Chapter 926: The Decisive Battle of Panama (1)

The Anglo-Spanish-French-Dutch-Portuguese alliance was urgently gathering troops towards Colombia, and in addition, more than four months ago, the Ming army had just captured the thirteen states in North America, and the countries were shaken and sent news to the European mainland. "Nature.2

When the news of the appearance of the army in the Americas and the rapid capture of Britain and North America had just reached Europe, it immediately caused a shock and panic in Europe.

Since the Battle of Malacca more than a decade ago, the Ming Empire has become a nightmare in the eyes of European countries.

For more than ten years, the European countries that sent the eight-nation combined fleet to the Ming Dynasty were all worried about the Ming Dynasty's retaliation, but after ten years, the Ming Dynasty has not moved, which once made them think that the Ming Dynasty would not retaliate against them.

But now, the Ming army suddenly appeared in the Americas 6, and as soon as it appeared, it quickly captured the 13 North American states of Britain, which instantly caused panic in European countries, especially the five major sea powers of Britain, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Portugal, which had colonies in the Americas.

The American Big 6 is not close to the European mainland, and it takes three or four months to contact each other back and forth, which is not easy, and no country dares to ignore the ambitions of the Ming Empire.

In order to be vigilant against the Ming Dynasty, and in order to protect their colonies from being annexed by the Ming Dynasty, the five countries all dispatched forces to the American Great 6 for support as soon as possible.

Taking Britain as an example, the Queen of England was furious, after all, the news that came back was that the Ming army had captured the thirteen North American states of her England, which meant that she England had lost the thirteen North American states, how could this be!

The Queen of England was eager to mobilize all the forces she could mobilize to send to the Americas to recapture the thirteen states of North America.

Therefore, if you want to say that the power of the five countries from the European mainland, Britain is the most powerful, and the Queen of England mobilized as many as 40,000 British ** troops to reinforce the Americas at one time, followed by a transport fleet composed of 30 British warships and hundreds of huge ocean-going ships.

In the other four countries, although not as many soldiers as the Queen of England sent, the least was 8,000 in the Netherlands, 30,000 in Spain, 20,000 in Portugal, and 15,000 in France.

It can be said that the five European countries have sent a total of nearly 100,000 additional troops to come, this is still in the case of knowing that the Ming army only captured the thirteen states of Britain and North America, if it is known that the Ming army also captured Canada and Mexico City, the five countries will send more troops to support, but this is already too late, Europe is far away, it will take more than three months to go back and forth, it is impossible to send additional forces again, if the five countries alliance army wants to counterattack the Ming army, it can only rely on the existing strength of the American 6 and the strength of the local support this time to counterattack the Ming army.

But this was enough, because by the time all the Five Nations Alliance Army was gathered, the number of the Five Nations Alliance Army was so large that none of the Five Nations had ever had a huge force in the history of the Five Nations alone, a full 364,000 Alliance Army.

Of course, the Spanish army and the Portuguese army were the most numerous, counting the support of the European mainland, the number of Spanish troops reached 130,000, and the number of Portuguese troops also reached 100,000, and the two countries together accounted for half of the coalition army.

The rest were 70,000 British, 35,000 French, and 29,000 Dutch.

"Together, the alliance forces of our five countries, such a powerful force, will definitely be able to defeat the army of the Ming Empire and completely drive the forces of the Ming Empire out of the American Great 6!" Duke Albrafa, the commander of the Portuguese army, said with a confident smile.

The commanders of the other four countries also nodded confidently, they firmly believed that even if the Ming army was indeed strong, it would definitely not be an opponent under the attack of so many soldiers of their five-nation alliance army, and it would inevitably be defeated in the end, until it finally withdrew from the American Great 6.

In fact, in addition to the 6th Army of 364,000 people, the Five-Nation Alliance Army also has a joint warship group composed of American fleets of various countries, with a total of about 200 warships.

It's just that even if the five-nation alliance has full confidence on the road, no one in the fleet dares to speak.

In the end, the Battle of Malacca more than ten years ago hurt the fleets of various countries too deeply, and the fleets of all countries are still afraid of the Ming fleet, only about 200 warships are in the Americas 6, they can't be sure how many warships the Ming sent to defend on the Pacific side of the Americas 6, in case the strength is stronger than their 200 warship group, then their 200 warships bypass, isn't it self-defeating.

Therefore, in order to avoid such uncertain factors and let the fleet of the five countries suffer heavy losses again, the five countries are unanimously silent in terms of sea power, and still plan to use the 6 forces as the main force and counterattack the Ming army through the 6 places, after all, if the Ming army on the 6 places is defeated, no matter how strong the Ming fleet is, it will only be able to withdraw from the American 6.

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

Britain, Spain, France, the Netherlands, and Portugal formed a five-nation alliance in South America, and the Ming army was not idle.

After quickly conquering the Mexican territory north of Mexico City, the Ming army regrouped to Mexico City with about 12,000 troops, except for a few troops left in various places.

At the same time, Daming's supply fleet finally arrived at the Americas 6 again.

This time, the supply fleet brought a total of 50,000 soldiers, 10,000 war horses, and a large number of weapons and ammunition.

"Hahahaha, marshal, with this batch of supplied soldiers, our army can easily capture the entire territory of Mexico, and even continue to move south and attack South America!" Feng Houdun laughed and said to Yan Yingyuan.

"Yes, what my army is limited to is only the problem of soldiers, and now the problem of soldiers has been solved for the time being, and the army can indeed continue to move south, this time, at least take the entire North American Big 6!" Yan Yingyuan nodded and said.

As Yan Yingyuan said, his limit is only in terms of soldiers, how many soldiers he can conquer how much territory, as for the European ** team, it is not Yan Yingyuan who is arrogant, he has not paid much attention to it from beginning to end, after all, the strength of the Ming army is too much stronger than the European ** team.

After many wars, if someone carefully analyzes, although it shows that the army has one-third of the European ** teams when it is the least, in fact, the Ming army has not been able to wield their real strength, because every European ** team collapses quickly as soon as they fight, and the Ming army has no time to wield their real combat strength.

Even in the first battle with the British, Spanish, and French Triple Alliance Army, because of the lack of cavalry, although the Triple Alliance Army was quickly defeated, but in the end, more than half of the Triple Alliance soldiers were able to escape, which once made European countries think that even if the Ming Army was strong, it was not strong enough to make people completely desperate.

The Ming army did not get a complete swing, so that the five countries thought that they had estimated the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, so they thought that with the alliance army of 364,000 people in hand, they would definitely be able to defeat the Ming army and drive the Ming army out of the American Great 6, they were too naïve!
