The Spanish troops who came to relieve the Governor were actually supported by servants. However, because they doubted the loyalty of the local indigenous people and underestimated the enemy's carelessness, they believed that the yellow-skinned monkeys were vulnerable, so they did not participate in the first attack. .
As a result, nearly a thousand cavalrymen only charged once and suffered a devastating blow from the opponent. After running to a safe area, no more than 300 troops could continue fighting.
This still includes those who were slightly injured, otherwise there would only be a hundred or so soldiers available to fight.
From top to bottom, the Spanish reinforcements did not expect that the yellow-skinned monkey's firepower would reach such a ferocious level, judging from what they felt in actual combat.
If you want to overwhelm the opponent's three thousand infantry, you need at least the same number of cavalry!
And no one understands why the yellow-skinned monkey's gun keeps firing, firing five or six times before changing the ammunition.
This is simply unbelievable, and everyone would believe it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
If what you see with your eyes is true, just to defeat the three thousand yellow-skinned monkey infantry, more than three thousand cavalry will be needed.
This was an extremely serious challenge for the Spanish defenders throughout the Viceroyalty of Peru.
No one can figure out why the yellow-skinned monkeys have such weapons that can fire continuously, but the powerful imperial troops do not.
Philip IV, who had entered his twilight years, strictly prohibited the publication of any news about how advanced the Ming Empire was at home and in overseas territories.
In newspapers or magazines, the Ming Empire was still an extremely backward country and was defeated by the powerful Spain. All aspects were not worth mentioning at all.
As a result, the generals were not clear about the opponent's development situation, and then made tactical misjudgments, suffering heavy casualties, and the morale of the survivors plummeted.
Now the reinforcements that rushed to the outskirts of Lima first also needed the support of follow-up reinforcements, otherwise they would not be able to carry out the second relief operation.
As for the servants who were waiting and watching, they saw that the elite cavalry of their masters, who only had an advantage over them, were defeated on the battlefield and were completely defeated by the opponent, and they lost the desire to fight.
In order not to directly disobey orders, everyone hid in the mountains and could not come out. The reasons were lack of supplies, arrears of military pay, sudden epidemics, etc. You can make up any excuses.
"Warriors! Our reinforcements are coming! Now is the perfect time to counterattack! Rush out! Kill all those yellow-skinned monkeys! For each yellow-skinned monkey killed, you will be rewarded with three silver coins!"
After Colonel Vidal assembled the defenders in the castle, Governor Guzman encouraged the people in public.
He could no longer bear the stench of the castle. The reinforcements came at just the right time. It was a blessing.
Vidal did not approve of launching an attack at this time, but the sanitary conditions in the castle had deteriorated sharply.
It can be said responsibly that there are more than a hundred times as many maggots and flies inside as the defenders and Pingmin!
It might as well be safer than hell if you factor in mosquito bites.
After arming thousands of sailors, adult men, and some indigenous people, Vidal also had a team of more than 3,000 people.
Maybe you can't defeat the enemy on your own, but if you cooperate with reinforcements from outside, you can have the effect of surprising the enemy.
"Kill the yellow-skinned monkey! Charge!"
After hearing that a yellow-skinned monkey was worth three silver coins, the improvised team in the castle became more motivated to fight, and both the soldiers and the minions became very excited.
What's more, some people have the idea of grabbing another one. As long as they take advantage of the chaos and board the ship immediately afterwards, everything will be fine.
There were 1,500 marines and 3,000 Zheng soldiers besieging the castle. Four steam tanks and dozens of mortars and French locomotives were also deployed in each direction.
The defenders rushed out desperately from the north, intending to join up with the reinforcements outside first, and then turn around and rush into the city, thereby completely defeating the Ming Expeditionary Force.
However, even if the combination of defeated soldiers, Min soldiers, and sailors had a numerical advantage, they would ultimately be no match for the Ming Dynasty's regular army, which was well-trained, brave and adept at fighting.
Even in front of semi-amateur opponents, Zheng Jun was considered a scientifically trained regular army, and because he had fought in a battle, he already had a psychological advantage and was not afraid of the opponent's counterattack.
Due to lack of control over each other, chaotic command, and the inability to maintain a certain formation under the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, the defenders' attack appeared disorganized and without tactics.
It was just pounding and rushing all the way, and it looked better at the beginning, as spectacular as mercury pouring down the ground.
But as the mortars and Franchise guns opened fire, they were hit by revolvers and grenades in turn.
The casualties in the charge team increased sharply, and they were even knocked down by the Ming army at close range, directly defeating the ragtag group of people on the opposite side.
As the two airships of the Ming Army took off one after another and were responsible for conducting reconnaissance and search, Jiexuan, who received constant reports from the pilots, was well aware of the movements of the surrounding enemy forces.
Seeing that the opponent had a big monster that could fly into the air, the Incas who worked for Guzman felt extremely frightened, and they all knelt down and kowtowed to express their submission.
They think that whoever can fly into the sky must be a god!
No matter what, it is impossible for me to do so, let alone fight against God!
Since God is on the other side's side, he can only give up resistance.
"A bunch of trash! Cowards! Cowards!"
When Guzman saw the army rushing towards the yellow-skinned monkey defense line and starting to turn around and run back, he suddenly became furious and began to curse.
But among the numerous gunfire, his words had no deterrent effect at all and could only be regarded as an emotional vent.
The natives in the team were either dead, wounded or on their knees. The sailors and the city min had no fighting will at all, and they ran away when the situation was not going well.
Only the soldiers, led by the officers, continued to advance for a symbolic distance, but they were quickly repelled by the opponent.
The defenders dispatched more than 300 cavalry, but under the fierce blow of rapid-fire artillery fire, more than half of the horses were eventually turned into horse meat!
No one will reason with you on the battlefield. What we are talking about here is tactics, firepower, and discipline!
As for the number of people...
There are dead and injured people everywhere, and those who can still breathe are hoping to save themselves!
Poirot and his men have been doing several things in recent days, looking for coconuts, digging holes, searching for hidden Spaniards, and providing surrounding terrain and intelligence.
Digging holes should do the most work, because every time the God-given army will win a great victory, today is no exception.
It would be great if all those damn Spaniards could be killed by the god-given army without taking action themselves.
Due to fighting in tropical areas and being exposed to wind and sun at sea, the skin color of the soldiers of the expeditionary force has become indistinguishable from the local indigenous people.
As long as they put on a costume and a headdress, the Spaniards wouldn't be able to tell at all. The special forces will take advantage of this and stir up trouble in some places...
The method is very simple, just pretend to be a puppet army to attack the Spanish reinforcements, and it works every time!
After several sneak attacks, the reinforcements now do not trust the puppet troops at all, and there are even signs of attacking the puppet troops.
After this trick didn't work, Jiexuan withdrew the special forces and asked them to stand by in the rear. He could not let the precious special forces go to waste.
"Your Majesty the Governor, what should we do now?"
"The military aspect should be your responsibility!"
"Only if there are reinforcements!"
"Where are the reinforcements?"
"When they come, you can ask in person!"
"I'm asking you!"
"With all due respect, your questions will only make you angrier!"
"you……"
Guzman and Vidal, who fled back to the castle, faced the result of more than half of the casualties, and could only begin to blame each other.
But both sides know that this accusation is meaningless at this time because there is no feasible content.
After smelling the familiar odor, everyone felt like they were back in the toilet rather than in the castle!
Now there may be two options, either die in battle outside, or be smoked to death inside!
What's even more frightening is that after winning the victory, the yellow-skinned monkeys outside started firing coconut bombs on a large scale...
Zheng Guangying believes that people must show respect and artillery must fire. The two complement each other!
If the Spanish cattle dare to rush out, let guns and cannons civilize them.
Otherwise, just fire tens of thousands of coconut bombs every day and let them enjoy themselves!
Life is so cruel, let all the barbarians die!
They refused to surrender, tried to break out of the encirclement, and even attempted to counterattack!
Both Jiexuan and Zheng Guangying believed that such behavior must be severely punished!
"Pfft! Ah..."
Now Poirot and his men have gradually become more courageous, and they have learned to give their former master a white knife to go in and a red knife to come out.
The execution site was located near the castle, and the defenders inside could just see this pleasant scene. This was the good thing they had done to the natives back then.
Now that it falls on them, it should be understandable. It is easy to stop them, just surrender.
All Spanish livestock that were alive and had no use value were taken to the execution ground and left to the natives to do whatever they wanted.
This is how courage and confidence are built, otherwise we will be enslaved and oppressed by these animals for generations to come!
Those Spanish women who were unqualified in terms of body shape, appearance, age, and health were also handed over to the natives.
Of course not to kill them, but to let them entertain themselves, at least to achieve the purpose of entertaining and educating them!
It would be best if these women could give birth to a bunch of mixed-race children for the indigenous people, and when they grow up, they can continue to fight against the Western army.
Because they didn't know the news about Lima being captured, many Spanish armed merchant ships had come here around Cape Horn in recent days.
The result was that the Ming King's division was advantaged in vain. As long as they were discovered by armored ships at sea, these low-speed merchant ships would definitely not be able to escape.
Either it will be stubborn and be directly sunk.
Or be taken to the port of Lima and become a trophy of the Ming Dynasty's army.
For those who cooperate with the action, Jiexuan can open up the net, let the captain and sailors go ashore, and then walk back...
Anyone who disobeys will be counted as one, and the boat and people will be sunk together!
The greatest fun of the crew is to test their own black shark mines on those disobedient Spanish merchant ships!
Use your own merchant ships for target practice. If the ship is small, it will not show its lethality. If the ship is large, the cost will be too high.
The enemy's merchant ships are the best targets, and they can also test the damage done to the crew.
Currently, torpedoes can only be launched in low-intensity naval battles and when the sea conditions are good.
Otherwise, before the torpedo can ignite, it will either make a mistake and fall into the sea, or the tail nozzle will be filled with sea water.
"One torpedo for one ship!"
This is the wise saying of a certain new emperor, and it is highly praised by everyone in the fleet.
Only when anti-ship missiles evolve to the fourth or fifth generation of the "harpoon" can it be possible to destroy an enemy ship with one missile.
This is not the case with torpedoes. Since Western-style Galen ships have no compartment design, once a hole is blown below the waterline, it will not be far from turning into an aquarium.
Jiexuan knew that no matter how large the tonnage was, the wooden ship was also afraid of torpedoes. However, he had suffered from too much battle pressure and could not underestimate the enemy, so he did not order the use of this weapon.
Now that there are no more worries than before, games like shooting down single armed merchant ships are more in line with the conditions for using torpedoes.
In fact, as long as the gunner on the opposite ship is high enough and lucky enough, the torpedo can be destroyed with a continuous-fire Folan machine. The principle is similar to that of anti-ship missiles.
But under normal circumstances, when seeing a harpoon or a black shark, many crew members have been frightened, and those who were not frightened immediately jumped into the sea to escape...
If you want to resist, the possibility of success is almost zero. So far, no Spanish armed merchant ship has successfully escaped.
In five days, they captured twenty-seven armed merchant ships and sank eight of them. None of them were killed in the battle, and less than fifty were wounded.
This ratio of battle results to battle losses is considered very excellent. Jiexuan even believes that the fleet should conduct expeditions or ocean training every day in the future.
Only by constantly engaging in actual combat can the fleet's combat effectiveness be quickly improved and practical experience accumulated.
And there is no need to think too much about the cost. Firstly, it can be traded, and secondly, it can be seized.
Not only will it not lose money, the fleet can also make a small profit for the court, so why not?
In terms of strategy, attacking Spain's economy and military in the Viceroyalty of the Americas is a way to weaken its national power.
At the same time, Jiexuan also taught Poirot how to prevent smallpox, which was the greatest gift.
The Spaniards used this method to wipe out tens of millions of Incas. Once the local indigenous people were no longer afraid of smallpox, they would have to find another way.
Even the bravest warrior in Poirot's team was frightened by the word smallpox.
It wasn't until the general of the God-given Army personally promised that he would be cured and offered a heavy reward that anyone dared to try.
Poirot sent people to find a cow with pox, and then saw an extremely shocking scene with his own eyes...
The method of vaccination had already spread to Europe, and the Spanish had already mastered this technology, but they said nothing about the Native Americans.
After Poirot and others knew the inside story, they hated these damn guys even more.
Originally, he wanted to make Jie Xuan a divine envoy, but the latter took out a photo of a certain new emperor.
Poirot and the others were now frightened out of their wits, and those who originally did not believe in the revelation of their identities knelt down and kowtowed willingly.
Jiexuan announced in public that Zhu Cixiang, Emperor Haojing of the Ming Dynasty, was the only true god in the world!
Airships, vaccinations, photography, armored ships, steam tanks and many other miracles were all created by this true god.
The Haojing Emperor Zhu Cixiang of the Ming Dynasty did not want our land, let alone our lives, as long as we got rid of the control of Spanish livestock and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
So simple?
It's that simple!
In addition, it would be even better if we can have mutual benefits with Daming!
After a short discussion, the natives agreed that there was nothing better than this!
The Ming Dynasty is the Kingdom of God, and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is a god!
