Chapter 445: The Cavalry Strikes

Less than ten miles behind Chen Hai is the border of Louden County.

Xin Fengxiang, commander of the Second Regiment of the First Brigade, personally led an infantry battalion and an artillery battalion to arrive here.

Robert of the Confederate Army. Lee, as the most prestigious general in the whole of America, naturally would not be so careless, in the area controlled by the Union Army, he used three multi-cavalry regiments to raid the Federation's baggage troops, if he didn't take more precautions, how could it be?

Robert's order arrived early in the morning in nearby Loudoun County, where two brigades of the Confederate Army were stationed, and the troops who were to be mobilized for the siege of Richmond were to be brought in the future, and the leader was Major General Edgar.

Robert's order to Edgar was to keep a close eye on the military movements in Fairfax, north of Loudoun County, because a large number of Rangers were about to launch a huge surprise attack, and in the event of a defeat, Edgar was required to send a large army to meet and ensure the safety of the Rangers.

Edgar got the order to naturally strengthen the military reconnaissance in the direction of Fairfax, and sure enough, not long after the scouts were sent out today, they were rewarded, and now the territory of Fairfax has been in flames, and the federal army has seen a large-scale military movement, advancing in the direction of the Fairfax railway station, and now there are signs of advancing to the south, and the artillery is full of fire, I am afraid that the current rangers will be more auspicious!

Edgar was really taken aback, and sure enough, as General Robert expected, these Federation troops would put such a huge trap on the Rangers, once the siege was completed. How can there be cavalry, but it is really dangerous!

Edgar didn't dare to slack off. Straight led the forces of two regiments. Lightly armed, they rushed towards the northern border of Loudoun County.

As soon as he arrived at the border of Loudoun County, which was only four or five miles away, Xin Fengxiang led an elite of the First Brigade to this position and blocked the advance route!

When Edgar got the news, his heart was shocked, but what he didn't expect was that the federal army had already prepared. I rushed forward lightly, but I didn't bring heavy weapons!

But now that he is ready to attack, he can only pull out the obstacles in front of him in the fastest time before he can receive the Rangers to evacuate into Loudoun County!

"Order both regiments to be fully put into the attack, the eighty-eighth regiment will attack, and the eighty-ninth regiment will provide fire cover from both flanks and attack!"

Edgar gave the order to attack, and both regiments of infantry were thrown into battle, and the mountains were filled with charging soldiers.

Xin Fengxiang didn't even have time to build simple fortifications at this time. I can only rush to the battle!

Xin Fengxiang commanded the artillery to take the lead in the attack, and twenty advanced artillery pieces continued to surrender shells to the battlefield in front of them, stopping the opponent's advance. Shells blew the battlefield into sand and smoky, and the remaining infantry battalions were scattered one by one, attacking the Confederate forces in front!

It's just that this time the federal army suffered a little loss, as the defending side, their strength was already insufficient, and at the same time, the speed of the Confederate army came up too fast, and they didn't give Xin Fengxiang any time to prepare.

The Confederate army relied on the strength of the people and the full firepower, and the infantry of the Union army, which was suppressed for a while, could not raise their heads, and could not effectively block it at all!

However, it was just such a short time, the artillery of the Union Army was in full swing, and began to fire fiercely, twenty guns, constantly projecting shells, and constantly the Confederate army was blown up into the sky, after all, the Confederate army is also flesh and blood, where can it withstand the fierce bombardment of artillery fire? Under fierce fire, they had to retreat to the rear.

Edgar still did not give up, and commanded the Confederate army to attack again, this time using two battalions of troops to launch a roundabout attack on the flank of the Union army!

The Confederate forces rushed up quickly, and the Union Army's bulky artillery was not so agile in trying to turn the attack.

Xin Fengxiang's eyes widened immediately, ******, relying on the strength of the crowd to bully Lao Tzu?

No way!

"Cavalry company, beat them down for me!"

Xin Fengxiang led the elite of the training army, and the most important thing was that in order to ensure a fast march, Luo Bicheng handed over the cavalry of a company under his command to Xin Fengxiang, which came in handy at this time!

Xin Fengxiang gave an order, and more than 100 cavalrymen couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, and they pulled out their sabers one after another, urging their horses to go up, as fast as lightning!

These cavalry were battle-hardened warriors, even the Rangers of the Confederate Army were definitely not their opponents, and the cavalry company was like a bolt of lightning, piercing into the crowd of the Confederate army and killing the Confederate army!

The cold saber flickered with cold light, constantly waving towards the Confederate army, originally the Confederate army thought that it would be easier to attack the opponent's flank, but he didn't expect that people actually ambushed a cavalry for themselves, on the hills, from top to bottom, thundering, where can the infantry on foot withstand the impact of the cavalry only with bayonets?

In just an instant, the Confederate troops that rushed to the forefront were scattered by the cavalry, and they fled one after another, dodging the cavalry's attack, and those who were too late were even hit by the war horses, directly breaking their bones and tendons, and some of them were unlucky, and their heads flew straight into the sky!

Fast, too fast, ruthless, too ruthless, sharp, too sharp!

Even if the Federal Army dispatched two battalions of troops, facing the fierce charge of the cavalry, there was absolutely no power to fight back, and the Confederate Army was less than 100 meters away from the position of the Liang Gang Army, such a short distance, where could the Federal Army organize resistance, it was simply impossible!

Edgar stomped his foot in the back, it was over, this time the attack was going to fail again!

What about eight or nine hundred? Under the onslaught of the cavalry, he could only retreat one after another, and was killed by the cavalry back to the Confederate position in one fell swoop, and Edgar was once again disappointed.

“******! Bastard! ”

Edgar cursed fiercely, but, now that the Federation Army has cavalry in hand, even if it attacks in a roundabout way, it can't do it, no matter how fast the infantry moves, can it compare to the cavalry?

There's no way, now we have to launch another assault!

"Order, all the troops will press on me, even the reserves will rush up for me, and continue to attack until I take the position!"

Edgar roared angrily.

Bands of Confederate troops regrouped and pressed again towards the Union positions.
