"Being captured by the despicable Chinese, like a lowly black slave, he will work to death in a dark mine for the rest of his life!"
"Then, please hold on to the weapons in your hands and move forward!"
"Capture that fortress and turn the tide of this battle!"
Osado pointed in the direction of Weiyuan City and shouted loudly.
"For the glory of God, for the favor of Spain!"
"Fight hard, warriors!"
Under Osado's mobilization, two thousand Spanish soldiers launched an attack on Weiyuan City.
However, because they landed too hastily, they didn't even have ordinary artillery, let alone heavy artillery for siege.
Two thousand Spanish soldiers launched an attack on Weiyuan City without any artillery support!
A rapid warning sounded from the walls of Weiyuan City!
Soldiers of the Liberation Army, wearing plate armor, appeared at the top of the city and prepared to engage the enemy.
The fort in Weiyuan City opened fire!
Boom! Boom!
The sound of the cannon was dull, and countless shotguns were fired at the Spaniards who were attacking the city.
The pellets of the shotgun swept across everything, turning the Spaniards charging towards Weiyuan City into corpses!
The next moment, the muskets of the Liberation Army also opened fire.
Amidst the neat volleys of gunfire, the Spaniards fell to the ground in droves.
The trenches and traps outside Weiyuan City greatly hindered the Spanish charge.
The Spanish soldiers were blocked by trenches and traps and could not move forward. A group of people crowded together and raised their guns to shoot at the Liberation Army on the city wall.
However, the Liberation Army had fortifications, and most of the Liberation Army soldiers shot through shooting holes. The Spanish's counterattack could not cause them too many casualties!
The Spaniards, however, had no place to hide. They gathered together and were hit by constant volleys.
Amid the sound of gunfire, corpses covered the ground!
Mobilized by Osado, the Spaniards did have a strong will to fight, but no matter how strong their will to fight, their bodies could not withstand bullets and shells.
After suffering heavy casualties, the Spanish finally broke through the trenches and trap blockade of the Liberation Army.
They were crowded under the city wall of Weiyuan City!
However, these Spaniards did not have time to make any other moves.
Finally some Spaniards learned the lesson and jumped into the ditch to take shelter.
But the Liberation Army set many traps in the trenches!
As soon as a Spanish soldier jumped into the trench, his ankle was broken by a animal trap, and screams suddenly sounded.
Others had their entire thighs pierced by bamboo thorns, exposing white bone stubble, and kept wailing.
Suddenly, a Spanish soldier discovered that after they jumped into the trench, they could not get out.
The trenches dug by the Liberation Army were a bit deep even for the Chinese.
This is especially true for short-statured Spaniards.
When a person stands in a trench, his head cannot be exposed at all.
Not to mention relying on the trenches to fight back against the Chinese, standing in the trenches, they could only see the sky above their heads.
The wailing and screaming never stopped!
Finally, a Spanish soldier could no longer withstand the pressure. In fear, he dropped his weapon and ran away.
The escape of one soldier caused everyone to collapse!
A large number of soldiers dropped their weapons and fled.
Many wounded soldiers were left lying on the battlefield and wailing!
Osado looked at the defeat on the battlefield and was furious!
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
"A bunch of cowards, you are a bunch of cowards!"
"Who asked you to withdraw?"
"..."
Osado's anger could not change the situation of the war.
The soldiers retreated, and he wanted to step forward to boost morale.
However, these Spanish soldiers were already frightened and did not dare to attack again.
Osado's anger is more like the incompetent rage of a loser!
One attack killed many people, but it did not change the Spaniards' plight of lack of food.
The soldiers gathered in front of Osado's military tent, begging for food.
However, Osado has no food source at all!
Throughout the Spanish military camp, resentment was running high, and the hungry soldiers were full of disgust for the commander.
Just when the conflict was about to break out, Carral was escorted by several Zheng soldiers into the Spanish military camp and persuaded Osado to surrender.
"Sir, I have some very unfortunate news for you. We failed!"
"Not only was the fleet wiped out and the landing troops cut off their retreat, we also failed on the battlefield of St. Jones!"
"God is about to lose his Manila, and God's Spain will lose the entire East!"
"In order to save the lives of the boys, the wisest choice now before your Excellency, Commander, is to surrender honorably."
Although Weiyuan City has not received the battle report from St. Jones, this does not prevent Weiyuan City from using the news of the defeat of the Governor's Mansion in the Battle of St. Jones to dampen the morale of the Spanish.
After hearing this, Osado also realized the seriousness of the matter, but he was not willing to accept his fate yet and spoke.
"I can surrender, but I ask that I be treated decently after surrendering!"
"I ask to spend money to redeem myself, I don't accept to be used as a coolie!"
Carlal nodded and said.
"Your Excellency, Commander, you are a noble and an excellent commander. No one will ignore your value and let you do hard work!"
Osado finally chose to surrender.
At this point, the battle of Lingayen comes to an end!
In this battle, the Spanish fleet in Manila, including the fleet of galleons, was almost completely wiped out, except for a few small-tonnage armed merchant ships anchored in the port of Manila.
After suffering heavy casualties, the two thousand Spanish musketeers were all made prisoners of war!
There were also a large number of Spanish sailors in the fleet who were also prisoners of war!
With the victory in the two battlefields of St. Jones and Lingayen, the decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Spaniards in Luzon could be regarded as a winner.
All that’s left is some finishing work!
For example, taking Manila...
…
In Manila!
The atmosphere inside and outside Manila is solemn right now, as if the sky is falling.
The faces of the Spaniards in the city were full of horror!
Every house closed its doors and windows, and there were almost no pedestrians on the streets.
In the Governor's Palace, Barossa was sweating profusely and kept pacing in the hall, with the panic on his face almost unable to be concealed.
"Damn, damn!"
"how so!"
"It's over, it's all over, Spain is going to lose Luzon!"
"..."
Just today, the situation on the battlefields of Lingayen and St. Jones was finally reported back to Manila.
The moment he heard the news, Barossa felt like the sky was falling!
Completely finished!
Five thousand white soldiers were wiped out, and the Spanish fleet in Luzon, plus the fleet of galleons, were wiped out.
Five thousand mercenaries and natives were wiped out...
After a series of defeats, it can be said that Spain's military power in Luzon has been almost completely destroyed.
Although the remaining militiamen are large in number, their combat effectiveness is somewhat unsightly!
