Mosquito Coast.

Miskito, mosquito, this is what the British called them when they met Miskito, because there are so many mosquitoes here, and Miskito lives here without any effect. Therefore, the British are like this.

Call them jokingly.

The Indian tribe didn't care and happily accepted the title. The only reason was that their chief was canonized by the British king as the mosquito king.

Since the last British invasion, the San Juan River has been quiet. Although occasionally pirates are harassed, it is not harmful.

Even so, the guards of the city of Northern San Juan still sent a clutch to cruise the Mosquito Coast.

August in the Gulf of Mexico is the better season of the year, the temperature drops rapidly, and the hurricane season has passed, and the speedboat with three sails is leisurely shuttled back and forth about one mile from the mainland, on the boat

The sailor even set up a fishing rod on it.

Until a wisp of black smoke appeared in the sky.

It is not the first time that black smoke has appeared here, because Truchen's steamships often appear here. Although Truchen is the actual enemy country in Spain, the two sides have signed a peace agreement and the trade between them is still

In progress.

A large number of American sausage trees are produced in Central America, and their bark can be used as laxatives. Truqin people have adopted it in large quantities, and Europeans have also discovered this secret. It is also a product exported in large quantities across Central America, and Truqin is also the target of sales.

Of course, the coastline of Central America is too long, and the Truchens had already transplanted some to Cuba, and before they could form a forest, they still needed to purchase a large amount of them.

The Clippers hesitated.

Should I go to the San Juan River to report to the chief, or to see what happened?

While hesitating, a wooden Saiyin number with a red-bottomed golden dragon appeared.

Although it is made of wooden, the layout of the new warship is almost the same as that of the iron armored warship. It is still a twelve-centimeter rotating turret at the beginning and end.

As soon as he saw it was a warship, the Clippers no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the sailing position to be adjusted and prepared to sail to the estuary of the San Juan River.

It is now autumn in the Gulf of Mexico, and it is the time when the wind direction is most complicated in the year. Generally speaking, the southeast wind prevails in summer and the north wind prevails in winter. However, in spring and autumn, the two wind directions are shaking, the San Juan River

It is roughly north-south nearby, but it is the time when the south wind is the main one!

If the Clippers want to use their sails to quickly enter the San Juan River against the wind, they must walk in the wind. In that case, they must first drive the ship to the sea outside and then go around a large circle to get back there.

But there are potential enemy ships in the outer sea at this time!

So, in an instant, the Clippers began to spin on the spot!

In an instant, Saiyin number was only three hundred meters away from him!

"Boom..."

The two rotating turrets were fired almost at the same time, and they were fired armor-piercing howitzers!

A shell passed the Clippers, and then exploded about ten meters north of it, but one accurately hit the deck where the main mast is!

The mere Clippers, the wooden deck is estimated to be only ten centimeters thick, and the fifteen-pound armor-piercing grenade was easily drilled into it. As soon as it passed through the deck, the spring-loaded striker hit the lead-in at the front of the bullet body.

It was a shocking explosion.

A shell exploded a big hole in the Clippers and affected the blebs of the boats on both sides. In addition, they were desperately preparing to go against the wind, and the torque and damage to the hull, the ship broke into two pieces soon!<

/p>

Saiyin ignored them. There were many sharks off the coast of the Mosquito Coast. Those injured by wood chips, debris, shrapnel on the boat. The blood flowed out of the killed sailors will attract a large number of sharks. If they are lucky, swim to the beach immediately.

Let's do it.

Saiyin entered the San Juan River.

The sound of artillery fire in the offshore obviously alarmed the Spaniards in the city of San Juan. When the Saiyin quickly arrived at the port, he saw that there were still three armed merchant ships there, but the shore was obviously made of many shore guns, with his armor,

It is difficult to withstand their intensive bombardment.

So I just took a quick look and left.

The Spaniards were obviously still in a daze. They didn't know if this ship was their enemy, so they could only wait for news from the Clippers for the time being.

Then two wooden Batulu broke in, and the Saiyin continued to move upstream against the San Juan River - the Saiyin, which had a draft of only two meters, could sail directly to Lake Nicaragua.

Batulu is different. Although his draft depth reaches about four meters, he is the main warship of the empire, so he is naturally thick in skin and thick in flesh. The ship gang and the upper deck are all thirty centimeters thick!

After seeing these two large ships, the Spaniards no longer hesitated, and the shore cannons began to roar, and Batulu immediately returned to their colors.

The artillery battle began, and after about half an hour, it was the Truqin artillery technology, and its speed far exceeded that of the Spaniards and finally suppressed the shore artillery. At this time, the other two Batulus also arrived.

!

If it were the British in the past, both sides would use solid bullets to bombard the dense artillery on the shore. It would be obvious that it would not be a one-day effort. However, under the attack of a large number of howitzers descending from the sky, there was only a shore artillery covered by a low wall.

The gunner was killed and injured soon.

During this period, the three armed merchant ships did not get a chance to escape and were destroyed on the spot by Batulu.

The city of Northern San Juan is about one mile away from the river bank. There is no way. This is the confluence of the San Juan River and the Rio Indus River flowing from the north. Once the rainy season comes, the river will surge and the castle can only be built far away.

The high ground.

Next is commonplace.

A battalion of Marines began to land, and then under the cover of artillery fire, a dock position was built. Two hours later, a dock position made of low walls was built.

One mile away is still within the bombardment range of the naval guns. After several test shots, the naval guns also suppressed the artillery on the castle. Then the army in the dock position carried heavy mortars and began to advance towards the castle.
p>

Half a day later, the Truchen army had completely suppressed the artillery fire on the wall of the castle near the dock, and the firepower of the mortar began to extend into the city.

A company soldier rushed towards the city wall with a portable ladder!

At this moment, a white flag was lit on the city.

The battle came to an abrupt end.

After Yang Yuchun entered the city, he finally understood the truth.

There is a battalion of defenders here, but in fact there is only one platoon of real white people, and only they can control artillery. In the half-day Truqin artillery fire, these people were almost killed or injured, and the rest were converted to Christianity.

Mexican Indians!

They had to surrender.

This is also a considerable wealth for the remaining Indians. Compared with the Indians in the primitive jungle, these Indians have learned discipline and obedience, and are also good at farming. They will naturally be slaves in the governor of Cuba.

Luminous and heated in the jurisdiction.

Northern San Juan is just a small town with a radius of one mile. Yang Ji and Yang Yuchun left behind a battalion of troops here.

Then thirty inland flatbeds were unloaded from the fleet, and Hoshitaro took a new army with a regiment to advance towards Lake Nicaragua against the San Juan River.

"Shentaro"

Yang Yuchun is his immediate boss and made a sincere warning before leaving.

"According to information, the nearest naval base of the Spaniards is Veracruz on the north coast of Mexico and Barranquilla on the north coast of Colombia. It is far from here than Cuba. If they come with all their might, they will not

Faster than our jurisdiction”

"As for the Pacific coast, the closest one to San Juan City in South is the Port of Alpurco in Mexico to the north, and Panama to the south, which is quite far away. You need to take down San Juan City in South as soon as possible. In that case, the Spanish will

Only through the vast tropical rainforest”

"If that happens, it will not be possible without a month, and our country can provide support from Cuba at any time"

"But don't be careless, you need to occupy the city of San Juan as soon as possible!"
