Stare at the British troops who are slaughtering them crazily!
They just want to be free, what's wrong with that?
We were all once Europeans, we were all immigrants from Britain, and we all contributed to the construction of Britain.
Why do they have to be treated like this? Why do they have to suffer such things after coming to the colony!
At this moment, George felt extremely angry, the anger was burning in his heart, and his blood was boiling!
He is now extremely determined to fight for the independence of the colonial area, which is the goal he will fight for in his life!
Even if it means sacrificing his dignity and his life, it is something he will not hesitate to do!
George gritted his teeth, and his order was almost squeezed out from between his teeth: "Attack, even if we are going to die, we have to let those Britons know the pain!"
"Attack their artillery and destroy it for me!"
The artilleryman beside George shouted: "Yes!"
Aim and shoot!
These actions were completed in one go, but after the shells landed with a bang, they did not hit the hunting artillery troops.
This distance is too far, a full 200 meters. The effective range of their artillery attack is indeed 200 meters.
But the farther away this attack is, the harder it is to hit.
A distance of two hundred meters is a situation where it is possible to hit, but it is difficult for the public!
However, the artilleryman was not discouraged, but continued to fill the shells, re-aimed, and fired again!
At this time, George looked at the British troops rushing up the high ground.
He led the troops to charge first!
It was to defeat these British troops.
The sound of muskets was everywhere, and they attacked desperately.
If the barrel gets hot, use urine to cool it.
If you run out of bullets, kill the enemy with a bayonet!
Although most of their 10,000 troops are militiamen, they have only experienced one or two bandit suppression battles and have undergone several months of training.
Other than that, there isn't much that stands out.
But it was this kind of troops that burst out with amazing fighting will and tenacious courage at this moment.
No soldier flinched when facing an enemy force several times their size!
No one is not fighting.
General William hid in a distant place and watched the changes in the battlefield through his telescope.
His brows were furrowed. This battle had lasted for nearly an hour.
With more troops and better armaments, they actually failed to win the battle at this time.
On the contrary, there was a stalemate in the current battle situation, and their troops did not move forward to promote the victory.
And at this moment, there was a bang!
General William looked over anxiously, and the scene in his eyes almost made him angry to death!
A shell from the rebel army hit their artillery unit.
A spark ignited a cannonball, and the sound of explosions was heard continuously.
Many British soldiers were killed!
The biggest loss in this explosion was not the artillery or the shells, but the artillerymen carefully trained by Britain!
To train an artilleryman, it takes a lot of time, energy, and money!
But in the explosion just now, General William saw with his own eyes that nearly half of the artillery camp he built had been lost!
"Hateful Continental Congress!"
"Attack with all your strength! Kill these troops quickly!"
After half of the artillery battalion was gone, General William said angrily.
But now on the battlefield, without the suppression of artillery, the advantages of the highlands are gradually revealed.
George's troops gradually took the initiative on the battlefield, but their casualties were even more severe.
This battle must end as soon as possible.
If it doesn't end, his troops will most likely be exhausted here!
George glanced at the sun. When the battle began, the sun was still in the sky, but now it was gradually setting.
They have held off the enemy for at least four hours since the battle began!
George took out a breath and said in a deep voice: "Withdraw troops!"
"Breakout!"
Upon hearing these words, the troops who were still fighting on the defensive immediately changed their fighting form.
From a defensive and offensive formation to a breakout formation!
"Kill!" George waved the command knife in his hand and immediately ordered his troops to break out.
The rebels of the Continental Congress were indeed brave, and the soldiers rushed into the hail of bullets from the British troops without flinching.
Breakout is not defense, they don't have many cavalry.
Such a breakthrough is difficult enough!
General William had noticed something strange on the battlefield. He watched the cavalry of the Continental Congress rebels charging bravely, regardless of the cost.
Such an abnormal performance immediately made him think of a possibility.
The rebels are about to withdraw!
They are breaking out!
At this time, there are still a lot of remaining troops of the Continental Congress rebel army, and for Britain, this is the best opportunity to wipe out the rebel army.
"We must definitely stop them, they must withdraw their troops!"
Although General William issued the order, it was too late now. He was far away from the battlefield, and his order could not be transmitted to the entire army so quickly.
Without military orders, the British soldiers only know how to fight.
But when facing the cavalry, their troops all moved out of the way.
The cavalry is not another type of arms. On the plain battlefield, the cavalry is one of the most powerful arms on the battlefield.
Soldiers are also human beings, they also know how to be afraid, and they also know how to dodge.
When encountering these cavalry, they must put their own lives as the most important thing.
Therefore, before the British cavalry intercepted them, their soldiers did not stop the Continental Congress cavalry at all.
Perhaps it was the pity of God, or perhaps it was a coincidence of fate, because General William's order did not arrive immediately.
The Continental Congress rebels relied on their cavalry to tear up a road and fight their way out!
The 30,000 British troops could not stop them at all.
This scene fell into the eyes of General William, who shouted: "What on earth are these soldiers doing!"
But now it is too late to blame anyone, and no one can continue to prevent the Continental Congress from breaking out.
They were heading west towards Manhattan Island!
According to statistics after the battle, the Continental Congress deployed 10,000 troops to intercept, but only 2,500 people survived.
It can be said to be a real fiasco!
This is the first time since they started the war that they have paid such a heavy price!
And this war is not over yet, the British troops are still in New York City!
George just led their troops to temporarily raid out.
Although General William won the battle, his face was full of unhappiness!
For him, if not all the Continental Congress troops were wiped out this time, it would be considered a victory!
Even if we occupy New York City, it's just the beginning!
