    "Let's go through this level first." Lin Afa said with a grimace: "I hope I can hold on until dawn. The red-haired master will definitely take care of it then - they are still relying on our craftsmanship and business to make a living. Isn't that right?  President Chen?¡±

    "Alas" Chen Mei had a great career in the Lu Song family, and she would choose to accept the situation unless it was a matter of life or death.

    But now, it¡¯s a matter of life and death!

    He sighed and said to the two of them: "If you don't dare to go into battle, please quickly notify everyone, bring dry food and soft food, and be ready to escape at any time!"

    "Ah? As for that? The red-haired master will not ignore the chaos!" Lin Afa was startled and said: "This is their territory. If it is broken, they will suffer even greater losses."

    "Be prepared." Even a blind person could tell that this was the work of a red-haired ghost, but the man named Lin still talked like a red-haired master, which made Chen Mei feel disgusted.  But as the president, he has to make compromises and cannot follow his own temper.  He muttered: "I'll go take a look ahead!"

    With that said, he quickly walked towards the direction of the firefight, and he also had a beautiful Spanish short gun in his hand.

    ??~~

    On the north bank of the Pasig River, the stream is a delta formed by a large amount of sediment in the river. It covers an area of ??about 600 acres. There are three bamboo and wooden bridges built, leading to the south bank, east bank and north bank respectively.

    The location where the exchange of fire occurred was at the East Bridge, which was also the only way for enemies to come from the upper reaches of the river.  After receiving Liu Xuesheng's report, Tang Baolu asked him to summon overseas Chinese leaders to organize Qingzhuang, and at the same time asked Ximen Qing to lead his marines to guard the bridge to prevent a sneak attack by the natives.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????? The Pampanga people arrived faster than everyone expected, and the heavy rain did not stop them from rushing into the stream, burning, killing, and looting.

    After the warning was ineffective, Ximen Qing decisively ordered shooting.

    He brought a total of half a squadron, that is, five Marine squadrons, with a total of one hundred Marines.  Coupled with the original security guards, employees, and sailors in the business building, the number of people that could be mobilized was only two hundred, and they had to guard three bridges.

    At this time, facing the enemy in front of the East Bridge was a small group of twenty marines.  These well-trained veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles did not panic at all when facing enemy soldiers coming from all over the mountains and plains.  They hid behind a bunker of sandbags and fired only at enemies on the upper bridge with their rifles, then quickly reloaded and aimed again.

    The Marines' calm performance greatly encouraged the security guards and employees of the commercial mall behind them, and they threw Chacha grenades onto the bridge from behind the bunker on the other side.

    It may be that the humid weather in Nanyang has caused the gunpowder to become damp, and the power of the grenade has become much smaller.  Dozens of them were thrown, but none of them broke the wooden bridge.  However, the fragments splashed out after the grenade exploded could still cause large-scale damage to naked natives.

    Under the crossfire of rifles and grenades, the Pampanga people screamed and fell down in droves, and then fell under the bridge like dumplings

    But there are too many people in Pampanga, and there are always those who are lucky enough to rush off the bridge.

    But without exception, they all rushed to the street at the end of the bridge before they even had time to throw the bamboo spears in their hands.

    That was Ximen Qing leading another sniper team, lying on the wooden fences on both sides of the bridge, specifically cleaning up the fish that slipped through the net.

    Ximen Qing used this small amount of troops to form a three-dimensional strike net to hold the bridgehead. Until the Qinggong group of overseas Chinese arrived in large numbers, not a single native was allowed to rush into the stream.

    When the large force of immigrants arrived, the scene immediately became more lively. They shouted and shot at the natives with all kinds of muskets, bows and arrows.

    The Pampanga people also screamed and threw spears and spears at the overseas Chinese.

    The exchanges between the two sides were intense, and the battlefield was in chaos.  In order to prevent the precious troops from being accidentally injured by his own people, Ximen Qing ordered his men to withdraw to the house and provide fire support from a high place.

    Tang Baolu was even isolated in the rear by the two marines who protected him, so as to prevent him from hurting his own people with his shooting skills

    "Hit, hit! Hit hard!" He could only wave his fists and cheer for the front.  Tang Baolu's whole body was trembling with fat, and he didn't know whether he was excited or frightened.

    At this time, President Chen Meichen rushed to his side. He first looked closely at the bastard punch of his own people in front of him.  The Pampanga people, who failed in the sneak attack, could not even think of rushing across the bridge.

    "Tang, Mr. Tang." He was relieved a little and asked Tang Baolu in a hissing voice, "What should we do?"

    "Eat a piece of candy." Tang Baolu handed him a piece of coconut-flavored candy, then ate one himself and said, "Kill the people back and let the red-haired ghosts know that we are not easy to bully!"

    "Oh, that's easy to say." Chen Mei said, feeling the candy in her mouth taste bitter: "These Pampanga people are very fierce."sp; The instigator could sleep, but both warring parties stayed up all night.

    After the bridge was burned, the Pampanga people on the other side of the river stopped attacking.  Their leader Kenwan sent people around to look for bamboo forests and prepared to cut bamboos to make rafts to cross the river.

    They are just less civilized, but they are by no means stupid.  It¡¯s not like we don¡¯t know what to do if the bridge breaks.

    The overseas Chinese in the stream mobilized together, men, women, old and young, and raced against time to prepare for the upcoming ten days of hard work.

    The reason why they finally decided not to evacuate was because the advantage of farming civilization was in defending the city.  Especially the Han people who have maxed out their skills at this stage can create a hundred tricks to help them defend the city.

    And only when the rear is stabilized can the carpenters, blacksmiths, bricklayers, and masons among the overseas Chinese have room to display their talents.  Women, the elderly and children are not just a drag

    Having been in the stream for so long, Ximen Qing has already thought about how to fight a good defensive battle.  As he issued orders one after another, the overseas Chinese, who were highly organized based on clan blood lines, took up their positions and acted separately.

    The young men dug trenches inside the original wooden fence and set up bunkers with sandbags.

    They also demolished the houses along the river overnight, cut down bamboo and sent it to carpenters, who made javelins overnight.

    The blacksmiths lit up the fire and made the javelin heads by banging and banging all night long.

    To the layman, throwing a javelin is much easier than aiming and shooting with a musket.  Even if there is no iron spear head, sharpening the bamboo can still kill people.

    In addition, all food is collected and distributed uniformly.

    All the iron pots and sheets were also collected, and the women tore up the sheets and boiled water in preparation for caring for the wounded

    Everyone put aside their selfish thoughts for the time being and fought for survival!
