C3106 Escaping Manila (1/2)

Without fighting, their morale would collapse first! This was the state of affairs in the Spaniard. The Chinese continued to increase their numbers in the north while the Manila governors and generals argued over responsibility.

”It was your misjudgment that caused this. You have to bear all the responsibility. I'll send you a telegram to impeach you!” Governor Bai Tila roared in anger.

”Shut up! You impeach me? How many years has it been since your troops have increased their weapons and equipment? We don't even have a fully equipped, reloaded unit! ”This is your responsibility …” General En Mu roared.

The two of them had been arguing for more than three hours. The entire General Governor's Mansion was silent, and no one dared to even breathe loudly. However, the entire Manila City was in an uproar.

The news of the arrival of the Chinese reinforcements spread throughout the city like a pair of wings. All the Europeans were scared silly, especially the Spaniard.

Although they were normally arrogant, they themselves were very clear about the morals of the army. They knew how the weapons and equipment of the three countries of English and French Europe had evolved, and they could still distinguish what their troops looked like.

The port was suddenly filled with people trying to escape. Spanish merchants with ships began to board with their families to leave Manila, and the extra space on board was sold at high prices.

In order to escape from the city, many tickets had been sold for four to five times what they used to!

The ocean-going merchant ships' tickets were the most popular. Within half a day, the Manila port's large merchant ships were all full, and one after another European merchant ships began to flee from the city threatened by the war.

Although these boats were unable to cross the ocean to bring them back to Europe, they could at least move to areas such as Da Ma and Singapore. At that time, they could find a chance to escape.

After all, the rest of the foreigners had been able to afford the tickets, and most Europeans had come to Asia to take risks and break through the docks. Many of the foreign devils had left their homes because they were too poor to survive in their own country.

There was no way for them to leave this place. They had to find a way to move as far away from the war as possible from the mainland to the southern Philippines.

In this entire city's escape, the citizens who were friendly with the Chinese seemed much calmer. The United States, the United Kingdom, Fu Sang and a few Prussian s all displayed their own national flags in front of their own doors and then hoarded a large amount of food as they waited in peace.

However, they still needed to have some weapons in their hands, but these weapons were not to guard against the Chinese, but against a possible mob.

When the furious General En Mu left the General Governor's Mansion, the Manila in front of him had already lost its usual bustle and had turned into a city that was about to collapse.

”What are the police doing? Why didn't you come to maintain order! ”

”General!” ”The general is in trouble. The six cannons guarding Manila Bay on Mount Sanli have been attacked by the Chinese troops. They are currently in a fierce battle!”

”Damn it!” Immediately send reinforcements! ”

Manila Bay was formed mainly under the protection of the peninsula in the northern province of Badan, and the Sanli Mountains had been inserted into the sea to form a huge peninsula, blocking the storm and the enemy attack.

At the southernmost point of the peninsula was a mountain with an elevation of over 1,400 meters.

At the foot of the mountain, Spaniard had constructed a series of naval defense cannons along the coastline. Amongst them, the six cannons controlling the mouth of the bay at the southernmost tip of the peninsula were the strongest.

When the Sanli Mountain Pass was captured, the special forces of the Chinese army started to infiltrate towards the south. The most important task of the SPECIAL SERVICES, who had rich experience in war in these forests, was not to attack the fort, but to create a terrifying atmosphere for the Manila City through constant harassment.

General En Mu understood the importance of life lines in the sea too well. When the cannons were under attack, he immediately ordered the rest of the naval cannons to send four thousand reinforcements to the peninsula.

The originally clumsy military strength was now even more insufficient. The moment the general's aide-de-de-camp raised a question, the arrogant General En Mu rejected it.
