Rebirth of South America as King

Thanks to the lazy reader for your support.

The command of Melgarejo was good, but his luck was not good. When he defended La Paz, the city was tightly defended and the troops were strong. The Chinese Independent Army did not dare to attack aggressively.

However, the favorable situation did not last for several days and the news of the Adolph coup came. As a last resort, Melgarejo's troops returned to Sucre, while La Paz was seized by the Chinese Independent Army.

After attacking Sucre for a long time, Melgarejo's troops ushered in a good opportunity to break the city. More than two hundred rebels in the main gate launched an attack on the keeper, and the rebels were less than ten meters away from the gate. If the team outside the city finds out the situation of the city gate and sends more troops to attack, it is likely to break the city gate in one fell swoop.

However, the situation changed here. Melgarejo, who did not sleep overnight and rushed to the battlefield to direct the battle. When the insurgents in the city launched the rebellion, the eight-day continuous raid and the shock caused by La Paz's failure led to the recurrence of old injuries. , Can not personally direct the siege war.

As a result, Melgarejo temporarily gave command of the army to his younger brother, Balivian, and went back to rest for a while.

Ballivian has participated in the fight against the Native Americans, but in the face of large-scale wars, he has not reacted quickly enough.

A part of the garrison on the wall launched a rebellion to evacuate the zone, causing a weak joint in the wall defense.

The siege officer discovered the situation and, on the one hand, directed the soldiers to attack the weak defense area, and at the same time passed the news to Ballivian.

Weak areas in the defensive positions of the defenders were either deliberately made by the enemy or there was an unexpected situation in the city, which caused insufficient defense forces.

The battle lasted for a long time, and there were no small casualties on both sides. It was undoubtedly a death-seeking behavior to deliberately let the opponents out of the wall position to enter the city. Ballivean ruled out this possibility from the beginning.

Therefore, there is only one possibility that an emergency situation has occurred in the city.

Sucre's defensive battle has entered a feverish phase, and the city wall positions have been breached by siege forces. Palivian judged that Sucre's other defensive areas were under excessive pressure. The defensive forces of the city wall deployed troops from other lines of defense to support loopholes. .

Ballivean's judgment was basically correct, but he did not think of the possibility of the insurgents in the city launching a rebellion by themselves. Therefore, in the face of the new weak point of defense on the wall, Ballivean sent soldiers to this reinforcement to try to break through. Sucre's line of defense.

Ballivean's decision was not wrong, but he only saw the direct factor of loopholes in the city's defense line, without considering the underlying reasons. As a result, Adolfo took the few remaining guard soldiers around him to personally supervise and resist. After the attack of the siege forces, the troops sent to the gates and the remaining defensive forces of the gates pinched back and forth, quickly annihilating the rebel soldiers.

The fighter jet was fleeting, and Ballyvian did not seize the opportunity of the defenders in the city to break through the gates, giving Sucre the defenders a chance to breathe. It was more difficult to conquer the gates next.

As the war continued, the roaring artillery covered the shouting and killing of the battlefield. The artillery shells and bullets were dumped on the opponent's position without money. The soldiers who died in the war were too late to be transported away, and were densely distributed in the positions below the city. The wounded soldiers , Simply bandaging the back-end rifle back into the battlefield.

The red sun was sinking westward. Melgarejo, holding a telescope, stood on a high ground outside the city and carefully observed the fighting.

The battle is a contest of wills. The quality of the siege forces is much higher than that of the defensive soldiers, and it shows excellent combat power in the initial attack.

However, no matter how powerful the army was, it could not survive long and high-intensity German operations. It arrived outside the city of Sucre and entered the battle without a break. It continued to fight for a day and still did not achieve a significant breakthrough, which not only affected the morale of the siege soldiers, but also Melgaret. Huo also felt a loss.

Putting down the telescope, Melgarejo issued an order: the offensive forces temporarily siege the city, and all the soldiers withdrew two miles to repair.

The order was passed to the frontline siege forces, and the officers in charge of the offensives were relieved and quickly ordered the soldiers to retreat, while the defenders did not attack the retreating soldiers.

The battle lasted all day. Not only the siege forces were weak, but the defensive soldiers were also exhausted. The two soldiers at the bottom struck each other based on the fact that they belonged to different camps. They were also white descendants. Hatred, the temporary truce is what both soldiers want to see. Therefore, the two front soldiers quickly disengaged, and soon there were no offensive soldiers under the city.

As night fell, barracks ignited two or more miles outside the city. Fortunately, seven or eight soldiers who were not injured were lying together and resting around the campfire.

The temperature difference between the day and night on the Bolivian Plateau varies greatly. The temperature began to drop shortly after the sun set. By 8 or 9 pm, the camp outside the city was a bit cool.

During the day, the fighting was fierce. Six thousand siege forces killed 830 people and injured 1,072. The total number of casualties reached 1,900, accounting for one-third of the total.

In ancient China, one-tenth of the casualties of soldiers might collapse. In the nineteenth century, with the formation of modern military forces, the degree of troop casualties has greatly increased. Some elite troops can still fight for more than half of the casualties.

While the siege forces suffered nearly a third of casualties and were close to the red line that collapsed, Melgarejo did not dare to risk the order to attack.

This unit is his most closely related unit. Since taking power, Melgarejo has invested a lot of resources in the construction of his troops. Good weapons and sufficient training have made the army of more than 5,000 people small, but In the face of the same enemy, the advantage is obvious. Because of this army's support, Melgareho dare to confront the Chinese Independent Army.

Of the 830 people killed in the war, 570 were remnants brought by Medellin. Less than 260 soldiers belonged to the Melgarho system, and more than 1,000 were injured. There are also more than half of the people who can fight the enemy.

If all the soldiers are organized, there will be a total of 4,600 combat-capable soldiers under Melgarejo.

When he retreated from the battlefield, Melgarejo planned to continue the attack after trimming for a while, but when he heard the news, he gave up the decision with pain.

When receiving the news of the fall of La Paz, Melgarejo sent soldiers to investigate the whereabouts of the Chinese Independent Army. Just now the soldiers heard that the Chinese Independent Army vanguard had advanced to a distance less than fifty miles from Sucre, while the enemy cavalry The troops were also only a hundred miles away.

What is the distance of a hundred miles? As long as the enemy is traveling at full speed, the two sides will meet head-on in less than half a day.

The Chinese Independent Army is marching faster than Melgarejo expected. Www.wuxiahere.com ~ It is very dangerous to continue the attack at this time.

The longer he stays high, the less he dares to take risks. Melgarejo now has the same mentality.

After sitting on the President of Bolivia for three years, he not only provided a large amount of excellent equipment for his army, but also accumulated a lot of money for himself. The fall of La Paz and Sucre caused most of the property of Melgarho, but it was deposited in Peru. And the money in other countries is still enough for him to flee for several lifetimes.

Wake up the power of the world, drunk lying on the knees of beautiful women. Losing control of a country is of course heartbreaking, but it is still a relatively good choice to hold a generous amount of property compared to being defeated and being sent to a gallows.

The attack on Sucre was unsuccessful, the Chinese Independence Army was about to arrive, and Melgarejo had a slim chance of making a comeback.

After all, it is a large warlord and political giant who has been in the Bolivian military and political circles for more than 20 years. Melgarejo quickly recognized his situation. Adolfo and the Chinese Independent Army joined forces to defeat him.

Knowing that stubborn resistance will only make his death worse, Melgarho made a practical decision: make peace with Adolph and the Chinese Independent Army.
