Chapter 334: The Battle Result Is Unexpected!
THERE IS A HIGH MOUNTAIN IN THE SOUTH OF FREDERICKSBURG, AND THIS HIGH MOUNTAIN IS NOW CALLED 'LEE'S-HILL', IN HONOR OF THE BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CIVIL WAR. The brilliant command of General Lee, who turned the tide and repelled the United States Army.
And now, Robert. Lee was on this mountain, and he was surrounded by many important generals of the Southern Army, such as James Lee. Longstreet.
Why are they?
Fredericksburg is about 10 miles from Mount Henry, and from this highest point, you can see the battle in that direction, at least the smoke, the fire, and the roar of the cannons.
"General!" This is, a horse from the west, a scout of the Southern Army.
"Please." Robert. Lee's simple greetings.
"The progress of the Imperial Army of America is rapid! The Federation Army began a large-scale ...... The word "escape" should be more appropriate. The Scout thought for a moment.
"Washington has been captured?" Robert. Before Lee could say anything, Longstreet interjected.
"Probably not, but the rout can be seen within 25 miles of the battlefield to Washington, which used to be the line of defense of the Union." The words of the scout explain the problem.
“VERY-WELL。” Robert. Lee was a very polite man, and under no circumstances would he forget this phrase after any sergeant had reported to him.
The scouts saluted and left, but the generals remained. They've got something to do.
"General, what shall we do?"
Yes, what do we do!
At this time, the Southern Army was in Fredericksburg. This is the Richmond Line, and this place is really too close to the current battlefield.
It should be said that the process of the Imperial Army's arrival has had some frictions with the Southern Army, everyone is an army, and if legally speaking, these lands still belong to the Southern Confederate States. Therefore, on the one hand, it is the responsibility to defend the territory, but on the other hand, it is also necessary to march. If the two sides don't fight a dozen, that's weird.
But the result was very simple, the Southern Army was basically beaten all over the place...... Fortunately, there were no large-scale battles, at most they were only company-level battles.
But now it's different. To know. The Imperial Army is now attacking the troops of the United States, and it is said that the United States is also an enemy of the Confederate States, but if emotionally speaking, the Southerners, they are also Americans, and their former capital is also Washington, let's just look at it?
There is a key question here, and that is: After the empire defeated the United States army, will they turn their guns on our southern army?
So. What to do?
Even if the generals don't say it, then everyone knows in their hearts that there are two ways now.
One is to treat the thing in front of us as if it didn't happen, nothing happened, what kind of artillery, what kind of big war, it didn't happen, it has nothing to do with us.
The second one, which is also very simple, is that while the empire has not yet annihilated all the armies of the United States, and has not yet defeated the capital of the United States, then we will go and insert a lever!
In fact, everyone prefers the second way, this is the best option that can maintain the current Southern Confederacy, as long as it can work, even if it can't defeat the Imperial Army, as long as it can delay them, then at least it can temporarily maintain the situation of three points of the world.
But......
"I just thought of Stuart, and every time I see the athletes on their horses, galloping, I think of him."
Robert. General Li actually said such a thing, this is simply ......
Stuart is the general who captured Li Mengyang and went to the Habs Ferry to quell the rebellion. Earl. Brown. Stuart, a former cavalry major general of the Confederate Army, was known as Robert. Lee's eyes are Robert. Lee's loyal subordinates as well as the best students, however, he was already dead, dying in the civil war.
Why mention this man?
"Gentlemen, our investigation is not yet in place, and our information is not yet comprehensive, so I have decided to hold our troops for the time being." Robert. Lee's voice wasn't loud, but the tone was impossible to disobey.
“YES-SIR!”
All the generals saluted, indicating that they obeyed the orders of the Supreme Military Commander of the Confederacy.
“VERY-WELL。” Robert. Lee's voice was still so soft......
"Hey~" Longstreet sighed, he really wanted to refuse this order, but he knew that his prestige was not enough to fight Robert at this time. Plum.
It's a bit of a ...... command Arouse!
Yes, it does, but Robert. Li He knew that he had no other choice, and at this time he went up to fight the imperial army?
Maybe you have taken advantage of the enemy, but look at the current southern army, look at those soldiers, they are worse than beggars, tattered clothes, and disgraced, you let such soldiers fight with the opponent's neat and well-equipped troops?
Our weapons are all knocked out by those guys!
Robert. Lee knew very well that he didn't have the strength to fight on his side, and he was still thinking about one thing, and that was his own Agnes.
"Father, the person I love is the emperor of that empire! …… Father, you saw him back then, he was on the horse, and he loved me...... Father, let me go to him, let me go to him, peace in the United States, the livelihood of the people of the South, I believe he will have a way......"
This is Eleanor. Agnes. When Lee returned home, he asked for some money, and then had a long talk with his father...... Well, it's actually Robert. Lee's old father didn't want his daughter to leave him again, and Eleanor could only try her best to convince him.
But though, there really impressed Robert here. Lee's thing, that is, peace, with the future of the Southerners.
Is there still a war?
At this time, the south was full of holes, so I won't say anything else. Robert. The Battle of Gettysburg, the most tragic battle of Lee's career, was caused by snatching shoes, why?
It was so bitter at the time. There are no shoes, otherwise why should you grab them, shoes are still important war materials!
Even now, that empire does business with us, but it is only maintained, and the economy is getting worse and worse, so. Robert. Li really doesn't want to continue fighting, this famous general, he is really tired of war.
So. Robert. Lee is now pinning his hopes on his Agnes, which is also related to his daughter's lifelong events, this is love, romantic.
Love. Maybe we can let the war go away......
So will the war go away?
"Your Majesty! Our troops have broken through the 5-mile line of defense! ”
"Your Majesty! Our army advanced another 10 miles! ”
"Your Majesty! General Willy Young has captured the Hubs Ferry! ”
"Your Majesty! General Fogwind's striker has arrived in Arlington! ”
Inside the headquarters of the Imperial Army on Mount Henry. The good news flew like snowflakes, which really surprised Li Mengyang, the emperor of the empire!
I was really surprised, because Li Mengyang didn't expect that his attack could achieve such a good effect, this effect was amazing!
It should be said that from the very beginning the development of the battle plan. Although Li Mengyang didn't say it explicitly, he put this battle in his heart. As an attempted blow, he did not expect this blow to bring his opponent, the army of 300,000, to his knees.
Because in Li Mengyang's thoughts, or in the thoughts of a normal person, this is very normal.
To borrow Chu Yunfei's words, it is 50,000 pigs, and the communist army must also catch them......
That's the reason, there are a lot of opponents, and our imperial army is only 80,000 people here, which is still supplemented by some blacks, counting the heavy soldiers, and defeating the 300,000 army at once?
But now, this thing has really happened, how do you say it?
The real purpose of this blow is to exacerbate the economic crisis on the part of the United States, and the economy, this thing will be vulnerable under the threat of war, and if we fight like this, then the prices in Washington, D.C. will definitely have to double.
Li Mengyang was right to think about it, and it was true now, but he didn't expect that before this battle was over, the army of the United States would collapse first!
"Your Majesty! The latest news, the United States Army has retreated into Washington, D.C., and they threaten to turn every street into their own trenches, into the graveyard of our Imperial Army! ”
"It's really shameless!"
"Don't be ashamed!"
After receiving the latest battle report, it is obvious that the offensive and defensive battle of the city is about to begin, and the generals and staff officers in the command headquarters are simply indignant...... That's right, what is the United States Army not bragging?
For the current war, Li Mengyang doesn't want to give any more instructions, to put it simply, where you fight, then fight wherever you go, whatever.
That's right, at this time, the battle has turned into a rout, and the United States Army is now going to play street fighting again, so let's also accompany it, our Imperial Army's hands, bolt-action rifles, grenades...... These are all weapons for street fighting.
"Gentlemen!" Li Mengyang stood up, as if he wanted to say something.
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!” Salute all!
"Let's go out for a walk." His Majesty the Emperor said so.
This...... Let's go.
The battle had been fought from morning to noon, and although it was winter, the sun was warm and pleasant.
To the north of the Bull River, at this time it was a mess, and the whole hill seemed to have been plowed over, and a large number of soldiers were there to collect the prisoners.
Li Mengyang was wearing a green combat uniform, and walked slowly to the north alone, and soon he crossed the Bull River, which is a small river ditch, and he came to the opposite position, which was already extremely safe at this time.
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
There was that sharp-eyed warrior, and when he saw His Majesty the Emperor coming, he immediately stood up and saluted, and this slogan and action seemed to be contagious......
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
As long as Li Mengyang went, he was infected.
And the soldiers of the United States, they had never seen such a sight, and they were dumbfounded one by one...... (To be continued......)
PS: What's the matter recently, that is, the Federal Reserve is not raising interest rates, this thing, in fact, looking at it now, the most unlucky thing is Little Japan, because they bought a lot of U.S. bonds, and most of what we threw was bought by them, hey~
Well, without further ado, ask for support, thank you very much!
