C1035 Ikek offensive (1/2)
In the final statistics of the Osara battle, the Luo Jun lost a total of more than five thousand people, and the number of disabled people neared five thousand. The loss of ten thousand members was unprecedented in the history of the war.
In the history of South America Continent, there had never been a single war that had caused so many casualties. In the distant ancient times, it was already unattainable, and during the Mayan and Inca civilizations, those warriors who could fight a battle with a thousand or so people was already recorded in a poem passed down through the generations. The victors were all legendary heroes.
In the Spanish colonial era, hundreds or even thousands of colonists with guns could rule a province or even a wider area of land. At that time, the intensity of the war would be around one thousand and eight hundred people.
The people here had never seen hundreds of thousands of people being strangled together, nor had they seen the massacre of hundreds of thousands of people in the city. In their eyes, war was even a bit romantic.
On the battlefield, both sides stood up in a frenzy, then lined up a few rows of guns to shoot a few crossbow bolts. Finally, the brave hero charged forward and used his overbearing attitude to intimidate the enemy, watching them flee or kneel on the ground and sing the song of conquest.
But today, these gods of death from hell had taught them a lesson. War had never been romantic, and it was also not a job one could muddle along with. If one stood by the side of death, one would not be able to imagine what kind of luck they were.
In a place of life and death, if you want to live, you might lose your life in the end.
The whole desert was littered with corpses, as well as pitiful people who were seriously injured and unable to run away. The more than 10,000 fleeing soldiers would eventually become a virus that released more than 10,000 of their fears, and they would spread the word that the Chinese could not fight, that the Chinese were all devils.
First was the Bolivia, then Brazil, the Peru, Colombia … In the end, the entire South America would be infected by this terrifying virus.
It was precisely this kind of effect that was needed. If these Heaven veterans and their descendants wanted to live a good life in the future, an appropriate atmosphere of fear was necessary.
Ten thousand soldiers directly lost their fighting force, and the remaining fifteen thousand soldiers would have difficulty entering the battlefield in the short term. Ten thousand directly lost their fighting force, and the remaining fifteen thousand soldiers would have difficulty entering the battlefield in the short term.
After the battle in the desert ended, both the Chile and the Chinese side called him the Oasis of Oaxa's Victory, while the elk and the Bolivia side angrily called it the Osara Massacre.
As for the locals, they had changed the name of the oasis to Blood Pool. For a very long time, no one dared to drink the water of Osaka Oasis.
A distance of 25 kilometers was equivalent to around an hour on the fast horses. For the soldiers who were travelling on foot, 2 and a half hours was enough for Weng Derong's vanguard unit to reach the Ikek.
The messenger riders and the five thousand elite soldiers left the oasis at almost the same time. Tie Toutuo looked at the time on his pocket watch.
”Old man!” When the cavalry would deliver the news of the victory to the Ikek, it would be an hour later. In other words, the main assault of the Ikek would begin at 8 o'clock … The brothers over at Tang Lei's side need help. The most powerful veterans are all at our side, they are too weak! ”
”Don't worry, General!” Give me two hours, and I'll be there at nine o'clock! Tonight, we will eat seafood and drink fine wine in Ikek City! ”
”Brothers, let's go …” With that, Weng Derong galloped towards the west, followed by the five thousand Taiping Army s.
Chen Yonglu watched the old man leave enviously, and turned around to shout at his subordinates, ”Hurry and heal the wounded, clean up the battlefield … ”If we hurry up, we'll be able to get some soup. If we're late, we won't be able to get anything to eat!”
At this time, the battle in Ikek City was at its most intense. In order to prepare for battle, the enemy and both sides had stored a large amount of ammunition, so the commanders of both sides did not need to consider the consumption of ammunition. The ground and the city had already been covered in flames and smoke from the explosion, and the sky had already turned gray.
