Reborn as King of South America

Chapter 15: Valley Ambush Completed

The group of officers that Wu Feipeng had his eyes on were the high-ranking Peruvian officers headed by Passat. Wagt, who had just gone out to organize the defense, had been killed by a sniper. Now there were only more than 50 people left around Passat.

When Wu Feipeng was about to surround the group of officers, another Chinese troop rushed over, led by the commander of the 1st Mixed Brigade, Wang Dashan.

"Brigade Commander Wang, I was the one who discovered these big fish. It would be unkind of you to come and take advantage of them." After his soldiers surrounded the Passat group, Wu Feipeng walked up to Wang Dashan and said.

"Captain Wu, what are you talking about? My people have also discovered them. Why should I let you take the lead?"

"Well, Brigade Commander Wang, let's all rely on our own abilities. Whoever's soldiers kill the Peruvian officer will get the credit."

"Okay, it's a deal." Wang Dashan and Wu Feipeng had just divided the credit and were about to attack, but the Peruvian army sent out an officer holding a white flag.

"Please inform your army's highest commander that General Passat wants to negotiate with your army." said a Peruvian officer who understands Chinese.

"The defeated general still wants to see the prince. Tell you, general, if you don't surrender in three minutes, I will lead my troops to kill you all."

Wu Feipeng said ferociously.

The Peruvian officer was frightened by Wu Feipeng and took a step back, then turned away in panic.

"What a damn bad luck! It's the end of the world, but these wimps are surrendering. I haven't had enough killing yet."

"Captain Wu, we have plenty of time to kill the enemy. Our mission now is to end the battle as quickly as possible."

Wang Dashan said with a smile.

Perhaps frightened by Wu Feipeng's words, in less than two minutes, the remaining Peruvian officers laid down their weapons and surrendered.

As time went on, the Peruvian soldiers in the encirclement were slowly eliminated or captured, leaving only two or three enemy units still resisting.

"Commander Wang, you can just command from behind. There's no need to take risks in the front."

"I am not an officer now. I am just an ordinary soldier in the reconnaissance battalion. Captain, you don't have to worry about me."

Wang Xiaoshan said to the former deputy company commander of the reconnaissance company and now the commander of the reconnaissance battalion.

In the large-scale military expansion some time ago, the reconnaissance company was expanded into a reconnaissance battalion, and the number of people reached more than 600. However, due to poor reconnaissance of Dukaya, Wang Xiaoshan was demoted to a small private.

"Sir, please don't laugh at me. You are the commander of the reconnaissance battalion. Everyone knows that the prince thinks highly of you. It won't be long before you are reinstated."

"Changqing, you don't need to comfort me. I know the prince's temper. I was too careless last time. The prince will not let me return to the reconnaissance camp."

Wang Xiaoshan shook his head.

"Sir" Feng Changqing wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Wang Xiaoshan.

"Changqing, if you really want to do this for my own good, then let me prove myself on the battlefield. Maybe then the prince will give me another chance."

"Yes, sir," Feng Changqing responded, no longer persuading Wang Xiaoshan, and concentrating on dealing with the Peruvians in the encirclement.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the Peruvians in the valley were either dead or surrendered, leaving only more than a thousand Peruvian cavalrymen who were surrounded in front and still holding on.

"Fei Peng, call the leader of the Peruvians."

"Yes," Wu Feipeng replied, and waved to the soldiers of the big knife team behind him. The Passat, which was originally dressed in bright clothes, was brought in front of Li Mingyuan.

"Translate this to him. As long as he persuades the cavalry in front to surrender, I will guarantee your lives. If you dare to play tricks, you will all be buried alive." Li Mingyuan said sternly.

The Peruvian translator didn't dare to look at Li Mingyuan's cold eyes, and hurriedly translated the original words to Passat.

Passat muttered a few words to the Peruvian translator, who nervously relayed his words to Li Mingyuan, "The general advises you to release us quickly, otherwise you will be ruthlessly attacked by the Peruvian army."

"Haha, a dead duck is still stubborn. Feipeng, bury this old guy alive now." Li Mingyuan sneered.

"As you command, Prince." Wu Feipeng walked towards Passat with a sneer on his face. "Old thing, I've been displeased with you for a long time, and now you're finally in my hands." Wu Feipeng picked up Passat like a chicken and walked towards the valley.

When Passat saw that Li Mingyuan was going to do something serious, he panicked and started shouting.

"Sir, the general has agreed to your request. Please let the general go."

The Peruvian translator quickly translated Passat's words to Li Mingyuan. "Isn't this correct? It saves me a lot of time and effort. Feipeng, bring him back." Li Mingyuan turned around and said.

"Sir, these Peruvians are just servile people. They won't accept their fate until we take action."

Wu Feipeng, who was walking back, said disdainfully.

"Okay, Feipeng, you can take him to persuade him to surrender."

"Yes, sir," Wu Feipeng said as he carried the Passat and walked forward.

"Xiaoshan, you did a good job today." Li Mingyuan smiled and looked at Wang Xiaoshan behind him.

"I already know I was wrong. I just hope to kill more enemies to make up for my previous mistakes." Wang Xiaoshan said seriously.

"Well, it's not scary to make mistakes. The key is to truly recognize your mistakes and then correct them. The position of the head of the security regiment is vacant. You should go to the security regiment to be the head. Don't let me down again this time." Li Mingyuan preached, then changed the topic.

"I will definitely do my duty and will not let the prince down again."

After a period of reflection, Wang Xiaoshan's personality has become much more stable and he is no longer as impulsive as before.

With Passat's persuasion and the condition that their safety was guaranteed, the Peruvian cavalry quickly surrendered.

The surrender of the Peruvian cavalry meant the end of the valley counterattack. Except for more than 100 soldiers who escaped in the chaos, the rest of the 5,300 Peruvian soldiers were all surrounded and killed by the Chinese Independence Army.

In the valley ambush, the Chinese Independence Army mobilized a total of 53,000 soldiers and wiped out 5,172 Peruvian troops, including 1,072 killed and 4,100 captured.

The Chinese Independence Army suffered only 112 deaths and 263 injuries.

There is no doubt that the Chinese Independence Army won a great victory.

"Sir, this is a rough list of what has been seized. The exact number of items seized is still being tallied."

Liu Pu handed Li Mingyuan a list.

"Four thousand two hundred intact muskets, twelve Gatling machine guns, twenty-seven cannons, one thousand one hundred and thirty-four military horses, and seven hundred and fifty-six mules and horses." Li Mingyuan read out the contents of the seizure in a low voice.

"Prince, you promised to give me a military horse, you can't go back on your word." Chen Guozhu said loudly.

"Prince, you can't be partial. I, Old Li, also want a good horse." Li Sandou said.

"Sir, I have done a great deed today, so you should reward me with a military horse."

With the two veterans taking the lead, the officers below also started clamoring.

"Brothers, don't be anxious. After your military merits are verified, we will give you the military horses." Li Mingyuan assured loudly.

"Prince, this battle is not pleasant. Please give me a thousand men and I will go and destroy their lair." Wu Feipeng said with a look of lingering desire.

"Haha, Captain Wu, it's too late for you to say that. Zhao Yongzeng has already followed the orders of the prince and taken the captured Peruvian general, disguised as Peruvian soldiers and went to the deceptive city." Liu Pu said with a smile.

"The prince didn't even inform me in advance," Wu Feipeng scratched his head.

Everyone burst into laughter at his words.

"It's getting late, let's clean up the battlefield quickly and then we'll go pick up Zhao Yongzeng and the others."

Li Mingyuan said.

"Sir, what should we do with the seized weapons?"

"The captured muskets will be distributed to the brothers who have no guns first. As for the prisoners and other supplies, send 20,000 people to transport them back to Dulaya."

According to intelligence, there were only a thousand defenders left in Balanka. Even if Zhao Yongzeng's swindle of the city failed, he could easily capture Balanka with the 30,000 troops who went to support him.
