"Your Majesty, just about this tube cannon, I have a building, isn't everyone a little worried now, it's actually very simple, we just need to add a few hoops to this cannon barrel, it's like repairing a wooden barrel, you know? Add a few hoops, huh, and that's it! ”

At this time, in the emperor's tent, Wufeng Lao Dao held a cannon barrel and said to Li Mengyang there.

Because what, it's very simple, that is, the current sergeants of the empire think that this tube cannon, that is, the mortar is not safe enough, and they are afraid of exploding. So, the old man of the fog wind came up with such a trick and hit the iron hoop on it.

To be honest, the old man himself doesn't know if it's useful or not, but if you think about it, it's somewhat useful, right?

Li Mengyang wanted to laugh when he heard it, because you still hit the iron hoop on this mortar? Also, this iron hoop, it seems that no conscience cannon has been used, this ......

However, Li Mengyang was curious about one thing, "I said the old way, how do you still know about this iron hoop?" ”

In the face of the emperor's question, the old man did not dare to slack off, saluted at the moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, Weichen also worked as a craftsman back then, especially when the incense in the temple was not prosperous......"

It turns out that the roots are here, hey~

Li Mengyang felt funny, but he didn't laugh at it, this old way is really good, he has done everything, he is versatile.

"Report!"

Just then, a herald came in.

"Please." It's obviously military.

"Your Majesty, the new artillery regiment of our Imperial Army has captured Molina Castle just now!"

"Huh?"

The news was simply too sudden. No one thought of it. Besides. Before that, Emperor Xi à did not mean ......

"Who let them fight down? Didn't you say that you should just ask them to deter you? Li Mengyang hadn't said anything yet, and the old man of the fog wind blew up first.

This is also true, Wufeng is in charge of military affairs, besides, most of the artillery regiments are his subordinates, and the commanders are all Chinese, which does not mean to understand the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor. How embarrassing is that?

But the herald's face was a little twisted, and it seemed that something was difficult to say.

"You say! I'm going to clean up those bastards! "The aura of the military leader of the fog wind is very strong.

"General, it's actually the French who surrendered." That's when the herald spoke.

"Surrender?" Wufeng was stunned, and Li Mengyang also felt that this thing was too strange.

However, the fog wind is still fast-talking, "How do you cast it?" Those boys are eager to make contributions and fight hard? ”

"It's not." The herald shook his head, "It's what was planned, a round of shelling." But as a result, the French surrendered. And they are still begging us, if we have to surrender, we can't stop them if they want to. ”

"......" Li Mengyang and Wufeng were speechless, what the hell is going on with this Frenchman?

Is it so hard to fight?

However, when Li Mengyang arrived at Molina Castle, the sight he saw was illustrative.

It's miserable!

Molina Castle is a boxy castle, except for the two tall towers on the front, the others are walled, and in the middle is a flat playground, which is the style of the castle in the past, but now, the flat ground in the middle is already potholes, and near the tall buildings, there are dead bodies everywhere!

Just imagine, the castle itself is not big, and then the castle has no cover on it, and the mortar shells fly in a hanging way, which is a parabola, directly around the city walls.

Therefore, this is equivalent to the internal injury in a martial arts novel, you can't see anything on the surface, but the inside has been completely blown up!

In addition, the shape of the mortar determines that it is completely different from the current shell in terms of the power of fragments, even if the current level of craftsmanship in the empire is still very low, but the mortar is easier to break, the farther it shoots, and the more ruthless.

The French had never seen anything like it, so it was really a pile of deaths.

The French army could not bear such casualties, it should be said that the European and American armies of this era could not bear such casualties, there were 300 people in the castle of Molina, but now there are less than 100 people who can stand, and this still includes the people in the tower, can they not surrender?

The rest of the French army, really begging to surrender, is now waiting there in horror for integration.

Li Mengyang looked at this, and he suddenly remembered that the great mentor had said that muskets and cannons shattered the armor and castles of knights, which led to the collapse of the feudal system in Europe.

And now, with this new weapon, he has also hit the Western powers very well, is this a certainty in the dark?!

Suddenly, Li Mengyang felt that he was a little careful, the strength in his hands now may already be very powerful, and the powerful powers that are now may not be able to deal with it!

Of course, it's just maybe, maybe......

"Oh, it's Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is here! Salute! ”

The soldiers of the empire were busy, and when they found out that the person who came turned out to be His Majesty the Emperor, it was already a little late, but it didn't matter, Li Mengyang smiled and waved his hand, he didn't blame anyone.

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

Whether it was a Chinese soldier, a white soldier, or even a black soldier, they were all cheering, because they knew that His Majesty the Emperor would bring victory after victory!

"Comrades!" Li Mengyang was about to speak again, but this time he spoke very briefly, "I order now!" Except for the captured soldiers, the others, go on the offensive! Target, Guadalajara! ”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

Don't do the encirclement point reinforcements?

Li Mengyang said, don't do it, the current situation is that Lao Tzu is stronger, so what kind of skills are you playing, just play power, and use the purest power to crush the enemy!

Soon, the Imperial Special Division was immediately in action, and the artillery regiments were dispersed to various battalions. Each battalion was assigned almost three mortars. Then attack from all sides!

Then. The entire castle near Guadalajara roared......

Castle Zolita, surrendered after two rounds of shelling!

The monks in the church of Siguenza ran straight away!

So-and-so castle lasted 10 minutes!

The white flag was raised before the Imperial Army opened fire......

The supreme commander of the French army in Guadalajara was General Bazin, who did not come up by nepotism, but fought one battle after another.

When he captured Guadalajara, General Bazin was also very effective in command and fought very bravely, but now, he is timid!

I don't know how. The American New Tang Empire seemed to use magic, one castle after another, and the French troops inside surrendered one by one, seeing that Guadalajara was an isolated city.

What can I do?

Tactically, General Bazin did not see any mistake on his part, and the arrival of enemy warships and the French retreat from their defenses may seem a bit unheroic, but it is the best choice given the current situation in Guadalajara.

He didn't have any powerful warships in his hands, and the artillery wasn't strong enough. When Bazin was taking the city before, Guadalajara's city defenses had been destroyed. Besides, even if there is a city defense, those artillery fires can't reach people.

Combined with the local situation, the castle has sporadic branches, so that everyone enters the castle for defense, this is the best means to delay the enemy army, and then wait for reinforcements, which is completely right!

However, it is unbelievable to see the white flag being raised from castle to castle at an unprecedented speed!

Mexico is mountainous, so Bazán, who is in Guadalajara, really saw the white flag raised with his own eyes and lowered his binoculars.

"......" Bazin hesitated for a long time.

"General, what shall we do?" Not only did he see it alone, but the people below were also panicking now.

"Retreat!" Bazin finally made a very wise decision!

"Yes! Excellency! ”

The defenders of Guadalajara, fleeing in a hurry before the Imperial army could enter!

When the Emperor of the Empire won a succession, the offensive from the north began......

"Forward!" Song Yulong brandished his command knife, and the soldiers of the Third Army behind him began to march with neat steps, but it was not ......

Woo la la! Woo la la!

The Indians didn't care about this, they rode their horses and rushed forward merrily, bringing up puffs of smoke and dust.

"Mr. Jeronimo, I suggest that you restrain your own troops." Song Yulong is now regarded as the supreme commander of the military operation in the northern part of the empire, of course, he himself knows that he must listen to Yang Weili's construction more, after all, the emperor of the empire values that guy very much.

However, such a matter of dealing with the Indians still had to be done by the Supreme Commander, and Geronimo was now the leader of the Indians.

"Mr. Song, I think it's good now, we Indians have our way. Besides, isn't the situation much stronger than previously expected? ”

Song Yulong was a little depressed, this Geronimo in front of him was simply a stinky stone, so he recognized his thoughts.

But though, the guy said it was stronger than expected, mainly because the situation at sea had changed.

Before, it wasn't because there were fewer ships, so it took more time to transport troops. But in fact, the date that Yang Willy got was a week, which was very unreliable, and according to the original capacity, it was completely unattainable.

No way, not only the 30,000 Indians, but also the horses!

So, the reality should be at least two weeks, but then, though, Admiral Dupont's navy came!

Yes, this means that there are many more ships, so the time for transporting troops and horses is greatly shortened.

So how did Dupont come to the north?

Quite simply, when DuPont went to shell Acapulco as originally planned. De Juarez, he found that it didn't work at all.

There was no resistance, and there was no look at the French.

To be honest, Li Mengyang, the strategic arrangement of His Majesty the Emperor, is not wrong in itself, but his opponent is too strange, or rather, he does not recognize the strangeness of his opponent.

Then since it doesn't have any effect, let's just go north to help transport troops, so that the offensive in the north can really be launched...... (To be continued......)
