Green lurked in the darkness, and through the slightly bright sky, he saw the gray-red British soldiers, like lobsters appearing in the rice fields in the darkness.
Green silently counted the distances between the British soldiers and their traps.
"Five meters, four meters, three meters..."
"Two, one!"
The British soldiers walked along the road ahead as usual, and they did not feel anything unusual at this moment.
However, the next moment!
Boom...
Without any expectation, the ground suddenly exploded and countless flying rocks and shrapnel struck into the bodies of these soldiers. Many soldiers died on the spot!
Blood mist exploded in the air, and Green was extremely excited!
"beat!"
The Continental Congress troops who had been ambushing here for a long time, first the demons appeared in the darkness, and attacked the British soldiers who entered their trap.
The British army, which had not yet reacted, suffered heavy casualties.
Although the weapons of the Continental Congress Army are not very good, they are deadly enough, and under the guidance of Liu Zheng, the power of these muskets is amazing!
British soldiers soon suffered casualties.
And in order to delay the British army's attack, they even used five precious artillery pieces!
"emission!"
Huge cannonballs exploded on the battlefield, and the British army, which had lost the opportunity, showed a one-sided disadvantage.
And this state does not last long, and the British army's ability to become a powerful force in Europe is not in vain!
They quickly made adjustments.
The British troops spread out to widen the distance between them to avoid enemy artillery shells and reduce the damage from the bullet points.
Greene saw the British troops spread out, and their troops left to launch an encirclement and suppression offensive against them.
They had only three hundred troops, and their task was to delay the British attack.
A head-on confrontation with the British troops was not their plan.
Green immediately issued an order: "Retreat as planned!"
After receiving the order, the Continental Congress troops immediately retreated. Green did not just prepare an ambush on a battlefield!
For them, leaving enough ambushes on multiple battlefields is their way to tie down the British army.
With just three hundred of them, it would be impossible even if the entire army was wiped out.
However, just as they were withdrawing their troops, a sudden change occurred.
The British army's artillery shells fell faster than he expected.
It hit their troops just right.
Green looked over and saw that the veteran who signed up first gave him the last smile of the general.
As if to say: "General, I didn't embarrass you!"
He suddenly disappeared in front of Green.
Seeing this scene, Green felt extremely heartbroken, but it was too late to be sad now. This war is not over yet, everything is still going on!
He must cheer up immediately and lead the team to another ambush location as soon as possible!
When they formed this team, they knew that too many people would die here.
"keep going!"
Green took one last look, which seemed to use up all his strength.
…
The commander of the British army laughed when he saw the Continental Congress army retreating.
Keep going without any concern.
In his opinion, this is just the other party's death struggle.
Their army is nothing more than a team of rats.
And they are cats, teasing them all the time.
"General, do you want to send troops to pursue us?"
"No, the fall of Virginia today is a doomed outcome. Let's just play with these Continental Congress. This is also a kindness to the enemy."
"Yes, sir."
The adjutant smiled strangely and retreated.
…
On the other side, Green led the remaining troops to another ambush site.
Green looked at his pocket watch and found that the pointer had reached the five position.
The sky is already very bright now, and in less than two hours the sky will be bright.
But Green frowned.
Because in the previous battle, they had already exhausted their means.
All five artillery pieces have been lost, and even the soldiers have lost 140 people!
"We are at the end of our rope, but we have to delay for at least two hours. Soldiers, what we will face next is a fierce battle."
He said in a deep voice.
The soldiers responded to Greene by loading their muskets!
With a silent oath, Green has received the greatest respect from these soldiers!
"Just fight! After killing so many British soldiers, we are considered worthy enough. My qualifications should be enough to enter heaven."
"I really hope to reunite with them soon."
Hearing this sentence, in such a situation of facing death, Green laughed out loud, not knowing whether it was self-deprecation or something.
At this moment, he finally understood why Long Yan was in so many novels.
Why do those knights dare to face opponents several times stronger than themselves, but the other party can face them calmly?
You can even drink a bottle before the war.
This is so heroic, and now Green finally knows why.
If you don't care about life and death, do it if you don't accept it!
"Hahaha..." Green imitated the heroes in Long Yan's novels and said boldly: "Survive, I will take you to drink!"
"Yinzhou is drunk!"
"Okay, General, be happy!"
Green looked at the British troops marching in the distance, took a step forward, and shouted loudly!
"attack!"
"attack!"
The remnants of the Continental Congress shouted loudly, and the bullets from the muskets in their hands were immediately released.
They have no way out from this battle.
The British commander was surprised to see the sudden appearance of the Continental Congress Army.
I originally thought that after so many attacks, these Continental Congress troops had escaped, but I didn't expect to encounter them here again!
The British commander smiled strangely and said: "It would be a good choice to use lead bullets to let them see how their fortress fell."
Although lead bullets are powerful, they are not fatal. These bullets can quickly make the enemy lose their combat effectiveness.
It's a very cruel trick.
The soldiers around Green were really brave. There were more than a hundred of them, but they couldn't attack the opponent for a long time.
But Green's side also paid a huge price.
These lead bullets were extremely powerful, and every time they hit their soldiers, they were bound to cause broken bones.
But as long as they can still fight, their hands can still aim, and their fingers can still pull the trigger, none of Green's soldiers will choose to give up.
But no matter how brave you are, the outcome of failure is already doomed.
There is only a hundred troops, how can the British troops have thousands of people and want to compare.
If it weren't for the terrain and the ferocity of the warriors, they wouldn't have been able to delay much time.
Just like now, Lady Luck no longer favors them.
