Chapter 102: The Chilean Army, That's Also a Weakness (Third Update, Please Subscribe, Please Support)

The coffin is here!

The rest depends on when you shed tears!

The news of the arrival of the Chilean army spread like a whirlwind.

Perhaps during the long Araucanian War, the Mapuche people stubbornly resisted the Spanish and Chileans for more than three hundred years.

Although the Mapuche people defended the land with their bravery, the fact is that they kept losing land.

They are brave on the battlefield, and their horses and spears always make the enemy pay the price.

But in fact, they were always vulnerable to the large-scale forces of the Spanish and Chileans.

Muskets and cannons will always defeat spears.

Their robbery was nothing more than hit and run, taking advantage of their cavalry, that is, they would just rob in the vast Pampas. On the Chilean side, the Chileans had already taught them how to behave with their organized army, cannons, muskets, and fortresses.

Now with the news that tens of thousands of Chilean troops are coming, these chiefs are naturally terrified. After all, the reason they asked for reinforcements in the first place was, to put it bluntly, because they were afraid of the Chilean army.

Those natural born warriors who seemed fearless seemed a little nervous, and the chiefs became even more panic-stricken. People looked at each other and turned to the "Orchid Tribe" for help.

However, Zhu Xianhai ignored them at all. Instead, he stretched out his limbs, called the guards to stand guard outside his tent, and then he went straight into the tent.

Before the big battle, let's simulate it first.

…

[Whether to start simulation.]

"start!"

[You spend three experience points to start the simulation scene.]

The light screen flashed and the scene loaded quickly.

The Chileans are coming!

The Chilean army is coming!

Faced with the aggressive Chilean army of tens of thousands, the nineteen Mapuche chiefs made a wise choice.

"You are our king!"

"Master, from now on you are our king!"

"We will always be your most loyal servants, my master!"

…

Faced with the Mapuche people's persuasion, Zhu Xianhai, who was well prepared, of course did not refuse. There was no need to be polite to this group of country bumpkins, and they didn't know what politeness was.

Zhu Xianhai naturally became the second king of Araucania and Patagonia. As for the first one, he was naturally deposed.

Afterwards, everything became simple. With a powerful enemy at hand, everything had to be kept simple. Moreover, these unsophisticated people did not have any so-called "enthronement ceremony". However, tens of thousands of Mapuche warriors knelt and swore allegiance.

Amid the roar of “Long Live”… in fact, the chaotic shouts of the Mapuche people, Zhu Xianhai only felt that his figure must be extremely tall and majestic.

What a pity...there is no professional photographer!

Otherwise, he would definitely take a picture that would last forever - the picture of the king ascending the throne.

After the king ascended the throne, he naturally had to go on a mountain inspection...ah, the king personally led the army.

…

The rapid sound of military drums echoed across the plains. The scene seemed a little strange, yet also a little familiar.

If you have seen old movies like "Battle of Waterloo", you will definitely feel familiar with it. You will see the Chilean army in blue uniforms lined up in rows, the officers' shouts echoing in the wilderness, and more than a dozen bronze cannons lined up between the ranks.

Although this was the first major war that Zhu Xianhai led his army to participate in, he looked extremely calm. He completely ignored the tens of thousands of Chilean troops surging across the mountains and plains. He pointed at the army and chuckled:

“Unbreakable!”

In everyone's opinion, this is just bragging!

But in front of him, there were only a mere one thousand people, and these one thousand people were lined up in a single row. Such a thin queue was appalling.

Faced with such a formation, General Rodriguez was stunned, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

The Chilean soldiers who were marching in formation to the drum beat stopped involuntarily and looked back at the officers, who also looked confused.

They have too few opponents!

What about the Mapuche people?

Uh...behind this thin line of defense.

In his life, General Rodriguez, who had fought against the Mapuche people many times, had seen all kinds of enemies, and those Mapuche people were all fearless and brave.

But their courage only shows up on horseback, when they have the advantage in numbers. In the frontal battlefield, the Mapuche people are often vulnerable.

He had never seen an opponent like today's. There were only more than a thousand people, but they were so arrogant as to form such a formation. How dare they be so arrogant in the face of thousands of troops?

The most important thing is that they were carrying rifles and seemed to be ready for a head-on battle with the Chilean army.

It's really weird.

The barbarians actually used muskets!

This was very strange, and what was even stranger was that they lined up and just stood there waiting!

"Indians have actually started using muskets and receiving military training!"

General Rodriguez felt a sudden panic in his heart as he inexplicably thought of a scene in the future - tens of thousands of Mapuche people who had received modern military training would line up on the battlefield like Europeans and fight the Chilean army with guns and artillery.

“What a bunch of arrogant guys!”

As it turned out, they did have the capital to be so arrogant.

But now, General Rodriguez had only one thought in his mind - to completely dispel the arrogant ideas of these Indians.

Then he gave the order.

With an order, military drums sounded, tens of thousands of Chilean troops began to move, and artillery roared on the battlefield.

Facing the Chilean artillery fire, the Mapuche musketeers who were originally standing in line moved forward a few steps, and then... disappeared.

Instead of disappearing, they entered the trenches in front of them.

They stood in a trench half a person deep, with only half of their bodies exposed, letting the shells whistle over their heads. Amid the rapid beating of Chilean military drums, as the distance approached, when they were only a hundred meters apart, the Mapuche people in the trench suddenly opened fire.

In an instant, bullets flew over like raindrops, and the battlefield was filled with continuous gunfire like firecrackers.

The white gunpowder smoke instantly filled the area in front of the trench, and the dense rain of bullets caused the Chileans to fall down immediately.

Faced with such dense and accurate hail of bullets, the Chileans all began to tremble in fear.

The powerful firepower of the repeating rifle stunned all the Chileans and made General Rodriguez stunned again, as if he understood why they rushed into the trenches.

Half an hour later.

Zhu Xianhai won a great victory without losing a single soldier, and killed and wounded more than 6,000 Chilean troops.

The battlefield was covered with corpses and Chileans screaming and crying in pools of blood.

"withdraw!"

Just as General Rodriguez ordered a retreat, the Mapuche cavalry who had been waiting outside the battlefield set out!
