Wild North America 1846

The year 1858 passed quietly. It was a turbulent year with civil wars raging around the world. Europe, Asia and the Americas were not at peace, and the law of the jungle of the weak and the strong was fully demonstrated.

The Taiping Rebellion in China, the Nian Army Rebellion, and the Second Opium War initiated by British, French and other colonists brought serious disasters to this ancient country, and the people were in dire straits.

The Tang Kingdom used strong ships and cannons to knock on the door of Fuso State, forcing Fuso State to sign the "Treaty of Edo", and obtained concessions and many super-national treatments. Britain, France, Russia, the United States and other countries came one after another, asking for enjoyment.

They were treated the same as the Tang Kingdom, and each signed similar treaties with the Fusang Kingdom.

At this point, the door of Fuso Kingdom was completely opened and it was reduced to the status of a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country.

Looking back at China, the Tang Kingdom was forced to sign an unequal treaty that enjoyed the same rights as Britain, France and other Western powers; it "followed all precedents and was the same."

in Europe

The Kingdom of Sardinia's efforts to unify the Italian peninsula were strongly rejected by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which became an unavoidable obstacle on the issue of unification of the peninsula. The two sides were inevitably on the verge of war.

In 1859, the bloody civil war in the United States entered its third year. Although both sides were tortured and bruised, they still tried their best to expand the scope of the civil war and completely defeat their opponents.

kansas city

In this capital of a central state in the United States, all urban buildings have been destroyed by artillery fire and bullets, and there are ruins everywhere. Blackened wood and smoke are rising after the fire, and rubble is everywhere.

Although the Southern government claimed victory in the Civil War in Kansas and occupied the state, Northern forces never withdrew from the northern border of Kansas and did not acknowledge this claim.

After the outbreak of the all-out civil war between the North and the South, Kansas City became one of the focuses of the Western battlefield because of its important railway transportation hub location.

Another focus of the Western battlefield was the Northern Army's attack from Kentucky to Tennessee, which was under the control of the Southern Army, in an attempt to occupy this agricultural state known as the "Breadbasket of the South."

Northern troops wearing a variety of military uniforms have occupied most of Kansas City. The ruins of the battlefield they advanced along are littered with corpses, and many soldiers fell on the path of the attack.

Fierce fighting continues

The southern troops who retreated to the railway station relied on barbed wire fences and train cars on the railway to fight back with fierce firepower, but the situation was precarious.

The northern army relied on its large numbers and launched a fierce attack regardless of the cost, causing a large number of casualties to the southern army. Although the southern army fought hard, it was still unable to reverse the battlefield situation.

More than a week of hard work

The Confederate army defending the city repelled numerous attacks by the Northern Army, but the U.S. Army was always able to come back. General Sherman's strength was as high as 176,000, which was almost three times that of the Southern Army.

for days

The Northern Army suffered more than 40,000 casualties, but under General Sherman's strict supervision, the troops continued to come forward like an almost endless tide.

The southern garrison, with a total strength of 61,500, suffered more than 23,000 casualties in the battle and was on the verge of collapse.

In a sturdy station building at the Kansas Railway Station

Confederate General Daniel Harvey Hill dropped a message in his hand with a gloomy expression. Confederate Commander-in-Chief Robert E. Lee promised to mobilize all reinforcements and asked his troops to defend Kansas City without any loss.

But that was not what General Hill wanted. After fighting for such a long time, his troops were close to running out of ammunition and food. He launched several hand-to-hand counterattacks before repelling the enemy.

Even if a few trains of new soldiers arrive as reinforcements, what's the use?

"Your Excellency, General, we may not be able to hold on much longer!" Major General Simpson, who was black and numb from the smoke of the war, walked in from the door in a panic, showing his white teeth when he spoke, looking extremely depressed.

General Hill asked gloomily, "What's going on at the front?"

"It's terrible. The high ground on the left side of the battle line was occupied by the enemy. An infantry regiment sent to counterattack was completely destroyed. There were too many enemies. The soldiers who had run out of bullets could only fight the enemy with their teeth and bayonets. They couldn't hold on for long.

Already."

Just said this

There was a dense explosion of artillery fire in my ears, shaking the solid stone house and sending dust falling. The smoke filled the air for a while, choking Major General Simpson and coughing loudly.

In the distance, a train coming from the south made a harsh braking sound, and thick smoke billowed from the locomotive into the sky, as if it was unfurling a bloody battle flag on the battlefield.

After a while, the train arrived not far away.

Before the train stopped, a large number of soldiers swarmed out, gathered together with sharp whistles, and quickly rushed to reinforce the precarious front line.

"Maybe... there is still hope." General Daniel Harvey Hill said quietly. This train came from the south and must be reinforcements sent by General Lee.

There were at least nearly 2,000 soldiers crammed into the stuffy tank car, which was a new force.

The problem is not with these 2,000 soldiers. With such a small force, they would be dead and wounded in just one morning on the battlefield, and it might not take that long.

The key is that this train brought precious ammunition supplies, brought confidence, and may even have brought the Storm-type heavy machine gun that General Hill dreamed of, which is the big killer weapon of the killing group's infantry attack.

The Kansas garrison originally had about 40 heavy machine guns. In the days of hard fighting, they were either destroyed by artillery fire, damaged and discarded, or exploded during retreat. Now they no longer have this absolute weapon to suppress infantry attacks.

Sure enough, along with the reinforcements of this southern military column came 12 Storm-type heavy machine guns and a large amount of ammunition. On the battlefield, the numbing sound of "ta da da da, da da da da..." sounded again, and the North

The soldiers were knocked to the ground like wheat, and then retreated like a tide.

"Dear General Hill, I hope we arrived in time. The situation here does not look good."

Major General Fan Pengfei saluted with an elegant expression. Accompanied by several officers, he came to the temporary headquarters of the Confederate Army in Kansas City and met General Hill who looked constipated.

General Hill looked at the other party, who was wearing a decent general's uniform, with golden epaulettes and shiny leather boots, and a Tang sword with gold thread on the handle. He walked over like a noble who understands the sentiments of the people. He felt like he was eating.

It's as uncomfortable as a fly.

"Thanks to you, we finally defeated the damn Yankees. They were as invincible as the passenger pigeons over the mountains and plains. Obviously, my headquarters may not be able to entertain a nobleman well."

"Hmm, the conditions here are indeed limited. But I am not here to attend the reception, but to bring sincere friendship. I want to see what help I can provide?" Major General Fan Pengfei spread his hands indifferently with a regretful tone.

continued;

"It seems we were wrong. General Hill is obviously willing to bear the pressure of the Yankees on his own, so just pretend I haven't been here. Please also prepare some horses..."

Major General Fan Pengfei raised his wrist, looked at his expensive watch, and said, "If we leave half an hour later, we can still make it in time for the welcome reception held in Manhattan in the evening. As far as I know, many trains bound for the south stop in Manhattan, where

It’s quite lively now.”

This Manhattan is not that New York Manhattan. There are many places with the same name in the United States, and Manhattan is one of them.

Manhattan is a transit town located more than 100 kilometers west of Kansas City. It is also one of the towns along the approximately 890-kilometer railway line from Phoenix Castle to Red Stone Valley Fortress to Kansas.

Almost two-thirds of the railway line is the vast Gobi Desert and desert areas. Only at the east and west ends near Kansas City and Phoenix Castle are there large aquatic mountains, forming an oasis with lush vegetation.

Manhattan is located in an oasis at the east end of the railway line, only more than a hundred kilometers away from Kansas City. If you continue to the west, you will enter the vast Gobi Desert.

It was originally a post station, but after more than ten years it has developed into a transit town with a population of about a thousand residents.

In the two years since the outbreak of the Civil War, due to the importance of the railway line, the town's population has expanded rapidly, more than tripling its number to approximately 3,000 to several hundred people.

After the all-out battle for Kansas City began, all rail transportation was disrupted.

This was not only a disruption of the blood transfusion artery to the south, but also a disruption of the Tang Kingdom's way of making huge war profits. No matter from which perspective, the capitalists could not be too concerned.

"Please sit down, Your Majesty General, I only have coffee to serve you here, no milk and no sugar. This is like the difficult situation we are facing, isn't it?" General Daniel Harvey Hill smiled bitterly, he really didn't

I like the well-dressed aristocratic general in front of me. The southerners who stand out against him look like country bumpkins.

It's like a well-dressed aristocratic woman comes among a group of unkempt housewives, as if she is the master. How can it be embarrassing?

But after all, Hill was a general, a big shot in the Kansas Army in charge of the Western battlefield, not an ignorant and rude Southerner who would not let his emotions control his reason.

"Let me introduce myself, Lieutenant General Hill, commander of the Confederate Army of Kansas, a veteran of the Mexican War and a large cotton plantation owner."

"It is a great honor to meet you, General Hill. I am a veteran who participated in the U.S.-Tang Dynasty War, followed His Majesty in the southern expedition to Mexico and led the army to participate in the Crimean War in Europe. I am Viscount Fan Pengfei, Director of Military Training of the Army Staff Headquarters.

"

General Hill; "..."

Major General Simpson; "..."

A group of officers from the US military headquarters; "..."

Women compete for beauty when they are together, men have BMWs and cars when they are together, and soldiers naturally talk about merit and glory when they are together.

Although Major General Fan Pengfei is young, the wars he has participated in are all fierce battles that are famous overseas, and his qualifications are naturally very strong!

Among other things, as far as the Crimean War, which is world-famous for its bloody cruelty, none of the generals on both sides of the American Civil War had the honor of participating in it, their resumes of meritorious service were naturally short.

General Hill covered up his embarrassed dry coughs and found a place to go down the steps. He stretched out his hand and made what he thought was an elegant gesture of courtesy. He took the lead and sat down on the dusty chair, and then asked, "Can I know?"

…Did you bring any help?”
