing that those who could not run, or even those who ran fast, were intercepted and killed by the Han people, they had no choice but to turn back and participate in the fight willingly or unwillingly. At first, the two sides just faced each other head-on. Joined the battlefield from all directions.

After all, the number of natives driven by the Spaniards is larger, and for such low-level battles as the natives, the number of people is the decisive factor.

The aborigines with machetes gradually gained the upper hand, while those with bamboo spears began to retreat. At this moment, there was a muffled thunder-like movement, and there was also a rapid whistling sound in midair.

The natives were no strangers to this kind of sound, it was artillery. After hearing this sound, the natives with machetes attacked more violently, because they knew that only the Spaniards had artillery, and it was the Spaniards who were supporting us.

This was a very short process, and soon someone heard that the direction of the artillery shells was flying towards the fortress, and the Han people actually had artillery.

Before he could react, the artillery shells had already fallen into the crowd. The artillery that could push and follow the chaotic crowd was definitely not a heavy artillery, but the three-pound artillery could cope with the current situation, and it was almost unprotected against the crowded natives. Said it was enough to kill.

The shells flew by, the bones were broken, and the flesh was scattered. More importantly, the morale of the natives with machetes collapsed in front of the shelling.

The white people who are good at using firearms conquered Manila. They are like gods in the hearts of the indigenous people. The Han people have no firearms. Even the pirates mainly use gangs and arson. But now it is different. The Han people who killed them How can you fight if you are carrying a firearm.

The shelling lasted for two consecutive rounds, killing and injuring nearly [-] aboriginals, and then retreated completely, and the people holding bamboo spears suddenly had a wide road in front of them.

"Come up!!"

There was no need for the people behind to yell, they all roared and rushed forward. In their hearts, as long as they could get closer to the port area of ​​the fortress, their chances of survival would be higher.

"It's almost within range, everyone, control it!"

These words are not yelled out, but the low-pitched restraint of the troops behind. Although the artillery facing the residential area of ​​the fortress is not the kind of heavy artillery that is aimed at the sea, the range is far enough. This must be guarded against. This side is nervous After the loading was completed, it was desperately pushed forward again.

Manila is already considered the best place in Luzon, but the roads are still dilapidated. If it weren’t for pushing the three-pound cannon, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the natives in front. Someone sent an order from behind, and immediately someone shouted loudly in the native language:

"Call together, if you break into the fortress, everyone will have a chance to survive, or you will die!!"

As soon as the words were finished, the firecrackers rang out, killing those who were running slowly and falling behind, one shouted and two shouted.

The aborigines didn't want the resistance in front of them to be too fierce, of course they were willing to follow suit. The aborigines with machetes dropped shells on their heads. If the distance between the two sides was widened, the sharpened bamboo poles would take advantage of the assassination.

The situation changed again. The Han people armed and drove the aborigines with bamboo poles, but the aborigines with bamboo poles drove away those with machetes, layer by layer, like rolling waves, towards the fortress.

Under such a situation, it is impossible for the fortress not to fire, and there was a roar after a while, and the natives also screamed, and the momentum of retreating was stopped immediately.

But there is a problem. The artillery on the fortress is not flexible, and you can dodge it if you rush into the range, but the artillery and firecrackers following behind the natives are gradually pressed up. If you take a step back, you will open fire behind you. After a brief stagnation, they rushed towards the fortress again.

The performance of the natives on weekdays is really too weak. When the Spaniards operated the port fortress, they were very careless in the internal defense, and the external defense was high walls and cannons.

After the massacre of the Han people, the Spaniards even moved three more cannons to face the sea. Obviously, they thought that these natives who were similar to the accomplices would have no bad intentions, even if they wanted to make trouble, Relying on Spanish infantry is enough to suppress it.

There is nothing wrong with this arrangement of tight outside and loose inside, but no one would have thought that the natives would be driven to attack the fortress without fear of life or death.

To be more precise, it is not that the aborigines are not afraid of life and death, it is precisely because they are afraid of death that they have to rush forward one after another. The artillery on the fort opened fire one by one, but soon, the aboriginals did suffer heavy casualties under the artillery fire, but the people behind them The artillery has been changed to a flat shot, and the firecrackers are even more dense.

The natives rushed past the range of the fort's artillery and quickly approached the fort. Now women, children, and children are leading the charge. When the natives rushed back just now, these people were left behind, and now they are rushing again Come back, under such a crazy momentum, if they don't run or rush to the front, they will be trampled by the people behind them.

Luzon Governor Paul Louis has been watching the situation from the top of the bell tower. Seeing that the natives who rushed out rolled back again, he cursed a few "monkeys" and shouted directly:

"Infantry on the fortifications, ready to fight!"

If the distance is too close, if you rush over, the artillery will no longer be able to play a defensive role in terms of angle or firing frequency, and you still need infantry muskets and swords.

In fact, without his order, the officers below had already made similar arrangements. At this moment, the officer looking at the sea shouted:

"The Portuguese ship is going to Southport!"

Under the range of the artillery of the fortress, ships on the sea only need to make a big circle, and they can’t go ashore at the best place in the south port, they have to be at the edge, but the distance between the south port and the north port is very close, and it takes only a little more than an hour to walk , What does it mean that the enemy landed there.

"Hold the fortress. Their heavy artillery can't open the fortress beyond the range of the fortress's guns. They will consume the natives. We can still strive for a decent surrender!"

Paul Louis gritted his teeth and said that the merchants in the fortress have been issued with swords and muskets. Every man has to fight, and even women have to help load ammunition.

*******************
"Have you found the blind spot?"

"It has been found!"

Wang Tong and a guard around him asked and answered, and then turned around and ordered again. The Han people who were gathered demolished the houses of the natives, not only to remove the hiding space of the other party, but also to get suitable wood. Come, there are simple tools in hand, such as ladders and wooden shields are ready.

Not all the aborigines were driven up to attack the city. Those back-up aborigines picked up these simple tools and began to transport them under the drive.

The range covered by the artillery on the fortress is limited, and now the natives are flocking to find a relatively remote corner. With the concealment of the house, it is not difficult to transport tools up.

Of course, the people carrying the tools are all natives, so life and death are not a big deal, they just need to send the things up.

According to the instructions, a watchtower has been built with materials. Wang Tong's guards will be released as generals in the future, so they have fully mastered all skills, which is not difficult.

"How about the collected cattle and horses?"

"Reporting to my lord, the natives don't have any horses, the horses are all in the hands of the whites, and 230 cattle have been collected."

Wang Tong nodded, turned his head and shouted at the watchtower:

"Did the boat come close!"

"Go back to the lord, the boat hasn't arrived yet, but it has already come around!"

The answer from Wanglou was very loud, Wang Tong nodded, then turned around and said:
"Despite the large number of natives, we may not be able to take down this fortress. In the end, we have to go up, but there is no need to let the lives of the brothers be thrown here. First drive the natives away."

In fact, these wealthy businessmen and sea owners who came to make a fortune feel that their horizons are wide open, especially after staying in Manila, with a point in Nanyang, what they can do, this prospect is even more dizzying Shenmi, if you want to do this, you must have Wang Tong's support.

Everyone understands very well that if they want to develop here for a long time, they need to use ships, either rent or buy them. In all likelihood, they have to deal with Wang Tong. After getting the ships, the guards and safety must also be paid by Wang Tong. Greetings and protection, as for the goods, there is no need to say, how big are the ports of Songjiang Mansion and Tianjin Wei, even if there are things in Luzon, they will be sold there, even artillery, personnel training, etc. , that is inseparable from Wang Tong, everyone wants to understand this truth, and they are willing to spend money.

The spoils of this looting, everyone asked the Duke to distribute it with one voice, and all the allocations were also made by the Duke. When they come out to rob, they often have to indulge the people below, but it is also what Wang Tong said. Never going its own way, these things are secondary.

More than one person expressed his opinion to Wang Tong in private that the lives of the following sons and daughters will be handed over to the Duke of the country. The meaning of these words is not to make Wang Tong cherish, but to make it clear that Wang Tong can use it as you like, regardless of life or death. You can go back and look for it again, but Wang Tong's goodwill and goodwill are not so easy to get.

With such a statement, and looking at the current situation, it is clear that when it is necessary to confront a difficult situation head-on, it is also necessary to make up your mind to die, but Wang Tong made such a decision. Although this statement is for everyone's sake, it is not decisive enough. In all the rumors about the Duke, it has never been said that the Duke is a soft-hearted person.

Wang Tong didn't care what everyone thought, he also went up to the watchtower, and the messengers were guarding below, running at any time, the natives couldn't form any effective attack at all, they rushed up madly only because of death.

The sound of popping beans came to Wang Tong, which was the faint sound of firecrackers. Netcom could see the white smoke constantly spreading from the fortress from the watchtower. Every time the white smoke spread out, the crazily surging The crowd retreated, and then hesitated to continue forward.

This kind of reluctance to rush forward is often due to the sound of gunfire from the supervisory battle behind.

"Send a letter to the sea and fire at the fort!"

Wang Tong ordered.

****************
Because some ships were rounding towards the south port, several large ships on the sea were in a state of firing preparation, forming a confrontation with the fortress's fortress and holding each other back.

After Wang Tong gave the order, it was natural to fire the cannon immediately, but it took a lot of trouble to spread the order from the hinterland of the residential area to the sea.

Originally, there was a lookout post on the mast, which was responsible for watching the sea, but now there are two. Someone is staring at a corner of Nangang, waiting for a message from there.

After the signal was conveyed, several large ships began to adjust their positions awkwardly. They adjusted their positions. The Spanish artillery on the fort immediately discovered this dynamic and made preparations immediately.

But this preparation is also a helpless move. The range of the opponent's naval guns is far longer than that of the shore guns. The opponent's firing of the guns will cause damage to the emplacement, and the firing of the guns on my side is at most a deterrent. Compared with the two, it is really suffocating.

Still roaring like thunder, the shell hit the stone wall of the turret, but the second shell obviously increased the firing angle, and hit the crenel of the stone wall heavily, causing gravel to splash.

If it was not a big deal in the shelling a few days ago, the artillerymen would have known to lie on the ground, but not now, inside and outside the fortress, up and down the stone walls, there are soldiers fighting everywhere, although not in one aspect, still Across a huge yard, the stone chips stirred up by the heavy artillery flew at high speed, and many people in the yard and on the stone wall were injured.

It may not be a fatal injury, but the wound is horrific, blood is flowing, screaming, and the soldiers who are concentrating on dealing with the aborigines will also be distracted.

There was another whistling sound from the direction of the sea. This time, the white people in the fortress couldn't care less about anything, and immediately looked for places to hide. Fortunately, this time, the shells still hit the stone wall. The distance is too far However, the accuracy of the naval guns is not high, and it cannot cause damage to the defenders of the fortress again and again.

But once is enough, no one dares to take the risk of their lives, but the attack on the fortress is not just in one direction on the sea, as soon as their guards relax, the natives get closer, the so-called dilemma is like this Fortunately, natives are just like rabbits.

A burst of firearms fired, and they immediately ran away in a panic, fearing that they would be affected, but the sound of cannons on the sea rang out sparsely, and they couldn't concentrate on defending, but the natives' equipment had already been transported up.
