Rebirth of South America as King

"Sir, fifty miles from Arequipa, do we want to speed up?"

A Peruvian officer told Moscendou garrison chief Roustuat on horseback.

"Manuel, you are too young to understand the story in this matter." Lustuart rode on the horse with a light and gentle look.

"Please enlighten me, sir." Manuel, leaning forward like a student, asked politely.

Lustuart just loved Manuel's obedience, which would allow him to regain the dignity he had lost in front of Thomas Gutierrez.

Lustuat was not a subordinate of Thomas. He was originally a subordinate of Mariano Ignacio Prado. Mariano Ignacio Prado was also a big warlord in Peru. In April 1865, he Relying on the coup, but after spending more than two months on the presidency, Mariano Ignacio Prado was pulled down by others.

In order to keep his position, Lustuart, who had no support, put Thomas under the guise of Mariano Ignacio Prado after he stepped down.

Thomas looks down on Lustuart, who is half-hearted, and often laughs at him in front of others, but Lustuart, who is attached to Thomas, can barely laugh at him, but hates Thomas in his heart.

"Manuel, do you know how we differ from the army in Iquitok?"

"I don't know how to work."

"Hehe, you know in your heart, but you dare not say it."

"Dare to be humble," Manuel thought Rustuart was dissatisfied with him and hurriedly stated.

不用 "Don't worry, I don't doubt you."

Lustuat helped him, and then said, "The biggest difference between us and Iquitoc is that Iquitoc's army is Thomas's unit, but we are a non-brand army. And although I am Mo According to the rule of Yandu ’s garrison, according to the agreed rules, Mo Yandu ’s port trade tax should be managed by me, but Thomas has sent a tax official. His name is that it is not good for military personnel to interfere in economic and trade. He pays his military expenses every month, which is nice to say. In fact, I'm not afraid that I have mastered the trade taxation and become bigger and bigger, out of his control. "

"Sir wise." Manuel slaps a proper fart appropriately.

"Manuel, I say these things to you as a heir to the army. Think about it in the future. Don't be sold and count for others. Now you understand why I postponed the rescue of Irequipa. Is there a reason? "Lustuart encouraged him, considering.

Hearing Lustuart's idea of ​​making him a successor to the army, Manuel's mood immediately became excited. He carefully understood the question just now, and said carefully, "The sir means to let them fight in front. , Wait until the two sides are about to fight, we will go up and pick up cheap? "

"It's true. If we arrive in Arequipa too early and fight with the rebels, no matter who wins or loses, our army will surely suffer heavy losses. Without the army in hand, Thomas would care about us, and he will certainly Find an excuse to drive us out of the army, and then distribute the remaining army to his men. "

"The sir is far-sighted, and there will be a day when he will fly yellow."

"Haha, hope this day will come soon." Lustuart laughed and followed the troops.

Due to the timely support of the Peruvian artillery, the town of Hermodut temporarily stabilized the crumbling position in the east, but the temporary security contained a crisis of destruction.

The Independence Army commanded the headquarters. When Li Mingyuan found the enemy's artillery positions, he immediately ordered the cavalry regiment to assault.

"Leader Li, the enemy's heavy artillery has a longer range than the artillery I seized, so you can only rely on your cavalry regiment to destroy the artillery positions."

"Saizi rest assured that the humble job will definitely complete the task."

"As soon as you attack, I will order the artillery to blast the enemy's position violently to provide you with cover."

"Humble work understands."

After solving the coordination problem, more than 900 cavalry of the cavalry regiment immediately dispatched and rushed to the battlefield like a whirlwind.

Peruvian artillery units are located in a large open area in the center of the town.

Repelling the offensive forces in the east, Umato ordered the artillery to suppress the Chinese artillery units. The artillery units of the two sides were too far apart. Even though the range of the artillery of the Peruvian army was greater than the range of the Chinese independent army, the specifics of the opposing artillery were not visible. In position, the Peruvian artillery fired only by feeling, and the two sides fired at each other, but rarely achieved results.

Emodot is on all sides, and the east is the main attack direction of the Chinese troops. Zhang Ansong and Luo Linshan are responsible for the west and south. Only the north has no troops. The north of the town is connected to a valley. Li Mingyuan is arranged around the valley. Ten thousand troops are under the command of Chief of Staff Liu Pu himself.

朴 Liu Pu, as a conscript-type talent around Li Mingyuan, is the first to lead a battle, but he is still very confident about the end of the combat mission.

The battlefield has not yet been divided, but as the Peruvian artillery troops are exposed ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ Liu Pu knows that the Peruvian army is not far off.

In order to enhance the strength of Liu Pu's troops, Li Mingyuan strengthened Wang Xiaoshan's police regiment and a regiment of Feng Erhu to him.

Feng Erhu was originally the platoon leader of the machine gun platoon. Later, with the expansion of the army, Li Mingyuan split the machine gun unit into various infantry regiments, while Feng Erhu was assigned to the infantry unit as the regiment leader.

Although Feng Erhu no longer brought machine gun soldiers, he still attached great importance to the use of machine gun tactics. When Feng Erhu served as the infantry regiment commander, he specifically asked Li Mingyuan for one more machine gun platoon, so that his regiment had two machine gun platoons and other The infantry commander looked hot.

After reaching the ambush site in the valley, Feng Erhu gathered the machine guns of other troops. There were four machine gun platoons in total. Two of the four machine gun platoons were arranged directly in the middle of the road in the valley. The other two machine gun platoons were arranged in the mounds on both sides of the valley. After the layout is completed, the three machine gun positions cross cover, leaving no dead ends.

二 Feng Erhu is going to use his expertise to show his mighty power, and Wang Xiaoshan also wants to prove himself through this battle.

When I first arrived at the ambush position, Wang Xiaoshan put down the words, "I was investigating a mistake last time, and was stunned by Shizi to the end. Now Shizi gives me a chance to redeem my guilt. When we will fight, everyone will eat milk They all gave me advice. If anyone can capture the Peruvian general, Lao Tzu personally asks the world for him. "

With such agitation by King Jing Xiaoshan, the morale of the soldiers of the guard group rose, waiting for the Peruvians to come and kill them.

"Chief of staff, why aren't Peruvians here yet?"

Feng Erhu said a little eagerly.

"Head Feng, you're almost there." Liu Pu said, pointing to the cavalry troops that were rushing outside the town of Hermodut.

大 Li Dawei led the cavalry regiment around, making a breakthrough from the west position in charge of Zhang Ansong.
