Chapter 309: Which Bastard Invented It

The fire of Cherishil burned mercilessly, and the Federal Navy did not appear for a long time, because the fire in Philadelphia continued wildly, and the nearby towns were also scorched, and most of the civilians who had nowhere to stay poured into the Federal Navy barracks, and there were too many people for them to care.

So I didn't dare to leave the port.

A day later, Daniel commanded the Devil's Legion to continue eastward and northward, sweeping along the right bank of the Delaware Valley, destroying 13 towns along the way, and directly attacking a city called Borretun, 15 kilometers south of Trenton, the capital of New Jersey.

At this time, Trenton was deliberately delayed by Yang Dongfang, and the Federal Army had already mobilized the Navy and Army from New York to garrison, especially the New York Federal Navy river warships drove directly from the Lalitan River through the river area of northeastern New Jersey to Trenton.

At this time, the Trenton area concentrated four regiments of one brigade of the regular army, five regiments of one integrated brigade of the militia, 2,000 men of the federal navy, twenty warships, and fifty cannons, and guarded the Delaware River and the Crosswicks River south of Hamilton.

The two cities are horns of each other, and they are jointly defended and defended. The militia in the northeast has all been drawn here, and the army and militia in the direction of New York will have a brigade being transferred, and the Confederate army will not be allowed to take a step forward.

Holding the battle report from the scouts on the river front, Daniel asked puzzledly: "Special envoy, if we don't delay those days in Philadelphia, now that Trenton has been captured by us, I don't understand that even if we don't fight Trenton, wouldn't it be better to directly capture Wilmington downstream?" ”

Yang Dongfang said with a smile: "General Daniel, Wilmington has long been our meat, it is a matter of time whether to eat it or not, and it is too urgent to eat now, the Federation army attacked Baltimore and took away a lot of materials and ammunition, we went to fight a few days ago just to grab some gold, silver, food, and machinery." What I want more is ammunition, a lot of ammunition, and once the Union Army comes to attack our stronghold in Philadelphia, it will become a place for them to store ammunition, and where we go, we can solve the ammunition that the Northern Virginia Army needs to destroy the Sherman Legion. ”

"I see, I don't know what happened to Baltimore, did the Yankees withdraw their troops from there." Daniel said worriedly, Yang Dongfang nodded: "Fortunately, originally Washington wanted to eat Baltimore to aid Philadelphia, Andrew Johnson forced the order of the military department for a few days, so that the federal army besieging the city may attack for two days, and then stopped the attack, and instead transferred troops to the east, it is estimated that the first batch of federal troops will arrive in Philadelphia tomorrow." ”

"Baltimore's sacrifice is very great, thanks to the envoy your Oriental Regiment, as well as the four Maxims you sent over, otherwise if you change someone else, it will have already been attacked by the Northerners, that envoy, where are we going to attack, or go back to Philadelphia now."

"It was a great sacrifice, and the newly built infantry brigade suffered more than 2,000 direct casualties." Yang Dongfang was also distressed, because their guard regiment also sacrificed two or three hundred people, and the reduction to three battalions was not satisfied.

In the direction of Trenton, he glanced at Yang Dongfang a few times before he said: "Tonight, I will quietly send you to the north bank of the river by boat, and you will take a regiment to quietly attack Philadelphia along the north bank of the Terra River and sweep that small town." I led two regiments to attack the coastal cities to the east, bypassing Trenton for the time being, and heading in the direction of New York.

Inform me if you're under pressure from the Arsenal, I'll come back and take you with me to Baltimore, and from now on you can dismantle the Arsenal's equipment. ”

That night, the two divided their troops, Yang Dongfang took two regiments to continue eastward, and traveled dozens of kilometers in one night, crossing the dense water network in southeastern New Jersey and the population was also small, which the federal army did not expect, until dawn and noon, the northern army saw that there was no southern army on the other side of the river, and there was no intention of attacking the river, so they sent reconnaissance, only to find that the southern army in Bolayton had gone to the empty city.

However, they received the news that the Confederate army had reached the north bank of the Delaware River, so they focused their attention on the territory of Pennsylvania on the other side of Trenton, beware of the Confederate army bypassing from the northwest, and did not expect Yang Dongfang to bypass from the southeast for a while.

It wasn't until a day later, when the towns to the southeast fell one after another, and the Confederate army appeared in Lalitan Bay on the east coast, and five small cities were burned, that the few patrol warships in New York noticed the anomaly.

Of course, the Confederate army appeared on the east coast in a hurry, and immediately disappeared strangely, causing consternation in New York, and a large number of Union troops reinforced here to defend the Laridan River and the Shaoji River.

At the time of the panic in New York, Yang Dongfang had already appeared at the Arsenal north of Philadelphia, and by this time the Union Army returning from Baltimore had begun to attack West Philadelphia, where the Arsenal was located (Philadelphia was not the same as West Philadelphia).

However, the attack was soon repulsed, and the newly produced five Makqin heavy machine guns were set up in the position to make the Northern Army a bloody and fleshy blur, and the guy who was constantly on fire, the Federal Army also saw it for the first time, leaving a corpse on the ground, and did not dare to charge, so he had to ask for artillery.

Taking advantage of this time, Yang Dongfang first flew to Baltimore with a thousand soldiers and half of the technicians of the arsenal.

As soon as they arrived here, Wang Dake and others came to report their work, saying that the loss of the fort was serious, and the offensive of the federal navy was very fierce, and the side had already lost the upper hand, but because of the problem in Philadelphia, most of the navy was transferred away.

After a brief chat, Yang Dongfang asked people to choose a piece of land, and immediately asked people to set up a simple arsenal to specialize in the production of bullets and Makqin.

A day later, he returned to West Philadelphia, and by this time both the Union Navy and several divisions of the Army were ready, and the artillery had been mobilized.

The artillery of the Navy and Army was beaten at the arsenal, but fortunately, the machines were all removed, and there were anti-artillery positions dug earlier, and West Philadelphia was reduced to a sea of fire for a while, and the shelling continued for four hours before stopping, and the inside and outside of the city seemed to be plowed.

It can be seen how angry the Coalition army is, they do not intend to live, let alone take prisoners, because the fire of Philadelphia burned for four days and four nights, and at this time it was reduced to a scorched earth.

One of the three most prosperous cities, the emerging railway shipbuilding base became like this, and the Northern Army could not eat human flesh, so it smashed all the shells it brought over.

"Damn the Devil's Army, let's all die like this!"

"Warriors, attack!"

With a vengeful gaze, the Federal Army finally rushed forward.

"Holy shit, fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I would have suffered a big loss, a place with a big palm, and a cannon for so long."

"Envoy, this bomb shelter is good, right?"

"Envoy! The North is coming, are we going out? ”

"Makqin prepares, let them taste the stun gun again." Yang Dongfang roared: "Enter the trench!" ”

"Hurry. Enter the position and kill the North Yankees! ”

This time, Yang Dongfang concentrated nine Makqins and arranged them in three directions, and the northern army quickly rushed up.

"Bump Bump Bump Bu

In an instant, the fire snake rushed straight up, the bullet chain kept moving, the right went in and the left went out, and the eggshell was sprinkled on the ground, like the notes of the Death Dance, and a piece of gold and copper was particularly dazzling.

And the soldiers of the Northern Army on the opposite side, blood flowers came out from front of them one by one, and the soldiers of one company after another rushed up were killed in an instant without pause. After tasting the taste of Makqin once, the northern army was terrified, and they retreated one after another, and the officers did not dare to attack anymore.

The northern army didn't expect that the southern army in the city was a small strong that could not be killed, the shelling lasted for so long, and the combat effectiveness was twice as strong as yesterday, just this time they lost two more regiments, which made the person in charge sad.

Isn't there a way to fight like this, no wonder you can't kill these guys? Could it be that our heroic soldiers can't break through the position of the southern ghosts, what kind of weapons are these southern ghosts using, and which bastard invented the weapon that is even more fierce than that gatling.

It seems that we will have to continue to bombard and mobilize more shells.

After dark, the day's battle ended, and the southern army successfully stopped the attack and crazy artillery bombardment of the northern army with the loss of three companies, which also made Yang Dong realize that it was really undesirable to fight a war of attrition. (To be continued.) )
