Yang Zhong led 90,000 cavalry to launch a surprise attack, annihilating more than 30,000 main British troops besieging Mexico City in one fell swoop.

Governor Cortés was simply ecstatic, one moment he was still worried, worried that the British army would break through the fortress due to the lack of food, grass and ammunition, and the next moment the British army fell like wheat harvesting, and tens of thousands of horsemen appeared outside the city like divine soldiers.

Look at that flag, it turned out to be the alliance of the Ming Empire, Spain and Portugal!

He hurriedly opened the city gate and went to welcome him.

Yang Zhong did not mean to enter the city to rest, Mexico City was only his first stop, and he didn't know how many places to go later, he was ready to give full play to the advantages of cavalry, constantly raid and raid, and surprise again, and catch the British army off guard, so that not only could the battle be quickly resolved, but also reduce casualties.

The most important thing at the moment was not to rest, but to interrogate the captives, who knew nothing about the situation elsewhere, and it was not a matter for him to run blindfolded, and he was eager to ask the prisoners about the situation in other places before making plans.

This time he was lucky, it was the army commander of the British army who attacked the American continent who commanded the siege operation here, and under the slightly rough torture of the Ming army, he finally couldn't stand the torture and made all the moves.

On the whole, the situation in the Americas was not too bad, because the British army had limited forces, and they only sent two armies with a total of 100,000 men to attack the Spanish Viceroyalty of New Spain and the Portuguese colony of Brazil.

As for the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru, it was originally reserved for Sweden and Denmark, but their land forces were all pulled to Tsarist Russia, and there was no one at all, so they had to give up for the time being.

In other words, as long as the 50,000 British troops attacking Brazil are driven away, the entire American continent will be the world of the Habsburg League.

Yang Zhong consulted with Cortés, the governor of New Spain, for a while, and finally decided to leave 20,000 Spanish cavalry here to assist Cortés in clearing the remaining British army, while he led 60,000 cavalry to South America to help Portugal and drive away the 50,000 British troops there.

After all, the British troops scattered in the Viceroyalty of New Spain are now less than 20,000 troops, and only 20,000 Spanish cavalry can win against them, not to mention that there are already 20,000 or 30,000 Spanish garrisons here, and it will definitely not be a problem to clean up the remaining British troops.

Early the next morning, Yang Zhong led 60,000 cavalry to rush back to Acapulco, preparing to set off by boat from there to Lima, the capital of the Peruvian Viceroyalty, and then find a way to rush to El Salvador, the capital of the Portuguese and Brazilian colonies.

On the second day, the fleet continued south along the coastline, and after about four days it arrived at Lima, the capital of the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru, where the situation was relatively calm without a British attack.

However, according to the Governor of Lima's estimates, there are nearly 2,000 miles from Lima to El Salvador, and the road in the middle is not easy to walk, even if you ride a horse, it will take at least half a month to arrive.

This is a bit troublesome, in half a month, everyone has to bring forty or fifty catties of dry food alone, plus other things, the war horse must be crushed to death.

Yang Zhong couldn't help but sigh, no railway is trouble, but he has to go, this is the emperor's will, no matter how hard it is, he has to go!

He consulted for a long time with the Spanish governor of Peru and the Portuguese officers leading the team, and finally settled on a three-step plan.

The first step was to travel from Lima to Santa Cruz, the nearest city to the Brazilian colony in the Viceroyalty of Peru, where supplies would be replenished;

The second step is to start from Santa Cruz and rush to Goiás in the middle of the Brazilian colony, where there is a Portuguese colonial stronghold, which can be taken back even if it is occupied by the British army, and cannot be obtained;

The third step, set off from Goiás and rush to El Salvador, it will depend on the situation at that time, if the British army does not find out and launch a surprise attack, if the British army finds out, then attack hard, 60,000 cavalry, even if all the 50,000 British troops are there, Yang Zhong has roughly estimated the combat strength of the British army, even if they have artillery, he is not afraid.

In this way, each section of the road lasts five or six days, the food problem is solved, and if you are too tired, you can rest in Santa Cruz and Goiás, which is the safest way to march without railroads.

After a certain discussion, Yang Zhong no longer hesitated, and early the next morning, he led 60,000 cavalry and set off under the guidance of the Spanish guide.

The Viceroyalty of Peru was also very large at this time, including not only Peru and Quito (later Ecuador), but also most of Colombia to the north, most of Bolivia to the east, and most of Argentina to Chile to the south, an area about the size of the Viceroyalty of New Spain.

Santa Cruz is the easternmost city in Bolivia, just over 200 miles from Portugal's Brazilian colony.

After nearly six days of long-distance travel, Yang Zhong finally led 60,000 cavalry to Santa Cruz, all the way in the territory of the Peruvian Viceroyalty, but there was no need to worry about encountering the British army, the march was relatively easy, after resting for a day, replenishing dry food, he led the army to set off again.

After a day's journey eastward, Santa Cruz entered the Portuguese colony of Brazil, and along the way there were still only natives and no trace of the British army, and after six days of careful walking, the army finally arrived at Goiás, the first Portuguese colonial stronghold.

There are still no traces of British troops here, and according to the local garrison, the British army only operated on the Atlantic coast and did not penetrate deep into the interior of the Brazilian colony, which is somewhat similar to the Viceroyalty of New Spain.

However, from the local garrison, Yang Zhong also learned that the British army besieging El Salvador was only more than 20,000 people, and El Salvador was impregnable and was not broken by the British army.

This was a bit of a surprise to him, the cavalry could not attack the city, and if Salvador was taken, he would have to consider switching targets.

Moreover, 60,000 against 20,000 is better than 60,000 against 30,000, after all, if you don't turn the gun head, the cavalry you lead is likely to be shelled.

After resting in Goiás for two days and replenishing dry food for eight days, Yang Zhong continued to lead his army to set off, but this time the guide was replaced by the Portuguese garrison generals in Goiás.

With someone familiar with the terrain leading the way, the march was relatively smooth, and in less than five days, the army reached the vicinity of El Salvador.

Fortunately, the British army still did not find out that the coalition forces had touched behind them this time, maybe the news from New Spain had not yet arrived, or maybe the British army habitually thought that Portugal had no reinforcements, in short, the British army did not make any changes, and the surprise attack was still feasible.

Early in the morning of the sixth day, it was still the old tactic, Yang Zhong directly ordered 60,000 cavalry to dismount and move forward slowly, close to the British sentry post and then mount a surprise attack.

The British army was also the same, and the sentry posts were only sent out for four or five miles, and the defense was extremely lax.

Another classic lightning raid, the main force of 20,000 British troops collapsed in less than a quarter of an hour, the siege of El Salvador was lifted in an instant, and the situation in the Portuguese colony was reversed in an instant.

At this point, the strategic goal of assisting the allies to recapture the American colonies was initially achieved, and the rest was to wipe out the remnants of the British army in various places.
