The cavalry at the front came to the edge of the maple forest in only two or three minutes, but these huge maple trees suddenly lay across the road, the maple trees on both sides crossed, and the huge canopy blocked the entire road, not to mention riding an ordinary war horse to rush over, even if it was a red rabbit horse sitting on the ground, it couldn't fly over!

A few large trees blocked the way, and in the face of the bullets fired from both sides, the cavalry could not fly, so they had to quickly turn their horses' heads and run behind! However, at this time, the cavalry behind had also galloped forward, and the cavalry in front and behind slammed together, making a mess, and the cavalry in the middle of the road could only become the target of the infantry, and were killed by the dense bullets one by one!

Not only the cavalry in front, but also the cavalry in the middle and the cavalry behind were all fatally hit by the federal troops on both sides, and such a dense firepower is definitely not something that the panicked cavalry can live in a low grade now!

Elvis in the back was stunned, in just this short period of ten minutes, the casualties of the cavalry had reached nearly a thousand, it was too unlucky, almost all the unfavorable conditions of the cavalry division had caught up!

"Retreat, retreat immediately! Retreat to the rear! ”

Now the road ahead has been completely blocked, Elvis can only lead the army to the rear, at least there is no dense artillery attack in the rear, it is easier than the front, although the narrow road makes it inconvenient for the cavalry to turn around, but now there is no other way!

The cavalry that turned over, once again launched an attack towards the back, as long as it can rush out, the opponent's strength will definitely not be too strong, as long as it comes out of the maple forest, then the sky is high and the birds will fly!

However, when the cavalry behind began to charge towards the rear, the accident happened again!

"Click, click, click......"

At the southern edge of the maple grove, several huge maple trees fell on the road, and the road was read tightly!

Chen Hai led the troops of two regiments, ambushed on both sides, and launched a fierce attack on the cavalry, and the dense bullets rushed at him again!

Well, this time, there are dense forests on both sides, and there are big trees blocking the road in front and back, and the cavalry has nowhere to stay, and they are completely trapped in the dense forest, without any temper!

What to do? If this continues, it won't be long before the cavalry in the open will be beaten up!

Elvis immediately decided, the roads on the north and south sides will definitely not be able to successfully escape, so fight back on the spot!

"Order, all the cavalry will leave the road, enter the dense forest, and disperse!"

Elvis's command of the battle is really not to be underestimated, and he made the most favorable judgment in the shortest possible time!

Nearly 10,000 cavalry on the highway began to urge their horses, jumped into the maple forests on both sides, and began to launch a counterattack against the officers and men of the Federation Army!

It's just that, even now, the cavalry is still in an absolutely disadvantageous state, in the maple forest, the vegetation is dense, the space is narrow, the cavalry is inconvenient to move on the war horse, and the movement is very inflexible, the rifle in the hand just wants to shoot, and does not want to be blocked by the branches, where is like the federal soldiers who have been ambushed, one by one all in the grass or canopy, one by one cold shots, and the unlucky cavalry can only be beaten passively in the woods!

And the most unfortunate thing is that now in the mountains and forests, two or three hundred meters in the east and west directions, there are all federal soldiers, all the sides are blocked by the federal soldiers, all the cavalry is in chaos, scattered in the woods, there is no way to organize an effective counterattack, the panicked cavalry is fighting separately, just thinking that they can get out of here as soon as possible, this is simply hell!

The chaotic cavalry suffered heavy casualties under the sniper fire of the Second Brigade, and Elvis was also concentrated in the shoulders with random guns, grinning in pain, and in pain!

"Rush, you must rush out! All the cavalry charged south, rushed out of the woods, and assembled towards the town of Glespan in the south! ”

Although he suffered a huge blow, Elvis still soberly gave the last order, now there is no way to fight in the woods, can only run out first, only highlight the maple forest, after completing the new assembly, can ensure their combat effectiveness, stay here, there is only a dead end, the cavalry of their own division will definitely be eaten up by the other party, and I don't know who came up with such a subtle and ineffective strategy to eat their own cavalry to death!

The two sides fought fiercely in the maple forest for a whole day, and the cavalry, which was repeatedly blocked, finally broke free from the attack of the second brigade and rushed out of the maple forest!

However, even if they rushed out, the cavalry was completely abandoned, and now the cavalry not only discarded all the ammunition and baggage, but also some even discarded the horses and weapons, and now Elvis is not much stronger than Sturridge!

By the time the cavalry gradually gathered in the small town of Glespan, the sky was completely dark, the moon was rising in the east, the silver light was shining everywhere, and the cavalry was extremely miserable.

Elvis looked at the down-and-out cavalry around him, and really wanted to tear that it was a scout who came to shreds, it was their mistakes that led to their strategic decision-making mistakes, this battle was fought, and the cavalry who escaped from the woods, those on horseback, and those who did not ride on horseback combined, now there are no more than five thousand people! And some of them were wounded to a certain extent, and the rest of the cavalry were either killed in the maple forest or captured, and the casualties of the entire cavalry division were close to two-thirds, which was a fiasco that Elvis had never encountered since he joined the army, an absolute fiasco!

It's a pity that the dozen or so scouts have nowhere to find now, all of them died in the chaos, Elvis can't even if he wants to settle accounts with them, Elvis wants to cry without tears, although there are nearly 5,000 cavalry, there are still a lot of troops, but, you know, now they want horses and horses, guns and guns, ammunition and ammunition, food and grass and grass, the entire cavalry division can't fight again, and the entire cavalry division has already been in name only!

It's too powerful, this group of federal troops is too powerful, could it be this battle that that the magical Eastern General personally commanded? Except for the Eastern General in the Federal Army, Elvis didn't believe that anyone else had this ability, even if the Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Army, Grant, personally deployed and commanded, he would definitely not be able to achieve such a major result!

Chief of Staff Iverson cried and asked in a low voice, "Elvis, what are we going to do now?" This battle has completely destroyed our cavalry division......"

What to do?

Elvis roared angrily, "How do I know what to do? It was already our luck to be late for such a crushing defeat before we arrived in Richmond, and not to be court-martialed! ”
