The shelling was so sudden. The shelling was shot for more than half a month, and the unresponsiveness of the last half a month had already made the US military lose the necessary vigilance. In their concept, although the Chinese had guns, they only dared to hide in positions and did not dare to shoot them, because once they came out, they would face the fierce shelling of their federal army. As for the reason, of course, the Chinese had no artillery... A group of bandits and a group of local buns snatched the gun from the whites, but how could they have artillery? Even when she passed by with Sherman before

After careful discussion, Grant, who had to be careful, thought so. In the heart of this former No. 1 North, he should be careful about street fighting with the Chinese, but not field fighting. The facts have proved this. In a few months, the Chinese have turned Seattle into a huge fortress, almost everywhere, and a few small streets have made him stuff the lives of a thousand people in one go. Therefore, what he has to care about is how to defeat the Chinese hiding in the city, and not the army with 40,000 people backed and be careful that the Chinese rush out.

But now the cannon is here.

The sudden huge roar in Seattle proves that the Chinese not only have guns, but also the gun is not small.

"Armstrong, this is Armstrong's twenty-pound cannon. What's going on? How could this happen? How could the Chinese have this..."[]

Grant was resting, but was awakened by the sudden sound of cannons. The former president, who had been through the battlefield, immediately understood what was going on. Moreover, he had always been in love with artillery fire coverage and even heard what kind of cannon sounds that broke out in Seattle... Britain, Armstrong's 20-pound field cannon, with a caliber of 95 mm, is definitely a killer in field battles.

"Order the artillery to fight back, and fight back immediately!"

Grant knew he had fallen into a trap. The Chinese were tolerant. Faced with the firepower of hundreds of artillery guns every ten hours a day, the Chinese knew that they could not fight against each other, so they chose to endure. They had to endure for more than half a month. After the US military completely relaxed their vigilance, they immediately launched a counterattack... Grant did not dare to withdraw. The artillery was bulky, and the Chinese poured the artillery fire to the artillery positions left on the mountains on both sides. If he chose to retreat, then the Chinese artillery fire would definitely extend immediately. The range of the 95mm caliber field gun was enough to allow his artillery to retreat to safety.

He brought all of them to destroy them before. Therefore, he had to fight back and fight back immediately, and use the skillful operational ability of the army artillery to fight against the Chinese sudden attacks. However, Grant did not put a phone in his command center, and there was no telephone line in his camp. Moreover, it was early morning and it was dark in the sky. The artillery had not recovered after being attacked, so how could he have any kung fu to fight back?... And most importantly, because he despised the Chinese workers in Seattle, he believed that the other party could not pose any threat to him. Therefore, in order to save trouble, the artillery soldiers concentrated a large number of shells on the position to store them!

This is an absolutely fatal mistake, and for this mistake, the artillery soldiers had to pay a heavy price.

Shortly after the Chinese launched the shelling, less than two minutes, a loud "boom" sound broke out, and the entire city of Seattle and within miles around felt the earth trembling violently!

Under the sudden artillery attack of the Chinese workers, the ammunition from the artillery positions on both sides was detonated and a chain reaction occurred instantly... In just a few minutes, the artillery positions that poured tens of thousands of shells into the Chinese workers' positions in the past half month turned into a sea of ​​fire. At the same time, the artillery under Grant's command was almost wiped out.

...

"Lower the muzzle, target, US military positions..."

The US military positions were already in chaos. But Seattle was orderly. In the city center, there was a row of bars and shops, but the surrounding buildings had been built with a strong reinforced concrete. Jian Wang was calmly directing a group of people to open fire in the direction of the enemy... He had been waiting for this day for half a month, or even a few months, almost half a year. Since Guo Jinzhang bought the thirteen cannons at a sky-high price from British Consul Aslan, he has been in charge of these killers. He had only moved once when he went to Sacramento to start a war with Tom Hannis. Unfortunately, Tom Hannis was too unstoppable and was ravaged by a group of cattle and horses, and he lost his temper. The thirteen cannons he got were tried.

There was no chance. However, even though he was disappointed, Jian Wang was ecstatic. Because he got the three cannons brought by Tom Hannis, which was not counting. Why did Tom Hannis decide that they would be defeated later? Because after the attack failed, this guy immediately asked the garrisons and governments in California, Oregon and other places, including the navy... Although the other party could not provide him much help, he was not concerned about the arms, so he actually got more than a dozen cannons of all sizes. But unfortunately, as soon as these cannons were transported, he was defeated... So, as soon as these cannons were transported, they were intercepted by Jian Wang, becoming the spoils of Chinese workers, and one of Guo Jinzhang's last trump cards.

"You guys did a great job this time, and everyone has a bonus."

After holding it in for so long, I finally got to have a good time. Moreover, this real market seems to be quite small... Through the telescope, I saw the fire coming out of two hills in the distance, and the loud noise, coupled with the constant trembling underground, Jian Wang felt as if he had taken a big sip of cold water, and his whole body was so refreshed. Although his face was still calm, his tone could not hide his excitement.

"Jane, you'd better not be happy too early. You're facing the whole of America..." The artilleryman who was operating an Armstrong 20-pound field gun turned his head and poured cold water on Jane Wang without hesitation. His fair skin and dark brown hair further exposed his white identity.

"Continue firing. Your mission today is to use these cannons to beat the Americans to cry and cry. If the shells are not finished, no one of you is allowed to stop." Jian Wang shouted.

"boom--"

A shell suddenly exploded not far from the position.

"The Americans are fighting back. Damn, they still have artillery!" The white ghost just now screamed and immediately turned around to adjust the cannon.

"Dingling..." The phone rang quickly, and Jian Wang immediately stepped forward to pick up the microphone, but Li Asheng's roar came from the opposite side: "Jian Wang, are you eating your brain by a pig? They have an artillery battalion on the side of the city, why are they just trying to hit the back? Ah--"

"What--" Jian Wang was shocked, and then he remembered the notice he had just received this afternoon. He didn't care that there was someone on the other end of the phone and turned around and ordered the artillery, "Everyone, adjust the shooting of the world, aim at the artillery battalion where the Americans were on the edge of the city, and bombard me!"

"What are you talking nonsense?" Another white man suddenly jumped over, "The enemy's artillery did not fight back too much, which means that their artillery battalion was not put into use, and even if there were, there were very few..."

"I don't care, fire the fire immediately, fire the fire..." Jian Wang shouted anxiously: "You all listen to me. After the shelling, it will be a counterattack. If my brothers have any losses due to the artillery battalion, I will attack you!"

"I'm just an employee, not your subordinate..." the white man shouted.

"I don't care. Fire the fire right away!" Jian Wang roared angrily.

"This is what you said..."

"Kill--"

As soon as the white man finished speaking, the shouts of killing sounded and came from a distance from the edge of the city. The white man who had originally planned to fire the artillery immediately stopped and immediately ordered to the other artillery soldiers:

"Architecture continues to extend to the rear of the US military's positions to clear obstacles for the infantry!"

"What did you say?" Jian Wang was angry again and was about to stop him, but a sound suddenly came from the microphone, "A Wang, A Wang..."

"Who?" Jian Wang roared, "I'll have something to do here later..."

"Why are you yelling? I, Guo Jinzhang!" The voice on the opposite side was also very loud, "What's your name? Why did you stop the cannon? Isn't there a lot of shells? I'll shoot for me. If I can shoot more, I will shoot more. Without my order, I will not stop the cannon..."

"What?" Jian Wang seemed to have a basin of cold water poured on someone's head, "Isn't it a cannon camp?"

"What artillery battalion? We have taken it down. The guns are hit back. The target is about three miles outside the city, and the Americans are crowded. You can beat me so hard!" The voice on the opposite side changed again, and it was Li Asheng, who had just called Jian Wang to bombard the artillery battalion.

"This..." Jian Wang was stunned again, and was about to ask again, but the other person hung up the phone with a "snap".

"What's wrong? There's a problem..." The white man who just opposed firing artillery and artillery looked over again.

"The artillery fire extends, three miles outside the city!" Jian Wang replied angrily.

"Haha, I'll just say..." The white man rolled his eyes and turned his head to adjust the muzzle. But while adjusting, he still did not forget to educate Jian Wang: "No experience means no experience. They thought you didn't have artillery, and that artillery battalion was just placed there to scare people. So close, do you think they are using front-mounted?"

"You..." Jian Wang was a little angry. There were not many old men from Colorado who looked down on white people. For nothing else, just for the past experiences, he dared to face those white people arrogantly. But he didn't expect that he was despised by an hired gunner today. Well, this guy is not an American, but a British man invited from Guo Jinzhang for a high price from the "White Star". It is said that he was a retired gunner of the British mainland country, but aren't they all white? The British were driven out of this land by the United States, and they dared to go to war with the Americans, so naturally there was no reason to care about the British. But unexpectedly, they were repeatedly asked for trouble by the other party...

"We have to fight, not when we get angry. Jin Zhang said that to become a great man, we must be able to control our temper first. Zhao Dachang just can't control himself, so we are just a material to charge and can't learn from him." Jian Wang suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the white man just now, and said, "The commander said that after this battle, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you will get a huge bonus. Win, you will each have 100,000 yuan, and each will lose, 50,000 yuan...all of them are US dollars."

“Wow…”

The huge bonus made several white men scream, and their gunners became faster and faster. However, they were so happy that more Chinese gunners next to them were a little unhappy. The gunners are battlefield killing weapons, so in order to ensure that they can be fully commanded, under Guo Jinzhang's arrangement, these gunners were all authentic Colorado-born, and most of them came from Denver. Therefore, they were not as awe-inspiring as those Chinese in San Francisco, and they would not hide their emotions.

"Awang, Jin Zhangzhen said that each person would give them 100,000?"

"I said...why are you doing? Fire! You're one minute later, do you know how much deaths ahead?"

"I know...that, Jin Zhang didn't say how much to all of us?"

"What a big deal! Let's go to Alaska to dig gold when winning this battle. Who cares about that little paper?"

"Yes, I forgot that we still haven't dug a gold mine."

"I don't know whether what Jin Zhang said is true or false."

"What's the matter? Did Jin Zhang deceive everyone?"

"What are you doing? Fire, fire, delay the attack, and dig gold? Then there is no need for gold. Everyone will chop your head first..."

...

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Victory seemed to be in sight, and everyone's tense mood finally relieved a little, and some small incidents even occurred in the artillery positions. However, other Chinese workers were not in the mood. They were chasing and chasing carefully... After the artillery positions on both sides were flattened, Grant immediately knew that he was in big trouble and ordered a retreat urgently. However, the famous generals were famous generals after all. Although after the artillery attack, Guo Jinzhang immediately ordered the Chinese workers to rush out of Seattle to attack them. But Grant was not in a panic. He urgently drew a regular army as a defender to block the Chinese attack, and then led the rest of the troops to retreat, hoping not to get into a stalemate with the Chinese, and retreat a little to find an opportunity to reorganize the troops. He believed that just giving himself a little time would be enough for him to stabilize his position and then launch a counterattack. However, he obviously forgot his previous study of the Chinese fighting style with Sherman.

Faced with the defenders he urgently arranged, Guo Jinzhang and others did not order the Chinese workers to rush hard, but used thousands of ejectors... Well, this thing was customized in San Francisco, specifically used to throw wine bottles. The first appearance was on Tom Hannis' head, and now, Guo Jinzhang and others used it on Grant's head. As the saying goes, no matter how high the martial arts skills are, they are afraid of kitchen knives; no matter how good they are behind them, they will knock them down with one brick! Grant is like a martial arts master with unknown circumstances, meeting Guo Jinzhang and his group.

The gang members who do not follow the rules and do not understand routines will only disrupt fists and use their vaginas... In a few minutes, nearly 10,000 bottles of fine wine and kerosene hit the heads of the blocking troops. This is similar to the result of the first appearance of napalm bombs on the battlefield. Although alcohol and kerosene cannot completely burn the air around them, they will suffocate to death, but in the face of the raging fires on their bodies or around them, the Chinese bombardment will quickly collapse! As a result, Guo Jinzhang and others immediately led their team to chase Grant.

Grant had to continue to retreat and threw down a unit again. However, not long after, the rear-end force was defeated by the Chinese shelling and the doubles of alcohol and kerosene. Grant had just stopped and had not yet had time to reorganize the army, so he had to retreat again. Of course, this time he left the rear-end force again, but in the same way, the rear-end force failed to hold on for too long...

Chase and escape.

Finally, when it was almost dawn, Grant finally stabilized his position. At this time, he was already thirty miles from Seattle.

"I've said he can't do it, he can't do it, but Hayes insists on insisting...we should replace him immediately."

Grant was defeated. For more than half a month, this guy kept bombarding the Chinese positions with cannons, and almost no soldiers and soldiers occupied the opponent's two lines of defense. It is said that these two lines of defense were extremely strong reinforced concrete structures, and there were even a large number of rails in it. Not to mention bullets, even direct shells could not be penetrated. However, such a solid position was finally taken down by Grant. Seeing that victory was in sight, the Chinese thugs who had troubled the US government for nearly a year were about to get the outcome they deserved, but Grant suddenly lost.

"Grant did not fail. He was just a temporary defeat." Sherman's face was very dark, scary, "But I don't understand, how could the Chinese have so many artillery? There are also cannons suspected to be 96mm caliber Armstrong field guns... There are not many such artillery manufacturing in the UK, even in the UK. How could the Chinese have it?"

"We are talking about Grant, my general!" Brian slapped his hand hard on the president's desk, as if reminding Sherman.

"Grant has not failed. He still has more than 30,000 people. Even if he was raided by the Chinese, the army suffered only a little more than 3,000 casualties... This fully demonstrates his excellent command ability. If it were someone else, in that case, facing the destruction of artillery and the enemy had a large amount of artillery fire support, he had already been chased to San Francisco by the Chinese." Sherman shouted. The president's term changed, and the cabinet also changed. However, he, the commander-in-chief of the Federal Army, remained unmoved. Because he was not the same system as the government, although Brian was of high power and influence was still above President Garfield, he still had no choice.

"But he was defeated after all. He was chased by the Chinese overnight for thirty miles and lost a large amount of supplies, but he threw it to the Chinese in vain... Do you know what this means? It means that the Chinese can continue to fight against us with those things. They started rioting in the second half of 1880. Even if we get these things, we may not be able to do anything to them even in the second half of next year." Brian shouted.

"Gentlemen, can you stop arguing like this?" The new president Garfield smiled bitterly. His president was similar to his predecessor Hayes when he was elected. Hayes was the product of a compromise between the two parties. He was introduced by Brian to cheat Grant. There were only one or two supporters in the Republican Party, so there was no prestige at all. But he did not have the strengths of Hayes who did everything to do for his goal. Therefore, Brian, the secretary of state, had no choice but to make a master in his presidential office. But he also knew that the riots in the Chinese people must be quelled soon, otherwise, he would not be able to take it as a president at all.

"I just want to know now, can we calm the riots of the Chinese?"

"This is not a doubt at all, but I hope to replace the commander of the army." Brian said.

"I object. No one in the American army is more capable and qualified to command such an army than Grant." Sherman also said.

"Robert, where are you?" The cabinet was replaced, and the Minister of War naturally also changed. Alexander Ramsey appointed by Hays became Robert Todd Lincoln appointed by Garfield!

"Mr. President, I think Grant should be replaced!" Garfield came from Bryant, so his cabinet was naturally mostly members of Bryant's faction, Robert Todd Lincoln chose to support his boss without hesitation.

"Since that's the case, General Sherman, look..." Garfield looked at Sherman, his eyes clearly expressed.

"You will regret it!" Sherman replied coldly and shook his hand away.
Chapter completed!
