"Your Excellency, General Héctor, I do not want to question your decision, but I just want to ask you to give me and my troops a chance to fight, there is nothing to fear from the Easterners, I will prove with facts that they can also be defeated, I am very confident in this."

It was Major General Gutiérrez who spoke, and he gave a military salute with a solemn look and looked at Admiral Héctor dos Santos with expectant eyes, hoping to get his permission.

Major General Gutiérrez is a formidable general, and his 5,500-strong army is one of the few elite soldiers in the hands of General Héctor dos Santos, many of whom have participated in bloody battles with American troops or returned after recovering from wounds.

This is a unit that has won the war against the United States, but it has more defeats and fewer victories, and it is an army with outstanding achievements during the period of President Santo Anna, and it has its own pride.

Admiral Héctor dos Santos glanced at Major General Gutierrez with a displeased expression, then his gaze swept over the faces of the senior generals, and he said in a deep voice; "Mr. Major General, my order is already clear, organize the defense on the spot, I don't want to repeat it for the second time."

"Your Excellency General, I would like to remind you that it is already the third day that the army of the Tang Kingdom has taken the initiative to make an appointment, and it is possible that they will not appear outside the valley again tomorrow, but will retreat for a long time to repair. At that point, we'll have to trek hundreds of kilometers to their predetermined battlefield, and the situation will be much worse. ”

"It's possible, but that's not something you should consider, Mr. Major General."

"Your Excellency General, these Orientals have invaded the vast territory of our seven northern states, and are building roads and railways with great fanfare, and more Orientals are coming, and they are planning to occupy them for a long time." Major General Gutiérrez's eyes flashed with anger, and he was not ready to give up, but to fight for it again with all his might;

"As you can see, from the stupid president to the top of the government, our nation and country are still vying for power in the face of the turmoil of the Mexican regime, the armies of the states are about to collapse at the touch of a button, they will have no desire to fight, and the people are fleeing in despair, and our nation and country have reached the most critical moment.

I know the strength of the Eastern cavalry, which is almost invincible in North America.

But I did not believe that their infantry could not be defeated, and relying on the defense of the valley, I was willing to lead my troops as the main force and fight a bloody battle with the enemy to restore the confidence of the Mexican army.

With the back of the valley defensive position and our army, even if it is not good, our officers and soldiers will be able to retreat calmly, so that the whole army will not be annihilated and the enemy will make dumplings.

This is the best opportunity to measure the strength of the eastern army, if we dare not fight, then in the wilderness, what chance does the Mexican army have to win? ”

Major General Gutiérrez's words aroused the hatred of all the senior generals present, and their blood was boiling at the moment, and they were willing to lead their troops to fight with General Gutierrez.

At this point in the war, the wolf ambitions of the Tang Kingdom have been exposed, and they are building roads and railways in seven northern states, and a large number of Chinese are pouring in, and they are taking over the cities of the former Mexicans.

Mexicans have endured many U.S. aggressions and are experienced in this area......

Well, that's a really heavy topic.

Speaking of which, for the sake of it

Admiral Héctor dos Santos, a soldier who had experienced the glory of Mexico's independence, had watched the once mighty Mexico fall apart and be almost completely devoured.

The pain in his heart is unforgettable.

In 1821, when the democratic revolution in Spain had no time to spare, the white natives of Mexico and the owners of large estates joined forces to promote Mexican independence.

At that time, the newly independent Mexico had a vast land area of 4.769 million square kilometers, making it the second largest country in the entire Americas after Brazil.

Arguably

Since the birth of Yin, Mexico has grabbed a hand of Wang Bang.

Unfortunately, since then, the Mexican elite and the owners of large estates have begun to compete for power and profit, and the extreme darkness and corruption of politics have led to the emergence of an emperor and dozens of presidents in the 29 years of Mexico's independent history.

In the past 10 years, an average of more than four months has been replaced by a president, and the shortest term of office has only been 13 days.

The endless political infighting has made the Mexican government unwilling to build and develop, and corrupt officials are rampant across the country, and the people are struggling to make a living

Seeing such chaos at the top of the Mexican government, Central America declared independence from Spanish colonial rule in 1821 and joined Mexico. In 1823, it broke away from Mexico and established the Federal Republic, the United Province of China and the United States;

In 1838, the United States divided into five countries: Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras and Costa Rica.

Seeing that the Mexican government was corrupt and incompetent, the two neighbors, the United States and the Tang Kingdom, took turns to rob and cut off large areas of territory again and again, until today......

The Tang Kingdom swallowed seven northern states in one go, which are the seven largest administrative divisions in Mexico, occupying almost 3/5 of the existing territory, with a total area of nearly one million square kilometers.

If this part of the territory were to be lost, Mexico would be reduced to a medium-sized country in the Americas with a land area of just over 700,000 square kilometers, facing the imminent danger of civil war.

This is the chaotic political situation that Admiral Icktor dos Santos has to face, the influential lords and magnates of Mexico City are still vying for power, and there are still some people in the top of the government who fantasize about peace talks, hoping to use Mexican territory to satisfy the greedy appetite of the Tang Kingdom.

Others fantasize about a decisive battle in the capital, and are drawing troops and supplies from various states to gather under Mexico City to prepare for the second battle of Mexico City.

President Santayo frequently met with envoys from various countries in Mexico, hoping that Britain would lead international mediation, and even organize multinational intervention forces to enter Mexico to curb the fierce invasion of the Tang Kingdom.

Nearly a month or more

President Santayo, who has been assassinated five times in a row, is now hiding in his family's estate outside Mexico City, afraid to enter the city for discussion.

So the current Mexican government is divided into two parts, one is the old government forces in the city, and the other is the manor forces outside the city, which makes the already chaotic Mexican political situation even more confusing.

All in all, how is Mexico City now more than a "mess"?

Admiral Héctor dos Santos looked at Major General Gutierrez with vicissitudes of life, and then glanced at the generals one by one, with a resolute look in his eyes, and ordered;

"I now order Major General Gutierrez to lead the army to attack, Decayo, Fernandez, and General Okong's headquarters to attack in concert and strike hard at the arrogance of the enemy army, may God bless you!"

"Yes, Your Excellency." The generals led by General Gutierrez saluted in unison, turned around and left with their swords in their hands.

The desolate and melodious horn sounded, and the Mexican army array in the valley moved, and groups of soldiers came out with guns under the orders of the officers and assembled in the direction of the valley mouth.

The Great War is coming, and it is about to break out.

The troops of the Tang Kingdom were arrayed outside the valley mouth, about 5 kilometers away, and when you looked through the telescope from the direction of the valley mouth, you could only see a battle line several kilometers long at the end of the sky.

The reason why it was so far away was to make enough space for the Mexican army that was willing to fight.

The two sides are fighting against soldiers, generals against generals, and they have a good fight.

From start to finish

The Tang Kingdom army did not prepare to attack Taniguchi, and if the Mexican army did not fight, it was convenient to retreat sometime in the afternoon and return to the field camp 23 kilometers away.

Anyway, the Tang Kingdom even has war horses for the infantry, so such a long distance is nothing, so you should ride out for a walk.

This distance was uncomfortable for the Mexican army, if you wanted to attack the enemy camp at night, once the army was sent out, it would not be able to retreat, the distance was too far.

It takes at least ten hours to go back and forth, and just running can exhaust people to death, let alone fight.

"I'm finally willing to move my nest, it's rare!" Richard sat on a tall white horse and commented disdainfully.

Colonel Tian Mantun, commander of the first cavalry division, Colonel Duan Debiao, commander of the fourth cavalry division, and Colonel Chen Chuan, commander of the cuirassier regiment of the royal guard, looked at each other in surprise on his majesty's side.

Say in your heart; Good guys, sure enough, the Mexican army was fished out.

Colonel Tian Mantun saluted with admiration and said; "Your Majesty, we can only admire."

"These Mexicans are all frightened birds now, and if you don't give them the slightest hope of victory, you must all be shrunken turtles." There was a hint of smugness in Richard's tone.

This time, Richard personally led the army south, and the whole army was more than 5,500 people in two cavalry divisions and one infantry division, totaling 14,600 people.

Say too much, say too little.

This gave the Mexican generals an illusion that they were fighting in the valley and seemed to be able to compete.

With the valley heavily defended by Mexico at its back, could it be that the Tang Kingdom could still wipe out all the Mexican troops that attacked?

I really can't beat it, just go back.

In the era of queuing up to be shot, there are always some brave and courageous Mexican generals who will jump out and face the famous soldiers of the Tang Kingdom, wanting to challenge it.

Richard was keen to grasp this desperate luck mentality in the Mexican army, and waited for the willing to take the bait, like a clever angler.

Looking at the Mexican army and cavalry queues that were pouring out of the valley, a bloodthirsty sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand and ordered;

"Playing music, the infantry corps is attacking."

The majestic military music sounded, and the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom, who were well-groomed, lined up in a neat "one" shape, marched neatly in the direction of the enemy army with drums on their feet.

The infantry of the Tang Kingdom was thin, only lined up in two horizontal rows of long snake formations, pressing towards the Mexican army, and the cavalry on both sides was slightly behind more than 100 meters, keeping the lineup intact.

On the other hand, on the side of the Mexican army, there were about 20,000 infantry and nearly 3,000 cavalry, and more than 30 artillery pieces were launched in front of the line, all of which were old-fashioned Spanish bronze artillery.

The Mexican army was lined up in five horizontal columns, which had the advantage of providing more intense and sustained gun fire, and the advantage of strength was obvious.
