Rebirth of South America as King

Chapter 95: The battle is ongoing

Adolfo dared to launch a coup, and naturally expected Melgarejo to take revenge. Therefore, during the eight days of successfully controlling Sucre, Adolfo continued to divide and disintegrate Melgare while increasing the defense of the city. Huo's generals in power.

Sucre is the legal capital of Bolivia. Melgarejo and his family members live in the city. After the successful coup, Adolph did not liquidate them, but instead protected them and used them and other Bolivian The warlord got in touch.

Adolfo's method worked well. After the news of Sucre's fall spread, most of the warlords who turned to Melgarejo were uneasy. They were worried that their family members would be harmed by the chaos in the city, and they were also afraid of standing wrong between Melgarejo and Adolfo, and being retaliated by the victory side afterwards.

Just when they didn't know how to make a decision, Adolph's messenger sent a message to appease them. As long as they did not help each other in this dispute, their status and the safety of their families could be guaranteed.

The conditions put forward by Adolfo are very reasonable, because Adolfo understands that Melgarejo has served as President of Bolivia for three years and has established preliminary authority in the country. Those generals who have benefited from Melgarejo Before the situation became clear, it was difficult to make up his mind to follow him against Melgarejo. Therefore, he reduced the conditions by half and stabilized the warlords who waited and watched the situation so that they would not help each other in the next Sucre battle.

The conditions proposed by Adolph and the ideas of the warlords who escaped from La Paz were at odds with each other. They had lost a lot of troops in the La Paz defensive battle, and then let them take out the remaining troops and Adolph. It wouldn't be worthwhile to fight desperately, and the arrival of the Adolph Courier could just provide a good excuse for them not to participate in this civil war.

Therefore, after ensuring their status and the safety of their families, the Bolivian warlords who fled to their respective homes have successively announced that the battle between Melgarejo and Adao was a private fight caused by political disagreements, in order to stabilize Bolivia At the same time, the situation did not allow the scale of the war to expand. They decided to remain neutral in the war until the two sides had a victory.

A group of local power warlords said for the sake of stability in Bolivia, but secretly used the domestic chaotic situation to privately expand their soldiers. As for sending troops to resist the Chinese Independent Army, no one did it.

The Chinese Independence Army clashes through Bolivia and Melgarejo. Although they now occupy La Paz, they will not stay in Bolivia for a long time and will leave. Therefore, the Bolivian warlord who had suffered a loss selectively ignored the existence of the Chinese Independent Army and focused his attention on the battle of Sucre.

Sucre, one of the two most important cities in Bolivia, has once again become the focal point of the gathering of forces.

Outside the city, a number of soldiers, under the supervision of various ministers, continuously launched attacks on the city.

The sound of gunfire, gunfire, and soldier shouts filled the smoke of the battle. Rows of rushing soldiers fell on the way forward. The soldiers behind stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to move forward. At the beginning of the battle, they entered a feverish phase .

The Chinese Independence Army broke through La Paz, and it will definitely send out a pursuit of Melgarejo after slowing down. Therefore, time has become the most crucial factor in determining this battle. Only before the Chinese troops arrived, Sucre and Melgare were defeated. Huo Cai had the capital to negotiate with the Chinese Independence Army, otherwise, a dog that was defeated by someone else would have to negotiate with others.

The intensity of the fighting exceeded Adolph's expectations. He did not expect Sucre to be captured, and the soldiers of Melgarejo were working so hard for him.

Adolph is more qualified in the army than Melgarejo, but after Bolivia's independence, the older military generals gradually withdrew from the front line of the army, and their understanding of the army remained at the previous stage. Therefore, Adolph was not Know the influence of Melgarejo in the army.

Melgarejo is a ruthless ruler, but he is also an excellent military commander. After he successfully seized power and ascended to the throne of the president, he did not relax his control of the army, but instead used himself as presidential power. Promoting his cronies to key positions, and increasing the military treatment of ordinary soldiers, made his troops, both officers and soldiers, loyal to Melgarejo.

Sucre's garrison is 5,400, of which 2,000 are newly recruited. Between 5,400 and 6,000, there is not much difference. In addition, as a defender, Adolph believes that Sucre can Resist the offensive of enemy forces outside the city.

However, after half a day of fighting, Sucre's defense line was in danger of swaying. More than 300 newly recruited soldiers could not stand the fierce fighting and withdrew from the defensive positions in advance, resulting in a high ground in front of the main gate. After Leihuo's troops occupied the main entrance highland, they used the terrain to continuously launch artillery bombardments against the wall defenders, suppressing the defenders' attack on the siege soldiers.

The impact of the fall of the main entrance on the high ground didn't stop there. Without the cover of the high ground, the main entrance directly attacked the siege forces.

Three-pound guns, six-pound guns, and nine-pound guns. Melgarejo divided the large and small artillery in the army into a large part of the main entrance, and one by one the shells continued to hit the tall city gates

"Bang-bang," accompanied by the roar of artillery shells, the iron-clad gates were punched with pits of various sizes.

The shock from the shells struck the nerves of the garrison behind the gate.

"Sir, there is a crack in the gate."

"Use the log top immediately."

"Hurry up, move faster,"

The gate defender shouted to his soldiers to strengthen the gate.

There were more and more cracks in the gate, and the busy soldiers behind the gate became more and more strenuous.

"Hurry up and report to the general, the enemy fire is fierce, and the gate position is in urgent need of reinforcements."

The gate defender grabbed a soldier and ordered loudly.

"Observe, sir"

The Bolivian soldier responded loudly, turned around and ran a few steps, and was suddenly hit by a cannonball passing through the gate.

The artillery shells penetrated the gate, and the newly strengthened city gate suddenly shook again. The defensive officer behind the city gate sent two soldiers to report again, and immediately engaged in the more intense task of strengthening the city gate.

The city walls and the gate defense line were shaken. Adolph sent the last reserve team to support the gate force, with only more than 130 guards remaining.

"Adolph, when will the Chinese troops arrive, and if they are not there tonight, Sucre will fall into the hands of Melgarejo!"

The situation of the defensive city deteriorated too quickly, and even Frias, who advised Adolph to launch a coup, became worried.

"I have received news from their messengers to reinforce our cavalry and set out ahead, and we expect to be able to arrive tonight."

Adolfo underestimated the strength of Melgarejo's troops. He did not expect to face a severe test on the first day of defending the city. However, the reinforcement rate of the Chinese troops was two days earlier than he expected. In time, Sucre was able to turn danger into peace.

Hearing that the Chinese reinforcements could reach Sucre at night, Frias relaxed his mind slightly, but before he was completely relieved, a worse news came.

"General, the third battalion of the Third Rebellion was rebelled by the commander of Adelaide. Now they have pulled down the city walls and are rushing towards the main entrance."

"What? Adlai has rebelled!" Adolph seized the officer in disbelief, inconsistent.

"Yes, General, Adlai just pretended to trust in us, but secretly intended to open the gates to invite Melgarejo."

The reporting officer is the deputy commander of the Third Regiment. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has some knowledge of Adelaide's situation, so after the Adelaide rebellion, he personally came to report the news.

"Asshole, I really regret not killing him!"

Adelaide was the first officer to come to him. Otherwise, Adolph would not have promoted him from company commander to battalion commander, and he gave the original troops to his command. Betraying himself at a critical moment, Adolph felt a sense of being treated as a fool by others, feeling angry and ashamed, and it was difficult to calm for a moment.

"The city gate is important. The key now is to send support to the city gate guard, otherwise the city gate will fall behind and everything will be over."

Although Frias was not a soldier, there was still some common sense. Hearing the rebels rushing towards the gate, he immediately spoke out.

"Jamepez, the guards will be led by you and immediately support the gate guards!" After Frias reminded, Adolfo immediately decided.

"Yes, general."

After taking the order, the report officer quickly led the soldiers away. ()
