Chapter 785
In the canyon named Nangu Road by the Ming army, the New Spanish army led by Bernal was severely beaten.

When he led [-] remnant soldiers in defeat and approached Mexico from the official road in the west, he was attacked by the aborigines again, but the emaciated camels were bigger than horses. When they were in the army, they were naturally short, and the aboriginal army feared them as if they were wolves, tigers, and leopards.

The war-torn soldiers disbanded and returned home by the lake outside the city. Only then did they realize that Mexico City was no longer what it was when they left.

At the ferry, three planks were nailed to look like crosses, standing upside down by the roadside, and three aborigines were stripped naked and nailed to death on them. It is said that they participated in the rebellion, and the tall wild dogs licking the ground had long become Brown soil, with an uneasy growl in his throat.

Seeing someone passing by, they were scared away by the stones thrown by the soldiers with their tails between their legs.

The towering cathedral in the city was emitting green smoke, and the aborigines who revolted after the Ming army left occupied everything in the city.

They killed the half-breed children who were accused of being unclean, cut open slave owners and prisoners of war, and dedicated their hearts to the Feathered Serpent God. They wanted to give the gods the power to fight against the night, but war and smallpox made the aborigines even a decent priest. Can't find it.

They assembled all the Aztec nobles and tried to reorganize their army, but none of the pure-blooded Aztec nobles had undergone the systematic military studies they had done 50 years ago until 200 years ago.

They have no officials, no officers, no priests, no emperors, only one slave after another, and the saddest thing is that their hieroglyphs have been destroyed by the Spanish language, even if you search the oldest old man in all the villages, you can't understand Books from the past.

In the few days after the Ming army general Zeng Xishun led his troops away from their homeland, they frantically destroyed everything that the Spaniards imposed on them, like praying mantises trying to stop the wheel of time and pull the city back 50 years ago .

Back to the original state when the emperor was still there, but the harder he tried, the more confused he became.

They don't know where they came from, and they don't know where they're going.

The sad poems of avoiding the plague and guns passed down by word of mouth were sung in every corner of the city late at night.

"Are we really living in the world?
Don't live forever; just stay for a while.

Even jade was crushed, even gold was crushed, and even the feathers of Ketzar were torn to pieces.

Don't live forever; just stay for a while. "

When the Duke of Alba led [-] tiger and wolf troops from the Old World across the Great Lakes to Mexico City, the dream of the aborigines to rebuild the Aztecs really only stayed in the world for a short time.

The aborigines who rose up to resist lacked organization. They were drowned in the river and killed in the street. It took only two hours of chaos to be cleared by the Duke of Alva. One by one the leaders who rose up were killed and imprisoned. Those who tried to attack Zeng Xishun The Aboriginal fighters were once again shackled to restore their burnt cathedral.

In the Governor's Mansion next to the Armed Forces Square, the looted gold and silver ornaments were once again placed in their original places and even more crowded than before. Duke Alva, who was sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine, did not look back when he heard the sound of the door opening: "Report."

Bernal was chased by the Ming army cavalry for thirty miles, and he didn't even have time to wash his face along the way. As the general, he was covered with blood stains. Hearing that Duke Alva led the army to Mexico City, he wanted to go home and wash his face before seeing him again. , but did not expect that all his family members were expelled from the Governor's Mansion by Alva.

He swallowed, lowered his head and said: "The loss was heavy, the knights from the West Indies on the right wing fled and the whole army was defeated..."

Duke Alva turned his head, looked at the young general who had gained fame in the Peruvian War in the past ten years, and reprimanded him: "If you lose, you lose. You don't have to blame others."

"I didn't expect to meet you under such circumstances. I already know what you have done, and His Majesty the King will soon know that you will become a celebrity."

The old prince's cheek muscles drooped slightly due to aging, he said a conclusion lightly, and then proved his point of view with a lengthy argument.

"Twenty-four years ago, at the Battle of Marciano, the coalition forces used 24 troops to fight against the 5000 French and Siena coalition forces, and the French suffered [-] losses at the cost of [-] casualties."

"21 years ago, in the Battle of San Quentin, we used 1 people to fight against the French army's 200, and at the cost of [-] people, we got France's [-] losses."

"Twenty years ago, in Grafland, eighteen thousand fought against fourteen thousand. We lost three hundred and the enemy was almost wiped out. It was a wonderful battle before Earl Egmont was beheaded by me for treason. "

"Ten years ago, Jermingen and Jodogne, the two battles under my command, had fifteen thousand and twenty-one thousand five hundred men respectively, and I remember clearly that the enemies were Louis of Nassau and William the Silent , the rebels in the Netherlands increased from 500 to 1, and we defeated them at the cost of 3 and 20 respectively."

Looking back, the Duke of Alva has nostalgia on his face: "The era when Spain dominated the world came from the fact that our army was invincible, and no one dared to fight us... Sir Bernal, can you tell me what makes bravery invincible?" Spanish warriors becoming soft-legged shrimps of the New World?"

"According to reliable statistics, the Self-Ming army landed, and the campaign lasted throughout the spring. You, as the head of the legion, expelled the governor, mobilized three Mexican legions, urgently recruited 170 aborigines, and 23 mercenaries. The West Indies 3000 Five knights and [-] conquistadors totaled [-] men and went to war."

"Declaring war when it shouldn't be declaring war, defending when it shouldn't be defending, attacking when it shouldn't be attacking, killing almost all of the country's veterans in New Spain, and trying to get nine thousand soldiers here in Peru as well—you A general under Chen Mu?"

Bernal was so ashamed that he didn't want to live anymore.

What do you mean he is a general under Chen Mu?
He is clearly the only one who firmly resists the Ming army's invasion in the entire New World!

"Ming army...with the reinforcements of Your Excellency Alva, they will surely defeat the Ming army!"

"Yes, if you didn't declare war without authorization, we can drive the Ming army into the sea to feed the fish at this time, single now?"

Duke Alva stood up, watched Bernal shook his head slightly, and the old man raised his head slightly: "Not handing you over to Chen Mu to appease his anger is the last thing I can do for you. East coast to Havana, your boat is waiting for you there."

"I will learn everything about this war from other people who have personally experienced the war, and everything that follows will have nothing to do with you."
