Zheng Chenggong is not a staid navy captain. He has followed his father Zheng Zhilong for many years, and he still knows something about the ocean.
He knew that after taking Luzon, the emperor would not stop here to recuperate, and would definitely continue to march to the ocean.
"Your Majesty, after taking Luzon, will a small island controlled by the English be taken together?"
Zhu Youjian picked up the wine glass and took a sip of red wine, with a smile on his face, then shook his head:
"England is not in the right place right now. If we don't move them for the time being, Da Ming has a better way to deal with the English."
Although Zheng Chenggong didn't understand what His Majesty meant, he understood the emperor's character.
The emperor would never spare those alien races who came from thousands of miles away to colonize the vassal state of Ming Dynasty.
Zheng Chenggong handed over again:
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
This is not a compliment, but an expression of worship to the emperor from the heart.
……
The sea surface of Luzon has been blocked by the Ming warship, and the colonists have nowhere to escape.
Qi Jiguang, Li Dingguo, and Huang Degong's three-way army rushed directly in the direction of Liu's manor, and had no intention of attacking Manila City at all.
Governor of Manila, Coquella, has long been stupefied. He never thought that Da Ming would be so powerful.
The Manila coast defense, which was thought to be like an iron wall, was destroyed by Daming.
If God could give Corquila another chance, he wouldn't dare to offend Da Ming if he was killed, let alone kill the Chinese.
It's a pity that there are no ifs in the world, so Coquila can only continue to dispatch troops except to pray.
"Quickly, order everyone in the city to go up to the top of the city to defend, and bring some Chinese who have not yet come out of the city. Then the Ming army should be afraid when they attack the city."
After the order was conveyed, he immediately climbed to the top of the city, raised his binoculars and saw the overwhelming Ming army landing.
But soon he discovered that the Ming army didn't seem to have the intention of attacking the city, but quickly bypassed the city of Manila.
In fact, for Qi Jiguang and the others, sooner or later the city of Manila will be Ming's favorite.
The sea has blocked this place, and the colonists cannot escape. It is more important to save the Chinese first.
The speed of the Ming Fleet's fierce operation was too fast, and the governor of Manila, Corquela, had no time to react.
Of course, there was no time to inform Leiden that their army had retreated to Manila City for defense.
At this time, the Liu Family Manor was also in danger. In order to reduce his own casualties, the Spanish colonel fired at Zhan Zhao and the others for a while, leaving behind dozens of corpses and withdrawing from the battle.
Of course they will not stop here, if they don't get rid of the Ming people in the Liu family's manor, they will not be able to explain to the governor.
So the Spanish captain dispatched five Fran cannons, ready to attack the Chinese in Liu's manor with shells.
Because the transportation was not well controlled by the colonists, the Liu Family Manor did not have artillery.
Wooden walls can block muskets, but should have little defense against cannons.
Not only were the Chinese dumbfounded when they saw that the Spaniards brought in the cannons, even Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were instantly dumbfounded.
They pushed the wooden wall with their hands, and the wooden wall shook immediately, unable to stop the bombardment of the cannon at all.
"Evacuate quickly, everyone evacuates to the back house."
With Zhan Zhao's order, everyone immediately evacuated to the back house. Although the back house is not safe, it is better than wooden walls.
Now there is no way to solve the colonists' artillery bombardment except to retreat.
It is impossible to rush over and kill the artillery. Two or three thousand muskets are equal to you.
Leiden stood not far behind the artillery, with a grin on his face:
"A group of mobs, let them all be scattered today, fire!"
At Raiden's order, the gunner held up torches and ignited five cannons.
"Rumble..."
"Boom bang bang..."
"Kakkaka..."
Five solid bullets flew out of the muzzle quickly, and violently bombarded the wooden wall.
The wooden wall suddenly made a sound that seemed to be breaking, and then shook violently.
Perhaps because the shaking of the wooden wall relieved some of the strength, the first round of shelling only broke a few logs, and the wooden wall did not collapse.
One of the shells pierced a wooden wall and blew a hole in the stone wall of a house.
"I rely on...continue to bombard..."
"Yes"
He thought that a round of shelling would destroy the wooden wall, but Leiden was surprised, and a modern word popped out of his mouth.
The artilleryman agreed, and immediately began to wipe the barrel, reload the ammunition, and fired at Liu's Manor again.
"Rumble..."
"Crack clap clap..."
This time, the wooden walls of the Liu Family Manor could no longer withstand the bombardment of the artillery shells, and a large piece of sawdust was instantly sent flying horizontally.
Leiden smiled coldly, commanding the knife in the air with one stroke:
"The artillery bombarded the Liu family's house, all of them attacked, and killed all the dogs inside in the shortest time..."

Chapter 569
The wooden walls of Liu's Manor were knocked down, and the natives, behind the former Spanish soldiers, rushed towards Liu's Manor yelling and crazily.
The Spanish artillery began to wipe the muzzle again. They wanted to blow down the Liu family's house before their troops entered the back house, leaving the Ming people with nowhere to hide.
The wooden wall has been knocked down, and the indigenous attack can still be blocked, but the row of Spanish colonial soldiers behind is a deadly threat.
