At the end of Dongcheng Long Street, there was a commotion in the huge Dongcheng military camp.
Most of the French garrison at Guri Port are stationed in this military camp. They belong to the Third Cavalry Battalion of the Royal Cavalry Regiment of the French Kingdom.
However, although it is called a cavalry battalion, in fact most of the Folangji troops stationed in the Garo Empire are infantry, and only a small number are cavalry.
The general leading the army is a major in the Royal Cavalry of the Franco Kingdom, named DeSantis. This man was transferred here just five years ago. Like all young officers of the Franco Kingdom, they came here.
There are only two purposes for leading overseas troops. One is to make money, and the other is to plating gold.
Overseas military leadership is a lucrative position, and everyone knows this. DeSantis's father is a political affairs officer in Lisbon. In order to get this job for his son, he spent a lot of gold coins and many connections, and finally got his wish. He sent his son here.
When he took office, his old father earnestly taught him to cherish this opportunity and add a glorious touch to his resume. When he returns to China in the future, he will definitely be reused.
It is best to be able to perform meritorious service and receive honors overseas, so that you will have the capital to be promoted later. After all, only by receiving honors and gaining a title can you step into the ranks of the true nobility.
DeSantis was convinced and decided to do something big. After he came to Guri Port on the South Asian continent with great ambitions, he found that the reality was cruel. Generals like them had no real fortune in overseas territories.
It can be fished out. Because most of the oil and water has been fished out by the governors and administrative officers in the colonies.
Behind the governor and officials are the domestic aristocratic groups, and they are just the spokespersons of these aristocrats. So although DeSantis is angry, there is nothing he can do. It is the domestic aristocratic group that has the power to speak, and His Majesty the King must also listen.
Their opinions. How could he, a small military officer, dare to express his dissatisfaction?
After his dream of making money was shattered, DeSantis had the idea of ​​meritorious service. He formulated a battle plan and suggested that the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Fleet, Mr. Almeida, allow him to lead his army north to attack Bahmani in the northern part of the Garo Empire.
Kingdom of the Sultans, Ledi and Kalinga. DeSantis's
The battle plan was extremely grand. According to his plan, he would lead his 5,000 soldiers from the 3rd Horse-Infantry Mixed Battalion of the Royal Cavalry Regiment to sweep across the northern continent of South Asia and occupy the fertile land irrigated by the large snow-capped mountains south of the Himalayan Snow Mountains, and provide a place for Buddha.
Langji State opened up vast colonies.
When Almeida saw this plan, she almost lost her breath with laughter. This DeSantis was probably crazy. Could it be that he really thought that the countries in the entire South Asian continent were barbarians and were weak persimmons who could be conquered by them.
Almeida originally captured Guri
The two ports of Goa and Goa almost capsized. If it weren't for the help of Timothy, the pirate leader, it would be impossible to succeed. The Garro Empire alone would have caused Almeida's adventure to die that year, let alone
The entire South Asian continent.
The king of the Garo Empire was ambitious and had 70,000 to 80,000 troops, but he did not dare to think of unifying the South Asian continent. DeSantis was really fanciful. He thought that he could conquer the entire continent with just some firearms. If things were as he thought.
Easy, how could it be his turn to propose it?
Almeida did not offend DeSantis, after all, the Army of the Royal Cavalry was not under the jurisdiction of his Eastern Fleet.
However, as a powerful tool for the Franco Kingdom to expand its territory in the east, Almeida gained great respect. Moreover, he also served as the governor of South Asia, and to a certain extent, he was DeSantis's boss.
Almeida told DeSantis that as long as the king agrees to the plan, the noble council agrees, and the military agrees, he will naturally agree to it. But before that, Almeida will never get involved in this matter.
How dare DeSantis submit this plan? As a small major, he does not have the power. The military bosses will not approve it, because those people are just losers.
Moreover, the reason why DeSantis asked Commander-in-Chief Almeida for instructions was because he wanted to use the Eastern Fleet as a banner and use their strength. As we all know, the most powerful thing in the Franco Kingdom is the navy. The most powerful among the navy.
It is the Eastern Fleet. If you can bring Almeida along with you, you will be invincible and you will be able to benefit from it.
Almeida asked him to report it to the country, which was actually a refusal.
DeSantis was very frustrated, and finally decided to take the risk and give it a try himself. So he organized a so-called military exercise. In the name of the exercise, he pulled 3,000 soldiers and horses out of Guri Port for field training. He will
Three thousand soldiers arrived at the border area 800 miles away between the Garo Empire and the small northern coastal country of Laidi Kingdom. He thought that if he could capture the small country of Laidi, it would prove his ability.
Of course, there must be a reason to fight. He pretended that a soldier was missing at the border and asked to lead his troops into the territory of the Ledi Kingdom to search. Of course, the border defenders of the Ledi Country refused. So DeSantis used the Ledi Nation to kill his own country.
The soldiers reasoned to launch an attack.
What they attacked was a coastal city called Vishal on the southern border of Ledi Country. The city was not big, and DeSantis believed that he could capture the city quickly. Even if the fire ceased in the end, at least he would be able to capture this city.
Use this city as a bargaining chip to make a big profit.
However, what he never expected was that as soon as the battle began, he fell into passivity. In the bullying mountains and rugged coast, his cavalry could not move quickly at all. The infantry was not adapted to such rugged terrain. More
The terrible thing is that at first, only a few enemies appeared on the outskirts of the city. After a few hours, the mountains and plains were filled with enemies, numbering in the tens of thousands.
They came from all directions. They walked barefoot in the rugged mountains like flying. Although they held simple weapons in their hands and even had naked and skinny bodies, their eyes were glowing green, like a group of hungry people.
of wild dogs.
The battle lasted for an hour, and the infantry collapsed. They suffered more than 200 casualties. They watched the opponent cut the dead and wounded Franco soldiers into corpses in front of them, hung their heads on wooden poles and charged forward. The scene was shocking.
The soldiers of Fo Langji did not dare to look directly at them. How could these pampered guys withstand such stimulation? How could they have the fighting spirit to fight these barbarians?
DeSantis was also frightened. What he thought was invincible and fled did not happen at all. What he thought was that these humble natives would be so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy and were slaughtered. What happened was that his soldiers were killed.
Torn into pieces, those skinny and dark-faced guys were not afraid of death at all. They chewed some strange things in their mouths, made strange roars and rushed forward desperately, unable to fight against them.
Fortunately, the soldiers and horses of the Gallo Empire have been paying attention to DeSantis's actions. At the critical moment, they sent troops to respond, and then the soldiers and horses of DeSantis, who had been defeated, were brought back to the territory. The soldiers of the Leidy Kingdom fell.
They did not dare to rush into the Jialuo Empire and attack because the soldiers of the Jialuo Empire were equally crazy.
Later, DeSantis learned that the soldiers of the Ledi Kingdom were chewing a drug that could cause them to hallucinate and make them feel like they were beasts and their opponents were little sheep. They all took this drug before fighting.
So I am not afraid of death at all.
Not only the Ledi Kingdom, but also the Kalinga Kingdom, Bahmani Kingdom, etc., they all do this. They use this addictive drug to stimulate and control their armies. Let them attack like wild beasts.
Not afraid of death. This drug will greatly exhaust their physical strength and life, but the nobles and kings of these countries still do it. Because in these countries, these soldiers are all pariahs, people like ants, and because
This group of people has terrifying reproductive capabilities, and there are so many of them.
DeSantis finally understood why Almeida had that sarcastic smile on his face when he talked about conquering the entire country of South Asia. Because he knew it was impossible. He was stupid enough to do it.
With such a daydream, I thought that I could become a second person like Almeida. I also thought that if Almeida opened up sea routes, I would become another strong pioneer on land.
This is so ridiculous. No wonder Almeida is laughing.
More than 300 people were killed or injured in this battle. This incident was enough for DeSantis to lose his military commission and go to a military court. However, Almeida saved him. Almeida's report to the country stated that
, it was the enemy who provoked first and launched a premeditated attack. DeSantis responded appropriately and avoided greater losses.
DeSantis was so grateful that Almeida's move saved him. Although he understood that this was Almeida's attempt to win over him, he was certainly grateful to Almeida for being able to cover it up for him at this juncture, and he was very grateful to Almeida.
Be grateful.
After that, DeSantis completely stopped. His efforts to make money and meritorious deeds all came to nothing. He spent his days wandering around the city drunkenly, spending time in taverns and brothels.
The five-year term is coming to an end day by day. DeSantis has made no achievements, but he has no choice but to resign himself to his fate.
Not long ago, I heard that Commander-in-Chief Almeida was also unlucky. The new Commander-in-Chief Alfonso is an extremely mean and hard-to-talk person. DeSantis has a very bad impression of him. This time he went to sea to fight, DeSantis was
He wanted to seize the last chance to participate in this battle and get some capital and credit before his term expired, but Ebi Alfonso refused.
Before going to sea, Alfonso told DeSantis that his duty was to stay at Guri Port and obey the orders of the new Guri Governor Matthews to ensure the safety of Guri. No unauthorized actions were allowed.
The last spark of hope in DeSantis's heart was snuffed out.
In the middle of the night, when explosions and noises rang out in Guli City, Major DeSantis was sleeping soundly in the military camp with his arms around a Franco prostitute who came to Guli from China to seek a living.
After his deputy woke him up, DeSantis vaguely heard the words "The enemy is attacking" and suddenly felt ecstatic.
The enemy is attacking? Doesn't that mean your opportunity is coming to your door? What about the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty? Is a place like Guli City a place where they can run wild? They can't defeat those beasts that took hallucinogens, and they can't defeat the Ming Dynasty.
Soldiers, Almeida and Alfonso were both defeated by the Ming Dynasty. If DeSantis could defeat them, what kind of feat would that be?
DeSantis seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, realizing that this was an opportunity that had come to his door. He was very clear about the defense of Guri Port. The enemy could not attack, could they fly in? Can they fly into the city?
The noise may be caused by a small number of people sneaking in, and it will soon subside. The cannons at the top of the city are roaring, which means that the main force of the Ming Dynasty is in the bay outside the city.
It's ridiculous that Alfonso fell into the trap and was deceived by the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty did not attack the port of Goa at all. He was destined to become the hero who protects Guri City. This must be the arrangement of God who has not blessed him for a long time.
"Send the order, everyone goes out to destroy the enemy. The time has come for meritorious service. Hahahaha." DeSantis laughed and gave the order loudly.
The prostitute next to her rolled her eyes and said: "The enemy has invaded, and you are still so happy. You are really a weirdo."
DeSantis slapped her on the fat white ass, making a crisp sound, and laughed: "You know nothing! Bichi."
All the soldiers and horses were quickly assembled. The roar outside was getting louder and louder, and the chaos in the city seemed to be getting more and more intense. DeSantis was very confused, but he refused to believe that a large group of enemies would attack. Besides,
He can't be a coward at this time.
After arranging the troops and horses, DeSantis rode on a tall horse and led 500 cavalrymen to rush out towards the gate of the military camp.
The streets outside the military camp were deserted, and there were some strange triangular wing-like things scattered everywhere. DeSantis was not in the mood to study why there were so many things on the streets. He led five hundred cavalry menacingly into the street.
mouth. Then, he heard roaring sounds coming from all directions.
A steel ball bullet hit DeSantis between the eyebrows. DeSantis fell off his horse without even understanding what happened. His body was trampled by the hooves of the horses beside him, and his panicked
His men screamed in panic in the rain of bullets, and their skin and flesh were torn apart by the bombing of Jinguarei.
DeSantis, an outstanding general of the Franco Kingdom, was killed by the fourth team of Ming soldiers led by Huo Shijian who blocked the entrance to the military camp and killed him as soon as he met him.
Later, in the records of the Guli War in the Franji Kingdom, DeSantis was recorded in the history of the Franji people as a hero who killed the enemy in blood and sacrificed his life heroically.
