Chapter 269: Kill the Brigadier General

"Keep shelling!"

"Adjust the next angle and give me a bang in Zone B!"

Soon, the New People's Army aimed at the cavalry that rushed forward on the right and at the front. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Boom, boom, boom.!"

The cavalry that rushed to the front in an instant was also covered with artillery fire, men and horses flew with horses, a piece of gunpowder smoke and high mud and dust, blood and water fell from the sky, and there was a wail.

"Even-bought karma! The Orientals fought too well. ”

"Yes! How did they do it, hit it so accurately. ”

"Look, it's here again!"

The southern army on the city wall looked stupid.

In the third concentrated artillery bombardment, the few remaining cavalry of the Northern Army on the right rushed to the handle area with red eyes, thinking that they could show their lives, break through the artillery coverage, enter the position, and give full play to the cavalry advantage, the artillery angle of the New People's Army was adjusted again.

It's been concentrated in that area again.

This time, the cavalry on the left side of the Northern Army was basically wiped out, and the remaining dozens of cavalry were no longer a threat, and they were so frightened that they fled back.

"Well done! Orientals still have some skills. ”

"The left side is blocked, but unfortunately the right side is not working, and you can see that the North Yankees on the left have rushed to the front, and they have opened fire."

Sure enough, the 1,000 cavalry of the Northern Army on the right rushed over, and at a distance of less than a kilometer, they instantly reached 800 meters, and the cavalry began to shoot.

The bullets reached their maximum range and hit the sandbags on the right side of the New People's Army.

At this time, it was a little late to transfer the cannon.

"Fight for honor, kill!"

Seven hundred meters! Six hundred meters! Five hundred meters!

The New People's Army did not move, all the men on the left were transferred to the right, and some of the people who operated the artillery also picked up their guns and lay down in the trenches behind.

Four hundred meters!

The cavalry has been roaring, more American bullets have hit, the northern army seems to have seen the victory, let out cheers, many recruits have not seen this formation, so they are a little scared, the cavalry is getting closer and closer, and the impact is naturally stronger.

Three hundred meters!

"Hit!"

Finally, the New People's Army fought back.

The two Gatlings swept past, and four hundred bullets in a minute were fired in a fan-shaped arc, instantly driving the cavalry in the front row to more than a hundred and ten people, and they fell off their horses one after another.

At the same time, the rifles in the hands of one battalion also opened fire, and the breech-loading guns of the other battalions also pulled the trigger.

Swift and efficient, the continuous fire network covered the past, and in an instant, the cavalry of the Northern Army rushed to 180 meters, and the Northern Army was unable to continue, and the offensive was stifled.

"Damn! Where did the yellow-skinned monkey get such strong firepower. George Stallman Jr. took out his pistol and fired, and his men continued to urge their horses forward very heroically, but another Gatling swept over, and in an instant thirty or fifty more people fell, and a large number of bullets burrowed into the ground with a poof.

"General, are we still going to attack? The enemy is strong. ”

Seeing that the soldiers below were hit by crazy bullets one by one, and the commanders were dripping blood, George Stallman Jr. also knew that withdrawing from the battle now was the best option, but he didn't do it, first, he was unwilling to lose in the hands of the Easterners, he felt that it was a shame, and second, he wanted to delay time.

Because 2,000 infantry went around to the south of the city and began to attack the city of Indianapolis.

"Not good! The North Yankees have come to take the city, damn it, these despicable guys actually took advantage of the duel to sneak attack. ”

Soon, the two thousand original defenders forced into the city gate with strong firepower, well-trained, and experienced combat, and the southern army in the city had just released the prisoner camp.

In a short time, the city gate was breached, allowing the northern army to attack the city.

"Damn! Don't be a prisoner, give me the gun, and I'll fight them. ”

Although the city was broken and broken, the southern army still fought back heroically, and did not let the city fall into the hands of the northern army in an instant, because the southern army is not a fool, and the combat effectiveness of the new people's army is there, as long as you hold on, and wait for the easterners to come back, you will naturally be able to recapture the city.

"Attack! Annihilate this group of cavalry for me! ”

However, to the disappointment of the Southern Army, Wang Dake and others did not return to the city at the first time, but rushed out of the trenches to attack the remnants of George Stallman Jr.

"Damn! This commander division does not act according to common sense! We withdraw. ”

George Stallman Jr. saw the New People's Army rushing over, Cheng Liangyi outflanked, where did he dare to stay longer, he didn't dare to fight harder anymore, and immediately ordered to retreat.

However, they had just turned around, and the bullets on the opposite side flew one after another, and the New People's Army knelt down to shoot with extremely high accuracy.

Many of the Northern Army wearing officer uniforms all fell, and the New People's Army had good traditional marksmanship and beat officers.

George Stallman Jr., riding his horse and not going ten meters away, screamed in pain, and a bullet fell from the back to the center room.

"Not good! The general was shot! ”

Some of George Stallman's own soldiers jumped down and quickly helped him onto his horse, but then they were also hit by bullets and fell down one by one.

In the end, more than 80 cavalrymen escaped intact, and the rest were killed.

George Stallman Jr.'s cavalry was killed, and when the northern army that rushed into the city heard this, they immediately withdrew from the city without staying long.

The city of Indianapolis is back in the hands of the New People's Army.

The southern army no longer dared to despise them this time, and burst into warm applause, solemnly saluted, and welcomed them into the city.

Killed a brigadier general at one time, which is remarkable, and there are not many brigadier generals killed in so many battles in the southern army, especially the cavalry.

You must know that just now, they were all killed and wounded more than 1,000 people while defending the city, while the New People's Army only suffered more than a dozen casualties.

The battle loss ratio alone is worth learning and admiring.

After all, it is more important to save your life than to win.

A day later.

Prince Edward County!

Robert Lee of Richmond was hastily scattered from Petersburg to a nameless hill, and was chased and beaten by Grant's Northern Army all the way and was trapped in the mountains.

If you want food without food, you want ammunition without ammunition.

Twenty-nine thousand people were still fighting as trapped beasts, Robert Li was extremely vicissitudes, the white silk was getting more and more day by day, and the bald forehead seemed to be getting further and further back, at this time like a little old man, looking at the northern army under the mountain, sighing from time to time, and making the final struggle in his heart.

"Commander-in-Chief! All the commanders and divisions are here. ”

Robert Lee then stood up, cheered up, came to the headquarters, walked past the commanders, and carefully examined them one by one, feeling guilty, and more reluctant.

"Commander-in-Chief! I heard that the North Yankees are going to send someone to persuade them to surrender, and we haven't been defeated yet, general! ”

"To the General! We haven't lost yet, we can't surrender to Grant! ”

Half of the generals became excited, and the other half bowed their heads in silence.

"But if we don't surrender, we will starve to death, the soldiers have not eaten for two days, and we have no ammunition to continue the war, how to fight next, the city is occupied by the Northerners."

"Then we can divide our troops into the mountains to fight guerrillas, so that we can rely on the people to eat, and we can capture them without ammunition."

Anyway, soon, there were constant disputes in the command, and the capitulation faction and the diehards quarreled, and Robert Lee was a little upset when he heard it, coughed, and said in a deep voice: "Needless to say, God is not on our side, I don't think the war needs to continue. ”

Just as Robert Lee was about to say he was going to surrender to Grant, a violent explosion sounded in the distance.

A lieutenant colonel ran in: "Commander-in-chief, there was an explosion in the Beiyan army under the mountain, and the Northern army suffered countless casualties, and a group of people rushed back and forth on their position, and they rushed towards our mountain." ”

"What!"

"Let's go! Go out and check it out! ”

Everyone rushed out, took out the binoculars, and sure enough, they saw dozens of fast horses rushing out of the enemy's position, constantly turning around and shooting, hitting the northern army to the ground one after another, but more northern troops chased out angrily, but they were soon left behind.

Everyone was puzzled for a while, waiting for these dozens of fast horses to rush up the mountain. (To be continued.) )
