Chapter 1299: Take a long-term view

More than 2,000 cavalry charged towards the city together, coupled with the bullets in the sky, the Zulu people were obviously shocked, just in an instant, at least twenty or thirty Zulu soldiers were shot and fell to the city!

As for Gnarda, his face was even more earthy, and his lips trembled with fright, he was not his father who had fought everywhere to win a piece of the world, he was just a waste who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, he was a bully on weekdays, bullying and bullying the civilians under his rule, and it was barely okay to deal with the rogues, but let him deal with the German-Austrian Federal Army, not to mention the current German-Austrian Federal Army, even if it was the Boer army before the earliest, he was definitely not an opponent.

With such a large force and crazy firepower, where can Gnarda withstand it?

"Resist, resist, attack immediately!"

Gnarda shouted in panic, "Bisus, Bisus, the soldiers must resist me!" ”

Saying this, Gnarda turned around and ran, don't talk about others, he himself doesn't believe that this group of soldiers under his command can withstand the wolf-like German and Austrian federal army cavalry below!

Hurry up, pack up your things immediately, and run away quickly, Bangkok Qi definitely can't keep it, what's the matter, in a hurry, how much wealth can you take away? It's a loss, it's a real loss......

At the top of the city, the soldiers had already been stunned by the power of the muskets, which were too powerful, but why did the cavalry stop advancing after only hitting a position of about two hundred meters? You can't be intimidated by our crossbows, right?

The confused soldiers realized in the next moment, it was not that they were timid, but that they were unwilling to engage with their own soldiers, two hundred meters away, the carbine could completely cause huge casualties to the soldiers on the city, and if they moved forward, they would suffer the return of the Zulu people's strong bows and crossbows, causing unnecessary losses.

Zhang Hexiang is not a fool, naturally he will not fail to understand this truth, and now shoot from a distance, completely frightening the opponent, and then launch an attack.

More than 2,000 cavalry kept shooting at the city at a distance of about 200 meters, and the Zulu soldiers, who were originally preparing to fight back, scattered in a hurry after paying the price of hundreds of casualties. I can't fight back if I get beaten, and if I continue to fight, I'm afraid that a thousand soldiers won't even be able to touch people's hair, and they will have to die!

Seeing that the Zulu soldiers on the head of the city have run away, Zhang Hexiang waved his hand, and the soldiers rushed up to the city, in less than half an hour, the cavalry surrounded the city of Bangkok Qi impenetrable, and began to launch a general attack on the city, without the resistance of the Zulu soldiers, the city defense of Bangkok Qi City was like paper, and it was effortless to capture the city gate of Bangkok Qi, and the army rushed into Bangkok Qi City like a whirlwind.

At this time, Gnarda was still packing up the gold and silver at home, ready to escape, so where was the time?

Genada was blocked by the cavalry led by Zhang Hexiang, and after a short time, he was tied up by the cavalry like a zongzi and came to Zhang Hexiang.

"General Zhang, regimental commander, this is the city lord of Qicheng in Bangkok, and he is also the chief of this small tribe, his name is Gnada, and he was about to escape, and we caught one of them!"

The cavalry company commander Cruze exclaimed excitedly.

Zhang Hexiang nodded and replied: "Okay, there is nothing to be happy about taking a Bangkok Qi, this is not our goal, our goal is to take Richards Bay and even Durban, this small Bangkok Qi will be left to the future Eswatini......"

"General Zhang, are we really going to give these territories to Eswatini? This, this! ”

Galen, the cavalry commander on the side, asked in a snort.

"Of course!"

Zhang Hexiang glanced at Galen and replied, "Do you still want to regret it?" Galen, we are not strong enough to be unscrupulous in South Africa, we must establish national credit, if we repent, tear up the treaty, I am afraid that we will fall into the war with Eswatini, even if Eswatini does not dare to turn the face of war with the German-Austrian Federation, then what about the future, once the German-Austrian Federation and the British Empire directly fight, are you not afraid that Eswatini will fight with the German-Austrian Federal Republic in the back? ”

Forehead......

Galen's face turned red, as Boers, it is not that they are untrustworthy, but that their displacement over the years has made the Boers have an extreme desire for land, and only by owning a vast territory can the Boers feel safe in their hearts.

"Okay, don't ask so much, remember, now is not the time to make enemies everywhere, we can't even sell our friends for a little profit, in that case, who will be friends with you? In the future, when the German and Austrian Federal Republic faces a foreign invasion, who will help you? Galen, remember one thing, people, must have a long-term vision, must be broad-minded, so that they can move to a higher position......"

Zhang Hexiang said with a smile.

Galen nodded again and again, and said ashamedly: "Yes, what General Zhang taught me is that I was fascinated by interests, what should we do next?" ”

Zhang Hexiang sneered: "Immediately pass the order, all the generals must do nothing to the local people, send troops to maintain local order, tomorrow we will gather troops and continue to advance south, our time is limited, we must advance the front to the south of Mkuze before the Zulu people react!" Leave a cavalry battalion to maintain order for the time being, and wait for the infantry behind to come and take over Bangkok Qi, and our next target is Botswana and Mkuze! ”

"Yes, General!"

Galen hurriedly agreed.

Just as Zhang Hexiang took Bangkok Qi, the other cavalry regiments simultaneously launched an attack on the Zulu military stronghold in the northeastern region, and several cavalry regiments swept through the Zulu garrison at the northeastern end of the Zulu like a dragon whirlwind, without encountering any decent resistance at all.

In five days, in just five days, all the towns from Eswatini in the west, to the sea in the east, from Bangkok in the north to Sibayi Lake in the south fell into the hands of the German and Austrian federal forces, and six cavalry regiments began to advance further south. With Botswana and Ubangbo in front of the army, the entire northern part of the Zulu Kingdom began to fall into chaos, and there was no resistance to the invasion of the German-Austrian Federation Army!

Even so, it is not just a matter of a few days for news from the north to reach Durban and to Mopanda, and most of Africa now still relies on horsepower to deliver news.

In South Africa, only in the Cape and Transvaal regions there are some developed telegraph networks, the rest of the place is still blank, the entire Zulu Kingdom has only one telegraph line, that is, the telegraph line from Durban to Cape Town, which was laid by the British in order to control the east coast of Africa.

There was no telegram, only horses, and the news could be transmitted back to Morpenda, where could it be done in a short time?

By the time Mo Panda received the news and began to mobilize his army at the same time, he was afraid that it would be ten days later.
