Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1052
It was Wang Tong's guards who faced the enemy head-on. They fired a round of firecrackers, and then the spearmen went to pursue them. Of course, there was no danger in stabbing them in the back, but they were also wearing armor, and the weight of their spears was not light. What's more, the Spanish soldiers who lost their courage had already thrown away their weapons, and running lightly and fast, the distance gradually opened up.

The backbone of the pirates everywhere has always been lurking in the buildings near the fortress. At this time, they rushed out to pick up the leak.

Even if the Spanish soldiers are well-trained, in the state of rout, people with weapons in their hands can inflict damage on them, even if they are holding a wooden stick. These pirates are very energetic, and anyone can beat a dog in the water. They could also clearly see the power of the giant cannon, and more importantly, everything was under Wang Tong's arrangement. Since he landed, the various arrangements made by the young Duke were considered laborious and absurd by them. But I didn't expect them to come true one by one.

The Spanish soldiers fell to the ground screaming, and fled faster. The fortress did not dare to fire in this direction, because the possibility of accidental injury was too great.

What made the Spaniards relieved was that the opponent did not kill them all. Armed men appeared on both sides of the road, and they were about to divide and surround them, but there was a long horn sounding. Their people retreated to their original positions, or turned around.

Immediately, the Spaniards knew why they stopped chasing and killing them. Just after they dispersed the people swarming at the gap in the fortress, the heavy artillery fired again, and another hole was opened in the stone wall.

The Han people were not so active in driving the aborigines away. They just pushed the light cannons forward as much as possible through the concealment of the buildings, and then fired the shells into the stone walls and inside the fortress.

The firing speed of that heavy cannon is very slow. It seems that each cannon has to adjust its position. Naturally, it is impossible to shoot accurately, but the general direction is to shoot slowly towards the various artillery positions inside, even if it cannot be hit. Collapsing the emplacement, the collapse of the stone wall near the emplacement will also make it impossible for the artillery to shoot, because the heavy artillery itself will crush the stone wall.

The infantry holding firecrackers had no way to stand on it to defend, not to mention the destructive heavy cannon, those light cannons that could be fired calmly were unbearable to them, not to mention that the concept of these light cannons was nothing more than that A cannon over [-] pounds is small.

The firepower of the fort to the inland has weakened and disappeared, and the attacking natives rushed over even without being driven. The current situation is that it is a little safer to enter the fortress without being slaughtered by Han firearms. Then there is a hand-to-hand fight with the white man.

The buildings used as shelters were also demolished, the range of heavy artillery firing was wider, and the stone walls of the small fortress began to crack everywhere.

The firing interval of that artillery is very long, but the Spaniards in the fortress can't even block it. The pockets of the Han people are getting tighter and tighter. The natives have nowhere to go. The only way to go is to go to the fortress. They want to escape Or to hide, the buildings were demolished little by little, and there was nowhere to hide, and they were killed little by little.

The gap is big enough, and the range of the heavy artillery is enough. After slightly raising the firing angle, it can even bombard the fort facing the sea.

The Spaniards in the fortress could see the south port and issue orders towards the sea. Even if they didn't understand the meaning of the flag, they would understand if they heard the heavy artillery on the sea.

When the sun was setting, all the forts in the fortress were beaten and lost their combat effectiveness. Governor Paul Louis was not a fool, he showed the white flag before dark.

The sound of the artillery stopped, but the attack of the natives did not stop. Why did they surrender? It was to survive, not to be hacked to death by the natives. The Spanish battle continued.

After the sky was completely dark, the fighting stopped. After the white flag was shot, the opponent did not fire, but the fighting did not stop.

"We will surrender, we will lay down our arms!"

After all, there are so many Han Chinese here in Luzon, and there are also many Han Chinese merchant ships, and they have also learned some Chinese. Of course, it is inevitable that they shout with the accent of Fujian.

There was no response from the Han people, as if they were exhausted after a day of fighting and did not want to respond to their surrender.

***************
"The natives consume as much as possible today, and pass orders to the people of each family to cheer them up. After working idly for so long, it's time to use the knife."

After getting up from the tent the next day, Wang Tong calmly gave the order. He didn't like the hot and humid climate in Luzon very much, and the battles these few days were very boring.

Wang Tong has always been in the army, very regular, but other people are not necessarily so. When Wang Tong walked out of the tent, more than a dozen people guarding around his tent scattered to report the news. Instead of fighting together, they are scattered separately. They trust Wang Tong, but there are taboos and rules of their own at sea for so many years. The distance is close, and fire is very likely, so be careful.

"Call everyone back, I have an order to pass!"

The group of people just started to move, but they were stopped by Wang Tong, and the guards quickly stopped them. The dozen or so people just followed to watch the scene, and when they heard Wang Tong's words, they all came back with apologetic smiles.

"For this afternoon only, all the native women in the camps must be placed in a unified place. If you are reluctant, you can mark it and return it to him in the future. But if you still keep it privately after this afternoon, I will do it in Luzon. This military law , brought the words here, don’t say I didn’t say it.”

The people around respectfully agreed, and then went to pass the order. This time, everyone is actually doing business in partnership. This "military law" can't be said, but look at the gunboats like Wang Tong, look at the elite tigers and wolves on the shore, and look at the cannons , not to mention the marching law, even if it is to annex and kill people, who can do anything, but obediently obey orders.

Wang Tong's military discipline is strict, but the sea lords and those wealthy merchant teams in Songjiang are not the same. Although they can do whatever they want on weekdays, they are invaders and conquerors on the ground in Luzon, and the feeling of treating the natives as inappropriate is still different. Yes, the native settlements near the fortress area can be regarded as the essence of the entire Luzon Islands. Although the natives have not evolved completely, they are somewhat exotic. Many people and even big and small bosses have made one or A few, these days there are not many places where they are needed for fighting, and it is also fun to spend the whole day in the tent.

But after being slack for so long, at this moment, he was about to get nervous.

The sixteen three-pound and six-pound cannons transported from the sea were lined up, and the buildings around them were dismantled into flat ground, where the artillerymen from the ship loaded and prepared. In order to provide today's shells, last night There are even gunboats approaching Nangang to unload their cargo, just for today's sufficient ammunition.

The white flag on the bell tower was still hanging, and the battle would continue, but the Spaniards refused to give up the chance to surrender. In order to survive, the bottom line was the lowest.

The heavy artillery broke down the stone wall, which allowed the gunboats on the sea to approach and shoot. The fort defenses of the fortress completely collapsed. Now the gunboats are close enough to bombard them.

Fortunately for the Spaniards, after the defense of the fort was defeated, the shelling stopped. They still had muskets and light cannons in their hands. But the Spaniards felt vaguely hopeless, because they didn't know when the attack would stop, it was like hell.
"What did the native say?"

I don't know why, but when I woke up in the morning, there was an aborigine who wanted to see Wang Tong in the prisoner camp. This man was not young, and his complexion looked much paler than that of ordinary aborigines. Eighty-nine are local dignitaries, chiefs and other roles.

"My lord, the native said that my lord will be the king of this place in the future. If I want to take care of this side, I always need the help of the local natives. The blood debt of those Han people should be paid off after so many natives died. , if the Lord spares the lives of the rest of these people, they will be willing to be cows and horses."

The translator was also a pirate. These people have traveled to various ports and are proficient in local languages, which is not uncommon.

Wang Tong frowned, smiled sideways and said in a low voice:

"There are smart people everywhere. This native has a good brain to make such a gesture."

Sha Dacheng smiled, but didn't answer, because he knew that Wang Tong had more to say. As expected, Wang Tong waved his hand with a smile, and said:
"Chopped!"

The aborigine obviously knew Chinese, and looked up in surprise. The person behind him had already been chopped off with a knife, and the knife fell on the head, and the blood sprayed all over the ground. Wang Tong said with a smile:

"This is the truth, but our Ming Dynasty is not their Spain. There are few Spaniards, so we have to rely on you natives. We have a large number of Han people. Hundreds of thousands or millions will come here. If you don't kill all of you, how can we have our territory! "

All the people around Wang Tong were overwhelmed by these words, Wang Tong raised his voice with a smile, and said again:

"Today's general attack, catch up with all the native men, and accept the surrender of the Spaniards after exhaustion."

Everyone suddenly agreed and went to make arrangements. Instead, Han Tie who was following Wang Tong asked in a low voice:

"Grandpa, those white people killed so many of our Han people, and let them surrender just like that."

I didn’t care so much when I was young, and I also heard a lot about the Spaniards massacring Han people on the road. After arriving, I learned more about the truth from Bai Wu. It is inevitable that I am full of hatred in my heart. Patting Han Tie on the shoulder, said in a deep voice:
"Let them surrender, not let them live, prepare to fight!"

*******************
The various forces that followed Wang Tong gathered all available people, and even the gunboats at sea sent the sailors they could deploy to the shore through small boats and sampans.

Most of the cannons in the fortress could not be fired, and Wang Tong's cannons could be suppressed at any time, and the white flag had already been fired, so there was no long-range firepower, so the pockets of the Han people's armed forces were tightened a lot this time.

All the aboriginal men in the captive camp were captured, and no weapons were issued. They were all driven to the front. They didn’t form a team. They just shouted, and the drums beat, and you rushed forward. When the drums stopped, the Han people If you want to catch up, you will kill if you catch up, but if you rush into the fortress, you may still have a chance. As for weapons, just pick up whatever is on the way!
The natives all look haggard, don’t look at it for a few days, but the Han never let them have enough food, everyone is in a state of hunger and weakness, seeing children and the elderly are also driven over, what will happen to them, they probably I also understand in my heart.

But what can I do if I understand, the Han Chinese pirates who have recharged their batteries are all ready to kill people, not to mention those firearms that seem to be more sophisticated than white people, rushing in, maybe there is a glimmer of life.
The drums were beating, and the natives rushed towards the Spanish fortress exhausted and desperate.

"The Han people outside are using our hands to consume the indigenous people. If we kill all the indigenous people, we will have a chance to surrender."

Paul Luis also had blood on his body. At the end of yesterday's battle, he, the governor, also took part in hand-to-hand combat with a sword. Now all the Spaniards in the fortress are gathered together, and they are also preparing for a decisive battle. Maybe not a decisive battle, but it must be the last fought.

This Governor-General half a month ago was still sitting back home and dreaming of becoming a rich man with a hoarse voice and dusty face. This Paul Louis is not a child, and he also understands what might happen, but right now it is possible after all. There is a chance of life, he must seize it, his mentality is the same as that of the natives outside at this time.

Every white person who lined up in the fort has forgotten how they massacred the Han people a year ago, how desperate and helpless those kind-hearted Han people felt, and how happy these white people were.

The shouts outside were getting closer and closer, and the Spaniards also began to shout, waving their weapons and rushing out
It may not be appropriate to describe the natives, but it is just right to describe the Spaniards. When the natives, who are several times the size of the Spaniards, come into contact with them, those who were killed by muskets are nothing. It just crashes.

But they have no way to retreat. Behind them are the Han people who are approaching. The Han people are now no less than the natives in number, and they are also killing people. Only by rushing past those in front can they escape the ones behind.

The situation soon became that the Spaniards inside and the Han people outside killed the aborigines together, and the large number of aborigines was rapidly decreasing.

It is impossible not to die in the battle. The Spanish soldiers are fine. Many men who were pulled up temporarily lost both fists and four hands, and died under the knives and bamboo spears of the natives.

The battle didn't last long, and the Spaniards even retreated into the fortress, but the natives couldn't rush in anyway. Their spirit and will had completely collapsed, and they didn't even want to fight, they just knelt on the ground , Lying on the ground, paralyzed on the ground in a daze.

The horn blew, and the exhausted Spaniards thought that the Han people would fight with them next, but they didn't expect that the Han people who had just rushed back would retreat.

What's going on, I was wondering just now, but I heard thunder-like roars from the sea and from all around the fortress, and the artillery fire started.

The ships on the sea had hundreds of guns, and when they got close enough, they fired all at once. There were not many cannons on the shore, but they all fired.

The smoke and dust that just fell was being smashed up by the shells again, but the natives who were paralyzed on the ground were unwilling to get up, preferring to die like this. The remaining buildings in the fortress could not withstand such bombardment and began to collapse. Some people hid inside to cover , but was crushed to death by the collapsed building.

After three rounds of shelling, the shelling range was quiet, not even screaming in pain. In this era, the density of such shelling can already be described as astonishing.

*****************
"Xiao Zheng, when I go back this time, I will take out all the money I gave my son. Why do I have to build such big ships and install cannons, otherwise there is no way to mess around on the sea!"

There are also buildings outside the battlefield that have not been demolished, but they have built an earthen platform, a group of sea lords and wealthy merchants are on it, and their man Wang Tong is in command. Look left and right.

The big ships and giant cannons on the sea really impressed them too much. Seeing this scene, they all knew that there was really no way to compare themselves with Wang Tong.

"This kind of boat is the lifeblood of my family, can Duke Liao sell it to you?"

"Yes, I heard from a few people in Songjiang that as long as you can afford the money, and register in a few branches under the Duke of Liao and give you shares, you can buy it. I guess you can't buy such a big one, but Xiaoyi The number can also be."

"That's for buying. With this boat, we don't have to give them any face!"

These two people talked happily, and a fat man on the other side also interrupted and said:
"I was able to come here this time, but my family members still don't want it. Now it seems that I have come to the right place. In the current situation, if you don't follow the Liao Kingdom in the sea, I'm afraid there will be no way out in the future!!"

"To have a place in this Luzon, to be a local king, this life is not in vain"

Some people also said with fascination that they saw Wang Tong's fleet, saw Wang Tong's strength, and also saw the possibilities Wang Tong showed them. The ships are not as good as foreigners, but they can win with more, and they don't want to change anything, but after seeing everything in front of them, these pirate leaders know that they can't do without changes.

At this moment, a report came from the other side:
"Grandpa, the shelling is over!"

"The teams searched and entered, the natives were seriously injured and killed, and the slightly injured helped to carry them, and accepted the surrender of the Spaniards!"

Wang Tong gave the order loudly, the officers agreed loudly, and turned around to walk to the battlefield. This attitude of following orders made the onlookers admire. The officers did not go far, but Wang Tong added an order:
"Let the Spaniards throw away their weapons and come out in teams of 100 each!"
