Chapter 317: Immovable as a Mountain!

Bang! Bang!

When the first shells were located, it didn't take long for the ferocious and unusual shelling to begin, and these shells came from the rear of the United States Army, and it was clear that Sherman and Mead's troops had been stabbed in the chrysanthemum from behind!

The United States Army is on land, not to mention those casualties and defeated, they themselves have 70,000 people, if you add some logistics, medical, anyway, if you count them together, there can be almost 100,000, this is still because there is a railway, it is much more convenient, otherwise there will be more people, then this group is really big, 10,000 people are crowded, this is still their own place, but no one found out that there is an enemy behind them!

"What's going on?! What the hell is going on?! Sherman was furious in his headquarters.

Yes, this matter is too serious, isn't this just a siege for the United States?

"General, I, I ...... too" The old general Mead was also puzzled, because he didn't know either.

However, I don't know about this, but it's interesting.

"What about our reconnaissance troops? And what about our cavalry? Are all their horses dead? Sherman was really angry, but he already knew it.

It's very simple, that is, no one knows the enemy's situation, that is, the United States Army did not send the reconnaissance force that it should have!

Nearly 100,000 people, 100,000 people didn't find other troops to surround them, so what else could be the reason?

But actually, do you think it's anyone's responsibility?

It should be said that even Sherman, he felt that this reconnaissance work was unnecessary.

Look at the situation of the United States Army now. Do they use reconnaissance?

The battlefield is in Vicksburg. East of the Mississippi River. This large area is the territory of the United States, and the Mississippi River is full of United States warships, and they are 100,000 of them, fighting at home, and the opponent is a guest army, coming from afar, and their own military strength is more than ten times that of their opponents, and this is the case. Investigation?

How useful is it?

It is estimated that even if you release the cavalry troops, they can only give you a perfunctory thing, because who can come? There can't be anyone.

But now, there are still people coming, and just listening to this cannon, Sherman is very familiar with it, he will never forget it for the rest of his life, this is definitely a cannon on the imperial side!

So, why was his ass stabbed by his opponent? How did those Imperial armies come to their back? Wasn't the Mississippi River blocked by the United States Army?

These are important questions. But none of the issues that matter, that is. What should I do now?

"That's it! Mead! Your review, your guilt we will discuss later! Sherman was very clever to put this black cauldron directly on Mead's body, anyway, someone had to take responsibility, and he Sherman didn't give Mead a chance to dump the pot, he immediately continued, "I now order the whole army to continue the attack!" ”

"Go on the offensive?!" Mead had forgotten about the pot at that time.

Go on the offensive? That's too bold an idea, isn't it!? And that's ridiculous, right?!

You know, the situation at this time is that the United States army is equivalent to being surrounded, and the front of the offensive is the Mississippi River, even if Vicksburg is defeated, it will be surrounded in the end?

Nearly 100,000 troops, of course, I'm afraid there are only 5-70,000 people left to move, but this large number of people are surrounded, you don't choose to break through, but continue to attack in the opposite direction, this is too risky to say, risky to ......

Wait a minute!

Mead quickly calmed down, as he figured out why Sherman had done this.

Quite simply, their opponent is now an Empire, and the Emperor of that Empire is within Vicksburg!

Yes, it must be!

What Sherman thinks is that as long as we continue to attack, use the most ferocious offensive to capture Vicksburg, wipe out that mountain, and the most important thing is to capture or kill the emperor, then the result of this Vicksburg battle will not be a great victory for our United States army!?

This idea can be said to be more logical, and this logic is based on the fact that the empire is an empire, they have an emperor, as long as this emperor is killed, then the empire will be finished!

Not to mention anything else, General Mead has a very high opinion of the super fighting will shown by the soldiers of the United States, and there is actually this reason for this, the big guys think that as long as the opponent's emperor is killed, then the war will be over.

Of course, what the future holds, no one can say, but on the one hand, it is the rear that you have to face when you are surrounded, and in front is the emperor in Vicksburg, this is the merit, how will you choose?

It can be said that Mead was very accurate at this moment to figure out Sherman's thoughts, and this is what the Supreme Commander of the Western Military District of the United States thought.

And in Sherman's view, this is a gamble, a big gamble!

But however, this gamble actually has a great chance of winning, because a previous battle has found the trick, besides, this is an army of tens of thousands, there are enough people, and ah, Sherman's army has also dug trenches, this trench is not just a ditch, that ditch is not all two-sided, so it can directly become a defensive position against the rear!

Sherman is actually full of confidence, even though he knows that the opponent's cannon is very fierce, but he will definitely be able to kill the tyrant before he is eliminated, then the whole war is over!

So, what about inside Vicksburg?

"Comrades!" Li Mengyang, as the emperor of the empire, came to the front line now, that is, the second trench before, before he knew that his troops were coming from behind the enemy army, and it was impossible for you not to hear the sound of the shells. Moreover, the general movement of the enemy army is also known, they did not choose to break through, those mortars are still facing us, they must be still preparing to attack!

“ALL-HAIL-LEE!” The soldiers in the trenches stood up and saluted.

"No more! We're going to face the most fierce attack next! Our opponents will go crazy! It's because of me! The emperor of this empire is here! Speaking of this, Li Mengyang spread his hands. There was nothing in that hand. Just hear him say: "Comrades! You've all heard that I'm shooting accurately. But today! I won't touch any weapons! My safety! My life! It's up to the comrades! ”

As soon as Li Mengyang's words were finished......

“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”

The slogan is heaven-shattering! The Great War Begins!

Bang! Bang!

Everywhere in **. Add to that the grenades, and the whole of Vicksburg seems to be exploding.

"Forward!"

"Woo-la!"

Bi Buckle! Bi Buckle!

Sudden ......

Between the first trench and the second trench, there are actually some passages connected, and these passages are now guarded by Gatling guns, anyway, if someone comes, it will definitely be a death.

However, even so, the charge on the part of the United States continued. The United States Army didn't seem to care about death at all, they were forced by the drums, by orders, and even by the spears of the warlords in the back...... Anyway, it's rushing, and you can only live by killing that emperor!

"Ahhh......h

Well, it's the Imperial soldiers who power the machine guns, and they grit their teeth every time with extremely painful expressions......

"Ahhh

"Kill!"

"Oh my God!"

"Grass your uncle!"

"Fack!"

Machine guns, platoon guns. grenades, mortars...... In firepower. The Empire has reached the extreme of this era, but the soldiers of the United States still rushed over, and they still entered the second line of defense!

Although the road was full of corpses, and although the blood of the soldiers of the United States had made the ground muddy, they were still moving forward, and there were still countless American GIs rushing forward!

The two armies were finally twisted together again, bayonets, butts, fists, stones, teeth...... The scene of that day came again, only more tragic!

"......" Li Mengyang didn't say anything, he was standing in the third line of defense, right there, in the last line of defense, he didn't move!

"Your Majesty! It's very dangerous here, we might as well ......" Liszt's legs were a little trembling at this time, there was no way, this line of defense was actually not far from the front, less than 50 meters, maybe the artillery over there or something, bullets or something, could hit it!

"If you mess with my army's heart, I'll clean you up now!" Li Mengyang was still motionless, and what he said was that he was smiling and not smiling, which scared Li Szt so much that he almost peed.

He didn't say anything, not even Ocassi on the side.

However, Okashi has a feeling about the state of His Majesty the Emperor, he is now a general, so naturally he has to read some military books, so what do you read military books?

"The Art of War", why waste such a good textbook? Just translate it and you're ready to go.

Immovable as a mountain!

This is Okashi's feeling, the current Emperor His Majesty is a mountain, the last mountain that presses the entire Imperial Army, and he must not move!

……

"Why hasn't it been captured yet?! Are they all pigs? ”

Sherman was still furious in his own command, because for him, if the attack in front of him did not progress, it would be a failure!

"General! We should think about what's behind us! "Old General Mead has long been disgraced, he is not because of the offensive problem, but because of the defense, he was sent by Sherman to defend the rear, this is just to report the situation.

"What the fuck is behind it! I want that tyrant's head right now! Sherman didn't care which direction the battle was presiding over by Mead, anyway, he would be happy to get a personal scolding.

To be honest, Sherman was a little weak-hearted, because the attack in front was his own people, and such a big credit naturally had to be taken by his own people, but Greg's offensive didn't work very well, it was already 20,000 in, and there were naturally Mead's people in it, but there was no way, there was really no way......

"General! Colonel Greg is dead! Suddenly, a herald ran in, and he was very panicked.

"Huh?"

This news was no less than a bolt from the blue, and Sherman's eyes were black at the time, because it meant that his offensive was probably over, so this battle ...... (To be continued......)
