Alfonso's original idea was to use favorable terrain and superior strength to counter the attack of the Ming Dynasty's troops. Even if the Ming Dynasty's troops invaded the Western District, there was no need to worry. They only needed to use the favorable terrain to annihilate the enemy, lure the enemy deeper, and then use
The port navy outflanked the retreat, outflanking the front and rear, and annihilated the opponent in one fell swoop.
After discovering that the opponent's strength was less than 2,000, Alfonso firmly believed that this plan would be successful.
Therefore, even though the street fighting was losing ground and the number of casualties on his side soared to thousands, he still felt that the problem was not big.
However, after Alfonso issued orders one after another, asking the returning navy to come ashore and attack without success, Alfonso finally realized the seriousness of the problem. The road to naval support in the military port was cut off, and more than 4,000 Eastern Fleet troops were blocked.
There was no way up the road. After the opponent occupied the road leading to the harbor, they cut down trees and pushed boulders to completely block the road. They used ferocious firearms, bows and arrows, and thrown explosive objects to block thousands of soldiers and horses below.
There is no way to break through.
In the frontal battle, due to the loss of thousands of men, the soldiers and horses under his command were frightened and had no fighting spirit.
Alfonso was originally an uneducated person. He didn't know much about leading an army in a war. Faced with this situation, Alfonso panicked.
"Sir Alfonso, I'm afraid we have to break out. If this continues, we will have no way to retreat. After the last block is breached, we will have to retreat to the top of the mountain. That is a dead end." One of his officers advised.
.
Alfonso frowned and said: "How to break through? The road below is blocked and reinforcements cannot come up. Do we have to break through forcefully?"
"Sir Alfonso, we still have an advantage in terms of strength. We still have more than two thousand soldiers and horses. If we don't charge now, when will we wait? If we delay it any longer, it will be all over." The officer under his command whispered.
Alfonso frowned and thought. He had already seen the opponent's fighting power. He knew that charging head-on was not a good idea. He would probably suffer huge casualties and would not succeed at all. But at this moment, there seemed to be no other way to think of.
.If you don’t leave, you will really be trapped and die here.
However, he was extremely unwilling to be so passive despite having a huge military advantage. Furthermore, if he had to break through, he could only break out to the military port and then escape on a warship. That would mean giving up Manlajia Harbor.
After this, how can I explain to the prince and the country that I lost the extremely important Malacca seaport just after I took office? How should I explain it?
Just when Alfonso was hesitant, he heard shouts of murder rising from the river bank below. Countless torches gathered from the East District along the channel on the river, dotted like a river of torches.
"What's going on?" Alfonso asked, looking at this situation in surprise.
"It seems to be local people. Could it be that local people helped us attack the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses from behind? God bless, that would be great." One of his men shouted excitedly.
Alfonso was stunned and angry, but he soon understood.
"Asshole, they came for us, they rushed up. Damn it, these low-level people don't know how to be grateful at this time and help the people of the Ming Dynasty." Alfonso cursed loudly.
Alfonso's judgment was correct. On the river embankment below, thousands of local people from the East District poured in. They rushed over the bridge with torches and joined the attacker's camp. At first, they did not dare to
Take action and stay on the sidelines, because we don’t know who will win.
They were defeated and did not dare to act rashly. All the people were watching the progress of the battle. When they saw the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses occupying the neighborhood of the Folangji people all the way, the wounded and captured people of the Folangji people were escorted one by one.
When they were detained in the Eastern District, they finally couldn't hold it any longer.
There were already some people who were ready to take action. Under the instigation of these people, the people quickly formed a consensus. If we don't help at this time, when will we wait?
Naturally, many of them were speculators who were fishing in troubled waters and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. Based on the principle of helping whoever wins, they jumped out. But more of them were local aborigines who were usually oppressed and abused by the Francois.
, oppression, heavy taxation, cruelty, and insult. After the arrival of the Francois, the inner anger of the local indigenous people who had been bullied finally burst out at this moment. They held up torches and rushed to the battlefield on the other side, vowing to help the Ming army with them.
Walk the Buddha Lang machine.
Faced with such a situation, Alfonso knew that the situation was over, and if he didn't leave now, it would be later.
So he immediately gave the order to break out of the encirclement. Thousands of soldiers began to rush towards the road leading to the military port, running like wild beasts and wolves along the hillside woods, fleeing for their lives. At this time, it didn't matter what reason they had.
When encountering slopes, be afraid of slopes; when encountering ditches, cross ditches.
Alfonso, escorted by hundreds of cavalry, plunged straight down from a steep path in the forest on the hillside that Zhang Yanling didn't know, and rushed to the south road leading to the military port.
Faced with this sudden situation, Zhang Yanling really wanted to cry without tears. The participation of local people was not what Zhang Yanling wanted to see. Their involvement actually disrupted Zhang Yanling's plan to push his opponents up the mountain road step by step to surround him.
Zhang Yanling had already dispatched two squads, heading up the hillside on the left and right to prepare for an ambush. The squad carried a large number of Jingualei, enough to feed them a pot.
When he saw the people pouring across the bridge, Zhang Yanling secretly thought that it was bad. He tried to let people stop the people from crossing the bridge, but he couldn't stop them at all. He could only watch helplessly as these people rushed towards the battlefield quickly and disrupted the battlefield.
balance.
Fo Langji's men fled in all directions, but Zhang Yanling's soldiers and horses were unable to pursue them. Because these common people rushed up one by one, shouting and holding torches, which objectively blocked the pursuit of the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses. Because they were afraid of accidentally injuring too many people.
The common people, artillery, birds, muskets, bows and arrows cannot shoot at the enemy without restraint.
Moreover, a large number of Folangji soldiers rushed towards the crossing position guarded by Zhang Yin and others, which put great pressure on Zhang Yin and other 500 men. In order to escape for their lives, they would attack Zhang Yin and others at all costs
.
Zhang Yanling cursed endlessly, but had no choice but to immediately lead hundreds of cavalry to reinforce Zhang Yin and others. After arriving, he saw a huge crowd of people. The Folangji soldiers on both sides of the north and south broke through the mountain road frantically and fled to the military port. Although Zhang Yin and others tried their best
Stop it, but there are too many enemies and it is very dangerous.
Zhang Yanling immediately ordered Zhang Yin and others to evacuate and let them go. Under this situation, there was no need to fight with them. Since it was impossible to complete the plan of encirclement and annihilation, there was no need to make huge sacrifices for it.
Alfonso and other two thousand remaining soldiers broke through the mountain road with the support of the navy, went straight to the harbor, quickly boarded the ship and left the harbor, and escaped from the warship.
When Zhang Yanling and others chased to the top of the military port pier, the Franco machine warships began to bombard the port. Hundreds of Franco machine guns from more than 20 warships began to bombard the port facilities, and the port suddenly became a
A sea of fire.
A large amount of gunpowder and materials that were too late to be transported were ignited, and explosions and fires broke out. A large number of buildings, docks, wooden cranes, and other facilities were damaged in the explosions and fires.
The frantic Alfonso also ordered seven or eight warships to bombard the ports and streets of the East District. It set fire to a large number of markets in the East District and killed countless people.
Wang Hong's three armored ships withdrew from the battle during the first update because two of them were seriously flooded and had run out of shells. Therefore, they had to be cut off from the Datong and evacuated the warships. The opponent's warships also returned at that time.
Hong Kong is participating in the battle in the Western District. Therefore, they can only be allowed to wreak havoc on the sea at this moment.
However, they only dared to shell the sea, and had no idea of reaching the shore to recapture Manlajia.
Perhaps he had run out of shells, or perhaps the anger in his heart had been vented. In the early morning, Alfonso led more than 20 warships and sailed westward, leaving behind the harbor of Malacca with flames rising into the sky and thick smoke billowing.
Of course, none of this changes one fact. That is, the strategic location of the Manchuria Seaport changed hands. From this moment on, the Manchuria Strait was controlled by the Ming Dynasty's troops.
Zhang Yanling quickly issued an order to quickly organize manpower to put out the fire and rescue local people. At the same time, he ordered a search of the entire port area to arrest the Franco soldiers and expatriates scattered in the mountains and forests.
At the same time, people were ordered to go to Longyamen to send orders for several supply ships, the armored ships under repair, and all the troops to sail to the Malacca seaport. Although the facilities of the military port here were seriously damaged, the ponds and some facilities
It is still usable, and the conditions at Longyamen Harbor are much better.
The most important thing at the moment is to quickly repair the armored warships to ensure the ability to fight at sea. Otherwise, the safety of the harbor cannot be guaranteed. During this period, forts need to be set up on the cliffs of the military port to prevent enemy ships from coming to cause nuisance.
Some local gangsters who take advantage of the chaos to rob must also be quickly identified and arrested. The remaining forces of the Folangji people here must be eliminated.
There are many things to do, but the first thing Zhang Yanling has to do at this moment is to quickly find Helena and the others. I don’t know if the chaos just now has affected them. I don’t know if they are safe.
