Wild North America 1846

In World War I, the Second U.S. Army was defeated, killing and wounding more than 9,300 U.S. troops and taking over 10,000 prisoners. They won a complete victory in the Red Rock Valley, which greatly boosted the morale of the defenders of the Tang Kingdom.

Looking back at the entire 26-day battle, from May 15 to June 9, the defenders of the Red Rock Valley killed and wounded more than 21,000 U.S. troops (including some supplementary troops) and captured more than 10,000 prisoners.

The Second Corps was completely crippled.

It lost 1,952 people, including 872 killed and 1,080 wounded. The battle loss ratio between the two sides exceeded an astonishing 10.5:1, which once again confirmed the strong combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom.

Of course, this is not a battle-loss ratio achieved in a fair field environment, but rather one side fights with solid defenses while the other side launches a massive human sea attack, which is somewhat watery.

"Well done, old Kahn. Such a brilliant record is enough to obtain the title of earl and noble. I am very satisfied with it." Richard said with a happy expression while riding a tall horse.

His Majesty the King's personal promise made old Kahn express his sincere joy almost from his eyebrows to his eyes. He bowed down while sitting on the horse with a humble expression and saluted, "The Kahn family is willing to be His Majesty's sharp sword, sweeping away all the despicable enemies of the Tang Kingdom.

Force, always keep in mind the motto of loyalty, bravery, fearlessness, and humility, be loyal to His Majesty, loyal to the royal family, loyal to the knight's mission, and be willing to sacrifice his life for it."

"Well said Kahn, I need you to continue your efforts to wipe out these remaining enemies." Richard stretched out his hand to pull at the US military camp in the distance, then turned to the new Army Chief of Staff, Major General Dai Changfu, with a smile;

"Hahaha... I didn't expect the Yankees to be so careless. They had arranged so many back-ups before, but they were basically useless. The summer harvest is about to come, so now we can relax our plans a little more. By the end of July

Previously, the U.S. military was not allowed to cross the Red Rock Valley to avoid affecting the important summer harvest work."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, you are right to be lenient when anticipating the enemy and make more preparations. It's a pity that the Yankees are not up to par! Looking at the world today, not everyone is as wise as your Majesty." Major General Dai Changfu was very good at teasing and stretched out his hand to take a picture.

A slap in the face.

King Richard smiled indifferently, turned back to Brigadier General Kahn and asked, "How are you...are you having any difficulties?"

"There is indeed one thing. The main reason is that the defenders in the Red Rock Valley are insufficient." Old Kahn was straightforward and directly stated the current difficulties;

"Our infantry has a total of more than 6,000 people, leaving more than a thousand to guard the valley position. The other 5,000 people have all fought out of the valley, and cooperated with the 3,000 cavalry to carry out a comprehensive counterattack, and have achieved brilliant results.

There are two most important tasks at the moment;

One is to count the captured U.S. military corpses and bury and dig them on the spot. Due to the extremely hot temperatures, the corpses will quickly decompose in 24 hours, easily causing large-scale epidemics, so this work cannot be delayed.

Our army also has a large number of wounded in need of treatment. The environment on the battlefield is harsh and must be evacuated immediately.

The second item is to separate and transform prisoners into cannon fodder for attacking cities and demolishing strongholds, so as to quickly increase their own strength and prepare for the next war.

Thus

The more than 6,000 musketeers in the hands of Wei Chen are also responsible for the defense of the Hongyan Valley. It is difficult to mobilize enough troops to surround and destroy the US military camp. Please be aware of this, Your Majesty."

"Well, that makes sense."

Richard glanced at the old Brigadier General Kahn thoughtfully and knew that he was giving credit to the outside world. He was indeed a mature man. He knew that the benefits could not be obtained by one person alone, otherwise he would be struck by lightning.

Wherever there are people, there is a struggle for interests.

This has nothing to do with loyalty or lack of moral integrity, but is a matter of human nature.

Many generals in the Tang Dynasty wanted to prove themselves on the battlefield and achieve meritorious deeds. The old Kahn family took all the credit. Not only was it ugly, but it also offended many people.

Is it difficult to dispose of U.S. military corpses?

This does not require the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom to take action. They just drive the American prisoners to dig holes. By the way, they can pick out some thorn heads and kill them on the spot and bury them together.

These days, there is no Geneva Convention, so winner takes all.

As for the work of separating and transforming prisoners, the Tang Kingdom has formed a complete set of procedures. First, middle-lower and lower-level officers are selected. Their families may pay high ransoms. This is a tradition from Europe.

The remaining 500 people were directly organized into a team, and each person only fired two bullets. They used the supervising team equipped with heavy machine guns to press the charge. When the bullets were gone, they just spoke with their bayonets.

The prisoner who survives in the end and has seen the blood of the enemy is a qualified servant soldier.

Any soldiers who were emotionally resistant and reluctant were dragged directly to the roadside to enforce military law. This was rough and clear, but the effect was excellent.

It is precisely for this reason that what the Yankees hate most are the white servant soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Every one of them has the blood of the Yankees on their hands. They are more vicious, cruel and inhumane than the Chinese soldiers.

As long as it falls into the hands of the Americans, there will be no chance of death.

Every soldier who has truly become a white servant of the Tang Kingdom is very easy to recognize, because they will have loyalty medals hot-stamped on their chests, which represents that they have accepted the test and are loyal to the royal family of the Tang Kingdom.

If you want to rebel... there are no doors, let alone windows.

"Well, in this case... Changfu, I will assign you 2,000 more cavalry and give you 40 captured artillery pieces. Do you have the confidence to annihilate the remaining enemies of the US Second Corps and capture the US military camp?"

"Your Majesty, I promise to annihilate all remaining enemies and capture the US military camp. Otherwise, I will be willing to raise my head to see you."

"Well, that's settled then."

Richard made a final decision with a wave of his hand, and then turned to the dock and headed to the rear, leaving a faint sentence: "I'm waiting for the good news of your victory in the rear. Don't forget, the Yankees in Hugo Oasis will not just watch.

Seeing that the Second Corps is completely destroyed, it is possible that some actions will be taken."

"Wei Chen understands that a heavy fire brigade consisting of 16 heavy machine guns will be dispatched. If the Americans dare to come, they will not be able to discipline them."

"Haha... I only look at the results, not the process."

While Richard was speaking, he had already led a group of military and political ministers away.

Only Major General Dai Changfu, Chief of Army Staff, and Brigadier General Kahn were left at the scene. When their eyes met, they both smiled knowingly, and then burst out laughing in unison.

The remnant enemy in the US military camp is already a turtle in the urn. Major General Dai Changfu will take over the command of the 3,000 cavalry led by the Zhangzhou Cuirassier Heavy Cavalry Regiment. In addition, His Majesty the King has allocated 2,000 cavalry, and there will be 5,000 cavalry in hand.

Strong mobile force.

The United States and others have only 2,500 light cavalry at full strength, plus less than 4,000 musketeers (note: more than 1,700 wounded are not included). How can they be opponents?

The US military camp is built with rough wooden fences and is full of rugged North American style.

These timbers came from forests thousands of miles away in the heart of the United States. They were transported thousands of miles by train to the Burlington area, and then transported by horse-drawn carriages. After a journey of more than 260 kilometers, they were transported to the front line.

The construction of this US military camp alone cost countless dollars.

The 2,000 cavalry promised by His Majesty the King arrived quickly, immediately surrounded the US military camp from a distance, and cut off the long-distance telegraph lines.

At this time, the news of the defeat had already been transmitted to Hugo Oasis through long-distance telegraph lines. It was like a bolt from the blue, which stunned all the senior generals of the Western Expeditionary Army.

"God, how is this possible?" Lieutenant General Kanpur, the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army, was so shocked that he fell down on his chair and was speechless for a long time.

Not only did Lieutenant General Temple behave uncontrollably, but all the senior generals and staff officers at the U.S. Western Expeditionary Command simply went crazy.

The heavy military group assembled on the Hugo Oasis made them full of confidence. They were waiting for the good news from the Second Army, and then sent their troops to attack the Colorado Plateau. But who could have imagined that the entire army would be annihilated?

This is too outrageous, that is an army of 34,000!

The heavy machine gun... and the terrifying Storm heavy machine gun completely defeated the resistance of the US 2nd Corps.

The military reports from the front brought back terrible memories that the Western Expeditionary Army did not want to surface. Counting on the fingers, this was the third time that the U.S. military suffered heavy losses of more than 10,000 people, right?

The first time was the "Battle of the Nameless Valley" in the First Northern War. The U.S. Army led by Major General Tris Speke encountered an ambush set up with heavy machine gun positions and was severely defeated. Tris Speke

Major General Speke also died in this battle.

The second time was during the Second Northern War. General Taylor, the hero of the Mexican War, led the main cavalry force and stepped into the trap of the mad King Richard, staging the tragedy of the "Battle of the Missouri River".

The third time was this "Battle of Red Rock Valley". The U.S. Army Corps fell into the same pit again...

It’s so scary to think about it!

The Storm-type heavy machine gun has become a lingering nightmare for the U.S. federal army. It is a highly efficient killing machine. However, the Americans cannot develop this weapon, and it is only unique to the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Excellency, Commander, other issues can be discussed later. The top priority is to urgently dispatch cavalry to assist General Schneider's troops in safely evacuating the front camp, so as to avoid the terrible situation of the entire army being annihilated!" Deputy Commander Bob Wenglau

Lieutenant General Bu said with a worried expression.

Lieutenant General Arthur Temple woke up from his meditation, hesitated for a moment, and said with a gloomy face: "If the army of the Tang Dynasty sets heavy machine gun traps on the march, then our cavalry will be killed. Do you have any good ideas?"

Is it solved?"

"Uh...this..."

"Hmph, you can think of sending out cavalry troops immediately to respond, but that crazy king can't think of it? I'm afraid he is just waiting for me to step in?"

"What should we do?"

"Immediately electrify General Schneider's headquarters and order him to abandon all baggage and lead his troops to escape into the desert at starry night and move closer to the Hugo Oasis. The base camp will send search cavalry to pick them up and return." Lieutenant General Arthur Temple made a decisive decision.

Said word by word.

The strength of the American cavalry was not enough to compete one-on-one with the powerful cavalry of the Tang Kingdom. It often required 1 vs. 2, or even 1 vs. 3, to barely achieve a balance of power.

This is because the U.S. military does not have heavy cuirassier cavalry and all cavalry are light cavalry. Secondly, most of the U.S. cavalry are rookies with a serious lack of combat experience and relatively low combat effectiveness. Thirdly, there is a gap in weapons and equipment.

The battle of the Missouri River led by General Taylor suffered a disastrous defeat. Not only did they lose tens of thousands of elite cavalry, but also the newly equipped cavalry-style revolvers, which all fell into the hands of the enemy.

It is known from General Schneider's military reports;

The Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty even equipped its musketeers with this elite weapon, which dealt a fatal blow to the attacking U.S. troops in the Battle of Hongyan Valley. The losses were so horrific that it really made people spit out blood for a long time.

You know, the U.S. military's rear arsenal was working hard to find this new cavalry revolver, which was not fully equipped with cavalry troops, only about half of it.

Lieutenant General Arthur Temple's seemingly ruthless decision meant that General Schneider's troops would abandon more than 1,700 wounded American soldiers, and untie the horses and green mules that were used to pull the carts for use by some of the musketeers of the U.S. Second Corps.

Ride and join the cavalry to break through the blockade and escape into the desert at night.

This move is the only feasible solution now.
