The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 89 The Third Attack Failed

If the situation was extremely critical and the military strength was really low, Zhu Hongyu would not have arranged for the old and weak, women and children to only do these things.

When it's really a critical moment, let alone women and the elderly, even children have to step up!

Because this is a war of life and death!

Because, if the recovery army is defeated in this battle, no one in the entire camp will survive!
Even the Chinese in Luzon will be slaughtered by the Spaniards again!
……

On the other side, the artillery of the downstream turret had cooled down and was ready to fire.

boom!boom!boom!
The three cannons were loaded with shot and fired at full force.

Dense shells shot towards the Spanish musket array.

puff!puff!puff!

This is the sound of a shotgun piercing a human body.

The Spaniard's musketeer array was emptied in a large area in an instant.

The Spanish Musketeers, who were struggling to support, collapsed the moment they heard the cannons of the Liberation Army!
They dropped the weapons in their hands, turned around and fled with panic and despair on their faces.

The artillery of the Liberation Army is like the last straw that broke the camel's back!
The sound of rumbling guns directly collapsed the morale of the Spanish musketeers!
The Spanish musketeers had just collapsed, and the Pampanga people who were forced into the battlefield by them also collapsed.

The army was defeated in an instant!
In the entire river valley, there are crowded and fleeing soldiers everywhere.

Pampanga, Hispanic, Aboriginal, mestizo, white people make no difference at this time!
People crowded together, blocking the narrow road, and no one could escape.

From time to time, someone was pushed to the ground, and was trampled into a pulp by thousands of feet!

Finally, someone couldn't bear to swing a knife!
The Spaniards and Pampangans who collapsed and fled on the battlefield were in a mess, screaming, wailing, and cursing kept ringing.

Cannibalism begins!

The sound of knives cutting into flesh and blood, and the wailing of people dying, were extremely ear-piercing.

People continued to fall under the civil strife, and the chaos on the battlefield became even worse.

After firing two more rounds of cannonballs, the artillery of the Restoration Army replaced the cannonballs with solid shells, and fired at the Spanish and Pampangans who were making a mess on the battlefield.

Solid cannonballs flew randomly among the crowd, taking away stumps and broken arms wherever they passed!

The continuous shelling, like adding a basin of cold water to hot oil, greatly exacerbated the chaos.

……

In the confusion, the Spanish attack on the downstream bastion failed.

The attacking troops were stunned, like the ebbing tide, and quickly withdrew.

The gunners of the Liberation Army in the downstream bastion fort turned their guns and aimed at the Iglots who were attacking the camp.

boom!Boom!

The sound of cannons rang out one after another, and the shells headed towards the Iglott formation as if they didn't need money.

The upper and lower bastions, as well as the forts on the walls of the camp, fired together, forming a crossfire encircled on three sides.

The Iglots who were attacking the Restoration Army's camp were attacked in turn!

The casualties are getting heavier and heavier!
A person beside Hei Li couldn't help but suggest to him.

"Leader, let's withdraw, we can't hold on anymore!"

"The Spaniards couldn't bear the casualties and retreated, we can't continue!!"

The black lizard's eyes were red and he roared loudly.

"We have offended the Chinese very much this time. If we can't eliminate them this time, what should we do if the Chinese want to retaliate when the Spaniards retreat?"

The man continued to argue.

"If we want to guard against Chinese retaliation, we should preserve our strength!"

"If the warriors in the tribe don't suffer many casualties and our strength still exists, the Chinese will feel apprehensive about our strength and may not dare to retaliate against our sneak attack."

"But if we suffer heavy casualties under this city, and all the warriors in the tribe die, only women, children, old and weak are left, then our tribe will not only face revenge from the Chinese!"

This man's words seemed to have moved Hei Li, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Withdraw, withdraw now!"

Although the Giant Wood Tribe and other tribes are all Igrots, the naked jungle law is followed in this mountain forest.

If the giant wood tribe suffers heavy losses, other tribes will never miss this great opportunity to annex the giant wood tribe!

Following the order of the Black Lizard, the Igrots headed by the Giant Wood Tribe also began to withdraw from the battlefield.

The Liberation Army won another victory, and the camp and the bastions upstream and downstream were quickly flooded by waves of cheers.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"The Restoration Army is all victorious, the Great General is all victorious, and the Great Ming is all victorious!"

"..."

Zhu Hongyu stood at the top of the wall, with a resolute face and sharp-edged cheeks.

The breastplate on his body reflected the blazing sun, his figure was tall and straight, and his back was as straight as a spear.

Just standing there, it seems that the whole world can be carried on the shoulders.

All eyes focused on him, Zhu Hongyu was not nervous, but raised his right hand and shouted loudly.

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

The crowd responded in unison.

"Great general wins!!!"

Zhu Hongyu shouted again.

"The Restoration Army is victorious!"

The crowd responded in unison.

"Eliminate the Tartars and restore China; rebuild Ming Dynasty and revive China!!"

The Liberation Army won again, and the morale of the whole army boiled like boiling water.

……

Spaniards camp!
The morale of the victorious Liberation Army was boiling like boiling oil, but the morale of the Spaniards who failed to attack again was extremely low.

Throughout the camp, dejected and frustrated Spanish musketeers can be seen everywhere.

The wailing and screaming of the wounded continued continuously.

It also greatly affected the morale of the Spaniards!

This was only the situation in the Spaniards' camp. In the camp of the Pampangans next door, the atmosphere was even worse.

If the Spaniards were merely demoralized, the Pampangans were almost hopeless.

Many Pampanga natives even looked at the Spaniards with hatred in their eyes.

The atmosphere is very wrong!
Colonel Robin was very keenly aware of this, and in order to avoid accidents, he directly opened his mouth and ordered a meeting.

After the tribal leaders of Pampanga and Iglot arrived, Robin stood up and spoke.

"Several consecutive offensive failures are due to a problem with my command. I shouldn't have ordered a reckless attack on the rebel fortifications!"

"I will do a self-reflection on this, and when I return to Manila, I will submit my resignation to the Governor-General."

"I will be solely responsible for this defeat!"

"Of course, the Governor's Office will definitely not sit back and watch the rebels continue to grow, and will continue to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress them until the rebels are completely wiped out."

"Before the reinforcements from the Governor's Palace arrive, I need all of you to work together to encircle the rebels in the river valley to prevent the rebels from growing bigger."

Robin opened his mouth to take responsibility for the defeat on himself, and wanted to use this method to resolve the rift between the Pampanga people and the Governor's Mansion.

Avoiding the Pampanga people who suffered heavy losses in this battle from the Governor's Palace made the tension in Manila even worse!
