Legacy of the Sabretooth

Jackson lived up to his name as a famous general, and his soldiers were not afraid of death. Although there were only more than 4,000 people, they dared to charge at the federal army, which was three times their size.

However, courage could not fill the gap in strength, and ordinary soldiers of the Confederate Army could not stop Victor at all.

After stabbing down a Union soldier, a roaring Confederate discovers a more worthy target: a Union officer in red woolen pants and armed with a command knife.

Unbeknownst to him, his opponent was Victor "Sabretooth" Clyde, a recent rising star in the Union Army.

All he knows is that he fights for his homeland and homeland, which means that he either kills the other or is killed by the other.

In fact, these thoughts only stayed in his mind for a moment, and he launched the last charge of his life towards Victor.

While Victor held the rifle stabbed by the Southern soldier in his left hand, the command knife in his right hand had already slashed through the opponent's throat.

Instead of looking at the Confederate soldier who was clutching his throat and kneeling, he plunged the rifle he had grabbed in his left hand into the chest of a Confederate soldier who was trying to sneak up on him from behind.

Victor dodged the bayonets of the two Confederate soldiers on his side, then secured the two rifles with his arms, turned around, and decapitated their owners with the command knife in his hand.

Victor, who had completed four kills, cleared the small area, only to be immediately filled by soldiers on both sides.

But none of this could stop Victor from advancing, and with almost every step he took, one or two Confederate soldiers fell.

But they still didn't retreat, and instead charged Victor more and more fearlessly, but they did it in a different way.

Instead of rushing over in twos to refuel, they formed a battle team of three and launched a thrust towards Victor from the top, middle and bottom at the same time.

In their opinion, Victor should have no choice now, even if he blocks the way with his hands and the knife blocks the way, isn't there still a way to stab him.

Reality proved that they were thinking too much, and with the flash of the sword, the three soldiers of the Southern Army felt a light in their hands, and all three rifles were cut off.

After another flash of swords, the three Southern Army soldiers only felt a chill in their throats, and they fell into darkness in front of them.

In this way, Victor slaughtered the soldiers of the Southern Army on the battlefield with great efficiency, and the command knife in his hand had long been discarded because of the curling blade.

The rifle he was holding now was captured from the hands of a soldier of the Confederate Army after he had crushed it, and it was not the first rifle he had captured, and a rifle could not stand his vigorous breaking after stabbing seven or eight soldiers to death at most in his hands.

The main thing is that this guy likes to stab people to death, and then pick them out and smash them. This rifle can withstand such a toss, but fortunately, before the Southern Army dies, rifles are available in unlimited quantities and delivered to your door.

Victor doesn't have to worry about running out of weapons at all, and besides, Victor without weapons is the most dangerous: his claws and fangs are his most powerful weapons.

However, judging from the scene, he couldn't use it, because no Southern Army soldiers dared to charge at him anymore.

They only dared to form a semi-encirclement around him, and then retreated as he walked forward, again because Victor was rushing too fast and too ahead, and there were only soldiers of the Southern Army around him.

As the two sides moved on, the boys of the Fourteenth Brooklyn Regiment quickly caught up with Victor and came to his side.

Under the double blow of Victor and the boys of the Fourteenth Brooklyn Vigilante, the morale of the Confederate army finally collapsed.

They began to turn around and retreat in a hurry, and soon the retreat turned into a rout. Leaving behind his weapons and equipment, he desperately began to flee towards the valley of Sugayado Province.

Stonewall' Jackson was also dragged along with his officers and soldiers and withdrew to their camp in the Shan'an Valley.

The battle ended with 500 casualties for the Confederate Army and 700 casualties for the Confederate Army.

The Confederate Army, which had successfully repelled the attack of the Confederate Army, did not take advantage of the situation and immediately contacted General Barker, who was advancing east to meet McClellan.

Although Jackson lost the battle, he won an almost perfect victory strategically, and the impact of this attack on the entire Eastern War was far-reaching and long-lasting.

On the day he received Jackson's raid on the Union Army, Lincoln telegraphed General Barker to return to the Shan'an Road Valley immediately and continue to clear the Southern Army led by Jackson in the Shan'an Road Valley.

At the same time, he also ordered the MacDouglas Corps, which was supposed to move south from Washington, to defend Washington in order to prevent attacks from the Southern Army.

Lincoln's series of orders was caused by Jackson's decisive but failed attack, which led the Union Army to judge that he had at least more than 10,000 men at his disposal.

This would seriously threaten the security of the capital, Washington, which President Abraham Lincoln and members of Congress in Washington would never allow.

So President Lincoln and members of Congress willingly let the two elite federal armies go back to defense, and make Washington's business impregnable.

But it also led to the fact that the three federal armies that were originally encircled by the whole army in Richmond became a lone army with only McClellan.

McClellan said that he was also desperate, and said that everyone would go to Richmond together to be happy, but you all went back to Washington from the heart, what can I do? I'm desperate too.

So he also took it into his heart, and he ordered the whole army to be stationed on the spot and wait for reinforcements. In fact, it is to send a telegram every day to General Buck GKD (hurry up).

As for our Excellency General Buck, his actions in the valley of Sugi'an Road fully demonstrate the speed and strength of a snail.

He asked his Union soldiers to carefully search every tree and bush, and Jackson's attack had given the old fritter a great psychological shock, making him feel that there was a Confederate soldier hidden behind every tree in the valley.

At this time, Jackson took advantage of General Barker's sluggishness to seize the time to rest and replenish, and at the same time sent sappers to survey the valley roads, and he had a big plan.

The vast majority of people in this world have completed their lives according to the track set by God, but there are also many people who stubbornly fight against fate, some of them fail, but there are also people who have succeeded in changing their fate by chance and hard work.

Thomas Jackson was born on January 21, 1824, in western Virginia to a family of Scottish immigrants.

This is yet another hero who rose to prominence due to the Civil War, and like most of the male protagonists of .asxs., he lost his parents at an early age.

Then he grew up on his uncle's farm, attended elementary school for only four years, and was self-taught every day doing farm work, and successfully joined the county security team.

After two years in the security team, he won the favor of local legislators and wrote a letter recommending him to apply for the most famous military school in the United States: West Point.

Although he did not do well in the written examination when he entered the school, he studied by the fire of the fireplace every night, and the last one to do so was Kuang Heng, a great writer of the Western Han Dynasty. (Ahem, although Lao Kuang's late festival is not guaranteed, his attitude of studying hard is still worth learning.) ）

Heaven always favored those who were hardworking and talented, and Jackson ended up being ranked 17th out of 59 graduates of West Point in 1846.

One of his roommates said of him: "No one is more focused than him without being distracted by his surroundings."

Fresh out of West Point, Jackson was just in time for the Mexican War, and he was assigned to artillery, where he fought three bloody battles, earning the Medal of Honor from General Scott for his bravery and fearlessness.

After the war, Jackson's military career hit a low point, and he retired in 1851 to become a faculty member at the Virginia Military Academy.

He was married twice to the daughter of a priest, and although his first wife died in childbirth, both marriages were very happy. (It seems that my childhood idol Brother Pheasant also took the pastor's daughter)

If it weren't for the Civil War, this cold, sickly Virginian and devout Christian, would have spent the rest of his life as a military academy instructor.

Although war causes suffering, war also creates heroes, and some people are born destined to be heroes, and as long as there is war in mankind, such people are destined to become famous.

Some people's success depends on chance, on being in the right place, and on participating in the right war. This was the case with Jackson, a Virginian who was drafted to the northern end of the Shan'an Dao Valley at the beginning of the Civil War, and eventually became famous. This is probably the so-called right time, place and people.

At this time, the sky over Virginia was already full of war clouds, and McClellan led an army of 100,000 to camp step by step, and finally fortified the city, waiting for reinforcements.

But his immediate boss, the President of the United States of America, His Excellency Lincoln, had other plans, and Jackson's last attack had made him a top priority for the security of the capital.

In addition to McClellan's division, the Northern Army had three other units on the Eastern Battlefield, all of which were directly under Lincoln's orders.

They were: McDowell's Corps, which was supposed to attack Richmond from the north to the south, was now placed to hover between Menassas and Fredberg.

Buck's more than 30,000 men were ordered to drive Jackson out of the Shan'an Dao Valley, while General Fremont of West Virginia, west of the Blue Mountains, was in charge of holding the line.

President Lincoln thought that this would ensure the safety of the capital, and at the same time drive the Confederate army out of the valley and eventually encircle Richmond. Unfortunately, this seemingly beautiful plan has a fatal flaw: Stonewall Jackson.

At the same time that President Lincoln was braining, General Lee in the South also had a plan in his mind: he was going to send a reinforcement army to support Jackson, and then Jackson gathered more than 10,000 people to counterattack Buck's old thing, and then threaten Washington, scare McDowell away, and finally join him in Richmond, surround McClellan, and reach the peak of his life.

I have to say that this is really a big brain, but when General Youwell, who was ordered to lead 8,500 men to reinforce Jackson, arrived at Jackson's camp, it was already empty, leaving only a few heralds to convey a brief order to him: take over Jackson's defense line and deal with Buck if necessary.

General Yowell stared at the empty camp in amazement, and kept complaining: Where the hell has this madman gone?
