Chapter 319: A Great Victory!
"Your Majesty! We caught a few big fish! ”
Not long after Song Yulong and the others came over, the old road of fog and wind also came, in fact, the American troops in his direction also surrendered, but however, this guy was still a little late, of course, the scene just now, His Majesty the Emperor was full of poetry, and the imperial army was extremely powerful, and he also saw it in the old way, and he was really shocked once.
However, he didn't come alone this time.
"Oh, you're here too, old man." Li Mengyang just came out of the state he was in just now......
Actually, that poem, I really feel it, such a scene, such a place, such a tragic battle, and the entire Battle of Vicksburg, now it seems that it should be called a battle, and this battle is really like a pass!
That poem is called "Remembering Qin'e. Loushan Pass", it was the Red Army that broke through countless difficulties to complete its Long March, and Li Mengyang felt that the Battle of Vicksburg at this time was also a huge pass, and he, the empire, and the soldiers of the empire finally broke through!
Well, it's not original, but I can't help it, and my own feelings really inspired the soldiers of the empire, and they shouted the slogan so loudly that many soldiers shed hot tears.
As soon as the fog wind came, Li Mengyang just came to his senses, but Li Mengyang naturally saw that the fog wind did not come alone.
"Let's go!"
"Get on your knees!"
Wufeng is now also at the level of a general, so naturally it is impossible to come alone, Wang Shijie led a team of people. And the most special thing is that several of them are wearing the uniforms of the United States Army. And it's an officer's uniform. And their rank is not low.
"This is ......" Li Mengyang almost understood at a glance, the one in front of him was wearing the uniform of the United States Army, with a big beard on his face, and a little bald, but his eyes were vicious, it should be Sherman!
"Your Majesty! I'm glad I didn't disgrace my life! Haha, by the way, this is what Wang Shijie and they caught. This is Sherman! And the old one is General Meade, and the others are also senior officers of the United States Army. Hahaha...... Your Majesty! This is all thanks to Your Majesty's holy might! "Old Fog Wind is so happy, he is very powerful this time, and he directly caught all the major officials of the United States Army and caught them all.
"You thugs! Uncivilized monkeys! Why should I kneel! "That Sherman's neck is very hard, but although he said so, his knees have long been bent, there is no way, can he still resist it at this time? Don't kneel?
Kick you a few more times!
"Old-fashioned! You're good, haha......" Li Mengyang was naturally happy. To be honest, he really didn't expect it. He was able to catch a big man like Sherman.
You know, the United States army in Vicksburg is almost 100,000, although he doesn't have an exact number, but after so many days on the top of the mountain, he can probably estimate it, so many people, even if they are defeated, but where is the big head so easy to catch?
"You tyrant! Don't try to humiliate us! Come on! Give Lao Tzu a good time! "The old general Mead is very tough, but to be honest, this attitude is ......
He doesn't think that the American Empire is a place to kill people casually, right?
Li Mengyang complained a little in his heart, but if these individuals were caught, they would naturally not be slaughtered so easily, so they wouldn't say anything, slaughtering them was not a matter, just a knife, but these individuals could do some business......
Well, when I was in Mexico before, I caught Maximiliano I and that French general or something, this is also a big man, but unfortunately, there is no letter on the Austro-Hungarian side, and France doesn't care, so the business didn't work out...... Li Mengyang feels that it may be because of the Austro-Prussian War, and I am afraid that the Habsburgs may be worried that Li Mengyang will ask for a sky-high price...... Anyway, there isn't much news for the time being, so it's just a waste of white rice, hey~
But anyway, Sherman and these individuals have to be kept, in case they are useful in the future, right?
And at this time, Song Yulong, Gao Zhenyu, and Yang Willy couldn't help but look at each other.
The meaning of this is very simple, that is, they all sighed in their hearts, the luck of the fog wind is really good!
Yes, originally their Northern Route Army trio came to 'rescue' first, so their credit must be greater, but now, the fog wind has caught the opponent's big head, and the limelight has been robbed!
This kind of mentality is too normal, but is the fog really luck?
Let's just put it this way, there's an element of luck, but there's something else.
If you want to say that the United States Army is such a large number and quite large in size, it can be said that the entire theater of operations is a city, of course, it is not too big, but it is not small, much larger than some small cities in the west, but in order to resist the imperial army coming up from behind, they 'shrunk' to the front.
Because you need to use the trench defense line that has been dug before, which is used to confront and besiege the Imperial army in Vicksburg.
But although it has shrunk, it is also very large, and the imperial army, that is, the army in the two directions of the North Road and the South Road, Song Yulong and the Wufeng Old Road, will start fighting as soon as they come, in order to rescue His Majesty the Emperor as quickly as possible.
When the fight started, they knew that the other party had also arrived, because of the sound of cannons, but at this time they hadn't thought about meeting the division, because it was still important to save the driver, and the speed was the first!
However, at this time, the cannonballs on the fog wind side ran out, so ...... Hey, yes, it was Wang Shijie who went to borrow a cannonball, and on the way they met Sherman and Mead, who were running away!
It's a coincidence, but it's also very interesting.
Yes, a simple reconnaissance shows that his army is not surrounded by opponents, and there is a big hole in the east, isn't this God's gift!
That's what Sherman thought at that time, so he naturally broke through from this place with his own tragic forces.
And in this breakthrough team, there are naturally all the big players, and they naturally have to take Mead with them.
Why didn't you leave Mead in this dead place?
Sherman is not stupid, he has to take Meade, don't look at this old guy is being squeezed out by General Grant, but this old guy is useful now.
Back to the pot!
The Battle of Vicksburg was so disastrous, then I, Sherman, am responsible, but the biggest responsibility must be you, Meade!
Anyway, Sherman has thought about it, and General Grant will definitely help him, so Mead's pot is set, but Mead can't help but leave, so even if he knows that he will be responsible for it in the future, he can't stay.
Originally, all the scripts had been written by Sherman, but suddenly the fleeing team he led encountered Wang Shijie's team.
In fact, the team led by Wang Shijie at that time was not the main force, and there were not many people, but there were more horses, in order to pull the shells, you are always embarrassed to even use the pack horses of the Northern Route Army, but but, it is such a platoon, after encountering these United States Army......
The Sherman side was directly scattered!
There are many people, at least more than two thousand, but it is useless, at this time they are already frightened, they no longer have any will to fight, as soon as they touch the imperial army, they feel that they are completely surrounded.
And the guns on the Imperial Army's side have a long range, and they really can't stand it anymore if they encounter it, and they still suffer a loss!
As a result, such a situation arose, and at this point, the entire Battle of Vicksburg was finally over, and the Imperial Army won a complete victory!
In the Battle of Vicksburg, the vanguard of the Imperial Army suffered 2,603 casualties and 1,230 casualties, the Northern Route Army led by Song Yulong suffered 530 casualties and 217 casualties, and the Southern Route Army led by Wufeng suffered 612 casualties and 337 casualties. And the Imperial Army, in the whole month-long battle, completely annihilated Sherman's troops and Mead's troops, Mead's troops were a part of the Topomac Army, more than 70,000 combatants, and of them, more than 30,000 were killed, on the last day of the battle, the soldiers of the United States Army later recalled that on this day he felt that at least more than 10,000 people died, anyway, it was too common for people to die around him.
Among the captives, there were about 20,000 people, and there were many seriously wounded left, few of whom were not disabled, and not many who could be saved.
It can really be called the words 'blood flows like a river'......
The results can be said to be very brilliant, but if you look at the overall situation, if you use a term that Li Mengyang is familiar with in the later generations of online games, then the current situation can really be called a 'light up map'!
Judging from the map, the current Imperial Army, coming out of El Paso, drove straight into it all the way, basically regardless of both sides, that is, it went all the way to Vicksburg, and this Vicksburg is a key point in the southern United States.
West of Vicksburg is west of the Mississippi River, because there is such a big river, so, in fact, the United States can be divided into east and west parts in this south under the subdivision, and now that Vicksburg has been taken, the rest of the place is really like being lit up.
For example, in Texas, the Imperial Army passed sideways, all the way, and did not all fight down, but when Vicksburg was taken, things were separated again, so the state of Texas had no other choice, they could only completely listen to the Empire.
Yes, it's those resistance groups, where they resist, there is no point in resisting anymore, because even if you resist again, you will lose in the end, and there is no chance of winning, not to mention anything else, who can support them? Where do guns, ammunition, money and food come from?
In fact, this situation is also related to the current railway situation in the United States, that is, in such a place, the railroad has not been repaired, and even the telegraph is not developed, and Washington's hand cannot be stretched out at all!
Therefore, this Vicksburg has been taken, and the entire power of the United States Army in the south has been completely annihilated, at least the absolute majority, then this is equivalent to taking all the other places into the Empire! (To be continued......)
