Bernard had a complicated thought about the confidence from Acapulco.

In a later sentence, when Bernard saw the letter, he thought to himself: You old man is very bad.

The first counter-espionage plan from Shao Tingda did not achieve its effect. Bernard did not have any suspicion of Jesus. He directly handed the name mentioned in the letter to the West India Committee in the name of the acting governor and the commander of the legion. After the review was correct, he was restored to his post.

The monarchy and military power are inherently suspicious, but the trust between military power and military power is inherently trustworthy. When Bernard has not placed himself in the psychological position of the governor of New Spain, the counter-espionage plan is difficult to work.

But it cannot be said that Shao Tingda's counter-espionage plan has no effect at all. Its potential effect is even greater than that Bernard directly killed Jessus. The rumors took root between the Pure Blood Legion and the Mixed Legion. There are rumors of distrust between generals circulating in Mexico City.

"Will this letter be true?"

Holding Almanza's second letter, Bernard was suspicious of everything. For some reason, he did not come up with the letter at the military meeting, but only pondered hard at his official residence.

Because my hair is falling a lot, I still can't think of a proper way to deal with it, and I don't have enough brains.

He was a general in charge, but he suddenly became the governor. In fact, he didn't have much talent as a general officer. However, the Ming army was working steadily and used conspiracies and tricks to make him not know what to do.

Therefore, even if he knew all the arrangements of the Ming army clearly, he could not make a decision quickly.

Those who are generals should not be afraid. Once they are afraid, they will make mistakes in their steps.

If you keep your troops still, you are afraid of delaying the opportunity to fight, and if you send troops to conquer, you are afraid of falling into ambush.

This psychological internal friction made Bernard unable to display the talents that a decision maker should have, but the clear conscience of the Commander of the Jesus Legion had enough time to prepare for the war and pushed open the door of the acting governor's residence.

"Your Excellency, I have collected information about the battle of the Ming army on the Herrera River from 133 defeated troops, and basically summarized the military formation form of their infantry in combat, but the information about the enemy cavalry is still unclear."

Jessus looked younger than the dead Herrera. He looked less like a general but rather like a civil servant. He came to Bernal to find him without wearing armor. He just wore black trousers and leather boots, and a yellowed linen shirt on his upper body. His large curly hair and simple outfit spread over his shoulders made him look like a wandering painter.

In fact, this is precisely why Bernard was not sure about the counter-espionage plan. This mixed-race commander did not seem to be the kind of person who could usurp power. On the contrary, his lack of material desires and no desire for power made him a person who was good at obedient.

It was also Jesus who proposed to the West Indian Council that the river where Herrera Legion was killed was named after Herrera.

He said: "Many information describes the Ming cavalry with the most advanced flintlock pistols, short range and powerful armor-breaking bows and arrows, light sabers that are good at chopping and slashing, two different lengths of cavalry spears used for sprinting and assassination, powerful long swords and long axes on the horse's back, and an armor-breaking weapon with a short handle and a round head similar to a mace hammer."

"In the armor, everyone has a breastplate, protecting the arm guards on the shoulders and the outside of the arms, a perfect helmet and an iron boot cover that protects the calves. The thigh seems to be using a war skirt with an outer blue cotton cloth but not fearing swords."

"What's strange is that they are equipped with so many weapons and heavy armor, but they ride a donkey-like pony. Do you think it's possible?"

The Ming cavalry in the defeated army were all immortals who could carry two spears, three long swords and big axes on their backs, and take out bird guns from their crotch to shoot.

That was not a Ming cavalry, that was a weapon dealer.

In fact, the cavalry of Heiyunlong is far less amazing, no matter how men or horses are, the selection criteria for Beiyang war horses are to carry 180 pounds and travel forty miles a day and march for three consecutive days.

Cavalry armor is equipped with all kinds of armor. Some people will also wear spare armor-lined armor in their luggage, but not too many. Besides, no one has three heads and six arms, so it is difficult to carry so many weapons.

Some of them will carry long swords, long-handled axes and long-handled iron melons, but most of them choose one between riding spears and spears. In addition, the waist knife, saber, battle sword, bone flower, and short-handled iron melons carry two kinds: heavy riding bow, light riding bow, and flintlock hand gun. Plus a round shield basically constitutes all their weapons.

Moreover, among the long-range weapons, most of the Beiyang recruits were recruiting children of the good family and were not familiar with riding and shooting. On the contrary, they were promoted from the best new army infantry, so most of them would choose to carry handguns.

Bernard has been so overwhelmed by his inner pressure recently that it has seriously affected his judgment. He nodded confidently and said, "Maybe!"

Hesus pursed his lips helplessly, nodding without any approval, simply skipped the topic: "Based on the battle information, I analyzed the formation of the Ming army's infantry. They will fight in a horizontal battle in the battle, have high morale and the courage to not fear death, and shoot with a large number of muskets at the same time."

"The soldiers who survived by chance were extremely afraid of their tactics. If they were not a mixed race like me, they would now clamor to return to the old continent to farm."

Bernal scoffed at this: "Every dirty deserter will say this, finding the right excuse for their cowardice, so what? Will the identity of a mixed race make them more courageous?"

"No." Jesus still shook his head gracefully, and even said in a leisurely manner, "Because they are mixed-race children, they can only clamor to stay in the New World to farm."

If it were in the past, Bernard would have raised his head and laughed at this time to echo the humor of his subordinates' commander. However, at this time, Jesus also knew that the acting governor did not have the leisure to laugh, and continued to say his conclusion decisively.

"Our phalanx fired nearly ten alternately before the Ming army opened fire, but the Ming army had almost no casualties. But as long as the Ming army fired, the escaped soldiers said that there would be no one in the phalanx around them. I think this is because they have many muskets."

"For this, I summoned the nobles of the city, raised one thousand six hundred mattresses from them, and formed five musketeers in the legion to gain an advantage for us in the following battles, and also recruited some idle mercenaries to supplement the legion's losses."

"The enemy has a strong cavalry unit. The streets of Mexico City are too straight, and it is not good for us to stick to them. On the contrary, once the Ming army enters the streets, our soldiers will flee because of fear. It is better to let the war start in the field that is more suitable for us, fight a battle with the Ming army, and hurry up before the naval battle is decided."

Bernard showed a strange look and said, "Why should we hurry before the naval battle is decided? If the naval battle is won, we will already win."

"Yes, the reason before the naval war has nothing to do with the war. At this point, you have nothing to do. If the war ends like this, in the eyes of the West India Committee, you will not only do nothing but also expel the boss general. Then what will be waiting for you?"
