Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The knowledge was always respected, the only thing that would happen to martial artists was to hide them away. Maybe General Xi Lapizuo used these Chinese people as mercenaries in the beginning, so as long as the battle ended in victory, they would all die.

But today, when Tie Toutuo and the others displayed a very high level of military attainment, he felt that he had picked up a treasure. These people were not only cannons on the battlefield, if they were to remain, they would definitely become a strong army of the Chile.

An endless stream of military men were pouring into the army. That was the way of the king!

Thinking about it, Xi Lapizuo straightened his back and took the wooden battleship models, he decided to not hide anything and officially treated the Chinese as his friends.

"In this war, naval operations are actually mainly fought between us, the Chile, and the Peru. From the beginning to the end, the Bolivia never built a navy on a large scale, other than a few small gunboats for offshore defense purposes, there were no other decent battleships!"

Xi Lapizuo proudly said, "In South America Continent, only we and the Peru's navy are the most powerful. Don't you believe it? In truth, there is no doubt that although the English and French and the rest are a hundred times stronger than us, but because of their huge families and large scale navy, changing into their equipment is actually not as efficient as us … "

"The reason is simple, with more than ten thousand ships in the British Navy, the amount of funds needed to replace the entire fleet is astronomical. After all, we are a rising nation, so the navy that has just been built can naturally be easily equipped."

"There are a total of twelve Iron-armored Ship s in the Peru, the flagship 'Huaska' has a total of 2300 tons of water discharged, the thickness of its armor is 25 mm, and there are a total of fourteen cannons on both sides of the ship … "The remaining warship emissions range from 800 to 1500 tons..."

As Xi Lapizuo placed the model battleship on the sand, he introduced it to everyone in detail.

"And our Chile's navy is double the enemy's strength! Our flagship Esmeralda emits 2800 tons of water, has an armor thickness of more than 35 mm, and has sixteen cannons on both sides of the ship... "As for the remaining twenty-one battleships, their draining tonnages are between 800 and 1900 tons, and their total tonnage is definitely more than double that of the enemy's …"

"You don't have to worry about the sea, we already have the absolute advantage. When we focus on the land war, the Navy will not only attract the cannons' firepower, but also deter the Peru's Navy from acting rashly …"

"Don't worry, we have already exchanged blows with the Peruvian Navy several times. These cowards know how powerful our navy is, so they have been hiding from us all the time. They are just a bunch of skinless, mangy dogs, there's no need to worry at all …"

Tie Toutuo looked at the opposing forces on the sand table and muttered to himself, "Is there really no threat? Are you sure? Are you sure? "

"General Tie, of course I'm sure. Otherwise, how do you think your reinforcements managed to land safely?" If not for the overwhelming advantage of our Chile's navy, would the Peru side allow twenty ships to enter the Chile's territory? "So you don't have to worry about that …"

"Alright, since we've eliminated this hidden danger, let's continue to analyze the situation on land …" If we fight 30,000 against 40,000 enemies, our military strength will not be at an advantage. Adding on to that, the enemy has seven sturdy fortresses, which makes it even more difficult for us to attack! "

"So I decided that the general idea of this battle was... Surrounding and reinforcement! Eat the reinforcements from the Bolivia first, and turn this desert into a pool of blood! "To strike down the morale of the garrison …"

"First of all, please invite the Chile's navy to enter the Ikek's sea area first, and use heavy artillery to bomb the pier, creating a terrifying atmosphere … Immediately after that, the regular army of the Chile used artillery to long-range bomb the city area, causing psychological pressure for the enemy! "

"Our brown army had already made the enemy cower in fear in the previous battle. Then, we will use the same technique again this time, leaving behind five thousand people waving their flags and shouting outside the city. The drum sounds created a false impression that the main force is on the side of the city!"

"The main body of the Bolivia has a total of twenty thousand people. If one wants to cross the desert, they have to follow a fixed route in the Oasis. "Here, in the largest oasis, the Oaxaca Oasis, set up an ambush. Let's eat this fat piece of meat!"

Ambushing in the desert? Such bold tactics shocked Xi Lapizuo, but he did not refute them on the spot. Instead, he started to meticulously calculate with the Chinese people.

During the sleepless night, everyone had their dinner by the side of the sand table. Black coffee was brewing pot after pot, and the cigars were being consumed one by one. If you looked carefully from afar, you would see that this huge tent was puffing out smoke from every crack like a monster in the night.

Three days later, the's naval flagship, the Esmeralai Lai, had all of her main battleship sail north from the port of Valparaiso. Two days later, the fleet arrived at the outer seas of the Ikek.

The appearance of the Chile's navy signalled the arrival of a decisive battle. The Peru could not rely on the navy to send reinforcements from the Bolivia to quickly arrive and carry out a land-based decisive battle.

After all, the Chile was fighting one against two. When the war entered a prolonged battle of national power, the advantage of two against one was slowly being displayed.

Two days after the Esmeralai sailed across the sea, the armies of the Chile were finally ready for battle. At five in the morning, when the first shell was fired from the flagship Esmeralda, the battle of the Ikek officially began.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The main cannons of the battleship spewed flames towards the shore defense cannon to carry out intensive bombardment, causing an uproar in the city. The citizens who had taken refuge in the city started to frantically flee towards the north, while the Chile's army did not set up any defenses in the north, allowing the civilians to leave.

Very soon, the shore defense cannon began to counterattack. In a short period of time, the pier rumbled and flames soared into the sky. The final battle finally began.

After the bombardment on the sea continued for an hour, the southern and eastern armies of the Chile began to go out in droves. They pushed the field gun in a neat phalanx across the fields and slowly pushed forward.

The cannons on the fortress also began to reload. The moment the enemy entered the range, they heard a roar in Spanish followed by the sound of artillery.

Only four or five lucky shots landed in the crowd, causing more than a dozen casualties. However, the round of shelling clearly angered the commander of the Chile army, and after the smoke settled down, there was suddenly an endless number of triangular flags erected behind the formation.

"It is the banner of the brown army... Why are there so many? Looks like the information is true. The brown army has received reinforcements from China, and they are charging over! " Shouts of terror rose from the interior of the fort.
