You saved your army and won a glorious victory by refusing to take his advice.
We fixed bayonets, and as I gave the order the boys cheered and cheered, swinging their hats in every direction.
We soon discovered the rebels fleeing over the hills and down the White River Road, and being nearest to that road I immediately started my Brigade after them.
What we need are troops, supplies for them, and a vigorous campaign against these hostile Indians.
