Chapter 762: Bombardment of the Royal City


Cao Wenzhao went all the way south, it was not that he couldn't hear or see anything, and some news quickly reached his ears.

Especially the news that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were driven away and even prepared to be slaughtered, Cao Wenzhao and others naturally caused a burst of anger after learning about it.

"Francois is really crazy!"

"The emperor is wise, he has long expected that these Xiyi harbor evil intentions and are incorrigible, so he prepared early and sent me and others to ask for it!"

"My lord, you don't have to be polite, let's go ashore, fight all the way, and kill all those white-skinned ghosts when we see them!"

"My lord, let's divide our troops and attack from three sides, and we won't let go of a white-skinned ghost!"

Coming to Daosheng, Liu Wentian was filled with righteous indignation, and he couldn't wait to rush forward now and give Francois a profound lesson!

Cao Wenzhao was also angry, at this time, these people from Xiyi still dared to treat Daming like this, they didn't know whether they were alive or dead!

He sat on the main seat, looked at Liu Wentian, came to Daosheng and the two, and said in a deep voice, "There's no need, isn't there no merchant in the royal city, just right, I don't look down on such a small city, tear it down and start over, and save some things!"

” As soon as Cao Wenzhao's murderous words fell, Liu Wentian's heart suddenly became even hotter, and he said in a deep voice: "What my lord said is that we will push back with cannons, people block and kill, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!"

” The news soon spread to the 5,000 soldiers of the fleet, and the soldiers were also extremely angry, and they asked for orders one after another, to kill the Franco, protect the merchants, and maintain the dignity of the emperor and the Celestial Empire!

Soon, it was the third day of Acuña's mouth, and early in the morning, he was standing in the royal city covered in gold, looking at the dozen or so captains in front of him, his expression was very relaxed.

Due to Okundo's losses, Acuña was able to mobilize from all over the country, and there were only 2,000 Filipino servants, and they had to guard all parts of the royal city, so there were only 800 people who could be used, and in front of him happened to be eight captains, two whites, and the rest were indigenous Filipinos.

Acuña looked relaxed, looked at the eight and smiled, "Are you ready?"

” There were whites, Filipinos, all shouting in unison, guns raised, and their faces were full of excitement.

The real purpose of the massacre was actually robbery, these people were very excited, they all knew that the Ming people were the richest, they all had the habit of hiding silver and gold, and each one of them was very rich!

Ankaya stood beside Acuña and said with an impassive face: "You should remember that Ming Guo was very angry before and issued a declaration of war, right?"

” Acuña's expression did not change at all, and while looking at the eight captains with a smile, he said: "Although the Ming Kingdom seems to be very powerful, they will not go to sea, they will only guard the mainland, overseas small islands, big islands, they don't care at all, and for these people who go to sea, they treat them like mustard, no matter how much they die, they will not care, let alone run to the sea thousands of miles away, dear, you don't have to worry about it at all......"

Ankaya blinked and didn't speak again.

Indeed, they have seen too many such things, these indigenous nations do not care about the desert islands outside, and they will not go to sea, as long as they do not threaten their land dominance, they will never care about the outside world!

Acuña looked at the rising sun and said, "Get ready to act, my warriors!"

At this time, they should get up. ” The eight captains immediately let out a strange scream, and then they all turned around, ready to gather their men and start a new round of 'conquest'.

Acuña felt extremely relieved, looked at the sun, and said meaningfully, "Ankaya, do you know?

Although Oquindo lost a lot of ships and men, it was quickly refilled, and there was still a surplus ......"

Ankaya knew that there was her share here, tilted her head slightly, and said with a charming smile: "If that's the case, I won't lock the door tonight." ” Acuña's heart suddenly felt like he had drunk ice water, and his whole body was about to float with refreshment.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty fleet, which had already smeared Manila Bay last night, is now quietly sailing towards the port, in the direction of the Royal City of Manila.

Liu Wentian, who came to Dao Shengdu, came with anger, stood at the bow of the ship, touched the cannon on his side, and stared coldly at the faintly visible city in front of him.

"These Xiyi ghosts are nothing more than that!"

Lai Dao ascended in the telescope, looked at the city of Manila, and snorted disdainfully.

These cities are generally short, and in the eyes of Daosheng, they are like turtle shells, without the majesty of the Ming Dynasty cities, and they can't withstand a few cannons.

Liu Wentian glanced at the sun and said directly: "Don't worry about him, first shell the shore with 400 guns, and transport another 200 guns ashore, bombing all the way!"

” Lai Daosheng was overjoyed, patted Liu Wentian's shoulder and said: "Usually you kid twist and pinch, this time I like it!"

” Liu Wentian slapped it away, turned around and left.

Lai Daosheng smiled, ordered the battleship to slow down, turn the muzzle, and prepare for shelling.

After waiting for a while, I saw Liu Wentian preparing the cannon and wanted to land on the shore, and suddenly shouted: "Liu Wentian, thief boy, I misread you!"

” Liu Wentian snorted, kept ordering people to prepare cannons, and said secretly in his heart: I twist and pinch, this head work of going ashore and entering the royal city must be mine!

At this time, some of the people on the other side who had been watching the ships that had been coming, when they got closer, saw clearly, and they were all startled, and a group of people shouted and screamed, and while they were doing defense, they sent people to inform the city.

The shore was already within range, and Lai Daosheng raised his hand and was about to open fire, but at this time, Cao Wenzhao came over, blocked it, picked up the telescope, and looked up.

Lai Daosheng was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord?

” Cao Wenzhao turned around in the telescope and said lightly: "Although there are not many people in it, if we can gather it, we don't have to look for it." ” Lai Daosheng immediately understood what Cao Wenzhao meant, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Liu Wentian, he had already arranged manpower, artillery, and small ships could surprise the landing at any time, and he couldn't help grinding his teeth for a while.

In the royal city, Acunia, who was burning in his heart and wanted to go to Ankara's room now, had just turned around when a white soldier hurried over with a panicked expression.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the Akito's fleet is coming!"

He roared urgently.

Acuña's face changed slightly, and he turned around sharply and said, "How many ships, how many people?"

"It's one thing to be sure that Mingren doesn't come, but when he comes, he is scared!

Oquindo is a Spanish general, thousands of people have been defeated, he only has some old and weak soldiers left, how to resist the Ming Kingdom?

The soldier was also very worried, and said: "There are more than 100 ships, although the number is unknown, but the momentum is violent, there are hundreds of cannons......"

Acuña couldn't help but shake his neck, his eyes wide open and blinking.

More than a hundred ships, at least a few thousand people, if it were to defeat Okundo's Ming army, they would be finished here.

Ankaya stood not far from Acuña's side, just looking at him quietly.

Acuña glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Pass my order, mobilize all the soldiers to the port, and snipe the Akito immediately!"

” "Yes!"

With Acuña's order, the 800 people who were originally going to slaughter the merchants of the Ming Dynasty quickly left the city and turned to the port, and the royal city was also in chaos, and the soldiers went up to the city, set up their spears, and pointed them in the direction of the port.

Ankaya looked at Acuña and said, "What now?"

” Acuña didn't panic, looked at her and smiled: "Don't worry, let's see." ” Ankaya gave him a deep look and turned to leave.

This time there was no grace, and the speed was a few points faster than usual.

Acuña's eyes moved slightly, and he snorted secretly: "Slut!

” After saying that, he also hurried away, summoned the servants, and said urgently, "Quick, pack up everything, the ship is ready!"

” The servant immediately understood, turned around and went to prepare.

The Philippines is surrounded by the sea, and when the Ming people first came, they had a way to escape.

Just as Acuña was about to soften, an explosion woke everyone up.

Boom, boom, boom Then there was the roar of cannons, the whole royal city was trembling, and billowing smoke rose, which was terrifying to look at from a distance.

Acuña looked at it, his brows furrowed, and his expression was ugly, but he still didn't flee immediately, and he was still waiting.

Ankaya stood at the window on the second floor, looking in the direction of Manila Bay, her expression calm, she was not as prepared as Acuña was to be soft and ready to run.

On the sea of Manila, Lai Daosheng commanded the fleet and shouted angrily: "Open fire!"

Fire!

” He wants to pour all the anger of not being able to grab the first credit on these Franciscans.

The location of the ambush of the Francophile people was within the range of the Ming Dynasty cannons, the fortifications were simple, there was not much shelter at all, more than 200 cannons fired in unison, and in an instant it was a miserable scream, calling for a lot of wilderness, I don't know how many people were blown up.

The whites mingled among the Filipinos, terrified, screaming and retreating.

Liu Wentian sat on the small ship and quickly approached, and the musketeers and arrow artillery quickly landed on the shore and pursued forward.

The artillery behind pushed the cannon ashore with difficulty, and followed behind, and the muzzle of the cannon could not wait.

Bang bang bang The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty caught up, and the spears kept firing, chasing the Francos and their servants.

Boom, boom, boom It didn't take long for the artillery of the Ming Dynasty to fire again, this time directly at the royal city!

The royal city was not large, full of Spanish or Roman-style buildings, not solid, and when the cannonballs fell, they were immediately blown to pieces, trembling, and then collapsed one after another, and the smoke and dust were like a tide.

The number of artillery in the Ming Dynasty was increasing, and so were the shells, and more than two hundred shells were scattered everywhere, and it didn't take long to blow up this decades-old royal city beyond recognition, with thick smoke billowing everywhere, firelight everywhere, and dust flying.

The people in the royal city, who were still unaware of the situation, were taken aback by the sudden bombardment, and the bishops and judges braved the artillery fire to come to the official residence of Acuña.

Acuña didn't expect Ming Junhui to come so quickly, and while preparing for the back road, he pretended to appease.

Ankaya ignored Acuña and stood at the window, quietly looking in the direction of the city gate.

The artillery of the Ming Kingdom is indeed as Okundo said, with a long range and great power, and their defenses have no power to counterattack under such artillery, but they can only hold on for how long.

The artillery fire of the Ming Kingdom became more and more dense, and the power became more and more powerful, like a carpet, slowly spreading towards where they were, and everywhere they passed, there was rubble!

The rumbling of cannons, the trembling of the ground, the billowing smoke, and the pungent smell of gunpowder all indicate that Ming Guo has declared war with Spain this time, and will not give up easily!

Acuña had already run out of the mansion with a few men, and hurried towards the south, where he was already preparing his ship at a dock not far away!
