Chapter 103 Chilean Army, that is also a dish for support)
The coffin is coming!
The rest depends on when you shed tears!
News of the arrival of the Chilean army spread like a whirlwind.
Perhaps during the long Araucanian War, the Mapuche stubbornly resisted the Spanish and Chileans for more than three hundred years.
Although the Mapuche people defended this land with their bravery, in fact, they will always continue to lose their land.
On the battlefield, they are brave, their horses, and their spears always make the enemy pay the price.
But in fact, they were always vulnerable to the Spanish and Chilean large-scale troops.
Muskets and artillery can always defeat spears.
Their robbery was nothing more than hit and run, taking advantage of the cavalry, that is, going to the vast Pampas grasslands to rob. On the Chilean side, the Chileans used organized troops, cannons, muskets and fortresses, which they had long ago learned
It makes them human beings.
Now, with the news that tens of thousands of Chilean troops are coming, these chiefs are naturally frightened. After all, the reason why they requested reinforcements in the first place was, to put it bluntly, because they were afraid of the Chilean army.
The seemingly fearless natural warriors seemed a little nervous, and the chiefs became even more frightened. The people who looked at each other all looked to the "Orchid Department" for help.
However, Zhu Xianhai ignored them at all. Instead, he stretched out his limbs, called the guards to guard outside his tent, and then entered the tent directly.
Before the battle, simulate it first.
…
[Whether to start simulation.]
"start!"
[You spend three experience points to start the simulation scene.]
The light screen flashes and the scene loads quickly.
The Chileans are coming!
The Chilean army is coming!
Facing the approaching tens of thousands of Chilean troops, the nineteen Mapuche chiefs made a wise choice.
"You are our king!"
"Master, you are our king from now on!"
"We will always be your most loyal servants, my masters!"
…
Faced with the Mapuche people's persuasion to move in, Zhu Xianhai, who was well prepared, certainly did not refuse. There was no need to be polite with this group of country bumpkins, and they didn't know what politeness meant.
Zhu Xianhai became the second king of Araucania and Patagonia without hesitation. As for the first king, he was deposed as a matter of course.
Afterwards, everything became simple. In the face of a powerful enemy, everything was kept simple, and there was no so-called "enthronement ceremony" for this group of country bumpkins. However, tens of thousands of Mapuche warriors knelt down to pay allegiance.
In the mountains shouting "Long live"... in fact, in the chaotic shouts of the Mapuche people, Zhu Xianhai only felt that his figure must be extremely majestic.
It's a pity... there is no full-time photographer!
Otherwise, I will definitely take a picture that will last forever - the picture of the king's enthronement.
After the king ascends the throne, he will naturally go to patrol the mountains...ah, it's the king himself who will conduct the expedition himself.
…
The rapid sound of military drums echoed on the plains. This scene was a bit strange, but also a bit familiar.
If you have watched old movies such as "The Battle of Waterloo", you will definitely feel familiar. You can see Chilean troops wearing blue military uniforms lined up in rows. The shouts of the officers echoed in the wilderness. More than a dozen guns
Bronze cannons were lined up between the columns.
Although this was the first battle that Zhu Xianhai led the army to participate in, his expression was extremely calm, completely ignoring the tens of thousands of Chilean legions surging over the mountains and plains. He pointed at the army and chuckled:
"Vulnerable!"
In the eyes of everyone, this is simply bragging!
But in front of him, there were only more than a thousand people, and these more than a thousand people lined up in a single queue. Such a queue was shockingly thin.
Facing such a queue, General Rodriguez was stunned for a moment, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
The Chilean soldiers who lined up with the drums stopped involuntarily and looked back at the officers. The officers also looked confused.
They have too few opponents!
What about those Mapuche people?
Uh... behind this thin line of defense.
In his life, General Rodriguez, who had fought against the Mapuche people many times, had seen all kinds of enemies, and those Mapuche people were all brave and unafraid of death.
But their courage only lies on their war horses, that is, when their numbers are superior, in this frontal battlefield, the Mapuche are often vulnerable.
He has never seen an opponent like today. There are only more than a thousand people, but they have such a grand formation. How dare they be so arrogant in the face of thousands of troops.
The most important thing is that they were carrying rifles and seemed to be preparing for an upright frontal battle with the Chilean army.
It's really weird.
The barbarians actually used muskets!
This was strange, and what was even stranger was that they lined up and just stood there waiting!
"The Indians actually started to use muskets and receive military training!"
General Rodriguez panicked for no reason. He inexplicably thought of the future scene - tens of thousands of Mapuche people who have received modern military training, standing in line on the battlefield like Europeans, fighting the Chilean army with guns and cannons.
.
"What a bunch of arrogant guys!"
Later, it was proved that he did have the capital to be arrogant.
But now, General Rodriguez has only one thought in his mind - to completely dispel these Indians' arrogant ideas.
Then he gave the order.
Following the order, the drums sounded, tens of thousands of Chilean troops began to move, and artillery boomed on the battlefield.
Facing the Chilean shelling, the "Mapuche" musketeers who were originally standing in formation moved forward a few steps, and then...disappeared.
They did not disappear, but entered the trench in front of them.
They stood in the trench half a man deep, with only half of their bodies exposed, letting the shells roar overhead. Amidst the rapid sound of the Chilean military drums, as the distance approached, and at a distance of a hundred meters, in the trench
The Mapuche suddenly opened fire.
In an instant, bullets flew over like raindrops, and the battlefield was filled with continuous gunfire like firecrackers.
The white smoke of gunpowder instantly filled the front of the trench with a blur, and the dense rain of bullets caused the Chileans to fall immediately.
Facing such a dense and accurate hail of bullets, the Chileans all became trembling.
The powerful firepower of the rifles stunned all the Chileans. General Rodriguez was stunned again and seemed to understand the reason why they rushed into the trenches.
Half an hour later.
Zhu Xianhai won a great victory without losing a single soldier and killed and wounded more than 6,000 Chilean troops.
The battlefield was covered with corpses, and Chileans were everywhere screaming and crying in pools of blood.
"withdraw!"
Just when General Rodriguez ordered a retreat, the Mapuche cavalry who had been waiting outside the battlefield dispatched!
