In a forest nearly two miles from the battlefield, the horses were hidden in the dense forest, and the cavalrymen on the horses were all staring nervously ahead, and with nervousness there was a longing, that is, a desire for battle and victory.

We will win the war!

This was a promise made by Sheldon to his cavalry before setting out that they would soon win the battle and return home in glory.

For Sheldon, a young general who was known for his defeat of the Confederate army again and again, he knew that the war would be over if his cavalry swept the Confederate army from the flank and effectively pursued the defeated enemy army.

Soon, they will take Richmond!

"General, the Confederates have left their line of defense!"

For the first time, when he learned that Piget had led his troops out of the defensive line, Sheldon, knowing that the other side had been fooled, ordered his troops to wait.

The second time, when it was learned that Pigett had thrown a regiment into the battle to attack the flank of the Fifth Army, Sheldon still ordered to wait in the face of the unstoppable cavalry.

For Sheldon, the time is not yet ripe, and the decisive moment has not yet arrived, so he must wait!

Despite the rumbling of artillery in the distance, Sheldon's seemed quiet, he just quietly looked into the distance, waiting for that moment to come.

When the scout rider kept bringing Pickett's movements, Sheldon even yawned a little boredly, his ease made the cavalry around him look very relaxed, as if it was a camping, it would be an extremely easy battle!

"General, the Southerners have thrown all their troops into the flanks of the Fifth Army!"

Finally, that moment came out of the mouth of the scout rider, and after learning this information, Sheldon did not hesitate in the slightest, his eyes burst into a strange look, and he looked into the distance and drew his saber, and then said.

"All...... Offensive! ”

The cavalry led by Sheldon is not like the cavalry of Europe, lined up in a neat line, their ranks look a little messy, in fact, they simply look down on the neat queues listed by the cavalry of Europe, after all, during the Mexican War, the American cavalry defeated the Mexican cavalry trained by the French with revolvers, and the neat ranks of the Mexican cavalry were just corpses under the muzzle of the revolver.

And now, the cavalry led by Sheldon is all armed with two transfer revolvers, which means that each of them can fire 12 rounds at the enemy, so that they can easily tear apart the resistance of the Southerners......

At the beginning, Sheldon's cavalry was not fast, just walking slowly, but the speed of the cavalry was constantly increasing, although Sheldon despised the neat queue of European cavalry, but he still obeyed the control of cavalry pace, only from fast pace to charge, this is a process.

The speed of the cavalry grew faster and faster, and by the time the gunfire on the flanks of the Fifth Army was about to dissipate, Sheldon's cavalry had begun to charge, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves echoed through the heavens and the earth like summer thunder.

On the battlefield where the smoke of gunfire gradually cleared, through the faint smoke, Pickett, who had just accepted the surrender of the Yankees, seemed to see a troop of cavalry, and the faint shadow and the deafening sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.

Cavalry!

Obviously, this is by no means a cavalry of the South!

It's the cavalry of the Yankees!

The cavalry that suddenly appeared on the battlefield made the southern officers and soldiers who had not yet had time to cheer for victory look into the distance in horror, and they could hardly believe their eyes.

Yankee's cavalry?

How did they get here?

The mighty cavalry suddenly rushed into the battlefield, waving the cavalry knife in the cold light of the sun in the hands on horseback. Cavalrymen with rifles on their backs charged. The horse teams that suddenly rushed to the battlefield were divided into more than a dozen groups, but each group was orderly and well-organized. Dozens of horsemen in each line, and the riders wielded cavalry swords in their hands.

This is not a cavalry regiment, not a cavalry division!

Rather, it was a huge cavalry corps consisting of two cavalry divisions. Perhaps, this was the largest cavalry charge in this war!

Nearly 10,000 war horses galloped on the ground, raising overwhelming dust, and the cavalry rushed mightily in the dust. Tens of thousands of war horses galloped in the dust clouds, and thousands of cavalry knives as thin as willow leaves were staggered in the air, at this moment, it seemed to give people the illusion of thousands of horses galloping and fairy clouds rolling.

When the deafening sound of horses' hooves came from far and near. It was enough to make anyone shudder, when these cavalrymen rushed towards them with a heart-pounding roar bursting from their throats brandishing their cavalry swords. Looking at the cavalry approaching like a wave, Pickett found that his pistol palm was sweating, and his throat was also astringent and sticky. He himself didn't even notice that his legs trembled slightly, people have always been like this, they don't feel fear of the infantrymen who charge in, but they have a natural fear of the galloping horses.

Even as a general, when faced with all this, he also had a heartfelt fear, and his fear was not only because of the impact on tens of thousands of cavalry, but more importantly - he suddenly had an awareness - failed!

From the moment the Yankees' cavalry rushed over like hellish demons, he knew that it was all over!

And not just this battle, but even the country!

If there was a regret medicine in this world, Piget would definitely buy it at any cost, but now he regrets it, in addition to fear, the whole person is immersed in that boundless remorse.

Defeated!

Everything is irretrievable!

Pigett didn't even know what he was supposed to do, he just knew that it was all over, that he had ruined the country he loved with his own hands!

Perhaps, this is fate!

Piget thought to his chagrin.

"General, General......"

The shouts of the subordinates on the side made Picket quickly come back to his senses,

"Now, what do we do now?"

What to do?

Do you want to surrender here?

No!

Fight! We have to fight!

"Whole team, whole team, we must hold off the Yankees' cavalry, for the Confederate States of America! For the sake of our loved ones......"

While Pickett was giving the order loudly, many officers spontaneously gave orders to set the ruler.

"Eight hundred yards of rulers, guns raised...... Aim for ......"

In this great tension, the soldiers adjusted their rulers according to the orders of the officers, and when they aimed their guns, everyone could not help but sweat on their foreheads, and sweat was burning in the palms of each of them, and although their hearts trembled slightly, no one chose to flee. The reason why no one ran away was not because of how brave they were, but because they had no choice.

Live or die!

These soldiers of the Southern Army, who had not yet had time to enjoy the joy of victory, raised their rifles, they aimed at the rushing cavalry, and when they desperately pulled the trigger there with the officer's order, suddenly, some sharp eyes saw that on the right side of those cavalry, at some point, suddenly "scurried" out of dozens of carriages, and those carriages were all light carriages pulled by four horses without exception, and the speed of the carriages was extremely fast, even exceeding those war horses.

"What's that?"

Pickett looked in amazement at the carriage that suddenly burst into battle.

"It's Chinese!"

I don't know who suddenly screamed, and from the flags flying from the carriages, people recognized the identity of those carriages, which were Chinese carriages.

Not only did Piget see it, but Sheldon also saw it, he did not directly participate in the charge, he just observed the battlefield on the slope at the edge of the forest, and just when he realized that the war would end at this moment, he did not expect that the Chinese would suddenly appear here.

"Carriage? What do they want to do? ”

Carriage......

Slowly, he seemed to remember a rumor - a fire-breathing carriage!

It was a rumor from the Qing nobles in exile in New York, who mentioned that the rebels had a kind of carriage with a weapon that would shoot continuously.

"That's the equivalent of a hundred people shooting at the same time!"

It's just a joke! All those who have heard this story will think so, and in their opinion, this is nothing more than an excuse that the Qing nobles are looking for there to cover up their incompetence.

However, what happened to the British after the Sino-British War led people to believe that it was not a joke. The Chinese do have a weapon that can shoot continuously, a weapon with ten barrels, a weapon like that, equivalent to an infantry company shooting.

But the British have never captured it, and even now, the Chinese have not sold this weapon to the outside world, it is a secret weapon.

"Could it be that the Chinese brought it here?"

As if to support Sheldon's speculation, suddenly, tongues of fire erupted from behind the four-horse carriages, which were more than a foot long, and the gunfire was as rapid as firecrackers. The northern cavalry, who were galloping on their horses, did not even have time to react quickly, but they were shrouded in a dense rain of bullets, and one by one the war horses continued to fall to the ground as if they had hit a tripping horse, and then tripped more war horses.

The machine gunner, who operated the six-year machine gun, just pressed the trigger and fired at the northern cavalry with a long point, the elbow on the right side of the machine gun kept jumping, and one after another brass shells ejected from under the steel receiver under the thick cooling water cylinder on the gun body. Compared to the Gatling gun, the biggest advantage of this machine gun is that it only needs one person to operate, when the heavy presses down the firing plate, the machine gun will start firing, and the canvas cartridge belt will constantly supply the necessary bullets for shooting.

Like the six-year rifle, the expensive machine gun, which costs up to $867 each, is a top-secret new weapon, and only a few elite troops are now equipped with it, while most armies are armed with electric or manual Gatling guns. Now this new machine gun, just put into the battlefield, the effect is far beyond everyone's imagination.

The crisp and rapid sound of gunfire echoed in the air, dense like the scythe of death, constantly sweeping over the cavalry of the US army, harvesting their lives, twenty-four horse-drawn carriages carrying twenty-four of the latest six-year-style machine guns, in just one minute, they fired as many as tens of thousands of bullets, those bullets set off a bloody storm in the cavalry of the US army, in the dense rain of bullets, hundreds of horses, cavalry were knocked to the ground, the flying blood mist, It even dyed the dust raised by the cavalry when it charged red.

That's a red blood mist!

Red soot!

Everyone was stunned, almost no one believed what they saw, and the southern infantry, who had thought they were going to die, were equally stunned, they even forgot to shoot, forgot about the danger, and just looked in amazement at the cavalry of the falling Yankees,

Death!

Almost all of us have such a thought in our hearts!

It's a ...... No, a bunch of Grim Reaper!

A group of Grim Reapers, pulled by carriages, rushed out of the ground, and now these Grim Reapers, who are wantonly slaughtering those northerners!

Banzai!

Long live the Chinese!

I don't know who shouted first, and in an instant, the entire battlefield was full of jubilation, and those southern soldiers who thought they were going to die were all howling excitedly, and they suddenly realized that they had survived, and they would not die here today!

Because the Grim Reaper is on their side today!

Under this awareness, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Southern Army kept pulling the trigger on the cavalry of the Yankees, even if the cavalry of the Yankees rushed in front of them, they would firmly meet the cavalry impact of the Yankees with bayonets, and now, for them, there was no fear at all, they believed that death was on their side, and they would definitely win the victory.

And for Sheldon on the slope, his face was pale, he could hardly believe what he saw, his lips were even trembling slightly, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

How so?

Victory is coming, but why, why is this happening?

And more importantly - this is a weapon? Despite the constant sound of gunfire in the distance, Sheldon could still see tongues of fire spewing from behind the wagons, and the "fire dragon" wagons, as if they didn't need to be reloaded, kept firing at his cavalry, and although many of the cavalry began to turn to them and charge, they couldn't catch up with the wagons at all, and even more cavalry fell in pursuit of them.

It's over!

Suddenly, this thought came to Sheldon's heart, although it was only 24 carriages, when he saw the Southerners organize a defensive line, and saw the Southerners resisting the cavalry attack like angry lions without flinching, he knew that it was all over.

At least today, they can't win this battle!
