C3089 Luzon Allied Army (2/2)
In the northern part of Luzon, the important town of San Juan, two thousand Chinese gangs formed the Luzon's second allied army, which raided the San Juan police headquarters on the same day, killing 120 Spanish and 380 native police officers.
In a short period of time, the Luzon was filled with beacons of war. The dagupan, San Juan, Yilagan and Santa Ana … The four northernmost cities in the Philippines had formed four groups overnight. They were known as the liberators of the entire Luzon as well as the warriors who had fought in the military.
Three hundred years of Spanish rule in the Philippines, and this time there was a real threat, and all the riots from before were petty, and this time they were facing a real revolution of organization, planning, foreign aid, and faith!
As the torrential rain fell, the Spanish army camp of the dagupan was shrouded in an atmosphere of fear. In their eyes, this beautiful port city filled with tropical feelings had already become hell.
The Spanish Battalion Commander stood in the rain, looking at the city that had gone completely crazy. His hands were trembling. The busy street that used to be filled with the breath of life, had now become a killing hell.
Bar, Western Restaurant, Soldiers' Favorite Casino and Brothel, they were all in ruins now!
The Chinese uprising had been too sudden, too bloody and violent, and the Spanish colonists knew that things were not going well as soon as the two sides clashed.
Spain's national power has barely grown in the past decade, thanks to the ongoing turmoil within the country and the Queen's corruption and incompetence that led to the glorious revolution.
Poo War s, afterloading needle rifles had already started to be popular. In the Franco-Prussian War, they had displayed their prowess, and in this age of big technological explosions, the Spaniard had become a showpiece of museums.
Even the native armies hadn't finished changing, so how could they expect the colonial armies to do that?
The dagupan only had a total of a thousand Spanish regular soldiers and two thousand trained Indigenous soldiers guardians, but they had to face two thousand five hundred Chinese Rebellion s armed to the teeth.
The Chinese Spencer was the most popular weapon in the Luzon war. Its accuracy was low and its range was close by, so it was not important. What was important was its firing speed and its backup.
This kind of treasure had an overwhelming advantage as soon as it appeared on stage. Those regular soldiers carrying Mini's rifles immediately encountered a one-sided massacre.
On the wide street, the two sides took out their guns and started shooting at each other. Spencer's powerful firepower instantly disrupted the thin formation of the Spanish army. The soldiers who were screaming in pain immediately lost their morale.
The mayor of Spain was at a loss for what to do. From the government building, he personally witnessed the earth-shattering scene where hundreds of Chinese troops were being followed by thousands of Chinese with cold weapons.
These Chinese people who were previously as docile as Mianyang were now all tigers, men, women, old and young, all on the streets. Under the organization of many black-clothed men, they held Pahlian knife s, iron rakes, spears … Many of the children even had bamboo baskets full of stones behind their backs to supply ammunition to the people around them.
They had already killed their way out. More than 2000 Rebellion had caused an uproar in the city with over 30,000 Chinese people.
All the shops belonging to foreigners and aboriginals had been destroyed, searched one by one!
”Damn it, I don't want to stay here and die. Leave immediately, I'm heading for Manila!”
At the most critical moment, the Mayor of dagupan had run away. She did not even bring the army with him as she fled!
