At this time, America.
The front line of Longyan City.
Bob, the mapmaker of the French army who was captured by the Longyan Army, found an opportunity and sneaked out.
Because they were imprisoned together, there were several French soldiers who escaped with Bob.
These are the guards that protect Bob.
"Stop, there are Dragon Flame soldiers ahead." Bob hid in the shadows, looking at the Dragon Flame soldiers not far away, without daring to act rashly.
The two soldiers stood at the door, discussing recent events.
"You said they have all gone to fight, and we are the only ones left to look after them. What if the French army attacks?"
The man said: "What can we do?"
"No, the situation you mentioned is impossible to happen, and it doesn't matter how far we are from the main battlefield. If France West can attack, it will definitely attack our supply line. As for attacking in a small place like ours? "
"There's nothing here but those prisoners of war."
"Too……"
"Hey, look at me and squint for a while. I'll change it to yours in an hour."
"good."
Bob, who was hiding aside, felt excited when he heard these contents. Listening to the conversation between the two of them, he realized that there are not many Dragon Flame troops here now.
This is just a prisoner of war camp. In this case, they have a chance to escape.
Bob said to the other French soldiers: "One of the two Longyan soldiers in front fell asleep. Let's go from the right. Most of the Longyan soldiers have gone to fight. Slow down and we can get out."
Everyone nodded and fled from the right side gently.
But what Bob didn't know was that all of this was under the surveillance of Long Yanjun.
It didn't take long for Bob and the French soldiers to escape.
They looked at this strange place in the moonlight and had no idea. This place was far away from Long Yan's position.
But they have never been to Longyan City and don't know where it is.
Bob looked at the northernmost shining star in the sky, pointed to the south and said, "That's where we come from from the north. Let's go from that way."
The French soldiers looked at each other and decided to trust Bob.
He is a mapmaker. Although he doesn't know where this place is now, Bob's knowledge can help them determine the direction.
…
On the other side, Qin Changfeng's command room.
The Long Yan soldiers who had fallen asleep before came in and reported: "Report to the general, those French people have escaped."
Qin Changfeng nodded and said, "Tell them not to patrol the mountain and let those French people escape."
"Yes." The soldier gave a military salute and turned to leave.
Qin Changfeng picked up the teacup and looked into the darkness in the distance, as if his eyes could see the French soldiers through the darkness.
Three days passed like this.
Bob finally led these French soldiers back to the French position.
By this time Kentell had received information from Richard.
Although the authenticity of the defense map has been decided.
But Kentel had no way to prepare for battle. The terrain map Kentel received was really vague.
Much of the information is inaccurate.
However, without a complete and accurate topographic map, the defense map has no reference value.
The defense map will not give you terrain information.
"Report to the general, the map-drawing team we dispersed has returned, but it seems that they were attacked for some reason, and the captain did not come back."
Kentell turned to look at the soldier and asked, "Has the draftsman returned safely?"
The soldier nodded: "Bob the draftsman returned safely."
"Great, let him come to see me immediately."
Kentell said nothing about the sacrificed French soldiers, but couldn't wait to see the draftsman. The soldier was slightly stunned and replied: "Yes."
Soon, Crater met Bob.
"See General."
Kentel waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."
He walked over, frowned when he saw Bob's empty hands, and asked, "Where's the map?"
Bob said in great panic: "We were attacked by the Dragon Flame Army and the map we drew was lost. I also managed to escape from the Dragon Flame Army with great difficulty."
Kentell took a deep breath: "Without a map, what's the use of coming back!"
Bob was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy: "General, please calm down. Although I did not bring back a map, I have surveyed and understood the general terrain of Longyan City. I will be able to draw a topographic map around Longyan City in the next few days." .”
After hearing this, Kentell suppressed his anger and said, "How long do I have to wait for you?"
Bob hesitated and raised three fingers: "Three days..."
He looked up and saw that the expression on Kentel's face immediately fell. He lowered his head and said hurriedly: "It is very troublesome to draw detailed maps. If there is a sketch of the Dragon Flame terrain, I can complete these details in one day."
Kentell did not continue to get angry, he thought of the map of Dragon Flame City that Richard gave him, now that Bob had memorized the outline of the Dragon Flame topographic map.
If he was asked to add details to this topographic map, wouldn't the time be greatly reduced?
"Okay, you said you have memorized the general terrain of Longyan City, then see if this map can be used."
Kentell dropped the map to the ground.
Bob picked it up and looked at it, his face changed greatly: "General, where did you find this map?"
"This is the topographic map around Long Yan, but it is not so detailed. If you have this map, give me a day, no, half a day, and I will complete the details."
Kentel raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this map was also real.
Kentell said, in that case, use this map to draw a detailed topographic map for me in the shortest possible time.
"That's right, I'll make up for my mistakes."
Bob knocked his head on the ground and said in fear: "I promise to complete the mission."
Kentell nodded and waved, and Bob left immediately.
After Bob left, Kentell looked at the entire map of America, his eyes darkening.
France's advantage in America was reversed, and British troops had captured Fort Carillon.
Their advantage is expanding, if the British troops and the Dragon Flame troops unite at this time.
In such a long front laid out in western France, their materials and supplies will not be supplied, and this battle will definitely be lost.
After Kentell received the two maps from Richard, he knew the order Richard had given him.
We must end the battle with Long Yan as soon as possible.
Otherwise, France is likely to be torn apart.
One day passed.
Kentell saw Bob's completed topographical map.
With the terrain map and the defense map, they would be able to know where Long Yan's army had set up an ambush.
With this information, the next battle will become very simple.
A smile appeared on Kentel's lips.
Looking at these two maps, they were sure that the dawn of victory was right in front of them.
The myth of Long Yanjun's invincibility will also be broken.
"Convene the generals, start a combat meeting, and prepare to attack Longyan City!"
