.Sixteen, first battle won (2)

For the flat and flat Mamali River Delta, Tenochtitlan City is equivalent to its southern gate. Once this portal is broken, the elves that rule here will no longer have any danger to defend. They can only retreat all the way to the beach and rely on the fleet's firepower to carry out the final resistance.

Therefore, taking advantage of the gap when the Inca coalition suspended operations during the rainy season for more than a month, the colonial authorities tried their best to rush. Under the repeated orders of Queen Akdina, they forced a army of 20,000 people, regardless of the thirty-one, and all of them were piled up to the city of Tenochtitlan, and there were 50,000 people. The colonial authorities, who were at a loss, tried to use this as capital to build a solid line of defense as soon as possible to block...at least delay the Inca coalition's rushing into the sea.

Although this idea is very good, the actual situation is extremely desperate.

First of all, among these new troops that have been pulled up, not only are few guys who have received military training, but elves and semi-elves account for a very small proportion. More than half of the troops are descendants of immigrants of various races relocated from the Feren continent (the local natives are too unreliable under the impact of this uprising frenzy, so try to avoid expropriation). Not to mention the problems of poor quality, poor language, and disorderly command, most of them do not have the slightest loyalty to this country. Although the indigenous people lived a hard life, they at least had some personal freedom.

These Feren: The people are basically descendants of prisoners of war, and are enslaved by the colonial authorities in mines, factories and plantations, living like pigs and dogs, and are even worse than those of the natives in life. At the moment of storm, why do they have to work hard for the elves who enslaved and exploited their own elf men all day long? After the Incas came, the worst outcome of these guys was to change their masters and continue to be slaves, and they must be better than they are now!

If the upper level of the Elf Army pays a little attention to propaganda and incitement, they can tell these rookies some horrifying facts in advance, such as the Inca coalition still maintaining the "fine tradition" of skinning and eating people and killing people to sacrifice their hearts, etc., it may make their morale rise a little... Of course, the possibility of scaring them to escape together seems to be greater...

In addition, the shocking disaster that happened in Cusco in a few months almost disintegrated the huge military machinery of the Elf Kingdom. The subsequent frenzy of elves caused the civil affairs system of many towns near the war zone to be completely paralyzed. The coastal areas in the rear tried every means to raise a large number of strong men and put them on the front line, and then patted them without caring about anything. As long as the conscription order was dealt with, everything would be fine. The officials of Tenochtitlan City had already escaped, and they had not even left a copy of documents, and also sold all the stock supplies.

As a result, all the horses of the side rushed into the city and finally drove into the city. They were shocked to find that all the supplies had to be kept by themselves, and there was no place to receive them. Even if there was a little supply occasionally, there was no specific distribution plan. Basically, it was first come first served, and I thought I was unlucky if I came too late. As a result, every coordinated distribution of supplies would become a full martial arts thriller... and the attitude above was somewhat careless - the rainy season would last at least two months! Anyway, everyone had already sent it, so you could deal with any troubles slowly...

So the young new troops had just arrived at Tenochtitlan City, and inexplicably cut off supplies. After being hungry for a few meals, they all returned to their old business. In order to save time in recruitment, a considerable number of strong men simply asked scammers and pickpockets to serial murderers directly from prison. The less courageous guy climbed over the wall and sneaked into the house. The more bold people simply killed and robbed people openly. It didn't seem like they wanted to stand up to defend the city. It was more similar to the invaders who broke through the city "indulged in military discipline" and "operated freely"...

Faced with the phenomenon of collective contempt for discipline, the military police were powerless - most of them were "voluntarily" enlisted in the army for only a few days. I'm afraid they didn't even memorize the military rules and regulations. They were also very problematic in terms of courage and responsibility. Basically, we can't expect these rookies to perform at an extraordinary level.

Although the above problems are quite annoying, the Elf Army has had hundreds of years of experience in training foreign local soldiers. Similar situations have not been encountered before, and there is no solution at all. The most fatal key problem is that there has never been a supreme leader in the city of Tenochtitlan from beginning to end!

Due to repeated disputes among the upper echelons of the Elf Army and the indecisiveness of the Elf Queen herself, the colonial authorities almost performed well in terms of recruitment work. However, they later moved to the base camp of the Elf Army of Tongbes Harbor, but failed to determine the highest commander of the front line. The result was extremely disordered in the command system - only 20,000 troops. However, they came from more than 30 different units of different territorial units. More than two dozen lieutenant colonels, colonels, major generals and lieutenant generals were in charge. Even Major General Gilbert, who had the most troops and the strongest combat power, had only more than 2,000 rookies, plus three or four hundred old foundations escaped from the battlefield.

In such a situation where no one obeys anyone and no one can control each other, any division of troops, setting up echelons, and coordinated arrangements are naturally empty talk. In addition, it is difficult to construct during the rainy season. In the past month, 20,000 troops have not done anything to do, and they even allocated food, clothing, ammunition, houses and scarce supplies. As well as some past grudges and provocative quarrels, they have exploded in the army many times. The number of casualties and injuries is over 1,000. They almost collapsed without fighting... They waited until the frontier war zone was tossed into such a mess. Queen Akdina flattered and slapped her breasts from her close ministers.

He woke up slightly and negotiated with the Chevrolet Church before he negotiated with Gilbert. He finally sent a long-delayed commission to Gilbert.

However, just as Major General Gilbert finally waited for the exquisite official letter written by Her Majesty the Queen and was appointed as the commander of the Tenochtitlan City Security City. At the same time, the enemy launched a full-scale attack at this critical moment and defeated all resistance in an instant. More than 20,000 elves on the entire battlefield collapsed like a paper-based building.

So, the good news of promotion turned into Major General Gilbert's death talisman in the blink of an eye.

"General, let's go quickly, brothers really can't hold on!"

"The cowards in front are really useless! They usually grab money, food, and women, but they are majestic. As soon as they go into battle, they become impotence and cannons and ammunition are all sent to the barbarians! General, if you don't leave, the enemy will set up artillery in front of the Palace Square and directly bombard the flowering artillery shells!"

"Just just now, a group of enemies climbed over the wall and touched the palace. The brothers fought to die for more than a dozen times before they drove them back to the streets outside. Many of them were actually trampled to death by deserters!"

"General ordered the retreat! There is no more battle!"

Facing the guards' eager eyes, Major General Gilbert smiled bitterly, picked up the fallen commission from the mud, slapped the mud and sand on it, and then solemnly stuffed it into his top pocket.

"Let's go? How to go?" He brushed from his waist: pulling out a thin thorn sword, his face full of perseverance. "I am already the commander of the city. If the defense zone falls, I will be sentenced to death by the military court! Even my family will be exiled to the border to serve hard labor! Moreover, it is now when Her Majesty the Queen and the Chevrolets Church started negotiations, but she fought such a big defeat, and she also ruined half of the front line's troops. She was very cruel and slapped her in the face. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to be forgiven. Even if you save your life and slip back, what's the use?"

Don’t belittle yourself, your use is great! Our lives are all on you! After hearing the superior’s generous speech, the guards verbally said yes, but they were very dissatisfied in their hearts. If you escape back alive, at most you will go to the gallows yourself; but if you die in the battle, the entire guard will be buried with you!

According to the Lingjun Regulations, all those who are killed in battle and the personal guards fled without authorization will be killed!

It is precisely because of this harsh military law that they have the patience to persevere until now, rather than scattering like other rookies when they hear the sound of guns and cannons.

"... Since there is no way back, now is the time for us to serve our country and be loyal to Her Majesty the Queen!"

The young pure-bred elf major general roared and vented, then gasped and issued the final order, "I order you in the name of the commander of the city defense security guards to immediately gather all the troops that can still be captured, and then rely on the buildings of the palace to build fortifications on the spot and carry out desperate resistance. All personnel must fight until the last drop of blood is shed!"

The last drop of blood is shed? You guy is having a brain problem! I have been following you for less than a month, and I haven't even paid a dime of military pay, and I haven't gotten a tiny bit of gray income! Why should I accompany you, a lunatic?

Major General Gilbert, who was immersed in his fantasy and felt excited, did not notice at all. Not only did his guards not see any touching intentions, but they were all staring at him with an idiot-like look.

In the series of disasters in Cusco City, the old soldiers under Major General Gilbert who had been following him for many years had already been killed or injured. Now all of the people around him were temporarily recruited during this rainy season. Gilbert might not even be able to call their names, and as for asking these guys to live and die together with him, there was even more no way.

So, just when Major General Gilbert was excited and passionate, and thought he was quite heroic, a soldier closest to him quietly swung the stock and secretly smashed the Major General's head from behind. Gilbert was immediately smashed and shook his whole body, then looked back at them with an incredible look, and then fainted softly.

Seeing that the commander was beautifully knocked over by a stick, everyone quickly raised him from the ground and tied him to the horse's back with a rope. A group of people rushed forward and left. Before leaving, they did not forget to sweep the small amount of treasures left in the ancient palace of the Aztec Empire.

At noon on the 7th of the month, the Xiangrui forcibly arrived at the city of Tenochtitlan in heavy rain and floods, and immediately organized a tentative landing. Unexpectedly, the defenders fled before the battle. Three hundred Inca warriors successfully controlled the port, and the subsequent troops followed up. By the evening, the 20,000 elves stationed in the city had completely collapsed. Major General Gilbert, the commander who had just taken office for less than a day, was also held hostage by his personal soldiers. The Inca coalition forces successfully occupied this front-line important town that was highly anticipated by the elf queen.

After this battle, the Elf Army lost nearly half of its troops in the Delta War Zone in an instant, and the morale of the remaining troops plummeted and they fled continuously.

The riots behind were even more turbulent, and the beacons were everywhere. Not only did they not have the ability to launch a counterattack on Tenochtitlan City, but they were already unable to defend the remaining territory.

Faced with such a situation, the Elf Queen was not allowed to further reduce her troops and gathered the entire army in Tongbes Port to defend and wait for assistance. At the same time, despite the navy's opposition, she forcibly dispatched a large number of sailors to come ashore to assist in defense, and acted as if she was fighting against the water.
