Chapter 319 Great victory!
"Your Majesty! We caught a few big fish!"
Not long after Song Yulong and the others came, Wufeng Dao also came. In fact, the US military in his direction also surrendered, but this guy was still a little late. Of course, in the scene just now, His Majesty the Emperor was full of poetry and the Imperial Army was extremely powerful. Wufeng Dao also saw it, and he was really shocked.
However, this time he did not come alone.
"Oh, you are here too." Li Mengyang then walked out of the state he had just now...
In fact, that poem is really inspired by the thoughts. Such a scene, such a place, such a fierce battle, and the entire Vicksburg Battle now seems to be a battle, and this battle is really like a barrier!
The poem is called "Remembering Qin'e. Loushan Pass". It was the Red Army who broke through countless difficulties and completed its Long March. Li Mengyang felt that the Battle of Vicksburg was the same, and it was a huge barrier. The soldiers of himself, the empire and the empire finally broke through!
Well, it's not original, but I can't help it. My feelings really inspired the soldiers of the empire. They shouted the slogans so loudly that many soldiers shed hot tears.
As soon as Wufeng came, Li Mengyang came to his senses, but Li Mengyang naturally saw that Wufeng was not here alone.
"Walk!"
"Kneel down!"
Wufeng is now at the level of a general, so naturally it is impossible for him to come alone, Wang Shijie led a team of men. The most special thing is that several of them were wearing the uniforms of the United States Army, and they were also officers’ uniforms. Moreover, their ranks were not low.
"This is..." Li Mengyang almost understood as soon as he saw that the beard in front of him was wearing a United States military uniform, with a big beard on his face, and he was a little bald, but his eyes were fierce. It should be Sherman!
"Your Majesty! I'm fortunate to be humiliated by the old master! Haha, by the way, this was captured by Wang Shijie and the others. This is Sherman! And that old man is General Mead, and the others are all high-ranking officials of the United States Army. Hahaha... Your Majesty! This depends on your Majesty's holy power!" Wu Feng was very happy. He was very powerful this time and directly captured all the main high-ranking officials of the United States Army and caught them all in one go.
"You thugs! Uncivilized monkeys! Why should I kneel!" Sherman's neck was very hard, but although he said that, his knees had been bent long ago. There was no way. Can he still be able to beat him at this time? Don't kneel?
I'll kick you a few more!
"Old Taoist! You are not bad, haha..." Li Mengyang was naturally happy. To be honest, he really didn't expect that he could catch a big boss like Sherman.
You know, the United States army in Vicksburg is about 100,000. Although he does not have a definite number, he can probably estimate it by looking down on the hill for so many days. Even if they are defeated, how can the big boss be so easy to catch?
"You tyrant! Don't think of humiliating us! Come on! Give me some fun!" The veteran general Mead was very tough, but to be honest, this attitude...
He didn't think that the American Empire was just a place to kill people casually, right?
Li Mengyang felt a little complaining, but if these individuals caught them, they would naturally not slaughter them easily. They wouldn't say anything. Killing them is not a big deal, just a knife, but these individuals can do some business...
Well, I caught Maximiliano I and the French general when I was in Mexico. This is also a big shot, but unfortunately, there was no letter from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and France didn't care about it anymore, so the business was not done... Li Mengyang felt that it might be because of the PASAC war, and I'm afraid the Habsburg family might be worried that Li Mengyang would ask for a price all over the place... Anyway, there is not much news yet, so I can only waste white rice. Alas~
But no matter what, people like Sherman have to keep them, what if they are useful in the future, right?
At this time, Song Yulong, Gao Zhenyu and Yang Weili couldn't help but look at each other.
This is very simple, they all sighed in their hearts that Wu Feng’s luck is really great!
Yes, their Northern Army trio came first to "rescue the horse", so their contributions must be greater, but now, Wu Feng has captured the opponent's big boss and snatched the limelight!
This kind of mentality is so normal, but is Wu Feng really lucky?
Let's put it this way, there are luck, but there are other things.
If we say that the United States Army is so large and has a very large size, we can say that the entire war zone is a city. Of course it will not be too big, but it is not small, much larger than some small cities in the west. However, in order to resist the Imperial Army coming up behind, they "retracted" themselves in front.
Because we need to use the trench defense line that has been dug before to confront the Imperial Army in Vicksburg and besieged.
But although it has been reduced, it is also very large. The Imperial Army, namely the North Road and the South Road, the troops from Song Yulong and Wufeng Old Dao, started fighting as soon as they arrived, in order to rescue His Majesty the Emperor as quickly as possible.
They only realized that the other party had arrived after the fight started, because it was because of the sound of cannons. But at this time they didn’t think about meeting, because it was more important to rescue the driver, and the speed was the best!
But at this time, the shells on Wufeng were exhausted, so... hey, it was Wang Shijie who went to borrow the shells. On this road, they met Sherman and Mead who were running away!
It's indeed a coincidence, but this is also very interesting.
Yes, you can tell by simply investigating that your army was not surrounded by opponents, and there was a big vacant in the east. Isn’t this God’s gift?
Sherman thought so at that time, so he naturally broke through this place with his miserable troops.
And in this team that broke through, there were naturally all the senior members, so they naturally had to take Mead with them.
Why not leave Mead in this dead place?
Sherman is not stupid. He must take Mead with him. Although this old guy was excluded by General Grant, this old guy is useful now.
Take the blame!
If the Vicksburg War is such a crushing defeat, then I, Sherman, have the responsibility, but the biggest responsibility must be you Mead!
Anyway, Sherman had already thought about the words, and General Grant would definitely help him, so Mead was the one who took the blame, but Mead had to leave. So, even if he knew he would take the blame in the future, he could not stay.
Originally, all the scripts had been written by Sherman, but suddenly the escape team he led met Wang Shijie's team.
In fact, Wang Shijie led the team at that time, and there were not many people, just more horses. In order to pull shells, you are embarrassed to even use the Northern Army of the pack horses, but, however, it was just such a platoon, after encountering these United States troops...
Sherman's side was disbanded!
Many people, at least two thousand, were useless. At this time, they were already scared and had no will to fight. When they met the Imperial Army, they felt that they were completely surrounded.
Moreover, the Imperial Army's guns have a long range. Once they encounter or hit, they still suffer losses. They really can't stand it!
So, this situation occurred, and at this point, the entire Battle of Vicksburg was finally concluded, and the Imperial Army won a complete victory!
At the Battle of Vicksburg, the Imperial Army's vanguard troops suffered 2,603 casualties and 10 killed, the Northern Army led by Song Yulong was 530 casualties and 217 killed, and the Southern Army led by Wufeng had 612 casualties and 337 killed. During the entire month-long battle, the Imperial Army wiped out Sherman's troops and Mead's troops. Mead's troops were part of the Topomak Army, with more than 70,000 combatants, and more than 30,000 of them were killed. On the last day of the battle, the soldiers of the United States Army later recalled that on this day, he felt that at least more than 10,000 people had died. Anyway, the deaths around him were so common.
Among the prisoners, there were only about 20,000 people at the head and tail, and there were many seriously injured people left, and few were not disabled, and not many could be rescued.
It can really be called the four words "Blood flows into a river"...
The results of the battle can be said to be very brilliant, but if we look at it from the overall perspective, using the familiar term for later online games in Li Mengyang, then the current situation is really like "lighting up the map"!
From the map, the current Imperial Army came out of El Paso and drove straight into the road, basically not caring about both sides, just entering Vicksburg, which is a key point in the southern United States.
To the west of Vicksburg is to the west of the Mississippi River. Because there is such a big river, the United States can actually be divided into two parts in the south under the subdivision. Now that Vicksburg is taken down, other places are really as if they were lit up.
For example, in Texas, the Imperial Army went sideways, and they didn't fight all the way. However, after Vicksburg was taken down, the things and things were separated, so the Texas state had no other choice. They could only listen to the Empire completely.
Yes, those resistance groups, where they resist, there is no point in resisting, because even if you resist, you will fail in the end and have no chance of winning. If you don’t say anything else, who can support them? Where do guns, ammunition, money and food come from?
This situation is actually related to the current railway situation in the United States. That is, in such a place, the railway has not been built, and even the telegram is not developed, so Washington cannot reach his hand!
Therefore, this Vicksburg was taken down and wiped out the entire United Nations army's forces in the south, at least an absolute majority, so this is equivalent to taking all other places into the empire! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
