Wild North America 1846

A wave of cavalry charges defeated the U.S. Kentucky Cavalry Regiment. Richard raised the 2.8-meter-long sharp machete in his hand and stabbed it into the sky. Unable to suppress the surging blood in his heart, Richard shouted: "Victory!"

"Wonderful victory, ten thousand victory, ten thousand victory!"

"kill……"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The cuirassiers shouted in unison with excitement, waved their sabers to vent their joyful passion, and spurred their mounts to slow down.

The commander holds the weapon high in the air like a fire burning into the sky, which represents an order for all cavalry to slow down.

After killing through the lineup of the U.S. Kentucky Cavalry Regiment, the U.S. military camp was clearly visible in front of them. The distance was no more than 1 kilometer, and it stretched several kilometers across the Gobi Desert, as if it was an entrenched prehistoric beast.

"All soldiers are loaded and ready to fight."

After the order is issued

All the cuirassiers immediately sheathed their swords, pulled out the Colt 1846 heavy cavalry special revolver from the saddle bag on the right front side of the saddle, opened the rotating shaft, and loaded the fixed bullets one after another...

Richard was riding at the front of the queue. He was wearing a breastplate that was different from ordinary cavalry. It was a system-customized lengthened and thickened golden breastplate that could well cover the neck and upper body. There were gilded mythical beast swallowing mouths on both shoulders.

, there are white flying feathers on the helmet, holding a 2.8-meter-long sharp sword upside down with one hand, a pair of sharp eyes staring ahead, and a murderous intent on his face.

His eyes penetrated the darkness before dawn, and he keenly saw several huge gaps in the circular array formed by the carriages in the dotted stove fires in the US military camp.

A dangerous smile appeared on Richard's face...

Due to these deficiencies in the defense, the drivers of the baggage carriage team who got up early had fed their mules, then hitched up the four-wheeled carriages and led them away, each returning to their own team, resulting in several large gaps in the circular array.

At this time, the U.S. infantrymen were eating with their guns on their backs. After eating, they would move out as a whole group. They were in a period of excessive chaos.

There were four or five cavalry raids that night, with heavy thunder and light rain, and there were no other losses except a few empty shots.

This made everyone in the US military, from generals to soldiers, slack off and subconsciously believed;

This is just another innocuous intrusion.

In addition, it was getting daylight, all the soldiers were ready to go, and the strong Kentucky Cavalry Regiment had already attacked, what could happen?

In the U.S. military camp, people were eating when they needed to eat, driving when needed, organizing equipment when necessary, and patrolling when necessary. No one was alert to the cuirassiers of the Tang Dynasty approaching the camp.

Thanks to the gray sky, the US military camp could see the approaching cavalry, but they could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. They thought it was the Kentucky Cavalry that had driven away the enemy and returned.

"Hey, man, do you think our Kentucky Cavalry can catch those little mice?"

"I don't care about this. What I care about is when I can stop drinking these damn vegetable soups. I really miss the cream of mushroom corn soup made by my mother at home. It is so delicious."

"Come on, don't be weak like a bitch. You are going to conquer those Indian soldiers. Oh, by the way, can you get 10 dollars by cutting off their scalps?"

"Raul, you have to ask the commander about this. Don't you think it's strange? Why were there so many gunshots just now?"

"What's strange about this? The cavalry regiment is also equipped with muskets, but many cavalrymen feel that those things are difficult to use. They prefer to use sabers to solve problems."

"Then these gunshots..."

"Don't ask me Raul, oh God, is that our cavalry?"

The soldiers on the periphery of the U.S. Army's horse-drawn carriage formation looked puzzledly, and saw a group of cavalry getting closer and closer in the hazy early morning night, and gradually accelerating. The sound of galloping horse hooves gathered into a vast thunder-like momentum, and the distance got closer and closer.

Even a fool knows that these cavalrymen have evil intentions.

However, the American soldiers neither saw the shining sabers nor could they clearly see the attire of the cavalry rushing all the way. The dark sky greatly affected their vision, making the judgment of these American soldiers somewhat slow.

It wasn't until the charging cuirassiers of the Tang Dynasty approached within a range of more than 100 meters that they could clearly see the difference in the clothing of the cavalry.

After a brief moment of panic, the soldiers on the outskirts shouted at the top of their lungs; "Oh, God, it's the enemy cavalry, those Easterners are coming..."

Then these American soldiers fled in all directions as if their nest had been blown up. Along with the sound of gunshots like a shower, countless blood sprays exploded on the bodies of these American soldiers in the camp, and they were knocked to the ground screaming.

.

Richard led the heavy cuirass cavalry and rushed into the gap in the circular formation. He swung the shining long knife in his hand, and a bloody alley flowed out like chopping melons and vegetables. The heavy cavalry behind him rushed in and went crazy in the US military camp.

Stomp and chop.

For a time, everything turned into a mess.

The heavy cuirassiers of the Tang Dynasty came so fast, so fiercely, so unprepared, like an elephant breaking into a porcelain shop, trampling them savagely.

This group of people belonged to the U.S. infantry camp. They were suddenly attacked. The heavy cuirassiers who rushed into the camp were immediately split into two, roaring and knocking down the U.S. soldiers. The entire camp was torn into pieces. The U.S. soldiers shouted loudly.

The rat scurried away with its head in its arms.

During this period, sporadic gunshots were also heard. A few infantry commanders tried to gather soldiers to resist, but were quickly dispersed by the heavy cavalry that came up fiercely.

These cavalrymen not only slashed and killed fiercely along the way, but also set fires everywhere. Many American soldiers were forced to flee outside the circle, and there was chaos everywhere.

This is not over yet

Just five or six minutes later, a larger group of light cavalry broke into the US military camp, started burning and killing, and fired a stream of rockets, setting fire to more logistics carriages.

After being frightened, many mules and horses dragged the carriage and ran wildly, which further aggravated the chaos.

The chaos was contained after more than 10 minutes. General Frank Gilhoury led the remaining two cavalry regiments to come to the rescue, and gathered the escaping infantry to form an array, and managed to fire a few rounds of volleys, which was enough to stabilize the morale of the army.

Unexpectedly, these Tang Kingdom cavalry did not bother to fight, and immediately retreated at the first touch. They quickly left the battlefield of the American round formation and galloped away far into the depths of the Gobi Desert.

At this moment, General Frank Gilhoury was almost going crazy with anger when he saw the messy American camp. With red eyes, he personally led the two cavalry regiments in pursuit.

After entering the depths of the Gobi Desert, he was horrified to find that two groups of Tang Kingdom cavalry had gathered in front of them, and the total number had reached nearly 800.

And in front

There were countless cavalrymen responding, and their galloping horses stirred up large amounts of dust. It was estimated that there were only a lot more.

The speed of the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom in front has slowed down. It seems that they are going to unite their troops. The total strength of the cavalry has obviously gained the upper hand.

The total number of the two cavalry regiments in the hands of General Frank Gilhoury was more than 1,300 people. Comparing the two, General Frank Gilhoury wisely chose to slow down and turn around, returning to the camp to clean up the mess first.

Richard had gained a lot from this battle, and after fighting all night, the main force of the cavalry was physically and mentally exhausted, so he chose to call it a day and lead his troops back to the secret camp in the mountain collar more than ten kilometers away for repairs.

At this time, it was already about 6:30 in the morning, and the sky was bright.

When General Frank Gilhouri returned to the Gobi Desert camp, he saw a mess. More than 240 mules, horses and carts were still burning. The original circular formation was in pieces. The Gobi Desert was littered with wrecked carriages and dead soldiers.

.

further away

There were pieces of wreckage of Kentucky Cavalry soldiers and horses, and the strong smell of blood filled the air, adding a tragic atmosphere to the Gobi Desert.

The equipment of the fallen soldiers of the Kentucky Cavalry Regiment had long been confiscated, and the remaining intact horses were also taken away by the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. There was only a post-war mess left on the scene, describing the brutality of the battle.

Taking stock of the losses, General Frank Gilhoury almost spit out a mouthful of old blood;

More than 630 officers and soldiers of the Kentucky Cavalry Regiment were wiped out, and more than 20 cavalry were lost. This resulted in a sharp drop in the number of cavalry in the expeditionary force from 2,000 to more than 1,350, a loss of 1/3 of the troops, and a severe blow to morale.

The infantry losses were even more serious. In less than 10 minutes of crazy slashing and collision, the U.S. federal infantry suffered more than 1,370 casualties, including nearly 900 killed in action, many of whom were deeply trampled to death by war horses.

Especially frightening;

A golden-armored general who rushed forward held a sharp large sword and slashed wildly along the way. More than a hundred people died in his hands alone, and no one could take his place.

Someone recognized him. He was Richard, the "Crazy King" of the Tang Dynasty. He was like a god and demon from hell. He was so insane that no one could stop him.

The more serious losses were in the logistics equipment. The more than 160 four-wheeled carriages near the cavalry camp were better off and basically suffered no losses. A few mules and horses were frightened and were quickly stopped, either shot to death or forcibly subdued.

, can be ignored.

The more than 600 four-wheeled heavy-duty carriages in the infantry camp were in dire straits. According to rough statistics, more than 270 were completely destroyed, 84 were partially damaged in carrying supplies, and more than 20 carriages were dragged away by frightened mules and horses.

Disappeared deep into the Gobi.

Based on this calculation, more than half of the carriages in the infantry camp were lost, and 3/5 of the supplies were lost. The supplies that could have supported the battle for half a month could now only last for a week at best.

The sum of the two phases;

About 2,000 troops were lost, including 1,350 cavalry, 3,700 infantry, and more than 600 artillery.

Fortunately, the 32 Napoleon cannons dragged by the artillery regiment were very strong and difficult to destroy by the enemy cavalry in a hurry. They were preserved intact, and no shells, gunpowder or personnel suffered any losses.

Feeling heartbroken, General Frank Gilhoury immediately ordered that more than 300 baggage carriages accompanying the army were completely lost, and a total of 677 coachmen, carpenters and leatherworkers accompanying the army were all recruited into the army immediately to supplement the current loss of troops.

The infantry strength was replenished to 4,377, plus more than 480 lightly and seriously wounded, and the total strength was restored to 4,857, which is not much different from the original 5,000.

The supplies were burned to the ground, and the important logistics town of Denver was burned to the ground. This could not be replenished.
