- In the rainy season in the tropics, there may be several rains in one day, and it may be several days in one rain.
It has been raining for the past few days, intermittently, and the amount of rain is not very large. It will stop in about one or two hours, or three or four hours.
Today's rain is particularly heavy, so the Datong Army chose to attack.
How big is it?
It's like God pouring water down with a bucket.
Pampanga people, the official translation of later generations is Pampanga people. They are aboriginals living around Manila and once rebelled against Spain, but they have been completely tamed, at least the ones around the city have been tamed.
They are the most loyal lackeys of the Spanish colonists!
Marbala's grandfather was killed by the Spaniards. Marbala's father was a Spanish slave. And Marbala himself is a Spanish mercenary.
The fort on the city wall was originally built with a shack to protect it from the rain, but today's rain is so heavy that the shack can't prevent it at all.
The Spanish gunners had withdrawn, taking shelter in houses from the rain.
Mabala and other Pampanga soldiers were placed on defense in the fort shack, and by the way, they scooped out the rainwater that could not be drained out of the shack. He scooped it several times, and the more he scooped more, he could only give up in the end, and simply lay down on the barrel to rest.
A gust of wind blew, and the top of the shack was blown off.
Mabala immediately left with his bow and arrows. Based on his half-life experience, he felt that this was the prelude to a typhoon.
The doors and windows in the city are tightly closed, and even the rooms on the upper floors of Manila, which are used to observe the enemy's situation, are firmly closed. Even, nail the windows to prevent them from being blown away by the typhoon.
On the Dutch friendly side, the doors and windows were also closed tightly, and they were beaten with hammers. Commander Peter even made hot tea.
Two thousand soldiers of the Datong Expeditionary Army charged forward carrying simple ladders.
There was already accumulated water on the ground that could not be drained. They waded through the accumulated water that submerged their ankles, and braved the violent wind and rain to move forward with difficulty. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and some soldiers were blown down by the strong wind as they walked, and it took a lot of effort to get up and stand still.
They helped each other to the bottom of the city, and with difficulty put the ladder on the city wall.
More than a dozen people must work together, otherwise the ladder will be blown away. The soldiers of the Datong Army at the bottom of the ladder hugged the ladder tightly, and then climbed up one by one.
Tie Hong only climbed one meter high, and felt that he was about to be blown away by the wind.
He grabbed the ladder with both hands, and he had to use all his strength every time he climbed a little bit.
Not far from him, a soldier lost his grip, fell from the ladder, and was blown more than one meter away when he landed. And before he could stand up completely, he was blown by the wind and rolled over again, rolling several meters before stopping the momentum.
Fortunately, the city wall of Manila is not high, and it took less than five minutes for Tie Hong to grit his teeth and climb up.
More and more soldiers ascended the city, Tie Hong divided them into two groups.
A group rushed into the surrounding rooms with him to kill people, and a group opened the city gate to welcome friendly troops in.
The doors and windows of the city tower were all closed. Tie Hong untied the wrought iron rod, grabbed the wall with one hand to stabilize his figure, and knocked on the door with the iron rod in the other hand.
The Spanish commander and gunner inside were completely unaware of the enemy's arrival, and thought it was a friendly army sending a message, so they swore and took the initiative to open the door.
The moment the door was opened, Tie Hong rushed in, and the strong wind howled in from the door.
"Tang people?"
The Spanish commander's eyes were wide open, and just as he drew out his saber, two of the surrounding soldiers had been knocked to death.
This guy rushed forward with his saber in hand, raised his hand to stab the knife out, and the wrought iron rod had already come over. A stick hit him in the chest, he was stabbed directly, and then he was kicked in the abdomen, and he flew back immediately.
Phew!
With one blow of the stick, the head of the Spanish commander exploded.
?Because the attack was too sudden, only one Datong soldier was injured when the city tower was captured here. On the contrary, there were more injuries when climbing the wall, all of which were blown off by the wind, and some unlucky ones even had their legs broken.
After occupying the front tower, the city gate was also opened, and the Datong soldiers braved the wind and rain to fight towards the Pampanga barracks.
?The wind and rain blow, they don¡¯t argue about things, and they have never been to the city, so they can only follow the route pointed out by the religious Chinese.
Although the Chinese cannot settle in the city, they can work in the city, otherwise the whole city cannot function. The Datong soldiers silently recited the words "forward" and "right", and when they reached the Pampangya barracks, nearly half of them had already dispersed, leaving only more than 1,200 people to follow Tiehong.
"kill!"
The sound of shouting and killing came out of his mouth, but was covered by the sound of wind and rain in an instant.
such bad weather,??It is necessary to put Chinese missionaries under house arrest, not to mention that the Datong Army has now entered the city.
Luo Wenzao wanted to defend himself, saying that he would help defend the church.
But before he could finish his sentence, the clubs of the Spanish civilians came to him.
The crucifix stands in the church hall. Under the gaze of Jesus, Luo Wenzao was beaten to death by Spanish civilians.
Archbishop Miguel hid beside him in fright, drew a cross on his chest and said, "Poor man, may you ascend to heaven, and the Lord will bless you."
The weather is too humid, even if it is properly kept, the gunpowder on both sides will be damp.
Even the surviving Pampanga soldiers found it difficult to fight with their bows and arrows, because the power of the bowstring became very pitiful when it was damp.
It completely turned into a cold-weapon battle. Thousands of Datong troops broke into the church, and Archbishop Miguel had no time to escape into the castle.
"The Lord will punish these heretics!"
Miguel pointed at the Datong Army, hissing and cracking curses.
None of the missionaries in the Philippines was innocent. The Archbishop of Manila is the only existence other than the governor. He has participated in the Tu Hua incident every time, and even played a role in fueling the flames.
The missionaries distributed in the villages and towns must be the largest local landlords and the local supreme rulers.
When the Spanish civilians were 80% killed, Miguel raised his scepter and rushed over.
As soon as he got close, he was chopped down with a knife.
Churches, schools, hospitals have been occupied one after another, leaving only the castle garrisoned by the governor. <a href="https:///60324_60324500/680491483.html" target="_blank">https:///60324_60324500/680491483.html</a> The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co - Didn't finish reading?
