Chapter 922: The Capture of Mexico City (2)
After the deliberate propaganda of the Spaniards such as the Duke of Tribweise, the image of the Ming army was seriously deteriorated in the eyes of the Aztecs, and the Ming army became a demon from hell almost in a day, and all the Aztecs feared that the Ming army would conquer Mexico. Nature.2
It has to be said that Duke Tribweis's strategy was a smooth success.
Even though the Aztecs and Spaniards were not friendly and hated the Spaniards, they were able to survive in recent decades, even if the Spanish rule was equally oppressive to them.
During the Aztec Empire, the Aztec population was 15 million, but due to the invasion of the Spanish Empire, not only the Aztec Empire collapsed over the decades, but the Aztec population also disappeared by eighty percent.
The war was a nightmare for the Aztecs.
The Aztecs could not predict whether the invasion of the Ming army at this moment would be the same as the invasion of the Spanish Empire, the war would bring them a devastating blow, or the Ming army was more terrifying than the Spaniards, the invasion of the Spaniards led to a direct reduction of their Aztec population by eighty, if the Ming army was really more ferocious and bloody than the Spaniards, then after the invasion of the Ming army, or the Ming army defeated the Spanish rule of Mexico, what would their Ming army become, it may be even worse than that year.
Whether it was the rumors they heard or the warnings of the Spaniards, the Ming army was a more powerful and terrifying existence than the Spaniards, so the Aztecs preferred to believe the words of the Spaniards, and the rule of the Ming army would also bring a nightmare that was worse than a few decades ago, so they had to help the Spaniards stop the invasion of the Ming army.
"Resist the Ming Empire, you can't let them rule Mexico!" The Aztecs, with the help of the Spaniards, quickly organized a certain amount of armed force.
More and more Aztec youth were gathered and divided into weapons.
In just three days, not only were the Spanish haciendas around Mexico City concentrated, but more than 50,000 Aztec youths were also organized.
When the Ming army reached less than 200 miles from Mexico City, Mexico City gradually gathered 43,000 Spanish troops and 50,000 Aztec troops.
Seeing the effect of the Aztec response, the look in Duke Tribweis's eyes was a little sarcastic and strange.
In fact, when their Spanish Empire attacked the Aztec Empire to establish a Mexican colony, although they did not directly slaughter the Aztecs, it is undeniable that the many infectious diseases that caused the Aztec population to decline sharply were indeed deliberately brought by their Spanish Empire, in order to reduce the population of the Aztecs, so that their Spanish Empire could better rule Mexico.
At the beginning, the Spanish Empire indirectly wiped out eighty percent of the Aztec population, which can be said to be an absolute blood feud, but now the Aztecs are not trying to help the Spanish Empire resist foreign enemies.
That's where the sarcasm and weirdness come from in Tribweis's eyes.
Anyway, no matter what, as long as the Aztecs responded.
With a total of nearly 100,000 people of resistance, and Mexico City as a backing, Duke Tribwes's confidence in resisting the Ming army was so little.
---------------------------------
However, Duke Tribwes still felt that it was not enough, and while gathering Spanish immigrants to arm and stop the Aztecs, Duke Tribwes also asked people to notify Duke William and other British troops stationed on the southeast coast of Mexico City, hoping that Duke William could bring nearly 30,000 British troops under his command to Mexico City to help him resist the Ming army.
In order to convince Duke William, Duke Tribweiss also promised that after defeating the Ming army in Mexico City, he would take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill the thirteen states of North America and help Duke William recapture the thirteen states of North America.
Such promises, of course, are just empty promises in words, and will Duke William be so stupid? Apparently not!
"Hey, damn Spaniard, am I a fool when William?" Duke William sneered.
Although the number of the Ming army's attack this time was only about 30,000, it was not much different from the last time they fought with their Anglo-Spanish army in the south of the thirteen states of North America, and the last time their Anglo-Spanish army of 85,000 people attacked by the 30,000 Ming army, it was not a complete defeat and was easily defeated by the Ming army.
This time, Tribwes's guy was able to gather more than 40,000 Spanish troops in Mexico City, while the British army under his command now only had more than 20,000 left, which was less than the last decisive battle in the south of the thirteen states in North America, even with Mexico City as a backing, he definitely didn't think they would have a chance to defeat the Ming army of about 30,000.
As for the 50,000 Aztecs, Duke William didn't bother to calculate at all, just a useless indigenous rabble, and they didn't have any combat power in the face of them, let alone the Ming army, which was much stronger than them.
"That idiot of Tribwes, only the five-nation alliance army has the possibility of defeating the Ming army, relying on him alone, Spain, even if he goes to England, he has no chance of winning at all, and a large-scale battle with the Ming army is the most wasteful and stupid behavior!"
"That's right! He's an idiot! Like that guy in Orlang, they're all idiots! Last time, I said that the ambition of the Ming army could never be just the thirteen North American states of my England, and it was inevitable to attack their colonies of Canada and Mexico, but these two fools did not listen to me, and repented when the Five Nations Alliance Army was about to be established! Now retribution is coming! God can't even look down on your stupidity! Duke William, the commander of the British army, said with great disdain.
Duke William not only did not agree to Tribweis's request, did not take the British army under his command to help Tribwes defend Mexico City, but also persuaded Tribweis to abandon Mexico, take the army south, and wait for the formation of the Five Nations Alliance Army to counterattack the Ming army.
When Tribweth received a reply from Duke William and learned that Duke William had refused to bring his British troops to help him defend Mexico City, he was immediately furious.
"Damn William, I regret letting you stay in Mexico, damn it! Damn it! Tribweth stomped the Duke William's letter on the ground.
"And let me give up Mexico, it's impossible! I would never agree with it! Tribweth said angrily.
He had let Duke William stay on the east coast of Mexico with more than 20,000 remnants of soldiers, so that if the Ming army invaded Mexico, the more than 20,000 British troops could help him resist the Ming army, but now, William actually refused to defend Mexico City with him, which made him not angry.
In fact, Tribwes didn't know the strength of the Ming army, and he didn't know that it was not easy for him to hold Mexico City, but let him just give up Mexico and give Mexico to the Ming army, he couldn't do it, and he couldn't accept it!
Regardless of whether Duke William agreed to bring his British troops to Mexico City to defend Mexico City with him, they were all going to fight the Ming army in Mexico City.
The Ming army was on Mexico City in one day at most, and Tribvez urgently brought more than 40,000 Spanish troops and 50,000 Aztec troops to consolidate Mexico City's defenses.
On October 30, Yan Yingyuan led the Ming army to capture the castle of Taranpantra on the outskirts of Mexico City, and finally landed in Mexico City.
