The night is hazy, and the moon is on the treetops, and the crow falls on a dead branch. The only light is the moonlight reflected in its pupils.

The city of Manila seemed as calm as ever, until a monstrous flames burned west of the city.

"It's gone, it's gone!" The night watchman who was fighting the new night watch anxiously rang the gong and shouted everywhere.

The Spanish soldiers in the city were alarmed and got up from the bed in panic. They grabbed the soft hat beside the bed and covered it with their heads. They ignored the soft hat tilted around and lifted the mesh gun and walked out of the house.

When they saw the fire in the west of the city, they were anxiously busy fetching water to put out the fire. Especially in the important garrisons such as the Governor's Office, a large group of soldiers were also divided into fires to put out the fire.

The rapid footsteps came out of the Governor's Mansion and gradually faded away.

A pair of bright eyes were revealed in the dark streets and alleys near the Governor's Mansion. Their eyes were filled with extremely complex emotions such as excitement, tension, fear, and longing. They had various weapons, muskets, big knives, and spears in their hands.

"Everyone, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity given to us by God. Tonight we will drive away the hateful red-haired people and no longer be oppressed by them! Kill!" The middle-aged merchant held a long sword in his hand and directed the rebels to rush out of the dark streets and alleys and kill towards the Governor's Mansion.

"Kill!" This rebel army with more than 100 people was responsible for attacking the Governor's Office, while other rebel army teams were distributed nearby to block the firefighters who were about to find something wrong.

The Governor's Mansion is nominally a mansion, but in fact it is a small fortress established by Spanish colonists in the city. They are afraid of being retaliated and have strict defenses. However, just now a team of Spanish soldiers came out, and it is difficult to imagine that as soon as they left, someone would hit them.

Bang! A team of rebels held a thick wooden pillar and hit the gate of the Governor's Mansion. The heavy wooden door was hit and the door bolt made a creaking and breaking sound.

"Quick!" the middle-aged merchant urged nervously. As long as he breaks through the door of the Governor's Mansion and captures the colonial officers inside, he believes that the Spanish army in Manila will collapse without fighting.

Gadha. Another sound of a wooden plug breaking, the wooden door of the Governor's Mansion broke out and was slowly pushed open by the rebel soldiers!

Just like a plan, he successfully broke through the Governor's Mansion! The middle-aged businessman was thriving, and he was about to complete the resistance of his ancestors against the red-haired people thirty years ago.

However, when the wooden door of the Governor's Mansion was completely opened, the middle-aged businessman suddenly became ashamed and stood there.

Behind the wooden door of the Governor's House are the cold muzzles of two cannons. The Spanish gunner standing behind the cannon has lit the fuse and covered his ears.

"Retreat!!!" The middle-aged merchant's scalp was numb. The other party's situation obviously knew that they were attacking, so he had already prepared for it!

Boom, boom! The roar of the cannon sounded, and two solid bullets hit the rebel soldiers crowded at the door, and it was immediately blurred with blood! The huge kinetic energy of the solid bullet passed through the bodies of the rebel soldiers and hit the stone wall opposite!

The middle-aged businessman escaped because he dodged aside in time, but the bloody and tragic scene caused by cannons made the rebel soldiers who were besieging the Governor's Office chill in his heart.

"Shopkeeper Wang, how can they set up cannons inside? How can they rush in with their brothers!" The rebel soldiers who hid on the other side of the stone wall of the Governor's Mansion shouted at the middle-aged merchant.

"We were negligent about this method! But after one round of fire of their artillery, it would take time to reload. Now is the time to rush in!" The middle-aged businessman, Manager Wang, also shouted loudly.

"Damn, brothers, you are not afraid of death and rush in and deal with their gunners!"

The rebel soldiers on the opposite side saw that if they could not successfully resolve the two artillery pieces in the Governor's Mansion, the rebels trapped outside the Governor's Mansion would not be able to attack in any case, so they volunteered to rush in.

Bang! A dense gunshot sounded again in the Governor's Mansion. As soon as several rebel soldiers rushed in, they retreated. Two people had been killed by muskets, while the rest were injured.

"Inside... there is a team of musketeers inside. The defense is too tight. They seem to know that we are coming and we cannot conquer the Governor's Mansion!" The rebel soldier who retreated with injuries said in despair.

"How could this happen..." Manager Wang felt a chill behind him. The Governor's Office was suddenly attacked, and there was no reason to organize a counterattack so calmly.

"Wang Wang...Shopkeeper Wang, the people we sent to set fire were captured by the Red Hair. The rebels who ambushed them were defeated by them again. They are returning to the Governor's Office to help us, and we are likely to be surrounded by them!" The rebel soldiers in the other direction almost ran back with their hands and feet and ground to report the bad situation on their side to the leading manager Wang.

When Manager Wang heard the failure of the rebels on the fire, his heart was cold again. He barely leaned against the stone wall and looked at the brothers he led, and found that their eyes were waiting for his decision. At least he would take them out of here! Manager Wang thought to himself.

"Brothers, the Red-haired people are not afraid of danger. It must be because we have made some mistakes in our plan tonight. But now is not a time to be afraid or depressed. We must ensure that we will make a deposit in time." Manager Wang swallowed his fear and stood firm with the help of the people around him. "I know there is a local indigenous tribe in the mountains and forests outside the east of the city, and I know their chiefs, so we can go and ask them for protection. We are there... waiting for the Jiuzhou Army to rescue us."

Under the leadership of Manager Wang, the failed rebel army could only break through to the Dongcheng, which had not yet gathered heavily.

The colonists did not expect the rebels to break through to the east city. They were neglected to guard against the night and escaped by some rebels.

However, a considerable number of the rebels were surrounded and each was annihilated. Some of them were equipped with the Dresses rifles smuggled by the Jiuzhou Army, but they were not trained and could only shoot simply. In addition, most of them were not professional soldiers or mercenaries, and their psychological quality was very poor. Instead, they were killed and defeated by colonial soldiers who used the comb-rope gun.

When the early morning arrived, the rebels in Manila were basically suppressed, and the city gates were controlled by colonial troops everywhere. The rebels and Chinese merchants who were still in the city had nowhere to escape.

"Old Merchant Chen, you Chinese merchants and natives gathered together to rebel last night. We suspect that you are also a co-conspirator, so let's go with us." A team of colonial soldiers broke into the old merchant's house and took him away.

In addition to Mr. Chen, many Chinese businessmen and natives were also arrested because of the soldiers last night. People in Manila were in panic for a while.
