Green finally arrived at the previously agreed upon location.

After he obtained the supplies, in order not to let the French detect their team, Green decided to change the route back and avoid the previous jungle area.

A group of French soldiers had already died there, and they would most likely be captured by the French if they returned from there.

After changing the route, Green had to continue moving deeper into the jungle.

But it still follows the route of the St. Laurent River.

The St. Laurent River is wide and turbulent. Crossing it can reduce Green's huge distance, but both sides of the river have long been occupied by French troops.

They prepared to reestablish supply lines to the St. Laurent River.

Up to now, the troops on both sides are still fighting against the British troops above.

Green led the troops and marched through the jungle. The densely wooded jungle greatly hindered the troops' progress.

Under such circumstances, Green had to extend the march time to ensure that these supplies could reach the front line quickly.



At this time, Clancy also sent two other British troops to try to encircle and suppress the Quebec area.

A force set out from here on a piece of wasteland called New York that they exchanged with the Dutch.

Advancing northward via the Hudson River, the journey along the way can be said to be very easy, with almost no resistance.

The other route is to advance from the west, circuitous along Lake Erie, and prepare to outflank the fortress near Quebec.

Most of the French troops had already gathered their forces in Quebec, the northern capital of their French colony.

As the main force, General Astimo's team went all the way up from the St. Laurent River.

Green's supply team encountered no danger on the way back.

This was a good thing for the British troops.

After quickly returning to their ranks, General Astimo's troops immediately marched forward to attack Quebec.

Now several important fortresses guarding Quebec have long been captured by the British troops, opening the door for the French troops.

The supply line at sea has not yet been established, and all they can rely on are the extremely limited weapons and equipment provided by Longyan and their Indian alliance forces.

Quebec is one of their most important regions in French Canada.

This is an important gateway to Canada in the north and a good port on the Atlantic Ocean. For France, the value here is very high.

So absolutely no mistakes will be allowed here.

But now the troops they can deploy are pitifully small.

Not even ten thousand people.

At this time, the British troops, led by General Astimo, were divided into two armies, sea and land, and headed towards Quebec.

The navy has forty battleships and more than a hundred various ships. Such a fleet has almost wiped out all the wealth in Britain.

Originally, Britain only needed to dispatch one Dreadnought-class battleship, and did not need so many old battleships.

But now, Britain has no choice but to dispatch more old battleships to ensure that there will be no problems with its combat power.

The navy was commanded by General Charles.

The troops formed by the Army were commanded by Green, and his military rank jumped from captain to major general!

This is an exceptional improvement for him!

At this time, the number of French troops who had been cut off from their supply lines was pitifully small.

There are only 3,600 regular troops and an army of 1,800 formed by Indians, and the number of supply troops is only a meager 5,400!

But they want to defend the most important core area of ​​the French colonial area, Quebec!

If Quebec falls, New Zealand, founded by France, will cease to exist!

The French commander, Vaudreuil, had long been aware of the dispatch of the British troops during this period, and it was very likely that he wanted to use troops against them.

The final decisive battle is coming, because when the British navy cuts off the supply line, it also cuts off their communication routes. They have no way to ask for help from the French mainland.

The current French colonial area cannot spare troops for support.

He could only urgently organize and train more than 10,000 militia troops to assist in the battle, but Vaudreuil knew very well that these militiamen had only undergone brief training and did not have very strong combat effectiveness.

But even so, Vaudreuil was confident in his troops.

He will fight the British troops in a last-ditch battle!

He built four walls in Quebec City to protect Quebec City. He left only a weak defense force in Quebec City under the walls, and deployed the main force in fortifications along the St. Laurent River.

Compared to the British Army, Vaudreuil was even more afraid of the British Navy!

The Dreadnought-class battleships destroyed their supply lines with ease.

Although the Dreadnought-class battleship has been destroyed by them, this does not mean that the British forces do not have other battleships.

He felt that this was still not reassuring enough, so he scuttled the dilapidated merchant ship and blocked the entire river.

On the St. Laurent River, the French army and the British army have already begun a long tug-of-war.

No one wants to give up here.

Under the command of General Vaudreuil, when the French troops occupied favorable terrain, there was even a situation where they retreated from the attack areas of the stronger British troops.

Drag the British troops until now!

But Green had an unexpected discovery on his way back. He discovered a cliff only fifty meters high on the south bank of the upper reaches of the St. Laurent River, west of Quebec.

The Flen Bay at its feet is ideal for docking small boats, allowing troops to land at this location.

And large-scale landings are entirely possible!

Such a breakthrough discovery directly changed the direction of the war.

This is the blind spot of the French army, which is not equipped with heavy troops. If you march at night, you will hardly find it by climbing from this cliff.

From here, they can quickly enter the Plains of Abraham above and attack Quebec City directly!

After learning of such terrain, General Astimo made a prompt decision and immediately organized the march of the British troops.

He ordered the navy led by Charles to launch a large-scale attack along the St. Laurent River, creating the illusion that they were about to attack the St. Laurent River.

At this time, Green led his troops to use small boats to land on a large scale in Flen Bay.

He was very lucky. When he landed at night, he was not discovered by the nearby French army.

On this day, your French army is struggling to cope with the attack of Charles' troops.

Both sides were equipped with weapons from the Long Yan Army. With the same weapons, there was almost no difference between the two armies.

Of course, the main reason for this is that Charles did not want to waste so many troops on feint attacks, so he retained his strength.

Vaudreuil's attention was drawn to the battle on the St. Laurent River, and he did not realize that the real danger had arrived.
