Shooting does not rely on aiming but relies on chanting a spell. Have you ever seen this kind of combat method? These indigenous monkeys will!
When fighting, they shout louder than anyone else, but when encountering hand-to-hand combat, they will turn around and run away after a slight bump. After running several hundred meters away from the battle, they will turn around and jump up and down to continue shouting.
To be honest, many Chinese people have lived in Luzon for generations, but they still can’t understand the vast aboriginal languages. Basically every tribe here has its own unique pronunciation. Who knows what they are calling.
From a distance, it looks like a monkey, but up close, it looks like a monkey, but when you look closely, it turns out to be a monkey wearing clothes!
Not to mention that in the eyes of Europeans, these natives are not human beings, in fact, the Chinese do not regard them as human beings!
Black, really too dark. The entire army was so tanned and shiny that it would be a bit insulting to say that they were orangutans who had become spirits.
But these natives also have an advantage, that is, they are not picky eaters. The Spanish logistics officers do not need to prepare food for them. Each of them has a knife to cut bananas and eat them by himself.
At that time, each company will receive a little bit of rice, and this rice is snatched from the Chinese manor... Rice is added with chopped bananas to make porridge, which is delicious to these natives.
Don't expect these natives to have combat effectiveness. It's good enough if they don't cause trouble. In General Enmu's mind, these natives are used to fill the gaps in the battle line.
Hundreds of thousands of natives are crowded in a certain area on the front line. If the Chinese come to attack, they will at least make a little noise, and they will scream when they kill a pig.
As long as they can scream and call the police, and then use their lives to delay the time until the regular army comes to rescue them!
After all, it would take a long time for the Chinese to kill tens of thousands of pigs. This half day is enough for General Enmu to demolish the east wall and mend the west wall!
The 100,000 Spanish army was actually defeated by the 25,000 Luzon rebel army. Although it was related to the strategic defense of General Enmu, we can also see the pity of these declining empires.
Will the Spanish regular army be able to fight? This is not necessarily true, these colonial armies are almost becoming ancestors after being pampered and pampered!
First of all, Spain has not fought a major war for a long time. Its existing colonies have stabilized. The British have taken away everything they should, and the rest are things the British don't want.
After hundreds of years of rule within the colonies, they were basically slaughtered, and the remaining people were basically compliant people. Many disobedient countries in South America also became independent through national wars, and Spain could only watch helplessly. Recruit!
The consequences of not having fought for many years are obvious, that is, the army's combat effectiveness is extremely low. These soldiers have not received much training after coming out of the recruit training camp. Years of comfortable life in the colony have led to an increasing proportion of fat men in the army.
More than 70% of the officers have general belly, and more than 50% of the soldiers are also obese... But fortunately, they are still regular troops after all, and basic tactics can still be guaranteed. In addition, with a large amount of artillery support, they can still fight with the army for the time being. The rebels fought to a draw.
General Enmu finally felt a little relieved. He sighed in his heart, "After this war is over, these soldiers must be trained hard, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the threat from the north..."
"Not only that, I also want to write to the government that the colonial armaments must be strengthened. It's so incompetent and cowardly..."
"Fortunately, I am extremely smart and have judged the Chinese tactics, so I can adapt accordingly... If I had listened to that idiot Botila, all my army would have been trapped in the dense forest in the north!"
"You want me to attack? You, the governor, are too idiotic. Your current strategy is to stick to it! You have to let the navy go out to raid the Chinese people's lair!"
"Just wait. After this war is over, I will definitely return to the country and sue you severely... maybe your position as governor is mine!"
The proud General Enmu waved his hand, "Tell my soldiers that in this war, we only need to hold the defense line and defend Manila... There will be diplomats to help us regain the lost land in the north!"
"Extra meals. The children didn't eat well on Christmas. Today I will give you extra meals. Tomorrow is the first day of 1871. Let the soldiers have a good meal..."
"Remember to give those indigenous soldiers an extra ration, and the local government purchases salted fish to give them extra meals... Since they need to work hard, don't worry about this little money!"
"Go to the Governor and apply for another 300,000 pesos! Do you still want me to fight if you don't have money?"
Today is the last day of 1870. Although the Chinese offensive shows no signs of weakening, its military strength has not continued to grow.
General Enmu was very relieved. This had proved that his judgment was correct. The gathering place of the Chinese army must be in Brunei!
"Navy, navy! Spain's glory was built by you, and now it's up to you to maintain it!"
On the occasion of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, Spain's last and most powerful fleet in Southeast Asia approached Brunei at night, and all soldiers were ready for battle.
Compared with the army, the navy is still very elite. At least these people are more educated than the army, and their national consciousness and patriotism are naturally higher.
Moreover, operating a warship is a dangerous job, and we cannot relax even in peacetime. After all, the navy has to face disasters such as wind waves and typhoons even if it is not at war.
This is Spain's last elite combat force in Asia. At this moment, they are approaching Brunei secretly and shouldering all the hopes of the colonial government.
"Warriors of the empire, the brightly lit place ahead is Brunei Bay! The enemy's fleet and countless armies are gathered there!"
"There are only four enemy warships here. They are no match for us at all. Rush in at night! Sink all the ships you can see and retreat before dawn..."
"I won't say more about how serious the situation is. Whether the motherland's rule in Asia can continue depends on this battle!"
"The fleet is accelerating, I authorize you to fire at will!"
Twelve warships rushed towards Brunei Bay in a wild goose formation. In their eyes, the city was extremely silent and all defenses had been removed.
The lighthouse on the bay peninsula is getting closer and closer. The Spanish Navy knows that once it passes the lighthouse, there is no point in keeping it secret. There cannot be no defenders on the lighthouse. As long as it enters the warning area of the lighthouse, fighting is inevitable.
But a strange scene occurred. After the flagship had rushed to the sea within a radius of 500 meters from the lighthouse, the rotating lighthouse was as motionless as a tomb.
"Where are the defenders? Are there no sentries at the lighthouse? Are there no observation posts at the coastal batteries? Is the city undefended?"
But the speed of the boat has increased, and there is no turning back when the bow is fired!
When the entire fleet rushed into the bay, a huge siren suddenly sounded in the dead city, like a ghost screaming late at night, and the Spanish officers and soldiers were so frightened that their white hairs broke out.
