The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 79 The Spaniards lose again!

Due to the blockage of the river, the boats were crowded together.

The flat-bottomed boat became a living target, and the natives and Spanish soldiers on board were slaughtered like livestock by the guns and artillery of the Liberation Army.

Under the firepower of the Liberation Army, broken corpses fell on the deck, blood smeared the deck, and the broken organs made the deck sticky.

From time to time, a few corpses fell into the river and were wrapped in the river and flowed down the river.

Not long after, the blood stained the river red!

Remnants of limbs and broken arms were everywhere, and the screams and wailing of the wounded continued one after another.

"Jump into the river, jump into the river!"

"Jump into the river, don't stay in the boat!"

"Damn Chinese, I want to kill them all!"

"..."

The Spaniard was constantly beaten, or collapsed, or cursed.

Indigenous or Spanish soldiers kept jumping into the water to avoid the bombardment and firepower of the Liberation Army.

As soon as someone jumped into the water, he was swept downstream by the river, and it was unknown whether he would be drowned.

Some jumped to the upstream direction, and because the river was blocked, they couldn't even escape.

Struggling and thrashing in the river.

Zhu Hongyu received Shi Yongxin's notice in advance, and sent troops to attack the iron chain blocking the river.

The purpose is very simple, one is to reinforce and prevent the enemy from landing successfully!

The second is to capture prisoners!
Two hundred relief troops lined up on the bank in a tight formation of three rows, loaded their muskets level, and aimed at the Spanish soldiers on the deck of the fleet in the river.

boom!Boom!

Smoke is spreading!

Amidst bursts of intense musket fire, the enemy troops on the deck screamed, and there were more casualties.

People kept falling to the ground to die tragically, and were shot into a hornet's nest by muskets.

More and more Spaniards and natives jumped into the river, trying to avoid fire!
The Liberation Army quickly turned their guns and fired salvos at the enemies in the river.

Crackling gunshots sounded one after another, and the screams became more and more tragic.

The indigenous and Spanish soldiers in the water swam desperately towards the shore and struggled to get ashore.

It's just that they had just landed when they met the Liberation Army melee soldiers wearing plate armor and holding steel shields and knives.

Most people choose to kneel and surrender very wisely!

Those who resisted to the end were all slaughtered without mercy.

Turned into a headless corpse!
The blood mixed with the river silt on the bank, turning into a veritable blood mud.

……

In the fierce gunfire, the Spaniards' second attack was repelled.

Their attacking force suffered heavy casualties, with hundreds of corpses left behind.

The Liberation Army also captured two hundred prisoners of war one after another, among which there were dozens of Spaniards.

After paying extremely heavy casualties, the Spaniards' second attack failed.

Colonel Robin had an ugly expression on his face. He looked at the battlefield strewn with corpses in the distance, and kept sucking in air.

This kind of strategically located bastion is really too difficult to attack!

After pondering for a moment, Colonel Robin turned his head and gave instructions to Roger beside him.

"Rogeoff, you personally lead the team back to Manila, and let Manila send in some heavy artillery to attack the city."

"Otherwise, no one can do anything to this bastion built by the rebels!"

Their casualties were so heavy that even the Spanish soldiers were killed and captured two or three hundred times.

Not to mention the natives!
The corpses that almost filled the open space in front of the bastion were probably indigenous.

And how many casualties did they cause to the Liberation Army?
Even if there were minor or serious injuries, would there be 30 people in total?
Colonel Robin felt an inexplicably familiar déjà vu now.

The current scene is like the aborigines attacking the bastion built by the Spaniards. There are countless casualties among the aborigines, but few casualties can be caused to the Spaniards.

Colonel Robin used to laugh at the aborigines for their overreach, and that the aborigines were bravely dying...

But now, the positions have been switched, and the Spaniards are in the offensive position.

In the past, he laughed at how happy the natives were when they bravely died, but now they are so desperate.

Now Colonel Robin can only pray that the heavy siege artillery brought from Manila can hit the bastion of the Liberation Army.

Otherwise, the Liberation Army will really be incurable!
The Spanish ruling order in Manila will face great challenges.

Roger took the order to go, ready to take people out of the mountain to seek help from Manila.

……

In the camp, Zhu Hongyu held Shi Yongxin's hand tightly, shook it vigorously, and said.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"You were able to repel the Spaniards twice, Company Commander Shi, and you deserve it!"

Shi Yongxin shook his head and said.

"The victory of this battle is all due to the meritorious command of the general, and the subordinates dare not claim credit!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.

"When this battle is over, our Liberation Army will expand the battalion-level units, and you will be the battalion commander!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yongxin knelt down on one knee and said.

"My subordinates thank you General for promotion!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded, and then spoke.

"Send an order to change the defenders on the bastion. Shi Yongxin will lead his troops back to the camp to guard, and transfer the rest to garrison the bastion."

The reason why Zhu Hongyu gave such an order was to let the recovery army take turns to fight.

The main purpose is to let each department have one to go to the battlefield and experience what is called a real war.

Because this process is the most important experience for recruits to veterans, none of them!

With the bastion in place, the difficulty of defense is not too great. In addition, the camp can deploy manpower at any time to provide reinforcements to avoid accidents.

Zhu Hongyu didn't want to let go of this great opportunity for the recruits of the Liberation Army to take turns to see the world.

Chen Wenbin stood up and asked.

"General, how to deal with those prisoners of war?"

Zhu Hongyu spoke without the slightest hesitation.

"Anyone who is injured, as long as the injury affects his work, will be executed. We don't have so many medicinal materials and manpower to waste on treating prisoners of war."

"Control those who are not injured first, and starve them a few times to save them the strength to rebel!"

Chen Wenbin took the order and went.

Now Zhu Hongyu is the only civil servant in his hands, and he is responsible for most of the logistical affairs of the Liberation Army.

He is also responsible for the management of prisoners of war.

……

Crocodile Tribe!

The crocodile tribe is located in a clearing on the mountainside, and the tribe camp is surrounded by a circle of giant trees that are used as a fence.

In the camp, shacks, thatched huts, and wooden houses are scattered in a mess.

The most central position is a huge altar, and next to the altar is an obviously more elegant wooden house.

That is the residence of the leader, and it also serves as the place where the elders of the tribe discuss their affairs.

Sanchez, the leader of the crocodile tribe, sat on the main seat, glanced around, and said.

"According to information, the red-haired people's siege team has entered the mountain and is fighting fiercely with the Chinese in the direction of the river valley."

"How should I deal with this?"

"It is to sit back and watch the development of the situation. After the Chinese are wiped out by the Spaniards, we will go to the river valley to see if we can get some unexpected gains."

"Or do it now and help the Spaniards attack the Chinese camp together?"

Sanchez didn't think the Liberation Army could withstand the Spaniard's attack at all.

Therefore, even if the relationship between the Restoration Army and their tribe is not bad, Sanchez has no plans to help the Restoration Army deal with the Spaniards.
