He had long heard that there was an army stationed nearby.

But I didn't expect it to be Vino's army.

Qin Changfeng had been in contact with Wei Nuo and knew that he was not a person who would run away. On the current battlefield, he had indeed chosen to be a deserter.

And it's in Philadelphia, the most important capital for America!

The retreat of choice!

Based on this alone, Qin Changfeng's eyes changed when he looked at him.

When Wei Nuo saw Qin Changfeng's cold expression, he had already guessed what he was thinking and felt extremely guilty.

"General, actually..."

Qin Changfeng interrupted him and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you don't have to tell me anything."

"Since you are here, our forces can work together to attack Philadelphia."

"Tell me what kind of information you have now."

When Wei Nuo heard Qin Changfeng's emotionless words, he was stunned for a moment, thinking whether his original order to withdraw troops was right.

"Well... we still have no way to control the movements of the British army on Feicheng Road. The British army has completely blocked Philadelphia."

"Where's the terrain map?" Qin Changfeng asked.

Vino quickly brought a terrain map and a sand table based on the terrain of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia was originally their capital, and it was easy to understand the topography of this area.

Qin Changfeng looked at the plains on the map and frowned. There were only a few small hills in Philadelphia that could be regarded as dangerous areas. Other than that, there was no place that could block the British army.

In this case, the fortresses around Philadelphia became extremely important.

These buildings similar to the ancient city of Longyan are the best defenses used in the West to resist troops!

But their two troops couldn't clear these fortresses.

Most of the raiding troops led by Qin Changfeng were cavalry, and the battle on the field was indeed extremely fast.

But for the Broken City, it was a bit unsatisfactory.

As for Vino's troops, he was not in much better shape.

"We only have three hundred artillery pieces in total, but we lack the artillery shells needed for engineering, and we don't have enough engineering weapons."

Vino sighed.

He looked at Qin Changfeng and said meaningfully: "General, maybe we can set our target elsewhere. Breaking the city is not the only option."

Qin Changfeng looked at Wei Nuo, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Do you want to attack here to delay the enemy's gathering and give our large army time?"

Wei Nuo nodded, Qin Changfeng's words hit the mark.

He did think so. With Long Yan's cavalry and the cars assisted by Dexter, their mobility could completely crush the British troops, and rely on such mobility to attack Britain.

Disrupting the enemy's action plan is undoubtedly a good choice for them.

Qin Changfeng thought for a moment, and based on his contact with Ling Chen, Long Yan's army would arrive soon.

If at this time, it is undoubtedly a good choice to deploy troops to attack Britain and disrupt the enemy's arrangement.

And their mobility provides them with enough protection!

"The plan is feasible, but I need a trustworthy ally to support our cavalry."

Qin Changfeng, who has a cavalry force of 4,000, will undoubtedly assume the main force of this mission.

After hearing this, Vino was silent for a while.

He had a history of 'escaping', so it was normal for Qin Changfeng not to believe him.

But the next words caught Vino completely by surprise.

"And you, my friend, are you willing to take on this responsibility!"

"Cut the rear for our troops!"

Wei Nuo looked at Qin Changfeng's sincere expression and confirmed again and again that the other person was talking about him!

Qin Changfeng is willing to hand over the back of their Long Yan Army to him!

this……

"General, what virtues and abilities do our troops have to be valued so highly by you! You know the Philadelphia we guard..."

Qin Changfeng waved his hand to interrupt him and patted him on the shoulder.

He said in a deep voice: "I know why you want to withdraw your troops, if it is my troops guarding Long Yan Jinghua."

"After facing enemies several times larger than ourselves and evacuating the people."

"I will also choose to leave an empty city to the enemy!"

"Although this city is extremely important, for the sake of winning the war, I think I will make the same choice."

When Vino heard this, tears filled his eyes.

He cried: "Thank you General!"

"Our troops held out for seven days under the enemy's attack. Of the 15,000-strong team, only 3,000 were left in the end!"

"I will never forget that on the seventh day, the city gate that had been guarded was blasted open by the British troops. Our troops started street fighting inside the city, desperately trying to delay time and cover the people's retreat."

"The bullets are gone, the soldiers are fighting for their bayonets!"

"One fights against five, and some soldiers are beaten into pieces by the enemy, but as their commander, I can do nothing!"

"In order to preserve our troops and counterattack Philadelphia, we can only choose to retreat!"

"retreat……"

Qin Changfeng looked at Wei Nuo with a complicated expression. There is an old saying in Long Yan: Men don't shed tears easily, but they are not sad yet...

What is a sad place? There are too many separations of life and death on the battlefield.

People who have seen too much may become numb, but for generals, their powerlessness is the greatest pain.

When facing the enemy, the general knew that he would fail, but he still continued to command the troops and sent each soldier to the front line and into death.

It is said that Ci does not control soldiers, but he has more experience as a soldier.

Numb.

General Qin Changfeng sighed and said calmly: "We will win the final victory. Long Yan was also a weak country not long ago."

“It took us ten years to get where we are now.”

"I believe you, America, will live a happy life for not too long."

Wei Nuo took a deep breath and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, thank you..."



At this time, there was not only the Long Yan Army on the battlefield rushing from Virginia to Philadelphia.

and the combined forces of the Continental Congress and France.

And this team was personally led by the current French general, Bonaparte!

He originally fought in Preston City, but later moved to Philadelphia!

Bonaparte now commanded an astonishing number of thirty thousand troops.

This force came all the way from Preston City and gradually expanded to its current size.

To be precise, it was Bonaparte who used war to support war and pulled together a powerful force!

No one can underestimate the power of this force.

As for this battle in Philadelphia, Bonaparte had the belief that he would win!

But what Bonaparte didn't know was that Britain had already been prepared to fight them in Philadelphia!

Fifty thousand British troops are currently setting up a large net around Philadelphia, waiting for Bonaparte to enter!
