The Spaniards will be suspicious, and they feel a little unbelievable that Tianying will take over their command and command the land battle, but they have no choice but to believe him, but the people who came from afar in Spain this time, of course, are not fledgling chicks, and they will not believe that the Chinese Empire will win this battle, so they have made preparations with both hands.

The commander of the Spanish fleet directly moved his office to the flagship of the fleet, and ordered the flagship to hang half sails and be ready to set sail at any time, and most of the sailors were also transferred to the fleet warships, on standby, leaving only some miscellaneous sailors to help Sky Shadow and them open their cannons, leaving some foreign mercenary gunners and sailors who could be discarded, as well as adventurers, about a hundred or so people in the artillery camp.

Celestial Shadow had to select a number of men from the remaining intelligence officers, about thirty of them to the artillery battalion to take charge of the artillery and artillery, and at the same time to select a number of young and strong soldiers and gunners from among the fishermen or householders who were more enthusiastic about the Spaniards, and who were not very thoughtful, and were near the port, and let the regular Spanish army gunners and officers who were in contact train them.

The rest was in charge of the army units, the land forces of the Spaniards were quite complex, the Spaniards withdrew most of the gunners and musketeers and cavalry trained purely by their own country to the ports and ships, more than 5,000 troops, and even withdrew more than 3,000 troops, leaving more than 300 troops to guard the port, operate the port coastal defense batteries and blockade the port, as well as the material warehouse.

Even the fleet commanders, army majors, noble councillors, merchant nobles, and their servants retreated to the largest of the ports, a mansion that had once been the Dutch governor's palace, guarded by more than fifty Spanish soldiers, more than thirty cavalry heralds, and more than three hundred Spanish soldiers guarding the port, all of whom were regular Spanish elite soldiers, that is to say, regular Spanish soldiers plus officers, plus fleet officers, liaisons, heralds, merchants, and servants on land, but about five hundred.

These 500 or so and more than 3,000 soldiers were all Spaniards, and they were trained sailors and regular army soldiers, while the remaining 1,700 or so were mercenaries from all countries that they recruited, as well as adventurers from the West who came here to dig for gold, vagabonds, immigrants, and poor Westerners, all of them.

These forces, led by a handful of regular Spanish officers, were seven hundred men defending Dhaka, the capital of Bengal, more than three hundred kilometres from Li, and were accompanied by a thousand warriors of the largest clans of Dadaca, and more than three hundred warriors of other tribes who had been recruited on the fly.

More than 1,000 men were left farther away leading more than 5,000 Bengali soldiers, peasants and unemployed men and gangsters, who were resisting the attack of a detachment of troops sent by the British, also led by the British, all the private soldiers and slaves of the various princes and nobles of India, about 10,000 men, and after the defeat of the Spaniards, these forces had retreated to Dhaka, where the Spanish mercenaries were guarding Dhaka.

There were only a few dozen regular army soldiers, five or six Spanish officers, more than thirty Spanish cavalrymen, and more than a hundred people in the Chinese Imperial Observation Group.

Tianying didn't expect the Spaniards to be so desperate, saying that they would throw it to you, and they would withdraw all the troops at once, and withdraw all the Spanish officers and soldiers who entered the command of the coalition army in the Bengal region, two or three hundred mercenaries, dozens of regular soldiers, and five or six Spanish officers, can they manage the private soldiers and warriors of 16,700 people from all directions, not to mention one hundred and fifty tribes and nationalities?

Plus the attachés of the Chinese Empire are not enough.

He had seen the shamelessness of the Spaniards, or rather the Westerners.

Defeated, they took the boat and left, and when they succeeded, they came back to clean up, gave you two words of praise, and then took over the Bengal region, which made you angry and had to do it, and made you suffer a secret loss and have to swallow your anger.

What to do?

If these people in the Chinese Empire helped the Spaniards, then the British would not give up, at least they would detain them, or secretly throw them to the various tribes and states of India, maybe kill them, maybe torture them, this loss is too great.

Celestial Shadow immediately summoned the clerks of the Chinese Empire's observation mission, and then told them to evacuate quickly, inform those who were still where the British were, and evacuate by boat, and within two or three days, at the moment of truce between the two sides, before the next battle, to evacuate to the Siam region bordering Bengal.

A day later, the members of the Chinese Empire's observation team, in addition to the personnel of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, and several combatants were all evacuated, leaving more than 100 combatants, and all of them were concentrated in the Spaniards.

Both the Spaniards and the British are busy preparing for war, they have reasons why they can't fail, but the Spaniards mainly know how to escape, they don't have any confidence in occupying this place, the strength is there, the British have endless Indian human resources, cannon fodder, and the Spaniards will never leave their fleet and more than 5,000 officers and soldiers here for a colony.

Of course, they don't say that they can escape, the British are also actively responding, their fleet is heading here, there must be a big war between the two sides, a sea war, compared to a naval battle, the British pay more attention to land battles, their requirements are not high, just don't let the Spaniards settle here, otherwise with their current fleet strength, they know that they can't beat the Spaniards.

According to the consistent principle of Westerners, they will definitely look for a way to solve the problem through dialogue, and now the British have been in contact with the Spaniards, but they have not talked about it, everyone knows that there must be a war, and the Spaniards still have a series of luck, and the British have to ask for an explanation, otherwise any force will come to them to fight and let it go gently, this is not good, it will be humiliated and thrown home, and the British must recover more benefits, and the British will never suffer.

The two sides secretly gathered forces underneath, and the British had a lot of troops, so they attacked all over the place, and the mountains and fields bloomed all over the place, and the main battle here was a decisive battle, where almost all the tribes and towns in Bengal had been occupied, except for the capital city of Dhaka and the port city.

With so many enemies in the face, the first thing Celestial Shadow had to do was to take control of the main army of the current Spaniards, of course, the tribal and clan army in Bengal that supported the Spaniards.

In addition to transferring all the wounded to the port and letting the Spaniards take care of them, Sky Shadow and the Spanish fleet commander and army major met all the tribal elders and clan chiefs, as well as the leaders they were responsible for commanding, and then assigned tasks, with the endorsement of the Spaniards, these people were still very obedient, maybe they had long been dissatisfied with the British rule, just like the Burmese in World War II in later generations, who regarded the Japanese as saviors and helped the Japanese resist the British and American forces, as well as the expeditionary force.
