Chapter 1044 Fanatic Spaniards

The city wall collapsed!

The long-term shells, especially the siege cannons, were like giant hammers, constantly knocking on the city wall. Finally, the city wall on the side of the Kinmen suddenly collapsed under the continuous shelling. The seemingly solid stone city wall instantly collapsed a hole several meters wide.

The defenders on the top of the city were stunned for a moment. At this moment, they even thought that the prophets were punishing them, so that for a minute or two, they did not react, but just knelt there and begged God to forgive them.

"Quick, hurry, the Chinese are coming!"

Mufti Farouk shouted loudly at his subordinates as he pointed at the gap.

"Amir, hurry up, lead your people, block the gap, and don't give the Chinese a chance to rush up!"

Looking at the collapsed walls, Mufti Farouk had a cold sweat on his forehead. At this moment, he seemed to have a sense of enlightenment that perhaps today would be the end of the Farouk family's rule over the Holy Land. Since the Saladin era, his ancestors have ruled the Holy Land. Even his family is also called the "Guardian of the Holy Land".

And now, the Farouk family seems to be losing this honor!

What is left of the Farouk family without this title?

Nothing!

Since you are destined to have nothing, then fight for the glory after death!

"The people of the Holy Land, outside the city are pagans from foreign countries. After they attack the Holy City, they will not only kill us, but also force the living to convert to heresy, but they will also destroy everything in this Holy Land. You... Each of you must take up your weapons and defend the Holy City..."

Mufti Farouk, the "guardian of the holy land", shouted loudly. He even pointed at the temple and reminded people with cruel reality what those pagans did. Under his agitation, anger ignited in the hearts of the panic, and the flames of anger swallowed their reason.

They were shouting and shouting slogans. At this moment, death had become an insignificant thing for them. They even wanted to die immediately. There were rewards given to them by the prophets in heaven. Even the lowest-ranking people had 80,000 servants and 72 wives and concubines. Their skin was as fair as clam meat. They could even grow again every day and be virgins...

Death is the best reward given to them by the prophets. Whether the poor or the rich, they become extremely furious at this time. They look at the enemies outside the city with red eyes. At this time, in their eyes, the enemies outside the city are their stepping stones to heaven glorious, and their only way to heaven.

Glory does not only belong to them, but also to those outside the city. Perhaps for the Ming army, Mou Guoxi and others, there was no so-called "holy land emotion" at all, and they could not feel that special glory. However, for the Spaniards outside the city, they were all trapped in religious fanaticism, and like their enemies, they also saw the road to heaven.

From the day they arrived at the city of Jerusalem, they were extremely excited, for them, they were creating history for the first time in five hundred years since Saladin destroyed the Kingdom of Jerusalem and occupied Jerusalem.

For these Spaniards, they were proud to face everyone with this moment alone. Few people could understand the religious fanaticism of the Spanish in this era. Perhaps driven by gold, they went to the New World, but at the same time, in Central America, Colombia, Polivia, and in areas without gold and silver, it was the religious fanaticism that allowed them to persevere. It was even the religious fanaticism that allowed them to drive away the Moors who occupied a large tract of Spanish land.

And now, facing Jerusalem and the city that all Christians are obsessed with, they have all fallen into some kind of religious fanaticism, and they even have an illusion that they are Massiah!

They are the saviors!

It is the God warrior who took this sacred land back from the hands of the pagans.

During the Mass of the Father, the Spanish who knelt before the cross, without exception, were there secretly swearing that they would seize the city and take back the land of God...

And now, this moment is finally coming, and this is the moment they have been waiting for for a long time.

"The Lord's warriors, for the Lord, for our faith!"

The priest in the trench, in his hand, held a cross with a cross flag hanging in his hand and pointed at the city wall.

At this moment, all the Spaniards fell into a certain fanatic mood. They grabbed their hats and knelt there, their eyes staring at the cross and Jerusalem. Although no one spoke, the atmosphere here was solemn and subtle.

Even Mou Guoxi and others in the distance felt the change of the atmosphere. They may not believe in Catholicism, Christ, and Jesus, but just the gods of foreigners. There are so many gods in the Ming Dynasty, including God Haotian, Tathagata of the West, Guanyin of the South China Sea, Mazu on the sea... Just take out one of them, and the master of the Westerners is not enough to see it!

But in the face of such fanaticism, Mou Guoxi and the others fell into silence without exception and stared at the Spaniards. At this moment, he seemed to understand why the Hou of Xining used these Spaniards to take the lead.

Because they are fanatical enough!

They will attack regardless of cost and casualties. For them, death is not the end, but the pinnacle of personal glory.

Of course, the most important thing is... If you take the lead, you will definitely die. For Westerners, no matter how many deaths you die, it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. The lives of Ming people are more precious.

"Lord, bless your servants and your believers, Lord! Today we will die gloriously!"

After making such a prayer, the little Earl Gaspar, who was carrying a sword in his hand, jumped out of the trench without hesitation. Behind him were one thousand two hundred and thirty-six "The Lord's Warriors", among them were the Spaniards, some Catholic Filipino natives, and even some Portuguese and Dutch. These foreigners joined as volunteers when they knew that the Spaniards would go to regain the holy land. They did not need military pay or glory, but just to witness the glory of the Lord.
