Chapter 104: Nanyang Storm 13: Epilogue(1/2)
Three regiments of the Truchin Army have already set up positions outside the Turkish army, with a large number of portable mortars and short-barreled artillery placed on them. In the distance, cavalry are roaming.
The Chinese of the Eighth Company suddenly began a counterattack against the Turkish army. Truchen cavalry were also present in every counterattack. Curio knew that the situation was over, so he prepared to break out to the south.
Tens of thousands of people carried knives, kitchen knives, hoes, shovels, and wooden sticks and swarmed southward. Before that, they had known that the Truqin warships had blocked the entire Pasig River and wanted to cross.
Or swimming across the canal is no longer possible.
Curio's farm was originally on the north side of the Pasig River, but now that he can't cross the river, he can only retreat to the south first and then worry about it.
Naturally, he knew about the arrival of the Truchens early on, but according to Koichiro Kawashima, the Spaniards would soon make peace with the Truchens, and then there would be nothing to do with the natives, so they would continue to stay in the position.
Up.
But now the situation is different. The Truchen people are going crazy. Instead of attacking Manila City, they are inciting the Chinese to attack them!
He also wanted to counterattack, but relying on his numerical advantage, most of the people who rushed forward were Chinese who also had simple weapons in their hands. There were not many Truqin troops on horseback, but for the sake of safety, he ran south.
Because there is water on all sides near Manila, there is only one passage from the south leading to Calamba. If we miss the opportunity, tens of thousands of people like us will be tightly surrounded and unable to move.
Tens of thousands of people rushed towards the south and soon arrived at the southern position of the Truqin people.
"Boom..."
When we were still about a few hundred meters away from the position, dozens of mortars started firing. Unlike cannons, mortars can be loaded and fired quickly. Soon, shells continued to explode in the wilderness in front of the position.<
/p>
It was the first time for the natives to see this kind of artillery, and they were frightened. At this time, some people continued to rush forward under the leadership of Curio, while others were scurrying around like headless flies.
Those fleeing to the east and west were naturally blocked by two other positions of the Truqin people, so some people fled to the north, where there were also Chinese and Truqin cavalry who were chasing them.
Curio approached the southern position with about ten thousand people. At this time, the short-barreled artillery of the Truchen people could come in handy. Since they were cavalry, they carried a large number of short-barreled artillery weighing fifty kilograms.
They are densely arranged on a position about two miles long.
When Curio and others approached the shooting range, the short-barreled artillery began to roar one after another, and the rapid spray of shotgun quickly caused large swaths of panicked natives to fall.
At this time, even Curio was helpless and could only escape eastward under the protection of his trusted aides. After being blocked by the eastern position, he ran to the north again.
In this way, tens of thousands of people moved east, west, and north in this large encirclement near Manila. After struggling for a long time, they finally understood that the positions to the east, west, and south were not something that their flesh and blood could break through, so they had to
Gather together again and rush to the north.
They are ready to fight to the death with the Chinese!
However, when they made up their mind and arrived near their previous position, they found that it had turned into a new position!
After another burst of intensive artillery fire, the time has arrived at noon, and Curio and the others have been toiling on this land for half a day!
Half a day later, the number of natives dropped sharply. About 30% of the previous 30,000 to 40,000 people were killed or injured by artillery fire, and another 30% fell from exhaustion halfway, leaving only more than 10,000 people huddled near the northern position.
p>
At this time, they did not have the strength to run away, so they simply sat still. Curio sent an envoy to the Truchen people to sue for peace, but the envoy was killed by them.
"Kill..."
"Shagege..."
A loud cry of killing came from all directions. Curio first saw Kawashima Koichiro and others holding samurai swords high, and then the Chinese armed forces who all held spears and broadswords in their hands.
Thousands of people rushed towards the place where they huddled.
Behind them are all cavalry!
Curio's eyes were completely dim, but in such a situation, they had no choice but to fight to the death.
The last battle outside Manila began, a battle mainly involving cold weapons.
There were tens of thousands of people on both sides, and they were all using cold weapons. The battle lasted for half a day before it ended. The Chinese and Japanese samurai, who were waiting for work, finally annihilated the natives.
However, they themselves also lost a lot of troops.
During this period, the Truchin cavalry galloped across the surrounded land, searching out and killing all the natives who had fallen due to fatigue.
Kawashima Koichiro's samurai are indeed strong. After fighting for half a day, they were able to gain the upper hand with just a samurai sword. In the end, there were only 300 left out of 500!
"You..."
At this time, a Truqin cavalry suddenly appeared in front of Kawashima Koichiro, and pointed at Kawashima Koichiro and said.
"You have performed well. His Majesty the Emperor of our country has given you many rewards. Please gather together to see him."
Kawashima Koichiro was overjoyed and quickly gathered a team to follow the man.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I saw a large group of cavalry parked in front of me, all riding tall horses. It looked like there were at least a thousand people.
"You guys are waiting here"
The cavalry leading the way ran towards the large group, and not long after, the large group of cavalry slowly pressed over.
Kawashima Koichiro suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Is His Majesty the Emperor in that cavalry? Ordinarily we should be asked to come forward to pay our respects. Why did they come over on their own initiative?"
But the current situation was beyond their control. The cavalry was getting faster and faster. Finally, Kawashima Koichiro could clearly see the weapons in their hands!
A short spear in one hand and a saber in the other!
Kang Xiaozi led a thousand cavalry like a sudden hurricane and rolled through the Japanese samurai team who had been fighting for half a day. When they passed them, the curse of "Baga" could not be heard.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But everything was over. When Kang Xiaozi came back with his cavalry and turned their horses, there was no one left standing in the field.
Kawashima Koichiro was lucky. He was knocked down by a fast-running war horse, and his thigh was broken by the horse's hoof, but other parts of his body were unharmed.
Curio's situation was similar. He was the last one to kneel down and surrender.
Both of them were finally taken to the Mazu Temple Square where the Lingchi Punishment was still being held.
There, two wooden poles have been added, and the two of them were tied to them without any explanation.
Abdullah's two young black eunuchs also appeared with smiles.
"Baga..."
A little black eunuch cut off Kawashima Koichiro's ugly penis with one knife. He immediately passed out under the severe pain, and the Truchin medical soldier on the side quickly stepped forward to stop the bleeding.
When he woke up, his mouth was very hard, and he cursed the Japanese curse with all his strength.
The Lingchi torture lasted for three days. During these three days, the Truchin Army also captured the entire city wall of Manila. During this period, at least half of a brigade of Spanish soldiers stationed in the city was annihilated.
Without any suspense, Governor Harvey surrendered.
Near the Governor's Palace is the Temple Cathedral, and between the two is a huge square.
All the young white soldiers who had laid down their weapons gathered in the square, including Harvey.
The reason why Harvey agreed to the request of the Truchen people was because Kitard, the emperor of the Truchen Empire, wanted to speak to them personally.
"Speech?"
Harvey, who was already fifty years old and had gray hair, shook his head.
"Is it because they want to show off their mighty force?"
As expected, Kitard came, bringing his Guards Cavalry Battalion, followed by three cavalry regiments, and surrounded the young white men in the square from all directions.
Kitard waved, and Harvey had to run to him.
"What do you think I will do next?"
"Your Majesty!" Harvey seemed to realize something. He couldn't help shouting in shock, "Your country has also joined the European agreement on prisoners of war. Do you want to violate the agreement? That will make the Truchin Empire suffer.
Scorned by the whole of Europe!"
Kitard smiled and said: "Our country has been spurned by the whole of Europe. This is nothing. What's more, the entire city of Manila is under my control. Who knows what is happening here?"
Then he ignored him and immediately issued the order.
Three regiments of cavalry charged the Spaniards.
......
Kitard's actions were obviously not done on a whim, but after careful consideration.
"If I reach an agreement with the Spaniards, the Chinese in the Philippines will not be willing to move to Ha Tien Town, but if I kill all the Spaniards here, they will be out of control."
"Just leave Harvey and a few other officials behind. Others must pay the price for their ancestors' massacre of Chinese people."
......
Kitard stayed in Manila for several months. As a result of killing a large number of Spaniards and natives, the Chinese in Luzon Island and even the Central Islands knew that they could no longer stay in this land, so they had to board the train to Ha Tien.
Garcia's Fleet.
During this period, several regiments under Kitard went deep into the interior of Luzon Island, and successively captured several castles with large garrison numbers. By the end of the year, the Spanish regular troops on the island had been almost wiped out.
On the island, only the city of Manila is tall and solid, and the rest are simple castles. There are not even many artillery in the city. Under the repeated attacks of Truchin Army mortars and short-barreled artillery, they were easily destroyed one by one.
Captured.
Negotiations are still needed, not to mention that the Truqin people have no intention of staying here permanently.
To be continued...
