On December 7, 1861, in Newark, western New York, it was cold here, and snowflakes were slamming into people's bodies with strong winds, making the dark blue top turn white. ∈ 

"This ghost weather!"

"Yes, it's really cold, but we finally got home James."

"Yes, Nico. It feels so good to go home. At the current speed of advance, we should be able to drive the rebels out of New York soon, right?"

"Haha! God bless us to take back our homeland!"

In such bad weather, a long line of troops was marching. Judging from their conversation, it should be the New York Volunteers sent back to New York by President Lincoln. Just look at their hats and you will know that if a horn plus a 6, they should be the 6th Regiment of New York.

Of course, it is certainly not only them, but there will be more troops behind them, the troops that participated in the Battle of Manassas, and the Pennsylvania troops of Minister of War Cameron.

Now, they have entered Newark, and Newark is in the western part of New York, so close that it is impossible to say. So in this way, is it that these federal soldiers really going to regain New York occupied by the rebels?

"General Wood! Are we moving too fast?"

"General Arms, is there any problem with this?"

The soldiers were walking and the generals were riding horses. Colonel Alfred Wood of the 14th Brooklyn Regiment was seriously injured in the last battle. He was going to retire, but this time something happened in his hometown. Moreover, the mayor of New York City was his own brother, so he could not sit idly by. Now, he is talking to Colonel Arms of the 20th Maine Regiment, a friendly army.

"I don't have much opinion on this. But my friend General Chamberlain has some doubts about it. Hey Joshua, let's talk about it." Colonel Arms is a very strict person. He never pretends to others. This time... it seems that Joshua Chamberlain is still very persuasive.

"General Wood, I am Joshua Chamberlain, Lieutenant Colonel of the Twentieth Regiment. What I want to say is that we are moving too fast now. It's incredible that this is the opponent's trick?"

A blond middle-aged man with a mustache urged him to come right away, and he couldn't wait to talk to Colonel Wood.

Obviously, this person is Lieutenant Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, but I heard that this guy was a teacher in the university and had no combat experience at all. He was appointed as a lieutenant colonel just because of his education. This guy had never seen blood before, and he wanted to command me who came out of the sea of ​​blood?

Thinking of this, Alfred Wood couldn't help but look down on him, and he only heard him say, "New York is nothing but a group of mobs. They are all an army of workers, unemployed people, pickpockets, and gamblers. What kind of combat effectiveness can they have? Maybe when we see us coming, these guys will have internal conflicts first!"

General Wood has extremely confident. He now has 5,000 people, and most of them are veterans who have seen blood. Although they were defeated in Manassas, it doesn’t matter. The veterans are still very strong in combat. As for the 20th Maine Regiment, they were recruited urgently after Manassas. At that time, the entire country was in danger, and Lincoln had a lot of money, so recruit more people.

"General Wood, I think the opponent will never be easily defeated by us. You must know that these guys have defeated the United States' navy before, and that is the navy." Joshua Chamberlain, a patriot who joined the army, dare not say anything else. In terms of knowledge, well, in other words, he has absolute confidence in his mind compared with these soldiers.

"No, that's the Navy, we're the Army! Besides, the Minnesota was hit and sunk, which further shows that those rebels were a group of mobs, they were just lucky!" Alfred Wood was already a little unhappy at this time.

In fact, if others can see that he has always been very rude. At least Chamberlain is a lieutenant colonel, don’t you even shout General Wood?

"General Wood, please don't let the wind and snow cover your eyes." He is worthy of being a literati guy.

"Don't say it anymore! General Chamberlain!" Finally, Wood called someone a general, but anyone could see that Wood was about to get angry.

"Maybe he's right." At this time, an officer with the rank of colonel next to him spoke. He was the commander of the 14th Brooklyn Regiment, Edward Fowler. Because Alfred Wood was seriously injured before and he was about to retire, he naturally had to find someone to replace him. Edward Fowler changed from a lieutenant colonel to a colonel. But now, everyone wants to fight back to New York, so General Wood naturally becomes the military commander, and his eldest brother is the mayor of New York.

"Mr. Fowler, when are you so timid?" General Wood said... It seems they are the ones who are having an internal strife?

"Wood, you!" Fowler was so angry.

In fact, everyone can see at this time that the United States has just lost, and now the battle against New York is progressing so smoothly. If New York can be really won, then the contribution will be too great. The star is not far away!

Alfred Wood's eagerness is too normal, but is it so easy to fight in New York?

"Report!" At this moment, a cavalry rushed over, and the reconnaissance method at this time was basically to shoot the cavalry and let them cruis.

"Please speak." Wood ignored others.

"Private! I found the enemy situation ahead!"

"Huh?" Wood turned to laugh, "Great! Everyone! This is a great time for us to make achievements!"

...

"They are simply a team of weirdos!"

Li Mengyang, wearing a thick cotton jacket and lying in the trench, looked at the opponent's movements from the telescope.

At this time, the Northern Federation Army lined up a large release queue. Before, the group of people walked in step to their own formation and then turned left. Don't say that, they are quite smart.

However, Li Mengyang must complain to his opponents, "weird". It's snowing day. And his opponents are still in blue uniforms now. Well, the pants have been changed a little, and there are fewer people wearing red pants, but this is eye-catching enough?

Look at his team, although there is no way to do military uniforms, he has to be similar to those in the federal side. He has made some small changes. Li Mengyang is also wearing a school official uniform. However, they are all wearing white cloaks. Such protective colors make it difficult for them to be discovered. The reason why they were discovered by their opponents just now was actually Li Mengyang deliberately.

Yes, Li Mengyang has seen the US military's tactics, so he naturally has to test whether these guys are still fighting as they did before. As a result... these guys have not changed at all!

The most important thing is that the democratic revolutionary army led by Li Mengyang is now in the trenches. Yes, they dug trenches before!

Moreover, this trench was built at the intersection of the two railways. The railway to the west had long been destroyed. Otherwise, the federal army could easily come by.

With the back of the railway line, there will be a great advantage in replenishment, so...

To be honest, Li Mengyang thinks this battle is too easy!

"Eastwood, why are these guys not attacking yet?" Matthew was also next to Li Mengyang. He is very wary now because he has been winning.

"Mengyang, are those guys waiting for something?" Mai Youli stood like a guard at this time. He and Li Mengyang were inseparable.

"Of course, they are waiting for the cannon!" Li Mengyang knew very well about the US military's tactics in the morning, and he went back and forth for a few more times.

Sure enough, not long after, several cannons appeared in front of the revolutionary army, with a total of 4. Don’t think that there are few, this is the only configuration these days.

Boom! Boom!

It doesn’t matter if you cannon Master, you don’t have one yet!

Crazy! Crazy!

The shells hit the ground and splashed a lot of soil. It was still early winter and the land was not frozen too strong, but to be honest, this also made the revolutionary army that dug trenches complain.

No one has fought like this these days!

Yes, in the eyes of the soldiers at this time, whether they are militias or professional soldiers, they must think it is very strange. The same is true for the Revolutionary Army in New York. Some of these guys have fought wars and participated in the US-Mexico War more than ten years ago. Therefore, many people think that our commander is crazy... Maybe it is different.

Although there were complaints, they didn't say it out, because Clint Lee was really too prestigious, and now...

Comfortable! It's so comfortable!

This shelling shocked the ground, and there were no casualties at all!

“Oh oh oh!”

"Long live Mr. Clint Lee!"

"Thank God for giving us Clint Lee!"

The Revolutionary Army was lying in the trenches and cheering constantly, because the cannons of this era were very terrifying things. Napoleon swept Europe back to his flexible use of cannons. The relationship between the United States and France was very good, so how could the Americans not know the power of cannons?

"..." General Wood looked at the results of the shelling with a telescope. He could see his opponent, obviously a group of cowards. "They turned themselves into moles! They put on a damn white cloak and scared people there. Do you want to pretend to be a ghost? Soldiers! We want to make them real ghosts!"

I have to say that General Wood is still a good player in morale.

"General!" But after seeing such a result, Lieutenant Colonel Chamberlain's face became even more serious.

"attack!"

But unfortunately, no one could stop Wood's determination, he drew his sword and pointed forward.

Dongdong, Dongdong, "Walk in step!" Beep! Beep!

The long square team was neatly arranged, guided by the slogans of the sermons of the sermons, and everyone carried long rifles and walked towards the opponent's trenches!

"That's what it is like to fight these days." Li Mengyang's face was full of smiles, the kind of smile that could not be stopped. He said to Matthew: "Tell everyone, let the opponent enter 50 meters, and then fire the shot." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
