This battle went so smoothly that even Guo Ye himself had always expected that it would take him more than two days to completely defeat the other party, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth!

Although Sturridge is a fierce general, although the Southern Army has good combat strength, but without any mental preparation at all, it encountered a sudden attack by the Federal Army, this battle was fought too suddenly, and the Southern Army could not be used at all on the narrow road, even if it wanted to open the width of the war, it was not something that could be completed in an instant.

For Guo Ye, the coordination of infantry, artillery and cavalry optimizes the combat power of the federal army to the greatest extent and gives full play to their respective advantages!

War is like this, the strength on the surface may not be able to determine the final victory in the end, there are too many factors that determine the direction of the battlefield, and it is even full of chance, when Sturridge loses all his advantages step by step and abandons his martial arts, his demise is doomed.

Guo Ye's harvest is too rich, in this battle, the Southern Army killed more than 10,000 people, seriously injured more than 4,000 people, and captured more than 10,000 people, including many wounded artillerymen, tens of thousands of prisoners, it won't take long to enrich them all into the federal army, these are all well-trained Confederate troops, much more powerful than those recruits newly recruited by the federal government!

It took a whole day for Guo Ye to clean up the battlefield and lead the victorious army back to Richmond!

Once and again, the total time spent on it did not exceed four days!

When Grant heard the news, he sat on the chair in shock, speechless for a long time, how did this Guo Ye grow up? Seven brigades of new troops, facing the strength of the opponent's six brigades, in just one day and one night, completely defeated Sturridge's two divisions! More than 10,000 enemy soldiers were killed, more than 10,000 prisoners were captured, and 4,000 were seriously wounded, and only a few thousand southern troops escaped this catastrophe!

This is a god-like general, an absolute god-like general!

"Hurry, hurry up, gather all the celebrities in the military, politics and business circles of Richmond, I want to hold a grand celebration for General Guo Ye, a grand celebration!"

Grant was a little crazy, and at the same time full of shame, more than half a month ago, he could mobilize four or five brigades to besiege a cavalry brigade of the Southern Army, but the result was that the other party was not left behind, and was successfully broken out by others, and now, seven brigades against six brigades, prepared in a hurry, and in one day and one night, the battle was over, and almost the whole army of Sturridge was defeated!

Never since the Southern Rebellion has the Federal Government achieved such a major victory, an absolute victory, a complete victory! Such a victory was achieved in Richmond under absolute danger and crisis!

If it rests on himself, he will never dare to imagine, and he will definitely not have the courage to dare to come out and attack the two divisions of the southern army in the southeast with all his might! Because, I am not sure that I can defeat others in a short time, once Richmond is besieged and encounters a two-sided attack from others, then the loss is not only a Richmond, but even my own commander-in-chief will be lost!

"General Guo, high, really high, it's amazing!"

Seeing Guo Ye and the others coming over, Grant rushed over directly, shouted loudly and hugged Guo Ye tightly, and turned around in place before putting it down.

"Hehe, General Grant, you're too polite, a fluke, a complete fluke......"

Guo Ye said politely!

Grant shook his head excitedly and said, "Luck? Definitely not a fluke! From this day on, I finally know that there is no void under the fame, and for five hundred years, I think that there is absolutely no one who can compare with your military talent, except for Napoleon back then! You are the Napoleon of the East for what you deserve! ”

Gao Qi on the side pouted and said, "General Grant, which one is Napoleon?" Can he still be as powerful as our big brother? What is the Napoleon of the East? Our eldest brother is Guo Ye, the only Guo Ye in the world! He, Napoleon, was not convinced, and could completely pull out the yo-yo! Lao Tzu beat him all over the ground looking for teeth! ”

"Gao Qi!"

Guo Ye shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about!" A victory that makes you unable to find the north? There is still a hard battle to fight in the future! ”

Gao Qi was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

Grant was slightly embarrassed, and then smiled: "General Guo, General Gao is right, I lost my words, but this big victory is definitely a big victory that the federal army has never achieved, and after this battle, the southern army will definitely be broken!" Haha, I've prepared a grand celebration dinner for you, let's celebrate for you! ”

Guo Ye smiled and shook his head, and replied: "General Grant, it is better to postpone at this time, you must know that our west and south sides will face the attack of the Southern Army at any time, although we defeated Sturridge's two divisions, but the opponent's strength is still above ours, this battle, although we won completely, but there are still two or three thousand casualties, my Sixth Army also needs to seize the time to rest, otherwise, in the face of the next round of offensive of the Southern Army, we will suffer a big loss!" ”

Grant smiled: "General Guo, no, the current strength of the three divisions of the Southern Army on the west side, plus the cavalry of one division on the south side, although the strength is above us, but we have Richmond as a barrier, this battle, even if we can't win, we can definitely keep Richmond from losing, not to mention that our follow-up reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible, my telegram has been sent to all departments, and soon, reinforcements from other sides will march in the direction of Richmond!" ”

Guo Ye said with a smile: "General Grant, the former we failed to besiege the Rangers, and there are still many Rangers in the vast area behind Richmond, and they will definitely do their best to block our reinforcements, even if it is to delay the reinforcements." As for the Southern Army at Fort Kslee, it will reach Richmond in the early morning of the day after tomorrow at most, and the Southern Cavalry Division will reach Richmond as soon as tomorrow night. General Grant, are you sure we don't need to prepare for battle? ”

Forehead......

Grant smiled awkwardly and replied: "General Guo, I'm so excited, okay, it's up to you, the celebration party will be canceled, tonight, our headquarters will discuss the next operational deployment, and after we have repelled all the Southern troops, we will celebrate your achievements together, and I have asked President Lincoln for instructions, asking the federal government to award you the official title of first-class general!" From today onwards, you will be not only a general of China, but also a general of our America! (To be continued.) )
