By the time Sirapizo returned to Iquique, the three remaining forts had raised white flags, and Chinese troops were receiving prisoners at the gates of the forts.

The respectful Peruvian commander sent his swords and guns to the Chinese, and one by one he lowered his eyebrows and looked like his angry little daughter-in-law.

The Peruvian army could not hold out any longer, the warships at sea were their only hope, and now the fleet was being slaughtered one-sidedly, many of the indigenous soldiers were no longer in command, and the white commanders had no choice but to surrender.

Peruvian soldiers were disarmed and locked in empty houses, and the Taiping army was counting the captures of the war, muskets, artillery, various supplies, and gold coins...... All this should have been the responsibility of the logistics officers of Silapizo, but now no one dared to snatch even a single gold coin from the Chinese.

The whole battle was fought by the Chinese themselves, and what qualifications do they have to call the shots.

"General Tie, Ambassador Tang...... What's going on on the sea, and what kind of reinforcements are they?" Silapizo asked.

"Which country's reinforcements? Do you still need to ask this kind of question, besides our Chinese in the Ryukyus will help you, which country will take care of you? Of course, it will be our warship......

Silapizo swallowed and asked incredulously, "Your warship, this is impossible, I only saw the shadow of a warship, you actually have such a terrifying weapon, please don't lie to me......"

Tietou Tuo said proudly, "I told you a long time ago that our prime minister is a true dragon who came on the wind and thunder, and he is the creator of all incredible miracles, why don't you believe it?"

"Ordinary people......" Tietoutuo glanced at him, threw out such a sentence in Chinese that no one could translate, and turned his head to look at the wounded soldiers.

After all, Tang Lei has diplomatic training, so there are still basic etiquette, he said lightly, "General, we have too many brothers killed and wounded in this war, they have anger in their hearts, please understand!"

"Of course, I have informed the logistics officer that there is also the main base in the rear, and that all medical supplies and supplies will be delivered to your army as a matter of priority...... But I have a reluctant request, I want to board that ship and have a look, okay?"

"This?" Tang Lei hesitated a little, "I'm sorry, neither General Tie nor I have been authorized by the command of the Navy, we can't order that battleship, I can only send a request to them, as for whether to agree or not, I'm afraid it's hard to say!"

At this moment, on the western sea, three fireworks of two green and one orange exploded into the sky, Tang Lei shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, our battleship sent a signal, they will not anchor in Iquique, but move west...... But the commander of this battleship will land, and whether he sees you or not depends on luck!"

At this moment, no one dares to accuse these Chinese of arrogance, war is the most direct stage to show strength, the performance of the Chinese navy and army has moved the three countries of South America, I believe that it will not take half a month for the entire South America to be shocked by this war.

The bloody battle was followed by a tense wound-licking phase, when the northern Peruvian city of Arica received the news of the defeat of Iquique, those 5,000 miscellaneous reinforcements who were about to set off were so frightened that they did not dare to come out, and the commander and the mayor ordered to build fortifications in Arica's place at the same time, for fear that those Chinese killers would take advantage of the victory and pursue them.

Immediately afterwards, the Peruvian capital Lima shook, hundreds of thousands of citizens couldn't believe their ears, Iquique lost enough shock, but I didn't expect that even the navy was finished.

The port of Callao did not see the returning warships until three days later, and I don't know whether it was luck or mockery, but most of the Peruvian admirals actually returned alive, and the second flagship, the Lima, was just like the one that came back from the garbage recycling depot, and the sailors were paddling.

The entire hull of the ship was blown black, and the iron armor that turned over the opening told the cruelty of the naval battle, and the original towering chimney was blown off by a third, looking like a chocolate bar that had been bitten by someone.

The deck was stained with wounded soldiers wrapped in gauze, who looked down at the citizens of the harbor with their heads down, unable to utter a word of shame.

"Oh God, what have you encountered?" the soldiers could not answer.

Henry, an arms dealer in Lima, was shocked when he heard the news of the defeat at Iquique, and the wine glass in his hand was shattered, and the loss of that dilapidated desert city had nothing to do with him, but the defeat in the naval battle was very incredible to him.

"Send all our intelligence officers immediately, we must get all the information about this battleship, and inform the London side to take action, this war is no longer a conflict between small South American countries, and the sea power of the British Empire has been threatened!"

"Are these Chinese going against the sky? How did they do it? What happened on the sea?"

No one knew the answer, and in the following days, a number of warships returned to the port, and when the number of ships returning reached eleven, none of them returned.

According to post-war statistics, six of the only 11 warships left in the Peruvian Navy could not be repaired at all and could only be scrapped, and the remaining five ships needed at least a year and a half of overhaul before they could barely go to the battlefield, which means that the Peruvian Navy was completely scrapped.

The news has now spread throughout South America, all countries are silent, Peru and Bolivia are frantically expanding their armies, but they are only building fortresses on the border and do not dare to have the slightest counteroffensive.

The myth of the invincibility of the Chinese army spread like a virus on the South American continent, and there was even a company of Taiping troops flying pennants and swaggering through the city within the range of a regiment of enemy troops, but the enemy did not dare to fire a single shot.

When the war reached a stalemate, Rear Admiral Cirapizo finally saw Xiang Ying, the commander of the legendary warship, and when he found that the commander was so young, his eyes were bigger than a cowbell.

If you hadn't deliberately lied to me, I think I would have understood the reason for your victory, and only such a young admiral would dare to take such a military adventure...... To put it bluntly, if the average age of your generals is like this, your future is really unimaginable!"

Xiang Ying and the officer corps were dressed in formal suits, and took out a navy dress that was not easy to wear at the bottom of the box, with gorgeous ornaments and golden tassels, and an imitation Tang knife hanging from his waist, white gloves, and a pure gold star made of pure gold on a patent leather large-brimmed hat shone brightly.

"Hello, General Silapizo, we don't have much time, I will only stay in Iquique for three days, now are we going to negotiate the next step?
