Chapter 144: The Scales of a Series of Wars
Hai had never heard of any 'sparrow tactics', nor did she know what 'refueling tactics' were, nor did she know how to fight in the streets, nor did she know how to kill the master with random punches, and she even knew how to put the musket, let alone any professional terms such as line infantry, skirmisher line, and artillery cluster.
She is not a master of micro-exercises, and she can't be an indomitable warrior.
Originally, her best weapon was a weaving shuttle, or an iron pickaxe, or a sickle, but if it was used against her father, it would be best to use it to be a coquettish or something......
All in all, in her past life experiences, she has never shown the slightest war-related quality.
Until the turtledove took her with him and made her look at the map for a few days, read the documents as she pleased, and wiped the floor of the office by the way......
She suddenly felt that this kind of thing like a war is not more gritted than anyone else?
This kind of thing that makes men's self-esteem burst is actually not difficult!
Then, she took two guards to a fallen city in South Texas - Kopac!
She didn't come here because she thought there was a possibility for Kopache to be saved.
It's because she feels that Kopache is important and needs to be saved, so she came here.
……
Halfway through, she was met by a scattered contingent of infantry, numbering about a few hundred.
"Generals, are you going back to see turtledoves like this?" Hai stopped the group and asked.
"We're not generals—who are you?" The lead officer asked.
"It doesn't matter who I am, if you're going to go back to see Turtledove like this, you're going to have to make a way out for me - you've lost Kopacz, I'm going to get it back!"
"Kopache has fallen!"
"Do you think I don't know?" Hai asked, "Didn't it fall in your hands?" ”
"The enemy is too powerful!" The leading officer bowed his head in some shame and argued. "Their shells are so fierce that we can't beat them!"
"If you can't beat it, won't you fight? Then go back like this," said Hai, "and when you see the turtledove, remember to tell him that there is a woman named 'Hai' who has gone to recover Kopacz!" ”
……
She found a huge prisoner camp outside Kopacz, where American soldiers tied up captured Indians and blacks and forced them to dig holes for themselves at gunpoint.
The brave Indian warriors who are usually brave and unrivaled are as obedient as sheep at this time.
Hai was as nimble as a monkey, chased by a group of American soldiers, climbed a high sentry tower and kicked the soldiers above.
She took off her shirt and replaced it with the Star-Spangled Banner on the watchtower.
She managed to catch everyone's attention and at the same time grab everyone's ears:
"Soldiers, would you rather be buried in a pit than resist?"
"You've just lost your guns, aren't your fists and teeth weapons?!"
She waved a huge flag in her hand, and her body was dazzlingly white and dazzling, making many people bow their heads in shame and dare not look at her.
"Resist! Take the guns from their hands and resist! ”
"I'd rather my body be beaten to shreds than let you see that when I die, there won't be a single extra wound on my body!"
……
She infiltrated the city of Kopache at night, and with her nimble nose retrieved the surviving Indian soldiers from the ruins one by one.
"I'm General Kopache personally appointed by Ikaruga himself!"
She took a letter of commission written to her by the turtledove, with the words 'General Kopacz' written in vermilion pen and ink, and showed it to the grizzled soldiers.
"The turtledove knows you're alive, he knows you've been fighting—Kopache is shattered, but it's still our Kopac!"
"Listen, soldiers, the fight shouldn't stop as long as we're alive!"
"Thomas Jackson can blast the city of Copache with cannons, but he can't break our resolve to resist - I command you, from now on, to attack every American soldier you see!"
"Don't tell me how many enemies there are, and don't ask me how I should attack - you can decide for yourself, just don't stop!"
"Go, it's an order!"

The war in Kopacz may be going on for a long time.
If there were no other unexpected interferences, Hai's battle at Kopacz would have ended in defeat.
But the meaning of street fighting is never to win a direct victory, but more importantly, it can effectively drag the enemy.
Killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 self is extremely not cost-effective. But while both sides are bleeding, they can't do anything, and the enemy can't do anything.
The beauty of war being regarded as an art and being studied repeatedly by almost everyone is that any war is a systematic and ever-changing work.
No battle existed in isolation—three hundred gladiators could defend Hot Springs in the face of an army of 100,000, and they must have invested more than 100,000 troops elsewhere; Napoleon's victory at Toulon was by no means merely his 100 cannons; Even if it is a guy wearing underwear, it can blast the earth with one punch, it must be because its fist gathers the power of more than one earth from all directions......
A seemingly isolated battle, they will come together into a system, influence each other, and finally form a whole that determines which direction the scales of a series of battles should be tilted.
At Copacz, Thomas Jackson clearly has more weight – but he can't distribute the extra weight to the Alamo!
At Alamo, William Sherman had to move into the Madre Mountains overnight.
The magic of war is that when the defeated side thinks that it has only lost a little bit - maybe it is still proud that it was able to escape with blood, but it does not know that the balance of war has begun to tilt.
A tilt of 1 degree means a tilt of 90 degrees and the balance will be completely overturned.
Fifteen listened to the most beautiful sound in the world, walking from late night to dawn, the sword at his waist and the book in his hand stained with blood.
A black guy suddenly got up from the pile of dead people, holding two dog tags in his hand, and shouted at him: "General, general, go this way, I am my own ......"
