Virginia!
"Hurry up and fix it here, we have to finish it before dawn!"
A fortress outside Virginia, a fortress that had just resisted the British attack during the day.
The weak moonlight shines in the fortress filled with fire, and the firelight inside the fortress shines through the scars on the battlefield outside.
The large hole in the city wall is shocking, although it has been determined that there is no possibility of repairing the fortress.
But it is the most important fort in Virginia.
In Virginia, a plain is very easy to attack.
This fortress is the last fortress on the way into Virginia. If it is lost here, the door to Virginia will open.
Their current Continental Congress army of only 10,000 people could not withstand the attack of the British army of 50,000 people.
Green led the soldiers who had just experienced a day of fighting and quickly repaired the dilapidated fortress.
"Quick, we don't have much time!"
Green looked at the already dark sky. It seemed that the last moonlight had dissipated, and the dark clouds shrouded the sky with thunder and flashes. He felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He looked at the soldiers whose faces showed fatigue after days of fighting.
Many soldiers have reached their limit.
There were also many soldiers who were injured on the battlefield, and as long as they could still move, they participated in the emergency repairs.
Blood and water mixed into the lime, and broken bricks quickly filled the building in the hands of these soldiers.
As the commander, Green also personally participated in the emergency repair work.
The commander's fair face also turned an khaki color.
This fortress must be built tonight. Without his obstruction, the troops of the Continental Congress would not be able to withstand the attack of the British army.
It involves the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people in Virginia, and no one dares to be careless!
However, at this moment, Green's intelligence officer sent an urgent message.
"General, the British army has started taking action in advance. According to our estimates, they will attack us before dawn!"
Hearing these words, Green frowned. He looked at the fluorescent pocket watch in his arms. The pointer had already fallen to the three position!
It's three o'clock in the morning, and there are only a few hours until dawn.
But at this time, there was a loud thunder.
God is forcing them to hurry up and hurry up!
However, the fortress they are currently building is not even one-third complete, and everything seems to be saying that it is too late!
Green lit up a cigarette and took a puff, hoping to rely on the strong nicotine to stabilize his mood.
After exhaling the smoke in a deep voice, he said in a deep voice: "Mobilize the troops, we need more time!"
The intelligence soldier watched Green walking solemnly towards the military camp.
Facing the soldiers who had reached their limit tonight, he said in a deep voice: "What I'm going to say next is not an order, but a request."
"According to our intelligence analysis, the British Army will arrive here in four hours, and the fortress being built now will take at least six more hours."
"Now I need a team of three hundred people to follow me to the front to lay traps and intercept the incoming British troops. We will engage in firefights with them."
"Those who are saving their lives now, come to my side!"
As soon as the words fell, the entire military camp felt like death.
Everyone knows what this means. Three hundred people go to intercept the British troops and delay for six hours. This is not a battle, but a death!
"I come!"
A young soldier came out of the queue and walked to Green. Looking at him, Green frowned because he was too young.
He looks only sixteen years old!
"Soldier, you are too young. I will give you a chance to reconsider!"
The soldier said solemnly: "General, I will not change this decision!"
"The Britons took my family and they will pay for it!"
After hearing these words, everyone fell into silence, and Green silently watched the soldier standing beside him.
With the first soldier joining, everyone was infected with emotions.
Soon other soldiers appeared!
"We can't let these new recruits see all of our veterans!"
"Veterans over fifty years old come out!"
"It's up to us to hold back the enemy!"
The sound of footsteps suddenly echoed through the sky, and thunder began. Green looked at the old man who stood up with a moved expression.
The unconcealable emotions showed on his face.
"Sir, the team has been assembled, please give instructions!"
"well!"
"The people here will never forget the achievements you left behind, and your names will be included in history!"
Three hundred warriors died generously!
Green didn't know whether they could win this war, but he knew that history would always remember that there was once a team on the American continent to fight against colonial rule.
Stand up for your freedom!
The troops they formed immediately rushed to the battlefield ahead without stopping for a moment!
There they would hold off the British attack.
Green leads the team himself!
They knew that if they relied on these three hundred people alone, it would be impossible to delay the British troops for long.
So Green modified enough mines with cannonballs!
The mines Liu Zhen provided them have worked wonders in this battle.
Thanks to these mines, they were able to repeatedly defeat the attacking British troops.
…
At this time, Old Pete's command room.
"Your Majesty Prime Minister, General Barry has arrived."
"See the Prime Minister."
Behind the guard, Barry, who was serving in the red uniform of a British general, gave a slight salute.
Prime Minister Old Pitt nodded slightly. Although he was not a real British general, he was a military governor, holding the power of the entire army in his hands.
Even Barry is under his jurisdiction.
"Virginia has been unable to be conquered for a long time. This is your responsibility and mine. We must conquer Virginia within today!"
They have now surrounded Virginia and cut off the connection between the city and the outside world.
But Virginia was not breached.
The only thing standing in front of them now is the fortress!
"Prime Minister, you can rest assured that our soldiers caught an enemy deserter today, and we already know from his mouth that there is still a path leading to the fortress!"
"We can launch a surprise attack!"
Hearing these words, Old Pete's eyes lit up. He was already going crazy trying to conquer Virginia and other places!
The person who killed his son, Liu Zheng, is in Virginia right now!
It’s just one step away!
"Okay, very good, send two troops to attack. I don't want anything to happen this time!"
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
Barry gave a military salute, and according to Old Pete's order, two groups of British troops set off from their positions and attacked the fortress directly!
However, Green, who was completely unaware of this, led the troops to prepare to ambush the enemy's frontal troops!
The mines have been laid out and now we are waiting for the enemy to take the bait!
