Wild North America 1846

See this scene

Admiral Taylor's face turned livid, and after a moment he squeezed out two words through his teeth: "Shameless!"

Everyone knows that the power of revolvers is low. The effective killing range of ordinary revolvers is about 50 meters. The cavalry-style revolver lengthens the barrel and increases the amount of gunpowder. It can barely extend the effective killing range to about 120 to 130 meters. This

It's already the ultimate.

The problem is

At the ultimate killing distance, the power of revolver musket bullets is not enough to break through heavy breastplates.

Most of the cavalrymen of the Tang Kingdom who were killed or injured were unlucky. The bullets hit their faces, arms, or thighs, so there were only a few casualties.

Most of the bullet's power was absorbed by the breastplate, leaving the bullet alone.

On the other hand, the U.S. military was in dire straits. These light cavalrymen withstood the power of revolvers 100%. Even after escaping, they were still chased and beaten from behind by the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom. Their corpses stretched for more than 2 kilometers.

This was a completely unequal battle. General Taylor had suffered such a big loss. He was so angry that he could not vent his anger. He asked with a livid face, "Are you sure there is no ambush in the forest?"

"No, Your Majesty General, we have investigated carefully and there is neither an ambush nor a terrifying heavy machine gun."

"That's good, order the artillery to go forward and bombard the enemy indiscriminately."

"As you command, General."

The U.S. artillerymen immediately took action, whipping their horses and pulling 24 9-pound Napoleon cannons out from the rear of the team. Before the artillery could be set up, the Tang Kingdom cavalry had already turned around and ran away.

Seeing the US military launching field artillery from a distance again, the heavy cavalry of the Tang Kingdom turned around and ran away like frightened rabbits.

this time

The cavalry of the Tang Kingdom retreated a full seven or eight kilometers back, almost exiting the range of the wild forest, and gave up the narrowest area they originally occupied. The grassland from the forest to the river bank in front of them became much wider, and the distance between the two

Expanding to between 850 and 900 meters, the battlefield is more open.

no way

General Taylor pinched his nose and directed the army to press forward, and once again launched 24 9-pound Napoleon field guns, preparing to use artillery fire to force the Tang Kingdom cavalry to continue to retreat, and the two sides launched a decisive battle in the vast wilderness.

In this case

The U.S. light cavalry can make full use of the vast space to maneuver flexibly and avoid being crushed by the enemy's heavy cuirassier cavalry.

Which one is strong and which one is weak lies in being able to flexibly utilize one's own strengths and restrain the other's weaknesses.

The heavy cuirassiers were only unstoppable under certain battlefield conditions. As long as there was sufficient room for dodge and maneuver, the light cavalry was not incapable of fighting them.

General Taylor was convinced;

As long as the US military adopts reasonable tactics, it can bite off a piece of flesh from the opponent's body and inflict heavy damage to the enemy.

The U.S. military continued to press forward until they were about 1.5 kilometers away from the cavalry formation of the Tang Dynasty. Then, they pushed 24 Napoleon artillery pieces to the front of the array for the third time, preparing for an all-out bombardment.

The weird thing is

At this moment, the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom did not retreat even half a step. The devil king Richard in the golden helmet exuded a coldness that kept strangers away from him and waved his finger forward gently.

A sharp whistle sounded, and a large number of soldiers in the forest on the left threw away their vegetation camouflage, revealing a total of 27 Storm heavy machine guns. The heavy machine guns were more than 30 meters apart, and each heavy machine gun was surrounded by six soldiers guarding it.

sudden changes

General Taylor's face instantly turned pale with fright, and he shouted loudly: "Oh, this is a storm heavy machine gun trap, a death trap, retreat quickly, quickly..."

Unfortunately it's too late!

Uh-oh...

The busy US artillerymen did not react at all. While they were stunned, the Storm heavy machine gun, which had been hiding in the woods for a long time, opened fire angrily.

in an instant

27 fire whips of death that seemed to come from hell struck the dense formation of US cavalry. The skin and flesh were torn apart after the beating, and the stumps and broken arms flew into the sky accompanied by thick blood mist. The hot bullets pierced into the flesh and made a terrifying sound.

The muffled sound of "puffing, puffing, puffing" is invincible.

Just a few dozen seconds of effort

More than 700 U.S. troops have been knocked to the ground, like whole fields of wheat being cut down. The scene is horrific.

Seven to eight thousand U.S. cavalrymen were crowded together. Some wanted to charge, others wanted to retreat, and the result was a mess.

Faced with the extreme fear of death, every white cavalryman was shouting in terror, and there was shouting and wailing everywhere. The officer's order could not be effectively conveyed to the company, which further aggravated the chaos.

Just at this time

Richard raised the machete in his hand high into the air and issued an order for an all-out attack. The cavalry queue headed by the heavy cuirassiers slowly pressed forward, followed closely by the light cavalry, and all 4,200 cavalrymen pressed forward.

The Storm heavy machine gun was still outputting firepower crazily. It was not until our own cavalry occupied the firing range that the already hot heavy machine gun barrel stopped rotating, exuding a strong smell of gunpowder smoke.

The heavy cuirassiers of the Tang Dynasty rode their horses at a fast pace. When the distance was close to 300 meters, they first fired a row of flintlock muskets. After firing, they inserted their holsters into their holsters and then chased after the frantically fleeing American cavalry.

At this time, the battlefield was littered with corpses. The remaining approximately four to five thousand U.S. cavalrymen turned around and fled, but in despair they saw densely packed cavalry from the Tang Kingdom appearing in front of them, blocking the way.

This was the timely arrival of more than 3,600 cavalrymen from the vanguard army Gao Shiheng. They had already arrived nearby to ambush, waiting to attack the urn from both front and back to catch the turtle.

At the front of the line was the San Francisco Cuirassiers. The shining armor of the heavy cavalry was a sight to behold.

No one has forgotten that... the U.S. Third Cavalry Regiment fell into a tragic situation that was almost one-sided and massacred.

The U.S. cavalrymen subconsciously slowed down their horses, fear of death growing in their hearts, and they looked around hastily, as if trying to find a way out.

With the forest on one side and the bone-chilling Missouri River on the other, the American cavalry almost lost the courage to resist.

At this time, General Taylor, who had a miserable expression on his face, was being crowded by a group of officers and fled on horseback. Soon the front was congested, and the officers in the middle could not drive away the soldiers in a hurry, so they could only shake General Taylor eagerly.

Arm, shouted; "Mr. General, our current situation is very critical and we urgently need your command."

"Your Majesty General, wake up!"

"Jesus... General Taylor, what should we do?"

The officers shouted loudly and fearfully, which made General Taylor recover from the extreme shock. His eyes became spiritual again. After looking left and right, he subconsciously pointed at the Missouri River and said: "Quickly, get down to the river and cross the river.

There is still a way to survive."

Finished

He took the lead in shaking the reins, and slammed his legs against the horse's belly. When he sat down, the horse hissed loudly in pain, and jumped into the cold river water.

Following General Taylor's example, the surrounding American officers and soldiers panicked and jumped into the river one after another.

This side

Richard led the heavy cuirassiers to press hard. After a round of heavy rain, he held a machete and slammed into the panicked US cavalry camp.

At this moment, he was slashing left and right, displaying his divine power. There was no enemy in his path, and a trail of blood flowed out. He was really like an unparalleled demon king, with overwhelming evil aura.

Under the leadership of His Majesty the King, the heavy cavalry of the Tang Dynasty slammed into the US cavalry camp one after another, waving their sharp sabers in their hands, killing the US cavalry and crying for their fathers and mothers.

The chaotic battle lasted for more than ten minutes. The U.S. cavalry was dead and wounded, with nearly half of the casualties being killed. The remaining ones were also discouraged and dismounted and knelt down to surrender.

After Richard's bloody battle, his body and the horse he sat on were all stained blood red, which was the blood spattered by the enemy. He really looked like a god of death.

He rode his horse past the U.S. cavalry who were kneeling on the ground. The trembling white cavalry lowered their heads to the ground and did not dare to look up at all.

Richard's eyes were attracted by the hundreds of U.S. cavalry swimming in the Missouri River, and he rode his horse to the riverside to stop and watch.

Many of the American cavalrymen who were swimming were frozen to death. They were pushed off their horses by the current and soon submerged into the water and disappeared.

Some of the war horses in the river were struggling to swim forward, while others were numb from the cold and howling sadly. They could only drift downward with the current, and they saw that the lives of both humans and horses were in danger.

At first glance, the Missouri River seems to have a calm flow. Only when you get into the river do you realize that the calm river current is very fast, and the US cavalry rushing into the river will be quickly carried downstream.

In such cold weather, I am afraid that only 20-30% of the time I can actually swim to the other side.

As for whether he will survive in the end, that's still a matter of opinion.

However, compared to the U.S. cavalry who fled into the forest, jumping into the Missouri River was a better way to escape.

The American soldiers who fled into the wild woods had a slim chance of survival. The deeper the wild woods went, the greater the swamp area. No one dared to go deep into it, and the possibility of survival was close to 0.

Suddenly

Richard felt a deep malice beside him. At this critical moment, he raised his hand and threw the machete in his hand. The 2.8-meter-long machete flew over thirty meters in an instant. The powerful force threw the machete out.

A US military captain who had just stood up penetrated and fell to the ground.

At this time, the man already had a revolver in his hand, and he obviously wanted to kill him.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Only then did Liu Wu and other guards officers belatedly shout out, surrounding Richard tightly with a roar.

"No need, the white man who can kill me hasn't been born yet." Richard waved his hand sternly.

before dark

The results of the inventory are out;

In this battle, the main force of approximately 10,430 US cavalrymen was basically destroyed, with 6,357 people killed, 3,027 captured, and 1,046 missing (including US soldiers who fled into the forest and jumped into the Missouri River, and the number of survivors is unknown).

The cavalry of the Tang Kingdom suffered more than 270 casualties, including 83 killed in action and the rest were lightly or seriously injured.

no doubt

In the Battle of the Missouri River, the main force of more than 8,600 cavalrymen from the Tang Kingdom achieved a complete victory and achieved a legendary victory. The result of this battle shocked American society and Europe, creating the myth that the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom was invincible.
