Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 724 Fight to the death!Help!
Lin Lide stood on a pile of ruins, wiped the muddy water off his face, and shouted: "Boys of the Eighth League, Xiyi wants to drive us all to extinction, can we agree?"

"No!" The clay figurines raised their arms and shouted.

"Now that the Fanren are rushing in to slaughter our relatives, friends and neighbors, can we retreat?"

"No!" The clay figurine roared angrily.

"We Ming men were born to be bullied and oppressed by these barbarians and natives? No! Today, we will let these barbarians and natives show how powerful our good men of Ming are!"

After Lin Lide yelled, he jumped down from the ruins and rushed towards the Fanren with a yelling iron sword in his hand.

"Kill it!"

Lin Lide and other able-bodied clan elders and key members of the main surname led a large number of swordsman Minyong, and faced the Tufan who had invaded the ruins of the Eight Unions from all directions.

Hu Youcheng had already led the musketeers to ambush to an important place.

As for the tiger squatting cannon, it is useless in this kind of heavy rain-in fact, in the past few days of battles, in order to deal with the enemy's attack, the tiger squatting cannon has almost run out of ammunition, even the tiger squatting cannon is scrapped opened several doors.

Seeing Tufan's forward team rushing over, and the group with the most middlemen approaching, Hu Youcheng got up first and fired a shot.

Immediately, the gunmen who were ambushing here stood up in a row and fired two rows of guns.

I saw hundreds of natives fell down in response, which made the ranks of natives even more chaotic.

For a while, some people retreated, some rushed forward, and some rushed directly to Hu Youcheng's musketeer.

There are too many natives. Even if only a small number of natives choose to fight Hu Youcheng and others, there are hundreds of them.

Hu Youcheng knew that it was not wise to lead musketeers to fight hand-to-hand with Tufan, so he immediately withdrew to the depths of the ruins.

Just at this time Lin Lide came over with a brigade of swordsmen and blocked the chasing natives.

A fierce hand-to-hand battle began...
Although there are more than 3 Ming people in the Balian settlement, there are only more than [-] young and middle-aged men among them. .

However, not everyone is willing to stand up and fight against the Fanyi. A small number of people hid with their families at the beginning of their careers, trying to avoid the catastrophe.

In addition, in the past six days, three or four thousand people were killed or injured on Minyong's side, and now there are only four to five thousand people who can stand up to resist the Tufan attack, which is less than half of the people who attacked this time.

Coupled with the fact that the surrounding Spanish cannons fired a wave of explosive bombs from time to time, bombing the positions with more Minyongs, it made the situation faced by the Eighth Union Minyongs extremely difficult.

Even though many people were brave and fearless and rushed forward to fight the natives, they were still beaten and retreated as a whole.

In less than half an hour, Balian Minyong lost all of its outlying positions, leaving only half of the ruins.

At this time, the flintlock gun was no longer so useful, and Hu Youcheng also carried a big knife and participated in hand-to-hand combat with his excellent skills.

After repelling the wave of natives in front of them, seeing that the rain had not stopped, the water under their feet almost reached their calves. Many Ming people, old and weak, women and children had to get out of their hiding places.

Then he was brutally slaughtered by the natives.

Seeing this, Hu Youcheng couldn't help but point his sword at the sky, and cursed: "God thief! Do you have to cut me off?!"

The remaining dozen or so Jinyiwei and non-staff personnel behind him, as well as hundreds of Minyong, couldn't help showing sadness when they heard this.

If it wasn't for the sudden rainstorm, they could have relied on the trenches, bomb craters and even cellars under the ruins to deal with the enemy for a few more days, or even hold on for longer.

But the heavy rain changed the situation and drove them to a desperate situation.

Lin Lide walked over with one arm hanging, patted Hu Youcheng's shoulder with the other hand, and said, "Brother Hu, it's useless to scold God at this time. If we don't want to die, we have to fight the Fanyi bloody battle." in the end!"

Lin Lide said he was the elder of the clan, but in fact he was not too old, only 50 years old.

The rest of the elders are mostly in their 50s or [-]s—after all, they were the first to come to Manila ten years ago, so they cannot be too old.

Hu Youcheng is almost forty.

After several days of fighting, Lin Lide has formed a deep friendship with him, so they call each other brothers.

Hu Youcheng's eyes turned red, and he sighed: "Brother Lin, we are the ones who have troubled the folks of the Eighth League."

Lin Lide shook his head, "Brother Hu, please don't say that—you know that even without your Jin Yiwei, we were hoarding weapons in secret.

How could we be unprepared when Xiyi massacred us Ming people several times in Manila?
Besides, all these incidents happened because of that beast Lin Tianyou.If you have to talk about responsibility, the fault is also mine. "

"Fangou is attacking here again!"

Hu Youcheng and Lin Lide had no time to express emotion and remorse at the loud shout in front, and rushed forward with big knives in their hands.

The civilian warriors lacked training and fought in a disorderly manner, so they could only rely on them to lead the charge as a demonstration to boost morale.

However, before Hu Youcheng rushed forward this time, he was stopped by a person running from the side.

"Chen Baihu?" Hu Youcheng was surprised to see the person coming, "Why are you here?"

Although the fighting had been fierce in the past few days, Chen Yanfeng never showed up. Instead, he hid in a semi-subterranean secret room reinforced with cement, guarding the telegraph.

One is to squat and watch the telegrams sent from above.The second is to protect the telegraph, or destroy the telegraph as soon as it is necessary.

This task is much more important than Chen Yanfeng going outside to kill the enemy with Hu Youcheng.

Chen Yanfeng said: "The latest telegram from above shows that the vanguard fleet sent by the Nanyang Navy has entered Manila Bay!"

"Really?!" Hu Youcheng was overjoyed when he heard that, but worried that it was fake.

Chen Yanfeng nodded, "Of course it's true—no accident, they will soon have a battle with the Spanish warships in the bay, and they may even directly attack the port."

As if to confirm Chen Yanfeng's words, the roar of naval guns came from the direction of the bay in the next second!
First one.

Then there are many voices!
Hu Youcheng immediately raised his sword and shouted excitedly: "Folks of the Eighth Alliance! The Nanyang Navy of the Ming Dynasty has entered the bay, and the support of the imperial army will come soon!"

Just hearing the roar of naval guns from the bay, Lin Lide and other Manila expatriates were stunned for a moment. Only then did they hear Hu Youcheng's shout, and realized what the roar of naval guns represented.

Suddenly cheers!
Immediately, Lin Lide and other Minyong leaders shouted loudly——

"Folks, the imperial army is here, what are we afraid of? Kill Fangou!"

"Kill Fangou! Kill Xiyi!"

"Kill Fangou, kill Xiyi!"

"Kill ah-"

All of a sudden, the Eighth Alliance Minyongs, who were still desperate and cold all over, seemed to have been pumped with chicken blood. Their blood was boiling and their fighting spirit was high, shouting and rushing to kill the Fanren!
On the contrary, when the fans heard the sound of naval guns in the bay, they were in shock.

Among them, the leaders of the Fan people who knew Chinese were panicked when they heard the shouts of Hu Youcheng, Lin Lide and others.

These Fanren have also heard about how powerful Daming's army is, at least the leaders of the Fanren know it.

They were a little scared to fight because of the bravery of the Eight Alliance Minmin, but when they learned that the Ming army was coming to help, they all started to retreat.

The decisive leader of the Fanren immediately withdrew his tribe to the outside of the ruins of the Eight Unions.

Those hesitant leaders, because of a slight delay, let the Eight Union Minyong charge over, and were beaten back instantly.

On the other side, the Spaniards were even more flustered when they heard the sound of naval guns in the bay...
　First more.
