At this moment, Green led his troops on a mad march from New Jersey.

They must rush to Manhattan Island as soon as possible to support George!

However, it is still a long distance from New Jersey to Manhattan Island.

There is also a New York River in the middle, and Green has led his troops to attack for three days and three nights.

At this time, he was almost reaching the vicinity of Manhattan Island, and the sound of fierce artillery fire could not be heard at this moment.

Green looked through the telescope and saw that Manhattan Island was already raging with war.

The Continental Rebel Army fell into an extremely difficult combat environment.

They were almost surrounded by British troops.

Green immediately said: "Keep going, we must move faster!"

He waved suddenly, and the troops behind him advanced rapidly.

Green immediately rushed to Manhattan Island non-stop. Now they were in a race with death. If they arrived a second late, more soldiers of their rebel army would die.

And this is a loss they cannot accept!

At this time, on the battlefield of Manhattan Island, George saw the surging British soldiers and fell into despair.

This was already the seventh wave of British soldiers they had repelled.

However, the rebel army, with a huge strength gap, was never able to completely defeat the British army.

George looked at Bonaparte desperately and said in a deep voice: "General, you have done your best to be kind and righteous, but the current war situation does not allow me to be selfish anymore."

"General Bonaparte! Thank you for your assistance. I will order the death squads to open a hole for you and your team members. You can withdraw..."

Bonaparte glanced at George, threw his pen back, and said with a smile: "Sir George, I am a Frenchman and a soldier."

"Escape is not retreat. The former is a humiliation for us, even on the battlefield in a foreign country."

George took a deep look at the short general and was slightly stunned. He did not expect that the other party would say such a thing.

Impressed by the other party's courage, he took back his pen and mentioned something about running away.

"Sir George, you are right, we should retreat, but the artillery positions over there are too much in the way, we must destroy them!"

George looked over and saw three forts on the battlefield.

But there was only one fort on the route that hindered their retreat.

If they retreat, this will be their focus of attack.

George said in a muffled voice: "I will lead a force in a surprise attack, and you will break out from the flanks. This way we will have a greater chance of success!"

Bonaparte refused: "No, it's too dangerous."

"The opponent's artillery will aim at you first, and our cavalry may not be immune to these injuries."

George glanced at the battlefield. Too many of their soldiers had been killed. Due to the loss of Long Island and Staten Island, their originally determined retreat had been blocked.

If we can retreat now, we can only go through the New York River, but that is an extremely dangerous river.

There are man-eating fish in the turbid river water, and even the most ferocious soldiers dare not step into it easily.

But the difficulties they faced were not only that, there were also countless British soldiers blocking their way.

Even if they break through to the river, as long as they cross the river, they will be like targets and become the best items for British soldiers to practice their guns!

George's plan was that he would destroy the fort to attract fire and use it as bait.

Cover Bonaparte's crossing of the river. Even if Bonaparte crosses the river smoothly, George's troops, who are bound to attract firepower, will be besieged.

They would never have a chance to retreat.

It is precisely because of this that Bonaparte would not agree to George's plan.

But the current battle situation no longer allows them to have too many choices. George said arbitrarily: "This is my order, just do it!"

After saying this, George said directly to the troops behind him: "People from the first team, the third team, and the fourth team, get out of here!"

"Assault the fort, attract local firepower, and let the others break out!"

"yes!"

George immediately led the troops he selected and rushed to the battlefield. He did not give Bonaparte any room to refute, and the other party could only watch him enter the battlefield!

After experiencing these two battles, Bonaparte deeply admired George's courage.

"It is a blessing for the Continental Congress to have such a leader!"

"Soldiers, attack with all your strength and cover our troops!"

Bonaparte gave the order and his troops attacked like crazy.

The bullets that were originally scarce were now being released as if desperately, just to suppress the edge of the British troops.

The British commander raised his eyebrows and looked at the frantically attacking Continental Congress.

It's surprising that they still have so many bullets.

But it doesn't matter. The Continental Congress's defeat has been doomed, and their troops should avoid the edge at this time.

After thinking of this, the British commander ordered.

"Fall back and let their bullets attack the air!"

After the British troops retreated, the bullets of the Continental Congress rebels were more likely to attack the air because of their weapons.

Although they suppressed the attack of the British troops.

But there is no way to kill more enemies!

Moreover, because of the retreat of the British troops, it will be more difficult for George's surprise attack force to attack the fort!

Upon seeing this, Bonaparte also immediately adjusted his troops.

They pressed forward against the British troops.

Seeing this scene, the British commander was overjoyed. The place where the rebels stood was a rare high ground on Manhattan Island, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Their retreat meant that the mainland rebels were giving up the positions they had held for so long.

"The enemy general seems to be crazy!"

"How dare you withdraw!"

"Attack, attack quickly, I want them to know what they are going to lose!"

At this time, the British troops launched a crazy attack on the team led by Bonaparte!

Such an attack undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Bonaparte, but it also gave George enough time and space!

Give him a chance to destroy the enemy's fort!

George led the cavalry to suddenly emerge, killing all the British artillery.

And these powerful artillery pieces were also ignited by George's flame.

Just like the Battle of New York City, the fort here exploded with a bang, and the explosion of the artillery shells exerted great power among the crowd.

But this time George was not as lucky as last time.

After destroying the fort this time, if there is no miracle!

He will not be able to escape the encirclement and suppression of the British troops!

And George looked at the British soldiers around him and loaded his musket.

Even if it means death!

He also wants to die in his own hands instead of being captured by the British troops!

However, at this moment, a whistle came from the other side of New York City!
