Chapter 314: This little day can't be too good, and the battle must be hard
"The flag under the mountain is in sight, and the drums and horns on the mountain are heard. The enemy army is besieged by thousands of people, and I will not move!
The barriers have long been tightened, and they are even more united. The Mississippi River cannon roared, reporting that the enemy army was fleeing at night! ”
With a stroke of Li Mengyang's pencil, this poem was written, and such a poem......
"Good! That's great! Oh my God! It's one of the best poems I've ever seen! ”
It was Liszt who spoke, this guy also followed Li Mengyang, before Li Mengyang said that he was going to Vickersburg, he made it clear that he was going to the most dangerous place, with the troops, sharing weal and woe, but I didn't expect that Liszt, this guy also came over, he said, he is the loyal guard of His Majesty the Emperor, and he must follow him, no matter the ends of the world!
In fact, Liszt's idea was very good, this guy didn't know anything else, he recognized one point, that is, it was right to follow His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor was definitely the safest, so even if it was Vicksburg, which was besieged for thousands of years, it was also the safest.
But though, the poem ......
"I said, do you understand?" Li Mengyang is not too cold about Liszt's praise, because his propaganda minister, although he also understands Chinese, but his understanding is limited, this poem, in fact, this is a word, for now, the literacy rate of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, most of the Chinese people do not understand.
However, Liszt would say, "Your Majesty! Although I don't know much about the meaning of this poem, just looking at the momentum of this poem, and your swaying and heroic spirit, Your Majesty, I know that this must be a very, very good poem! ”
"......" Li Mengyang was really messed up by this guy Liszt.
To say sycophancy. This guy said second, I'm afraid no one dares to say that he is first. Even something I don't understand. can give me a three, four, five, six, but ...... Li Mengyang also blushed a little.
Well, this song is obviously the one that was changed, the one that was changed by Taizu, and now, on our occasion, it should be called "Xijiang Yue. Vicksburg, right?
Don't say it. Even if Li Mengyang is a person with naming disorder, this name should be very appropriate.
The current situation in Vicksburg is really under siege!
On the Imperial side, they only built fortifications in the small city of Vicksburg and occupied this area, but on the Mississippi River, it was all American warships, and outside Vicksburg, it was all American soldiers, and tens of thousands of people were transported by rail. Besiege this small city to death!
However, Li Mengyang is the emperor. It's in such an environment, and he's still in the mood to write poetry...... Well, this poem is really not Li Mengyang's original, but it really fits Li Mengyang's current state of mind!
That's how it feels, the enemy is besieged by thousands of people, and I don't move!
"Your Majesty, your greatness, your courage, this is something I have never seen before, I dare say! At present, there is no monarch in the world who can talk and laugh like His Majesty, and even carry out literary creations in such a precipitous environment, Your Majesty! ALL-HAIL-LEE! ”
As long as Liszt is so energetic, you can't stop if you want him to stop, this is touted......
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
At this time, within Vicksburg, within the entire Imperial Army, there is nothing that disagrees!
Yes, they all think that Liszt is not a sycophant, this guy is telling the truth! It's still the big truth!
It's easy to think about, because no one has ever fought such a battle, and at this time, in terms of numbers, our imperial army is less than one-tenth of the opponent's, and in terms of weapons, we don't have any heavy weapons, but it seems that these weapons at hand are enough.
The Battle of Vicksburg has been almost a month since July, and this month, the personnel losses on the side of the Imperial Army could not be smaller, almost negligible!
The opponent can't beat us, and we can beat the opponent, it's that simple.
From the land aspect, whether it is Sherman or Mead, it is difficult for these American troops to inflict any substantial damage on the Imperial army, the range of the guns is not enough, and the artillery is not very powerful, and the only useful thing in the face of the trenches is the mortar artillery, but this thing is not reliable.
If the greatest threat to the Imperial Army is the American warships on the Mississippi River, the guns of these warships can still withstand the Imperial Army, but however, this terrain in Vicksburg is very interesting.
The Imperial Army occupied the heights of Vicksburg, which happened to have a hill blocking the Mississippi River.
In fact, when the United States attacked this Vicksburg, they didn't actually take this small city militarily, they just smashed everything they could with their own artillery, but the sergeants could hide in the fortifications, Ulysses. Grant was able to win because Vicksburg was cut off and there was nothing left to eat.
And now, the Imperial Army has been prepared for a long time, they are only 5,000 people, and when they came, they used those barges to transport the grain of the old nose, anyway, there are dollars, and they buy it on a large scale, but it is the United States Army, it is said that there was a food shortage a while ago!
What about this situation......
"Your Majesty, don't worry! I will definitely publicize our hard battles and weeping deeds here in Vicksburg. ”
"Hard? Heroic? ”
In the face of this guy Liszt, Li Mengyang is a little clueless, because in the current situation, it doesn't seem to be difficult?
"That's right! Your Majesty! It was in this Vicksburg that we fought hard. Behold, there is not even a complete house in this place, and you will sleep in a cave, Your Majesty! Behold, there is not even a grain of grain in this hellish place, and we can only eat our own dry food that we have brought with us......"
These things......
Li Mengyang was speechless, because he and the soldiers were really not affected, and it could be said that there was no house. But there was no food. We've shipped a lot...... All right. There really wasn't much food here.
Isn't this nonsense?
But some people think differently.
"Mr. Liszt! You are simply the best war correspondent in our Eastern Route Army! Go write it! Go for it! Turn all of these things into stories! As we break out of the encirclement, these stories will inspire generations of Imperial citizens! "It's Ocassi who speaks!
It's right to think about it, Ocassi, the head of this army, of course he wants his troops to have heroic deeds to pass on to future generations...... Although, he knows these things......
"General Okashi! Don't worry, I won't do any artistic exaggeration! I'll be sure to write it as it is! Liszt said this with great solemnity.
But Li Mengyang listened...... How does it sound like it is, a serious nonsense!
But!
"Mr. Liszt! On behalf of my subordinates, I thank you! That's right. There was an incident today, the head of one of our fighters was concentrated by the opponent, but he did not die, he ...... "Okashi also provides the material, in fact, Okashi can't hear it, then what Liszt said is not to do artistic exaggeration, in fact, it is to be artistic exaggeration."
"Ahh This is simply a miracle that God has given us! God is telling us that our warriors will not be killed by their opponents! To kill the warriors of our empire, you need at least two bullets! Oh no! Yes, at least ten bullets are needed! Hey, I'll think about it again. It should be said that our warriors are all immortal by the side of His Majesty the Emperor! ……”
It's simply true. The more I talk about it, the more 'artistic' it becomes...... Li Mengyang has to come out and stop it, you kid don't be too evil, but.
"Mr. Liszt, what you said is simply excellent!"
Come on, Ocassi and Liszt, Wang Ba looked at the mung beans and looked at each other!
"Okay, you have to do it, but at least don't do it too evilly, I don't have much to ask for, at least it's reasonable." Li Mengyang has no rut, really no rut, he has to hold his forehead and let his subordinates do things.
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
Needless to say, happy......
Actually, that's it, after all, the empire is under siege, we need some morale incentives, and if we go out in the future, it's not good to tell other troops.
"Hey! Nabs! We were in Vicksburg, and the Americans were cleaned up with the delicious and spicy food. ”
That's not a good thing to say, right?
The other troops are still desperately trying to save our vanguard, right?
What will happen to Liszt and O'Carcy, then let them go, but are Sherman and Mead just looking at the situation in front of them?
"General! Our army's offensive has no effect at all, and the latest methods are useless, so what can be done? MacArthur came to Sherman and Mead's command post, and naturally reported on today's attack.
"Hey~" Sherman didn't speak, and Mead sighed.
Nothing else, Mead has been fighting for so many years, he is really a veteran, he is old enough to be Sherman's father, but he has really never seen a war like this.
Attacking, it's like sending your subordinates to death!
"This way doesn't work, so what's the solution?" Sherman was also distressed at this time.
"It's better to let the navy give us artillery support to the best of its ability." MacArthur didn't have a good idea, either.
Actually, this method is also very stupid, because the navy is now blocking the Mississippi River, but using naval guns to bombard the positions of Vicksburg, this is not accurate, that hill!
However, this can't be done, so what else can be done?
"Hey!" Mead seemed to have a sudden inspiration, "I heard that Burnside dug a tunnel in Petersburg, and we ...... now"
Don't say it, this old general's idea is a bit interesting, because if it is to kill Li Mengyang, the emperor of the American Empire, then dig a tunnel and bury a huge amount of explosives, then even if you dig it off, you may be killed by that tyrant in one fell swoop!
But......
"It's just stupid!" Sherman did not dump the old general's words at all. "Isn't Burnside's suffering enough? I wouldn't be a fool like him! ”
"......" General Mead's face is very ugly, because this guy Sherman didn't treat him very well before, and when he first came, Sherman didn't say anything, let him attack first, and suffered a lot.
Is there any good way for the U.S. troops outside Vicksburg? (To be continued......)
