Chapter 441: All Trapped!
The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, especially the federal army fought desperately, and after a long time, the things that were protected and the things that were to be destroyed were all fake! Where did the musket come from? Where did the ammunition come from? Where do you get the clothes and medicines?
It's obviously a pile of rotten firewood!
Not only was Morton furious, but even Canaan and Randall were also aggrieved, what a deal, I knew that this batch of supplies was fake, who would have fought to the death here to the end? Grant, you didn't mean three million dollars worth of military supplies? These rags, even mules and horses, are not worth $30,000! The dog said, you can be regarded as a trap for Lao Tzu!
But, after all, it was the officials who crushed people to death, who called Grant the commander-in-chief of the federal army? The two of them are just two regiment leaders, little shrimp!
The two of them are aggrieved, but now they are facing a desperate situation, but they can't be careless, even if it is for their own lives, they must fight to escape from the siege of the rangers.
As for Moulton, if he doesn't understand that this is a trap at this time, he is a complete fool, and the Federation Army has made a bunch of rotten firewood and grass to fool you, naturally it has another purpose, what purpose, it is natural to tempt the rangers to jump into the trap, and then gather and annihilate it.
Morton felt a bad feeling in his heart, retreat, he must retreat immediately! Stay one more minute and you'll have one more layer of danger!
"Immediately give the order, and all the cavalry immediately assemble in the southeast direction and prepare to evacuate!"
Now that the cavalry is within five or six miles of defense, where can Morton's orders be accurately conveyed to the various departments in a short time?
By the time the cavalry gradually gathered together, it was already half an hour later. Randall and Canaan, who had finally broken free from the siege of the cavalry, also breathed a long sigh of relief. In the midst of this more than an hour of fighting. With 3,000 infantry and two regiments, there are less than 1,500 people who can maintain the battle now, and even these people are almost all wounded, and the pressure on the cavalry on the federal army is too great!
"Randall, looks like these Confederate troops are going to run......"
Canaan touched the sweat from his face. Said eagerly.
"Well, I think so, I can't say, this is a trap deployed by General Grant, damn it, it's really hateful to use the strength of our brothers' two regiments as bait!"
Randall is still indignant, damn it, it's too tricky!
"it! , we have suffered heavy casualties. You can't just leave them alone, you have to leave them all behind. We've really done it! ”
"Stay? How do you leave people? They are all cavalry! ”
Canaan said hatefully, "What about the cavalry? Lao Tzu let it go, even if you can't leave all the cavalry, then you have to delay the retreat of the Confederate army as much as possible, if my guess is right, our friendly forces have begun to surround from all directions, as long as they can be dragged back and surrounded by friendly troops, then these damn cavalry of the Confederate army will definitely not escape death! ”
Randall's heart was shocked, yes, Canaan is right, since Grant has deployed such a trap, he is obviously prepared, and now a huge snare has been covered by thousands of cavalry on the opposite side!
"! , fight! Even if there is no one left of the two regiments dead, the rangers will be entangled! If you don't destroy them, Lao Tzu will not be a man! ”
Randall let out a mouthful of spat and roared fiercely.
"Order, everyone immediately attack the cavalry, as long as it can move, press on Lao Tzu, and the rangers must not be allowed to run!"
Canaan then gave the order to fight!
The Federation is attacking the Rangers again!
Yes, at this time, it is obvious that the offensive and defensive posture of the two sides has been reversed, although the Rangers have the absolute upper hand, but where does the current Morton still have the heart to compete with the infantry on the opposite side?
The biggest advantage of the rangers is to raid everywhere with mobility, never fight encounters, today, Moulton gathered three regiments and eleven cavalry battalions, which has never appeared since the outbreak of the civil war, just to destroy this batch of supplies, I didn't expect it to be a trap, which means that the federal army is to force you to fight an encounter, once you fall into a heavy encirclement, the advantage of fast cavalry maneuver is gone!
Morton has no fighting spirit now, so he wants to be able to leave here earlier, and constantly orders to retreat, but the current Federation army is like a chicken, constantly fighting, which also makes Morton furious, resentful, and kill the other party? There is no time, there are still more than 1,000 people, where do you say that you can kill the other party?
Morton could only fight back while retreating to the east!
It's just that if you want to retreat now, it's too late!
Grant was in command, and several brigades were already deployed.
Due east, a brigade of troops was also deployed, and Moulton led the cavalry to retreat a few miles away, and the sound of dense artillery in the opposite direction had already sounded, and the Federation army launched an attack on the cavalry, and the dense shells continued to pour down, and the forward troops of the rangers were hit head-on!
Morton was shocked, it seems that this time it is really going to be unlucky, just listening to this cannon sound, the opponent's strength will not be less than two regiments! If you want to break through other people's defenses, I'm afraid it's too difficult!
Now is definitely not the time to go head-to-head with the Federation Army," ordered, all the departments immediately assaulted in the northeast direction, and jumped out of the enemy's trap first! ”
As soon as Morton gave an order, thousands of cavalry thought about the northeast direction, that is, the flank direction of the Eastern Federation Army, and rushed diagonally! As long as you can get rid of the current state of being attacked by the enemy, then you can reorganize your arms and fight, and your thousands of cavalry may not be the opponent of the opponent's four regiments!
However, Morton obviously underestimated Grant's determination to exterminate them, and to the northeast, Grant still deployed a brigade of troops, and also mobilized artillery to bombard the middle position continuously, and the Rangers were in chaos!
Wipe!
Morton was so angry that he scolded, how many troops did this Grant, the dog say, mobilize in order to kill his own rangers? The artillery pieces in both directions alone are no less than thirty, right? It's almost fatal!
Morton was slammed with bricks again and had to turn around again, but at this time, Morton had already understood that this time Grant was definitely preparing a heavy gift for himself, and he must no longer retreat blindly, he must choose a direction!
