Mod Amon led his two most elite divisions, totaling nearly 20,000 people, and began to attack outward.
There was no other way. Mod Amon knew that it was unrealistic to expect the rebels to break through at this time, because the other side also had to consider what they would face if they broke in and their side collapsed.
Therefore, Mod Amon could only break out on his own in the direction of Hualei Town and Sri Lanka. They carried out four large-scale raids in total, but after losing a lot of men and horses, they still failed to break out.
The Western Expedition Corps brought by Wang Dingyuan was originally composed of several mercenary groups. Although these mercenary groups were not good at offensive battles, extremely brutal encounters and defensive battles, they were very good at this kind of pursuit and interception, which was simply a common occurrence.
The entire Western Expedition Corps dispersed and set up ambush sites along the route of Mod'ammon's retreat, attacking the enemy when he was down and making sure that the gaps in the defense zone were closed tightly, making it extremely difficult for Mod'ammon to escape in a miserable state.
Not only that, Zhao Weihu also set up the last line of defense at the outermost edge of the defense zone. This line of defense could not only prevent the Red Hat Army of Lao Mo from breaking in, but also strangled the only way for Mod Amon to escape!
After a series of pursuits and blockades, Mod Amon's troops suffered heavy losses, and were finally forced to retreat to a nearby high mountain.
…
The battle lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening, and Mod Amon's troops had established a preliminary and crude defense zone on the mountain.
Many soldiers were injured and lying on the ground, receiving treatment. The remaining soldiers were also covered in dust and in a state of disarray, lying in the defense zone, blocking waves of attacking enemies.
Mod Amon was hiding in a dark cave at this time. Beside him, the members of the entire command center were no longer complete. On the way of escape, some died in battle, some were scattered, and the rest were also injured. Everyone looked a little tired and even a little panicked.
Mord Amon sat on a rock, his forehead covered with cold sweat. Listening to the bursts of gunfire outside, he thought for a long time, and finally turned his head to look at the chief of staff sitting next to him and said, "Tariel, it is obvious that we can no longer break through this defense zone. But it doesn't matter, we still have a card in our hand."
Chief of Staff Tariel also wiped the sweat from his face, looking a little confused, wondering what other cards he had.
Mod Amon looked serious and continued, "If the war in the Guarda region ends now, it will be a wonderful thing for the Santos regime. Because they can close the gap and annihilate the rebels as soon as they advance, thus affecting the war situation in the entire Old Mexico region. So, I want to call him now!"
Tariel understood what he meant and nodded slowly.
…
Five minutes later, in the Gwadar area, at the forward command position of the Renmin Army.
Su Tianyu was waiting for news of the siege, when at this moment, he suddenly received a video call from Santos.
After the call was connected, in addition to Santos himself, some core generals of the Mexican army, as well as Zhao Weihu, Wang Dingyuan, Fei Pingsheng and others participated in the video conference.
After everyone joined in, Santos spoke first, "I convened this meeting urgently because I just received a call from Mod Amon. He surrendered, agreed to cooperate with us, and is willing to obey our command. He can even fight with us, actively lure the rebels deep into our territory, and then surround them. All we have to do is return the Xinlai area to them."
Although Santos's expression was calm, it was not difficult to hear a hint of excitement in his voice.
Before Su Tianyu and the others could express their opinions, a staff officer under Santos said, "I think we can accept Modamon's surrender. This is a rare opportunity for us. The war in the Guarda region is over. We can effectively control the casualties and complete the assembly of troops. If Modamon is willing to hand over his family as a bargaining chip and unite with us to attack the rebels who have entered the interior of Old Mexico, we have a good chance of directly eating up a large part of the enemy's main elite troops!"
In the video, some generals of the Mexican government army couldn't help but nod their heads.
"I don't agree." After hearing this, Su Tianyu finally spoke up to refute, saying concisely: "My opinion is that there should be no peace talks! This is a war, not a child's play. If you can win, fight, if you can't, surrender!! Are you playing? If you don't solve the hidden dangers, these warlords may always stab you in the back! If you want to rule the army with an iron fist, you must strike hard, kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and completely solve the symptoms of rebellion in the Lao Mo area! Mod Amon is the best touchstone!"
Santos frowned and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Su, if this is the case, we may miss the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the rebels!"
Su Tianyu looked at him and said, "Rebellions keep happening! The reason is that your regime is too easy to compromise! If you can't win, just say a few nice words and everything will be written off! Without bloody lessons, there will be no absolute obedience! There is an old saying in the Chinese region, you must first stabilize the country before you can achieve external goals! I insist on not accepting Mod Amon's surrender, and he must pay a heavy price for this rebellion! This gap must not be opened, because in the Lao Mo region, you still have more than a dozen warlords to recruit! Once the gap is opened, there will be endless troubles!"
Santos fell silent. At this moment, Zhao Weihu and Wang Dingyuan both expressed their agreement with Su Tianyu's suggestion.
Santos thought about it and felt that what Su Tianyu said made some sense. After exchanging opinions with the chief of staff beside him, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's solve the problem as soon as possible!"
Everyone communicated briefly, then hung up the phone and took action on their own.
…
Ten minutes later, Su Tianyu took a military vehicle and came to the foot of the mountain where Mod Amon was hiding.
A large number of soldiers were preparing at the foot of the mountain, ready to launch the next round of attack.
Su Tianyu observed the situation on the mountain, thought for a moment, turned his head and asked the guard beside him: "Is there anyone who can speak the local dialect? Let him come over!"
The guard nodded, took out his communicator and started talking.
Two minutes later, a young man walked over, stood in front of Su Tianyu, and saluted him: "Report to the commander, I can speak the local dialect!"
Su Tianyu immediately pointed at him and said, "Turn on the public channel and shout something to the entire army..."
…
At the same time, Mod Amon was still hiding in the cave, wandering around, anxiously waiting for Santos' response.
At this moment, a roar of applause suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain: "Mod Amon, please kneel down and die!!!"
This sentence was shouted in the local language and Chinese, coming from all directions, resounding on the mountain peaks, and bringing with it waves of echoes.
Mod Amon's face flushed red, feeling an unprecedented humiliation, and he said viciously: "Since you won't accept my surrender, then well, at worst, we'll fight to the death! Notify all troops to charge down the mountain at all costs!"
As he spoke, Mod Amon also walked out of the cave.
“Crack!”
At this moment, Chief of Staff Tariel behind him turned his head and looked around, pulled out his pistol, pulled the bolt, and pointed it at his head.
Mod Amon turned around suddenly and looked at the other party in astonishment: "Hey, what are you doing?"
“Bang!”
Tariel stepped forward and slapped Mord Amon in the face, making him see stars.
Mod Amon covered his face, standing there in a daze.
"Ever since I was a baby, my dad has never been willing to hit me!" Tariel pointed at him and cursed, "You damn idiot, it's all because of your greed that you brought us to our death!"
Mord Amon immediately came to his senses and shouted angrily: "Catch him! Catch him!!"
When the other officers around saw this scene, they all had no expression on their faces and remained unmoved.
Tariel pointed at Mord Amon and ordered the people around him: "Tie him up for me. From now on, we will restore justice!"
“Bang!”
Several officers stepped forward and pinned Mod Amon down.
…
Five minutes later, Mod Amon was tied up by his own staff, sent down the mountain and thrown in front of Su Tianyu.
