In an instant, heavy rain poured down!
Wan Shang exhaled. He didn't know when the rain would fall, but he didn't expect it to happen at this moment!
He looked at George and said with a smile: "It seems that Lady Luck is on our side."
George suddenly laughed. A heavy rain came down, which not only provided them with the best cover, but also soaked Britain's most important muskets and artillery!
Black powder, a necessity needed in war, can no longer be used once it comes into contact with water.
This heavy rain destroyed Britain's most reliable weapon!
Wan Shang chuckled and said immediately: "Now we can go to the other side of the river."
George hummed, hurriedly ran in the rain, and ordered the soldiers to push the wooden sails they had prepared into the Trinton Ferry.
As for the British soldiers on the battlefield, they couldn't see clearly who was in front of them in the heavy rain!
Although General Hall went to the battlefield in person, he was stunned when he saw a figure suddenly appearing on the river from behind.
I instantly realized that this might be the enemy crossing the river.
He shouted urgently: "Quickly stop them from crossing the river!"
But it was over now. Under the heavy rain, the British soldiers could not hear General Hall's orders clearly.
General Hall, who was blind in one eye, had no choice but to angrily grab the messenger's ears and angrily said: "I want you to attack the Continental Rebel Army on the Hudson River!"
The messenger was startled and rushed to the battlefield, covering his ears in extreme pain.
But the battlefield under the heavy rain destroyed everything!
They lost their muskets and artillery, and the soldiers were immediately at a loss.
However, General Bonaparte's troops were well prepared. When the battle began, their muskets were equipped with bayonets!
The square formation finally came into use at this time!
The troops of the Continental Congress are like warriors fighting against the storm!
They fought bravely towards the British soldiers, and at this moment, Green, who had been prepared for a long time, also led the cavalry to charge in the rain!
The knights in the rainstorm are like the warriors in the mouths of those singers and poets, they look down upon them!
No soldier could stand in front of them.
General Hall was furious and saw his troops being slaughtered crazily.
They originally had a huge advantage, but now they are left passively being beaten.
"You're fighting, you bastards!"
General Hall shouted coldly, but no one in the chaotic battlefield could listen to his words.
Only the British troops were slaughtered!
At this time, the withdrawal of the Continental Congress took advantage of the rain and wind, and many people had already withdrawn to the opposite side.
George immediately lit the flare that had not yet touched the water, and there was a boom!
George and Green, who were still fighting, suddenly understood and retreated while fighting!
Leading the troops, they also came to Trenton Ferry and left in small boats.
But the British army on the shore could only watch the troops crossing the river incompetent and furious!
They lost their muskets and artillery due to a heavy rain, and they no longer had enough ability to attack the troops crossing the river.
I can only watch the Continental Rebel Army crossing the Hudson River!
In order to guard this river, General Hall lost an eye. They paid too much!
But now what they get in exchange is such a battle result!
General Hall on the shore roared unwillingly!
"ah!"
On the other side of the river, George glanced at the British Army opposite with a smile, and the smile gradually solidified on his face.
The corpses of veterans and recruits were lying on the muddy battlefield, and there were many soldiers buried with them!
This is not their hometown, and there are no relatives to mourn them.
"Just wait, we will come back again!"
"Wait until we beat Britain away!"
Bearing this oath in mind, George turned around heavily and did not let the troops stay here.
This is still one hundred and twenty kilometers away from their final destination.
This is not a small number!
I don’t know if there are any ambush troops of the British Army ahead, but they all have to embark on the journey!
"Soldiers, let's go!"
George led the troops and left here.
In this battle, the Continental Rebel Army invested a total of 12,000 troops, and lost about 5,000 troops against the British troops.
Half of the troops are lost here!
As for the British troops, a total of 20,000 troops were deployed during this siege and interception. They were better equipped and made it impossible for the Continental Rebels to fight back!
A rough estimate is that if it were not for the sudden heavy rain, the loss of the British troops might have been less than 3,000 people.
Such a terrifying gap will scare anyone who sees it!
This gap also made George realize an extremely important issue. The gap in weapons preparation can no longer be bridged by the quality of command and troops!
They need to get more powerful equipment.
And only one country that has this ability to provide them with more equipment can do it!
Dragon Flame!
They must cooperate closely with Long Yan, and it has now been confirmed that New York City was also captured by Long Yan's army.
Although the true number of this unit was not revealed, everyone knew that this unit could only be a unit of the Long Yan Army.
If we can get help from the Dragon Flame Army, this battle will be over soon!
By that time, the British colonial areas in America would be able to negotiate the conditions for independence with the British.
Thinking of this, George breathed a sigh of relief.
The top priority now is to proceed steadily according to this plan!
First establish contact with Long Yanjun!
…
At this time, Liu Zheng's supply ship fleet had sailed to Australia!
Ever since Australia was given to Xie Fang and later taken back by him.
He didn't ask much about Australia's construction.
However, according to Liu Zheng's strategic plan, Australia will be an important part of him.
More good harbors and more signal towers will be built here.
This place will become a transit point for Long Yan's foreign trade, and it will also become an outpost for Long Yan to enter the Americas.
Now there are no ships that can sail from Asia across the entire Pacific to the Americas.
Therefore, it will be very important to set up such a supply station in Australia.
And not only that, in Liu Zheng's mind, Australia will become Long Yan's largest aircraft transshipment center!
The engine has appeared!
Knowledge of aerodynamics and materials science had been developed and the next step was to build an airplane!
They have steel battleships at sea!
There are tanks on land!
What about in the air?
If Long Yan controls the air, no troops will be able to pose a threat to them!
Even the most advanced cannons today cannot fire projectiles into the air at a height of 300 meters!
And the speed of the aircraft is beyond what ordinary artillery shells can hit!
