Soon, Chen Hai led a large army and withdrew to Richmond.

In this battle, Chen Hai independently fought against a cavalry brigade and two infantry regiments of the Confederate Army with a brigade plus an infantry battalion and an artillery battalion, and beat the opponent to a temperless one, which can be said to be a complete victory, although the second brigade paid the price of nearly 1,000 casualties, but the purpose of the second brigade's experience was completely achieved, one of a big victory gave the soldiers great confidence and fighting spirit, and second, through two battles, the recruits of the second brigade accumulated rich combat experience, even if there were nearly 1,000 casualties, it was more than a loss. After a period of rectification, the Second Brigade will take on a completely new look.

"Brother Ye, that's it, in this war, I found that the army of the American Federation is really too wasteful, even if it is stronger than our green battalion soldiers, it is very limited, if it is the same equipment, I think the army of Zeng Guofan or Li Hongzhang in the south will be strong by them, it is really vulnerable!"

Guo Ye nodded and replied: "Well, yes, Xiaohai, this battle is good, especially the three earthen fortresses you used, shoot in turns, use the earthen fortress to cover the body, convenient for shooting, which can not only reduce casualties, but also increase the rate of shooting, very good idea, it can be used in our other battles in the future, as for the American army, their military elites have all defected to the Confederate government, and now in the federal army, many commanders are only officials in the government, and have never been on the battlefield at all, Where there is any command ability, this ability to command in the immediate battle is much worse, so in an army, the general is the most important. Soldier bears one. Will be a litter. You people must not relax your demands at any time, and you must follow the development of the times, and if you do not move forward, you will soon find that you are no longer the defeated opponents of your former men......"

"Yes, Brother Ye, I wrote it down."

Chen Hai agreed and hesitated. Then he said: "Brother Ye, there is one more thing ......"

Guo Ye saw that Chen Hai's words flickered a little, and asked, "What's wrong?" If there is something, say happily, don't ink! ”

Chen Hai smiled bitterly and replied: "Brother Ye, the reason why this battle was unfinished was because the Federation Army dragged us back, don't talk about it the first time, the 21st Brigade had no power to resist, so the rangers rushed to the position." As a result, the family escaped. As for the two regiments of the Confederate Army besieging Loudoun County, I would have annihilated them. Captured more than 1,000 people at the head of staff of the opposing division, Edgar, did not expect that when I collected the military weapons, I was attacked by the Confederate army in the distance, which caught us off guard, and we responded with all our strength to stabilize the situation, as a result, that Edgar took advantage of our fierce battle and took the opportunity to slip away, and more than 1,000 prisoners ran away with only more than 200 prisoners, and our soldiers also suffered more than 200 casualties......"

Well?

Guo Ye's heart jumped, and his eyebrows raised, "Xiaohai, what did you say?" ”

Chen Hai smiled bitterly: "The 19th Brigade and the 20th Brigade under Riley of the Federal Army launched a surprise attack on us without finding out the situation from afar, treating us as Confederate troops, and we were caught off guard by more than 200 casualties, and the captured Confederate prisoners also fled eighty percent ......."

Before Guo Ye could answer, Gao Qi on the side was anxious: "Xiaohai, do you mean that you were beaten by the special federal army?" ”

Chen Hai nodded helplessly, this matter is really aggrieved, although he is fighting with all his strength, and the other party's casualties do not have to be few, but after all, it is the federal army that is killed and wounded......

Gao Qi roared angrily: "Are you stupid, dog, it doesn't matter who he is, it's not okay to bully us!" Why didn't you kill them all? The dead and wounded are all our brothers! ”

Chen Hai was speechless and said, "Are you crazy?" At that time, I only had one brigade of troops, and I had three or four brigades under Riley, and I wiped them all out? You look down on me too much......"

"Xiaohai, are you just going to talk to them?"

Guo Ye was dissatisfied, "No matter who it is, since he has done something wrong, he must pay the price, whether he is Riley or what brigade commander, clean up what they are talking about first!" Our brothers can't die in vain! ”

Chen Hai replied: "Brother Ye, I have already scolded Riley, Riley also beat the two brigade commanders under him, his head was swollen into a pig's head, he has been apologizing to me, the same sequence of the federal army, I can't force it too much, I can only let it go for the time being, as for what to do next, I have to ask the eldest brother to decide for yourself!" ”

Guo Ye snorted coldly and said angrily: "Decide personally? No matter who they are, they have to pay enough price to Lao Tzu, and I will personally ask Grant for an explanation, ******, my people can't die in vain! Xiaohai, your temper is too soft, the so-called mercy is not in charge, if you keep being so soft-hearted, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss, if you don't change it, I will really let you take charge of that company! ”

Chen Hai was really startled, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't let me take charge of the company, then I will suffocate to death, I will definitely change, specially, when Riley comes to Richmond, I will kill him as a ****!" ”

Gao Qi shouted on the side: "Yes, theirs took advantage of our brothers, and they still want to get away with it, and they want to be beautiful, even if you don't do it, I will do it, I will definitely not let them have a good time!" ”

Guo Ye glared at Gao Qi and said, "Okay, Gao Qi, from today onwards, with you in charge of the first division, Xiao Hai will go to the second division to train the second division, remember to give me results as soon as possible, as for the chief of staff, let Xiao Hai concurrently serve." ”

As soon as Gao Qi stuck out his tongue, he heard such news, and he was so happy that his mouth grinned to his ears, it was so beautiful, the first division, those are all elites, who doesn't want to fight with elites? What's the use of carrying a bunch of waste?

Gao Qi jumped up and said hurriedly: "Thank you, big brother, thank you, thank you, big brother, I will definitely not let you down!" Haha, Xiaohai, this time, Lao Tzu finally snatched the position of the commander of the first division! ”

Guo Ye replied lightly: "Gao Qi, you have to bring it to Lao Tzu, once you lose, then you don't want to have a good life!" ”

Chen Hai sighed, suddenly lost his spirit, forget it, he is unlucky, go back and wait for him to meet Riley, even Ben Zaili, Lao Tzu wants to take it back together!

While a few people were talking, a staff officer ran in and said urgently: "General, Philadelphia, Mr. Xue Fucheng is in a hurry!" ”
