RNP Chapter 175
Chapter 175
The Spanish colonial governor of Keelung was puzzled.
How could the firearms of the Ming army outside the fortress in front of him be better than the firearms of the Kingdom of Spain?
Impossible, impossible!
When the Daming Empire was investigated before, the Daming Empire was extremely backward, and the firearms were even more rare!
At that time, he also wrote a letter hoping that the king of Spain would form an expeditionary force and conquer the Daming Empire!
When Pizarro 168 people conquered the Inca Empire, he also wanted to follow his example and conquer the Daming Empire!
The governor of the Spanish colonial army was muttering in his heart.
Even, on his case, there was a plan on how to conquer the Daming Empire.
On the plan, it was written that only 20,000 Spanish colonial troops were needed to conquer the Daming Empire.
The governor of the Spanish colonial army, looking at his plan at this time, smiled bitterly with some helplessness.
"Hahahaha! I was so naïve that I fantasized about asking the king for 20,000 people to conquer the Daming Empire! "Nine Five Seven"
A few Spanish musketeers who followed the governor were already panicked.
"Lord Governor, there are about five thousand Ming troops outside the fortress!"
"Their firearms are sharp, flintlock guns!"
The governor rolled his eyes: "I'm not blind, their steel plate armor is even much better than our armor!" "
"So what should we do now?" , a musketeer loaded a projectile into a flintlock gun.
"What is the situation of the warships docked in Keelung Port?"
"The surrounding sea area is full of warships of the Daming Empire, and they are three-masted warships, and our warships were sunk when they were still in port!"
The governor of the Spanish colonial army was extremely angry, and he did not expect that Daming's warships had become so sharp.
The warship turned out to be a three-masted warship, isn't this the same as the sailing ship of the Dutch Republic?
However, the colonial army of the Dutch Republic was also beaten by the Daming Empire.
What the hell is going on here?
"Lord Governor, the Ming army has begun to attack the city!"
The governor frowned, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Soldiers, you are the warriors of the Spanish Empire, you must not dishonor the glory of your ancestors!" "
"Back then, Pizarro could conquer the Inca Empire with a few hundred people, and now although the Ming army has many people, it is not our opponent!"
The marines of the Second Fleet pushed their red-clad cannons less than a mile from the fort to build artillery positions.
Seeing the red-clothed cannons of the Ming army, the governor of the colonial army had a black line on his face.
"Wasn't this cannon made by the Kingdom of Portugal? Did Portugal ally with Daming? "
The Spanish colonial governor on the side was very puzzled, Portugal and Spain were colonial powers.
Portugal dominated almost all of Brazil, while Spain dominated Central and South America except Brazil, and had already begun to move into North America.
But since the seventeenth century, the rise of the Dutch Republic, the British Empire and the French Empire, which led to their colonization in the Americas, the Spanish Empire has gradually declined.
The emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and the governor of the Spanish colonial army was very unwilling.
This Daming Empire, a backward empire, had never been put in the eyes before.
Since the Ming army is coming, first write a letter to intimidate them.
Anyway, around Manila, there are also Spanish colonial troops.
It is even possible to emulate Pizarro against the Inca Empire, or to emulate the Aztec Empire in which Cortez conquered the Americas.
Both of them tricked the emperor of the empire and then used the superiority of firearms and cavalry to capture their emperor, and their entire empire was forced to obey the colonial army.
The governor thought about it and decided to write a letter inviting the commander of the Ming army outside the city.
Soon, two Spanish colonial soldiers sent the letter to the Marine General of the Second Fleet outside the city.
With a letter in hand, the general brought in the local people who were familiar with Spanish.
After translation, the general was not sure of the idea.
There were at least a thousand more people in the fort, and their firearms were equally sharp.
In one hour of the general attack, one hundred and twenty people had already been killed.
"The soldiers of this old colonial empire are indeed not ordinary in combat!"
"Although our soldiers are heroic, the accuracy of shooting is too low!"
"The enemy's musketeer, the accuracy is too high!"
The Spanish colonial army inside the fortress, their flintlock gunners specialized in sniping, and the arquebus were responsible for suppression.
The tactical coordination was much higher than that of the Dutch colonial army.
"Your Majesty, General!"
The Marine General of the Second Fleet immediately trotted to greet Chongzhen.
"Your Majesty, Keelung has been wrapped up by us!" (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
"It's just that the total attack is not going well!"
"The enemy's flintlock gunners, all sharpshooters!"
Chongzhen frowned, sharpshooter?
Yes, yes, the Beijing Division of the Daming Empire also has to set up a special sniper.
The sniper unit, named Sniper Guard, recruits 40,000 people and eight guards.
Chongzhen wrote his thoughts on the document he carried with him...
"Don't worry, as long as it's out of range, it shouldn't have any effect!"
"What's going on inside the fortress?"
"This is a letter written by their governor, and the governor wants to come out and interview me in person!"
Chongzhen laughed loudly, this Spaniards colonized, basically relying on deception and sneak attacks.
Portuguese and Dutch colonial armies, those are all colonies with real knives and guns.
"Nope! This Spanish colonial army colonized the Americas, relying on this trick, deceived the Inca Empire and the Aztec Empire. "
"In our Daming Empire, this trick doesn't work!"
"Marines of the rest of the fleet, all into battle!"
Forty-five thousand men, twenty redcoat cannons of the marines of each fleet.
A total of one hundred and eighty red-clad cannons were lined up around the fortress.
"Lord Governor, it's not good! Ming Jun rejected your offer! "
"All around, it's full of cannons!"
The governor of the colonial army stood on the wall of the fortress, stunned.
When Pizarro colonized the Inca Empire, he brought two small guns.
Is this Daming Empire guilty of using so many heavy artillery in order to attack a small city?
In this era, the red-clothed cannon can be regarded as a heavy artillery.
The governor of the colonial army holding a telescope in his hand, his body trembled involuntarily.
"Flying Pigeon Messenger, Governor!"
The governor of the colonial army held the information in his hand, and his hands trembled even more.
The intelligence was transmitted by the Spanish colonial army in Manila.
"4.2 bad, bad, our home is under attack by the French Empire!"
This was during the Thirty Years' War on the continent of Europa.
The years 1636 to 1648 were the final phase of the Thirty Years' War.
It was the tenth year of Chongzhen, that is, 1637, and the current month should be the time when the Spanish army was severely damaged outside the French Empire in Paris.
The governor, who received the information, was in desperation.
At present, the entire Europa continent is fighting.
The Catholic and Protestant factions have been at war for twenty years, and now the countries of the Europa continent have joined the melee.
This information was transmitted by the colonial army in Manila, hoping to shrink the defense line and lead the colonial army back to the Europa continent to fight.
Looking at the intelligence, the governor of the colonial army was very angry.
"The French Empire has already marched into our homeland, and now the Ming army has besieged us again, what should we do?"
