Chapter 738 The overall situation of the Americas has been determined
"Supervisor, yesterday our army attacked the enemy's second line of defense with all its strength, and was met with a strong counterattack by the enemy. Preliminary statistics show that yesterday, our army's casualties exceeded 3,000, and nearly 10,000 were injured. The enemy's casualties were due to
This battle was a defeat for our army, so we don’t know for sure. But no matter how you estimate it, the enemy’s casualties are much smaller than ours.”
"Well, what are our main disadvantages?"
"Artillery, Superintendent. So far in the war, our 150 heavy artillery has been lost. But the enemy still has a large number of 150 heavy artillery. So our artillery cannot provide enough support to the infantry. The children have to fight with flesh and blood.
Go head-on against the various fortifications built by the enemy..."
"Well..." After pondering for a moment, Sun Chuanting turned to Zhu Ciyi who was half a body behind him and said: "Your Highness, I still firmly believe that Cao Bianjiao and the others achieved their intended purpose in Bogotá, so I still insist on continuing on the frontal battlefield.
storm."
"I understand. Please rest assured, Supervisor. Gu and the committees at all levels will explain the ideological work of the soldiers."
"Then Your Highness Lao. Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, have you heard this? Whether it is the front or the northwest side of Xibat, we must continue to attack. In this critical period of the battle, casualties must be considered, but that is not the first priority."
"The general will wait to receive his orders."
After the military meeting during the day, Zhu Ciyi quietly went to Sun Chuanting's room at night.
"Father-in-law, at the meeting during the day you asked my son-in-law to express his support. There is no problem. But to be honest, my son-in-law has no confidence in his heart."
"What? You have no confidence in Cao Bianjiao?"
"There is no problem with the combat strength of Cao Bianjiao's regiment. But if you go deep into the enemy's lair alone... the chance of success in such a thing is not high, right? According to my son-in-law's estimate in advance, half of Cao Bianjiao's regiment can climb over the mountain.
Not bad.”
"Then why did His Highness agree to let Cao Bianjiao's regiment carry out this beheading mission?"
"What my son-in-law was thinking at the time was that Bogotá could be defeated without asking Cao Bianjiao. As long as they could appear near Bogotá and force the enemy to have no choice but to draw troops from the front line to come back for reinforcements, it would be a success."
"Then it seems that Your Highness still lacks confidence in the special forces operations. Your Highness, I have far more expectations for the special forces. I am convinced that Cao Bianjiao has already taken Bogota. Of course, due to insufficient troops, he cannot defend Bogota. But
, before he withdraws from Bogota, he will definitely destroy all the ammunition and food in the enemy's reserve warehouse. Therefore, as long as we are willing to make certain sacrifices and launch a fierce attack here, we will have three to five days at most.
A big victory can be achieved!”
"Your Excellency, you actually have such strong confidence in Cao Bianjiao? Then my son-in-law is looking forward to good news from the front."
"Your Highness, I have confidence in the Khyber hero Cao Bianjiao. I have even more confidence in the special forces. In terms of military affairs, the emperor may not be as good as some of our veteran generals in the Ming Army in terms of tactical command. But at the strategic level, then
He is really far-sighted and never misses the mark. He established this special force and had very high expectations for it. As ministers, we must be able to make good use of such elites... Huh? Who is out there?"
"Supervisor, General Li Zicheng. A messenger from Cao Bianjiao has arrived, and General has brought it to you personally."
"Ah? Bring him in quickly!"
As Li Zicheng pushed the door open, two men with dark skin and weathered faces also walked in behind him.
"The Superintendent, Your Highness, the General, etc. have done everything they need to do in advance. The army number, the officers at all levels of the unit, and the incisions agreed in advance are all correct, and they are credible."
"Okay, you two heroes, please sit down and tell us about the situation of your regiment."
"Yes, Supervisor, Your Highness. I went into the mountains with Commander Cao on November 23, and attacked Bogota on the night of December 3... Before withdrawing from Bogotá, according to the confession of the captured Spanish prisoner, we sniped and killed him that night.
Luis, the eldest son of the King of Spain, was named Prince of Mexico... Later, the leader of the regiment sent a total of six groups of twelve people including us south to look for the main force to report. However, the Spanish thieves were very cunning, and they searched for us along the way. Therefore,
For a while, I was unable to break through the blockade of the Western bandits and contact the main force. The junior ranks even saw two comrades being detected, surrounded and killed by the Western bandits... However, after the main force of our army launched a fierce attack today, the Western bandits killed most of them.
The strength was returned to the front line. The search for us in the rear was greatly reduced, so the subordinates broke through the blockade and contacted General Li's troops..."
"Thank you for your hard work. But you just mentioned that in the night attack on the night of the 3rd, you killed the Spanish prince?"
"Yes. After the Spaniards were captured, they were asking our army who killed Prince Luis. According to them, this Luis is the eldest son of the King of Spain. Although he has not been officially canonized as Asturias
The prince, that is, has not been canonized as crown prince. But considering that the second son of the King of Spain is only seven years old at this time, everyone unanimously recognizes his status as crown prince. Therefore, this person was killed by a sniper, which is a big deal for the Spaniards.
, so much so that even these guys were captured, and they are still obsessed with finding the specific person who killed their crown prince."
"Hahaha~ I originally thought that it would take about three to five days to win the Battle of Bogota. And even after the Battle of Bogotá is won, it might take another three to five years to decide on the Americas. But from this point of view, with this Louis
With the death of the prince, the above process will be greatly accelerated! Li Zicheng, please take the two warriors back to have a good rest. Their rewards will be honored together with the rewards of the special forces after the war."
"yes!"
After Li Zicheng and others turned around and left, Sun Chuanting, who was very excited, walked around the room several times. He ignored Zhu Ciyi who was standing aside and sat down at the desk. Then he spread out the white paper, picked up the pen and started writing.
Start writing from left to right.
Zhu Ciyi leaned over gently and saw that Sun Chuanting was writing in Latin: In order to speed up the integration of Europe, Philip spent thirty years reviving Latin throughout Europe. Now, at least in the army, it has been fully realized.
Written orders are all Latin culture. As opponents of the Spaniards for many years, especially those who were blocked in the Andes Mountains in their early years and did not know how to spend a lot of time, Sun Chuanting and Zhu Ciyi actually mastered Latin proficiently.
"Cromwell's lesson is that it has been seven years and four months since Sun was sent here by our emperor in August of the seventeenth year of the Apocalypse (1635), and then he went hunting in America.
In the past seven years, I have received many gifts from you. Sun was in danger many times and almost escaped death. However, destiny is in our Ming Dynasty, and the so-called light of God can no longer shine on America. As a great man in this generation, how can I do nothing?
No premonition?
Today, the city of Bogotá has been destroyed, and all the ammunition, food and grass have been burned. Although there are still more than 100,000 soldiers under your command. However, in today's world, how can there be a strong army without guns and artillery, burning in the flames of hunger? The division under your control is
, in fact, it is a strong force on the outside. The day when it will fall apart is not far away.
The Ming Dynasty and Spain first have the hatred of Spain for stealing and selling drugs to me, and then they have the hatred of robbing my India and invading our Central and South Governor-General. Such an enemy country is really a life-and-death situation. Today, your army is in danger, but my army is absolutely
They have no mercy. We should attack with resolute determination and destroy them as much as possible. However, these people are not Spanish, let alone Castilian. Why should we sacrifice our lives for the sake of other countries and other people?
today?
Sun has lived in the Americas for more than seven years, and has been in contact with soldiers of many nationalities and nobles for many years. He has heard for a long time that European countries have been suffering from Spanish coercion. For example, Britain, his motherland, is called an independent country. However, diplomacy, military and even
When the new king came to the throne, it was all in the hands of Spain. Spain controlled the flow of technology, turning the whole of Britain into a simple cattle and sheep pasture and a source of soldiers. With the outstanding insight of one of the most outstanding people in the world, don't you know that Spain has evil intentions?
Today I just heard that the Spanish Crown Prince, Luis, was killed by our army in the chaos of Bogota. On the battlefield, it was just life and death. Sun Mou was neither happy nor sad about the death of the Crown Prince.
To put it simply, there is indeed a monstrous disaster...
As mentioned above, the defeat of the army led by me today has been determined. As a plan for me, there are three ways to go. One is to die here in battle. In this way, my army will be burdened with the incompetence of defeat in Europe, resulting in the infamy of the death of the crown prince.
He was infamy for thousands of years. After his defeat on the 2nd day, he fled to Mexico. As a result, he was soon imprisoned by the Spanish, and was toyed with by petty officials. In the end, he still had to bear the defeat, loss of troops and territory, and the many disgraceful consequences of the death of the crown prince.
Then they were either beheaded, strangled, or spent the rest of their lives in prison.
On the third day, we revolted in front of the battle line and led our cronies to defect to our rebel army in America. In this way, our reputation will be lost in Europe in a short period of time. However, look at the rise of our dynasty. In the future, our troops will be powerful in Europe.
That day must be not far away. In this way, not only can the reputation of this step be restored, but if the opportunity comes and we get the help of my emperor, we can rebuild Britain and become the number one protector of Britain.
At about the time when my motherland, Britain, was still a province of the Roman Empire, our Chinese Han Empire fell into civil war. One of the warlords named Zhang Xiu... attacked and killed Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang. However, when Zhang Xiu surrendered, Cao Cao personally came to greet him.
During Cao Cao's lifetime, he never pursued the blame for his son's murder. Our Chinese civilization has a long history of five thousand years, and our inclusiveness is truly the best at that time. Like Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu, there are few people who can forget their grudges and smile when they meet. Although he fought with our American rebels at one step.
Over the years, countless rebel soldiers have died. However, each of them is his own master. If he abandons the dark side and turns to the bright side, Sun promises on behalf of our emperor that he will never be held accountable...
