Chapter 510 The Spaniards naturally did not sit idly by, and dozens of their guns launched an artillery bombardment on the warships of the whole family army on the sea, and the batteries plus the army infantry field artillery were more than a hundred.More than 100 guns of large and small calibers opened fire at the same time, and the fire was dense and spectacular.However, the front-loading smoothbore gun is a whole generation behind the rear-loading rifled gun, and the range, power and accuracy are very different, and the fight is earth-shattering, but the vast majority of shells are flying all over the sky, and not even a single hair of the whole family army is injured.Of course, it was not without injury, a cannonball that hit the big luck actually flew to the sea more than 1,300 meters away, hit the auxiliary mast of the No. 13 Sea Shark warship, and smashed the mast, which was more than ten feet high, and by the way, caused one death and two injuries to the entire family army and navy.Quan Xu looked at the port with a calm face, the recruits were just this problem, and it was inevitable that they would be in a hurry.Fortunately, the preparations were completed, and the 16 main warships of the whole family army, 32 160 mm caliber long-barreled mortar guns, and 416 130 mm breech-loading rifled guns.Of course, if you count the rocket artillery, the fierce artillery fire smashed into Manila's ports and batteries like a storm, and the whole Philippines trembled in the roar of the god of war.The battery, which had been given high hopes by Coraquay, only lasted for the first round of shelling, and then it was completely muted.In this period, the fixed forts were not built with reinforced concrete fortifications, and this kind of shore defense batteries were similar to the artillery positions of the army, and even inferior to the artillery positions of the army in later generations.The army's artillery positions would avoid setting up positions around hard rocks, which would increase artillery casualties in the event of shelling, however, the Spanish artillery paid a heavy price for their stupidity.Of course, with just one pillar of incense, the Marines of the whole family army were responsible for starting the attack.You must know that the equipment of the Marine Corps of the whole family army is five and a half times, five or six punches, five or six squads with light machine guns, plus five or five heavy machine guns, even in the seventies and eighties of later generations, this kind of equipment is not outdated.In the face of this density of firepower, the more than 600 soldiers deployed in the port, plus more than 3,000 indigenous militants, completely stepped down without even waiting for the landing of the marines.With the landing of the first regiment of the 1st Marine Brigade and an infantry division in advance, the entire port fell into the hands of the whole army, and the infantry division that landed in advance, more than 200 people chased 3 or 400 Spaniards and more than 2,000 natives, and followed into the city of Manila.The ease of the battle was beyond Quan Xu's expectations."
Surround the city of Manila and don't let a single one escape!"
Quan Xu ordered: "Don't be stingy with shells, Ben Shuai has money!"
”At noon on the morning of November 24, the fifth year of Chongzhen's reign, the whole family army surrounded the city of Manila with the first infantry brigade and the first and second brigades of the marines.105 mm old field artillery, mortars, including rocket artillery, were placed outside the city.Quan Xu looked at a man covered in bruises in front of Lin Feng and said, "Is there no one of ours in Manila City!"
”"No, three days ago, the Ming Dynasty in the city has been killed, and only the sugar cane plantations or some scattered farms outside the city are still resisting!""
Hearing this, Ben Shuai was relieved!"
Quan Xu picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Indiscriminate attack, start now!"
”"Bombardment" The whole army concentrated the infantry artillery of the whole army, including the naval guns on the naval warships, a total of more than 600 artillery pieces and more than 27,000 rocket artillery, and began to shell the city of Manila.Quan Xu can be regarded as fighting the old book, howitzers, cannons, mortars, and rocket artillery are all used, and they bombard day and night, bombarding for three days in a row.On the morning of November 27, the fifth year of Chongzhen, Quan Xu walked into the ruined city of Manila, looked at the corpses piled up on the street like a mess, and watched the remnants of the natives or Spaniards being grabbed and cut off their heads like chickens, and were silent.As the governor's palace of the Spanish colony of the Philippines, according to Lin Feng, there were at least 107,000 people in Thang Long City before the war, including more than 4,000 Spanish soldiers and two or three thousand Spanish family dependents.A city with a population of nearly 110,000 people, even if it is placed in the Central Plains, can be regarded as a large and medium-sized city, however, in just three days, the city has become a dead city, and 100,000 people have all become ghosts under the sword.Beautiful Spanish women may have survived and become prostitutes, but their children, husbands, and parents-in-law were not so lucky and were all killed.Quanxu's conquest of Luzon was not to plunder their wealth, not to enslave them, but to take revenge, but also to change the land, let this land change its owner!
Every soldier was following the policy of keeping the land and not the people, and the vast majority of them would be killed, and only a small percentage would survive and be sold into slavery.Looking at the blood flowing all over the street, Quan Xu's eyelids jumped.He thought that these Chinese were as unbearable as written in the history books, but what he didn't expect was that these Chinese became ruthless, and even the whole family of soldiers was shocked.Although he liked war, he never liked such massacres, not at all.But if you don't like it, there's no way, this is a war for living space, and you can't tolerate the slightest mercy.Once a general is successful, there are still millions of people who have become dry bones, let alone a nation that wants to rise?
Mao Yuanyi seemed to see Quan Xu's unhappiness, and said helplessly: "Master Hou, the last general will send a military law team" "No, no!"
”Quan Xu's voice was a little strange: "This is a hostile land, if you want to gain a firm foothold, you must do this, otherwise it will be like the Ming army in Annan back then, the Ming army is not ruthless enough, and it will be driven out of Annan It's just that so many people say kill and kill, regardless of men, women and children, all of them are killed like chickens, I look a little uncomfortable."
Okay, it's uncomfortable to look at, then don't look at it, come on!
”"Please show me!""
Set it on fire!"
Quan Xu said very calmly: "Burn this place and burn it clean, if it becomes a plague, it will not be good!"
”People can't bury them like this, bones can still be dug up after hundreds of years of being buried in the ground, and the best way is to burn them to ashes.It's best to burn to ashes, and nothing will be left."
Help, help!"
A Spaniard screamed in panic in a strange tone, however, at this moment, a scrawny Chinese woman suddenly jumped out, picked up a stone, and frantically smashed the Spaniard.She screamed as she smashed: "Stoned you, I'll stoned you!"
”After only a few blows, the Spaniard's head was smashed to a bloody blur, and she was still smashing lifelessly, screaming as she smashed: "Stoned you, stoned you!"
”Quan Xu looked at this scene, sighed, and shouted, "He's dead!"
”The girl turned a deaf ear and continued to smash, smashing the Spaniard's head into the shape of an alien.Quan Xu was helpless and glanced at Yuan Zongdi.Yuan Zongdi had to pull her away: "Don't smash it, he's already ouching!"
”Before he could finish his sentence, the stone in the girl's hand made the most intimate contact with his forehead, and the skin opened and the blood suddenly fell.The girl's eyes were bloodshot, her delicate face was completely distorted, and she held the blood-covered stone high and smashed it at Yuan Zongdi's head: "I'll stone you to death!"
”Quan Xu looked at the girl and shouted: "He is dead, your revenge has been avenged!"
”The girl was obviously stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the street full of corpses, looking sluggish, for a long time, her thin shoulders shrugged, wow, tears gushed out, and she cried out heartbreakingly.Quan Xu looked at the soldiers of the whole family army around him and said, "There are still Spaniards who have not surrendered?"
”"Yes!""
Pull it out, and the natives, all hand it over to these Chinese, let them get angry!"
Quan Xu continued: "Let people count, the Chinese who died, remember, if one of our people dies, let his natives return with ten, not a hundred, and the natives of Manila are gone, go around and arrest them!"
”With Quan Xu's fluttering order, Luzon once again set off a bloody storm.In the family army camp outside Manila, Lin Feng led dozens of leaders of the Chinese Resistance Army: "We Luzon Chinese owe the great favor of Wuweihou, let's be human, we can't forget our roots!"
”Another leader of the Resistance Army, an old man in his seventies, Li Daxiong, had to cross the sea to Luzon because he had to kill people in his hometown of Guangzhou in his early years.He experienced the last Spanish massacre, and five of his seven sons died at that time.After twenty or thirty years of breeding, Li Daxiong is now full of children and grandchildren.Li Daxiong looked at his eldest grandson Li Yuanfu and said: "After our Li family, if there is still a descendant here, what does the Hou Ye want, even if he sacrifices his life, he must do it!"
”Lin Feng coughed and said, "Everyone, everyone, listen to me!"
”The leaders looked at Lin Feng: "Master Lin, please speak!"
”"This matter is too big, I'm afraid the court will also be shaken, this time the Hou Ye was entrusted by Lin to come over with a warship and gunboat to save the big guy!"
Lin Feng continued: "Yes, for all of us, Lord Hou's kindness is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, but the question is, what should we do next?"
”"What's next?""
Yes!"
Lin Feng said: "If the court blames it, won't the marquis dismiss the official and go to the knight?"
”Li Daxiong continued: "Old man, I lived for more than seventy years, and I survived four Ming emperors, and the old man knows a little bit, the Ming court and those who are officials have never treated us as human beings.If something like this happens in the future, I'm afraid that except for the whole marquis, no one will stand up for us!
”"That's what I'm talking about!"
Lin Feng said with a smile: "The officials of the Ming Dynasty all love money, and there is no money to settle the uneven matter, we Luzon Chinese should unite and protect the whole marquis, that is, to protect ourselves!"
”
