On the American battlefield, the war between Britain and France officially began.
Long Yancheng was actively deploying troops at this time to prevent being involved in the war against the French and Indians.
Yuncheng, as the rear area of Longyan City, is one of the few peaceful places in America. At this time, Yuncheng is actively transporting supplies and is ready to assist Longyan City at any time.
All the forces in America seemed to be preparing for this war between the French and the British.
But they seem to have ignored another giant power in the Americas.
The most powerful maritime colonial empire that ever spanned the oceans was the Spanish Empire.
Although Spain is gradually declining, it still has some remaining strength and can be regarded as the fourth largest power in the Americas.
However, America to Spain is not as simple as a colony.
Spain is no longer the powerful empire it once was. After losing too many colonies on other continents, the colonies in the Americas have become extremely important.
Now that France is expanding eastward and Britain is advancing westward, Longyan City is developing steadily without expanding its territory. of
Such a chaotic situation is a big opportunity for Spain.
Once upon a time, the Spaniards were the dominant force in the Americas. If the British and the French had joined forces, Spain would not have lost most of its colonies in the Americas, but would have been able to huddle in a small place called Florida in South America and North America.
If Spain wants to become strong again, it must seize the opportunity of this war between Britain and the French to expand its colonial area.
Seize resources!
Both the French and the British were fighting at this time, but the Spanish were not stupid enough to attack either of their territories.
After all, the Spanish mainland is still in Europe. If it encounters liquidation by the French and British, the Spanish mainland will definitely fall.
The King of Britain had competed for the throne of Spain.
So the leader of Spanish America made a mind-blowing decision.
They prepare to attack Longyan.
Over in Florida, there happened to be a territory belonging to Long Yan.
They set their sights on that territory. They chose this territory to start because, although it was Longyan's territory, it was very far away from Longyan City.
Longyan's is difficult to attack.
More importantly, although this is Long Yan's territory, Long Yan does not have many troops stationed here, and its defense force is weak.
But Long Yan invested a lot of capital here.
On the contrary, it is very huge. According to their understanding, Longyan people vigorously develop planting industry here, cotton and other economic crops, and also open pastures. It is very likely that this is Longyan's horse farm!
Although there is no factory established by Long Yan here, just the word racecourse is enough to attract the Spaniards.
After the Spanish Empire declined, cavalry, a costly unit, could no longer be maintained.
Not to mention war horses, this kind of thing, apart from what was left over from before, almost exists in fantasy.
This was a fatal temptation for the Spaniards.
Therefore, Spain and America all agreed on the decision to occupy the city of Longyan. No one refused, and there was no reason for refusal.
The operation against Long Yan's third city began quickly.
…
At this time, on the European battlefield.
In order to completely defeat the Holy Crusaders entrenched in Hanover, Ling Chen sent out a cavalry team of thirty people.
They wanted to make a surprise attack from the rear and cut off the supply lines of the Holy Crusaders.
And he took advantage of this moment to launch a decisive battle and completely defeat the Holy Crusaders.
The thirty-man troop, following the route pointed out by Diana, quickly reached the rear supply line of the Holy Crusaders.
Although there were several dangers along the way, it did not affect their march.
Snow marching is not that difficult.
But their only difficulty is that they only have thirty people and thirty riders.
With such a force, it is absolutely impossible to destroy the Holy Crusaders' supply lines head-on.
His initial plan was not to fight head-on, but to use explosives to blow up the transportation routes here.
Then they took advantage of the cavalry to launch guerrillas in the mountains and forests, delaying the Holy Crusaders' time to repair the roads.
But such an action plan went bankrupt before it even started.
Hannover belongs to the inland area of Europe, and it is on a mountainous area with a high altitude. This geographical environment causes the temperature here to be lower than other places.
For fear of being discovered by the enemy, they did not dare to light a fire to increase the temperature or dig up the ground here.
They have no way to destroy the roads, the ground in winter cannot be dug at all, and they have no way to place the mines they carry.
They can only take an offensive to intercept the incoming Holy Crusaders supply troops, but they are not sure when these Holy Crusaders will transport supplies.
Several days passed.
These dragon flame cavalry ambushing in the mountains relied on their strong will and dried chili peppers to resist the wind and cold, and a little bit of water frozen into ice cubes to stay alive. After waiting for five days, just when they were about to be conquered by the chili peppers, they finally Saw hope.
The supply troops of the Holy Crusaders escorted supplies through this route.
At noon, these Crusaders were still making fire here to cook.
Seeing this scene, the Dragon Flame Cavalry, who had been hungry for several days and had green eyes, immediately launched a surprise attack.
No one knows how bold and capable they are unless they force them.
At that time, the supply force of the Holy Crusaders was not large, only ten times that of the Dragon Flame Cavalry.
There are only three hundred people, but the Holy Crusaders are equipped with complete musketeers, infantry, and cavalry.
Faced with a slight disparity in strength, the dragon-headed cavalry, who had been starving for a long time, quickly launched an attack.
This time they came not with muskets, but with crossbows.
After the plan to use landmines to destroy the Holy Crusaders' transportation lines went bankrupt, the captain of the Dragon Flame Cavalry came up with a way.
These mines must not be used to create traps to ambush the Holy Crusaders.
Instead of wasting it on your body, it is better to make some usable explosives, which can not only reuse the waste, but also achieve the effect of defeating the enemy.
Thinking of this, these cavalry moved quickly.
The Long Yan Army is very different from other armies. After Liu Zheng went through the reform, every Long Yan soldier needs to learn some knowledge.
Liu Zheng called them mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
The whims of Captain Longyan Cavalry are not unreasonable. He has seen grenades and also seen Longyan's fireworks - the Sky-Sky Monkey.
I thought of a possibility, is it possible to combine grenades with the bow and arrow in my hand.
Create an explosive bow and arrow?
In order to verify their ideas and creativity, the Dragon Flame Cavalry transformed into craftsmen one by one and did what they said.
