phone-reading

Zachary Taylor didn't know that his two little beasts had become the mascots of his troops, with their own deterrent effect.

When fighting the Mexican army, Zachary Taylor found that the morale of many Mexican soldiers was low, and there were even many deserters every time they fought. He didn't know that Victor and James had been passed down by Mexican soldiers into Zachary Taylor, the devil, I thought it was because of the shock from my previous record, and I was complacent about it.

But soon, he was no longer happy.

They were heavily encircled by the Mexican army!

Mexican President and Commander-in-Chief Antonio López de Santa Ana learned that most of the soldiers and supplies in Zachary Taylor's hands had been transferred and weakened. to death.

On the other hand, Victor and James were the opposite of Zachary Taylor's solemnity. When they heard the news that the enemy army was coming, they both became excited. They had not fought a single battle in the past two months. , just outside Monterrey, waiting for the Mexican troops on the opposite side to evacuate.

The other soldiers enjoyed this rare time of peace, but Victor and James felt like they were rusting all over their bodies. Seeing the Mexican soldiers who were evacuating continuously and less and less, felt like a cat was scratching with their claws. .

The battle during this period has greatly improved the strength of the two, and they are immersed in the thrill of the rapid increase in strength, but they are interrupted by Zachary Taylor. Commander's face, whenever they meet, they will stare at him.

At this time, Zachary Taylor and his troops were stationed in Buena Vista, northern Mexico.

Knowing that the Mexican army was coming, Zachary Taylor immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle and immediately began to strengthen the fortifications.

After Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana led his troops to Buenavista, they did not rush to attack. The rumor that Zachary Taylor had devil warriors in the troops still caused him a problem. Certain influence, so he did not act rashly, but first sent a small group of troops to test Zachary Taylor's troops.

But none of the troops he sent out came back alive.

Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana couldn't help but be more cautious. Even though he had far more soldiers than Zachary Taylor's, he didn't launch the total, and kept trying again and again.

And Zachary Taylor knew that his troops were far less than the enemy's, and that he would suffer heavy losses in a direct battle, so he did not rush to launch a counterattack, but let Victor and James lead the team to deal with the exploratory attack from Mexico. , while seize the time to continue to build and reinforce the fortifications, adjust the defense plan, and try to increase the confidence of winning.

After a long period of temptation, the unease in Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana's heart did not lessen, but grew stronger.

Although most of the exploratory attacks ended in the annihilation of the Mexican army, many soldiers survived and fled back to the Mexican army camp for so long.

And from them, Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana heard the same description.

The devil, powerful, fearless of swords and guns, cannot be killed!

However, even if the unease in his heart was confirmed, Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana had to choose to continue.

Now, no matter if the opponent is really a devil or for some other reason, this battle can't be dragged on any longer!

Finally, on February 22, 1847, the Mexican army launched a full-scale offensive, and the two sides launched a decisive battle, which brought the Mexican-American War to its peak.

At this time, the Mexican army had 20,000 troops, and Zachary Taylor's troops were only more than 4,700. The battle lasted for two whole days.

The Mexican soldiers are numerous and have an absolute advantage in military strength, while Zachary Taylor relies on perfect fortifications.

And the advantage of defense, withstood the fierce attack of the Mexican army.

After two days of fighting, both sides were exhausted. In the end, the morale was low, and it continued to decline under the fueling tactics of Antonio López de Santa Ana. In the end, the Mexican army took the lead and could not hold on, and the deserters became more and more More and more, the balance of victory gradually began to tilt.

Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana saw that the defeat was set, and he was helpless. He had to give up the fight with hatred, and quickly retreated after dark, so that Zachary Taylor won the final victory of the battle. .

In this battle, the US military suffered 746 casualties, and the Mexican army lost more than 2,000 people. Among them, hundreds of people died at the hands of Victor and James!

When the battle was over and the Mexican army retreated, the clothes on the two men had already become rags, full of bullet holes and damage.

Rao is the two of them with extraordinary physical strength and strong recovery ability. After these two consecutive days of fierce fighting, they are also tired and out of breath, and their whole body is soaked with sweat.

Unlike other soldiers who also attack alternately, soldiers who are too tired can take a break in the position to recover their physical strength, and don't need to think about sleeping.

On the other hand, Victor and James fought from the moment the war started to the end, never stopping in the middle.

That is to say, the two have a special physique. The powerful self-healing ability brings a super fast recovery speed, and their physical strength is almost infinite. Otherwise, they would have died of exhaustion in this fierce battle if they were not killed by bullets.

But it was worth it for being so tired. In just these two days of battle, the strength of the two of them could be worth the battle of the previous months, which shows the intensity of this battle.

The eyes of the two of them looking at Zachary Taylor were finally not as indignant as before, but a little softer.

What Mr. Chen Mo said is true, following this old boy, you don't have to be afraid that there will be no battles, this battle is simply too much fun!

Feeling the change in the eyes of Victor and James when they looked at him, Zachary Taylor felt helpless, these two crazy little guys!

With this decisive victory, Zachary Taylor became the "biggest hero" of the Mexican-American War for which Congress awarded him a gold medal.

With this, the Mexican-American War also came to an end.

General Winfield Scott led his troops to attack Mexico City by sea, and successfully broke through the city walls, entered Mexico City, and controlled the entire city to implement military control.

Then, under pressure from the U.S. military, Mexican President Antonio López de Santa Ana, who had been defeated and rout by Zachary Taylor, was removed from office. On November 11, 1847, Anjo was elected interim president of Mexico, and the two sides prepared for peace talks.
