Wild North America 1846

1858 passed quietly. It was a turbulent year with raging wars all over the world. Europe, Asia and America were not peaceful, and the law of the jungle of the jungle was fully reflected.

The Taiping Rebellion in the land of China, the Nian Army Rebellion and the second Opium War initiated by colonists such as Britain and France brought serious disasters to this ancient country, and the people were in dire straits.

The Kingdom of Datang knocked on the gate of Fusang country with strong ships and sharp guns, and forced Fusang country to sign the "Edo Treaty", which won the concession and many super-national treatment. Britain, France, Russia, the United States and other countries came in droves, demanding to enjoy the treaty. Treated the same as the Tang Kingdom, each signed a similar treaty with the Fusang Kingdom.

So far, the gate of Fusang country has been completely opened, and it has been reduced to the status of a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country.

On the other hand, in China, the Tang Kingdom was forced to sign an unequal treaty that enjoyed the same rights and interests as Western powers such as Britain and France;

in Europe

The efforts of the Kingdom of Sardinia to unify the Italian peninsula were strongly rejected by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which became an unavoidable mountain on the issue of unification of the peninsula, and the two sides inevitably came to the brink of war.

Entering 1859, the bloody American Civil War has entered its third year. Although both sides have been tortured and bruised, they still try their best to expand the scale of the civil war and want to completely knock down their opponents.

Kansas City
In the capital of the central state of the United States, all the urban buildings were destroyed by artillery fire and bullets, and there were ruins everywhere. The burnt black wood after the fire was emitting green smoke, and the debris was everywhere.

Although the Southern government claimed victory in the Kansas Civil War and occupied the state, Northern powers never retreated from Kansas' northern border and did not acknowledge this claim.

After the outbreak of the full-scale civil war between the North and the South, Kansas City became one of the focuses of the western battlefield because of its important position as a railway transportation hub.

Another focus of the western battlefield was the Northern Army's attack from Kentucky to Tennessee under the control of the Southern Army, trying to occupy this agricultural state known as the "Southern Granary".

The northern army in various uniforms has occupied most of the urban area of ​​Kansas. In the ruins of the battlefield where they advanced, corpses are strewn everywhere, and many soldiers fell on the road of attack.

The fierce battle is still going on
The southern army retreating to the train station relied on the barbed wire fence and the train carriages on the railway to fight back with fierce firepower, but the situation was precarious.

Relying on their numbers and power, the northern army launched a fierce attack regardless of the cost, and caused a lot of damage to the southern army. Although the southern army fought steadily, it was still unable to reverse the situation on the battlefield.

More than a week of hard work

The Confederate Army defending the city repelled countless attacks by the Northern Army, but the U.S. military was always able to make a comeback. The Northern Army General Sherman had 17.6 troops, almost three times that of the Southern Army.

for days
The casualties of the Northern Army have reached more than 4, but under the strict supervision of General Sherman, the tide of advancing and succeeding is still coming, almost endless.

The total strength of the southern defenders was 6.15, with more than 2.3 casualties in the battle, and they were on the verge of collapse.

In a solid building at the Kansas train station

General Daniel Harvey Hill of the Confederate Army dropped a message in his hand with a gloomy face. Robert Lee, the commander-in-chief of the Confederate Army, promised to dispatch reinforcements with all his strength, and demanded that his troops must stick to Kansas City without any loss.

But General Hill didn't want this. After fighting so hard for so long, his troops were close to running out of ammunition and food, and it took several hand-to-hand counterattacks to repel the enemy.

What's the use of reinforcing the recruits who have come up a few trains?

"Your Excellency, we may not be able to hold on for long!" Major General Simpson, who was blackened by the flames of war, walked in from the door in embarrassment, showing his white teeth when he spoke, and looked extremely depressed.

General Hill asked sullenly; "What's the situation on the front line?"

"It's terrible. The high ground on the left side of the front line is occupied by the enemy. An infantry regiment was sent to counterattack and all losses were lost. There are too many enemies. The soldiers who have run out of bullets can only use their teeth and bayonets to fight the enemy desperately. They can't last long. gone."

just got here

A burst of dense artillery explosions came from the ear, and the dust from the shock of this solid stone house fell down. The smoke and dust filled the air for a while, causing Major General Simpson to cough loudly.

In the distance, a train coming from the south made a shrill brake sound, and the locomotive billowed thick smoke into the sky, as if unfurling a bloody battle flag for the battlefield.

After a while, the train came not far away.

Before the train stopped, a large number of soldiers swarmed out, gathered amidst the sharp whistle, and quickly rushed to reinforce the precarious front.

"Maybe... there is still rescue." General Daniel Harvey Hill said quietly. This train came from the south, and it must be the reinforcements sent by General Li.

There are at least nearly 2000 soldiers stuffed in the stuffy tank carriages, which is a new force.

The problem is not that these 2000 soldiers, with such a small force, will be exhausted in one morning after being brought to the battlefield, and it may not take that long.

The point is that this train brought valuable ammunition supplies, confidence, and possibly even General Hill's coveted Storm machine gun, the deadly weapon of the Kill Group infantry attack.

The Kansas defenders originally had about 40 heavy machine guns, which were either destroyed by artillery fire, damaged and discarded, or blown up during the retreat during the days of hard fighting. Now they no longer have such an absolute weapon to suppress the infantry attack.

Sure enough, along with the reinforcements of this southern army column, there were 12 storm-type heavy machine guns and a large amount of ammunition. The army soldiers were knocked to the ground like cutting wheat, and then retreated like a tide.

"Honorable General Hill, I hope we came in time, the situation here is not looking good."

Major General Fan Pengfei gave a military salute with an elegant expression. Accompanied by several officers, he went to the temporary headquarters of the Southern Army in Kansas City, and saw General Hill with a constipated face.

General Hill looked at the other party wearing a decent general's uniform, with golden epaulets and shiny leather boots, and a Tang knife wrapped with gold thread on the waist. As uncomfortable as a fly.

"Thanks to you, we've finally repelled the damned Yankees. They're as invincible as passenger pigeons in the mountains. Apparently, my command isn't good enough to entertain a nobleman."

"Hmm, the conditions here are indeed limited. But I didn't come to attend the reception, but I brought a sincere friendship. I want to see what help I can provide?" Major General Fan Pengfei spread his hands indifferently, in a regretful tone continue to say;

"It seems that we were wrong. General Hill is obviously willing to bear the pressure of the Yankees alone, so just pretend that I have never been here. Please prepare some horses..."

Major General Fan Pengfei raised his wrist and looked at his precious watch, and said, "If we leave in half an hour, we can still catch up with the welcome reception in Manhattan at night. As far as I know, many trains to the south stop in Manhattan. It's pretty busy right now."

This Manhattan is not New York's Manhattan. There are many places in the United States with the same name, and Manhattan is one of them.

Manhattan is a transit town located more than 890 kilometers west of Kansas City. It is also one of the small towns along the [-]-kilometer railway line from Phoenix Castle to Red Rock Valley Fortress to Kansas.

Almost 2/3 of the railway line is covered with vast Gobi Desert and desert areas. Only near the east and west ends of Kansas City and Phoenix Castle, there are large areas of water and grass mountains, forming a lush green oasis.

Manhattan is located on the oasis at the east end of the railway line, only a hundred kilometers away from Kansas City, and if you continue westward, you will enter the vast Gobi Desert.

It was originally a post station, but after more than ten years, it has developed into a transit town with a population of about a thousand residents.

During the two years when the Civil War broke out, due to the importance of the railway line, the population of the town expanded rapidly, and the number more than doubled, to about three thousand or several hundred people.

After the all-out battle for Kansas City broke out, all rail traffic stopped.

This is not only the interruption of the main artery of blood transfusion to the south, but also the interruption of the way for the Tang Kingdom to make a lot of war money. No matter how you look at it, the capitalists can't be too concerned.

"Please sit down, Your Excellency General, I only have coffee here to entertain you, no milk and no sugar, this is like the difficult situation we are facing, isn't it?" General Daniel Harvey Hill smiled wryly, he really did not I like the well-dressed aristocratic general in front of me, and the southerners look like turtles against the background.

This is like a well-dressed aristocratic woman among a group of unkempt housewives, as if she is the master, how embarrassing is it?

But Hill is a general after all, a big man in the Kansas Army who is in charge of the western battlefield, not an ignorant and rude southerner who will not let his emotions control his reason.

"Let me introduce myself, Lieutenant General Hill, commander of the Confederate Kansas Army, a veteran of the Mexican War and a large cotton plantation owner."

"It's a great honor to meet you, General Hill. I am a veteran who participated in the US-Tang War, followed His Majesty in the southern expedition to Mexico and led the army to participate in the European Crimean War. I am Viscount Fan Pengfei, Chief of Military Training of the Army Staff Headquarters. "

General Hill; "..."

Major General Simpson; "..."

A group of officers from the US military headquarters; "..."

Women compete for splendor together, men drive BMW cars together, and soldiers together naturally talk about merit and glory.

Even though Major General Fan Pengfei was young, all the wars he had participated in were battles that made him famous overseas, so his qualifications were naturally strong!
Among other things, in terms of the bloody and cruel Crimean War, none of the generals on both sides of the American Civil War had the honor to participate in it, and their meritorious resumes were naturally short.

General Hill hid his embarrassing dry cough, and found a step by himself. He stretched out his hand and made what he thought was an elegant courteous gesture. He took the lead in sitting down on the dusty chair, and then asked; "May I know?" ...did you bring any help?"
