Chapter 298 enters North Carolina

"Rush over and kill them!" Yang Dongfang saw it clearly, and found from the telescope that there were only two warships in the Northern Army, and there were not many soldiers on the boats at all, and it was estimated that they were attracted by the attack on the land to support the town, and at this time they just took it down in one fell swoop, otherwise how could the amateur water warfare troops on their side be their opponents.

"Fire! Bombed the North Yankees on the shore of the pier. ”

When Yang Dongfang and the others' warships approached, the northern army in the town had already been defeated and retreated, and the soldiers of the northern army ran to the dock in twos and threes, and Yang Dongfang decisively divided a group of men to bombard the dock. The other group continued to rush at full speed towards the opposing warship.

"God! How could there be a warship of the Southern Army in Lake Kerr. ”

The northern army in the town was almost desperate, the waterways were all prominent to the southern, and they themselves did not have many men, only six companies, including the navy of warships.

Soon Yang Dongfang and the others killed one of the Northern Army warships, only to find that these warships were only equipped with two guns, and they were all old wooden ships, which did not pose much threat to them at all.

All the surviving Northern troops surrendered.

"Richard now gives you a mission, kill me all but the naval prisoners." Yang Dongfang left the stunned Richard Yule and led people to interrogate the captured naval soldiers.

Richard Yule stood still, struggling for a long time, and finally pulled out his pistol and walked towards the woods to the west of the town.

By the time Yang Dongfang and others attacked Clarksville, Robert Lee's vanguard, General John Gordon, had already conquered South Boston with a division, crossed the Danshui River, and entered North Carolina.

"Envoy! The people have been dealt with, where are we going to fight next? ”

Glancing at the relieved Richard Yule, Yang Dongfang walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "General Richard, remember to use a knife next time, our ammunition is not very sufficient." ”

"This...!"

"Okay, come on, the captives have just confessed, they still have two warships and four merchant ships in Mecklenburg on the east side of Lake Kerr, and there are quite a few fishing boats there, and I must go over tonight to destroy them to avoid being used by the federal army." Yang Dongfang commanded:

"You first send a few liaison officers to Roxborough to contact General Lee, and then collect supplies here, and then take a boat to the South Lake to go ashore, go to capture Middleburg, control that road, protect General Lee's left flank, remember that no one of the Union forces can let them pass there, I will rush over to meet as soon as possible."

After explaining, Yang Dongfang threw a small box of federal gold coins to Richard Yule. Then the battleship with two twenty-gun guns left Clarksville.

Six hours later, Yang Dongfang finally broke through the calm and thousands of turns, like a maze of Lake Kerr, five large bays, and finally appeared in Mecklenburg after being bumpy and tired.

When he arrived, the liaison officer of the Northern Army had just informed Dao to leave, and the federal troops guarding here did not notice anything unusual, and then went back to sleep, only until Yang Dongzhu's warship appeared, and was found by the dozing patrol soldiers and took the initiative to greet them into the dock.

Yang Dongfang and the others took control of this place without a fight.

"Give some money to the local people, and if the Northern Army comes, it will be said that the ships have been requisitioned by federal naval officers."

He took the boat away, and at the same time collected some supplies, and then took the people to the east and plunged into Lake Kerr again.

The sky was bright and the breeze was gentle, and the bows of dozens of boats in Lake Nankel plunged into the reeds on the shore, and under the guidance of the old fisherman, Richard Juul's men found a path to Middelburg, which was less visited by the people, and after an hour of running, they rushed into Middelburg and killed a company of the Northern Army on duty there. And got the news that Hum Desen City, ten kilometers away, was extremely empty, and immediately rushed away with a regiment, leaving a regiment here to wait for Yang Dongfang.

The sky was bright, and Yang Dongfang, who finally arrived, found that Richard Yule was a good guy and left the target, and he was originally a little angry, but when he thought of this guy, he finally did not hesitate, and decisively attacked and judged the form, so he did not intend to hold him responsible.

Just a few minutes after resting, two horses came from the direction of Hum Dessen City.

"Envoy! General Richard has already taken the city of Hudson, and is gathering the rout of the original Western Front army around the city, asking to set up a blocking position in the city. ”

"the fart, tell him to wait there, raise supplies, bring in the Northern Virginia Legion, we're going to fight Warrenton, I'll let them know if there's a situation."

The western ones are generally worry-free, and the Northern Virginia Legion can reach the Loki Mountain City unimpeded, and the Sherman Legion is placed in the troops of the Northwest Army, so after thinking about it, Yang Dongfang decided to take 2,000 people to the east, judging from the news from Mecklenburg, the people sent by George have already arrived in the troops of the Roanoke River deployed by Sherman.

Thus, the defenders of the city of Roa Nokrapids, upstream of the Loanok River, would certainly be preparing to reconnoiter westward, and reinforcements should have been reinforcing George Gordon Meade, who had been pursuing Robert Lee behind.

In this way, he can find a good place to fight an ambush and continue to destroy the living forces of the Northern Army.

Just do it, he immediately took the two regiments to the east, and soon captured Warrenton, and the scouts sent out ran back to report: "Special envoy, I really made you right, sure enough, there are troops from the North Yankees coming over, these people are not like the soldiers under Grant before, they seem to be the banners of the North Yankees on the Western Front." ”

"Then I didn't run, it's Sherman's troops! Wait and listen to my orders, don't let any of them go, kill them all, dead or alive. ”

Soon the two regiments of the Northern Army appeared in the field of vision, this unit was lightly armed, there was no artillery, no war horses, and Yang Dongfang and others who were ambushed around could still hear the sound of the Northern Army officers shouting to speed up and go to the town in front for lunch.

"Hit!"

A ditch between two mountains is the burial place that Yang Fangdong chose for this group of northern troops, and soon his five artillery guns opened fire, and the shells smashed down, and there was a Gatling on each side of the ditch that sprayed bullets at the fastest speed.

"Boom..!"

"Da Da Da Da .!"

Although the number of this northern army is roughly the same as that of Yang Dongfang, it is only in a disadvantageous position, and it is only passively beaten for a while, but they did not immediately break through and go back, but formed a counterattack in the same place, showing good military quality, after all, they are troops who followed Sherman from Atlanta to fight thousands of miles, and they have a very strong sense of resistance.

However, because of this, the last chance to escape was lost, and the artillery was constantly weakened and surrounded by groups.

The colonel commander of the Northern Army always thought that this was just a Western Front rout under Johnston, who would have thought that the fire was so fierce, and the continuous artillery bombardment did not understand that he was dying at the hands of the Eastern Front troops.

"Sherman's troops are really ruthless." After the battle, an ambush battle, in the case of occupying a favorable position and excellent weapons, also killed and wounded four companies of the party, Yang Dongfang did not have the slightest sense of pride, although the dead were all Americans, not his own guard regiment, and he was not happy.

After resting and cleaning up the battlefield, Yang Dongfang received news from Richard that the Virginia Legion's vanguard division, John Gordon's division, had captured Oxford and was preparing to attack the Sherman army in Rocky Mountain City from the left side of Waterfall Lake as planned.

Robert Lee personally led the main force to revise the plan and attack along Dehan to regain Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, and seek a foothold in North Carolina, because he was worried that James would not be able to hold off George, who had more than 30,000 men, in South Boston, and at the same time, he was afraid that Sherman would be vigilant and would not be able to defeat the Sherman army outside Rocky Mountain City as he wished.

"General Li, this is a lack of confidence!" (To be continued.) )
