In November 1864, it was already winter in the northern hemisphere. However, in Mexico, it is winter, but winter here is like spring.

There's no way, this place is full of mountains, and most of the places where people can live are basins, and the cold air can't rush in at all, it's just a holy place for cats in winter.

"How far are we from El Paso?" Yang Willy sat on the horse, to be honest, although the weather was very good, but this way, it was really terrible.

"It shouldn't be far away, that Geronimo said, turn this hill, and the northeast direction is El Paso!" Song Yulong, as the supreme commander of the northern group of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, in fact, he is only a regiment commander, with 1,000 people under his command, but however, this is not bad, and he is about to reach his destination.

"Oops! We're getting there, it's been a long time! Gao Zhenyu, as the No. 2 person, should not have complained, but he really didn't complain, he was so sorry for himself.

It is indeed enough to say that the Imperial Army and the Indians have been walking for more than two months and almost three months after landing, and they have only arrived at the destination of their trip.

But in fact, Jerónimo said that it was quite fast.

"Gentlemen! Without the help of our Indians, you would not have been here so quickly. ”

I have to say that what Geronimo said was right, the road was full of mountains, and the northern group of the empire really suffered enough, so they followed the Indians. Circling around these mountains. Sometimes to the north. Sometimes to the south, really, if it weren't for the Indians, the others would have been lost!

However, what Yang Willy is thinking now is, maybe that's why, Americans don't want this place, the road is too difficult to walk. And there doesn't seem to be anything too valuable in the country except silver.

However, the strategic arrangement of His Majesty the Emperor, that is, to take the Northern Group, although it is only a regiment, but they will cooperate with the Indians and finally take El Paso, that is, to kill the Juarez regime!

Along the way, the Indians can be said to have enjoyed it, they really burned, killed and looted. Anyway, this is their place, those Mexican descendants. And all kinds of half-breeds, all enemies, all invaders, and they did not harm the Indians in the first place, which is ...... Isn't it equivalent to Hu Hansan coming back?

Of course, Yang Weili didn't know who Hu Hansan was, and what he was even more emotional about now was the wisdom of the emperor.

These Indians, not just as simple as guides, also helped the Imperial soldiers to clear a number of factors that might threaten the military activity, and those Mexican natives, they were likely to report the news.

And if the imperial soldiers are allowed to kill those individuals, many of us in the Third Army are originally oppressed, and we really can't do this, maybe we Chinese also look down on those mixed-race guys, but if you want to kill them, the Chinese and the blacks, I'm afraid they can't do it, or they can't be as ruthless as the Indians!

Now, a qiē has been solved, maybe the process is more cruel, but in military terms, it has indeed achieved a good effect, and it can only be said that the emperor has been far-sighted. Of course, the emperor didn't say that, let the Indians burn and loot, but Yang Weili felt that maybe this was the emperor's ......

"General." That Geronimo called Yang Willy, he was also a clear-eyed person, and he could see that among these subordinates of the Children of God, this Yang Willy was the most thoughtful, and the others also looked up to this person, "What should we do next?" ”

"That El Paso del Note where Juarez is located, what is the terrain?" Yang Willy also heard it, but at such a time, he couldn't explain it, and it was useless to explain, and he wanted to cover it up.

"It's flat, it's a plain!" Jerónimo is very familiar.

"Then, naturally, attack directly!" Willy Yang's answer was very simple.

"......" Song Yulong and Gao Zhenyu glanced at each other, and they both felt ...... That's too simple and crude, right?

"Good!" However, Jerónimo didn't think there was anything about it, and it was better to attack directly......

Approaching El Paso, it was said before that there was a hill to bypass, and then there was a plain, so in general, this 'hill' would have been defended, and the Juárez regime would have placed defenders here, but when the northern group came here, they were surprised to find out.

Nothing!

"God bless Your Majesty!" Song Yulong sighed directly, it was too smooth!

"Long live Your Majesty!" Gao Zhenyu couldn't help it.

Successfully bypassing this mountain, then there is El Paso del Note in front of it, what else is it all about?

Woo la la! Woo la la!

Well, if it is arranged, it will attack directly, and the Indians will ride their horses, and of course they will take the lead. Besides, that del note, a very small town, was a village before Juarez came, and now it is only a little bigger, but of course there are no walls, and when will the cavalry not rush?

"Comrades! Advance! ”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

The more than 1,000 people of the northern group of the empire also took neat steps and began to move forward, it's okay, in fact, this is to realistically look at military appearance and military discipline, and it is for the Indians to see.

However, less than a kilometer from Del Note, the Northern Group discovered something.

"Look! What is that? ”

"This, this ......"

In the telescope, a flag appeared in the center of Del Notte, with many white stars and red and blue stripes, which was the flag of the United States of America!

Obviously, the power of the United States has reached into Mexico, and it is clear that Juarez is likely to be under the protection of the power of the United States, it should be said that these things have been known for a long time, but now the United States is doing too blatantly!

So, to fight or not to fight?

This thought was only on Yang Willy. Song Yulong. Gao Zhenyu's minds stopped for less than a second. Because they immediately realized that now their teammates were Indians!

Woo la la! Woo la la!

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

The Indians don't care about anything, what a flag,! Just do it!

"Let's fight!"

I can't do it if I don't fight.

"Comrades! Advance! ”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

The iron hooves of the American Empire stepped into Del Noth, and at the same time trampled the Star-Spangled Banner under its feet......

At the same time, in central Mexico, Querétaro was the epicenter of a typhoon. Multiple forces are mixed up here.

"Your Majesty, our army has arrived outside the city of Querétaro!"

"Good!"

"Your Majesty, our army has launched an attack!"

"Good!"

"陛xià! The offensive of our troops was thwarted. ”

"Very ......"

Maximiliano almost said a good one, but it can't be said to be bad, because that means not good, it will demoralize others.

To be honest, Maximiliano is not a mediocre person, but in Mexico he is really ambitious, he is not a complete commander of the bare pole, and there are really some Mexicans who support him. The Imperial Mexican Army was formed, but compared to the strength of the French. It's so much worse.

Therefore, in this campaign against Querétaro, he must come, but it is not good to interfere too much, so simply, you will let me, the emperor, know what happened, and that will be about the same.

It should be said that Maximiliano, the emperor, still has a certain level, and he also knows that this war cannot be ordered out of many ways, but our emperor His Majesty has a good consciousness, but it does not mean that other people also have such an awareness!

"Almont! What's your offensive formation? Is that pig? You've made at least three mistakes in the command you just made! ”

"Your Excellency Magnan! If there is anything wrong with my command, you can accuse me after the end of this campaign, and of course, I will also reserve the right to record the details of this battle and present it to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

In the big tent of the French army, Marshal Magnan and President Almonte, these two guys are very happy.

The reason is very simple, in a tentative attack just now, 500 people went up, and less than 100 came back!

This casualty ratio is simply terrifying, and the French army has never fought so badly in Mexico. And before, the French army had carried out artillery bombardment for at least 1 hour, but the result was still so bad.

It should be said that the current artillery has little effect on Li Mengyang's trench defense line at all, and the artillery at this time is still playing round balls, and there is almost no possibility that it can enter the trenches. Of course, if it is a rock, it is different, the stone is broken by a cannonball, and the damage is doubled.

But coincidentally, Querétaro is a basin here, plains, and there are relatively few stones, so this artillery fire is basically useless.

After an hour of artillery fighting, the other side did not have many casualties at all, and then 500 people went up, all of which were filled in the pits, making people's guns platoon and putting them in a large area.

Originally, Magnan was competing with Almont for the command of the French army, how could the old marshal seize this opportunity?

"Ahem, ahem......" The old marshal is coughing, and his illness is not yet cured, "Now I order you as the marshal of the empire!" I'll command the rest of the battle! ”

Manignan was almost at full firepower, and for the sake of command, he really gave it up.

"Good." Almont didn't argue, in fact, he completely understood Magnan's idea, but but, hehe, this old man is going to try it now, then you can try.

In fact, the reason why 500 people were sent before, you must know that there are 15,000 troops on the French side, which is the strongest force in Mexico, but it still uses so few people, it is because Almonte knows that the army of the American Empire, they have weirdness!

When they attacked Yuma Town before, it wasn't that someone fled back, and the one thing they came back was to cry, cry about what happened to them in Yuma Town, it was simply terrifying, an extremely terrifying weapon.

And now, Almonte can see very clearly that those bastards in the American Empire don't use any special weapons at all, so ......

Hey, old man, you wait to suffer! (To be continued......)
