Chapter 218: Killed 20,000 people in one day! Also caught a president and an emperor?
"What?!"
In the castle of Querétaro's city hall, Li Mengyang, the emperor, couldn't help but roar.
"Your Majesty ......" The people who came to report the news were all frightened by this voice, don't want it.
"Didn't they lie about the military?!" Li Mengyang simply grabbed the herald's collar.
"Your Majesty, it's really not ......," the voice trembled.
"WHAT......" Li Mengyang let go of the herald, and he was about to say a dirty word, but then he thought about it, this is not good, he is the emperor, he can't be so unruly, this will set a bad example for others......
What's wrong with this?
No, in today's battle, the special division of the empire annihilated the main force of the French army in the north and south of Querétaro respectively!
More than 20,000 people in total!
This is a huge result! That's great! And it's so unexpected!
Li Mengyang can swear to God, he definitely didn't expect such a big victory, he is confident in his victory, he has absolute confidence, but now.
One day, 20,000 people!
This is unimaginable, to borrow a sentence from Chu Yunfei, even if it is 50,000 pigs, the communist army has to catch them......
It's a bit insulting, but that's the case, although Li Mengyang has led many battles before, and he can be regarded as having seen the world, but such a huge victory annihilated more than 20,000 main forces of the French army in one day, although this is annihilation, that is to say. Not all killed, but this victory is also too big.
Li Mengyang really couldn't believe it, but now the facts are in front of him. He couldn't help but believe it!
If you want to say that 20,000 people were annihilated, it's nothing, but it's like this for a day, which is really a bit ...... What's the details?
Li Mengyang is sitting in the center of Querétaro, he did not go to the battlefield in the north and south, it should be said that he did not have the opportunity to go, so fast. The battle of Querétaro was over, and there was no need for anyone else to say anything about these 20,000 men. Li Mengyang himself can estimate that this is all the main force of the French army in Mexico.
Maybe there are remnants elsewhere, but that's definitely not enough to see, so. on the details. This must be asked, why did you take down the French army so quickly?
"Your Majesty, the battle in the north is like this......"
"Your Majesty, the battle in the south is like this......"
The herald was not bad, he was quite competent in his job, at least he had a quick tongue, and he quickly told a detailed account of the battle on both sides of Querétaro's side, as if telling a story.
"......" Li Mengyang was fascinated when he heard it. But though, this story. Really, the more I listen, the more I feel ......
Are all those French generals stupid?!
Or is it a joke?
Forget it, Li Mengyang is too lazy to bother to find words, how can those French people do this? As soon as it came up, it was studed, all pressed on, and then all came up in line.
Li Mengyang understands this queue very well, because the current battle is like this, or the main line of guns, he has also seen it when he was in the west and New York, but the most incomprehensible thing is, why is it so desperate?
Of course, there are some things that the empire does not know, such as the various contradictions within the French army, which are common to the French armies in the north and south, and the struggle for power between Frei and Bazin, as well as the three supreme rulers of Mexico. But even so, it would be too risky to press all the troops on it at once.
Li Mengyang can come out more or less, I am afraid that there will be dirt within the French army, but this should not be the main problem, the most critical, I am afraid that this is ......
In this day and age, I'm afraid that's how wars are fought!
This cognition was actually already in Li Mengyang's heart, but he never thought that the French army would play like this, and it would be a charge of tens of thousands of people.
You know, such a charge as Pickett's, which is also rare, but not nothing, then it seems that we can draw a conclusion, that is, the current generals, they fight like this, they play like this, and they will have a stud with you and a big group charge with you!
Li Mengyang personally experienced the battle of Newark, he faced Alfred at that time, and the U.S. military also played like this, and now it seems that the French army and the U.S. army are definitely handed over by a master, and now, it seems that the armies of Europe and the United States are still based on the tactics of shooting each other face to face.
Of course, Li Mengyang also got some information about the American Civil War, and he knew that the Americans were not completely stupid, and they would also learn war in the war.
Just like the First World War, the current United States has taken the lead in playing trenches, but however, their trenches are different from the Empire's, they are the style of the First World War, using wooden planks to build the trenches flat and neat, unlike the current trenches of the Empire, which are made of mud.
So what does this qiē mean?
Why does Li Mengyang think so much?
First of all, this shows that the generals of France are not stupid!
Yes, this is very important, which makes Li Mengyang not have the heart of a rival. The reason why the French generals are so behaving is actually because their combat awareness has not been able to keep up with the current development of weapons and tactics.
For example, the French may have heard of trenches, but they must not have encountered them, and there are many new things on the Empire's side, such as mortars, grenades, and protective uniforms.
Don't talk about the French, it seems that the world doesn't see much now, and I still have to thank the United States for this, because the United States is now engaged in blockade, and the movements on this side of the empire, they can be sealed, of course, maybe these military things, they are spying, but the empire is developing too fast now, and American spies, just the current communication conditions. It's hard for them to deliver the message.
In this way, the French against the American Empire would be absolutely blind. They don't know anything!
So that is, the generals are not idiots, it's just that they haven't kept up, but combined with the situation of the American Civil War, that is, these whites are not pure fools either, they will also learn.
Li Mengyang: This can be concluded. Now is perhaps the best time to take over all of Mexico!
Don't look at the current Imperial Army, just a division, or a temporary patchwork, but the combat effectiveness of this one division. That was absolutely unimaginable to the French army, and they had never seen the tactical tactics of the special division.
But though, if it's been a long time. Everyone has been in contact for a long time. Slowly, maybe these French people will learn how to deal with us!
Like the trenches......
So, the opportunity is right in front of you, maybe fleeting!
But, here's the problem!
This is Mexico, the Mexico of millions of people, itself now has a division, 3000 people. Even though there were not many casualties in the previous battles.
As far as the number of Jù that Li Mengyang got now, the battlefield casualties did not exceed 200. And more of it is non-war attrition, it is the soldiers who are not accustomed to the soil and water after coming to Mexico, and they have diarrhea or something, which is more than 300.
In other words, isn't it too nonsense to use more than 2,500 people to conquer such a huge territory in Mexico now?
And this doesn't take into account any logistical problems, huh~
With a sigh, Li Mengyang now has absolute confidence, he is confident that he can lead these more than 2,500 people to defeat any army on the continent of Mexico, whoever comes, I will kill one!
However, how can such a small number of people control such a huge territory?
Li Mengyang is not crazy yet!
Now, the opportunity is in front of him, but there is no way to grasp it, how can Li Mengyang not sigh?
"Pass my orders."
“YES-YOU-MAJESTY!”
Could Li Mengyang ......
"The whole army has made great contributions, and as the emperor of the New Tang Empire in the United States, I thank you all! The whole army recorded a collective first-class merit, and the martyrs received special merits! Rewards, bereavements, will all be in the back ......"
Li Mengyang is arranging post-war matters, simply put, it is about rewarding meritorious deeds, and the most important thing is that he is ready to let the team rest for a while......
But though, right now.
"Report!"
Another military report is coming?
"Please!"
"陛xià! General Dupont's fleet has sent a large number of reinforcements! ”
"Huh?! …… It's simply amazing! ”
As soon as Li Mengyang heard the news, the whole person was shocked, because this matter was simply too timely, and he was worried that there was no one to use just now, and now, this Samuel. DuPont solves this problem, which ...... It seems that people are also at the level of the national ruler, right?
How can this be rewarded?
However, the later herald had nothing to say.
"陛xià! General Dupont's fleet was not all troop carriers, but a few, and they found some French warships in the upper reaches of the Lerma River, so they went up to meet them, and as a result, they sank their opponents, captured the Mexican Emperor Maximiliano I, and the provisional president of Mexico, Almonte! ”
"......" As soon as Li Mengyang heard this, his whole body froze!
Actually, at this time, I should have a sentence, I have a big groove, which is enjoyable, but as an emperor, you must pay attention to your words and deeds.
What a surprise, what a surprise!
I didn't expect that Mexico, a country with such a vast territory and such a strong French army, was so ......
We'll have it all sorted out in one day!
What makes sense of this? What else do you need a bike?!
Of course, Li Mengyang will not be naïve to think that he has now taken care of Mexico, even if it is the French army, it will definitely not be so easy to clean it up, and there is also Juarez, the former president of Mexico, and the power of the United States, but now, it is too much, right?
Did you fight like that?
This plot is a little too fast, right?
Li Mengyang really wanted to complain, however, he wanted to maintain the majesty of an emperor, well, that's it......
So, what's really going on? (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you all for your support! Thanks! What, the weather has been too hot lately, and the black car really doesn't move, and it's been over this time, sincerely.
