Chapter 201 Pit, giant pit!
Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...
A bunch of gunshots were like fried beans.
"Hahaha!"
"Call these idiots to death!"
"These idiots! Hahaha..."
The southern soldiers were very excited at this time. They shot and cursed swearing to comfort themselves who had just been scared.
The gunshots all came from the muzzles of the Southern Army, and they were all shot from top to bottom!
The Northern Army had no idea who was commanding it before, but they rushed into the big pit they created. Although the big pit was just born, it was really big.
It is 50 meters long, more than 20 meters wide, and more than 4 meters deep. It is just such a big pit. Almost all the Yankees' troops rushed in, and then they rushed in and became stupid because they found that they could not get out at all!
This is an army of nearly 20,000 people. The other side of the pit is very high, because although it destroyed the Southern Army's position, the destruction was not accurate enough, that is, before the explosion point, and although the position was also damaged, you should know that the position built by the Southern Army was built higher, the higher the better.
And it was blown out all the groundwater, which was very slippery and was full of mud. How to get it up?
Those 20,000 people, can you return it?
There are crowds of people, people are crowded with people!
It was just like this state, when the southerner saw it, oh-u-k!
Fight! Shoot!
At this moment, you don’t have to aim, just shoot into this pit and hit 100%!
The revolver vented his firepower frantically. To be honest, if there was a Gatlin at this time, it would be a massacre!
Although there is no machine gun, the weapons in the hands of the southerners have been upgraded in this situation. The result of this battle is really... Soon, the big pit was covered with blood. The place that was made of groundwater like a mud pool is now a blood-red mud pool!
"We surrender!"
"Surrender!"
"Don't fight again!"
The Yankees couldn't stand it anymore because it was really a piece of death. And they didn't have any ability to resist at all, it was too chaotic. To be honest, they didn't know who the hell was in command of this!
Of course, if you surrender, you should be surrendered. Sometimes the relationship between the Southern and the Yankees is pretty good, and you can get some warmth or something if you have nothing to do. For example, the hostile guys on both sides sometimes exchange some food, tobacco, coffee or something.
But. Yankees can't get out now!
The Southerners can't get them out, so what should I do now?
"Run!"
"Brothers, hurry up!"
I don’t know who shouted like this. Anyway, I can’t accept these prisoners now. The Yankees have surrendered. Why don’t we pursue them by taking advantage of the victory?
The southern positions are now in chaos. They were originally attacked and many officers were fainted by bombing, so no one cares about them at all.
But although no one cares about it, there are not many idiots. Everyone saw the tragic situation of the Yankees, so they naturally would not jump into this pit. So they jumped out of their high positions and killed them like tigers in the mountains!
"Ahhh! Lost!"
"Escape!"
"God, please save me!"
When the Yankees saw this situation, the ones who had not jumped into the big pit ran away quickly. Who was still rushing forward at this time?
This gun doesn't matter, but who knows who is the general who commands this siege?
Burnside!
Only this one has never won a battle yet. The troops siege ahead fled. When the people behind saw that they had lost the battle again, they found that the general was defeated again this time. Everyone is familiar with this routine. So what else can they have?
Follow and run!
When the two armies faced each other, they were afraid of collapse. Once they started running away and there was no organization, it would be a great defeat. Anyway, they were all chaotic soldiers all over the mountains and the pursuit...
Chase!
Kill!
"We actually won!" Eleanor looked at the scene like this, and she couldn't believe her eyes, it was too unbelievable!
"Hahaha...Believe me, Aly, God bless you to become a royal concubine!" Mary was very happy at this time, and she immediately thought of what the two of them had talked about before.
"ah?"
To be honest, Eleanor doesn't really care much about becoming a princess or something, but now, don't say it, it's really like God's blessing, so say, you are really destined to be with someone?
"Don't think of that bastard!" Eleanor shook his head. She forced herself to dispel the shadow of that guy Li Mengyang, but now.
The latest episode of "Women's Power" has the headlines, which is the "Petersburg Victory"!
This is really a great victory!
The Southern Army in Petersburg directly killed the troops, which made Burnside's troops collapsed, and the troops of the others were greatly affected. The Northern Army invested almost 90,000 troops here. Before, Grant's western army had come to reinforce, but now they are all dispersed!
Moreover, this was not only a great victory. After learning that Petersburg had hit the Northern Army hard, it was written by his own daughter. General Robert Li was very happy. Now, as the supreme commander of the Southern Army, he had wanted to extend his hand to another battlefield.
That battlefield is in the west, of course, not the west in the American sense, it is about Atlanta, Georgia.
Here, Grant mobilized an army of 100,000 to siege Atlanta, and the general in the south was Johnston. This guy may have a good reputation in the army, but he was too cowardly and slowly retreated and did not take the initiative.
So, before, Robert Lee wanted to replace Johnston, and he wanted to replace John Bell Hood, who was a tiger general!
Yes, the tiger is on the corn field in Sharpsburg before, this guy is enough for tigers.
But now, it seems that Johnston can be given some more time, because after the siege of Petersburg is untied, the southern capital will be less dangerous for the time being.
Moreover, the use of new weapons has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the troops. Not to mention, the Southern Army fired a lot more bullets than before, at least six times more, so this is the chance of hitting six times more.
The Petersburg victory is inseparable from the new weapons. Robert Lee is very clear about this. So since that is the case, the Southern Army can try to fight forward. That is, they can take the initiative again!
Don’t underestimate this change, it will have an extremely far-reaching impact on the entire civil war situation.
But why are Yankees so stupid? How could they blow up a big hole and jump into it themselves?
There are actually many reasons for this. General Burnside later explained to Lincoln.
"Mr. Lincoln, first of all, tunnel warfare is the first in the world, and we don't know how powerful it is..."
Yes, it was the job of buying explosives, which was done by a group of miners, that is, the Irish people who used to mine. These people saw that Petersburg's defense was too strong, and the current artillery of the Northern Army had not been bombarded indiscriminately, but it was useless. It would be better to develop underground.
So, they actually spent nearly a month digging a long tunnel. They thought they had dug up the city of Petersburg, but in fact they were still a little short of that. The Irish people, their lives were relatively rough.
Then there was too much gunpowder buried, and 8 tons were made, just like this gunpowder was worthless!
Anyway, it was the first time. No one had done this before, so they had no experience and forgot to bring a ladder. It was normal for some problems, but some of them were not good at it.
It was an old guy from Burnside, a guy named James Ridley. He was originally the battlefield commander, but before the charge, he drank too much and didn't know where he slept. He was later captured by the Southern Army...
Burnside, even if he had a thousand mouths this time, he could not clear away his reputation as a defeated general.
Petersburg lost, and Atlanta couldn't take it down for a while. Although Johnston was huddled, it meant that you didn't agree to kill him. It's relatively easier to defend this year, so the American civil war is now in a dilemma.
However, some Americans completely ignore these things. This person is nothing but Thomas Edison!
"Are you from the New Tang Empire in the United States?"
"Who are you?"
Outside the town of Youma, the guards of the Empire saw a guy with an extremely strange appearance appearing in front of them. He saw this man in a ragged suit. The key was that there were mostly burnt marks on it. The man's hair was messy, and the chicken coop was no, it was definitely the eagle's nest!
As for the other side, what is more interesting is that one of the guy's arms is hanging, and it seems that he has been seriously injured. This person... should be said, what's wrong with Edison?
"I am the one who came to win the bounty!" Edison said he didn't care about all this in himself, but just cared about the bounty.
"Borrow? What bounty?" The guard was a little confused.
When Edison heard this, he felt that the problem was a bit big.
"Hasn't your emperor issued a notice before? Can anyone say that if they can solve that problem, they can get 100,000 American dollars?"
"Oh~" At this time, the guards understood that the guy in front of him could solve that problem and get 100,000 yuan?
"Hahahaha..." I have to say that this cannot be blamed on the guards, because anyone who sees such an image will laugh if he says he can solve problems and get a bounty.
You know, no one can solve that problem until now!
"I can really crack it!" Edison suffered this time, but everything he has done now is for that bounty!
In other words, this guy really created 'smokeless gunpowder'?
"What are you laughing at?" At this time, Yang Willie, the highest commander of Yuma Town, came to hear the sound... (To be continued...)
