And elements of the Confederate army of the Mississippi under the over-all command of Lt. Gen John C Pemberton with local command under Brigadier-General John Gregg. Pemberton's planned to hold Grants army along a broad line stretching along Fourteen Mill Creek, to do this, it required him to consolidate all the men he could from the departments under his command into one force. A force that would be able to hold Grants army until additional men could be brought up. Unknown to anyone in the Confederate army, was that the XVII corps, which encompassed McPherson's two divisions, were already within ten miles of the main Confederate body at Raymond. Upon hearing of the arrival of Confederate forces into the town, McPherson was ordered to use his force to drive the Confederates out and capture the town. For this, the 20th Ohio was deployed into a skirmish line with one of it's brigades making its way towards a bridge on the creek. John Gregg, upon hearing of this force , marched to meet what he assumed was merely a raiding party. He concealed his men on a hill overlooking the creek, with the hopes of luring them across the bridge and slaughter them once they were across. This force was soon discovered to be a full brigade, rather then a small party. To counter this, Gregg was going to have two regiments ambush the Union infantry, while two more regiments went around and captured the artillery batteries on the opposing side of the creek, trapping the Union brigade between the two forces. A Union regiment was able to cross the creek quick and got nearly destroyed by Greggs trap. The two Confederate regiments, wild from their easy victory, stormed across the creek and engaged the Union battle line beyond the hills, pushing them back but themselves taking heavy casualties while attacking a second Union line against superior numbers. The two regiments that had crept around to strike the Union from the rear, ended up coming about face to a two Union reserve regiments. The Confederate men that had went across the creek were now in full retreat, with the two regiments holding back the whole federal division. Eventually, McPherson began to extend his right flank beyond the Confederate hilltop. The position having been turned and his routed units reasonably reformed, Gregg ordered a withdrawal through Raymond towards Jackson. Here, the Federal artillery finally made its mark in the battle, pounding the Confederate ranks as Gregg continued the delaying action to allow his battered units to withdraw. As his disorganized force came scrambling over fences and through yards in Raymond, they were met by the 3rd Kentucky Mounted Infantry and 800 cavalry under the command of Wirt Adams, the leading elements of reinforcements headed to Raymond from all over the Confederacy. Help had arrived too late to do anything but provide rear guard protection to Gregg's spent force. The Union casualties come out to 68 killed, 341 wounded, and 37 missing. The Confederate casualties were 100 killed, 305 wounded, and 415 captured. Grant's plan had been to lure Pemberton into splitting his force, allowing the Confederate army to be defeated in part. When news that Pemberton's left wing had retreated to the rail center at Jackson, a location where it was receiving reinforcements from across the Confederacy, led Grant to change his plan of attack. Initially, Jackson had been viewed as one of a few objectives, something that he had planned to delegate to two McPherson's two divisions. This led to the Battle of Jackson on May 14, 1863, which was essentially a rear-guard action. The threat of Confederate reinforcement having been eliminated, Grant turned and defeated Pemberton at the Battle of Champion Hill on May 16, and the Battle of Big Black River Bridge on May 17. Pemberton, his army all but shattered, retreated into Fortress Vicksburg
