Wild North America 1846

About 5:30 in the morning

The first light of morning dawns on the Gobi Desert

At the U.S. military camp that had been harassed all night, the soldiers who got up early yawned and began to line up for a meal. Each person had a bowl of hot vegetable soup and dry biscuits, which was the soldiers' breakfast.

The drivers of the baggage carriage team have also gotten up and are busy feeding the horses and mules. These mules and horses that drag heavy-loaded carriages must be well fed and add refined food to each meal, otherwise their legs will be weak and they will not have the strength to work.

The entire US military camp had woken up when the morning light came...

"The cuirassiers will attack with me, and they will be victorious!"

"Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories."

Richard was fully armed and led a total of 320 heavy armored cavalry from the St. Francis Cuirassiers Regiment. They moved from a slow pace to a trot in a dense formation. From a distance, they could already see the huge US military camp on the Gobi Desert, about 3.5 meters away.

About kilometers.

At this moment

The ranger sentry outside the US military camp also discovered this cavalry team. Due to the dim light, they could only vaguely see the approaching cavalry group, which was similar in size to the light cavalry group harassing them at night, so they sent out the same warning sentry again.

"Shh...shh...shh, shh, shh, shh, shh."

Two long whistles followed by a series of rapid short whistles, and one could tell that it was a sneak attack by a cavalry force of more than 200 people.

The sharp whistle sounded throughout the Gobi Desert, causing the US military camp to immediately become agitated.

General Frank Gilhoury was inspecting the camp with his officers. Hearing the sound of the police whistle, he quickly walked more than a dozen steps to the outside of the circular carriage array, and poked his head to look outside.:

It's a pity that the Gobi Desert is still shrouded in darkness at this time. A ray of morning light shines in the sky, dividing the whole world into a layer of bright light on the upper layer and a gray sandwich cake on the lower layer. You can only see about 1 kilometer at the farthest point, and you can't see clearly even further away.

.

"God, these damn Easterners are doing this again. Lieutenant Colonel McCain, I hope you can lead the entire Kentucky Cavalry Regiment to attack and swat these flies to death in the Gobi Desert. I've had enough of this.

."

"As you wish, dear general, I will lead the Kentucky Cavalry to capture these little mice. It won't take long."

"Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel McCain. We'll enjoy hot coffee together when you come back."

"I am very honored, General."

The elegant Lieutenant Colonel McCain closed his legs and saluted, then quickly turned back to summon a total of more than 630 officers and soldiers of the Kentucky Cavalry Regiment, and stormed out of the U.S. military camp in a menacing manner.

This time, he made up his mind to make his enemies look good.

Because it was already getting brighter, Lieutenant Colonel McCain led an entire cavalry regiment. They had been in trouble all night yesterday, and almost none of the three US cavalry regiments had a good rest.

As soon as we returned to take a breather, the enemy came. After a while, they chased us away and disappeared without a trace. This was repeated, and it was really a mess.

All U.S. cavalrymen are holding back a bad breath in their hearts and need to vent it out, otherwise they may really get sick.

Lieutenant Colonel McCain had just led the Kentucky Cavalry a few hundred meters away from the camp. From a distance, he saw the dark cavalry of the Tang Kingdom on the Gobi Desert. They could not see clearly under the gray sky, but the overall size should be more than 200 people.

This made Lieutenant Colonel McCain feel excited and shouted loudly; "Young men of the Kentucky Cavalry Regiment, draw your sabers and follow me to chop these Orientals alive, Cavalry Regiment, move forward..."

He shouted, drew his sharp saber, and spurred the horse to run quickly, but he soon discovered that something was wrong.

The Tang Kingdom's cavalry was also accelerating, and the formation quickly expanded, almost twice as big as before, and it was as dark as a dark cloud.

This made Lieutenant Colonel McCain's heart click. The enemy was not more than 200 people, but more than 300 people. It seemed to be close to 400 people.

Thus

The original advantage of three times the number of troops with a handle in hand was quickly reduced to less than double.

However, the cavalry on both sides have accelerated their charge, the distance from 800 meters to 600 meters, and then quickly approached to within 500 meters...

Although the strength advantage was reduced, the Kentucky Cavalry Regiment had a certain advantage after all. Lieutenant Colonel McCain pointed the saber forward without hesitation.

This is a clear signal to attack

All the sabers of the US cavalry were pointed forward, like a forest of white blades. The blood was racing in the thunderous galloping of the horses, and a cry of killing resounded throughout the world;

"kill……"

The distance between the cavalry on both sides quickly shortened to about a hundred meters. At this time, a shadowy figure of a single cavalry could be seen. Lieutenant Colonel McCain felt strange that he did not see the shining saber of the Tang Kingdom cavalry.

this……

Before he could react, there was a burst of dense gunfire, like beads falling on a jade plate.

In a blink of an eye

Countless blood sprays burst out from the dark and charging cavalry formation of the US Army. Dozens of cavalrymen were beaten and fell onto their backs on the Gobi Desert, causing panic and screams from the Kentucky Cavalry Regiment.

Did the enemy use cavalry muskets to preemptively strike?

Just as this thought flashed through Lieutenant Colonel McCain's mind, rounds of gunshots like exploding beans rang out one after another, knocking the entire Kentucky Cavalry regiment off their feet.

The fierce firepower of the cavalry from the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty immediately stunned the U.S. Kentucky Cavalry Regiment, and the originally neat formation became like a dog's teeth.

The high-speed U.S. cavalry, including men and horses, rolled and fell to the ground one after another, tripping the cavalry behind them. They were killed and wounded in one encounter. This made the remaining U.S. cavalry frightened to death, and a wave of horses

The head then stabbed out diagonally.

What kind of cavalry is this?

They are simply devil cavalry coming from the darkness!

Just this one encounter

Under the heavy rain of bullets, nearly half of the Kentucky Cavalry Regiment was lost. Almost all the cavalrymen who were charging forward were knocked to the ground, and the originally dense charging formation became looser.

At this moment, great fear enveloped the Kentucky Cavalry Regiment. At this time, the two sides were close to a distance of 50 meters. The cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty inserted their revolvers into their horse bags, then pulled out their sabers and shouted:

; "Cuirassiers, ten thousand victories, kill..."

Oh sell gadi!

At this time, the unlucky officers and soldiers of the Kentucky Cavalry Regiment discovered that the oncoming Tang Kingdom Cavalry Regiment, all wearing shiny breastplates and with fluttering black feathers on their helmets, was roaring towards them unstoppably.

At this time, it was too late to escape. The remaining officers and soldiers of the Kentucky Cavalry could only shout loudly in fear and rush forward bravely.

Puff puff puff... clang clang clang clang...

A series of scalp-numbing sounds of the blade cutting into the flesh merged with the sound of the blade striking the iron plate. Screams and cries of killing were mixed together, and the victory or defeat was decided at the touch of a finger.

The Kentucky Cavalry Regiment originally had about half of its cavalry left after suffering a heavy rain of bullets.

In this round of frontal defense between heavy cavalry and light cavalry, after the two sides passed each other, the remaining US cavalry was reduced by more than half again. Many US cavalry were stained red with blood, and they had obviously suffered heavy losses.

"Oh, God……"

Lieutenant Colonel McCain was also one of the survivors. He hurriedly turned around and saw that there were only about 1,670 cavalrymen left, and 1/3 of the cavalrymen were injured.

The battle crippled the always defiant Kentucky Cavalry Regiment.

But his troubles were not over yet, because a dense cavalry formation appeared in front of him. At first glance, it looked like there were no less than four or five hundred people, and they were rapidly rushing towards the US cavalry.

The war horses galloped and beat on the Gobi Desert, making a "rumbling" sound like rolling thunder. The ground trembled under the trampling of the iron cavalry, conveying the killing smell of the iron horses.

now

The defeated remnants of the U.S. Kentucky Cavalry Regiment were only six to seven hundred meters away from the oncoming cavalry. At this time, it was too late to hide.

And behind them were the terrifying cuirassiers. If Lieutenant Colonel McCain was given a choice, he would rather face the more numerous light cavalry than the heavy cavalry covered with iron shells.

"Soldiers of the Kentucky Cavalry, fight to have a chance to survive. Give me..."

Lieutenant Colonel McCain once again pointed the sharp saber forward in his hand, leaned close to the horses and galloped at high speed, leading the remaining cavalry in a desperate charge.

When the distance between the two sides approached more than 130 meters, Lieutenant Colonel McCain could vaguely see the general appearance of the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom. There were no bright breastplates that made him tremble, nor were they wielding bright sabers. This made him feel lucky.

psychology……

Uh...wait a minute, why didn't these Tang Kingdom cavalry draw their sabers?

This question flashed through Lieutenant Colonel McCain's mind. He was suddenly horrified to find that all the Tang Kingdom cavalry had raised their revolvers, and then, there was a burst of gunfire like exploding beans...

Puff puff

Lieutenant Colonel McCain could feel the three hot bullets penetrating his body, making him unable to sit still on the high-speed horse. Salty blood rushed to his mouth and nose. His eyes were black and his whole body was weak.

He fell from his horse.

The sharp saber in his hand drew an arc and was inserted into the Gobi Desert with a "squeak" sound, swinging from side to side without exhaustion.

The galloping war horses passed by the saber like wind, and then a crowd of people fell on their backs, and screams could not be heard.

The second wave of killings came from three dissatisfied light cavalry brigades of the San Francisco Cavalry Regiment, with a total of about 500 people. Calculated based on one Colt 1846 cavalry revolver per man, they were killed almost in just one minute.

, all 500 cavalrymen emptied their guns and poured out more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition.

Evenly distributed to each Kentucky cavalryman, more than 20 rounds of ammunition are required.

This caused the remaining 1,670 Kentucky cavalrymen to be once again shrouded in a dense rain of bullets. Those who were beaten were thrown off their horses and fell to the ground, and more than half of them were killed or injured.

The remaining seventy or eighty cavalrymen withstood the hail of bullets and were quickly overwhelmed by the roaring cavalrymen of the Tang Kingdom...

The entire Kentucky Cavalry regiment was wiped out. They died unwillingly, aggrieved, tragic and helpless.

However, this is a bloody war, there is no if...
