On the road from Loudoun County to Richmond, the strength of the two divisions of the Confederate Army was rapidly advancing towards Richmond.

This time, the commander of the Third Army of the Southern Army, General Sturridge, personally led two divisions to surging forward, Sturridge was full of confidence, his two divisions, four hundred miles south of Richmond, and the First Cavalry Division was rapidly advancing towards Richmond, and the troops of the three divisions in the west were besieging Fort Kstry, and the three large armies, together with six divisions of 90,000 people, were definitely not something that the Union Army in Richmond could contend with, as for the reinforcements of the Union Army, almost all the Rangers were now ready again in the north of Richmond, will launch a blockade at any time towards the reinforcements of the federal army and drag them to the death, this time Richmond is definitely going to change hands, where can that Guo Ye from China stop such a strong force of the Southern Army?

In Sturridge's eyes, Guo Ye is just a **** luck, and he became famous in the first battle by mistake, even if his army has some combat power, but I heard that there are only more than 1,000 people, compared with the strength of six divisions, it is not worth mentioning at all! I'm afraid that Guo Ye has been scared by my army to pee his pants now.

Sturridge is a first-class general in the Confederate army, and he has never suffered a loss in the battle against the federal army, so he naturally has nothing to do with his eyes and does not take anyone seriously.

Sturridge's march was rapid, and in just a few days, he had already advanced his troops to a position less than fifty miles from Richmond, and the daring Sturridge even planned to attack Richmond first with two divisions of troops, and take Richmond before the rest of the friendly forces arrived!

It's just that what Sturridge didn't expect was that Guo Ye would dare to come out of the nest at such a critical time and go straight to his two divisions!

This time, Guo Ye gave up the defense directly, but gave it a go, the three artillery battalions all removed their artillery jackets, and they were ready to enter the battle at any time, and all the soldiers filled their rifles with bullets, just to give the Southern Army a head-on attack!

The two armies marched in the opposite direction and soon met less than forty miles from Richmond!

The so-called narrow road meets the brave wins!

Before Sturridge could react, Guo Ye gave an order, and the three artillery battalions opened fire together, launching a surprise attack on the southern army, fifty or sixty heavy artillery pieces fired at the southern army together, and the cannonballs all over the sky smashed down!

When Sturridge was still moving forward at full speed with his head down, suddenly there was a burst of cannons, which jumped Sturridge, and when he raised his head, the shells had already fallen into the ranks of the Southern Army!

Boom Boom!

The explosion was continuous, and in an instant, the entire ranks of the Southern Army fell into the smoke and flames of war!

Sturridge was shocked!

Where did the enemy forces come from? Where did the enemy forces come from? Isn't Richmond's army still holding Richmond now? How dare they go out of town?

"Order, the whole army is ready to fight! Challenge! ”

The Southern Army quickly moved and began to prepare for battle!

However, it has always been the first to strike, and the last to suffer, the current Southern Army artillery is still all covered with artillery clothing on the carriage, and the most important thing is that the artillery shells are all at the back of the army, even if all the artillery clothing can be removed in two or three minutes, how can you get the shells in the middle of the artillery fire in the sky, and then put into battle?

Before the artillery began to return fire, the southern army accepted the baptism of hundreds of shells from Guo Ye's three artillery battalions, and was blown up in a miasma, and in just a few minutes, nearly a thousand casualties were lost!

In the wilderness, without any cover, and the army is on the march, how can it not suffer heavy losses?

The biggest loss brought by the ferocious artillery bombardment to the Southern Army was definitely not nearly 1,000 casualties, but the chaos brought to the Southern Army by surprise.

Sturridge was so angry that he didn't expect it, he really didn't expect that the Federation Army would really dare to attack head-on! It's so unexpected!

Sturridge continued to roar, and finally organized the artillery battalion together, and began to launch a counterattack against the Federation army, and the two sides together had more than a hundred artillery pieces, and in a moment, the entire position was scorched and flamed.

I have to say that Sturridge's two divisions are indeed extraordinary, one or two grades stronger than the federal army, although they are not as good as Guo Ye's original training army and Baoding Zhenxiong division, but there is no doubt that they are stronger than the federal army, and they can wake up in such a short period of time and quickly put into a counterattack, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary federal troops.

However, Guo Ye is not in vain, he has already figured out Sturridge's Southern Army, the first wave of offensive is to dismount, first suppress the morale of the Southern Army, and there are more exciting offensives waiting for the Southern Army later.

Although the artillery of the Southern Army is fierce, Guo Ye's artillery is much stronger than the Southern Army, one is three artillery battalions, more than 60 cannons, more than the Southern Army, but these days, the artillery brought from the country has gone all out to train the artillery, just the trained shells, it has exceeded tens of thousands of rounds, the combat power of these artillery is already very good, compared to the Southern Army artillery that responded to the battle in a hurry, it is not bad at all, and it is still excessive! Third, the most unfortunate thing is that all the artillery of the Southern Army is concentrated on the road, closely arranged together, unlike the Federal Army, which is scattered, and it is difficult to launch a reasonable offensive, and it can only withstand the fierce and dense artillery fire of the Federal Army.

Guo Ye's artillery formed a comprehensive suppression of the southern army in a short period of time, and it was difficult for the southern army to hold its head up!

The most fatal thing is not that the Southern Army's own artillery is in full inferiority, but the strange soldiers deployed by Guo Ye, that is, the cavalry brought from China!

As soon as Luo Bicheng set out, he dispersed with the main force of the army, and the three cavalry battalions, led by the first battalion of his main cavalry, detoured back to the flank of the southern army.

The Southern Army had just woken up from the chaos and began to organize a counterattack, Luo Bicheng led more than 1,000 cavalry to start a fierce assault on the flank of the Southern Army, and the three cavalry battalions were like a hurricane, surging towards the flank of the Southern Army, and the horse pistol in his hand kept ringing out, and the momentum was like a rainbow!

The Southern Army, which had just improved, was stunned again by Luo Bicheng's stick, all the artillery fire was responding to the offensive of the federal artillery, and the heavy machine gun that suppressed the cavalry had not yet come out, so how easy was it to effectively suppress the offensive of the cavalry?

Although the soldiers on the flanks raised their guns and sniped, they obviously could not threaten the rapidly advancing cavalry, and the position of the Southern Army was charged by the cavalry, which stabbed into the heart of the Southern Army!
