PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
Receiving a satisfactory answer, the Confederate lieutenant colonel happily returned to the Confederate barracks in Richmond.
Guo Ye and the others returned to the office and held a military meeting again.
Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Did you understand what I just said?" Remember, if you want to keep Richmond, you must first destroy the artillery positions of the Confederate army, their two artillery battalions, at most more than forty guns, as long as there is no artillery to help, they lose strong fire support, there Shiman is as stable as Mount Tai; Surely you will lead your cavalry battalion to the back of the Confederate army and give me out their artillery positions! Remember, bring more grenades, at least ten for each person, a few thousand grenades, enough to flatten the artillery positions of the Confederate Army! Xiao Hai, Gao Qi, with the infantry battalion and artillery battalion, went straight to the east city of Richmond and attacked the right flank position of the Confederate army in the southern city! Hao Nan, leave twenty people to sit in the arsenal with me, and show the captives to Lao Tzu, why do we still rely on them to make money! ”
Guo Ye's orders were conveyed one after another, and the training army of more than 1,000 people began to act, but Guo Ye did not let them rush to send troops, now the sky is still bright, Richmond is surrounded by scouts from the Confederate army, and if they go out rashly, they will definitely startle the snake, and at night, night is the best time to kill people and set fires!
Guo Ye's arrogant strategy is still very effective, and Princeton, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Confederate Army, got the news brought back by the lieutenant colonel, and his heart finally settled down, not bad. Guo Ye is a businessman. Earning money is the first goal. As for the North and the South, what does it have to do with who wins and who loses? Angering the Confederate Army, directly mobilizing the strength of a brigade, you can steadily raze the Colt Arms Company to the ground!
Such risks and costs are not something that an arms company can afford.
Now that a tacit agreement has been reached with Guo Ye's army, what else is there to say, concentrate all your efforts to take down Richmond, as for the rest of the matter, Richmond is already under control. Are you still afraid that Guo Ye will not give in?
Princeton gave an order, gathered all the forces of the Fifth Division, and began a frantic offensive against Richmond, vowing to take Richmond completely before dusk tomorrow!
The so-called Tao is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, and both of them have a little Jiujiu in their hearts, but, undoubtedly, Guo Ye's little Jiujiu is more calculated. The Confederates were doomed.
It was eleven o'clock in the evening, and it was pitch black in the field.
Luo Bicheng led the cavalry battalion. Under the guidance of Walcott, he went straight to the artillery position of the Confederate army, all the way was smooth, and now all the energy of the Confederate army has been put on the city of Richmond, for Guo Ye's army, even if he has a trace of vigilance, he can no longer take care of it, even if Guo Ye really sneaks up, with the size of the Confederate army now, he can resist it.
The cavalry battalion touched a position less than two kilometers away from the Confederate position, and at this time, the Confederate scouts realized that something was wrong, where did the cavalry come from?
The suspicious scout hurried to deliver a letter to Princeton, but at this time, the delivery was obviously over.
A distance of two kilometers, for cavalry, is a matter of the blink of an eye.
Luo Bicheng shouted: "Order, the whole army charges!" ”
The slowly moving cavalry suddenly accelerated and launched a surprise attack on the Confederate army, at this time the main force of the Confederate army had all pressed the position in front, desperately attacking the pillbox of the Richmond Union army, and the defense behind was almost empty.
On the artillery position, the Confederate officers and men had not yet understood what was going on, and hundreds of cavalry had already rushed to the artillery position and began a wanton massacre!
In a hurry, the guard company that was ordered to protect the artillery positions was crushed by a single blow, and there was no way to organize a frantic offensive of the cavalry, and the killed fell into the water!
Princeton in front had just gotten the news and had not had time to react, and there were already explosions on the artillery positions behind!
The cavalry constantly threw cluster grenades under the artillery, and some even stuffed the grenades directly into the chamber of the artillery, and the continuous explosions have caused all the artillery on the artillery position to lie down, and even the barrel of the cannon has been blown up, and some of the barrels have been directly blown into two, and all 20 guns have been destroyed!
As for the artillerymen on the position, they were unarmed, they didn't even have a rifle, how could they resist the attack of the cavalry, and they were constantly harvesting their lives by the bright swords, like birds and beasts.
Princeton only reacted at this time, he was fooled, he was definitely fooled, this damn Guo Ye, he was so cunning, they actually dispatched cavalry, and they even carried explosives, my artillery, my artillery battalion!
Princeton was thunderous, his distressed heart was dripping blood, and without the help of artillery, it would be difficult to storm Richmond again!
"Guo Ye, Guo Ye! Lao Tzu is inseparable from you! Lao Tzu must take revenge! ”
Princeton immediately ordered the mobilization of a regiment of troops in an attempt to rescue the artillery position and leave the cavalry battalion on the artillery position, but Luo Bicheng is not a fool, since the establishment of the cavalry, Luo Bicheng is the commander of the cavalry, and he is extremely proficient in the combat of the cavalry, and under the guidance of Guo Ye, he has made rapid progress.
Even where would he, who was superior or inferior in cavalry, give Princeton a chance to counterattack, now that all the artillery on the artillery positions has been scrapped, the artillery has also been cut to pieces, and the entire artillery battalion has been completely finished, who will stay here and wait for Princeton's wrath?
Luo Bicheng gave an order, and the cavalry retreated quickly to the south, the Confederate army was all infantry, where could they catch up with the four-legged war horse? I had to go home in a huff!
Princeton still didn't give up, cursing Guo Ye angrily, and at the same time ordered to inspect the losses of the artillery battalion.
It didn't take long for the losses to be reported, twenty artillery pieces, only one of them was left and could barely be used, the others needed to be overhauled before they could participate in the war, and even some of them could not even be repaired, so they could only be scrapped directly.
Princeton hated it so much that the chief of staff on the side suddenly said: "General, we can't wait like this, Guo Ye sent cavalry to sneak attack our artillery position, so is the artillery position in Xicheng safe?" Will they continue to sneak up on our positions in the West Side? ”
Princeton was shocked, yes, it was only less than twenty miles from here to the position of the West City, and if the cavalry were to kill the West City in a roundabout way, the Confederate army would be defenseless, but it would be a big bad luck!
"Immediately send a letter to General Reeves in Xicheng, ask him to closely protect the artillery positions behind, and find an opportunity to kill the opponent's cavalry for me!"
