What's it like to walk in the dark wilderness late at night?

When they didn't dare to light torches, the US soldiers who broke through followed the faint figure with one foot high and one foot low, which was really difficult.

From time to time this night, people fell, either stepping on hard stones, stepping on potholes on the slope, or tripping over bushes, and I don't know how many falls along the way.

It was about 6 o'clock in the morning

The dark and cold night of winter revealed the first touch of fish belly white, and the American soldiers who stumbled and walked in the wilderness for half the night were not 10 kilometers away from the place where they broke through.

In the dim light, the American soldiers with their heads shrunk and two hands in their sleeves numbly followed the flow of people, they were cold, tired, hungry and sleepy, and extremely lacking in spirit.

Some people walked and fell down straight like a stake, and they didn't know if they were dead.

In the U.S. army of the brigade, there were one after another soldiers of the Tang Kingdom wearing gray-blue military uniforms, they were different from the U.S. soldiers who didn't realize the danger at all, and began to look left and right in the flow of people, and consciously gathered together in the hazy light of the early morning.

Exhausted Lieutenant General Samuel Brown, whose military uniform was disheveled and so tired that he could barely lift his legs, stood on the side of the road, his hands pinched around his waist and panting.

Although his body is very strong, after all, he is in his 50s, and he has fallen more than a dozen times on the dark march this night, and now every bone in his body hurts, and the water and rice have not touched his teeth for more than 20 hours.

His energy was already extremely overdrawn, and even his head was wooden, and only an unyielding spirit supported him to persevere.

Mr. General Samuel Brown looked left and right, and every face that passed in front of him was unfamiliar, and the officers and guards of his regimental headquarters did not know where they had gone, and they did not see any of them.

This night was dark and I ran away with my head stuffed, and I don't know where I went?

The strong sense of responsibility cheered up Lieutenant General Samuel Brown, who pinched his brow vigorously and began to shout loudly;

"Hey...... Guys, do you see the officers? ”

"I'm Lieutenant General Samuel Brown, and now I need you guys to find the officers for me, I need the damn map to drink, I need to know where I am now? Need to direct you out of the woods, now who can tell me who the officers are? ”

Many American soldiers walked past with blank expressions, and a few soldiers who heard Lieutenant General Samuel Brown shouting stood down, looked at each other hesitantly, and then replied with a finger of their hand; "I'm sorry General, we don't know where the officers have gone, but I see that there seems to be an officer over there collecting his subordinates."

After speaking, he continued to move forward with the flow of people with a blank expression.

Lieutenant General Samuel Brown; “……”

No way

He couldn't get stuck with a soldier, and now the priority was to find the officer, find a damn map and figure out where it was. Then gather the army and break out in the right direction.

After dawn, it means that danger is coming, and action must be accelerated.

The army of the Tang Kingdom has a Chang'an corps of more than 60,000 people, all of which are cavalry, and it will not take much time for the cavalry to catch up in this unobstructed wilderness.

The sense of duty of a senior officer drove Lieutenant General Samuel Brown to drag his tired body and look for the past in the direction pointed out by the soldiers.

Not for a while

Sure enough, he saw an officer gather a large number of soldiers, so he angrily stepped forward and scolded; "Oh my God, I'll finally find a damn officer, listen...... I'm Lieutenant General Samuel Brown, the commander-in-chief of Detroit, and I'm not going to have coffee or water, and I'm going to get a damn map. God, I've had enough! ”

"Welcome, Lieutenant General Samuel Brown, please allow me to introduce myself, Colonel Fan Pengju, commander of the 502nd Division, who will be happy to serve you." The officer stepped forward with a command knife in hand, looked at the stunned Lieutenant General Samuel Brown with a smile on his face, and said a word of encouragement; "On behalf of Admiral Chen Chuan of the Northern Corps of the Tang Kingdom, I would like to welcome you and hope that you can surrender to me with dignity."

"Oh, sell cakes......" Lieutenant General Samuel Brown came back to his senses at this time, and noticed that the military uniform on the officer in front of him was different, and he looked around again, and there was a circle of soldiers from the Tang Kingdom who surrounded him with ill intentions.

He immediately sat down on the ground with his legs limp, and the confidence that supported Lieutenant General Samuel Brown to hold on to the end collapsed......

It was about 6:30 a.m., and it was getting brighter again.

Colonel Fan Pengju did not hesitate to pick up the gun in his hand and shoot twice into the sky, shouting loudly; "We are the army of the Tang Kingdom, everyone put down their guns for me, surrender and don't kill, resist and shoot immediately!"

The crisp sound of gunfire spread far away in the wilderness, and the gunfire was the signal, and the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom who were mixed with the crowd raised their guns one after another, aimed at the bewildered American soldiers, and shouted loudly, "Surrender and don't kill, resist and shoot!" ”

This sudden reversal made many numb American soldiers hesitate for a short time, and then dropped the guns in their hands, and they were extremely tired and had no confidence to resist.

There were many gunshots scattered in the wilderness, but on the whole, a large number of American soldiers raised their hands in surrender, and only a few resisted.

Colonel Fan Pengfei immediately arranged for the soldiers to collect the prisoners and gather his subordinates to prepare for the pursuit, so as to completely annihilate the enemy army.

The sky is getting brighter

From a distance, you can see some American soldiers stumbling and fleeing in the wilderness, and those are some of the first American soldiers to break through the encirclement, and they have also walked the farthest, and they have not been captured by the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom for the time being.

Escape...... Where can you escape?

After dawn, this wilderness is the world of the Chang'an cavalry legion, and it is wiser to sit quietly and wait for the captives than to flee in vain.

Any refusal to surrender and resist is a dead end.

"Hey, man, I hear your accent is Georgian, and so am I, for God's sake, will you please raise your hand and let me go?"

"Shut up idiot, give me a quiet place there."

"Oh God...... Why are you doing this? ”

Faintly hearing the pleading voice of the American prisoners not far away, Colonel Fan Pengju turned his head to take a look, only to see the white soldier of the 502nd Division raised the butt of his rifle and smashed it hard, and immediately smashed the American prisoner with a bloody face and fell to the ground.

The white soldier spat at the American prisoner and said swearingly; "What bullshit Georgians, Lao Tzu is a soldier of the Tang Kingdom, don't provoke me, you dirty and lowly pigs, otherwise you will blow your head with one shot, and I will squat with my head in my hands."

Colonel Fan Pengju smiled disapprovingly and shook his head, and walked towards the direction where the soldiers were concentrated, quickly leaving these little things behind.

As long as the white soldiers of the 502nd Division are not stupid to get home, no one will do such a stupid thing of arranging prisoners privately.

To be able to enter the 502nd Division and become a white soldier, everyone here has experienced countless bloody battles, and it can be said that the lucky ones who crawled out of the pile of dead can receive awards for meritorious service and enjoy the same treatment as Chinese soldiers.

Once the water is reversed, won't it all be in the soup?

Moreover, it is a serious violation of military discipline to privately hold prisoners, so even if he is released, where can he go?

More than 10 minutes later

The earthquake trembled in the wilderness, and from a distance, the black-pressed cavalry rushed quickly, and the "boom" sound of thousands of galloping horses was like muffled thunder, and the momentum was amazing.

Looking at the banner fluttering in the wind, it turned out that a unit of the Omaha Cavalry Division had arrived, and after briefly asking about the situation on the battlefield, these cavalry immediately galloped in the direction of the American army's escape......

Look up

A few bald eagles soaring high in the sky hovered over the battlefield, occasionally emitting a terrible eagle whistle, echoing in the clear sky of winter......

Romulus County

This is a small city 33 kilometers southwest of Detroit, and it is the starting position of the cavalry-based Chang'an Corps, and His Majesty's royal car is also stationed here, which is closer to the Detroit battlefield.

One after another, the huge bald eagles flew back, and after Richard leisurely fed the fresh meat strips, he cleaned his hands with warm water and turned back to the Gothic manor where he was temporarily stationed.

Although he did not go to the front line in person, every move on the front line battlefield was like a palm print, and he could not escape Richard's superhuman perception.

Today's army generals are thriving, and there is no need for the king to be on the front line to command, although there are still some flaws and deficiencies in the command of the large corps, but the performance is remarkable.

Richard naturally did not nitpick and demanded that the generals not make mistakes at all, and in such a super-large battle, even if thousands of casualties were paid, it was normal and could not be perfect.

To be able to do this is already excellent.

As a high king, it is impossible for Richard to scout the enemy for his generals, even if a battle is lost and tens of thousands of people are lost, it is only the tuition fee that should be paid, and the painful price of growing up.

Fortunately, this situation did not appear, and the performance of these high-ranking generals of the Tang Kingdom made Richard very satisfied, especially the bold commander of the 502nd Division, who actually ordered the entire division to follow the American army for most of the night, fought a beautiful chaotic battle, and captured tens of thousands of American soldiers.

The 27,000 U.S. troops under Lieutenant General Samuel Brown broke through and lost thousands on the way.

When breaking through, the remnants of nearly 4,000 American troops led by Major General McDeven attracted firepower, and they were all buried.

The people who were really able to break through were about 16,700 people, and in the second half of the night, another two or three thousand people were lost, and the rest were captured by the 502nd Division of nearly 10,000 people, and the rest of the scattered thousands of American troops were basically captured or killed by the cavalry of the Chang'an Corps, and there were very few who could escape.

This battle was won completely and heartily, which greatly reduced the difficulty of attacking Detroit, no wonder Richard was in a very good mood.

The rise of the Tang Kingdom in North America in the 60s of the 19th century is also an era of Chinese heroes and heroes, and the lieutenant generals of the kingdom army are bright and capable, just like the Chinese commander of the 502nd Division performed very well.

Decisive and resolute, not panicked in times of crisis, and daring to make a desperate bet, what a good general!
