Chapter 276: Bandu strikes again
Four crosses of the Shiban River, and when Sheridan chased after him, Yang Dongfang took people to cross the river again, this time under his nose, the northern army can't have more legs, otherwise they can come to a half-crossing and attack, and fight the southern army once. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This time, Sheridan learned to be obedient, and there was less than one and a half regiments of men and horses left, and he was extremely cautious, not daring to underestimate the enemy carelessly, so he first sent five horsemen to cross the river, and only after making sure that there was no ambush on the south bank did he start crossing the river.
While crossing the river, Sheridan thought that this time it was a big load, and that one division, that is, two cavalry brigades (including a guard company), had been killed by less than 2,000 infantry, and still failed to catch up, and now he was going to become a laughing stock.
"Boom!"
"Da da da..."
"Damn! These little mice even dared to come back. ”
Just when Sheridan on the north bank was still thinking nonsense, the troops on the south bank were attacked, and Yang Dongfang, who had gone and returned, came back with people to kill them, preparing to attack in the next half-crossing.
However, the effect was not good, because half of the Northern Army had crossed the river, and this time there was no need for Sheridan's order, and the Northern Army, which had suffered a day and a night, immediately launched a counterattack.
Even Sheridan smiled and sneered.
"The little mouse is really bold, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he dares to make dangerous moves, he is really tired of being alive."
Soon, Yang Dongfang and others began to show defeat because of the small number of people and the results were not very good, which made the northern army like a chicken blood, and the bullets greeted unceremoniously, just waiting for the opposite southern army to kick a leg, and immediately urged the horse to cover up from behind.
But they were wrong, all the attention of the northern army was on the south bank, half of them crossed the river, a quarter of them were crossing the river, and a quarter were still on the north bank, when suddenly there was a shout of killing behind them, and bullets were fired one after another.
At the same time, shells fell into the water.
"Puff puff .!!"
Neither Sheridan nor the Northern Army expected that someone was attacking behind them, and just now their attention was focused on the south bank, but they didn't know that someone was quietly approaching behind them, and a single attack on the front had already damaged a quarter of their combat effectiveness.
What's more, Sheridan himself and the people who were wading water across the river were trying to return to the north bank, because the number of people who attacked this time was the same as Daniel's, and the fire was more intense.
"Boom!"
A shell smashed into the water, setting off a huge curtain of water and a shock wave, and shrapnel shot everywhere, causing horses and people to fall.
"General! Checkmate! It's not good that the general fell overboard. ”
Ignoring the rain of bullets and the danger of being killed, Sheridan's men rushed over and scooped up Sheridan who had sunk into the water, only to find that the general was injured by the gun, his head was gurgling and bleeding, and the whole person was unconscious.
"Onward! Advance! ”
Having eliminated the Northern Army on the north bank, and with most of the North Crossing Army, Daniel had people rush forward, continue to fire and suppress, and began to shoot at the Northern Army on the south bank.
The northern army on the south bank was also attacked by the enemy across the river, and there were less than four companies left, and it was impossible to break through Yang Dongfang, because at this time Yang Dongfang had abandoned his horse and switched to a sandbag position, and the two Gatlings were withdrawn for their own use, and the firepower was strengthened at once.
Time kept passing, as if a long time had passed, in fact, it was only ten or twenty minutes, the famous general of the Northern Army, Sheridan was killed, the corpses floating on the river surface, the Northern Army on the south bank fought less and less, and finally there were less than two companies, the army's morale collapsed, and it could no longer hold on, so it could only choose a direction to escape and withdraw from the battle, ending the meaningless attack.
Yang Dongfang didn't chase either, let people clean up the battlefield and take Daniel and others across the river.
"Envoy Yang, we have won the battle again, this time we killed Sheridan, we have killed a cavalry division of the Northern Army in total, and it is also an elite division, envoy you are amazing, we only took one day, oh my God, you are really sent by God to help us." After Daniel crossed the river, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, hugged Yang Dongfang and only let someone scold in Chinese: "Let go, let go, brother don't engage in g." ”
"Hooray! Banzai! Long live Envoy Young! ”
"Hooray! Banzai! Long live Envoy Young! ”
All the southern troops cheered, showing the most sincere smile at Yang Dongfang, excited, enthusiastic, arrogant, and longing.
This moment belongs to Yang Dongfang and them, Yang Envoy took them to kill a cavalry division in one day, this honor and achievements are enough to make them proud and excited.
"Hooray! Banzai! Long live all the warriors who sacrificed! Long live all the warriors who participated in the battle! Yang Dongfang also shouted, and more than a thousand southern troops followed: "Long live!" Banzai! Long live all the warriors who sacrificed! Long live us! ”
"Envoy, what are we going to do next?" Daniel asked, and Yang Dongfang replied, "It's not appropriate to stay here, let's get out of here first, let's talk while we go, and you tell me about the situation near Richmond." ”
"Envoy, you want to fight Richmond." Although he won a victory, Daniel was still very sober and felt that it was a bit fantastical and unrealistic to rely on the attrition of 1,700 commandos.
In the tent of the Confederate army, Robert Lee and the generals were receiving a nobleman.
This noble man was Edwood Oso Kresap O, who persuaded them to surrender to Grant.
"General, the situation is obvious, there is no point in you fighting anymore, there is a shortage of food and ammunition on the mountain, you can't support it anymore, if it weren't for peace, we have attacked, you and your subordinates have already shed blood and sacrificed, I think the damn war is at the end, generals, don't let the blood of the soldiers flow in vain, God is merciful, as long as the generals lay down their arms, we can guarantee that we will not pursue and harm any of the soldiers of the Southern Army, including the generals."
John Gordon stood up and said impassionedly: "Edwood, who said that we can't support it, who said that we are short of food and ammunition, we can fight until next year, we have the bravest soldiers, the most warlike generals, and will not be afraid of any invaders, only if your federation withdraws from the south, peace will really come, we will not be defeated if we fight for justice, I don't believe you attack and wipe it." ”
Edwood shook his head: "General Gordon, I admit that you and your subordinates are brave warriors, you did launch a very perfect attack last night, and you also killed and wounded more than 6,000 people in the Federation, but you still can't break through the siege of my 100,000 army, and our Federation still has countless soldiers to fight, and the endless supply of materials, whether it is economic or military power, is enough to crush the Alliance, you have done your best, give up resistance, you have won enough glory, no one will despise and despise you." You are the real heroes. ”
After saying that, Edwood saluted very respectfully and threw a very gentlemanly smile.
I have to say that Edwood's words are still infectious, and they are effective for some people, the war has been fought for four years, and some people are tired of it, if they can end the battle with such a glorious hundred, it can be regarded as a very face-saving and embarrassing price.
Yes! We didn't lose, we only lost to the allied government, we are still heroes.
This moment even Robert Lee was a little loose and held high, and this moment he recalled the four years of war, which had destroyed everything, and the South was in ruins, and there was no way to fight.
But just as he continued to ponder, someone walked in, holding the battle report written by Daniel in his hand and said excitedly: "Good news, good news! We have won another great victory, Sheridan was killed, one of his cavalry divisions was annihilated by our army, and we have no need to fear the cavalry of the Federation. (To be continued.) )
