Chapter 939: Sweeping South America (1)

With the end of the pursuit, the Panama decisive battle ended with the complete victory of the Ming army, the Anglo-Spanish-Dutch, French and Portuguese alliance army of 364,000 troops was strongly defeated by the 40,000 Ming army, more than ninety percent of the soldiers were killed and captured, and the Panama colony was completely occupied by the Ming army. Nature.2

And the South American side, because of the defeat of this Armageddon, was no longer able to resist the Ming army.

"The army rested in Panama City for two days to deal with the prisoners, and after two days, the army continued south to South America!" Yan Yingyuan ordered.

The Ming army traveled thousands of miles south from Mexico City, and had just won the Battle of Panama, the soldiers were quite tired, and they had captured so many soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance, and they also needed time to settle down, so it was the wisest choice to rest for two days before continuing south to South America.

While the Ming army was resting in Panama City, on the border between Colombia and the Panamanian colonies, the commander of the Spanish army, Marquis Jarretolaica, led more than a hundred ragged Spanish soldiers out of a dry ravine and riverbed.

"Lord Marquis, we have arrived, our feet are the colony of Colombia, and we have escaped the pursuit of the Ming army!" One of the Spanish soldiers said excitedly to the Marquis of Arretoleca.

"Yes, God bless us!" The Marquis of Yaretoleka was also very excited, after all, at least at this moment he did not die at the hands of the Ming army, nor was he in the prisoner camp of the Ming army.

In fact, the reason why the Marquis of Yaretoleca, the commander of the Spanish army, was able to finally escape the pursuit of the Ming army, was indeed due to their Spanish rule of Panama for more than 150 years, and the Spanish were very familiar with the terrain of Panama, and they also drew a very detailed map.

After returning to Colombia, the first thing the Marquis de Yaretoleka had to do was to deal with the continued southward offensive of the Ming army.

To the north of Colombia is Panama, and the first stop from Panama to South America is also Colombia, and the Spanish commander never thinks that after the Ming army captures Panama, it will stop attacking, and he is sure that the Ming army will continue to attack South America.

However, the so-called response of the Marquis of Yarettolyka was simply powerless.

Because all the soldiers that Colombia can draw have been drawn to Panama to fight the Ming army, not only Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and other colonies.

Not to mention that the colony can no longer draw soldiers, even if it can be drawn, how many can there be, the battle of Panama, the huge five-nation alliance corps of 364,000 people was defeated, what else can he use to resist the Ming army.

The commander of the Spanish army, the Marquis de Arrettolyca, was desperate.

Just as the Marquis de Yaretoleka thought, he had only been back in Colombia for two days before the Ming army continued south from Panama City to attack Colombia.

The Ming army left more than 10,000 soldiers in Panama City, and at the same time guarded the prisoners of various countries, and the Ming army that went south to Colombia was only more than 23,000 people.

The number of the Ming army does not sound like a lot, but the Ming army in the Panama War was only 40,000 people, and the more than 20,000 Ming troops were also devastating for Colombia, which had no troops to resist.

"Kill!" Iron horses galloped, and the Ming army went straight to the city of Bogotá, where the Spanish Empire's viceroyalty was located in Colombia.

The Ming army was like a bamboo, and along the way, whether it was a Spanish domination castle or a Spanish immigration estate, all of them were broken by the Ming army, and the Ming army entered the city of Bogotá at a very fast pace.

"Ming Army! These damn devils! The Marquis of Yaretoleka scolded angrily.

He scolded the Ming army as a devil, of course, the Ming army was indeed a devil to their colonists of the five European countries, but this was only because the Ming army was far stronger than the colonists of the five European countries. After all, compared with the weaker and smaller indigenous people of the Americas, the colonists of the five European countries are also devils for them, and for more than 100 years, there have been tens of millions of indigenous peoples in the Americas who have died at the hands of the five European countries, and the rule of the five European countries in the Americas has been piled up with the blood of the natives.

No matter how much the Marquis of Yaretoleka scolded, he could not change the result of the Ming army's advance into the city of Bogotá.

The Marquis of Yaretoleka did not have any confidence to resist the Ming army, let alone the courage to fight to the death for Colombia and the Ming army, and it was foreseeable that when the Ming army still had more than 100 miles to kill the city of Bogotá, the Marquis of Yaretoleka took all the Spaniards in the city of Bogotá and fled south.

Since he can't resist the Ming army, he naturally saves his life the most.

Half a day later, the Ming army occupied the city of Bogotá, the core of the Spanish and Colombian colonies, without bloodshed.

"Divide the troops into ten ways and quickly capture the whole of Colombia!" After capturing the city of Bogotá, Yan Yingyuan ordered more than 20,000 Ming troops to divide into ten routes, with the city of Bogotá as the core, and quickly swept through the whole of Colombia.

Colombia is a country of more than a million square kilometers, and has been ruled by the Spanish for more than 100 years.

Although the main force of the Spanish army has been basically wiped out in Panama City, there are still some Spanish forces in various parts of Colombia, such as some manor armies, etc., and some indigenous people who have been bewitched by the Spaniards, etc., they are not willing to let the Ming army rule like this.

In the face of resistance, the Ming army never relented, whether it was the Spanish immigrants or the bewitched indigenous forces, they were all strongly defeated by the Ming army that was killed.

Although the maximum number of Ming troops on each route was more than 2,000 people, the strength of more than 2,000 Ming troops was not something that a mere Spanish immigrants and backward indigenous forces could resist.

In just six days, the Ming army completely swept through Colombia, clearing all remaining ruling power of the Spaniards. As for the Colombian natives, after being defeated and killed twice by the Ming army, plus knowing that the Ming army had also driven away the Spaniards whom they had always feared, and knowing that the Ming army was completely more powerful than the Spaniards, their fear of the Spaniards was suddenly transferred to the Ming army, and they did not dare to put up any resistance to the Ming army.

After the capture of Colombia, because of the need to leave troops to garrison, Colombia's territory of millions of square kilometers, even if the Ming army left a small number of troops in each place, but after the entire Colombia was occupied, the Ming army that could still be used was less than 4,000 people.

With such a small number of people, it is obviously impossible to continue southward and attack the rest of South America.

"It seems that we can only continue the offensive after the next time the imperial court supplies the troops." Yan Yingyuan muttered, and at the same time reported the recent battle situation to Nanjing City by radio, and asked the imperial court to send soldiers to the American University as much as possible.
