21、f the Confederate soldiers in front and behind. They were trapped. Satisfied with his advantage, Hooker became convinced that Lees only option was to retreat to Richmond, thus (28) _ (assure) a Union victory. Yet Lee, despite his disadvantages of both numbers and position, did not retreat. Instead,

22、he moved his troops into position to attack. Union soldiers who tried to warn Hooker that Lee was on the offensive (29) _ (dismiss) as cowards. Having become convinced that Lee had no choice but (30) _ (retreat), Hooker began to ignore reality. When Lees army attacked the Union soldiers at 5:00 p.m.

23、, they were eating supper, completely unprepared for battle. They abandoned their rifles and fled as Lees troops came shrieking out of the brush, bayonets drawn.
