At this time, America was on the main road leading to Longyan City.
The British army made a surprise attack south from Canada.
Cut off the connection between the two areas in one fell swoop.
Block the channel for Long Yan to assist America, and on this road that spreads thousands of miles, there is only one key city that serves as a pass.
Special London City!
This city is located between America and Longyan. It was originally a small city-state.
But because it is one of the few cities leading to Longyan City, the geographical location is particularly important.
For George now, this is the only way for them to seek support from the outside world.
America's allies, France and Longyan, are located on their west side. If you want to obtain their support and supplies, there must be no mistakes in this passage.
But fortunately, this is America's rear area.
It was difficult for the British army to attack here. Under such tactical thinking, George seemed a little careless and did not expect that the situation on the battlefield had changed.
And he wasn't ready for anything yet!
General William sent General Barry to attack from the west!
This city is their first target.
At this time, Barry looked at the city of Trinton in the distance. The city was still peaceful. People were cultivating the farmland. The lovers were discussing their future lives. If they could own a piece of land of their own, then they could become planters. There was no sense of the imminent crisis of war.
Barry's eyes were full of indifference, and soon the city would be trampled by the cavalry of war.
"attack!"
His British soldiers flocked to the small city under the hills in droves.
They were densely packed with autumn grasshoppers, but they were red.
Wherever Barry's soldiers passed by, the tranquility of London City was instantly broken!
On the city wall, the generals stationed by the Continental Congress quickly rushed to the troops.
"Block them, block them!"
Gunshots suddenly broke out, but the Continental Congress had never been prepared to be here. The lack of troops was a fact they had long needed to face.
It is unimaginable that on this extremely important path, the city of London only has a thousand troops to maintain peace and order inside and maintain the safety here!
Even during such an important war period, the Continental Congress did not continue to send additional troops.
Barry looked indifferently at the city of Trinton, which was instantly engulfed by the flames of war. No one here could stop their troops from moving forward!
The defense line composed of a thousand troops seemed like they were going to die!
Even if they rely on the fortress of Trinton City, even if they fight bravely enough.
In front of the 10,000-man British army led by General Barry, under those artillery pieces, any fortress that had ever been seen was as fragile as paper.
In an instant, the walls of Trinton City were destroyed instantly under the shells of hundreds of artillery pieces.
As for the thousand-man Continental Congress troops, some were sacrificed in the sea of fire, some were killed by artillery shells, and some died in the collapsed city walls.
Within half an hour, this extremely important London city was captured by the British army.
Under the surprise attack, the residents of the city had no time to retreat.
They encountered the flames of war, and many became victims of the flames of war.
Barry walked into the city and saw that the place that was like a paradise half an hour ago had been transformed into a sea of fire!
War will not show mercy to anyone, even ordinary people!
"Bury the corpses of these civilians. I don't want a plague to happen here after we leave!"
"yes!"
The soldiers followed General Barry's orders and pushed away the corpses on the ground one by one, dumping them into the large pit they dug outside.
The pit is almost filled, but the city has not yet been cleaned up.
"Don't take either of them!"
"Today should be their wedding..."
The soldiers pulled the old woman who was lying on the corpse crying. They just numbly carried out the general's orders.
"Why... like this!"
"You bastards, the Lord will not let you go!"
The old woman looked at the soldiers who killed her children, and a flash of choice flashed in her eyes after crying!
America doesn't ban guns, so she certainly doesn't ban gunpowder.
Sizzle...bang!
Before these numb British soldiers could react, with a bang, the soldiers who had just dragged the old woman were all wiped out in the explosion.
At exactly this time, General Barry happened to witness the explosion, and his heart trembled slightly.
But he didn't pay much attention to it. He had experienced many battles and was used to separation between life and death.
Nothing on the battlefield can prove the fragility of life.
He's used to it.
However, at this moment, gunshots suddenly broke out in the already occupied Trinton City!
The 1,000-strong Continental Congress troops have been dealt with long ago. There are no troops here that can pose a threat to them!
Where did the gunfire come from?
Countless questions flashed through Barry's mind, but at this moment.
"General, be careful!"
A soldier rushed up and threw him to the ground instantly. The bullet flew past where he was standing just now, and there was a snap!
There's a crater on the ground!
The silver-white bullet shimmered under the sun. Barry's face trembled and he hurriedly looked at the location where the bullet was fired.
At this time, there is a person standing there!
They are residents of the city!
It was the residents of the city who shot at them!
And at this moment, on the streets of Trinton City, residents hiding in the darkness showed off their muskets!
This small town is suddenly filled with murderous intent!
Barry almost forgot that there are fifty or sixty thousand people living in this city, and each of their households has at least one musket!
As for these civilians who hold guns, as long as they pick up muskets, they are soldiers, and they are people who can fight.
…
"Urgent report!"
"Report to the general, there is a battle in London City, and it has now fallen. Our transportation line with Longyan City has been cut off!"
After hearing this, George stood up from his chair instantly.
He could never have imagined that enemy troops would suddenly appear in Trenston and occupy the city.
But George had not lost his mind yet. He hurriedly looked at the map and found the location of Trinton City. This pass was very important. It was also one of the roads directly connected to Virginia!
And Philadelphia needs to go from here, too.
"Send troops to support immediately. We will never be able to stop the British troops from continuing to attack!"
George quickly issued an emergency order. Their victory or defeat depended on this moment, if Trinton City could not defend it.
The British army will attack Virginia and Philadelphia along the way to London.
And Philadelphia is the headquarters of their Continental Congress. If Philadelphia falls, the headquarters of the Continental Congress will also fall!
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to them.
However, at this moment, more urgent information was transmitted!
