Chapter 758 Blitzkrieg

Author: Linjiangjun
Because the Ming-Yin coalition attacked quickly and had cavalry, all 20,000 Spanish troops on the entire border were wiped out!
Therefore, even if the Ming army penetrated hundreds of miles into the Mexican colony of New Spain, the Spaniards had no reaction at all.
After going deep into the territory of the Mexican colony, Chen Shichang and Liu Junqing did not divide their troops to occupy a wide range of territory, but instead penetrated into Mexico City, the heart of the Spanish Mexican colony!
After all, the number of the Ming army was limited, and the territory of the New Spanish colony was vast, making it difficult to quickly occupy it with tens of thousands of soldiers.
Their goal is simple and clear: first capture Mexico City and defeat the main force of the Spanish colonial army.
The 20,000 Ming National Defense Forces, 10,000 Japanese cannon fodder, and 30,000 Yin soldiers, without any division of troops, combined together, undoubtedly gave Ye Chang an invincible force.
From the Mexican border to Mexico City in the south-central part of Mexico, the distance is about two thousand kilometers.
Along the way, the Ming army broke through all the blocking manors and castles, but did not occupy them. They only pursued and captured the Spanish colonial troops they encountered along the way to prevent them from leaking information.
Otherwise, the entire Ming army under the command of Chen Shichang and Liu Junqing headed towards the heart of Mexico City with unstoppable force.
Is that a blitzkrieg!
The Ming army's footsteps rumbled and seemed to never stop.
From here to the east, there seems to be an idea, move forward! move forward! move forward!
The Ming Dynasty's troops rolled forward like an iron stream. After walking out of the desert in northern Mexico, those troops who had traveled more than a thousand miles showed no intention of slowing down at all. They rushed towards Mexico like flying, hoping to fight again.
The people of New Spain were caught off guard.
When they passed by the town of San Juan, the small number of knights and militiamen guarding San Juan were shot several times by the Ming Dynasty without even knowing what was happening.
Those few shots choked San Juan's guard Cordoba to death!
After frightening the defenders of San Juan, the Ming army directly bypassed the enemy and marched straight towards Mexico.
Tens of thousands of troops galloped all the way to the south-east. When they were tired, they would rest on the roadside for a while, and when they were hungry, they would nibble on steamed buns. Although they were tired and miserable, no one said a word, and their morale was getting higher day by day!
Just ask for an attack on Eastern Mexico, and the wealth of New Spain for more than a hundred years will belong to them. Isn't the morale high?
Although most of them asked for confiscation, if you just asked them to leave some loot to them, they would still make a lot of money!
As soon as the news of the Ming army's invasion reached Mexico City, the entire Mexico City was in chaos.
Especially Spanish immigrants, they are fearful as never before.
Outside the Governor's Palace, Bartolome, who had fallen into a coma, finally woke up.
He had been standing in front of the huge map hanging outside his office for several hours, from noon to dark.
A servant held the candlestick and illuminated it for him, so that the governor could find out the way to defeat the enemy from the picture in front of him.
Bartolome: It’s really painful to think about it!
Was Spain so powerful back then?
Possessing the crown of two continents, the moon never sets, the hegemony of both sea and land, the invincible fleet on the sea, the Spanish phalanx on the land, good generals and commanders not only as good as the clouds, but also in hordes.
It's good now. Only Bartolome is struggling to support the New World.
From the European continent to the New World, among such a large empire, it seems that the only one fighting the war is Dong Ta.
Paul was a great guy before, but now he's completely useless.
After a while, Governor Bartolome's expression immediately became determined again.
"No! No matter how powerful the Ming army is, Mexico City will never let them attack the east!"
The Mexican colony of New Spain was the most sought-after colony by the Spanish Empire, which was related to the Spanish Empire's future re-emergence as a world hegemon.
Once lost, it will greatly affect the overall national strength of their Spanish Empire!
Immediately, Bartolome ordered all the surrounding Spanish colonial soldiers to come to Mexico City. He also ordered to recruit the forces of all the immigrant estates around Mexico City to come and defend Mexico City with arms.
There are approximately 40,000 Spanish colonial soldiers in Mexico City. If all the colonial soldiers that can be concentrated around Mexico City are concentrated, there will be approximately 50,000 Spanish colonial soldiers in the east.
If you recruit the armed forces of the immigrant estates again, you can hit Liu Wanduo's soldiers guarding Mexico City.
After another half day, Governor Bartolome finally got the number of the invading Ming army, which was roughly 60,000 in the east.
It’s much more than he expected!
Originally he thought there would be at most 50,000 people.
Did Akito go crazy that time, or did he really want to attack Eastern Mexico City?
60,000 is wrong 60,000, it feels like the advantage is not in him!
what can we do about it!
Bartolome thought about it a lot, and finally had his mind set on the Aztecs.
The total Aztec population in the area around Mexico City was nearly half a million.
If it can be organized, it shouldn't be difficult to organize tens of thousands of people.
Even if the Aztecs' combat effectiveness was not very high, they could at least be used as cannon fodder to attract a few Akito cannonballs and bullets.
The more they attract, the less Spanish soldiers will suffer, a sure profit without loss.
The relationship between the Spaniards and the Aztecs was not very good. It was a bit difficult to persuade the Aztecs to help resist the Ming army.
Except for those Aztecs who have been westernized, most Aztecs will definitely not take the initiative to help them.
After thinking for a long time, Bartolome narrowed his eyes slightly and thought of the last solution, which was to go to the Ming army and grab the shit basin.
That month, Bartolome sent a large number of Spanish soldiers to publicize the ferocity and bloodthirsty of the Ming army to the Aztecs!
They preached: Wherever the Ming army passed, corpses littered the fields. The natives of North America had been killed by the Ming army. Countless natives fell in the massacre of the Ming army.
Bartolomenac told the Aztecs that once the Ming army captured Mexico, they would definitely be massacred and enslaved by the Ming army!
Forcing the Aztecs and Spain to unite against the Ming army.
Most of the Aztecs were not awakened and had not been penetrated by the Mayan Revival Society. They ignored the wind and rain. They had been ruled by Spain for many years and they were accustomed to obeying the Spanish.
Because if you don't listen, you will be punished by a terrible plague.
People from the Mayan Renaissance Society also took the opportunity to sneak in. Although they have more than 200 people in Mexico City, they may be of great use at a critical moment.
While Bartolome was raising military strength, the Ming Empire's crescent flag was flying high in a manor house more than five miles north of Mexico City.
All the soldiers in the brigade have stopped advancing.
Either doing temporary repairs, or digging trenches and building fortifications outside the manor.
More than a month of continuous marching and fighting had made the army look quite embarrassed, and the soldiers were tanned and thin.
If everyone didn't have a yellow face, they would look a bit like an army from Africa.
