Become a feudal king from today - #928 - Chapter 940 Showdown

North of Manila.

The Franco soldiers in front of the coast were being bombarded.

Under the command of Pan Chang, the Marines broke through the weak defense in the north of the city and directly inserted into Manila City.

Unlike the desolation of Bambu, Manila is obviously much more prosperous.

In addition to the many thatched houses on the outside, there are more brick and stone houses as you go inward.

There are even Franconian-style buildings in the center near the coast.

“Quick, quick, quick, occupy the important streets and intersections in the city, find cover, and set up obstacles.” Standing on the main road in Manila, Pan Chang kept ordering the generals passing by.

Because it was not expected that the main force of the Marine Corps would attack from the north.

The Fo Langji people only deployed a small number of soldiers in the north of the city and accumulated heavy troops on the front coast.

Therefore, when they arrived, they easily broke through their defenses and entered Manila City.

“General, a large number of French soldiers and indigenous soldiers are pouring into Manila from the coast.”

At this moment, the Marine Corps general in charge of reconnaissance sent the latest situation on the battlefield.

“How many are there?” Pan Chang asked.

“There are more than 8,000 Folangji soldiers, and the rest are indigenous troops.” said the general in charge of the investigation.

Pan Chang nodded and immediately said to the messenger, “Pass this general’s order and focus on attacking the Fo Langji soldiers.”

According to the information he received, the Western Turkish army in the southern region is currently equipped with many front-loading rifled guns.

These muzzle-loading rifled guns were naturally more threatening than flintlock muskets.

Therefore, they want to annihilate the Western Turk army with line guns as soon as possible.

As for the indigenous army, he really didn’t care at all.

He didn’t think that these natives could go through life and death for the Folangji people.

Their morale is probably not as good as that of the powerful army.

After his order was issued, the Marine generals immediately led their soldiers to go in the direction of the Franco soldiers.

The distance between the two sides gradually shrank to 500 meters, and the Marines who were marching on the street immediately dispersed.

Some soldiers squatted in front of a pile of wood and aimed at the French soldiers. Some soldiers entered the houses and aimed through the windows.

There were soldiers who climbed onto the roof and looked down from above.

Before the Marines arrived, French soldiers also entered the city.

Marines were spotted and they also resorted to skirmishing tactics.

Each French soldier also looked for obstacles, relying on them to prevent the Marines from rushing towards the coast and outflank them.

The two sides were in a stalemate in Manila’s West City for a while.

“superior!”

After the indigenous troops arrived, Colonel Balenza waved his hand to signal the indigenous troops to charge, and they took the opportunity to shoot the Dasong soldiers.

Under his order, the brown-skinned indigenous soldiers roared and rushed towards the Marine Corps’ defensive area.

“These bandits don’t even know how to fight, bah!” Pan Chang couldn’t help but spit when he saw this.

When fighting in Beidi, they like to let their servants go before the battle.

This is something every Dasong soldier knows, so when seeing Fo Langjiren’s tactics, they naturally think of Beidi.

“Bang bang bang…” At this moment, intensive gunshots rang out. Marines leaned out from all corners and shot the natives who rushed over.

The soldiers on the roof also took out grenades and threw them among the indigenous people.

The charging natives suffered heavy casualties instantly.

This group of natives were obviously frightened. They rushed out less than fifty meters before the first wave of soldiers retreated.

“Get ready.” While the Marines were shooting, General Franco asked his soldiers to stare at the roof in front of them.

They sent the indigenous troops just to verify the intelligence provided by Britain.

That is, the Dasong army installed a musket that can be loaded from the back.

If that were the case, the Dasong army would not have stood up and fired from rooftops, behind barriers.

After waiting for a while, General Fo Langji’s mood became serious.

Sure enough, after the intensive gunfire, they did not see a single Dasong soldier get up to reload bullets, everyone was still hiding.

“What a terrible fact.” Balenza’s heart sank.

He knew about the muzzle-loading rifles, but not about the performance of the Grand Army muskets.

The British only said that during the Dasong Civil War, the Shi clan and Beidi were severely beaten by muskets like the Yan King’s army.

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed that when Dasong’s army was repelling the indigenous army, the soldiers at the front quickly came out of the alley, rushed forward into the alley in front, and kept approaching.

The soldiers moved very quickly, and as soon as they left their hiding place, the French soldiers opened fire on them.

However, before they had time to pull the trigger, they were attacked by other Dasong soldiers as soon as they exposed their bodies to the wall of the alley.

Even when they were hiding on the roof they were attacked.

They were obviously covering the soldiers as they advanced.

In an instant, Dasong soldiers moved forward more than ten meters at the front line of the entire confrontation.

Due to the attack, many Franco soldiers fired before they could take aim.

These soldiers were now in embarrassment.

Especially the soldiers lying on the roof, who had to get up to reload their muskets.

And standing up means that they are exposed to each other’s guns.
