1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 119 Sneak Attack! (Four more!)
The fishermen in San Francisco cast nets into the sea like fish from the sea to catch the American soldiers who fell into the water.

The American soldiers didn't care about their dignity at this time, wishing they could get into the fishing nets themselves so that the fishermen could pull them into the boat.

In addition to the 28 American soldiers who were killed on the spot and drowned after falling into the water, 31 American soldiers who were still able to thump became prisoners of Liang Yao.

It is a pity that Lieutenant Colonel Big Yu Lange has been shot, and the highest rank among these prisoners is only a lieutenant.

Captain Sherman, whom Liang Yao was most interested in, was not among the prisoners.

More than half of the casualties were captured. It can be said that an infantry company of Colonel Mason has been abolished.

The victory in the first battle caused the whole city of San Francisco to erupt, and people took to the streets to tell each other and celebrate the victory.

Liang Yao ordered the captives to be paraded through the streets before being put in prison.

The anger of the people of San Francisco was the best form of torture for these captives, whom he believed would be shattered after being paraded through the streets.

Liang Yao judged that Mason would find a way to land elsewhere if he failed to land in the port of San Francisco.

The ships of Colonel Mason's troops were all small boats, and it was not difficult to find a suitable landing place.

Liang Yao also couldn't fortify everywhere along the long California coastline, and he was about to prepare for land warfare next.

And land warfare is exactly what Colonel Mason is good at.

There were not many cavalry under Liang Yao's command. He summoned Sergeant Fleger and Deputy Sergeant Cai Mingsheng and asked them to send mounted policemen to monitor every move of Colonel Mason's troops, and to report as soon as they learned where they landed.

As expected by Liang Yao, Mason and his troops landed on a beach twenty miles south of San Francisco port.

After setting foot on land, Colonel Mason finally found a sense of security.

Not long after Mason took his seat, the sentry who had been released found clear horseshoe prints on the beach not far away and informed Mason of the news.

"Your Excellency Colonel, there are scouts from the other side, and our camp has been exposed."

"Pay attention to vigilance, each company will take turns to watch for two hours tonight."

The exhausted Mason gave the order, and the accompanying black servant handed Mason the brewed coffee.

Although Mason and his subordinates were already very tired, he did not dare to relax his vigilance at this time.

Mason didn't drink coffee, but just kept warming the hot coffee cup with his hands.

Since entering the army, Mason's military career has been smooth, so smooth that he is a little carried away.

Whether the enemies Mason faced before were Indians or Mexicans, the army he commanded was invincible and invincible, and he never tasted the taste of failure.

Mason did not experience the second "independence" war experienced by his parents, and did not witness the shameful scene of the Canadian army entering Washington and burning the White House.

Facing today's loss, he was a bit unacceptable.

The elite infantry regiment of the American Army actually lost to a newly established California infantry regiment?
If this matter got to the ears of his colleagues, he, Mason, would probably become a laughing stock.

Forgive me, he was the one who laughed at others in the past. I didn't expect that Mason would become a laughing stock one day.

Mason couldn't help laughing at himself.

The gunners on the Jinshan Bay coastal defense fort were very accurate, and their artillery skills were no worse than those of the artillery regiment.

Mason suspected that Liang Yao had a professional artillery unit.

Thinking of this, Mason became even more worried.

It was a long way from the US-Mexico border to San Francisco, and he marched on foot all the way, carrying only light equipment with the army.

Although he had an artillery battery, he did not take the slow-moving battery with him on this operation.

"Elvis, it's time for you to avenge your shame. Colonel Mason and his troops have gone ashore and set up camp. I will now give you the best soldiers and weapons. I hope you will not let me down."

Liang Yao called his Major Elvis to him.

After learning that Colonel Mason had landed and set up camp, Liang Yao decided to sneak attack on their camp at night when the other party was exhausted.

Liang Yao would never choose to confront Colonel Mason when he could take advantage of the danger and solve it by sneak attack.

As for the so-called gentlemanly demeanor.

Go fuck the gentleman!
If the Congress and the Eastern Consortium talk to him about gentlemanly demeanor and reason, they will not choose to violate the constitution and take back California's Mexican government land grant!
"Thank you Colonel for your trust! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Elvis stood in a tall and straight military posture, habitually turned his palms outwards, and saluted Liang Yao in a British military salute.

Elvis had lost to Colonel Mason and Captain Sherman during the Mexican-American War. No, Sherman was still a lieutenant at that time.

This matter has always worried Elvis. As a former officer of the British Army, he would not feel ashamed to lose to the French and Prussians.

But losing to the Yankee whom he had always looked down upon, he felt that he had been greatly insulted.

Elvis had been looking for the reason for the failure before. He blamed the failure on the Mexican army that could not be supported by the mud, but he also looked for the reason on himself, and even questioned his command ability.

Now he finally has a chance to prove himself again.

"I will definitely take Colonel Mason and Captain Sherman as prisoners and send them to you."

Before leaving, Elvis assured Liang Yao.

"Go, I'm waiting for your good news."

Liang Yao nodded and said.

In the open space outside Tingtao Garden, Deng Yan had assembled the army. In addition to the [-] regular troops of the California Infantry, there were also [-] private armed forces provided by local gold mining companies and farmers.

Flage also took part in this military operation with more than [-] mounted policemen to make up for the shortage of cavalry.

An armed force of more than [-] people is a terrifying military force in any state in the United States.

More than [-] people attacked Colonel Mason's regiment less than half, Liang Yao was still very confident.

The gold thrown into the army cannot be thrown in vain, nor can the bullets fed to these big-headed soldiers be in vain.

It was already late at night when Elvis and Deng Yan reached Colonel Mason's headquarters.

Although Elvis and Deng Yan had been very careful along the way, the movement of more than a thousand people marching still failed to escape the eyes and ears of the guards on duty.

Sherman's [-]st company, who was in charge of guarding the security mission, responded very quickly, and immediately organized the [-]st company to line up to counterattack on the spot!
Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins. Seeing that he has been discovered, Elvis immediately ordered to shoot back.

The powerful firepower of more than a thousand rifle salvos quickly suppressed the firepower of Sherman's company.

Sherman's shooting in one company is just scratching the surface for a team of more than a thousand people.

But the salvo of more than a thousand rifles from Elvis and Deng Yan instantly broke the morale of Sherman's company.

The soldiers of Sherman's company fell down like wheat harvested in autumn.

In just one round of shooting, more than half of Sherman's company had suffered casualties!

"Withdraw! Withdraw to the camp!"

Sherman took a breath and hurriedly ordered to withdraw to the camp.

Due to the cover of night, Sherman only discovered the enemy's sneak attack at the first time.

As for how many enemy troops came to attack, Sherman didn't know how many, so he dared to line up to fight back.

After the opponent opened fire, Sherman judged the number of incoming enemy troops!

There are more than a thousand people on the other side!More than one regiment of troops!
Using his mere company to block the attack of more than one regiment of the opponent's troops is undoubtedly a mantis' arm!
