Chapter 214 The war begins! It's a bit awkward

November was in 1864, and the average place had already entered winter, especially in the northern hemisphere.n∈, but in Mexico, although it was also winter, the winter here seemed to be like spring.

There is no way, this place is full of mountains, and most of the places where people can live are basins. The cold air cannot rush in. It is simply a holy place for cats and winters.

"How far are we from El Paso?" Yang Willie sat on the horse. To be honest, although the weather was very good, it was really deadly along the way.

"It should be not far away. Geronimo said that if you turn this mountain, the northeast is El Paso!" As the supreme commander of the Northern Group of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, Song Yulong is actually just a regiment commander with only 1,000 people under his command, but this is also good, and he is about to reach his destination.

"Oh! We're here, it's really too long!" Gao Zhenyu, as the second-ranked figure, shouldn't have complained, but he really doesn't complain a few times, I'm so sorry for myself.

After landing, the Imperial Team and the Indian coalition forces had been leaving for more than two months and almost three months. It was enough to reach their destination for this trip.

But in fact, Geronimo said that this is quite fast.

"Gentlemen! You would not have been here so soon without the help of our Indians."

I have to say that Geronimo is right. There are mountains along the way. The Northern Group of the Empire really suffered a lot. They followed the Indians and circled around these mountains, sometimes heading north and sometimes south. To be honest, if there were no local snakes like the Indians, others would definitely be lost!

However, what Yang Willie is thinking now is that maybe that's why Americans don't want this place, it's too difficult to walk. Moreover, there seems to be nothing else that is too valuable except for silver.

However, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire was to ask the Northern Group. Although it was just a group, they would cooperate with the Indians to eventually take El Paso, that is, to kill the Juarez regime!

Along the way, the Indians were so happy. They really burned, killed, looted. Anyway, this was their place, and the descendants of the Mexicans and all kinds of mixed-race children were enemies and invaders. They had a lot of harm to the Indians at the beginning. Now... isn't it equivalent to Hu Hansan being back?

Of course, Yang Weili didn't know who Hu Hansan was. What he was even more moved now was His Majesty's wisdom.

These Indians were not just guides, but also helped the Emperors to remove all factors that could threaten this military activity. Those Mexican locals were likely to inform them.

If the Emperor** people were asked to kill those individuals, many of our third army, who were originally oppressed, really couldn't do this. Maybe we Chinese looked down on those mixed-race guys, but if we wanted to kill them, Chinese and black people, we might not be able to do it, or we would not be as cruel as the Indians!

Now, everything has been solved. Maybe the process is cruel, but in terms of military terms, it has indeed achieved a good effect. It can only be said that His Majesty the Emperor has made far-sighted plans. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor did not say that, and asked the Indians to burn, kill and loot, but Yang Weili felt that maybe this was His Majesty the Emperor...

"General." Nageronimo called Yang Willie. He was also a discerning person. It could be seen that among the subordinates of the sons of God, Yang Willie was the most idealistic, and the others also looked up to this person. "What should we do next?"

"What is the terrain of the El Paso delnot where Juarez is?" Yang Willie could hear it, but at this time, it was useless to explain, and it was even more obvious.

"Flat, there is a plain!" Geronimo was very familiar with it.

"Then, you will attack directly!" Yang Willie's answer was very simple.

"..." Song Yulong and Gao Zhenyu looked at each other, and they both thought... this was too simple and crude, right?

"Very good!" However, Geronimo didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He just attacked directly, just attacked directly...

When approaching El Paso, they said before that they needed to bypass a hill, and then there was a plain. Generally speaking, this "mountain" would definitely have defense. The Juarez regime would definitely arrange defenders here. However, when the Northern Group came here, they were surprised to find out.

There is no one!

"God bless Your Majesty!" Song Yulong sighed directly, it was so smooth!

"Long live Your Majesty!" Gao Zhenyu couldn't help himself.

After successfully bypassing this mountain, El Paso Delnot is ahead, so what else can I count?

Woola! Woola!

As the arrangement was made, the Indians rode their horses, of course they took the lead. Besides, the Delnot, a very small town, was a village before Juarez came, and it was a bit large now, but of course there were no walls, so when would the cavalry not rush?

"Comrades! Go forward!"

“all-hail-lee!”

The more than 1,000 people from the Imperial Northern Group also took neat steps and began to move forward. It's okay, but in fact, this is to realistically see the military discipline and the Indians.

But, however, when less than one kilometer away from Delnot, the Northern Group discovered something.

"Look! What is that?"

"This, this..."

In the telescope, a flag appeared in the center of Delnot. There were many white stars and red and blue stripes on it. It was the national flag of the United States of America!

It is obvious that the American power has reached Mexico. It is obvious that Juarez is likely to be under the protection of the American power. It should be said that these things were known for a long time, but now the United States is doing it too blatant!

So, whether to fight or not?

This idea just stopped in Yang Willie, Song Yulong, Gao Zhenyu and the other two. Because they immediately realized that their teammates are Indians now!

Woola! Woola!

Bang bang! Bang bang bang!

The Indians don’t care about anything, what the fuck is the national flag, do it! Just do it!

"Fight!"

It's not OK to fight.

"Comrades! Go forward!"

“all-hail-lee!”

The iron hooves of the American Empire stepped into Delnot, and at the same time they also stepped on the star-striped flag under their feet...

At the same time, in central Mexico, Queretaro was the center of a typhoon. Many forces were mixed here.

"Your Majesty, our army has arrived outside Queretaro!"

"very good!"

"Your Majesty, our army has launched an attack!"

"very good!"

"Your Majesty! Our army's attack has been set."

"very……"

Maximiliano almost said it was very good, but he couldn't say it was bad, because that meaning was bad and would hurt other people's morale.

To be honest, Maximiliano is not a mediocre person, but he really has ambitions in Mexico. He is actually not a completely bare commander. Some Mexicans support him. He formed the Mexican team, but it is much worse than the French.

So, in this battle to attack Quretaro, he had to get it, but it was not easy to interfere too much. Just let me, the emperor, know what happened, and that would be almost done.

It should be said that the emperor Maximiliano still has a certain level. He also knows that this war cannot lead to many families. However, our Emperor’s Majesty has a good sense of enlightenment, which does not mean that other people also have such awareness!

"Almont! What is your offensive formation? Is that pig shit? You made at least three mistakes in the command just now!"

"His Excellency Manion! If there is any problem with my command, you can criticize me again after the end of this battle. Of course, I will reserve the right to record all the details of this battle and present them to His Majesty the Emperor!"

In the French tent, Marshal Manion and President Almont were having a lot of fun in the fight.

The reason is very simple. In a tentative attack just now, 500 people went up, but less than 100 people came back!

The casualties ratio is simply terrifying. The French army did not fight so badly in Mexico. Moreover, before, the French army carried out artillery bombardment for at least one hour, but the result was still so bad.

It should be said that the artillery today has little effect on the trench defense line like Li Mengyang. At this time, the artillery was still shooting balls, and there was almost no possibility of being penetrated into the trench. Of course, if it was a rock, it would be different. If the stone was smashed by a shell, the killing would be doubled.

But by chance, Queretaro is a basin, and there are relatively few stones on the plains, so the artillery fire is basically useless.

After an hour of shooting, there were not many casualties on the other side. Then 500 people went up and all filled the pits, making people roaming guns and put them in a huge area.

Originally, Manion was competing with Almont for command of the French army. How could the old marshal seize this opportunity?

"Cough cough, cough cough..." The old coach was coughing, his illness was not cured yet. "Now I will order you as the Imperial Marshal! The next battle will be directed by me!"

Manion almost had his firepower on his face, and for the sake of command, he really took the initiative.

"Very good." Almont didn't argue. In fact, he fully understood Manion's idea, but hehe, this old man is here to try it now, so you can try it.

In fact, the reason why he sent 500 people before was that the French army had 15,000 troops. This is the strongest force in Mexico, but he still used so few people. That is because Almont knew that the American Empire's army was strange!

When they attacked Yuma Town, someone fled back. One of the things they came back was to cry and tell the story of Yuma Town. It was simply terrifying, an extremely terrifying weapon.

And now, Almont saw it very clearly that those bastards in the American Empire didn't use any special weapons at all, so...

Hehe, old man, you are waiting to suffer a loss! (To be continued...)
