Wild North America 1846

Chapter 350
What is it like to walk in the dark wilderness late at night?
Without daring to light torches, the American soldiers who broke out followed the vague figures with one foot high and one foot low, and it was really difficult to walk.

People fell from time to time that night, either stepping on hard rocks, stepping on slope potholes, or tripping over bushes.

at 6 o'clock in the morning
The dark and cold winter night revealed the first white belly, and the American soldiers who stumbled and walked in the wilderness in the middle of the night were less than 10 kilometers away from the place where they broke through.

In the dim light, two American soldiers with their heads tucked in their sleeves numbly followed the flow of people. They were cold, tired, hungry and sleepy, and extremely lacking in spirit.

Some people fell straight like a wooden stake while walking, and they didn't know if they were dead or not.

Among the U.S. troops in the brigade, there were groups of soldiers of the Tang Kingdom wearing gray-blue military uniforms. They were different from U.S. soldiers who did not realize the danger at all. The rays of light converged consciously.

Lieutenant General Samuel Brown, whose military uniform was in a mess, was so tired that he could barely lift his legs. He stood on the side of the road, panting heavily with his hands pinched around his waist.

Although his body is very strong, he is over 50 years old after all, and he fell more than a dozen times during the march in the dark that night. Now every bone in his body hurts, and his teeth have not been stained for more than [-] hours.

His energy was extremely exhausted, even his head was numb, only an unyielding spirit supported him to persevere.

Mr. General Samuel Brown looked left and right, and every face he passed in front of him was unfamiliar. The officers and guards of his regiment headquarters didn't know where they went, and they didn't see any of them.

This night, he fled in the dark with his head sullen, and he didn't know where he went?

Lieutenant General Samuel Brown cheered up with a strong sense of responsibility. He squeezed the space between his brows and began to yell loudly;
"Hey... guys, do you see any officers?"

"I'm Lieutenant General Samuel Brown. Now I need you to find the officer. I need a damn map to drink water. I need to know where I am now. I need to command you to escape. Who can tell me who the officer is now?" ?”

Many U.S. soldiers passed by with blank expressions, and a few soldiers who heard Lieutenant General Samuel Brown yelled stood down, looked at each other hesitantly, and then replied with a finger; "I'm sorry, General Your Excellency, we don't know where all the officers have gone, but I saw an officer over there collecting his subordinates."

After finishing speaking, he continued to move forward with the flow of people with a blank expression.

Lieutenant General Samuel Brown; "..."

no way

He can't be entangled with a soldier, the most urgent thing now is to find the officer, find a damn map and find out where it is?Then gather the army to break out in the right direction.

After dawn, it means that danger is coming, and the action must be accelerated.

The Tang Kingdom army has a Chang'an regiment of more than 6 people, all of whom are cavalry. In this unobstructed wilderness, it doesn't take long for the cavalry to catch up.

The senior officer's sense of responsibility drove Lieutenant General Samuel Brown to drag his tired body and look for the past in the direction pointed by the soldiers.

not for a while
Sure enough, he saw an officer gathering a large number of soldiers, so he stepped forward angrily and scolded; "God, I can finally find a damn officer, listen... I am the commander-in-chief of Detroit, Samuel Brown. Lieutenant General, do you have coffee or water, and find me a damn map. God, I've had enough!"

"Welcome Lieutenant General Samuel Brown. Please allow me to introduce myself. Colonel Fan Pengju, commander of the 502nd Division, is happy to serve you." The officer walked forward with a command knife in his hand, and looked at the astonished Seth with a smile on his face. Lieutenant General Muir-Brown added another word of embellishment; "On behalf of General Chen Chuan of the Northern Corps of the Tang Kingdom, I would like to welcome you. I hope you can surrender to me with dignity."

"Oh, selling cakes..." Lieutenant General Samuel Brown came back to his senses and noticed that the military uniform on the officer with an oriental face in front of him was different. He looked around again and saw a circle of people with malicious intentions They are all soldiers of the Tang Kingdom.

He immediately sat down on the ground with weak legs, and the confidence in supporting Lieutenant General Samuel Brown to persevere to the end collapsed...

At this time, it was around 6:30 in the morning, and the sky was brighter again.

Colonel Fan Pengju did not hesitate to pick up the gun in his hand and fired two shots at the sky, shouting loudly: "We are the army of the Tang Dynasty, everyone put down their guns, surrender and do not kill, resist and shoot to death immediately!" !"

The clear gunshots spread far and wide in the wilderness, and the gunshots were the signal. The soldiers of the Tang Kingdom mixed in the crowd raised their guns one after another, pointed at the bewildered American soldiers, and shouted "Surrender!" If you don’t kill me, if you resist, I will kill you!”

This sudden reversal made many numb US troops hesitate for a while, and then dropped the guns in their hands. They were extremely exhausted and had no confidence to resist.

There were many gunshots sporadically in the wilderness, but generally large swaths of American soldiers raised their hands and surrendered, and only a few resisted.

Colonel Fan Pengfei immediately arranged for the soldiers to collect the prisoners, and gathered his subordinates to prepare for the pursuit, in order to wipe out the enemy army.

the sky is getting brighter
From a distance, some American soldiers could be seen staggering and fleeing in the wilderness. They were the first American soldiers to break out of the siege, and they walked the farthest. They were not captured by the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom for the time being.

Escape... Where can I escape to?
After daybreak, this wilderness was dominated by the Chang'an Cavalry Corps. Instead of fleeing in vain, it would be wiser to sit quietly and wait for the captives to come.

Any act of refusal to surrender and resist is a dead end.

"Hey man, I hear you with a Georgian accent, and I do, for God's sake, please let me go?"

"Shut up idiot, just stay there quietly."

"God...why are you doing this?"

Faintly hearing the begging voices of the American prisoners not far away, Colonel Fan Pengju turned his head and took a look, only to see the white soldier of the 502nd Division raised his gun butt and smashed it down fiercely. fell to the ground.

The white soldier spat hard at the American captive and said cursingly, "What kind of shit Georgians, I'm a soldier of the Tang Kingdom, you dirty and lowly pigs, don't make me angry, or I'll shoot you!" Blow your heads off, put your hands on your head and squat down."

Colonel Fan Pengju smiled and shook his head indifferently, and walked towards the direction where the soldiers were concentrated, quickly forgetting about these trivial matters.

As long as the white soldiers of the 502nd Division are not stupid enough, no one will do such a stupid thing of privately holding captives.

To be able to enter the 502nd Division and become a white soldier, everyone here has experienced countless bloody battles. It can be said that the lucky ones who crawled out of the dead can be rewarded for their meritorious service and enjoy the same treatment as Chinese soldiers.

Once betrayed, wouldn't it all be ruined?

Moreover, it is a serious violation of military law to privately manipulate a prisoner. Even if he is released, where can he go?
10 minutes later
The earth trembled in the wilderness, and a large group of cavalry came speeding up from a distance. The "rumbling" sound of thousands of galloping horses was like thunder, and the momentum was truly astonishing.

Looking at the flags fluttering in the wind, it turned out that a unit of the Omaha Cavalry Division had arrived. After briefly asking about the situation on the battlefield, these cavalry immediately galloped in the direction where the US troops were fleeing...

look up

A few bald eagles soaring high in the sky hovered over the battlefield, and from time to time they made a shrill eagle howl, echoing in the clear winter sky...

Romulus County

This is a small city 33 kilometers southwest of Detroit. It is the starting position of the cavalry-based Chang'an Corps. His Majesty's king is also stationed here, and it is closer to the Detroit battlefield.

Huge bald eagles flew back one after another. After feeding the fresh meat strips with a leisurely expression, Li Cha washed his hands with flowers and warm water, and turned back to the Gothic manor temporarily stationed in Hua.

Although he didn't go to the front line in person, his every move on the front line was like a palm print, which couldn't escape Richard's superhuman perception.

Today's army generals are thriving, and there is no need for the king to come to the front line to command. Although there are still some flaws and shortcomings in the command of the large corps, their performance is remarkable.

Naturally, Li Cha would not be picky and demand that the generals make no mistakes at all. In such a super-large battle, it is normal to pay thousands of extra casualties, and it is impossible to be perfect.

To be able to do this is already excellent.

As a high-ranking king, it is impossible for Li Cha to scout out the enemy's situation for his generals. Even if he loses a battle and loses tens of thousands of people, it is just the tuition fees he should pay and the painful price of growing up.

Fortunately, this situation did not happen. Li Cha was very satisfied with the performance of these senior generals of the Tang Kingdom, especially the bold commander of the 502nd Division, who even ordered the entire division to follow the US army for most of the night, creating a beautiful chaos In the battle, tens of thousands of American soldiers were captured.

Lieutenant General Samuel Brown led 2.7 American soldiers to break through, losing thousands of them on the way.

When breaking through, the remnants of nearly 4000 U.S. troops led by Major General McDevin attracted firepower, which meant that they were all buried.

About 7000 people were able to break out of the siege. In the second half of the night, another 3000 or 502 people were lost. The rest were captured by the [-] Division. Captured or killed, there are very few who can escape.

This battle was won completely and heartily, which greatly reduced the difficulty of attacking Detroit. No wonder Richard was in a good mood.

The Tang Kingdom rose in North America in the 19s. It was also the era when Chinese heroes and heroes came out in large numbers. The lieutenant generals of the Kingdom's army were brilliant and talented people came out in large numbers. Just like the Chinese commander of the 60nd Division, he performed very well.

Decisive and resolute, calm in times of crisis, and daring to put all his eggs in one basket, he is really a good general!
