The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 88

A large number of Iglots gathered under the city wall, holding up long ladders to attack.

The Liberation Army changed the artillery from solid bullets to shotguns!
That Fran cannon also began to roar!
Gunpowder smoke fills the air and cannons rumble!
Under the city wall of the Restoration Army camp, densely packed corpses were poured out.

The sound of explosions from Zhentianlei also continued to sound, and the flames and gunpowder smoke continued to explode.

Under the city wall, the indigenous archers kept bending their bows and nodding their arrows!
From time to time, soldiers of the Restoration Army were hit by arrows. Fortunately, they were wearing armor, and the bows and arrows used by the natives were all poor hunting bows, so they did not cause too many casualties.

However, Zhu Hongyu also got the bitter fruit of selling ironware at will!

The armament of the Iglot people is obviously much better than that of the Pampanga people!
Although the bows they use are crude hunting bows, most of the arrows are iron arrows.

The ironware they bought from the Liberation Army some time ago are now in use.

But if you want to ask Zhu Hongyu if he regrets it?
the answer is negative!

He did sell ironware to the Igrotites, so that the Iglotts took the ironware to attack the Liberation Army.

However, in this "whatever you want" deal, the Liberation Army also obtained a large amount of various urgently needed materials.

If it weren't for these Iglots who helped him collect so many supplies, the Liberation Army might even have a problem with food supply now, and it would be impossible for the muskets and artillery to shoot at all without worrying about the consumption of gunpowder.

Therefore, everything has two sides!

Everything depends on whether the effort is worth comparing with the gain. You can't easily define the right and wrong of a thing!
The artillery in the fort was firing at full force, and the cannonballs were firing non-stop.

The crackling gunshots made a mess!
The Iglots who were attacking the city kept falling down and turned into corpses.

On the other side, the forts on the upper and lower reaches of the river noticed the movement on this side of the camp.

The downstream forts had to deal with the attacks of the Pampanga people and the natives, and there was no way to intervene.

But the upstream fort has never had a chance to fire, and they finally saw a chance to make their own use of it, so naturally they would not let it go.

boom!boom!
The two cannons on the downstream bastion battery fired, and the two shells were fired at the Iglots who were attacking the camp.

The charge of the artillery was reduced, and the shells landed tens of meters away from the Iglotts' formation.

The shells rolled and spun forward on the ground!

Splash a lot of sand!

Then it stopped a few meters in front of the Iglots array, and the kinetic energy carried by the shells was completely consumed.

boom!boom!
Not long after, there were two more cannon shots!
The two shells headed towards the Iglotts. After the test firing just now, the accuracy of the shells was guaranteed, and they fell into the crowd of the Iglotts mercilessly.

The shells spun and rolled, and the stumps and broken arms flew everywhere they passed!
The two shells killed six or seven people in front and back, and the kinetic energy was finally exhausted after plowing a bloody ditch in the crowd.

The shell was covered with blood and broken limbs, and it made a shallow crater in the ground, and it never moved again.

Just like the Pampanga people and the Spaniards were blocked under the bastion by the Restoration Army, the Iglot people were also unable to open the situation under the walls of the Restoration Army camp.

Facing the towering city walls of the Liberation Army, intensive musket salvos, continuous explosions of thunder, and double firepower from the city walls and bastion forts.

The weapons that the Iglots used to attack the city were only long ladders, bows and arrows!
It is impossible for such a simple weapon to really threaten the safety of the Liberation Army's camp.

The sound of gunfire and explosions sounded one after another. The battle looked lively, but it was just a unilateral massacre of the Iglot natives by the Liberation Army.

Although there are occasional casualties on the Liberation Army's side, it doesn't affect the overall situation!

Hei Li looked at the towering, hard, seemingly immovable city wall in front of him, and the expression on his face gradually showed a trace of regret.

He feels so stupid now, really stupid!

Without getting enough benefits, he recklessly brought his clansman into a war with no hope in sight!
The Spaniards were beaten to death in front of the fortifications of the Liberation Army. You can imagine how difficult the fortifications of the Liberation Army are.

Where did he get the courage to plunge headlong into this pit with his own people?

Seeing his clansmen being killed continuously, the blood softening the ground under the city wall, the expression on Hei Li's face became more and more desperate.

"damn it!"

"damn it!"

"damn it!"

"Attack, keep attacking, don't stop!"

"Kill!"

Although Hei Li felt sorry for the casualties of his clansmen, he could only continue to order his clansmen to launch an attack regardless of the casualties.

The Igrots of several tribes such as the Jumu tribe continued to gather under the city wall, and then retreated with heavy losses under the blows of thunder, muskets and artillery, and then gathered again, and were repelled again...

They keep giving their fresh lives one after another, but they get nothing!
Seeing the heavy losses of his clansmen, Hei Li couldn't order his clansmen to withdraw, and felt extremely regretful.

Not that he was loyal to the Spaniards.

It was their surprise backstab today, which had already offended the Liberation Army terribly.

If this battle cannot be won and the Liberation Army is wiped out, the Spaniards will pat their buttocks and withdraw from the forest at most.

The Liberation Army must be powerless to retaliate against the Spaniards!
But what about them?

Their tribe is in the forest, and the location of the tribe is not far from the camp of the Restoration Army. The Restoration Army wants to take revenge, and they can't escape even if they want to.

Once the Spaniards retreat, they will face the revenge of the Liberation Army alone.

The consequences are self-evident!

Therefore, Black Lizard must not retreat. Since he has chosen to stand in line, he must not change his position.

Now he can only pray that on his side, he can hold back a certain amount of troops from the Restoration Army, and then let the Spaniards open up the situation in the direction of the downstream bastion.

This is what the black lizard thinks now!

……

The cannons are rumbling on the battlefield!
There are more than a thousand recovery troops, eight or nine hundred Spaniards, four thousand Pampanga people, and three or four thousand Igrote people.

Tens of thousands of people crowded in the small river valley, fighting fiercely.

Shouts of killing resounded throughout the valley, and the river was already stained red with blood.

Gunpowder smoke filled the entire valley, and the smell of blood was tangy.

I don't know how many people fell in front of the bastion and city wall of the Liberation Army. The corpses that fell first had been trampled into a pulp by their own people.

The internal organs and flesh and blood have long been indistinguishable!
Zhu Hongyu personally stood on the city wall to direct the battle, mobilize troops, and transport the wounded.

He didn't go forward to fight in person, because it's not yet that time!
Although the current battle situation is fierce, he does not need to take the risk himself.

Even if Zhu Hongyu just stood on the city wall and did nothing, it could greatly boost the morale of the Liberation Army.

Although the battle is fierce, the recovery army is not in danger now.

The best example to prove this point is that the family members of the Liberation Army are still in the safe area of ​​the city doing work such as caring for the wounded, transporting supplies, and burying pots and cooking for the army.
