Chapter 921: The Capture of Mexico City (1)

On October 21, the Ming army captured the largest citadel in the north, San Antonio, and after opening the way to continue south, they did not stay behind to garrison San Antonio, but continued south.

On October 23, the Ming army reached Monterrey, which was almost halfway from the border to Mexico City. The Ming army also did not occupy Monterrey, and still broke through to the south.

The Ming army attacked too quickly, and no castle could stop the Ming army from passing for an hour.

On October 26, when the Ming army reached Victoria City, which was only more than 800 miles away from Mexico City, Duke Tribwes, the Spanish governor of Mexico, who was in Mexico City, received the news of the Ming army's invasion.

Eight hundred miles, maybe in another three or four days, the Ming army can come to Mexico City.

-------------------------

As soon as the news of the invasion of the Ming army reached Mexico City, especially when the Ming army had already killed Victoria City, the whole of Mexico City was in chaos.

Both the Spanish immigrants and the Aztecs were terrified.

Doge's Palace.

"What! The Ming army has invaded, and it has reached Victoria! Duke Tribweis, the governor of Spain and Mexico, roared with wide eyes.

It's so appalling that it's like a joke made by God.

Didn't the Ming army move after conquering the thirteen North American states of Britain, and shouldn't the Ming Empire not be interested in them Mexico? Even if the Ming army wanted to invade his Mexico, who could tell him why the Ming army had been killing until Victoria City, and the news reached Mexico City.

What is the garrison on the border for, what are the many castles and checkpoints along the way for, could it be that the Ming army has never encountered any obstruction, and has marched all the way to kill?

The anger made Duke Trebweiss unable to believe it was true.

"Lord Governor, no!" A Spanish guard ran in with a panicked expression.

"Something was born again!" Duke Tribweiss was shocked, gritting his teeth and staring at the guard.

"Back to the Governor-General, the Marquis of Orlan, the Viceroy of France and Canada, led the French fleet to the coast, and they brought the news that Canada had captured Canada more than ten days ago, and the French army had been defeated! Now the Marquis of Orlan, with less than three thousand French soldiers and a fleet, fled to the Gulf of Mexico! The guard replied.

This news was like an earth-shattering shock, and once again Duke Tribwes's eyes widened in horror.

"This is ——-, impossible, when did the Ming army attack Canada, there should be news to me in Mexico soon, why is it that the Ming army is about to hit my Mexico City now, and the news that Canada was occupied by the Ming army has just arrived!" Duke Tribwes's hands trembled a little, it was so frightening.

Generally speaking, even if Canada is separated by thirteen states in North America, the Ming army can block the news by blocking the passage of the thirteen states, but the Ming army can block 6, but it is impossible to blockade it even by sea, even if the Ming army sends troops to Canada, before capturing Canada, the news should be transmitted to him first Mexico let him know first, but now it is after Canada was captured by the Ming army, and the Ming army also hit Victoria City, which is not far from Mexico City, and the news reached him.

Then there is only one possibility, that is, the Ming army conquered Canada too quickly, and at the same time as the news came from the sea, the Ming army had completely captured Canada, and quickly moved south and invaded Mexico.

Yes, didn't he receive the news when the Ming army also attacked Victoria City, so when the Ming army attacked Canada, it must have also attacked not far from Ottawa City, and the guy from Orlang also knew.

Terror!

"Could it be that the Ming army is really so powerful that it is unmatched?" Duke Tribweth muttered.

After a while, Duke Tribwes's expression immediately hardened again.

"Nope! No matter how strong the Ming army is, I will never let them capture it in Mexico! We are different from the British and the French, our Spanish Empire is the most powerful, they can't resist the Ming army, but our Spanish Empire will never let the Ming army capture Mexico! Duke Tribweiss roared.

The Mexican colony is also the most important colony of their Spanish Empire, and it is about their Spanish Empire's re-emergence as a world hegemon in the future, and once it is lost, it will greatly affect the comprehensive strength of their Spanish Empire, which cannot be tolerated!

Immediately, Duke Tribwes ordered all the soldiers of the Spanish colonial army around him to come to Mexico City, and ordered the arms of all the migrant estates around Mexico City to be recruited, and Duke Tribwes was to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army in Mexico City to protect Mexico!

There were only about 10,000 Spanish colonial soldiers in Mexico City, and if you gather all the colonial soldiers around Mexico City, there are about 30,000 people, and if you recruit the troops of the emigrant estates, you can hit more than 40,000 soldiers to defend Mexico City.

After another half a day, the Duke of Tribweth finally got the number of invading Ming troops, which was roughly around 30,000.

Although the number of invading Ming troops was smaller than he expected, he could only gather more than 40,000 imperial troops in Mexico City at most, and it did not seem easy to resist the Ming army of about 30,000.

What to do!

Duke Tribweiss thought about it and finally got his mind on the Aztecs.

The Aztec population around Mexico City adds up to nearly one million, and if it is organized, it should not be difficult to organize a force of tens of thousands of people, even if the Aztecs are not very high, but at least they can do some assistance to increase the chances of resistance in Mexico City.

To be the governor of a large area like Mexico, Duke Tribwes is a little impulsive and arrogant, but he has a certain mind after all.

The relationship between the Spaniards and the Aztecs was not very good, and it was unlikely that the Aztecs would be able to convince them to help resist the Ming army.

After thinking for a while, Duke Tribweis's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought of a way.

On the same day, Duke Tribwes sent a large number of Spanish soldiers to publicize the murder and bloodthirstiness of the Ming army to the Aztecs, explaining that everywhere the army passed, corpses were everywhere, and the thirteen states of North America and Canada had been slaughtered all over the field by the Ming army, and countless natives fell under the slaughter of the Ming army.

Duke Tribwes was telling the Aztecs that once the Ming army captured Mexico, they would be slaughtered and enslaved by the Ming army, forcing the Aztecs to unite with them in Spain against the Ming army.
