1850 American Gold Tycoon.

The fierce offensive launched by the US military on the western front caught Mexico off guard.

After losing the two fulcrums of Tepic and Puerto Vallar, Guadalajara has become an isolated city.

Perhaps Guadalajara is not an isolated city, after all Colima has not yet fallen.

However, considering that the Mexican army in Colima has been ambiguous since the start of the war, although Colima has not fallen, it is no different from falling.

After the U.S. military launched its offensive on the western front, U.S. warships continued to appear in the Pacific ports in southern Mexico, which also seemed to reveal a signal.

That is, the US military is likely to land from southern Mexico, cut off the connection between the southern states of Mexico and the north, and even directly attack Mexico City.

If there were enough troops and tens of thousands of elite soldiers in hand, Liang Yao wanted to fight like this.

But the reality is that he only has four regiments and two battalions (including the Texas regiment), and the stretched strength cannot support him in a military adventure.

Sending warships to harass Mexico's ports on the Pacific coast is just a cover-up for him to distract Mexico's attention and disrupt their deployment.

The rapid collapse of the Mexican army on the Western Front disrupted the Santa Ana deployment.

"Under the strong attack of our western brigade, the defenders suffered heavy casualties, and the city of Guadalajara is already in jeopardy. If there is no reinforcements to help them out, the city of Guadalajara will soon fall." Liang Yao said without hesitation Said.

It's just that the Mexican army has an absolute superiority in military strength. Although the southern army has stepped up its offensive, it has not been able to break through the situation for a while.

After besieging the city of Guadalajara, although he had a 2.5 times advantage in troops, Liang Yao did not choose the way he attacked Tepic.

Liang Yao was always able to come up with some new tricks, and Fremont never thought that he could fight like this.

Now the Mexican army is no longer a matter of running naked in front of the U.S. military, but even the command may fall into the hands of the U.S. military.

Weapons, ammunition and munitions were continuously delivered to Jackson through the line of communication opened half a month ago.

In this communication station, Liang Yao could not only receive the telegrams sent by Santa Ana to the defenders faster than the defenders in Guadalajara, grasp the latest movements of the Mexican army, but also be able to intercept their telegrams, And disguised as Santa Ana to send orders to the defenders in Guadalajara.

"This communications station is better used than having two brigades."

In a communication station between Guadalajara and San Luis Toposi, Fremont couldn't help but scolded Liang Yaodao with a smile.

"This is called information warfare! This is a trend in future warfare. Who made the communication equipment and cipherbooks used by the Mexicans exactly the same as ours?"

Although the transportation capacity of the land transportation is very limited, the number of the Southern Army is not very large, there are only more than [-] people in the whole army.

Since you can't attack by force, you can only outsmart.

The soldiers of the western brigade were elite soldiers tempered through actual combat, and Liang Yao could not bear to use these elite soldiers as cannon fodder for attacking the city.

A telegram from Guadajaraja disturbed Santa Ana, who wondered whether he should deploy troops to support the thinly-strength Western Front.

"Fuck the gentleman, winning the battle is the kingly way, and it doesn't matter what method is used."

"Now President Santa Ana is asking the Mexican defenders in Guadalajara to abandon the city and return to Mexico City in a very urgent tone."

"The Northern Army joined the battle, and Santa Ana's main force on the Eastern Front was routed. Now it has retreated into Mexico City for the last fight." As he spoke, Liang Yao picked up the telegram he had just drafted and handed it to the dispatcher. .

Of course, he can also pretend to be the defender of Guadalajara and send a report to Santa Ana to confuse the main force of the Mexican Eastern Front on the Eastern Front and even change their deployment.

Without an absolute advantage in information, his offensive on the Western Front would never have been so smooth.

When winning, Santa Ana was able to maintain his sanity, but when losing, Santa Ana was indecisive, and his character weakness of foresight and foresight was soon exposed.

As a modern person from the 21st century, he is too aware of the importance of information stations.

With his hands behind his back, Fremont bent over to look at Liang Yao's telegram, like a parent checking their child's homework.

"You really dare to think about it." Fremont was speechless and asked at the same time.

Liang Yao was sitting at the table, drafting a telegram to the Mexican army in Guadalajara in the tone of Santa Ana, luring the Mexican army in the city to leave the city.

"From the perspective of the defenders in Guadalajara, what kind of battle situation are they facing now?" Fremont asked.

Therefore, Liang Yao set up a communication station in Guadalajara and San Luis Toposi, connecting Mexico's telegraph lines into the communication station.

Therefore, it is obvious that this batch of munitions has improved the combat effectiveness of the Southern Army.

The telegraph companies in Mexico are all American-funded telegraph companies, and even the communication equipment and cipherbooks they use are exactly the same as the telegraph companies in the United States.

"You are really wicked, I didn't expect that you can fight like this."

At this time, Jackson had already received military aid from California.

Fremont suddenly felt that he was a little behind the times, and that he couldn't keep up with the times.

"From Santa Ana's perspective, what's the situation in Guadalajara now?" Fremont continued to ask.

Liang Yao's victory on the western front seemed to give the southern army a reassurance, and the low morale of the southern army was wiped out.

"Information warfare? This term is fresh and appropriate. It's just that it's not a gentleman to win."

"Gentleman?" Liang Yao scoffed at this seemingly noble word.

The city of Guadalajara is a large city with a relatively complete defense and offensive. The population in the city is also enough for the defenders to organize a considerable number of militias, narrowing the gap in strength with Liang Yao.

At this time, if you insist on Guadalajara, you may be able to gnaw down this fortified city, but it is inevitable that the western brigade will lose a few front teeth.

Realizing that they would not be able to defeat the southern army in field battles even when their troops were superior, the Mo army no longer sought to take the initiative to attack, but retracted their troops back to the city, and made plans to defend to the end.

In fact, Liang Yao is now trying to send false news to both sides through this communication station, and then draw the Mexican defenders in Guadalajara out of the city, encircle and annihilate them.

After receiving military aid from California, the southern army, which was not troubled by the shortage of supplies, immediately stepped up its offensive against the Mexican army.

Once Guadalajara falls, Santa Ana will stagnate the US military on the western front, and the strategic assumption of concentrating the main force on the eastern front to defeat the main force of the US military on the eastern front will come to nothing.

"You're fishing at both ends." Fremont thought that Liang Yao's telegrams to both parties were too exaggerated.

"Will the Mexicans believe such outrageous intelligence?"

Whether it was the Mexican defenders in Guadalajara breaking through and retreating to Mexico City, or the main Mexican forces on the eastern front rushing to help Guadalajara, their strategy would have succeeded.

"Why don't you believe it, no matter how outrageous it is, can their previous record be outrageous?" Liang Yao stood up from his seat.

"No matter how outrageous the news, as long as it is repeated thousands of times, there will always be people willing to believe it. Besides, Mexico City is safer than Guadalajara. Do you think the defenders in the city will be moved?"
