At this time, Preston was in the city.
George called Qin Changfeng, Wan Shang and Fang Dalong, hoping that Long Yan could give them a little help at this time.
"General Qin, can your troops support Philadelphia?"
"We cede our interests!" George said seriously. It was a matter of life and death, and he was ready to be bitten hard.
But Qin Changfeng said without any buffer room: "No, our army will set off today to go to Virginia."
George was stunned, now Virginia is also facing great danger.
And Virginia is George's hometown.
But in comparison, Philadelphia is the capital of America and the heart of their country!
"Then can Longyan help us with weapons?"
George looked at Wan Shang.
Wan Shang shook his head helplessly and said helplessly: "The land and sea routes between America and Long Yan have been blocked. Now we are powerless even if we want to."
Hearing this, George's heart fell into the abyss.
But the next moment, Qin Changfeng's words pulled him out of the abyss.
"Don't worry, George, Long Yan has already issued an order to Britain, the Lord."
"Soon, the British people will realize what kind of existence they have offended!"
Hearing this, George's eyes lit up and he was extremely excited.
If Liu Zheng had spoken personally and Long Yan's army had been mobilized, America would still have hope of victory.
The 4,000-strong Longyan Army alone was able to defeat the 30,000-strong British Army, although the outcome was still undecided.
But the result is self-evident. General William did not dare to continue attacking Preston City!
This situation lasted until Long Yan officially declared war on Britain!
Just as George was excited, suddenly there was a burst of artillery fire outside the city of Preston.
This is the seventh attack launched by General William against them!
Under such an attack, the Continental Congress Army had already used all its strength to repel six attacks from the opponent.
"Sorry, General Qin can't hold a banquet to say goodbye." George stood up with a solemn face and said apologetically.
"fine."
Qin Changfeng stood up slowly and said with great confidence: "Now that we, Long Yan, have joined the war, Britain is our enemy."
"Let us, the Dragon Flame Army, meet with the British Army before we leave!"
This sentence is so resounding!
The people present were filled with excitement when they saw Qin Changfeng walking out with the belief that he would win!
Who would dare to say such a thing if he didn't have powerful force.
George is extremely eager to know when America's military strength will directly dare to announce the outcome of this battle!
You must know that their opponent is Britain, the empire on which the sun never sets, the most powerful British force on the European battlefield!
There are only 4,000 people on the Long Yan Army side, and they have to fight against nearly 30,000 British troops!
Although it was impossible for William to dispatch his entire army, having the courage to be so confident was something no ordinary general could do.
…
At this time, on the battlefield.
The British army has more than 10,000 troops, equipped with 300 artillery pieces, and countless siege equipment!
It is enough to see William's determination, vowing to attack Preston!
"attack!"
Three hundred artillery pieces were fired together, and a wave of attacks was aimed at breaking through the city of Preston standing among the mountains and rivers.
The defenders of the Continental Congress were filled with despair when they saw the falling shells.
They had suffered heavy casualties in the previous six attacks. Facing these artillery pieces, they had no ability to resist at all.
The city wall has been damaged, and from inside the holes, you can see the red masses of British soldiers outside, surging in!
After six sieges, the city was not captured by the British army, just because of owning this city!
Relying on the strong city wall, they were able to withstand most of the British army's attacks, but now the city wall is broken!
Nothing can protect them anymore.
The British soldiers outside are about to pour into Preston City!
The troops of the Continental Congress were motivated but powerless, wishing they could block the British army's attack by themselves.
But this is just their beautiful thought.
Seeing that the city was about to be destroyed, the British commander smiled. They were sure to win this war!
However, at this time, changes occurred!
To the southeast of Preston, a group of strange soldiers suddenly came out!
Their firepower was extremely ferocious, and they were able to contain their troops just the moment they fought against the British troops.
And not only that, these troops that suddenly came out actually had artillery that could move quickly.
See those artillery pieces tied to the tail of the horse and dragged with ropes.
The British commander was shocked. He had only seen this kind of fighting method in the Longyan Army.
It is not the case that other troops in America cannot achieve such a simple combat method.
But the wheels used by the Long Yan Army for transportation have been modified so that the war horses can easily pull the artillery forward!
Commander British, command hastily, as if facing a powerful enemy!
"Stop them quickly!"
The British army had already rushed towards Preston City. When it was difficult to turn back, the British soldiers who had originally decided to fight had to go to the battlefield in advance to block the surprise attack of the Longyan Army.
But doing so would leave the British army with a lack of manpower for subsequent attacks.
At the moment when their forces were attracted, the Continental Congress Army, who was fighting bloody battles in the city, saw hope.
"kill!"
"kill!"
Like a drowning man clutching at the last straw, so they are now.
The British army blasted away the victory path, but now it has become a road that restrains them. The troops they rushed in now have no way to retreat.
The troops behind were ordered to enter the city.
This gave the Continental Congress defenders a rare opportunity. This group of British soldiers was destined to be trapped and die here.
At this time, the Long Yan army outside took advantage of the cavalry and artillery to launch a mobile attack on the British army.
The artillery pulled behind their horses was like a chariot, running rampantly on the battlefield, as if they were in an uninhabited land!
But General Qin Changfeng, they are not invincible, they just caught the British troops by surprise because of the surprise attack.
If they wait for the British army to turn around, even their Dragon Flame Army will be doomed to suffer on the spot!
Qin Changfeng saw that the situation on the battlefield had shifted towards the Continental Congress Army, and because of their attack, the British side suffered heavy casualties.
Qin Changfeng immediately ordered a breakout. Their target was not these British troops, but Virginia!
At this time, the British army looked at the Longyan Army that broke out.
The British commander was extremely anxious. If they pursued them now, they might be able to destroy the Dragon Flame Army.
But Preston City must give up.
