Chapter 151 The Second Offensive (Part 2)

Alysandra and Alves looked in the direction of Moya's finger and saw countless fire spears flying out of the formation of the physiological army, bringing out waves of black smoke, and flying towards their own formation.

"What is this?" When this idea just flashed in Alisandra's mind, the Thunderbolt rockets launched by the merchant army fell into the Spanish army's formation.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom-"

With a series of explosions, the iron sand and grease filled with rockets splashed out from the Spanish army's positions. Suddenly, many Spanish soldiers and indigenous Manila soldiers were hit by the iron sand and grease and died. Many people also splashed with grease on their bodies, igniting fire, and rolling all over the ground, screaming endlessly.

"Is this a unique weapon for physiological humans?" Even Alisandra, who had been strong and calm, couldn't help but change her lust. Although there were rockets on the European battlefield and grenades appeared at this time, for them, this primitive rocket launcher was still an advanced weapon. In another time and space, it would take forty or fifty years to appear on the European battlefield. Moreover, the Spanish soldiers did not know how many such weapons their opponents had, and the morale of the army began to shake.

But officers such as Allysandra, Alves, Moya and others were equipped with monoculars. It can be clearly seen that the thunderbolt rockets were shot out from a large box, and dozens of thunderbolt rockets could be sprayed from each wooden box. At this time, dozens of these large wooden boxes were arranged on both sides of the positions, facing the Spanish army's positions.

Alisandra couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It seems that this expedition is simply a mistake. The physiological army is not something we can defeat."

Ahweis also said: "It seems that our reinforcements must have been blocked by the physiological army, so they did not come here. Miss, this time we are probably finished."

Moya said: "I didn't expect that I would die on the land of a physiological person. If I had known this, I would not have known that I would stay in Europe and participate in the battle. At least I could die on the battlefield in my hometown."

Alisandra suddenly said, "Arves, why did the physiological person stop attacking?"

Alves was also stunned. Then he realized that after the first round of the Thunderbolt Rocket was launched, the opponent was sure that he had not attacked again, and even the artillery stopped bombarding. He couldn't help but say, "Yes, it's so strange. Is it difficult for our reinforcements to come? But the physiognomy did not retreat, and he didn't hear the gunshot?"

At this moment, three figures appeared from the opposite position and slowly walked towards him. They raised their hands high and signaled that they did not take a weapon. Because they were far away, they could not see their appearance clearly.

Alisandra hurriedly picked up the telescope again, put it on her eyes, and suddenly screamed: "It's Andre!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

An hour ago, in the Spanish army's beach positions.

Delapena stood up from her seat and said, "Earl Joaquin, the time is almost over, and the team has finished the assembly. It's time for us to set off." As he said that, he picked up the sword from the command table and prepared to walk out.

However, Hua Jin did not stand up and said, "Your Excellency Commander, please cancel this order."

Delapener was stunned and said, "Why? Earl Joaquin, what do you mean by saying that?"

Joaquin took out a letter from his underwear pocket and handed it to Dela Pena, saying, "Commander, I think you should know the king's emblem seal, so you will not doubt the authenticity of this letter."

Delapena took the letter and looked carefully, nodded and said, "This is indeed the king's emblem seal, which means that this letter was handed to you by His Majesty the King."

Joaquin said: "Please read it, this is my real purpose in coming here."

Delapener pulled out the letter, and after reading it, his face changed drastically, saying, "Why do the king want you to come to the Far East to deal with Captain Gonzalez?"

Joaquin said lightly: "Because Marquis Gonzalez betrayed the empire and was imprisoned by His Majesty the King. Now, only Lieutenant Alisandra, the entire Gonzalez family, was not punished. Therefore, His Majesty sent me here."

Delapener put down his letter and said, "When she was in the military camp just now, why didn't you tell me that I could order her arrest at that time. No need to send her to the battlefield of death."

Joaquin smiled and said, "Commander, because Captain Allysandra is an excellent soldier, I hope to give her a glorious chance to die in battle. What do you think?"

In fact, Joaquin was afraid that after arresting Alisandra, the officers under her subordinates would be dissatisfied and launched a mutiny, so he used this method of killing people with a knife. However, his sophistry was very tempted by De La Pena. Therefore, De La Pena thought for a while and finally nodded and said, "It's better to die gloriously on the battlefield than to be executed by his own country and die on the gallows. This is the way for a soldier to die."

Then he shouted: "Guard."

He lifted the curtain of the tent, and a soldier came in and said, "Commander, what are the instructions?"

Dela Pena said: "Order the team to disband and today's battle plan will be cancelled."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Andre, how did you come to the Far East? And you came from the physiological position. Oh! Tian Ye, you are so tall, and Uncle Suarez, are you here too?" Alisandra suddenly saw her younger brother in a foreign country, and she was also surprised and confused.

Their housekeepers Suarez and Arconia were also in front of the Spanish army with Andre. Andre was still a child after all. After going through a lot of hardships, he finally saw the sister he was looking for and couldn't help crying.

Alisandra hurriedly hugged her younger brother and comforted him, "Okay Andre, don't cry, with a sister here, you don't have to worry about anything." She turned around and asked the housekeeper again, "Uncle Suarez, how did you get it back?"

Suarez smiled bitterly and said, "Yani, I can only tell you a piece of unfortunate news, your father, my master, Marquis of Suarez, and the entire Gonzalez family in Spain, were imprisoned by the king for mercy. In addition to me and Andre."

"How could this happen!" Alisandra's face turned pale as if she was hit by five thunders. "Yesterday Earl Joaquin Olivares came to the camp and told me that my father was appointed as the Minister of the Army by the king. How could he be imprisoned by the king?"

Suarez said: "Jaguin Olivarez? It turns out that he has also come to the Far East. Yani, the one who suggested to the king that imprisonment of his master was Prime Minister Olivarez."

It turned out that at the beginning of the year, Philip IV did appoint Marquis Gonzalez as the Secretary of the Army, and was responsible for the military affairs of the entire empire, hoping that he could use his military talents to save Spain's baldness. However, Marquis Gonzalez believed that the current power of Spain was unable to deal with the Protestant alliance dominated by France, Sweden and the Netherlands. Therefore, he suggested that Philip IV should negotiate with the French, Swiss and the Netherlands while Spain still had certain strength, sign a peace treaty, and recognize the status of Protestantism, recognize the independence of the Netherlands, and gain a chance to breathe for himself.

However, Marquis Gonzalez's correct suggestion aroused strong dissatisfaction from Philip IV. In addition, Prime Minister Olivarez added oil and ester on the side. In anger, Philip IV ordered that the position of Marquis Gonzalez would be removed from his position as Minister of Army and imprisoned him. At the same time, he was afraid of arousing the dissatisfaction and resistance of the entire Gonzalez family, so he ordered that the Gonzalez family be arrested and imprisoned.

Fortunately, someone informed Marquis Gonzalez one step in advance, so Marquis Gonzalez made his most trusted servant, the housekeeper Suarez, fled Spain with his youngest son Andre, and went to Manila to find Alisandra to protect him, and asked her to prepare in advance. He knew that Andre and his party had encountered pirates on the way. If they had not been rescued by Shang Yi, they would have died before they arrived in Manila.

When Olivarez learned that Andre had escaped Spain, he also estimated that they would go to Manila to find Alisandra. A mere Andre was insignificant, but Alisandra had an elite army of the Gonzalez family. This was a big trouble, so he asked the king for his order and sent his son Joaquin to Yazhou to get rid of Alisandra. This is what happened this whole thing.

After Shang Yi captured Viscount Soldado, he interrogated in detail the situation of the Spanish Expeditionary Force, the identity and origin of the commander, etc. Soldado also told all the things he knew, including the situation of Deputy Commander Alisandra.

After hearing Soldado's confession, he interrogated several other soldiers, and what he said was similar. Shang Yi immediately wanted Andre and his party to compare the two and the next time. Now he could basically understand the purpose of Andre and his party coming to Manila, which was to find Alisandra and his brother to visit his sister. This was also reasonable, and it was completely unintentional to run into him.

But Shang Yi soon discovered that there was an unreasonable situation here, that is, why Andre didn't tell himself that he was here to find Alisandra, because the Spanish Expeditionary Fleet was not to conquer China at the beginning, but to open up China's trade line. Conquering China was just a decision by De La Perna himself to change it without authorization. Andre could not know. In addition, there was no major conflict between Spain and the Ming Dynasty, and the two countries were not hostile forces. There was no need to conceal the purpose of this trip from them.

Moreover, Alisandra is also a military officer in Spain to Manila, and her status is not low, so she should tell herself that in order to increase her value and make herself think that she can get a generous reward if she lets them go, so from this point of view, it is too unreasonable.

Then it can only be said that Andre and his party came to Manila to find Alisandra for a secret trip and could not be known to others, and there may be a lot of articles here.

Although Shang Yi didn't know the inside story, he decided to figure it out, maybe he could use it.
