The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 211 The High-spirited Cannon Fodder
At the end of the fourth year of Sauron, in the north-central part of Mexico, on the battlefield where the gunpowder smoke had not cleared, Domingo, accompanied by several generals, rode military horses and patrolled the battlefield full of dead bodies.

I saw Domingo riding a tall horse, with his chin raised proudly, holding a whip in his hand and pointing slightly ahead, pretending to be pointing the country...

At this time, how can Domingo still have half a minute of the down-and-out situation before?
Domingo never thought that being a pioneer cannon fodder would be so cool!
After receiving Yuri's military expansion and relaxation of restrictions, Domingo, who entered Mexico cautiously, did not encounter any resistance. Instead, he gathered a large number of scattered mercenary groups and bounty hunters who came to join him!
There are even Indian tribal fighters who converted to Catholicism!

Of course, these people's refuge was not to overthrow the Spanish colonial rule, but just to make a living.

They all need military pay!

Naturally, it was impossible for Yuri to give Domingo a penny of military pay, but Domingo, who did not encounter any resistance, did not leave a way for the "folks" in Mexico to survive.

First, the plantation owners who surrendered were directly brought over for apportionment of military expenses, and then they sent troops to those villages that were not controlled by large plantation owners and were mainly formed by self-cultivating farmers.

Domingo put his identity as an invader rightly, and he was not at all prepared to win a good name for the American Empire.

And Yuri's reputation has long been notorious, so naturally he will not give Qiu Wuwu's order.

Since Yuri did not provide any logistical materials to the Vanguard Division, he naturally let Domingo solve it by himself.

There are nothing more than two ways for the army to solve the supply:
First, civilized robbery, commonly known as apportionment.

Second, savage robbery, do it yourself directly...

The Mexico region is a fertile land in the Viceroyalty of New Spain. A large amount of flat land with a dense population has been developed, and stretches of plantations continue to produce various crops.

So, as a pioneer, Domingo immediately became a rich man from a pauper!
Yuri in the rear obviously didn't expect that the apparently large number of defenders in the Mexican area would be so vulnerable. He was beaten by Domingo's more than 1 people, and no decent battle broke out at all. Batch after batch...

Just like Domingo's current battlefield, after the expansion of the army, more than 2 people from the Vanguard Division fought against more than 5 Spanish colonial troops on the opposite side. As a result, the battle started for half a day, and more than half of the 5 Spanish colonial troops ran away. The whole line was defeated with less than one casualty...

The weapons and equipment of the more than 5 Spanish colonial troops are also very touching. Although they have the cards of the colonial regular army, they are actually a mob assembled improvised, and nearly half of the soldiers do not even have a matchlock gun!
With an army of more than 5 people, there are no more than ten artillery pieces, and none of them are field artillery pieces, all of them are old-fashioned mortars...

The ridiculous thing is that after only two rounds of firing from these artillery pieces, one of the mortars exploded on the spot, causing heavy losses to the amateur artillerymen. When the explosive chamber is filled with gunpowder, it always comes as little as possible, just to hear the sound...

It is conceivable how lethal this old mortar with a seriously insufficient charge can be...

Of course, the quality of Domingo's troops is not good. Due to the rapid expansion of the army, the effort has doubled in just a few months. Except for the thousands of people under Domingo's direct control, the other teams are also mobs.

The only thing that stands out is that Yuri's American Empire has a lot of old stock muskets that were trophies obtained after victories. Domingo can at least guarantee that his troops have a flintlock.

As for the matchlock gun, the American Empire does not have it, and even if it is captured, it will be sent to the arsenal to refit the gun and turn it into a flintlock gun.

It's just that the barrel of the matchlock gun is of poor quality due to its long service life. The modified flintlock Yuri has never been used by the direct line of troops, that is, the Imperial Legion, and even the local city defense army will not use it. The Vanguard Division...

After all, the Vanguard Division belongs to the traditional army, and the personal influence of the generals is too great. There are more than 1 people in the Vanguard Division headquarters, and all the important officers are all old subordinates of Domingo. If Yuri takes Domingo down, the Vanguard The division's combat effectiveness will be discounted immediately, and people's hearts will be scattered!
After all, Domingo's confidant subordinates in the vanguard division saw that the boss had been killed, so they naturally had to guard against Yuri crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. It would be good if he didn't launch a mutiny.

When people are cornered, they can do anything.

Of course, this traditional army also has its advantages. As long as Domingo is obedient, this army can always operate efficiently and fight for the American Empire.

Domingo, who just won a victory, is in a good mood. Although everyone knows what the Spanish colonial army is on the opposite side, and it is impossible to record too many credits, the number is there after all.

It took less than a day for 2 troops to defeat 5 enemy troops. How nice it is to say it!
It's just that there are countless examples of similar battles in this era!

When the British Empire opened up colonies, the armed force of several hundred people was not a regular army. There are not many examples of defeating thousands of indigenous troops...

Of course, no matter how weak the Spanish colonial army on the opposite side was, they still had guns and cannons, which was much stronger than the indigenous army that only had swords, spears, bows and arrows.

Don't compare that kind of strong bow that pierces Yang with a hundred steps with the ordinary army archers of this era.

In feudal dynasties, ordinary archers could shoot targets of dozens of paces at most, and they still used projectiles!
And there is no accuracy at all, can only rely on surface lethality...

Even so, this kind of archers can be regarded as elite in the feudal dynasty...

To be precise, those who can serve as archers in the army are very powerful in themselves. After all, ordinary people can't shoot with bows and arrows...

"Congratulations, my lord. This time we were able to recruit tens of thousands of prisoners of war again. As long as we eliminate and delete them, the number of vanguard divisions will exceed [-] just around the corner!"

The adjutant next to him said with a flattering smile.

"The expansion of our troops is no longer a problem for us. The key is how to feed them. The northern part of Mexico has almost been scratched by us. Originally, the expansion of the army by [-] is enough, but His Majesty will leave [-]% of the time...

Alas, if you want to expand the army again, you can only continue to fight towards Mexico City.

The Spaniards there are not a mob. The Spanish colonial army we encountered was so weak precisely because the governor pulled all the people he could fight to his side! "
