Chapter 275: Half-crossing

Soon Sheridan arrived at the shoal with two regiments and immediately crossed the river. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But this time, there were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at them.

There were concealed positions on the opposite side of the shoal, and two cannons were facing the river. Sheridan never dreamed that the rats he was chasing would dare to attack him here.

"Hit!"

Just crossed the river but more than 100 horses, the river surface was crowded with the cavalry of the Northern Army Brigade slowly waving water, only to hear a gunshot, the cavalry crossing the river one by one was shot down, dense bullets hit, instantly killed the Northern Army that had already landed.

"Fack!"

Sheridan and their generals were about to bulge out of their eyes, and the southern army actually attacked halfway, and slapped himself fiercely, his face turned blue in an instant, and he pulled a person over: "How did you investigate, why is there an ambush on the opposite side, and your scouts?" ”

The questioner trembled and replied, "I don't know what's going on, maybe I was killed by the traitors of the Southern Army after crossing the river." ”

"Then why didn't you report it, why?"

The person who was asked, silent and pretending to be a dead dog, he couldn't answer what Sheridan asked, it was normal for individual scouts to disappear since last night, otherwise there would not have been two total annihilations.

At this moment, two shells came from the opposite side and fell into the river, and the dense cavalry was blown away in an instant, killing a large number of people.

In the middle of the river is a good live target, you can't advance, you can't retreat, you can only fire back on the horse, as for the one who fell off the horse, he also fart, the water is not half a body, the barrel of the gun is in the water.

In the center of the river is a floating corpse, and the river is stained red.

"Cover!"

Sheridan's eyes were red, and he was angry, and he did not forget to command, and hurriedly let the cavalry on the south bank dismount and shoot along the river to cover, and at the same time had to let the cavalry in the river continue to cross the river, trying to rush ashore and fight with the southern army on the opposite side.

There was no way to do it, and if the soldiers in the river turned around and came back, they would only expose their backs to the enemy, and there would be few who could come back, and it would be too unjust to die.

The northern army in the river also understood that they had to die before and after, and it also stimulated the blood, and took advantage of all favorable conditions to continue to cross the river and be a real knight.

However, the bullets were eyeless, and most of the people who forced their way across the river were killed, and only a few dozen people finally reached the shore with the heavy fire of the army on the south bank behind them, and began to shoot under the cover of the corpses of horses and accomplices.

In the end, the whole army was not destroyed, and Sheridan and his men found a little comfort, but of course the mood was still heavy, and four or five hundred people were killed and wounded at once, and half of the regiment was disabled.

Half-crossed, hit TM hard.

Just as the Northern Army gritted its teeth, the artillery on the opposite side continued to roar, but the fire extended a little and smashed towards his army on the south bank, cutting off the idea that Sheridan and the others were going to send a brigade across the river.

The number of people crossing the river is still a little smaller, and they are unable to attack the positions of the Southern Army and provide cover for the army to cross the river, so they can only retreat and defend passively, and it is good if they are not completely wiped out, but it makes Sheridan very passive.

You can't advance, you can't retreat, otherwise the people who cross the river will be wiped out, Sheridan felt that the Southern Army was deliberate, in order to let him keep trying to cross the river, and then continue to consume his strength in turn.

So he wisely did not do this, his eyes seemed to see the plan of the southern army, and only ordered his generals: "Immediately notify the troops on the north bank, come quickly, and block the southern army for me on the north bank, we will attack the north and south, and this time we must completely eliminate them." ”

The generals below quickly understood, their eyes finally showed light, and they were secretly happy in their hearts, yes, this time the southern army is dead, and this group of rats is dead.

Dare to set up an ambush here and attack half-crossing, okay, you have succeeded in the sneak attack, but you have also been exposed, and you dare to defend here, hehe, this time look at where you are running.

After understanding this, Sheridan's subordinates pretended to cross the river, but were warned by the artillery bombardment, retreated, and would not attack again, shelled, and retreated, and so on, all the while attracting the attention of the opposite side, dragging on and waiting for the arrival of the army on the north bank.

The eastern side is also happy to cooperate, why should dozens of northern troops be left to cross the river and go ashore, it is also a procrastination decision, in order to make Sheridan misjudge and drag his two regiments here.

After receiving the news, the northern army on the north bank hurried to the battle site in a hurry, and after completing the containment plan, they did not pay much attention to the surroundings, sent more reconnaissance, and ran directly to the target, not knowing that they had fallen into the pocket of the southern army.

"Hit!"

Entering the ambush circle, with the experience of the day before dawn, Daniel and the 1,800 officers and soldiers below fought more easily and calmly, and opened fire one after another.

Most of the cavalry of the Northern Army were killed in the first time, but this time the regiment obviously reacted much faster, and Tianming saw clearly, knew where the fire was fierce, quickly avoided it, and then turned around and ran away.

However, the way back had just been blocked, and a Gatling fire blocked and besieged it, making the Northern cavalry feel desperate.

Of course, these cavalry of the Northern Army are still very remarkable, in the face of fierce gunfire, they resolutely continued to break through here, constantly attacking, and finally relied on a spirit that was not afraid of death, rushed to the position, killed hundreds of Southern troops, and escaped a platoon, and ended this ambush that was not a complete one.

"Gunshots!"

"There are gunshots in the lower reaches of the north bank, could it be that our men have exchanged fire with the southern army, but it sounds like ten miles away, not so fast."

"Not good! We were fooled again. When Sheridan heard the gunshots, he immediately realized that something was wrong, because he had discovered a flaw in the South Army on the other side, the gunfire was so sparse that he had forgotten to pay attention to it at first.

Secretly, the southern army will not eat another regiment of its own, the opposite side is only a small part of the blockade, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this possibility is very high.

However, out of caution, he did not immediately throw all his troops across the river, and soon someone came to report that the troops on the north bank had really been ambushed by the southern army, and he had lost another regiment.

"Alright, the bait can be eaten, let's withdraw!"

After receiving the results from Daniel, Yang Dongfang immediately ordered the troops to open artillery to bombard the dozens of northern troops who crossed the river, and a few shells fell accurately, and they were directly killed with this bait.

Only then did he turn around and withdraw from the trenches, and after a short run, he changed his horse and galloped away, leaving behind the helpless and resentful Northern Army

"Cross the river! Keep chasing! "No one in the Northern Army can swallow this breath, Sheridan only ordered people to cross the river, and at this time, the state of the Northern Army is like you are crazy, excited and impulsive.

However, soon they crossed the river and rushed to the capital in front of the trench left by Yang Dongfang, and were hit by several mines again, losing more than 20 people.

"Fake, the Yugoslav army is so despicable that they actually planted mines here." (To be continued.) )
