Chapter 142 swept the Northwest states
South Dakota
The state is located in the transition zone between the grasslands and the Rocky Mountains in the northwest of North America, with high terrain in the west and low in the east, reducing from an average altitude of more than 1,600 meters in the Colorado Plateau to an average of about 400~500 meters.
The Missouri River, which runs through the territory, divides the state into two parts, roughly equal to Hedong and Hexi, and the eastern prairie is forestless and fertile for agriculture.
The west is the rolling high plain, along the White River and Cheyenne River Badlands area rugged area, the length is about 160 kilometers, the southwest corner is the Blake Hills area, the dome-shaped peaks are 1100 meters above the surrounding plains, Hani Peak is 2209 meters above sea level, is the highest point east of the Rocky Mountains in North America.
Peel, South Dakota's largest city, is located on the Missouri River Plains, with the Grande, Morrow, Cheyenne, Bard and White rivers nearby.
It was the middle of winter
The temperature in the area drops to a minimum of minus 10 degrees Celsius at night and a maximum of 8 degrees Celsius during the day.
Richard arrived here with a large group of cavalry, each dressed in thick winter clothes, wearing a hanging ear velvet hat with a plush mask on his head, which looked a bit like the thunder hood of a later winter battery car, and wore flocked gloves on his hands.
The only thing that came out was the clear eyes, and the eyebrows were covered with hoarfrost under the warm breath, adding a fierce and murderous aura.
All the cavalry wore white cloaks, which were used to keep the cold winds out and keep them warm.
Richard wears a black demon mask, which is integrated with the entire helmet, which is essentially a bulletproof mask and helmet produced by the system, which is actually a sharp weapon for home travel, murder and arson, and additional deterrence.
His sharp eyes flashed coldly, and he stretched out his arm to hang in the air, and at this time, a white-headed sea sculpture with a wingspan of 1.6 meters glided from the air, and in the blink of an eye, it stopped firmly on his arm.
In the awe-inspiring eyes of all the soldiers, Richard reached out and touched the head of the white-headed sea wither, and then reached out and took out a fist-sized piece of fresh meat and threw it in the air.
I saw that this bald sea withered mouth like electricity, and its sharp beak lifted the piece of meat in its mouth, and swallowed it into its stomach in two clicks, as if it had eaten a delicious little pastry.
Observe for a moment
With a volley of Richard's left arm, he threw the huge bald sea sculpture more than ten meters in the air, and then the bald sea eagle fluttered its wings and flew high.
"Colonel Harry Frezi, take your cavalry and follow the Bald Sea Wither, follow its direction and attack Peel City, go."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Colonel Harry Frezzi replied with a respectful look on his fist.
Then he turned and shouted at his men; "Brethren of the Left Cavalry Regiment, follow me in."
After saying that, he galloped wildly, and a large number of black-pressed cavalry behind him followed closely and slaughtered towards the city of Peel, which was several kilometers away.
Countless horses' hooves trampled on the solid ground in the bitter cold, tossing the remnants of snow and grass clippings, mixing into mud under the crushing of iron hooves, and the whole earth trembled.
View from above
More than 3,000 cavalry led by Colonel Harry Freizzi were like sharp arrows, rushing headlong into the weakly defended northeast of Peel City.
In this city of more than 42,000 people, more than 2,500 soldiers and nearly 2,000 militia members gathered by the U.S. military focused on defense, and set up defensive camps and defensive trenches on the periphery of the city, especially in the west and south of Peel City, and gathered most of the troops here.
Didn't think about it
The Tang Kingdom chiseled through from the northeast direction where the defense was weak, and the fierce slaughter entered, breaking through the defense like a piece of paper.
This is because of the long-term slackness, and second, the defense itself in the northeast is fragile, coupled with the cold weather, the poorly disciplined American militiamen are hiding in their houses to keep warm, where can they gather in a hurry?
On this harsh winter morning
The long-quiet city of Peel rang out with the sound of crisp gunfire, and then a burst of tightness, accompanied by shouts of killing, screams of terror and fire, and it didn't take long for Peel City to be plunged into a bloody storm.
"Your Majesty, the deserters are coming."
Lieutenant Colonel Liu Wu pointed ahead with an excited expression, and sure enough, the outline of Peel City on the distant skyline loomed, and a large number of black dots poured out from the south of the city, fleeing like lost dogs.
The great reputation of the Eastern Devil Cavalry is not a joke, it is widely spread in the northwestern states, and these white young men do not want to be captured and enslaved, so they can only escape.
Richard's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold light to the bone, and he commanded in a low voice; "Colonel Gao Shiheng of the Forward Army, Colonel Zheng Laosi of the Right Route Army, now that your prey has appeared, go hunt to your heart's content, and let the recruits have blood on their hands."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gao Shiheng and Zheng Laosi saluted respectfully, then quickly turned around and jumped on the horse, leading their subordinates to surround and kill.
The wolf has more meat and less meat, and its hands are fast and slow.
So, on this cold and bone-chilling ice and snow grassland, a cruel cavalry strangulation was performed, and the shouts of the charge and the guns of the cavalry rang out sporadically, making the ice and snow grassland dyed with a dazzling red one after another.
About 4,000 to 5,000 U.S. soldiers and local militiamen escaped from Peel City, including many city residents, who fled in horse-drawn wagons.
Behind them
The sound of fire, gunfire and shouts of killing had spread throughout the city, and the streets were littered with corpses, and the Eastern devil cavalry with shining sabers in their hands roamed and frightened the souls of the local whites.
By the time these white soldiers and civilians who had fled the city found that a large number of Eastern cavalry had galloped on the left and right, it was already too late.
Running desperately, he was cut off to the ground by the cavalry chasing behind him, and the red blood spilled out, staining the remnants of snow red.
Kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, he was also beheaded by a speeding cavalryman, and fell to the ground and died.
Trying to hold a knife to give stubborn resistance, he was immediately knocked over by a bullet......
The screams and one-sided slaughter in the Ice Wasteland continued for more than an hour, and the red-eyed cavalry poured into the city, bringing even more devastation to the local white population.
Peel City struggled with the wails of pain and the ravages of war......
Around noon
Richard led the cavalry of the Chinese army into the city slowly, the military band played a triumphant song, the fierce battle flag fluttered, all the cavalry lined up on both sides of the street, holding the blood-stained war knife in his hand on his chest, the tip of the knife was upward, and welcomed His Majesty the King into the city with the highest etiquette of cavalry.
"Tang Kingdom, Wansheng...... Wansheng ...... Victory ......"
"Long live the king...... Banzai...... Hooray......"
The blood-stained cavalry cheered loudly, and all watched with reverence as His Majesty the King with the mask of the Demon King slowly walked forward, he had become a towering monument in the hearts of all officers and soldiers, sacred and inviolable.
On the streets where red blood could be seen everywhere, after a simple cleanup, the corpses were dragged to the side of the road, and the cuirassiers of the royal family in bright armor unfurled their flags and escorted the king to the central square of the city.
Over here
The remaining 30,000 or so white city dwellers all knelt on the ground, waiting in fear for the arrival of the monarch who would determine their fate, and uncontrollable cries were heard from the crowd.
Richard's gaze looked at them, cold and not the slightest warmth, and commanded; "You are all old people who have been with me for a long time, do you still want me to teach you how to do it? Why has it not been classified so far, tell the soldiers that they only have two days of revelry, take as much capture as they can and take it all to themselves, load it into the carriage as soon as possible, and prepare to return, there will be several tough battles here soon. ”
"Please forgive your majesty, Weichen and the others will do it immediately."
"Let the lads relax, it's too tiring to travel these days, only two days understand?"
"The ministers understand, thank Your Majesty for loving the soldiers like sons, and the ministers are ashamed."
Richard waved his hand, and Colonel Harry Freezie immediately went to deliver the royal order, and then the cheers of the soldiers rang out like a tsunami, and the sound shook the sky.
And the white inhabitants with frightened faces were already trembling, and they had no ability to resist at all, so they could only let it be destroyed......
The news of the fall of Peel City spread almost immediately throughout the Northwest states and the Great Lakes region, causing great panic among local white Americans and violent social upheaval.
Two days later
The cavalry of the Tang Kingdom, entrenched in Peel City, attacked everywhere with cavalry regiments as units, swept through South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota and other towns like wildfire, wantonly burned and looted, and plundered people, materials, cattle, sheep and wagons, and once again caused heavy damage to the Northwest states.
Huge numbers of people, wagons, cattle and sheep converge on Peel City, and from here, waves are transported to the Colorado Plateau.
A total of more than 100,000 people (more than 80% of them were young women, and the rest were white prisoners), more than 100,000 cattle and sheep and more than 8,000 carriages, escorted by thousands of cavalry, wept and cried all the way south.
More than ten days later
On Christmas Eve, more than 50,000 U.S. troops from Kansas City and Detroit marched toward Peel.
The general who led this unprecedented American army was none other than General Taylor, who had distinguished himself in the Southern invasion of Mexico, and General Taylor had been promoted to the rank of general, becoming the highest-ranking soldier in the U.S. Continental Army and a general with legendary glory.
It's just that Admiral Taylor is not in a good mood right now.
He was urgently drafted from Mexico, arrived at Naval Base Norfolk by boat, took an overnight train to Washington, D.C., met President Polk at the White House, and then took over the tricky military appointment.
The time left for him was too short, and Admiral Taylor's meeting with the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Arthur Temple, and the Secretary of War, George Levinson, was on the train to learn more about the Tang Kingdom from them.
The train departed Washington, D.C., passed through Philadelphia and headed west into the Great Lakes region to the metropolis of Chicago, 11 days after the fall of Peel.
At this time, reinforcements from all over the United States were arriving, and the Chicago train station was full of military personnel, crowded like a wet market.
In order to cope with the large force of cavalry killed from the plateau, the American army had to transport the heavy troops and supplies hoarded in Kansas City to Chicago by train, and it was really busy to hit the back of the head.
Admiral Taylor upon arrival
What I saw was a chaotic scene, the cavalry brigade could not find the commander of the cavalry regiment, the musket regiment could not find the camp arranged for it, and the troops from all over the country fought for tents and materials, and the soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers, which was simply a complete disaster.
How can such a force fight?
