"However, the combat mission given to us by the Governor's Palace is to capture Lingayen and cut off the enemy's retreat before the enemy forces in St. Jones receive the news to return reinforcements!"
"Then cooperate with the main force of St. Jones to encircle and destroy this damn Chinese rebel!"
"Spain cannot lose this battle! Otherwise, we will lose Luzon!"
Osado pondered for a while, then spoke.
"Well, pass on the order, all marine troops, launch a landing operation, and then launch an attack on Lingayen!"
Following Osado's order, Spanish land forces began to land on a large scale.
Because the hydrological conditions of Lingayen Bay are not very good.
Therefore, the Spanish third-level sailing battleships with deep drafts can only be anchored one or two nautical miles away from the coast.
Landing operations can only be carried out by small boats to transport landing troops.
Very complicated!
The small boats on the battleship are limited and can only transport one or two hundred people at a time.
Osado looked at the quiet dock and laughed.
"These Chinese people are so short-sighted!"
"Due to the hydrological conditions of the bay, our army's landing work is complicated and cumbersome. If they take advantage of the fact that our army's landing force only has one or two hundred people and has not yet established a foothold."
"To launch a surprise attack on our landing force, we are afraid that we will have to pay an extremely heavy price to successfully land!"
Karar was just about to say something in agreement.
Suddenly, a burst of cannon fire was heard from the direction of the pier.
Boom! Boom!
Amidst the rumble of gunfire, large plumes of gunpowder smoke rose from the buildings near the dock.
Several cannonballs drew an arc and flew towards the Spaniards who had just finished landing and were gathering together.
It's a pity that the artillery these days only fires solid shells.
It relies on the shells to roll and rotate and release kinetic energy to kill.
On soft sand, the power of the cannonball is reduced to the greatest extent, and the soft sand can absorb the kinetic energy of the cannonball.
Except for one of the artillery shells fired by the Liberation Army, which happened to hit the landing Spaniards, causing casualties.
The other shells fell into the soft sand!
Apart from creating sand pits one after another and splashing up a large amount of sand, it has no other effect.
After the sound of cannons ended, there were bursts of scattered gunfire.
The landing Spaniards were constantly hit by muskets and fell to the ground, either directly dying tragically, or being hit in the limbs by lead bullets, wailing loudly.
"kill!"
The Spaniards began to fight back, and the two sides exchanged fierce shots.
However, the soldiers of the Liberation Army had fortifications as a support, while the Spaniards were exposed in the open space.
Coupled with the poor hit rate of rifled guns in this era.
The result of the confrontation between the two sides can be imagined!
Boom! Boom!
A moment later, the Liberation Army's artillery fired again.
However, this time the attack was no longer about a few solid artillery shells, which sounded very powerful, but the actual killing effect was, but shotgun shells were used.
Dense clouds of shotshells were thrown at the landing Spaniards!
Puff! Puff!
In an instant, blood rained down on the beach, and corpses fell to the ground one after another.
The Spaniards were severely wounded in an instant. They had just landed and had no time to establish a position, so they turned and fled towards the sea.
Since the small boat had already left after setting down the landing troops, these Spaniards had no choice but to jump into the sea if they wanted to avoid the ambush of the Liberation Army.
Plop, plop, one after another Spanish soldiers dropped their weapons and jumped into the sea!
Watching the scene happening on the shore, Osado's face seemed to have opened a soy sauce shop, the color was quite exciting.
This is so direct that Prime Minister Cao is possessed!
Carlal asked.
"Sir, we are in trouble now!"
The expression on Carral's face was also a bit complicated. He wanted to laugh, but he had to hold it back and make a distressed expression.
Ka·expression management master Lal said that this is still a bit difficult, but it is not difficult for him!
Osado pondered for a while. He had been in the army for many years and had rich combat experience, but he came up with a solution and spoke.
"Send dozens of people to land from the front and use a skirmish line to feint attack to minimize casualties, but we have to make a strong attack posture."
"Then send other people to land from other places!"
"After the landing is completed, gather troops to attack the dock and cooperate with the feint attack troops to open the landing channel for our army."
Karar gave a military salute and then spoke.
"Don't worry, sir, I'll make arrangements right away!"
After Carral returned after arranging the landing arrangements, Osado asked again.
"What's in those two lucky boats that the sailors jumped into and captured?"
"That group of Chinese people parked their ship at the port. Isn't it an empty ship?"
Karar answered.
"Your Excellency, there are a lot of gunpowder, dry firewood, oil and other tinders on those two ships. They probably want to launch a fire attack on our fleet."
"I just don't know why, but those sailors didn't conduct a fire attack and just jumped into the sea to escape."
Osado nodded slightly and said.
"It's a good thing they didn't launch a fire attack. Although the Chinese ships can't make long voyages, if they are handed over to the Governor's Palace, they can still exchange for a lot of money to reward my brave soldiers!"
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Osado spoke again.
"Hmph, those Chinese are really a bunch of nasty rats!"
"Except for sneak attacks, they don't dare to engage in a head-on battle with the Spanish warriors. They even dare not execute the fire attack that they are proud of. They are really a group of timid and cowardly guys."
"When the warriors attack Lingayen, I will kill all those damn rats!"
Karar said nothing more, but continued to focus on the landing battle.
On the frontal battlefield, the ambush troops of the Liberation Army and the Spaniards exchanged fierce fire. Another Spanish army landed far away and was not ambushed.
Carlal breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this and said.
"This group of Chinese are nothing more than that!"
Everything that happened next went according to Osado's plan.
After the detoured landing troops were assembled, they headed straight for the construction area of Lingayen Pier.
The shouting of killing shook the sky!
The Spaniards on the front also gathered together and launched an attack towards the construction area.
Osado looked at the scene on the battlefield through the telescope and laughed.
"I want to see what these damn rats can do!"
As Osado watched, Spanish troops rushed into the built area.
However, when I walked into the busy building just now, everything suddenly became quiet again.
The Spaniards searched in the construction area, but could not find any trace of the Liberation Army.
collapse!
It was the sound of a bow string trembling.
Poof!
An arrow broke through the air, shot out from the corner, and penetrated the throat of a Spanish soldier.
The Spanish soldier clutched his throat and fell to the ground in pain, no longer struggling.
The rest of the Spanish soldiers chased in the direction of the arrow, and saw a Liberation Army soldier dressed as a native getting directly into the mouth of a well.
Below the wellhead, there is a tunnel!
Several Spanish soldiers chased after him and looked down the well.
There was a loud bang, and the Liberation Army soldier underground pulled the trigger, and a burst of gunpowder smoke floated up.
A lead bullet flew out and killed the Spanish soldier who was looking over his head. His head was shattered by the lead bullet!
