The whole of the United States is changing and moving, and a large number of troops have begun to gather, those who get on board the ship, those who get on board the train.

And the initiator of all this is Li Mengyang, the emperor of the New Tang Empire in the United States. What is he doing?

"Your Majesty, your courage makes me extremely respectful! But I have to say, is it a bit dangerous?"

A small hill in Vicksburg, where a cat's ear pierced was dug, which was very deep, but the decorations were still good, including maps, stools, and beds. Okathi, the commander of the Eastern Route Army of the Empire, was talking to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Hahaha!" Speaking of this dangerous problem, Li Mengyang laughed, "Okashi, you don't know that there is a saying among Chinese people that you can get a tiger's baby if you don't enter the tiger's den. This... Okay, let me explain to you that if you don't enter the tiger's hole, you can't have tiger cubs."

This explanation is naturally in English, but the expression in this English...

Okashi blushed. He didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor said such words. Yes, if you don't enter the tiger's hole, how could there be a little tiger? Tigers are also mammals, and they also have to mate. What a simple truth.

Remind the previous sentence... Spring is here, and it is the season for mating again on the grassland...

What do you say about an emperor saying these things are for?

Well, Li Mengyang had no idea of ​​his old subordinate's true mental state at this time. He saw that he blushed, but what Li Mengyang thought was that maybe Okashi hadn't figured out the true meaning of the common saying again.

Forget it. Ocassi thinks that these details should be ignored.

"Your Majesty. Let's not discuss the issue of tiger fertility. I am really worried about your safety. The most important thing is, how can you do this? It is obviously very dangerous here, why do you still spread that kind of news?"

What news is Ocassi saying?

Simply put, it is the news that Li Mengyang, the emperor of the American Empire, was deliberately released by him!

Yes, he did this. As for whether it was Nancy's woman, Li Mengyang could not control this, but he, the emperor, had a precise attitude of "I'm in Vicksburg" to give to the American people who helped the imperial army transport things.

Then, is this guy Li Mengyang crazy? Why did he do this? At this time, it was a war. Vicksburg was full of broken walls and ruins. Such a place itself was very dangerous, but he still had to release such news. Could it be that he was disgusted with his life?

Of course not!

"Hahaha..." Li Mengyang laughed again. "Okashi, didn't you tell you about the tiger just now? This is doing it, just practicing the tiger's thing."

To be honest, Li Mengyang didn't know why Ocassi said "fertility issues" and didn't care about these details anymore.

"..." Ocassi was speechless. He had no idea why His Majesty the Emperor kept talking about the tiger?

Especially, fucking tigers!

Is this completely unreasonable?

Could it be... By the way, does His Majesty the Emperor say that he can kill the tiger in order to inspire my struggle?

all-hail-lee! This is simply incredible!

At this time, the situation is completely different. Generally speaking, such things are rare, but it is still like this today.

But, however, it doesn’t matter whether Okashi understands it or not, because the most important thing is that Li Mengyang, the imperial emperor, is in Vicksburg, which is enough and enough!

He, Li Mengyang, wanted to make such a gesture and release the most accurate news. He wanted everyone in the world to know that he was in Vicksburg, and then...

Come all of you!

Yes, this is Li Mengyang’s purpose. He wants to put himself in this dangerous place, and then, it is better to attract all the US troops, that’s what it will be!

So what are the benefits of doing this?

The advantage is actually obvious, that is, the Imperial Eastern Army has 80,000 people, and there are only 5,000 people in Vicksburg!

In other words, the key lies in other troops...

OK, Li Mengyang's tactic is to attract firepower. This move is understandable, but is he safe?

In fact, Li Mengyang's consideration, he had such a determination in the morning. He wanted to come to Vicksburg, so he naturally considered it. In terms of fortifications, the current trenches and he dug a cat's ear pierced for himself. As for the current weapons of the United States, it should be difficult for them to break through the fortifications. Of course, if their luck is extremely bad, a shell flew into the cat's ear pierced, and then...

Is this a very low probability?

Another point is the material situation. To be honest, Li Mengyang didn't expect at first that the Pioneer and Sherman's troops were Vicksburg, and this situation almost made his plan fail.

That is, people arrived in Vicksburg, but what should I do if the supplies were provided?

As a result, it was interesting that Sherman didn't care about these merchant ships at all, which gave Li Mengyang enough time to transport the supplies.

You know, the previous battle of Vicksburg was defeated in the southern world because there was no food. The Southerners captured Vicksburg rats completely.

As for the reason, Li Mengyang didn't want to know, and there was no need for this, and this gave him the conditions.

In addition, after fighting the first day of offensive and defensive battle, Li Mengyang became more confident.

In the Imperial Army, there was no casualty!

Such outstanding results are all attributed to the newly equipped bolt-action rifle, because the shooting distance and shooting accuracy of this gun are far better than the rear-loading guns currently used by the Northern Army. Therefore, after the first day of shooting, the Northern Army was futile.

Maybe some people in the United States fired, but the bullet was not accurate at all, and it could not reach the Imperial Army. There were also trenches and helmets. The Northern Army's rear-loaded guns, such as the Henry Rifle and the Burnside Rifle, although the bullets were loaded in the rear-loaded, were very small.

Therefore, Li Mengyang's confidence is stronger!

Of course, this zero casualties will not last for too long because the opponent has a cannon.

But, however, it can be seen from here that in terms of weapons, the Imperial Army has enough capital to fight this defensive battle, and Li Mengyang should be safe!

Of course, all this should be theoretical, but what will happen after the fight begins? I don’t know yet, but the United States is really an elite!

In about ten days, the Topomak Legion led by General Mead came. Their speed can be said to be vigorous and decisive.

There is no way, the Northern Army can take the train with a swagger. 5,000 Northern Sergeants were loaded and transported outside Vicksburg...

"General Sherman! General Dalgren led his fleet to block the lower reaches of the Mississippi River. Their ships on the river can give us great support. This time I lead the troops to fully cooperate with you. You say that we will attack whenever we attack."

General Mead saluted Sherman and brought good news.

"General Mead is polite." Sherman actually has some respect for Mead, because after all, the veteran general fought a crucial battle, but now, Sherman is the supreme commander of the Western Army, so he must listen to him now. "General, there is a bad news. The yellow-skinned monkey is very smart. He has prepared enough food for himself. According to the most accurate information, I know that there are 5,000 enemy troops in Vicksburg, and they should be elite. We need enough firepower now, that is, cannons, mortars. How many have you brought?"

Hearing Sherman say this, to be honest, General Mead feels a little contradictory. Even if he is an elite of 5,000, he is trapped in a small place like Vicksburg, what can they do? Why do you need such strong firepower?

"General Sherman, we don't have many mortars, but I think that with the existing firepower, we can annihilate the enemy!"

Vicksburg is now a United States Army with nearly 70,000 against the 5,000 American Imperial Army. If it is counted as the Shanghai Army, then this number is even more exaggerated. So Mead doesn't understand at all, why don't we attack directly?

"General Mead, please believe me, we need enough mortars." But Sherman was still insisting.

"Hey~" Mead smiled, "General Sherman, why not do this? Let me take some brothers up there and see, how?"

Obviously, Mead didn't believe in this evil, he wanted to meet the enemy.

In response, Sherman spread his hands and he did not stop him, "General Mead, I will give you a last piece of advice, don't be too close to those trenches."

After saying that, the conversation between the two generals ended.

Mead really led his troops up, but the current situation is that there are cannons in the United States, and although they are not mortars, there are many.

Boom! Boom!

The artillery of the United States was roaring, and dozens of cannons lined up for two miles, spraying white smoke at the Vicksburg position ahead, and then the shells hit Vicksburg position almost instantly.

Well, these shells didn't play much role, they just brought up some soil or hit the hillside.

"..." Mead, who was holding a telescope and looking at his opponent's position, was puzzled, because he seemed to have not seen anyone, forget it, don't worry. "Sergeants! Go!"

The soldiers of the Topomak Legion, who had just formed the formation, began to trot forward. The charge is at least much stronger than before. Everyone knows that the sprint of gongs and gongs is basically a gift for people.

But, however, not long...

Biku! Biku...

Twist...

Ahhhhh!…

Mead looked at his subordinates in surprise, because they were beaten back by their opponents without firing the shot, and many corpses were left on the ground!

This... our gun obviously has insufficient range!

Mead was not stupid, so he naturally understood what was going on.

"We need a mortar!" Mead didn't talk much nonsense now, please tell me.

But, is the mortar useful?

But no matter what, it seems that the real Vicksburg offensive and defensive battle has begun! (To be continued...)
