At this time, the Long Yan Fleet led by Li He completed the task of transporting the Long Yan Army.
The ten Dragon Flame supply ships have also completed their assembly.
The reorganized Long Yan Fleet, led by Li He, attacked Quebec!
Because of the special circumstances on the American battlefield, establishing a supply line at sea was the first choice. Britain relied on Quebec City to establish a transportation line in North America.
Continuously deliver material resources to the frontline battlefield.
However, with the defeat of New York City, Britain had lost their transportation hub on the road, but the 60,000 British troops in Yorktown would not need any supplies.
Therefore, their competition for transportation lines at sea is particularly important!
In order to cut off the supply line of the British army, Li He led the Longyan fleet to attack Quebec City.
On the blue surface of the Atlantic Ocean, dust and smoke drifted.
Li He looked into the distance through the telescope. As far as he could see, a small boat shadow came into his eyes!
The distance was too far, and he couldn't see clearly what kind of ship it was, but he knew without much thought that it must be a British patrol ship!
Specially responsible for detecting enemy situations, this kind of ship is relatively small, but it is extremely fast!
At this distance, even the Longyan Fleet, which has the fastest ship in the world, would not be able to catch up.
But Li He had no intention of covering up his offensive intentions!
"Be prepared for battle, keep moving forward, target Quebec!" he shouted in a deep voice.
After receiving the order, Long Yanjun immediately went down to prepare for battle.
The British patrol ship has discovered them, so there must be a battle waiting for them.
This battle will come soon.
…
The soldiers on the British patrol ship looked very nervous and worried when facing the fleet in the distance. The fleet was gradually approaching, and they could clearly see the armed soldiers and combat equipment on board. They seemed to be ships of the Dragon Flame Fleet, and this made the soldiers of the British patrol ship even more alert. Their ship is just a patrol ship, and neither the equipment nor the crew can compete with this army.
The soldiers began to get busy and make final preparations. They checked the status of weapons, ammunition, and ship engines for fear of anything going wrong.
The entire ship has entered a high state of combat readiness, and their fleet is ready to retreat at any time!
The alarm was sounded, and the British commander seemed to have forgotten that he was driving a patrol ship.
Not a Dreadnought-class battleship for combat!
Such patrol ships have very limited combat capabilities, but their speed is extremely fast.
The British commander looked at the approaching Dragon Flame fleet and suddenly came to his senses!
"Full right rudder!"
"Full right rudder!"
The British patrol ship, which was only fifteen meters long, made an emergency U-turn. The British commander looked at the Longyan fleet in the distance and prayed secretly in his heart.
Hope it's not too late!
The British patrol ship was like a fallen leaf in the sea, blown by the wind and capsized by the waves.
At this time, Long Yan's supply ship was almost within attack range.
The British patrol ship finally completed its U-turn, and it moved!
The commander ordered the steam engine to be adjusted to maximum power, and the patrol ship began to retreat away from the Long Yan fleet at full speed. At the same time, it kept an eye on the surrounding water to alert for any threats that might arise. The burning flames made a low roar, and billowing black smoke curled up from the chimney, covering the movement track of the British patrol ship, making it even more difficult to detect.
The soldiers on the British patrol ship remained alert and nervous, cooperating with each other, trying to successfully complete this emergency evacuation operation. They are always watching the Long Yan fleet in the distance, keeping a close eye on its movement trajectory, and their movements must be quick and precise.
Driven by the steam engine, the British patrol ship galloped away into the distance, slowly moving away from the pursuit range of the Longyan fleet. The soldiers breathed a long sigh of relief in absolute safety.
Looking at the land in the distance, which is the mouth of the St. Laurent River, the British commander suddenly relaxed.
Coming here means that they are safe, at least for the time being, they will not encounter the attack of the Dragon Flame Fleet.
He began to think about what was going to happen next. The Longyan Army suddenly appeared in the sea area they were guarding, which meant that a war was coming!
He had to deliver the news to Quebec City as soon as possible.
to allow the British army to defend itself.
But exactly at this moment, there was a loud noise from below the ship of the British Fleet!
The entire cabin was rocked back and forth by the impact.
None of the British officers could stand still and fell directly to the ground.
"What's going on, soldier! Soldier!"
The British soldiers who came over quickly helped the British commander up. They said urgently: "It's not good, General, we've hit a rock!"
"What!" The British commander frowned.
Before, I was only focused on escaping and didn't pay attention to the problems on the route. I didn't expect that I would run into rocks!
"Can the boat sea leave?"
"There's a big hole in the bottom of the cabin. It's probably impossible to leave."
"We might have to abandon ship and leave."
The British commander was stunned for a moment. Although it was the mouth of the St. Laurent River, there was only one small boat left after abandoning the ship.
It can accommodate no more than five people, and the boat cannot be powered into the St. Laurent River.
They are still a long way from Quebec.
Abandoning ship now is basically announcing their death sentence!
At this time, news that made the British governor even more upset was delivered.
"General, the Dragon Flame Fleet is less than five nautical miles away from us, and they are about to enter Quebec from the St. Laurent River!"
The British governor's mind was in chaos when he heard the news!
If Britain had no preparations, this naval battle would be lost.
"How far we are from the river bank!
"About two nautical miles or so!"
"Find a few good men to go to the shore to report the news, and the rest will follow me here to fight against the Dragon Flame Fleet!"
…
Onboard the Dragon Flame Fleet.
"Report to the general, there are British patrol ships ahead. They seem to have encountered some problem. Should we sink them?"
Li He took the binoculars and looked at the British patrol ship in the distance, and saw that the soldiers on the deck were already ready for battle!
Li He said lightly: "Ignore it and move on."
"yes……"
Commander British and his soldiers watched the supply ship of the Dragon Flame Fleet pass in front of him as if they were dead!
"Prepare!"
The British soldier tightened his grip on the gun handle, and the sound of the rumbling steam engine sounded like the beating of his own heart.
The British commander was always staring at the Longyan fleet. He had already given up his life, but the Longyan fleet passed in front of him, and the British commander did not dare to say an attack.
And the huge hull of Longyan Fleet seemed to have not noticed them at all!
Commander Britain looked at the general of the Longyan Army on the deck in the distance, and passed through his small patrol ship without even looking at himself.
