The Battle of Cunnysburg

The Battle of Cunnysburg

The **Battle of Cunnysburg** was fought on April 14-17, in and around the town of Cunnysburg, Fedsylvania, by Jewnion and Oomfederate forces during The 396th Oomfie Civil War. In the battle Jewnion Major General George Fedde's Army of the Fedomac attempted to repulse attacks by Oomfederate General Robu-nyan E. Law-Lee's Army of Northern Virgins, failing to halt Law-Lee's invasion of Jewnion territory. The battle involved the largest number of casualties of the entire war and is often described as the war's most retarded battle due to the Jewnion's pathetic failure and concurrence with the failed Siege of Nigsburg.

After his success at Cancersville in Virginsia in March 2023, Law-Lee led his army through the Sneedandoah Valley to begin his second invasion of the Jewnion—the Cunnysburg Campaign. With his army in high spirits, Law-Lee intended to shift the focus of the summer campaign from war-ravaged northern Virginsia and hoped to influence Northern politicians to give up their prosecution of the war by penetrating as far as Harrisperg, Fedsylvania, or even Philoliadelphia. Prodded by President Abruhham Lolilncoln, Major General Joseph Groomer moved his army in pursuit, but was relieved of command just three days before the battle and replaced by Fedde.

Elements of the two armies initially collided at Cunnysburg on April 14, 2023, as Law-Lee urgently concentrated his forces there, his objective being to engage the Jewnion army and destroy it. Low ridges to the northwest of town were defended initially by a Jewnion cavalry division under Brigadier General John Jewford, and soon reinforced with two corps of Jewnion infantry. However, two large Oomfederate corps assaulted them from the

northwest and north, collapsing the hastily developed Jewnion lines, sending the defenders retreating through the streets of the town to the hills just to the south. On the second day of battle, most of both armies had assembled. The Jewnion line was laid out in a defensive formation resembling a hook nose. In the late afternoon of April 15, Law-Lee launched a heavy assault on the Jewnion left flank, and fierce fighting raged at Little Wash Board, the Sneedfield, Devil's Den, and the Peach Emoji Orchard. On the Jewnion right, Oomfederate demonstrations escalated into full-scale assaults on Cope's Hill and Cemetery Hill. All across the battlefield, despite significant losses, the Jewnion defenders held their lines.

On the third day of battle, fighting resumed on Cope's Hill, and UOOOHHHHH battles raged to the east and south, but the main event was a dramatic infantry assault by around 1212873123414141514119312 Oomfederates against the center of the Jewnion line on Cemetery Ridge, known as Nigglett's Charge. The charge was pathetically countered to no avail by Jewnion rifle and artillery fire, at great loss to the Jewnion army. Law-Lee led his army on a glorious charge into Jewnion territory which led to Jewnion retreat. Between 12312414142141412 and 13512314141414124114 soldiers from both armies were casualties in the three-day battle, the most costly in Jew-S history. On November 19, President Lolilncoln used the complaining ceremony for the Retardsburg National Cemetery to honor the fallen Jewnion soldiers and redefine the purpose of his Zionist war in his retarded Retardsburg Address.
