Richmond City.

The training army of the federal army and Guo Ye has gathered in the city, and even Guo Ye has been invited to the headquarters by the federal government army.

"Dear General Guo, I, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Federal Government Army, McMullen, on behalf of our commander-in-chief, General Grant, would like to express my sincere gratitude to you, without you, Richmond would definitely fall, you are the benefactor of the 300,000 people here in Shiman!"

Mark Malen, the commander of the Fifth Division, gave Guo Ye a hug and shouted excitedly.

Guo Ye smiled faintly and said: "General McMullen, it's still a little too early to be so excited, you must know that the remnants of the Confederate army have not been withdrawn, and they still have five or six thousand troops together, if you are a little careless, this good situation may be buried!" “

McMullen smiled and said: "General Guo, don't worry, the current commander-in-chief of the Confederate army is seriously injured, and the Confederate army has no leader, and it is impossible to attack again!" ”

Guo Ye glanced at McMullen in surprise and said with a smile: "Oh? I didn't expect that your government army still had such strength, and not only did it inflict heavy losses on the Confederate army, but even almost killed the leader of the other party! ”

McMullen's face turned red and said embarrassedly: "It wasn't us who did it, ahem, this was done by the warrior you accepted, who cut off the right arm of the opposing division commander Princeton with a knife, but if he didn't run fast, his life would be thrown away!" ”

Guo Ye looked at Luo Bicheng. Luo Bicheng said proudly: "Not bad. Eldest brother. I just killed this kid, a conspicuous military uniform, too burnt, and there were two golden beans embedded in the collar, just a little bit......"

Golden Beans ......

Guo Ye said angrily: "What do you call golden beans?" It was someone's epaulette, symbolizing that the other party was a general, just like General McMullen, a native hat. Damn, don't embarrass Lao Tzu! ”

Luo Bicheng smiled, stopped talking, was scolded by the eldest brother, and was not ashamed, so he scolded and scolded......

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Well, General McMullen, we have a saying in China, which is called cutting the grass and not eradicating the roots, and there will be troubles in the future." It is advisable to chase after the poor and make persistent efforts. Taking advantage of the instability of their army, they attacked with all their strength and defeated all the opponents in one fell swoop, and Shiman was truly safe there......"

McMullen replied with a smile: "General Guo Ye, I am committed to the five-body body that you admire, and I ask you to personally command the next battle!" ”

Guo Ye shook his head and replied: "General McMullen, after all, I was only hired by your government, and I only have more than 1,000 troops, less than half of your troops, and I am not familiar with the geography of the United States, so please come." ”

McMullen was no longer polite, after all, he was the nominal commander-in-chief of the non-federal government army, the commander of the Fifth Division.

McMullen shouted: "Order, the 13th Brigade and the 14th Brigade will launch a fierce attack on the Confederate army from the front, and the artillery battalion and General Guo's artillery battalion will carry out fire suppression and launch a full-scale offensive. ”

Guo Ye frowned and asked, "General McMullen, although my cavalry battalion is strong in combat and can annihilate the living forces of the Confederate army to the greatest extent by covering it from behind, we can't wipe it out in one fell swoop, and once they make a comeback, they will pose a huge threat to Richmond......"

McMullen smiled bitterly: "General Guo, it's not that I don't want to wipe it out in one fell swoop, it's just that the Confederate army still has an army of five or six thousand people, and the strength is not as good as ours, if it weren't for the existence of artillery, I don't think I would have launched a frontal attack, and it is un......realistic to want to annihilate it in one fell swoop."

McMullen is right, if a snake swallows an elephant, if you are not careful, you will be strangled to death by an elephant!

Guo Ye shook his head and replied: "General McMullen, the Confederate army seems to be strong, but in fact, it is already vulnerable, the former is under the city of Richmond, fighting for several days, it is already exhausted, and now there are even defeats, even their commander is seriously wounded, and he has no intention of fighting, as long as our cannons sound, the Confederate army will inevitably flee in panic, where is there still any need for us to do our best, as you said, the Confederate army still has five or six thousand people, if we are allowed to rout, we will just pursue from behind, Even if the cavalry battalion is able to fight, hundreds of people will not be able to annihilate it all, but if we set up troops to intercept the defeat of the Confederate army first, the Confederate army will definitely not be able to escape our snare! ”

McMullen wondered, "Really? General Guo, this is not a joke, can we really annihilate the Confederate army? ”

Guo Ye said with a smile: "There is not one left, it's not realistic, but as long as it is properly deployed, there will definitely be no one in the Confederate Army!" It's up to us to deploy! ”

McMullen hurriedly asked, "General Guo, please advise!" ”

Guo Ye asked, "General McMullen, may I ask, if the Confederate army escapes, which path will they take?" ”

McMullen picked up his baton, pointed to the military map, and said: "General Guo, please see, the closest to the Confederate army now is their Seventh Division, that is, the Seventh Division, which is a hundred kilometers southeast of us. ”

Guo Ye took a closer look, it was really good, from Richmond to the town of Morisot where the Second Division was stationed, this road was the closest, and if it was to be detoured, it would take at least dozens of miles more, which was absolutely undesirable.

Guo Ye pointed to a sign on the road and asked, "Where is this?" ”

McMullen replied, "General Guo, this place is thirty-five miles from Richmond, and it's called Sriland." ”

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Well, it's here, thirty-five miles, the distance is enough, the terrain here is steep, which is convenient for blocking the enemy army, Gao Qi!" ”

Gao Qi hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Big brother! ”

"You take the infantry battalion, immediately bypass the arsenal, penetrate into Sreland from the south side of the arsenal, dig fortifications, once the enemy retreats, give me a dead resistance here, and absolutely can't let the Confederate army pass through Sliland!"

"Wow!"

Gao Qi agreed, turned around and walked out quickly!

Guo Ye continued: "General McMullen, arrange your two brigades in the left and right directions, restrain the Confederate army's escape to the flank, and order the two artillery battalions and your fifteenth brigade to attack the Confederate army from the front, we will drive them into this trap!" ”
