132 LIFE OF TURNER ASHBY The roads were still in frightful condition, yet he ventured across the Potomac and moved in the direction of Manassas. Johnston, opposing this great army, had less than 30, 000 men. His po- sition at Manassas was weak, considering the large body attacking him, hence he fell back to the Rapidan River, with the view of drawing Mc- Clellan into the interior and away from his base of supplies. Johnston's change of base disconcerted all McClellan's plans, and the Federal ge...neral began at once to transfer all his troops to the Peninsula by water and to make an attack upon Richmond by that route. He had ordered Banks to occupy the Shenandoah Valley and hold Jack- son, so that Johnston could not be reenforced. When the strength of Jackson's force was ascer- tained McClellan ordered the greater portion of Banks' army to leave the Valley and join his com- mand. Johnston and McClellan were playing the same game. As soon as the army under Banks was defeated, Jackson advanced down the Valley and threatened Shields, who had about 11, 000 men at Winchester.
