Near the middle of the Colorado River at night, the Spanish joint venture for more than ten miles was in flames.

The warriors of the Jaguar and Leopard Cavalry of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, divided into 20 thousand teams, rampage through the joint camp, wantonly slashing and killing the chaotic Spanish soldiers, and setting fire to the Spanish barracks, as well as food, grass, gunpowder and other supplies.

The Spanish army's joint camp was suddenly attacked by the heavy cavalry of the Chinese Empire, and it was not possible to organize effective defensive and counterattack measures in a hurry. Faced with the heavy cavalry of the Chinese Empire, armed to the teeth, the Spanish soldiers wanted to cry without tears and had to flee for their lives.

Some Spanish officers organized small armies to resist, but surrounded by the heavy cavalry of the Chinese Empire on all sides, they blocked the cavalry in front, but could not stop the cavalry on the flanks and behind.

The Spanish soldiers had enough experience against cavalry, although they had no experience in the face of the heavy cavalry of the Chinese Empire, but after the battle of the city of Tongguò Huaruiz, although they could not directly repel the enemy, they could at least defend it.

However, the Spanish army at this time had a fatal weakness in the battle, that is, once the enemy army was close to it, then the whole army would be defeated.

This was mainly due to the fact that the firearms of the Spanish army were dominant, but their firearms did not have weapons for hand-to-hand combat, and as long as the enemy attacked in close quarters, then they were equivalent to lambs to the slaughter.

Although Tiqueras discovered this huge weakness when he was fighting with the American Dispatch of the Chinese Empire before, he also made considerable adjustments and achieved good results, but it was only in a head-to-head confrontation. Now that it was suddenly attacked, this huge weakness was suddenly exposed to the enemy.

The soldiers could not find the generals, the generals could not command the soldiers, and the entire Spanish army collapsed, mourning all over the field under the iron hooves of the heavy cavalry of the Chinese Empire. The 150,000 Spanish troops were killed by less than 20,000 jaguars and leopards, and they threw away their armor and fled in all directions.

The 20,000-man squad was invincible and wiped out hundreds of small Spanish resistance armies that were fighting separately, and the Spanish soldiers could no longer organize effective resistance, so after Ma Guangyuan and Shi Tingzhu met and discussed, the 200-man squad was immediately divided into 200 centurs and continued to expand the area of the charge.

More than ten miles of joint ventures were in a sea of fire, and the sound of killing shook the sky, like hell on earth.

The Spanish army, though outnumbered, was unable to organize a large-scale resistance by fighting in joint camps. Tents on fire, ammunition trucks ready to explode at any moment, and uncut weeds spreading on the ground in the camp and billowing smoke all hindered the Spanish army's ability to fight back, but on the contrary, it was more conducive to the Chinese Imperial Jaguar and Panther warriors.

There was a fire all around, and several Spanish soldiers in ragged clothes were holding muskets, carefully guarding the enemy.

Everywhere there were the sound of iron hooves stomping the ground, shouting of killing, and screaming, which all together stimulated the minds of the Spanish soldiers, making them suspicious, and seeing everything at the enemy, and even killing their own companions by mistake, and their nerves almost collapsed.

Suddenly, the horse neighed, and rode over the fire.

A Spanish soldier turned in an instant, and was slammed through his chest by the raised hooves of his horse.

The other two Spanish soldiers turned around in horror and were about to light the arquebus to shoot, when the sword flashed, and the man on the left was already in a different place.

The Spanish soldier on the right was terrified, and the arquebus in his hand trembled, and he could not light the arquebus on the musket.

By this time, the jaguar and leopard cavalry had already turned his head, and his sword was raised and slashed at him.

The Spanish soldiers did not light the muskets, and subconsciously raised the muskets to block.

With a click, the steel knife slammed into the musket, sending out a spark.

The tiger and leopard cavalry did not stop, and did not look back after a single slash to continue moving, because the cavalry could not lose speed.

The Spanish soldier looked in horror at the broken musket, a streak of blood oozing from his forehead.

Not dead

He was about to rejoice that he had escaped from the enemy's sword, when suddenly he felt a chill on his neck and the scene in front of him kept turning. It turned out that while he was in a daze, the jaguar and leopard cavalry who followed behind cut off his head with a knife.

No one survived the battle of the heavy cavalry of the Chinese Empire, which had killed countless lives since the day they landed in America. Each squad is very cooperative, and it is necessary to kill every enemy in front of them.

Tiqueiras tried to organize an army counterattack, but he found that the entire barracks was in chaos, and all the soldiers were thinking only of running for their lives. Finally organized a group of soldiers to resist, but was soon crushed and defeated by the heavy cavalry of the Chinese Empire.

The defeat was like a mountain, and he was already desperate.

Tiqueiras thought of committing suicide, but was soon stopped by the soldiers around him and fled with him.

I don't know how many Spanish soldiers were killed by the rolling Colorado River, but countless Spanish soldiers still jumped into it. Maybe that's their instinctive reaction, they should run away into the water when they encounter fire. Or maybe they don't care about anything at all, as long as they can avoid the pursuit of the heavy cavalry of the Chinese Empire, they don't care about anything.

The military camp burned until dawn, and the fire continued unabated, rapidly spreading to the surrounding woods and grasslands, making a sea of fire in the area within a radius of fifty or sixty miles.

The Chinese Imperial Jaguar and Leopard Cavalry had withdrawn from the battle, and five miles away from the enemy joint camp quietly watched the fire opposite, savoring their brilliant achievements.

Last night's battle was a great success, beyond what Ma Guangyuan and Shi Tingzhu had forethought. In fact, they overestimated the resistance of the Spaniards, and knew that this would be the case, and that the 3rd and 4th Infantry Divisions should have abandoned their artillery last night and plunged directly into battle, which would have annihilated the main Spanish forces.

However, even without the support of the 3rd and 4th Infantry Divisions, the Jaguar and Panther Cavalry achieved their stated objectives, destroying the Spanish army's joint camp and a qiē supply, and inflicting heavy damage on the Spanish army, with more than 70,000 Spanish soldiers killed in the attack last night. But half of the Spanish soldiers still fled and were scattered across the Colorado wilderness.

After last night's battle, the jaguar and leopard cavalry suffered very few casualties, except for 31 knights who were killed by the Spanish arquebus at close range, and the rest were less than 300 wounded, which is a great victory.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, the 3rd and 4th Infantry Divisions arrived.

It was expected to arrive at about five o'clock in the morning, but when it was about thirty miles close to the Spanish military camp, it was met by Spanish soldiers fleeing in all directions.

He Zhi and Li Kaitong Guò Air Force hot air balloon instructions already knew that the jaguar and leopard cavalry in front of them had succeeded in sneak attack, so they launched an infantry formation to capture the fleeing Spanish soldiers.

Since both the 3rd and 4th Infantry Divisions used war horses for transportation, nearly 12,000 officers and men of the combat units were involved in the capture of the Spanish soldiers after the orders were issued to the companies.

The two-legged Spanish soldiers could not escape the four-legged horses, and a large number of the Spanish soldiers who were on the run were captured, but more than a third of the deserters were still killed.

The capture lasted only three or four hours, because according to the speed of the Spanish soldiers' escape, after four hours of pursuit by the cavalry of the Chinese Empire, there was no need to pursue them further if they could not be caught.

After several hours of arrest, the Chinese Empire America sent troops to capture more than 21,000 Spanish soldiers and killed nearly 10,000, but more than 30,000 or 40,000 were still missing.

The dispatch believed that the Spanish soldiers might have escaped from the Colorado River last night, and that some would have drowned in the river, while others would have fled across the river into the depths of the wasteland.

However, what the sending forces received from the Indians was that the wasteland on the other side of the river was full of ferocious beasts, and it was difficult for the Spanish soldiers who were not armed and supplied to get out of there alive.

At the same time, the Indian allies of the Chinese Empire would treat the Spaniards who were left alone, and the fate that awaited them was even worse than staying in the prisoner of war camps of the Chinese Empire.

Walking on the edge of the battlefield on horseback, He Zhi, Ma Guangyuan and others looked at the results of the battle while discussing the next combat action.

Several people unanimously decided to take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Spanish city of Huaruiz, at this time the city of Huaruiz was empty, the main force of the entire central region of Mexico had been completely annihilated, and the Spanish would not be able to prevent the iron hooves of the Chinese Empire from stepping into the territory of Central Mexico in a short time.

After research, several people decided to advance to the city of Huaruiz in three days, and take the city in one day, open the gateway to the central region of Mexico, and then invade Texas, Delesias and California, and prepare for the next step of capturing Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, and the Mexican colony of the Spaniards is about to enter the countdown stage.

After finishing the topic, He Zhi talked about other things.

"Just got the message"

He Zhi reined in his war horse and said, "The request of the American Dispatch Force Command to transfer a group army from China to support the North American battlefield has been approved. The Imperial General Staff will draw an elite army group from the second army group that has just been formed in China, with a total strength of about 100,000 people to reinforce the Americas to fight, and they have arrived in Hawaii State, and will soon come over to make peace with us"

Ma Guangyuan asked: "I don't know which group army from the Second Army Group came over?"

Li Kai replied to him: "It is the 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th armies of the Sixth Army of the Second Army Group, and it is said that the grassroots commanders of the Sixth Army are all composed of outstanding graduates of the Eighth and Ninth Classes of the Imperial Military Academy, well-equipped, and powerful, known as the strongest in the battle sequence of the Royal Army, surpassing our First Army."

Ma Guangyuan said in astonishment: "How dare you call a call with our First Army?" I really don't know how thick the sky is."

All along, the First Army Group of the Royal Army has been the elite of the Chinese Empire, selected and eliminated from the battle sequence of the 300,000 Liaodong Army, the Million Mongol Army, and the 1.8 million Ming Army in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the First Army has always been the ace unit of the Royal Chinese Army, the elite of the elite. This is the first time that the first army dared to call the first group army, not to mention that it was the challenge issued by the newly formed second army group, and it really responded to the sentence: The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but the future is terrifying

Shi Tingzhu snorted coldly and said: "Just listen to them blow a group of officers and non-commissioned officers who have just graduated, I don't know how thick the sky is, I think that studying well means fighting well, and when I see them touching a gray nose, I know how embarrassed it is."

Ma Guangyuan asked: "I don't know who the commander of the Sixth Army is?" ”

Li Kai said: "We don't know at the moment, but a friend from the Dispatch Army Command said that it seems that he is a graduate of the third phase of the Royal Army Military Academy, and he is our next apprentice."

"Isn't it?"

Ma Guangyuan said with a vinegar taste: "Our juniors have all climbed on our heads and become the commander of the group army, so at least they have to be a general or general."

Li Kai nodded and said: "The group army should be the rank of general, I think the graduates of the third phase are not strong enough qualifications, looking at the imperial army, there are only a handful of generals, which one must not follow the old qualifications of today's starter?" ”

Ma Guangyuan said: "Maybe there is someone in the court."

Li Kai shook his head and said: "It should be a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the appointment of officers above the group army level must be approved by the emperor before he can officially take charge of the army.

"This is also the case" Shi Tingzhu nodded, and said: "Even I, a halfway general, can be a major general and division commander, I think it is impossible for the top of the empire to let a stinky student master the group army, at least it should have its merits."

He Zhi nodded and said: "We can't underestimate others, but we can't underestimate our own strength, the emperor attaches great importance to our First Army, so we can neither lose to the other side in military technology, nor inferior in temperament, junior now, our top priority is to fight a beautiful battle before the arrival of the Sixth Army, let them see"

"I agree"

Li Kai said: "Right now, we have just defeated the 150,000 Spanish troops, captured the city of Huaruiz, and opened the passage of Mexico City.

Ma Guangyuan said: "I heard that Senior Zhan Zengyong has completed the battle mission of conquering the Mughal Empire, plundering Delhi and the surrounding rich towns, and has seized a huge wealth of nearly 800 million silver dollars for the empire. I received a Shenwu Medal rewarded by the emperor, and I think this Shenwu Medal should be a general who conquers the enemy's capital to be eligible."

He Zhi smiled: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and take Mexico City, let's each have a Shenwu Medal"

Everyone was immediately happy when they heard this, and their previous unhappiness was swept away, and they all turned their minds to the next step.

Three days later, the Chinese Imperial Jaguar and Leopard Cavalry and the 3rd and 4th Infantry Divisions arrived outside the city and soon surrounded the entire city.

When I visited Huaruizi City again, the soldiers of the Chinese Empire were exceptionally cheerful and their morale was high. On the other hand, the city of Huaruiz was in a dead state, the artillery containment positions outside the city were gone, and the Spanish defenders at the head of the city immediately opened fire as soon as they saw the troops of the Chinese Empire. This not only did not frighten the soldiers of the Chinese Empire, but revealed even more the fear in their hearts at the moment.

The city of Huaruiz had been informed of the situation on the front two days before, and after learning that the 150,000 Spanish troops led by Tiqueiras had been defeated, the Spaniards in Huaruiz City were immediately terrified.

On the same day, the city's wealthy merchants, ranchers, miners, and some foreign merchants began to transfer their wealth on a large scale, and continued to make their way to Mexico City. The exodus of the wealthy caused the Spanish immigrants in the city to evacuate as well, and many Spaniards who had fled from northern Mexico fled with their families again and continued to migrate south.

Huaruiz City, which was originally very prosperous, was empty in just two days. The bleak spring breeze blows the garbage on the streets and alleys, and the revival scene of spring suddenly turns into a lifeless ghost place.

Only the staunch Catholics remained in the city, commanding the Spanish army to hold the city in an attempt to fight a battle of the mantis.

In the afternoon, the weather was a bit overcast and it seemed like it was going to rain.

This weather did not bode well for the firearms forces of the Chinese Empire. Once it rains, not only is the combat effectiveness greatly reduced, but it is also very dangerous.

However, He Zhi was still ready to teach the Spaniards in the city of Huaruiz a lesson, telling them that the Chinese Imperial Army had fought back.

Two artillery battalions of the 3rd Division were transferred to the outside of the North City, and artillery positions were arranged on a small hill about 700 meters from Huaruiz City.

In order to cope with the positions of these two artillery battalions, Ma Guangyuan sent a cavalry regiment to cruise nearby.

… Left and right, artillery positions were erected, and the weather did not improve, but it did not deteriorate either.

Fifteen minutes later, the two artillery battalion positions began to shell the northern city of Huaruiz, in order to increase the deterrence, considering that the other side no longer has troops stationed outside the city, so it is safe to boldly use the artillery shells to strike.

At this time, the flowering shell technology of the artillery equipment of the Chinese Imperial Artillery has been greatly improved compared with before, the accuracy of the time and distance of the shell explosion control has been improved, and the production cost has also decreased, so that the number of flowering shells equipped by the artillery unit has increased from half of the previous base to one percent.

"Open the gun"

The order flag fell, and the two artillery battalions were positioned, and forty Shenwu infantry guns opened fire in turn.

The cannon roared, and one shell after another shot into the air, drawing a parabola and shooting at the head of Huaruiz City.

At the top of the city, cannonballs whizzed. The Spanish defenders moved left and right as they had done before, avoiding solid shells.

However, experience has saved them many times, but it has also cost them their lives.

The moment the shell hit the ground, it exploded with a bang. The violent shock wave instantly lifted the nearby Spanish soldiers into the air, doing all sorts of free-fall movements. Waves of air flew in all directions with fragmented shrapnel, causing a large number of casualties.

Clusters of flames rose into the air, turning into mushroom clouds and soaring into the sky.

The city was full of sand and rocks, dust, and smoke, and a large number of Spanish soldiers were blown up with flesh and blood, and stumps and broken arms were everywhere, which was extremely tragic.

The large number of casualties caused the nearby Spanish soldiers to be terrified, and they all hugged their heads and ran around, wailing all over the field for a while, and cautious people's hearts.

The shelling lasted only seven minutes, until the two artillery battalions of the 3rd Division had exhausted all the shells, but for the surviving Spanish soldiers in the city, it was undoubtedly equivalent to living for years.

Ten minutes later, a white flag was raised on the head of Hua Ruizi City, and He Zhi, who was preparing to rest and attack the city tomorrow, immediately smiled bitterly when he saw it.

"Into the City"

Half an hour later, the advance cavalry of the Chinese Empire America sent troops into Huaruiz City and took over the defense of Huaruiz City.

An hour later, the jaguar and leopard rode over the city and raised the dragon flag over the Huaruiz City Government Building.

The six-month Battle of Wallaz ended with the final victory of the Chinese Empire, and the gateway to the central part of the Spanish and Mexican colonies opened up, and Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, faced a direct threat from the iron hooves and artillery of the Chinese Empire. V
