Chapter 481 Pursuit

The southern army's left road.

The battle between the Chinese mercenaries and the Northern Army's right army entered a critical moment, and the attention of all parties was attracted.

However, at this time, something happened on the right side of the Confederate Army.

A cavalry force of 2,000 men suddenly appeared southwest of the right flank of the defense line.

"Mr. Bush, what should we do? It's the enemy's cavalry!" Ogo shouted.

The sudden appearance of the cavalry made these white mercenaries panic.

"Don't be chaotic, hold on to the defense line, I'll go to the center for help." Bush no longer has a reserve team on hand.

Now only the Southern Allied forces in the center have not moved.

But General Drayton kept the army in the center unmoved because the Union army on the opposite side also didn't move in the center.

The rear headquarters of the Confederate Army.

"General, we are asking for reinforcements on the right. The enemy has two thousand cavalry coming from the southeast. The right is about to be surrounded by the enemy."

"boom!"

Drayton punched the wooden table. The coffee cup on the table jumped and dark brown coffee splashed onto the table.

"Damn Mueller, there are so many tricks in his hands. Tell Bush, I will give him reinforcements, but tell him that the Chinese on the left were also attacked by enemy gunboats, but they withstood it themselves."

"Order the center to transfer a thousand men to the right to support." General Drayton said.

The troops in the center could not move too much. Drayton was worried that Muller was going to create a situation on both wings and then force himself to move all the troops in the center.

Then Muller led his men to break through directly from the middle.

At that point, everything is lost.

On the left wing of the Confederate army, the Chinese mercenaries and the right army of the Northern army were already fighting together.

But the Chinese side had the advantage both in numbers and tactics.

To be honest, Yangtze Security has never fought such a tough battle since its debut.

Such a battle is a test and a baptism for the team members.

"General, we still have a reserve of a thousand people, do you want to send them up?" the staff officer said to Wall in the headquarters behind the left wing of the Southern Army.

"No need, our boys are great. Although they are fighting very hard now, the victory belongs to us." Wall shook his head and said.

He has already seen that his side has an absolute advantage.

The Northern Army on the opposite side was just struggling to hold on.

In the headquarters of the Northern Army's rear.

"General, would you like to send someone to support the right wing? They are fighting with those Chinese mercenaries. But the number of our right wing army is much smaller than that of the other side. In the previous battle, the soldiers were too seriously injured.

” a staff officer said to Mueller.

At this time, Muller still had five to six thousand men in the central army, including nearly two thousand men under Thomas.

Thomas's Pistol Regiment has a strong will to fight because it has a grudge against the Confederate Army. It is now considered the elite of the Northern Army.

"Should we send Lieutenant Colonel Thomas' pistol regiment up? They have strong close combat capabilities. Now that the two sides are fighting together on the right, the pistol regiment will definitely be able to perform miraculously in the past." The staff's suggestion sounded really good. Thomas, because he commanded the pistol

Regiment, has now been designated as Lieutenant Colonel.

Although the staff's opinion sounds good, as the commander, Mueller must consider the overall situation.

"No, the center on the opposite side is their main force. We are now holding back the center of the Southern Army. We must stay calm. Drayton on the opposite side is not a vegetarian either. Our left side will soon produce results.

Already." Mueller pointed his finger to the southwest.

The two thousand cavalry sent out before have now appeared in the field of view of the telescope.

As long as our left wing can defeat the Texas mercenary group, then the entire battlefield can be revitalized.

But the situation on the right worried him.

Now that the two sides are fighting together, the winner will be determined quickly.

Mueller also felt a little nervous.

If the right wing collapses before the left wing breaks through, then all your previous efforts will also be wasted.

At this time, his center must not move.

Be sure to hold still.

Muller reminded himself in his mind.

Return to the Confederate right wing.

"Your Excellency, Commander, General Drayton has only sent a thousand men to support us." A messenger came panting and reported.

"What, one thousand people, the enemy's two thousand cavalry are about to come and kill them." Bush roared.

"Ogo, order the troops to retract to the center." Bush could only retract the troops near the south, otherwise those troops would definitely collapse in the face of the enemy's cavalry attack.

But he didn't think about it. In this case, shrinking the army was also likely to cause a collapse.

It's just that one is earlier and the other is later.

The Confederate army deployed a thousand troops in the middle to support the southern battlefield, and naturally they could not escape Muller's eyes.

"It seems that Drayton can't sit still anymore. Let's put some more pressure on him." Muller said with a smile and the corners of his mouth raised.

"Order the reserve team in the center to move forward, and let's put more pressure on Drayton." Muller ordered.

At this time, on the battlefield on the north side, the winner finally emerged.

The Northern Army, which suffered heavy casualties, finally collapsed. At first, some soldiers turned and fled.

Immediately afterwards, this situation spread to the entire right wing of the Northern Army.

Naturally, Yangtze Security would not let them go. The team members chased them with guns drawn.

Shotgunners can knock down an enemy with almost every shot they shoot at the enemy's back.

"Kill!" the charge whistle sounded.

These Northern troops could not understand what the pursuing Chinese mercenaries were shouting.

Once morale collapses, the only thought left in the hearts of the soldiers is to survive.

But on the battlefield, the fastest time for soldiers to die or get injured is precisely when they are fleeing.

Therefore, the members of Yangtze Security must pursue them now, because now is the best time to kill the enemy's vital forces.

"What? The left army was defeated so quickly. How did this bastard Melki command it?" At this time, General Muller no longer felt as complacent as before.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Melki, nor can it be blamed on the Northern Army soldiers on the right.

Their casualties had already exceeded half. If they were ordinary soldiers, they would have collapsed.

From the beginning, they suffered a lot of casualties from the Yangtze River Security Department.

When they charged forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat, they were bombarded by grenades. Because they always adopted a dense formation, they suffered heavy casualties.

When Yangtze Security counterattacked, they were caught off guard and killed.

At this time, Mueller should actually send a force to support him.

But Muller couldn't do this because he was facing the main force of the Confederate army. If he moved, Drayton would probably come out.

If the center cannot stop the Confederate army, then the armies on both wings are likely to be surrounded by the enemy.

"Commander Thomas, take your men to pick up the retreating right army." This was a good opportunity to attack the center, but there was no way to seize it now.

"Yes, General Mueller." Thomas quickly went to greet his men and set off. He didn't expect that these Chinese mercenaries would continue to fight this time.

Thomas knew very well that these Chinese mercenaries were the most difficult to deal with among the Confederate army.

Muller was very anxious and couldn't help but look to the southwest.

At this time, the cavalry he sent finally arrived.

Bush handed over the rightmost side of the defense line to those small mercenary groups for defense because he felt that the enemy in front was the main force of the Northern Army.

At this time, these small mercenary groups were retreating to the center according to Bush's order.

However, the cavalry of the Northern Army suddenly joined in and charged in. The infantry who had stopped on the opposite side also began to charge.

There is no way these mercenaries can cope with sudden changes.

As a result, the rout spread from some small mercenary regiments to the entire right wing of the Confederate army.

Even if Bush stepped forward in person, he could not control these defeated mercenaries.

Bush regretted deeply that he should not have ordered his men to shrink their troops.

Now the reduction of troops has turned into a great rout.

He obviously overestimated his men. Can these people still move when facing such great pressure from the enemy?

At this time, movement is worse than stillness.

You can still hold on behind the bunker for a while. When you leave the bunker and see the enemy cavalry coming, it would be strange if these people don't break up!

Mueller didn't know whether to be happy or angry. The left had won, but the right had failed.

This battle is like a pot of raw rice!

"Send someone to tell Thomas to hold back the Chinese mercenaries on the right wing, and the remaining people will follow me and press up from the center."

Muller knew that the Confederate army on the opposite side must be unsettled when he saw his right wing defeated.

And pressing forward now is equivalent to flanking the enemy's central army with the left army and cavalry on our side.

The current prerequisite is that the Right Route Army and the local Chinese mercenary group will be there for a while.

At this point in the battle, the battle has entered its most critical moment.

Among the Confederate troops on the opposite side, Drayton felt the same way.

"Damn Bush, you know these Texans are unreliable. They are worse than Chinese mercenaries."

"Pass my order and have Hua'er drive the fleeing Northern Army toward the center. Divide another two thousand people from the center to set up a defense line on the right. Let Bush take his men to bypass the defense line and repair it at the back.

." General Drayton ordered.

But at this time, Bush on the right had no time to gather his troops.

How can two legs run faster than four legs?

Those mercenaries who fled could only hope to outrun their teammates.

The mercenaries who ran at the back died one after another under the swords of the Northern Army cavalry.

Killing the Southern troops, who were also white men, did not burden these Northern cavalrymen at all.

In the eyes of a Massachusetts native, perhaps only Massachusetts residents are his compatriots.

At this time, most Americans still recognize their own state more.

Otherwise, during the Civil War, many officers and soldiers serving in the Union would not have left the Union army where they served and returned to their hometowns.

Then turn around and fight the federal army again.

"Mr. Bush, let's go!" Ogo gathered some people to escort Bush and ran towards the middle road to the north.

At this time, Bush simply wanted the enemy to shoot him down. He was too embarrassed to retreat.

What General Drayton had just said was still lingering in his ears.

Is it true that I am not as good as that Hua'er, and are the white people under me not even as good as those short yellow people?

Successive defeats severely damaged Bush's confidence.

"Where is General Bush?" A messenger on horseback shouted loudly.

"Get down here!" Bush asked the soldiers below to respond.

The messenger quickly rode over, and from a long distance away, the man shouted loudly: "General Drayton has deployed a new line of defense on the right wing. He ordered you to gather your troops and go around to the rear for repairs. The left wing army has already

The Northern Army is defeated, and they will soon come to the center to support them."

Hearing that the left wing had actually won, Bush didn't know why he couldn't be happy at all.

An image of Hua'er's contempt for him flashed through his mind.

"Ogo, you go gather more people, and we will go back to the center and wait for the opportunity to counterattack. Tell the soldiers below that the Texans are not cowards," Bush said.

"Yes, Mr. Bush, Texans are not cowards!" Ogo followed the order and left.

Soon the slogan "Texans have no cowards" came to mind on the battlefield.

Many soldiers who were fleeing turned around and charged at the Union cavalry with bayonets drawn.

This fearless countercharge cannot stop the enemy.

But it bought others valuable time.

Bush's team gathered more and more, but they still couldn't organize an effective counterattack.

The Union cavalry and the infantry on the left were pursued very urgently by Bush's men.

A group of Bush people fled across a grassy slope in embarrassment. Finally they met reinforcements here.

"Commander Bush, take yours to our rear for repairs," the leading officer shouted.

Bush saw about 3,000 people here. These were two batches of reinforcements.

Although he was not optimistic about these people, Bush still did not say anything.

In disgrace, he led the men to the rear of the defense line.

At this time, he had time to look back at his men.

This sight almost made him vomit blood. There were only about a thousand people following him.

After entering the Kansas area, he lost nearly 5,000 men and horses.

Even though his father was the governor, his family has deep roots in Texas.

Such a huge loss was enough to prevent him from returning to Texas.

Who knows one day the family members of the fallen soldiers will come to seek revenge.

"Kansas here is a fucking meat grinder," Bush cursed in his mind.

At first I thought the Northern Army here was just some stragglers. I didn't expect these people to be so capable in combat.

He and his Texas mercenaries suffered repeated defeats.

On the left side of the Confederate army, Wall finally led his reserve team to the front line.

It was not because we wanted to pursue the enemy. It was because news of the failure of the right flank had spread.

Wall knew that at this time the entire Southern Army could only rely on the Chinese mercenary group to turn the tide.

He now has to compete with the enemy appearing on the right. Whoever reaches the middle first may be the final winner.

Previously, the Northern Army's right-leg army had been killed by Yangtze River Security and had their armor abandoned.

The Northern Army suffered heavy casualties, and the Yangtze River Security team drove them all the way to the center.

Just when everyone was feeling satisfied, suddenly nearly two thousand horse-mounted infantrymen came over.

These men were all armed with rifles and revolvers.

Seeing this situation, Wall quickly gathered his men and blocked the enemy's reinforcements on the spot.

Thomas led his men from the center to the right as quickly as possible.

He saw that the few hundred broken troops left on the right were still running towards him.

Thomas knew that he had arrived too late. The seven or eight thousand people on the right were now dead and wounded.

These Chinese mercenaries are really ruthless.
