"Withdraw troops!"
When Old Pete heard these two words, he lost his mind instantly!
Withdrawing their troops means that they have to abandon Philadelphia, which is the capital of America. It is an extremely important city for both America and Britain.
Evacuating from here means that Britain will begin to retreat!
And the most important point is that this is General William's rear area!
If they retreat from here, the next stop for the attacking Long Yan Army and America's troops will be New York City!
General William is now fighting against George, if the Longyan Army is also included.
New York City can never be saved!
If New York City cannot be saved, most of Britain's military bases in North America will be paralyzed.
The originally good situation will be completely ruined in their hands.
Old Pete cannot bear this responsibility!
"No, we can't withdraw our troops!"
"We will lose this war!"
Adjutant Vivore knelt on the ground and begged with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty Prime Minister, if we don't retreat, we will also face defeat, and the entire army will be annihilated!"
"After the city is broken, how can the enemy leave us alone?"
"And General, after we withdraw, we still have our military base in Virginia. The terrain there is dangerous. As long as we hold on, we still have a chance to counterattack!"
Old Peter was a little moved, but still hesitant.
He looked at the battlefield and saw that the British troops were not completely defeated.
And this was the reason for his hesitation.
The current Long Yan Army has just landed, and their troops have just mobilized to attack. Their soldiers have not completely collapsed.
However, this scene only appeared for a moment.
The light released from the sky allowed him to see clearly the specific situation on the battlefield.
On the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke, the soldiers wearing red British military uniforms obviously suffered heavy casualties. The red color on the battlefield was too dazzling!
And the most terrifying thing was that when Old Pete saw the first wave of Longyan troops landing, the wheel-like weapon they had could actually kill his own soldiers in groups when activated!
My own soldiers have no ability to resist at all!
And just one such weapon can withstand the attack of a team of more than a thousand people!
This scene deeply stimulated Old Pete.
After the tank, Long Yan once again deeply shocked him with this unparalleled weapon and equipment!
This weapon is definitely a powerful offensive weapon on the battlefield!
Their army has no strength at all, and there is no good way to stop the Long Yan Army's attack.
Old Pete no longer hesitated and said directly: "Withdraw troops!"
"Withdraw troops!"
There is no need to continue fighting a war that is destined to fail!
After receiving the order, Adjutant Vivore quickly passed on the order if he was granted amnesty.
They must set off as soon as possible. Now the Long Yan Army has not completely landed, and the firepower of the large forces has not yet arrived. If the Long Yan Army has completely landed, this battle will not end in this way.
…
Qin Changfeng saw through the telescope that on the battlefield in the distance, the British army was continuously retreating!
"Send troops to blow up Britain's escape routes, and we will annihilate them all in Philadelphia!"
Vino frowned and said, "We don't have soldiers on the passage leading to New York City. I'm afraid we won't be able to complete this mission!"
"And the current British army has obviously not suffered any large-scale damage. If we cut off their retreat, it would not be a good thing for us if they fight to the death."
Qin Changfeng glanced at Wei Nuo, thought for a moment and said, "Let them go. When will this war end?"
"Only by destroying them all now will the British army know the pain!"
Wei Nuo did not refute, and his mind sank.
Although he wants America to be completely independent, he does not want to completely turn against Britain. Offending a world empire is not a good thing for America.
But it would be good if Long Yanjun did this, at least this war could end quickly.
…
At this time, Marshal William, who was fighting in New York City, suddenly received the news.
The army guarding Philadelphia was attacked by the Longyan Army. Philadelphia has fallen!
Fifty thousand British troops are now missing!
"What!" William's head was dizzy, and he felt that the sky was dark and dark!
The loss of Philadelphia meant that their rear was gone.
Moreover, the attacking Long Yan Army is not a soft persimmon like the Continental Congress Army. The Long Yan Army attacks them from Philadelphia. He will definitely be defeated as he is attacked on many sides.
"New York City can't be saved..." General William lamented.
He never imagined that he would conquer New York City with all his efforts and efforts.
The most important strategic city for the Continental Congress.
Such an advantageous start at the beginning ended in a miserable ending.
No, this is not the end yet!
A veteran of the battlefield, General William made a decision in an instant. It is too early to end now!
They also have 50,000 elite troops and a Dreadnought-class battleship!
This is not the end yet.
Even if New York City gave up, it would not have much impact on their battle situation.
General William looked at a location on the map!
There is a town in Virginia called Yorktown!
There will be their hope of a counterattack.
"Send the order to withdraw the troops and retreat to York Town, where we will fight to the death with the Dragon Flame Army!"
"Old Pete's troops, continue to send people to search!"
"That's an army of 50,000 people. Even if 50,000 pigs are lost, there will still be some clues."
"yes!"
The order was quickly issued, and the British troops quickly launched a withdrawal operation.
With the fall of Philadelphia and New York City, Britain lost most of its military bases in North America, but their military strength did not suffer a devastating blow!
There are still a full 50,000 troops available.
But in the coastal town of Yorktown, there is the strongest defense in Britain. The town is high in the north and low in the south. The high side is built on a cliff, and the sea is below.
There is no way for the enemy to attack from this cliff.
On the lower side, the main line of the Mississippi River passes through, forming a natural river defense line for the town.
There are also rocks and jungles around the town.
If the British army of nearly 50,000 men were ambushed here, it would be impossible for half of the troops to attack.
Moreover, the current Long Yan Army was deployed to the northern battlefield by the main force of the British Army.
It will be extremely difficult for them to achieve a strategic shift.
But the British army that retreated early could not be easier to relocate.
Now that the right time and place occupies this side of Britain, they have enough time to prepare for the attack of the American Union Army.
Just when General William was making adequate preparations for his counterattack, the arrival of a person added glory to him. Now he is confident enough to successfully defeat the Long Yan Army here.
