Chapter 927: The Decisive Battle of Panama (2)

On November 28, in Mexico City, the number of Ming troops replenished reached 62,000, of which 25,000 were cavalry and 37,000 were infantry. Heavenly Soundγ€Žγ€Ž.』 2

The Great 6 of the Americas is very far away from the Central Plains, and it is not easy to transport war horses, so for Yan Yingyuan, it is very rare to get cavalry in the Great 6 Army of the Americas, so Yan Yingyuan let the Ming troops who stayed in various places be infantry, and almost all of the cavalry have been following him south to attack the colonies of European countries.

"Attack!" The next day, more than 60,000 Ming troops were divided into multiple routes, and under the orders of Yan Yingyuan, they left Mexico City and continued southward to capture the entire Mexican colony.

Since the number of Spanish troops left in Mexico was already very small, the Ming army encountered little resistance, and soon captured the Mexican territory south of Mexico City, completely occupying the whole of Mexico, and advancing the front to Central America near Panama.

If it is according to the degree of the Ming army's southward attack, it will not take ten days for the Ming army to be able to kill Panama, and Panama will continue to move south, it will be the big 6 in South America.

"They must be stopped! Now the whole army is going north! Duke William, the titular supreme commander of the Five-Nation Alliance, appealed loudly.

The commanders of the other four countries agreed that they could not tolerate the Ming army attacking South America, and since they had completed the assembly of the alliance army, they would take the initiative to go north and counterattack the Ming army!

Immediately, the 364,000 Nation Alliance Army, led by the commander of the Five Nations, marched north from Colombia.

The two sides, one to the south and the other to the north, are about the same distance from Panama, and it is likely that they will meet back in Panama.

In fact, on December 5, Yan Yingyuan and other Ming troops captured San Jose City in Costa Rica in northern Panama, and advanced into Panama, while the troops of the Five Nations Alliance had already entered Panama.

On 7 December, after capturing the entire territory of Costa Rica, the Ming army also entered Panamanian territory through the border with Costa Rica.

By the time they entered Panama, the Ming army had to divide its troops to stay in the captured areas, and the number of the army had been reduced to 45,000 men, a decrease of nearly 20,000.

Yan Yingyuan had actually learned the news that the Five Nations Alliance Army had more than 360,000 troops heading north to Panama, although the number of the Five Nations Alliance Army was more than eight times that of the Ming Army under his command, but neither Yan Yingyuan himself nor other Ming generals took the seemingly large Five Nations Alliance Army in their eyes.

"The rabble, no matter how many there are, is not the opponent of my Ming army, let you take a look at it now, the real combat effectiveness of my Ming army!" Yan Yingyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness.

The purpose of the Ming Dynasty's Pacific Inland Lake Plan is to capture the entire American 6, whether it is the North American 6 or the South American 6, they will all be included in the Ming Dynasty's rule, and the blocking of the Five Nations Alliance Army can only make their heads bleed.

Panama was one of the earliest Spanish colonies, having been a Spanish colony more than 150 years ago and has been run by the Spanish for more than 150 years.

In addition to Panama City, the largest, many other strongholds were built into cities, but these cities were not enough to withstand the attack of the Ming army.

In two days, the Ming army broke through more than ten castles, defeated the indigenous army formed by tens of thousands of Spaniards and the Spaniards' own left-behind army, and advanced into Panama City, the largest city in Panama.

In terms of the five-nation alliance army, they have long been stationed in Panama City, relying on the defense around Panama City to build defenses, preparing for a decisive battle with the southbound Ming army in Panama City, they plan to defeat the southbound Ming army, and then continue to go north, and finally achieve the goal of driving the Ming army out of the Americas.

"Marshal, Panama City is ahead, the Five Nations Alliance Army has already built a defense, and it seems that it is going to fight a decisive battle with our army in Panama City!" The Ming army spies rode their horses to Yan Yingyuan and reported the news to Yan Yingyuan.

Yan Yingyuan nodded and said, "The army continues to advance and annihilate the Five Nations Alliance Army in Panama City!" In his words, he did not take the Five Nations Alliance Army, which was eight times his size, in his eyes, as if no matter how many the Five Nations Alliance Army was, it was just a vulnerable rabble in his eyes.

Half an hour later, the Ming army advanced under Panama City, and immediately took the initiative to attack the five-nation alliance army that relied on Panama City to build a defense.

"The Ming army is coming! Against! Against! "On the side of the five-nation alliance army, the alarm bell sounded, and the soldiers of the alliance army urgently prepared for battle.

The dark clouds of war loomed over Panama City all over the city.

The huge army of 364,000 people of the five-nation alliance army, even if Panama City has been exhibited by the Spanish for more than 150 years, it is not a big city, and it can accommodate about 70,000 soldiers of the five-nation alliance army at most at one time, and more soldiers of the five-nation alliance army still rely on Panama City to form a defense on all sides, and the entire Panama City defensive front is ten miles from east to west, north and south, even if the artillery range of the Ming army cannot be completely covered.

With such a large defensive front, the Ming army may be strong, but if you want to defeat such a front, you also need to think carefully and plan.

Yan Yingyuan did not let the Ming army immediately enter the cannon range of the Five Nations Alliance Army.

On a high slope eight miles away from Panama City, Yan Yingyuan used a telescope to inspect the defensive positions of the Five-Nation Alliance Army outside Panama City, and clearly understood that the more than 360,000 troops of the Five-Nation Alliance Army relied on Panama City to establish a huge defense.

"In the face of such a huge front, if you attack rashly, even if you will still win in the end, the army will have a lot of casualties!" After Yan Yingyuan finished speaking, he fell silent, presumably thinking about the most appropriate way to attack.

In the defensive position of the Five Nations Alliance Army, Duke William and others also saw the traces of the Ming army from a high place through their unique monocular telescopes, but the Ming army had not really attacked them and entered the range of their artillery, and the war had not yet begun.

Yan Yingyuan knew the specific number of the Five Nations Alliance Army, and Duke William and others also knew the specific number of the Ming Army.

"The Ming army only has 40,000 troops, and they still dare to come to Panama City, and our five-nation alliance army is more than nine times their size, do they still think that they can still win? Hehe, are they too arrogant or too ignorant, the arrogant Ming army is bound to fail! Duke William smiled confidently.

"God will surely bless us for defeating the arrogant Ming army!" The Marquis of Orlang also clenched his fists and smiled confidently.

The Ming army attacked all the way south from Mexico City, and left the soldiers all the way to defend the city, scattering the forces, and when they arrived in Panama City, there were only 40,000 people left, when they first got the news, Duke William and others all laughed, the more arrogant the Ming army, the greater the chance of defeat, on the contrary, the greater the chance that they defeated the Ming army and eventually drove the Ming army out of the Americas.
