Wild North America 1846

Day 2 at dawn

The four volunteer cavalry divisions participating in the thousand-mile raid, with a total of more than 18000 officers and soldiers (two field cavalry artillery battalions were strengthened), all got up at [-] o'clock in the morning, checked their weapons and equipment, and fed black beans and water to the horses with torches. All equipment should be strapped securely.

Each cavalry is equipped with two horses, carrying enough supplies for more than 10 days of combat life.

Busy until close to 6 o'clock, the cavalry waited on the horses quickly, and it was my turn to go to the stove to scoop up a large bowl of broth, eat it with noodles, and my whole body became hot .

In the next few days, the continuous fighting and raiding would not allow time for a bite of hot food, and everyone would have to eat dry food and drink cold water to survive.

During the spare time during the march, the cavalry had to be busy taking care of the horses and supplementing the concentrate. This is the combat partner that the cavalry regards more than their lives, and they must not be sloppy at all.

When the first rays of dawn appear on the horizon

More than 1.8 elite cavalry are ready and ready to go at any time.

"Master Wu, is there any invitation from the Commander?"

"Oh, lead the way."

Lieutenant Colonel Wu Erbao hastily explained a few words to the officers around him, then put his feet on the horse's belly, and drove the horses under his seat to follow the herald closely, followed closely by several division guard officers.

A group of dozens of horses rode to the hill outside the camp. At this time, the sky was slightly bright. Dozens of officers from the regiment headquarters were standing on the high hill, whispering to each other in groups when they heard the sound of horseshoes. looked over.

When the distance was tens of meters away, Lieutenant Colonel Wu Erbao dismounted conveniently and trotted forward with the herald, then stood at attention and saluted with a "bang" of his legs, and reported in a solemn voice; "Report to the commander, the Volunteer Cavalry No. Tenth Master Wu Erbao is reporting to you, please instruct!"

"Mr. Wu, please take a break."

"As ordered!"

"Are the troops ready to attack?"

"Report to the commander, all members of the Tenth Division are ready to attack and are on standby at any time."

"Okay... relax." Lieutenant General Lei Juekun waved his hand, made a gesture of "you come and talk", and led Lieutenant Colonel Wu Erbao to walk a dozen steps backward. The captain stood beside him.

Lieutenant General Lei Juekun bent down involuntarily, and said softly, "Your Highness the Eleventh...you still have time to change your mind. This is Master Wu of the Tenth Division who is attacking this time, and he is also a considerate and considerate person. It should be no problem to entrust your safety to him."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Wu Erbao's body suddenly trembled, his knees felt weak and he wanted to kneel down.

No matter how stupid he was, he still knew that this tall captain officer was born in the royal family and was as big as the sky.

I saw this tall captain officer looking over with clear eyes, with a little gentle smile, and said softly; "Then please trouble Mr. Wu, my identity is a little sensitive, please help me keep it secret, please don't worry." Do not interfere with critical military operations."

"It doesn't affect, it doesn't affect..." Wu Erbao replied with a dry voice, and immediately bent down to perform a knight's etiquette.

"This is His Highness Tang-Li Xin. I won't say anything extra. You can just call him Captain Li in the army, and you must not reveal your highness's identity. It is enough for you to be the only one who knows about the Tenth Division. I will The [-]th Division is at the end of the offensive, and His Royal Highness's safety is the most important thing in all actions, so remember!" Lieutenant General Lei Juekun said solemnly.

His Royal Highness Tang-Li Xin is the third son of the current empress, the third heir to the empire, and the Duke of Colorado. His status is extremely respected.

If there was a mistake, the Lei family would not be able to afford it even if they put all their money on it, Lieutenant General Lei Juekun couldn't help but be more careful, and ordered again and again.

Today's Holy Majesty is the founding emperor who is about to expand the territory. The princes have also experienced wars and military forces since childhood. Some princes traveled to European countries to broaden their horizons. Some princes honed their will and quality in the army. There is no other royal family. Delicate air.

The Eleventh Prince Tang-Li Xin was still young during the North American War, and did not catch up with that unprecedented and tragic war.

This is not... When you become an adult, you will enter the army for training, and you must personally experience the hard work of running thousands of miles and fighting.

Persuasion cannot be persuaded, this is the emperor's order.

"Mr. Wu, don't be nervous. I also have cavalry guards here. You can just follow your troops and don't need special care. In normal military operations, you can just pretend that we don't exist, and do whatever you want!" Tang Li His Highness Xin said with a gentle expression.

The princes have heard and witnessed their father treating the common people in a gentle and unassuming manner when they were young, and they have also learned how to be inseparable.

Lieutenant General Lei Juekun; "..."

Lieutenant Colonel Wu Erbao; "..."

Who can be the eleventh prince in the Tang Empire? Does His Highness not exist?
Who dares to pretend that His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince does not exist?
The name Tang-Li Xin represents the existence of the royal family, and being able to bear the noble surname "Tang" is a proper royal disciple!

At this time, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes came from the crowd, looked at the young and heroic His Royal Highness Tang-Li Xin with a complex expression, hesitated and said; Putting oneself at risk, this military operation is too..."

"Brother Aaron, stop talking. Since the day I was born in the royal family, I have shouldered the ardent hopes of countless people. The emperor taught us; we must see with our own eyes, hear with our own ears, and experience everything in the world in order not to be superficial. Superficially, don't talk too much." His Highness Tang-Li Xin looked to the far north, and there was a trace of fire in his clear eyes, and continued;

"My son is not talented, so I can't share my father's worries. But after personally experiencing this military cavalry raid, I can relive the glorious experience of my father leading tens of thousands of cavalry down the Colorado plateau across North America. It is a rare experience to sharpen your will." Opportunity.

You don't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind, order the army to go out! "

"That being the case, I would like to obey His Highness's order." Gu Yalun, the first governor of the Andes Governor's Mansion, accepted the order with a respectful expression, turned around and suddenly became imposing, and ordered to Lieutenant General Lei Juekun; "Send the order, the army will go out! "

"Follow your orders, my lord." Lieutenant General Lei Juekun bowed and cupped his fists to accept the order, and then issued an order for the army to march.

Dozens of low-pitched horns sounded, and then the sound of passionate war drums resounded throughout the world. In the morning light, heavily armed cavalry divisions lined up and embarked on the journey of a thousand-mile assault.

People are like tides, horses are like dragons, and fierce battle flags are fluttering in the wind.

With the marching sequence of the Volunteer Second Division, Eighth Division, Tenth Division, and No.19 Division, the long cavalry could not be seen at a glance, and rolled towards the east in a dark atmosphere with an infinite atmosphere of gold and iron horses. .

camp
The passionate "March of the Cavalry Regiment" has been played, and the officers and soldiers who did not participate in the operation gathered in the tents, silently watched the departure of their comrades, and sang the military song "March of the Cavalry Regiment" in unison.

The chorus of tens of thousands of people was rough and shocking. Lieutenant Colonel Wu Erbao saluted the Governor's Mansion and the Minister of the Corps with a solemn expression, and then led His Highness Tang-Li Xin and more than [-] personal guard cavalry to gallop back to the front. go in queue.

At this time, His Highness Tang-Li Xin was infected by the magnificent scene of the expedition, his young face was flushed with excitement, he tightly held the command saber inlaid with jewels on his waist, and rode closely beside Master Wu Erbao, Feel the blood boil.

"Your Highness, you should relax a bit. You will spend the next few days on horseback. Tension will make you very tired." Riding beside His Highness is Lieutenant Colonel Pan Shouguo, an aide to the royal family. The son of the Duke's Mansion, the eldest son of Admiral Pan Hengchen.

Even if Lieutenant General Lei Juekun saw Lieutenant Colonel Pan Shouguo, he still had to address him as "Your Honorable Lord", because once Marshal Pan Hengcheng passed away, Pan Shouguo would be the next Duke Protector, and his title would be even more honorable.

Below the royal family, the duke is respected.

All nobles who reach the rank of duke are the best, and this rank is also the leader of the nobles, so they must be respected.

"Hmph, where did you see that I was nervous?" His Highness Tang Li Xin had just turned 15 years old, and the young man was a little nervous.

Lieutenant Colonel Pan Shouguo smiled without saying a word. He just looked at His Highness's stiff body with his eyes, and the meaning was already very clear.

His Highness Tang-Li Xin was very uncomfortable with his gaze, so he endured it and said in a slightly relaxed way; "After all, it's the first time to go out with the army, so it's normal to be a little strange, right?"

"What Your Highness said is very true, but these few days are really going to suffer, at least the inner thighs are going to be worn out."

"Is the emperor also like this at the beginning?"

"That's natural. The Holy Majesty not only led the Great Tang Iron Cavalry across the great plains of central North America, but also took the lead and killed hundreds of enemies with his own hands. Thanks to his divine power, he was awe-inspiring. What a majestic spirit it is!"

"Brother Shouguo, just listening to your narration makes me fascinated!" Tang Li Xin is also a loyal supporter of his father, the kind of die-hard fan.

A group of people merged into the cavalry of the brigade and galloped towards the east...

With the departure of the mobile corps, after dawn, the army camp also began to become restless.

Orders from the regiment headquarters were issued one after another, and a cavalry division immediately roared out of the battalion, splitting out more than 10 routes, each with hundreds of cavalry, and began a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the small Allied cavalry in the north, thus covering the frontal battlefield.

The infantry in the battalion also began to organize their luggage, marched towards Ascension 260 kilometers away, and planned to reach the outskirts of Ascension in 50 days at a marching speed of 5 kilometers per day.

The Allied forces were not completely unprepared. The Brazilian cavalry had approached the camp for reconnaissance, and thousands of allied cavalry were scattered near the marching path.

Once the army takes action, the Allied forces of Ascension will get the news within two days at the latest, which cannot be concealed.

The purpose of the army's deployment was to confuse the public, and it was also a move to attract the Allied forces of Ascension. It depends on whether the commander of the Allied forces, Duke Marquis de Cassias, would take the bait?
Because the forward army sent by the Andean Governor's Mansion of the Tang Empire has a total of five volunteer militia divisions, with a total number of about 2. The main army is about 5.5 people one day away, and the rear guard is a day away. The Corps has about 1.8 people.

This kind of formation is clearly to lure the opponent to take the bait!
