Rebirth of South America as King

The sky was clear, the breeze was swaying, and the city of La Paz, which had just been damaged by the war, restored a touch of calm. The south gate, which had been closed for more than ten days, also reopened. Pedestrians passing through the south gate continued to pass because of the number of people entering the city. Too many, with the assistance of more than a dozen locals, the Chinese officers guarding the gates lined up and went in and out of the gates to maintain the normal circulation of the gates.

After occupying the city of La Paz, the Chinese Independence Army only seized the property of high-ranking Bolivian military officers such as Balivian. They opened up for ordinary residents and did not deprive them of their food and food. Therefore, they spent a day outside the city in shock. After the residents got the news, they scrambled to rush back to the city, which had a great impact on the traffic at the city gate.

The Bolivians outside the city were lining up to enter the city. At this time, the soldiers guarding the gate suddenly stopped checking the crowd to enter the city, and a city gate unit composed of more than a dozen locals drove the crowd away under the command of a Chinese officer.

These Bolivian defenders were soldiers selected by the Chinese troops to perform well from their captives, and used their familiarity with La Paz to assist the Chinese troops to temporarily manage the security of La Paz.

Bolivian soldiers drove the crowd away, and then a group of Indians came out of the city. Most of them carried the seized muskets, and some of them carried primitive primitive knives and bows.

Seeing the troops in the city clearly, the corners of the Bolivians crowded on both sides of the gate flashed disdain.

"A group of uncivilized indigenous people, relying on the support of the Chinese, will die sooner or later."

"Shh, be careful, the Indians are gaining momentum and they're over when they hear them."

"What are you afraid of? I killed two Indians in the last two years, so I'm not afraid of them."

The Bolivian man spoke hard, but his voice was not consciously lowered.

The eyes full of hatred fell on the eyes of the Indian strong man in front of the team, and could not help but anger in his heart,

"Patriarch, these people don't know what to do. We let them go when we entered the city, but now they still hate us. The patriarch, let me teach them a lesson."

The Indian strong man angered.

"Benardi, don't be reckless," said the old Indian, looking at the strong man. "They are just a group of poor worms who can't be angry, don't care about their eyes. Now we have more important things to do, you go At the back urging the people to hurry and leave, the Keqiu tribe has already set out a little earlier than us, and we can no longer waste time. "

"Yes, patriarch, I'll go back later." Benardi promised, still uneasy in his heart, so he waved the knife in his hand at the dissatisfied Bolivian, scaring a group of people back, seeing the crowd In response, Bernardi took a sigh of anger, and later conveyed the order of the old patriarch.

A group of Indians outside the city gate were Aymaras. They were ordered by Li Mingyuan to raid the remaining Bolivian army in La Paz province, so they rushed out of the city.

Before the Aymara people left the city, Li Mingyuan led the 3,000 cavalry to leave the army pursuing Melgarejo, while Wang Dashan led the 7,000 infantry and then set off as a supporting force for the cavalry. Once the cavalry of Li Mingyuan's men could not be defeated Melgarejo's troops were led by Wang Dashan and Li Mingyuan to reconcile, and after a little repair, they launched an attack.

It has been three days since Melgarejo left. According to the captives in the city, Melgareho took away a mixed cavalry and infantry unit, of which 2,000 were cavalry and 3,000 were infantry, but Melgarejo was leaving Laba. In the past, most of the stallions in the city were ransacked, so that each of the three thousand infantry had two stallions. The marching speed was greatly increased.

The distance between La Paz and Sucre is about eight hundred miles. It takes six days for the cavalry to march at full speed, and the Melgarho unit with mixed horses takes about eight days. This means that before the Chinese troops arrived in Sucre, Adolfo Hold on for at least a day, or when Li Mingyuan leads his troops, he will have to face the enemy with a strong city defense.

Adolfo himself was also a veteran of the army, and it should not be a problem to hold Sucre for a day, but Sucre was after all a base camp run by Melgarejo for several years. In the event that Melgarejo attacked Sucre, the rest of the city Melgarejo's chances were chaotic, and the situation was critical.

Considering the importance of the Sucre battle, Li Mingyuan sent three messengers to relay the message to Sucre. On the one hand, he informed the Adolfo Chinese Independent Army that they would arrive in Sucre soon, and agreed that the two parties would jointly dispatch troops to deal with Melgarejo. On the one hand, he reminded him to be wary of the disabled Melgarejo supporters in the city and not to be attacked from the inside by the enemy.

After sending the messenger, Li Mingyuan led his troops and hurried to Sucre.

Five days later, when Melgarejo finally arrived outside Sucre, he heard bad news.

"President, the next morning after you left La Paz, all the enemy forces were on the offensive. I led the defenders in the city to resist, but they were outnumbered. After insisting for a long time, Dongcheng was first attacked by the enemy, and then the other generals who assisted in running away , Resulting in the collapse of the La Paz defense line, and his staff had to leave the remaining soldiers to report to the general. "

In the military camp outside Sucre City, Medellin dragged his injured right arm and informed Melgarejo of La Paz's loss.

"What? La Paz was smashed by the enemy in half a day, this is impossible!"

As the military chief of La Paz, Balivian was aware of the strictness of La Paz's fortifications. It was possible for the Chinese Independent Army to attack Krabas. Otherwise, he would not follow Melgarejo, but he was taken half a day. The Chinese Independence Army broke through and it was difficult to believe that even Balvean broke his head.

"Medellin, say, are you greedy for life and fear of death, and the enemy will run away as soon as the enemy attacks, otherwise how could La Paz fail so quickly!"

Although he was prepared for La Paz's failure, Palivian still couldn't put everything down in the city. You must know that most of Palivian's belongings were in La Paz. This time, following the elder brother's army, he had to bring some jewelry. Gold and other belongings could all be placed in the castle in the city, but after La Paz fell, all the things he had accumulated for many years were gone. The thought of the property in the castle falling into the hands of the Chinese troops, Balivian I couldn't help getting angry, and even Medellin, who loyally came to report, hated itchingly,

Ballivian looked at Medellin with red eyes. As long as he admitted that he had deserted the city and ran away, Ballivian would definitely kill him without hesitation.

"General Balivian, it is my responsibility to fail to stay in La Paz, but you can't wrong me to escape. You are an insult to a soldier. If you don't apologize for your words and actions, I will fight you."

Medellin is the descendant of French immigrants. Because he worshipped Emperor Napoleon from an early age, Medellin attaches great importance to the honor of the soldiers. He could not accept the insults of Palivian to him, and he was excited to say the fierce words of duel.

Although the duel in the west is full of knight romance, the ending is often bloody. The great Russian poet Pushkin died due to his opponent's sword in order to defend his dignity as a man. This happened in 1837. But for thirty-one years, the duel that Medellin said was not just a lip service. Once the two refused to give up, they could have irreparable consequences.

When Balivian reprimanded Medellin, Melgarejo did not exit to stop. La Paz's fallout had a huge impact on the situation in the entire country of Bolivia. In order to resist the offensive of the Chinese troops, he left most of the army in Raba. Even when he left with his troops, La Paz's army and youth also had fifteen thousand people. So many people were broken by the enemy without even defending it for a day. Suddenly I ca n’t believe it,

Balivian and Medellin confronted each other, and Melgarejo had to dissuade him: "I believe the character of General Medellin, he will not do anything to escape, Balivian, you should Apologize to General Medellin. "

"Brother ..." Palivian was unconvinced, but when he saw Melgarejo's cold look, he had to cover up what he wanted to say, and held back his apology to Medellin.

La Paz was lost in his own hands anyway, so Medellin couldn't hold his breath, and accepted Balivian's apology.

"Medellin, you said that the enemy broke through the East City, is that so?" Recalling what Medellin had just said, Melgarejo asked.

La Paz is surrounded by mountains. The enemy's attack direction is only North City, East City, and West City. As an important passageway to and from La Paz, North City should be the main direction of the enemy's attack. However, the Chinese troops did the opposite. Breakthrough point, this point makes Melgarejo confused.

"Yes, President, not only did the enemy break through from the East City, but the enemy seemed to know the distribution of La Paz's fortifications. Some of our artillery and defensive support points did not show up. The enemy ’s blow arrived. Therefore, from the beginning of the enemy ’s attack , Our army is at a disadvantage. "

After listening to Medellin, Melgareho didn't understand that it was a fool to have a traitor inside.

"It must have been the **** Adolph who betrayed me,"

Roared Melgarejo.

"President, what do you do now?" Medellin asked after Melgarejo's outbreak.

"How many more soldiers did you bring?"

"There were four hundred people when leaving the city ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ After the collapse of troops along the way, the number reached one thousand."

There were 15,000 La Paz garrisons, and only a thousand came back. Melgarejo was discouraged after hearing it.

Of course, it is impossible for all 14,000 people to be wiped out by the Chinese troops. In fact, after the breach of La Paz, only 7,000 Bolivians were captured and annihilated by the captives. The other 7,000 people fled under the leadership of the warlords without any peace. Melgarejo will reconcile.

La Paz fell, and Melgarejo faced a double-sided attack by Adolfo and the Chinese Independent Army. Melgarejo is now facing a more serious situation, and those warlords who are savvy can naturally see it. The reconciliation of El Garrejo is normal.

With 1,000 soldiers in Medellin and 5,000 men under Melgarejo, 6,000 men were enough to attack Sucre.

Eight days from the time of departure, Adolfo should have convened a lot of soldiers in Sucre. The longer the delay, the more bad it was to Melgarho. Therefore, without giving Medellin a rest, Melgarho ordered the troops. Divided into two teams, take turns attacking Sucre.
