Chapter 294 The City That Can't Be Robbed

The sun hung overhead, just after noon, Grant looked at the town at his fingertips and sighed: "Hey! Order the troops to retreat ten miles, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and keep an eye on me to see what is really going on in Washington. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

There has never been a day so long, Grant is in a dilemma, and he is deep in thought, to fight or not to fight! It became a multiple-choice question.

It wasn't until late at night, when Washington took the initiative to send a five-hundred-mile express horse to Richmond to inform him that Grant understood that Lincoln in the town was real and that there had been an assassination in Washington.

This is even more tricky, because it is even more impossible for him to attack the town, otherwise the whole Federation will not let him go, and even more frustratingly, he cannot withdraw his troops and make sure that Robert Lee does not take Lincoln elsewhere.

Late at night! At the Washington Navy Yard, there was only the sound of the river crashing against the shore rocks, the silence all around, and there were only four guards in the guard room of the shipyard's gates, and of course a platoon of militia members sleeping in the warm building.

Yesterday's Union troops had already withdrawn into the city.

In the night, suddenly, outside the dock of the shipyard, dense black shadows appeared.

"Tours! You lead the people to the gate. Don't let anyone go, and if someone comes by, pay attention to the reminder. ”

"It's an envoy!"

Tur took the order and left, and Yang Dongfang said to Dou Dongdong more than a dozen times: "You guys are fast, search the shipyard, and find that all the Americans are killed on the spot, don't make a move." ”

"Yes!"

Soon Yang Dongfang took control of the entire shipyard, and sent a reconnaissance company out to guard the outside, and then said to everyone: "Brothers! I'm done.,Tear it down for me.。。 ”

It took three hours to basically dismantle all the equipment in the entire shipyard, Yang Dongfang sent them all to the space, looked at the sky, and then took people away and ran to the northeast.

After another hour of walking on the wild road, I finally got on the railroad tracks and got out of the train, which made everyone pedal on, and the whining train emitted black smoke and carried everyone quietly out of Washington.

Washington really has nothing to grab, and in order to avoid exposing Yang Dongfang didn't plan to do it here at all, but directly killed it in the northern hinterland.

After dawn, after walking thirty kilometers, the train coming from the opposite direction in front almost collided with the train of Yang Dongfang and others, but fortunately, the train speed in this era was very slow, and after seeing it from a distance, the train in the opposite direction stopped.

"Tur, you take people down, your people go in front, my people in the back, detain this train for me."

"Okay envoy!" Sure enough, Tur walked down, and after walking with dozens of his navy New Nationalist soldiers wearing Northern Army clothes, the opposite side was still scolding, but after seeing a group of soldiers, they didn't dare to move, and all the people in the car were captured.

Yang Dongfang found out that this was a freight train, and learned from the driver that there would be two trains from the opposite side today, and sure enough, there was really another train meeting later, all of them were detained, and the driver and the people on the car Yang Dongfang were not polite, and they were all killed.

At the end of the curtain, about to enter Baltimore, the largest city in Maryland, Tur, who had always been obedient, suddenly took the initiative to speak to Yang Dongfang: "Special envoy! Do you have to take Baltimore like any other city or shipyard, tear down everything valuable, move everything you can use, and confiscate weapons? ”

Yang Dongfang didn't know why Tours suddenly asked this question, because Robert Lee acquiesced in these behaviors of his own, and had already argued that it was to wreak havoc on the northern hinterland.

Nodding, Yang Dongfang didn't lie to him: "Yes, Major Tour!" Any questions? ”

Tours said directly: "Envoy, you can't do this in this city, it supports our south, if you raid Baltimore, the whole of Maryland will fall to the Union, and there will be no one to support the Union." ”

Yang Dongfang was a little puzzled, isn't Maryland a northern state? When did he support the South, Tours saw his doubts, and said: "Special Envoy, you may not know, Baltimore is the place where the federal anthem was born, and it is as extraordinary a place as Washington.

At the same time, this is also the first city in the northern state to attack the federal army with weapons after the establishment of the alliance, and the armed uprising and rebellion, the original mayor and police chief have been locked up, and most of the state legislators have been under the control of the federation, and the entire state is actually under military control, and the people of Baltimore have actually been living under the guns of the federation, so. ”

"Got it!" Hearing this, he didn't understand that Yang Dongfang was a pig's brain, on the contrary, his eyes were full of fine light, and there was a smile on his face.

It seems that Maryland has an article to do! Baltimore City is even more promising!

At the same time, it also made Yang Dongfang wake up, military management! There are quite a few troops in this city, and this battle tonight will not be too easy, and the lads can't be careless.

Fortunately, it was already dark when I arrived, and the citizens of Baltimore City had dinner, and at this time, Americans, except for gambling and prostitution, as long as they didn't have any programs on the night of the festival, so most of them went to bed early.

Not to mention the train station.

When the whining train came in, the guards on duty here were curious.

"Is there a train coming over today? Why didn't you get noticed. ”

"Nope! I checked the form, and there were only three shipments to Washington today, and I don't know if there was some accident ahead, so they returned it. ”

Although it was strange, the defenders did not think about it in any other way, and accepted the explanation of the station personnel, of course, there was still a second lieutenant with a few small soldiers, carrying a gun, and walked over to check.

I am already very familiar with this set of new people's army, but this time it is more convenient to have Tur and others, so Tur and others get out of the car first and paralyze the people who came to inspect.

"Dear Second Lieutenant Skechers, I'm sorry to tell you, now that you have been captured, the Coalition has attacked Baltimore, if you want to live, tell me everything you know, and I will treat the captives preferentially in the name of the priest." Turr said wittily, and his men's pistols were pressed against the waist of the shocked Ensign Skechers, who had a wide open mouth.

Of course, Ensign Skechers refused at first, but one of his soldiers was stabbed to death, and he told everything he knew, and the next moment, the man was knocked unconscious.

Tours and the others swaggered into the station, took control of the station entrances and exits, and re-interrogated a few people to get more information.

The New People's Army disembarked one after another, and formed a battalion, each battalion followed a few of Tour's men, and rushed to various parts of the city, and soon there was an exchange of fire, and the 2,000 defenders were quickly killed and routed.

Many Federation troops were also blocked in the barracks, but after the barracks were opened by shelling, all surrendered, but the direction of the pier was not satisfactory.

Wang Dake ran to report: "Marshal, in the dock, there are Federation warships, and the frontal attack has been somewhat restricted, so I asked the first battalion to temporarily stop the attack to reduce casualties. ”

"Warships? How many? Hearing this situation, Yang Dongfang was not angry, on the contrary, he was happy, Wang Dake, who climbed up from the very basics, but followed Yang Dongfang to fight in the south and the north, and he didn't know that he had fought many battles, that is, he knew the nobility of the warship, and he understood the magic of Yang Dongfang's immortal method, so he came to report it as soon as possible, so he stretched out three fingers.

"Three! Not bad! Just right! Haha, I'm going to take it all. ”

Yang Dongfang rushed to the dock with people, yes, at this time, the federal army began to repair simple fortifications to defend the dock, but it didn't work for Yang Dongfang, I saw him laugh loudly and flew to the warship with people, kicked the federal navy on the ship into the water, occupied one, and then flew and occupied the second ship.

The cannon was adjusted, aimed at the Federation battleship in the middle, and fired ten rounds of shelling, flanking from both sides, beating the battleship in the middle half-crippled, and had to surrender.

In this way, the federal troops on the dock could only surrender helplessly, and Yang Dongfang collected the large and small ships in the dock by the way.

You can't demolish Baltimore City, and it's okay to collect some interest.

The occupation of Baltimore City was the first time to liberate the prison, release the anti-Union people who were imprisoned by the Union, and at the same time proclaim the whole city. Tell the Citizens League to capture the city and defeat the Union.

Next, Tours persuaded the anti-Union activists to form a new city government, form a self-defense army, issue weapons, and list recent achievements.

Many people saw the federal army minister escorted out by the New People's Army, and their confidence in the alliance was strengthened, and they supported the anti-federal movement even more.

Yang Dongfang left the guard regiment to engage in anti-fedralism with great fanfare, preparing to turn the city into a target to attract gunfire from Washington, mobilize federal troops, and he took a few dozen people to take advantage of the night to get on the train, and then went northeast, and the next target was Philadelphia.
