Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 567: Invasion of the Ming Fleet
"Bang bang..."

Suddenly there was a gunshot, and dozens of Ming people and aborigines were shot down by the colonists almost at the same time.

After discovering that the Spanish soldiers were shooting, the five hundred Chinese selected by Zhan Zhao on the wooden wall immediately shot at the Spaniards:
"Bang bang bang..."

There was another burst of gunfire, and the assembled Spanish colonial soldiers who had just fired were shot dead by the condescending gunmen on the wooden wall.

"Quickly withdraw."

Taking advantage of this time, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao immediately asked the Chinese to retreat. If they don't retreat now, once the Spanish soldiers rush up, it will be very difficult for them to leave.

In this way, under the cover of 200 gunmen, the Chinese quickly retreated within the wooden wall, but more than [-] people died in battle.

Of course, the casualties of the aborigines were even greater. From the beginning to now, the more than 6 aborigines have suffered almost [-] casualties.

If it wasn't for the Spanish colonization in the rear, if they weren't always thinking about the money and women of the Chinese, these murderous natives would have run away long ago.

Most of the Chinese who retreated to Liu's Manor were driven back to the inner house by Zhan Zhao and others, and asked them to take care of the injured and try to bandage the wounds by the way.

Zhan Zhao knew that there could not be so many people gathered in the courtyard. Once the Spaniards opened fire, the casualties would be immeasurable.

Before the wooden wall was breached, they returned to where they had been.

After setting everyone up, Zhan Zhao immediately had the flintlock checked. Now that the grenades have been used up, everything depends on the flintlock.

In the past, flintlock guns were used too frequently without interruption, and many barrels had problems. Now those flintlock guns with deformed barrels must be abandoned.

This is also for the sake of everyone's safety, otherwise once the flintlock explodes, it will reduce the number of people in non-combat, which is not worth it.

After some inspection, only [-] flintlocks were still in good condition. This is also because they were used by novices and the number of shots was infrequent.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the more than 2000 Chinese in the courtyard. They discussed it and decided to select [-] people with good marksmanship from these people to use the flintlock, so that the flintlock can be used to the greatest extent.

Originally, there were 500 people, but 300 people were quickly picked out. In this way, the 800-member Musketeer Team was established, and they were the patron saints of the Liu Family Manor.

As soon as this side was ready, Leiden's order was conveyed, and three thousand Spanish soldiers rushed up to drive the natives.

This time the situation became serious immediately, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Jin Yiwei led [-] gunmen, holding flintlock guns in full force.

Seeing them come within flintlock range, they immediately opened fire, targeting the Spanish soldiers in the crowd.

Because the Ming Dynasty's flintlock guns were all system-improved, and their range was farther than that of the Spanish flintlock guns, they did cause certain casualties to the colonial soldiers at the beginning.

But after all, they are all colonists who have experienced many battles. Not only are they rich in combat experience, but they are also well-trained.

Under the cover of the aborigines, they finally came within range of their flintlock guns and began to shoot at the Ming people.

The colonists, who had a huge advantage in numbers, couldn't raise their heads when they fought for a while, and only Jin Yiwei could shoot against them.

Spanish soldiers came under the cover of natives to enter the range of their own flintlock guns.

Now that the aborigines have retreated immediately after the war, they are also worried that using the aborigines as a shield will cause the aborigines to rebel.

Zhan Zhao led the Ming people to rely on the cover of the wooden wall to fight against the Spanish colonists, and it was difficult to defeat Zhan Zhao and the others in a short time.

The flintlock lead bullets could not penetrate the wooden wall at all, and only left countless craters on the wooden wall.

Leiden did not and did not expect this group of Chinese to be so difficult to deal with. After seeing more than a dozen Spanish soldiers fell, he immediately became furious:
"Come on, go back immediately and bring the cannon. I will bombard these dogs."

"Yes"

……

At this time, on the sea outside Manila, more than 20 ironclad warships of the Ming Dynasty were sailing at full speed to the port of Manila.

Dozens of huge chimneys were emitting thick smoke, which stunned the observers on the Spanish warship, and hurriedly reported to Captain Moras:

"Report...Report to Colonel, Daming's armored battleship is here, like a monster."

Moras' expression changed, and he quickly grabbed the binoculars and ran up to the deck, only to find that the iron-clad warship flying the Daming Dragon flag was approaching quickly.

The hands of Moras holding the binoculars couldn't help trembling slightly. This was the first time he had seen such a large warship, and he really didn't know how it was built.

But no matter what, it is impossible to turn around and flee without firing a shot. Behind them is Manila, and there is no retreat at all.

"Sure enough, as the Governor expected, the Ming Fleet is really not simple. No wonder it was able to take down Batavia and Malacca. It's so awesome."

Moras is too difficult, no matter how powerful the Deming battleship is, they have to give it a go, otherwise they will give Manila to Deming for nothing.

"Come here, send an order to prepare for battle."

"Yes"

The six Spanish battleships immediately raised their fighting flags and lined up on the sea, preparing for an artillery battle with the Ming team.

The large fleet that came was none other than the Ming Fleet, led by the naval governor Zheng Chenggong himself, and Zhu Youjian, son of the Great Ming, was also sitting in the luxurious cabin with his eyes closed.

After Zheng Chenggong received the report, he wanted to ask Zhu Youjian for his opinion.

"Your Majesty, we are here."

"Oh"

Zhu Youjian opened his eyes and looked at the port of Manila, and found that it was a bit of a mess here, and it couldn't be compared with the port of Batavia. The six warships were not small, even larger than the Dutch warships.

"Is there any movement in the city? Qinglong Cao Zhengchun, do you have any information about the people you sent out?"

The two hurried forward to salute:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei has already fought against the colonists in Liu's house, so it should be fine for the time being."

Zhu Youjian became anxious when he heard this:

"The city is already fighting. We need to break through the city of Manila as soon as possible to support them, concentrate our firepower to attack a warship, sink all of them and land quickly."

"According to the order."

"Order that three warships besiege a colonist warship and sink it directly without taking any prisoners."

"Yes"

With Zheng Chenggong's order, the twenty ironclad warships changed into formation and directly surrounded the colonists in a U-shaped attack formation.

The Spanish flagship Santiago was on the observation post, and soon discovered the unusual operation of the Ming fleet, and immediately reported to Moras:
"The colonel is in trouble. We are surrounded by warships of the Ming army. Let's retreat!"

"Snapped……"

"Sanima, turn around and run away without firing the gun. Is this still my Spanish Royal Navy? Load the shells and let the Ming army taste the power of my Franji cannon."

"Yes"

"Boom"

The sentry turned around and just took a few steps, when there was a deafening cannon sound, and a solid bullet hit the sentry, and the sentry, who was still talking just now, instantly turned into two pieces of rotten meat.

The solid bullets then continued to roll forward and stopped after crushing several soldiers, scaring Raiden into crawling under the table.

But the cannons didn't stop, they were still bombarding the six colonial warships

"Boom"
