On the dirt roads of Louisiana, a long procession marched quickly, and they were characterized by their neat green uniforms, with a green iron shell on their heads, and a spear on their backs, and nothing else.

What a strange procession, the people of Louisiana were very different when they saw these individuals, they had never seen such an army...... They're supposed to be the military, it's just too weird.

Fortunately, there are not many such people after all, and Louisiana is also in chaos these years, and if you can, you can hide......

"Zhou Tou, you think we can really catch up with those northerners in such a hurry?"

"Zhoutou, you can tell us about it."

Xiaoshanzi's platoon was supplemented to the First Army, and there are many advantages to doing so, on the one hand, it is to supplement the number of the First Army, after all, now that we have a three-three system, we have to expand the number, and on the other hand, it is to train new soldiers, and it is not to make the First Army a monolith.

After all, if it's all Irish, it's not easy to deal with...... This is normal, and it has been the case all over the world.

But in the face of these questions from his subordinates, how can Xiao Shanzi answer them?

"Why do you ask so much? Let us do whatever we want! Obey orders! "To be honest, Xiao Shanzi doesn't have any answers, anyway, these things were all done by his emperor's own father, so it's okay.

"It's not." The guy who had complained about the green steel helmet before came out to blow up the thorns again, "I said Zhou, we are worried about the troops, and the place we are going to now is Vicksburg, right?" Be. This place is called Fort, and it should be on land, but the problem is. Everybody knows, there's a Mississippi River, right? Then you say, we pioneers, lightning troops, we only brought these small arms in our hands, we didn't even have sappers, and we could build pontoon bridges before. But what now? ”

Don't say it, this question is really reasonable, but. There were not only Chinese people in this row, but also the blonde and blue-eyed white people.

"The Mississippi River, it's so wide, I guess you can't make something like a pontoon bridge." White people. That's probably someone from the United States. It is estimated that the geographical situation of the United States is relatively well understood.

"What then?"

yes, if we get to the Mississippi River quickly, but we can't cross it, wouldn't it be the end?

Is there anything Xiaoshanzi can do?

"No more nonsense! Obey orders! We are soldiers! Vocation is to obey orders! ”

In fact, Xiao Shanzi didn't have anything to do at all, and he couldn't figure it out at all, what would happen if this team rushed to the riverbank?

But though. He knew one, his emperor's father. There must be a reason for this......

From Monroe to the west bank of the Mississippi River, it should be said that it is less than 60 miles, but this distance cannot be achieved overnight, although the Imperial army spent a lot of money to buy almost all the horses that can be seen, but the horse is not as easy to run as expected.

The horse on the American side, the best endurance is the Cornesto plus horse, yes, the caravan is actually matched with this horse, but no matter how good the endurance is, it is impossible to run all the time, even this kind of horse, usually in a trotting attitude to advance.

In fact, when Li Mengyang was a thief in the Midwest, the reason why he was able to ride a horse and gallop was actually because the town there was small...... Yes, the town is small enough, and I rode a horse for a short sprint to give the people in the town a feeling of coming and going like the wind, but in fact, it slowed down when I left the town.

This kind of horse can last less than 10 kilometers at high speed, which is still a good horse!

In other words, it is difficult for the Imperial side to march quickly, but this has not yet considered crossing the river, so what happened to Sherman's troops?

On the Mississippi River, dozens of steamboats were sailing against the current, and these boats were Sherman, the veteran general of the U.S. Northern Army, and his troops.

After passing from Houston to New Orleans, and from New Orleans north to the Mississippi River, Sherman, a famous and battle-beaten general, also felt very tired, and his brows were tangled together, as if he couldn't open it no matter how he did it.

"General! No matter how you look at it, we'll get to Vicksburg first, you don't have to worry. "Greg was by Sherman's side, and the two of them really escaped death before, but it also brought their affection one step closer.

You know, in fact, before the start of the civil war, Sherman was also a complete loser, he just didn't seem to be able to live a normal life, and was even removed from the US military because of Yan Zhan's disciplinary violations...... Of course, this may also be a no-brainer, because the U.S. military at that time did not have any important combat missions, and Buchanan was constantly reducing military spending.

And it was Greg who brought Sherman back into the army after the start of the Civil War.

"Greg, I know we're going to be faster, but I'm always at peace." Sherman was a victorious general, but after facing the American Empire, he continued to suffer defeats or in vain.

"General, don't worry. Why don't you go and sleep in the cabin for a while, and when you wake up, we should be able to reach Vicksburg, by that time you still have a lot of work to do, and that tyrant may not have some vicious tricks waiting for us! "Greg is a good guy too, at least he's really good to Sherman......

"Oh, well, it seems like that's the way it is." Sherman's mood at this time can be said to be chaotic, he always feels that something may happen, but he doesn't dare to think about it, just go to sleep!

These dozens of ships can be said to be a fleet, the troop transport fleet of the Yankees, and these ships are all steamships, which can be said to be a relatively good thing in this era. In terms of speed, it can also be said that it is excellent, and there are not many ships that are fast.

And after all, it's on the water, so there's really nothing to obstruct. So it seems that in this speed race, the Northern Army led by Sherman will have the last laugh?

Early in the morning on July 21, Sherman reappeared on the side of the ship, having slept well yesterday. It should be said that he hasn't slept like this for a long time, and he has been really tired lately, and he can't rest. There is no way, the war is tense.

"Oh! Mr. Greg, you're a soothsayer, look at that. That's Vicksburg I'm familiar with! ”

I saw Sherman on the bank of the river in the distance. There's a messy town there, and that's Vicksburg.

"Yes General! But the question now is, Vickersburg is so badly damaged that we should rebuild it? Greg was familiar with the place, of course, but he knew better that the place was almost crippled, and the whole town was almost gone.

To know. The Yankees don't need this place for any transportation, especially since Grant hates this place. This place stumbled him for nine months, so the Northern Army simply wanted to erase this place, and naturally there was nothing to rebuild.

"We don't need to rebuild anything, we just need to dig trenches!" Sherman took the binoculars and looked at it again, there were a lot of his memories here.

It seemed that the Northern Army had arrived at Vicksburg first, because there were no troops in the vicinity, and Sherman's fleet was not attacked, and Sherman turned around again, and took a good look at the banks of the Mississippi River with a telescope, and he was even more sure.

There were only a few merchant ships, and although there were a few more of them, there was nothing wrong with that.

The Mississippi River, but it is the most important waterway in the United States, and there are many tributaries, so of course those who do business rely on this river to eat, so it is normal.

"Order the soldiers! Let's land!! Sherman took off his binoculars and said to Greg.

“YES-SIR！” Greg returned a salute.

Soon dozens of troop carriers began to dock, and the port on the Vicksburg side was still very wide, it was the most important port before, and merchant ships came and went very, very frequently.

"Brothers! Hurry up! ”

"Don't let that general kick us in the ass!"

"Hahaha! ……”

Groups of American GIs disembarked from the ship, including Sherman's remnants, American GIs he had collected along the way, and newly drafted guys, in short, a rout and a bunch of recruits.

But don't underestimate these recruits, the people of Texas are fierce, shoot and kill, ride horses...... Waiting for the combat skills at this time, they are not ambiguous at all, but the discipline is a little worse.

"......" Sherman's brows furrowed slightly in the face of such subordinates, but now it can only be like this, what he wants now is the ferocity of his subordinates.

"That's it! The whole team! ”

"Alignment! Line! ”

"Let's go!"

Although it was the age of trenches, it was also the same for the usual marches, and soon Sherman's troops came to the front of Vicksburg in a neat procession to the sound of whistles and drums!

"Good, keep going!" Seeing that his team was about to enter Vicksburg, Sherman's face finally showed a smile, but in an instant, his smile froze!

Bi Buckle! Bi Buckle!

Sudden Sudden Rush! Sudden ......

Bang! Bang!

I only heard rows of gunshots ringing out, and there were many grenades flying out of Vickersburg!

"This, what's going on?!"

"Look at that! Those bastards are all Imperial Army in green! ”

"Fack! Run! ”

Screaming, panicking, dying, fleeing...... The troops that were still neat changed in an instant! (To be continued......)
