Mascots!

Zachary Taylor was unaware that his two little Beast had become the mascots of his unit, serving as a natural deterrent.

While fighting the Mexico army, Zachary Taylor noticed that many Mexico soldiers were demoralized, and there were even many deserters in every battle. Unaware that Victor and James had been rumored to be devils by the Mexico soldiers, Zachary Taylor thought it was because of the intimidation caused by his previous achievements and was complacent about it.

However, he soon lost his joy.

They were besieged by a large force of Mexico troops!

Upon learning that most of Zachary Taylor's soldiers and supplies had been transferred away, weakening his forces, Mexico President and Commander-in-Chief Antonio López de Santa Anna immediately led all his troops to attack Zachary Taylor, hoping to annihilate Taylor's forces.

In stark contrast to Zachary Taylor's somber demeanor, Victor and James were overjoyed upon hearing the news of the enemy's approach. For the past two months, they hadn't fought a single battle, simply waiting on the outskirts of Monterrey for the Mexico forces to withdraw.

The other soldiers were enjoying this rare moment of peace, but Victor and James felt like they were rusting all over. Watching the Mexico soldiers retreat and the number of them dwindling, they felt like a cat was scratching at their hearts.

The battles during this period had greatly improved the two men's strength, and they were basking in the thrill of their rapid improvement when they were abruptly interrupted by Zachary Taylor. It's no wonder that the two men showed no respect to the old man Taylor, the major general Commander, and would glare at him whenever they met.

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

Upon learning of the Mexico army's approach, Zachary Taylor immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare for battle and began to strengthen their defenses.

After Antonio López de Santa Anna led his troops to Buena Vista, he did not rush to attack. The rumors circulating in the army that Zachary Taylor had devil warriors under his command still had some influence on him. Therefore, he did not act rashly, but first sent out a small force to probe Zachary Taylor's troops.

However, none of the troops he sent out returned alive.

Antonio López de Santa Anna became even more cautious. Despite having far more soldiers than Zachary Taylor's forces, he hesitated to launch a full-scale attack and continued to probe repeatedly.

Zachary Taylor knew that his forces were far outnumbered by the enemy, and that a direct confrontation would result in heavy losses. Therefore, he did not rush to launch a counterattack. Instead, he had Victor and James lead the troops to deal with the probing attacks from the Mexico, while he seized the time to continue building and reinforcing the fortifications and adjusting the defense plan to increase the chances of winning.

After a long period of probing, Antonio López de Santa Anna's unease not only did not lessen, but grew stronger.

Although most of the probing attacks ended in the complete annihilation of the Mexico army, many soldiers survived and escaped back to their Mexico camps during this long period of time.

Antonio López de Santa Anna heard the same description from them.

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

However, even though his unease was confirmed, Antonio López de Santa Anna had no choice but to continue.

Now that things have come to this, regardless of whether the other side is truly a devil or for some other reason, this battle cannot be delayed any longer!

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

At this time, the Mexico army had 20,000 troops, while Zachary Taylor's forces numbered only 4,700. The battle lasted for two full days.

The Mexico army was numerous and had an absolute advantage in military strength. Zachary Taylor's side, on the other hand, relied on its well-constructed fortifications and defensive advantages to hold off the fierce attacks of the Mexico army.

After two days of fighting, both sides were exhausted. In the end, the already low morale continued to decline under Antonio López de Santa Anna's tactics of adding fuel to the fire. Ultimately, the Mexico army was the first to give up, and more and more soldiers deserted. The balance of power began to tilt.

Seeing that defeat was inevitable and there was no way to turn the tide, Antonio López de Santa Anna had no choice but to abandon the fight in resentment and retreat quickly after dark, which allowed Zachary Taylor to win the final victory in this battle.

In this battle, the US Army suffered 746 casualties, while the Mexican army lost more than 2,000, of whom hundreds died at the hands of Victor and James!

When the battle ended and the Mexico army withdrew, the clothes on the two men were already tattered and riddled with bullet holes and tears.

Even with their exceptional stamina and remarkable recovery abilities, the two were exhausted and drenched in sweat after two days of intense fighting.

Unlike other soldiers who take turns attacking, soldiers who are too tired can rest briefly in the position to recover their strength, but they can forget about sleeping.

Victor and James, on the other hand, fought from the moment the battle began until the end, without stopping at all.

In other words, the two of them had special physical constitutions and powerful self-healing abilities that brought them super-fast recovery speeds and near-infinite stamina. Otherwise, they would have been killed by bullets or exhausted in this fierce battle long ago.

However, it was all worth it. The improvement in their strength from just these two days of fighting was equivalent to that of several months of previous battles, which shows how intense this battle was.

The two men's gazes toward Zachary Taylor were no longer as indignant as before; instead, they softened somewhat.

Master Chen Mo is absolutely right. With this old rascal by our side, we'll never have to worry about not having any battles to fight. This battle was absolutely exhilarating!

Zachary Taylor felt a wave of helplessness as he sensed the change in the way Victor and James looked at him. These two crazy little guys!

For this decisive victory, Zachary Taylor became the "greatest hero" of the Mexican-American War, and Congress awarded him a gold medal in recognition of his achievements.

Thus, the Mexican-American War came to an end.

General Winfield Dred Scott led his troops to attack Mexico City by sea, successfully breaching the city walls and entering the Mexico City, where he placed the entire city under military control.

Subsequently, under pressure from the US Army, Mexico President Antonio López de Santa Anna, who had been defeated and fled by Zachary Taylor, was removed from office. On November 11, 1847, Anaya was elected as the provisional president of Mexico, and the two sides prepared for peace talks.
