"Shoot!" On the Yangtze River Security side, small horizontal formations were formed under the organization of each squadron leader.
They aimed their guns at the oncoming Kansas Pistol Regiment and fired a dense volley.
The soldiers of the Pistol Regiment on horseback were knocked off their horses because their targets were too high.
Thomas didn't dare to get any closer. He had personal experience and knew that these Chinese people didn't look amazing.
But their fighting power is amazing and they are indeed not easy to mess with.
Thomas never looked down on these Chinese people because of their race.
Now Thomas's wife's revenge has been avenged. He has already calmed down, and he has to think about Kelly and George.
Now he is also a regiment leader and gets a large amount of military pay every month.
If he dies, Kelly and George will become orphans.
Once people have selfishness, they will become cherishing their lives. Once they start cherishing their lives, they will become steady and calm.
So Thomas is no longer the desperate Thomas who carried out the sneak attack last time.
"Back off!" Thomas shouted.
He took the lead in beating the horse and retreated with his men.
Yangtze Security did not miss any opportunity to kill or injure the enemy.
In just a short time, Thomas's regiment lost hundreds of men.
Thomas discovered that the breech-loading rifle used by the Chinese mercenaries on the opposite side fired extremely fast.
They can achieve a speed of nearly twenty rounds per minute.
After this battle is over, he must find a way to get breech-loading rifles for his pistol regiment.
That way, they could load and finish the shot while on horseback.
Thomas only felt the overwhelming rain of bullets on the opposite side.
He only had 2,000 men in his hands, but there were 5,000 or 6,000 guns pointed at them on the opposite side.
I thought that these Chinese mercenary groups would have suffered heavy casualties after fighting against the Right Army for such a long time.
In fact, this is not the case. The number of the other party does not seem to have decreased much at all.
Of course, this is actually more than a thousand new troops brought in by Wall.
In fact, there were nearly a thousand casualties on the Yangtze River security side in this battle.
This is one of the most frequent incidents in the combat history of the Renaissance Army.
When fighting these Americans, the Renaissance Army does not have a great advantage in weapons.
The Americans have gathered here almost the most advanced weapons in Europe.
Moreover, Americans also have strong weapons manufacturing and innovation capabilities.
The Gatling gun and Colt pistol that changed modern warfare were both made by Americans.
Here, almost everyone has been around guns since childhood.
Even Dong Shuheng, who is far away in China, understands that he must show his true skills when fighting the Americans.
And now is the best time to defeat the Yankees.
If we wait a few years for the man named Lin to come to power to reintegrate the United States and establish the authority of the federal government, it will be difficult to deal with them.
In the current Civil War in Kansas, no matter whether the South or the North wins, as long as one more white person in North America dies, the Chinese will have one more space in North America in the future.
"Follow us!" Wall ordered, and he followed the attacking team.
On the Yangtze River security side, soldiers chased forward while shooting from behind.
The Union soldiers kept falling off their horses.
Thomas urged the war horse. Although General Muller seemed to think highly of him, Thomas was not prepared to die for General Muller's order.
The Kansas Pistol Regiment retreated just after the battle, which greatly exceeded Muller's expectations.
In Mueller's impression, Captain Thomas should be a leader who was not afraid of death. He dared to attack the rear of Wichita City with more than a thousand people.
Why are you so timid now just after engaging the enemy?
The key is that General Mueller has not yet been able to cure Thomas.
On the one hand, Thomas was only ordered to respond to the defeated troops on the right. Thomas had indeed responded, but basically all of them died.
On the other hand, Thomas and his men were self-contained. They were all local freedmen of Kansas. These adventurers who immigrated to the center on their own were the most disobedient to management.
The situation in the middle was originally very good for the Northern Army.
Drayton has successively transferred 3,000 troops from the center, and now the center of the Confederate army is most empty.
However, Muller also transferred 2,000 men from the center of the Northern Army.
Otherwise, the southern army's center would have been breached by Muller and his men.
"Continue the attack!" Mueller ordered.
He is now making his last attempt. Either he will succeed, or he will retreat in despair.
On the left side, although Muller sent 3,000 reinforcements, they could not stop the attack of 2,000 cavalry and 6,000 to 7,000 infantry.
Therefore, Muller will soon have a new force of seven to eight thousand people.
As long as he can hold Drayton back, and wait until the army on the left comes over, he can annihilate Drayton's main force in the center in one fell swoop.
Then he turned back and faced the Chinese mercenaries with the power of victory.
The situation here in Drayton is obviously very bad. He has already left the headquarters and rushed to the front line in the middle.
It is not difficult to block Muller's attack in the middle.
But the enemy we face on the right side is too powerful.
Those white mercenaries in the south dispersed too quickly.
As a result, there is now a huge disparity in strength between the Right Army and the Northern Army's Left Army.
"Send someone to ask Bush if his men can still fight, and let him not forget his father's illustrious military exploits back then."
Drayton didn't have any extra troops left.
Wall has sent someone over to inform them that they are rushing towards the middle road at full speed.
Now Drayton can only hope that the Chinese mercenaries on the left can arrive in the middle in time to join forces with him to attack Muller on the opposite side.
But the premise is that the reinforcements sent to the right can delay the enemy's left army for enough time.
On the southern battlefield, Bush looked at the Northern troops swarming from the south, and suddenly felt a sense of despair.
In the Texas area, he has always been the top young man.
His family owns the largest number of plantations. His father is a famous general with great military exploits.
After retiring, Bush became the governor of Texas. Bush also became an army officer.
On the one hand, asking him to bring people to fight in Kansas this time was to show Texas' support for the slave system in the South.
On the other hand, Bush Sr. also wants to let his son come out and experience it.
"Commander Bush." At this time, a messenger ran over.
The messenger conveyed General Drayton's words to Bush.
This suddenly made Bush feel ashamed.
"Texas warriors, can you still fight? When did we become so cowardly, driven around by these northern farmers, and laughed at by those yellow people? If you still have a little dignity, come with me
Let’s kill together!” Bush shouted with all his strength to the mercenaries who were sitting on the grass to rest.
He could no longer see the toughness of the Texans in these people.
After listening to Bush's words, some soldiers gradually stood up.
More and more soldiers stood up. They straightened their lopsided hats and walked towards Bush.
Some people's guns had been lost when they fled, but they also came over with a wooden stick.
"Brothers from Texas, for the sake of our dignity and glory, fight back with me."
On the southern defense line, 3,000 reinforcements sent from the center guarded the top of a slope and fired at the Northern troops that kept rushing over.
They resisted with great difficulty. The lower slopes were already piled with corpses of the Northern Army, but those people still rushed over as if they were desperate for their lives.
At the beginning, they resisted only part of the vanguard.
But later, all the enemy's troops from the left came over, and the defense line composed of 3,000 people here seemed a bit thin.
"Charge!" A Union commander held a Colt revolver in his right hand. The chanter led his infantry to attack the Confederate defense line.
There were more people coming up this time, and the Confederate defense line was too thin.
Obviously this wave could not be stopped. The infantrymen on the Confederate side had already installed bayonets on their rifles.
With a "boom", the two sides collided and stabbed each other's bodies with bayonets.
The sound of bayonets penetrating flesh reached everyone's ears, mixed with the screams of injuries.
The battlefield was covered with various sounds for a while.
"Texas warriors, charge."
Just when the reinforcements of 3,000 men were about to lose their support, suddenly a wolf-like army rushed out from behind the hillside.
This is the Texan who was fleeing in embarrassment just now after being driven away by the Union Army.
These defeated soldiers who were dejected just now suddenly changed their appearance for some reason.
Morale is a spirit, a mysterious and mysterious thing.
Sometimes an army has been fighting well, but suddenly collapses. Sometimes an army that has lost its fighting spirit suddenly becomes full of morale because of a certain person or a few words.
At this point, these Texans suddenly transformed from homeless dogs into wild beasts.
They fought in from the rear of the line and fought their way into the Union army's battle group at all costs.
They frantically attacked the Northern troops around them, without any regard for their own safety.
Bush followed suit with pistols in both hands. He fired with his pistol at the Union soldiers around him, knocking down a Union soldier with almost every shot.
Why not eat? Bush felt that he had no fear in his heart.
Ogo and his men followed Bush to help him block the Northern Army's attack.
The sudden counterattack also caused a period of chaos in the Northern Army.
Morale is something that is inherently ebbing and flowing.
Even the reinforcements originally sent from the center were mobilized by these Texans.
However, the Confederate army was ultimately outnumbered.
The enemy's cavalry came over and the balance of the war shifted towards the Northern Army.
For a while, the fighting on the right side was extremely fierce, and few Texans around Bush were still alive.
More than half of the three thousand reinforcements suffered casualties, but strangely, this army has not collapsed so far.
Wall and his men drove the Northern Army forward, and finally reached the center of the two armies, where they were fighting in a melee.
After the continuous deployment of troops, the Chinese armies of both sides no longer have much strength here.
Looking at the entire battlefield, the scale of the Chinese army's battle here is actually the smallest.
"Why did Mr. Thomas resist the enemy's left army?" Muller asked angrily.
"I'm sorry, Commander, we simply can't compete with those Chinese mercenary groups. Even if we all die in battle, we won't be able to buy much time." Thomas replied with his head lowered.
He had already expected that Mueller would question him, so he had already prepared his rhetoric.
Moreover, he told the truth and did not make excuses.
Now our left army has not come over yet, but the opponent's left army has already come.
Mueller can only accept this reality with resentment.
There is no way to continue fighting here in the middle.
Muller directed the army to fight to the south, preparing to join his left army, and then see whether to fight the opponent or retreat.
Wall finally reached the middle.
By this time, the Northern Army had already withdrawn southward.
He quickly let his soldiers take a rest while he went to meet with General Drayton.
"Your Majesty General, I'm sorry, we're late." Wall said apologetically.
"No, no, no, Commander Wall, you came in time." Drayton said with a smile.
He knew that Mueller must have been furious when he retreated just now.
If your left wing arrives first, then your side will regain the upper hand in this war.
"Commander Wall, at this time the Northern Army should go to encircle and annihilate our right flank. Commander Wall, please take the trouble to lead troops to support us on the right flank." After all, Wall led his men to kill from the left flank to the right flank and annihilate them.
Having defeated 7,000 to 8,000 enemy soldiers, the left army must have been severely exhausted at this time.
Therefore, General Drayton rarely used the method of soliciting opinions when issuing orders.
Wall understood that the situation was not easy yet, and the enemy still had more troops than his side.
If the opponent successfully eliminates its right wing, then if they attack in the opposite direction, how can Yangtze Security and the few remaining people in the center be able to stop the Northern Army?
"General, please rest assured, we will set off right now. Although the soldiers are very tired, I believe that my soldiers can hold on."
The soldiers of the Renaissance Army all come from poor backgrounds, and they are the most hard-working people.
Now in the army, these people can eat well and their endurance is stronger than before.
Drayton couldn't stay out of it now. The war was going on now and he had to go all out.
So the Central Route Army and the Chinese mercenary group fought south together.
Biting Mueller's tail.
The Confederate army around Bush now has less than a thousand men. They are now surrounded by the Northern Army. Even if they want to retreat, they cannot retreat.
Now both sides are red-blooded. Even if they want to surrender, it is estimated that the Northern Army will not accept it.
The remaining more than a thousand of them now formed a circular formation, surrounded by the Northern Army.
Another troop came from a distance, and from the flag, Bush saw that it was reinforcements from the Northern Army.
Seeing their Chinese army approaching, the Northern Army's siege became even more fierce.
Bush felt that he had to die fighting here today.
Ogo, who was covering himself at the side, had several wounds on his body. One of his legs was hit and was bleeding.
At this time, another army came from a distance, this was the flag of the Chinese Legion.
Yes, Bush saw clearly that it was the Chinese Legion that he had always looked down upon.
But now they came to save themselves.
"Shoot!" Wall ignored the surrounded Confederate army and directly ordered to shoot. The two sides were several hundred meters away.
"General Mueller, do you decide to fight decisively or retreat?" the staff officer asked.
"Line up and fight them here." Muller said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, General."
Bush saw that the Northern troops besieging him finally withdrew, but they did not withdraw. They just withdrew to a distance and reorganized.
Drayton also caught up at this time, and his men could not even catch up with the tired Chinese mercenaries.
It made him feel ashamed.
The two sides faced off head-on in formation on this grassland.
There are still about 10,000 people on the Southern Army side. The Northern Army also has only just over 10,000 people.
However, the Type 53 rifle in Wall's hand has a much faster rate of fire than the muzzle-loading rifles equipped by most people in the Northern Army.
If we shoot like this, the Confederate army will take advantage.
But the Northern Army still had nearly two thousand cavalry. This greatly interfered with the Southern Army's operations.
The battle lasted for another half day.
In the end, both sides suffered serious casualties.
They can only retreat each other.
This is a lose-lose war, but both sides claim to have won the war.
