The entire Spanish Royal City completely lost its command and was in chaos.
Being attacked from both sides, the Spanish soldiers didn't know what to do.
They could only fight back blindly, run around blindly, and then be beaten to death inexplicably.
With the special forces inside the city to contain them, the attack outside the city was extremely smooth.
The Xia army attacked the fortress and began to erect long ladders.
The Spanish soldiers on the city were able to fight back at first, which greatly hindered the Xia army's climb. However, the number was too small after all, and there were always gaps in the defense.
In a hidden corner, the Xia army soldiers did not use ladders, but used crossbows to shoot the iron hooks up the city wall. After hanging them firmly, the agile soldiers climbed up along the ropes.
When the Spaniards discovered it, more than a dozen soldiers had already arrived.
Although the number of people is still small, it is enough.
The Spaniard just tried to attack, but found that he couldn't beat him, so he had to turn around and run away.
No matter how strong the bastion is, if there is a flaw in one place, there will be flaws everywhere.
The soldiers of the Xia army who climbed onto the city wall charged and fought fiercely. With their superior weapons and better tactical qualities, they directly flattened a large area of the city wall.
As a result, more and more Xia soldiers entered the city, and finally gained an advantage in numbers.
They began to search every corner of the city wall, both inside and outside.
All Spaniards who dared to resist were beaten to death one by one. The surrendered soldiers were driven aside and strictly controlled.
More Xia army soldiers rushed down the city wall and captured key points under the guidance of special forces.
At 5:30 in the morning, the gates of the Spanish Royal City were opened, and the main force of the Xia army officially entered the city.
The remaining Spanish were surrounded in St. Augustine's Church, and defeat was inevitable.
"Shout inside and ask the Spaniards to lay down their arms and surrender."
The translator took a few steps forward, raised a loudspeaker and muttered a long string of words.
It was quiet for a moment, and then there was a response soon.
"General, the Spaniards inside said that their safety must be guaranteed."
Gu Erzhong snorted coldly, his attitude firm.
"Tell the people inside that if they don't put down their weapons, I don't mind sending them to meet God."
The translator doesn't care about that much, just stick to the text.
The silence in the church lasted longer, and the Spaniards were obviously troubled.
"Fire at the door of the church and be careful not to cause any damage."
Guerzhong is cold and cold, but also very calm.
St. Augustine's Church is quite artistic at first glance, and it would be great to preserve it. Therefore, the people below were just allowed to fire cannons to scare them, and the building was not allowed to be damaged.
A cannonball accurately landed in the open space in front of the church. The ground shook with the explosion, which completely destroyed the Spanish's will to resist.
They finally understood that the place where God showed his kindness could not actually protect their safety.
The desperate Spaniards finally walked out of the church one after another.
There were about hundreds of people, including men and women, old and young, some richly dressed and some ragged.
But without exception, everyone looked frightened and trembling.
Don't know what fate awaits them.
Seeing these Spaniards throwing their weapons aside, Gu Erzhong waved his hand, and the Xia army soldiers rushed forward and controlled these people.
Not only that, but separation was also done.
The strong men were pulled to one side, and the old people, women and children were gathered on the other side.
At this point, the center of Spanish rule in Luzon completely fell into the hands of the Xia Kingdom.
Looking at this castle with extraordinary construction technology, Gu Erzhong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
If Xia Jun hadn't adopted an unexpected offensive method, it might have been difficult to break in.
"Where is Zhu Jin? How is the situation of the special forces?"
Through this battle, Gu Erzhong fully realized the value of special forces. He was even secretly thinking about whether to suggest to the headquarters to establish a special operations brigade within the Second Marine Division?
"Eight brothers were sacrificed, three others were not found, and more than 20 were injured. Overall, it is still within an acceptable range."
Zhu Jin's morale was high and he was very satisfied with the results.
Although a lot of people were sacrificed, since they fell in the center of the enemy, their sacrifices were inevitable. Compared with the results achieved, these casualties were really a bargain.
Gu No. 2 Middle School is quite sad.
"These are great heroes, and their funeral affairs must be properly handled. A monument will be erected here in the future to remember their achievements."
After listening to this, the special forces couldn't help but feel warm in their hearts.
The battle is over, the overall situation has been decided, and Gu Erzhong issued an order.
"Send the signal to the sea and let the civilian personnel come and receive it."
At dawn, the Xia army's warships docked, and a large number of government officials entered the city of Manila.
When the Xia Kingdom conquered Luzon, it wanted to permanently incorporate it into Chinese territory, so it was bound to send officials to govern and establish political power.
The leader's status is even more extraordinary, and he is Huang Zongyan.
Among the three brothers of the Huang family, Huang Zongxi and Huang Zonghui have long been famous.
One is the magic needle in the army, and the other is the iron-faced King of Hell that everyone talks about.
Only Huang Zongyan has been engaged in the administrative field, and has been transferred many times, so his reputation is not obvious.
But his ability center is always in his eyes.
This time we took over Luzon. Because the area is vast and the situation is complicated, we must have capable officers to control the situation.
So he was sent here.
"To ensure long-term peace and stability in Luzon, we need more cooperation from the military."
Huang Zongyan's request was not surprising to Gu No. 2 Middle School.
“What does the province plan to do?”
Before Huang Zongyan came, he had a detailed discussion with Zuo Menggeng in Taiwan and received a lot of advice.
"The situation in Luzon is very complicated and must be dealt with one by one. The Spaniards have nothing to say. I am going to arrange a public trial. Those who have done evil to the Han people and indigenous people will be brought out to quell public anger."
Gu Erzhong nodded on the spot, knowing that this was a good idea.
After a great war in Luzon, people's minds are impetuous and the situation is delicate. The first thing to do is to have a unified understanding.
As the former rulers here, the Spaniards committed many crimes against both the Han people and the indigenous people.
By trying the Spaniards, the Han and indigenous people here can accept the emergence of the new regime.
The indigenous people mentioned here are not those who followed the Spaniards and were enemies of the Han people.
The indigenous people on Luzon Island cannot be viewed as a whole.
In fact, before the arrival of the Han and Spanish, the indigenous people here were all divided into tribes, and they attacked each other, and the hatred was as deep as the sea.
Among them, there is no concept of country and nation at all.
It is also for this reason that Huang Zongyan planned to divide and conquer these indigenous people.
