At this time, on the battlefield in America.

Yorktown.

General William used the river surrounding Yorktown to establish control of the Longyan Army's tanks.

Hinder tank attacks.

Ling Chen, the commander-in-chief of Long Yan, has long understood the British army's thoughts. Tanks cannot drive into the water, and the current Long Yan fleet is concentrating its firepower on attacking Quebec City.

It is indeed difficult for Long Yan's army to cross such natural dangers as rivers under the current conditions.

After all, the ferry crossings between various rivers have been occupied by the British army.

But the British army forgot that their opponent was the Long Yan Army and Ling Chen!

This general is closest to Liu Zheng in his thinking.

I have already thought of a response plan.

"Since the British army won't let us cross the river, let's bury them in this river."

Ling Chen looked at the bird picture of York Town.

The river that surrounds Yorktown is a tributary of the Mississippi River.

Meandering like a dragon, I heard from locals that this river often gets into trouble during the flood season.

Therefore, dikes were built on both sides of the river, but now these dikes are being built higher and higher, and the water level of the river is already very high.

And once these dykes are destroyed, even the town of York, which is built on high ground, will turn into a marshland in an instant!

But now to implement this plan, Ling Chen is waiting for a message!

A message from Bonaparte!

After Bonaparte captured General Barry's fortress, he completely blocked the British army's retreat.

Once the embankment collapses, it will become the main battlefield.

The British army with nowhere to go can only retreat from there, and that fortress will become the main battlefield of this war!

"Report, General Bonaparte fought with the enemy for three days and three nights, injuring eight thousand enemies and five thousand himself, and finally captured the fortress!"

Ling Chen, who was sitting on the wooden chair, suddenly opened his eyes and shot out a ray of light!

Everything is ready to begin!

"Assemble the army and dispatch!"

"Yes." The soldier's order was quickly conveyed to all units.

The Long Yan Army, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately set out. They had been waiting for this moment for too long.

Although Bonaparte's battle was an extremely important beginning in this battle, the real tough battle was the one Long Yan's army was going to fight.

It is impossible for the British army not to know what Ling Chen knew.

And according to their investigation, Marshal William ambushed strong troops around the embankment this time, even if these troops will face a battle with Longyan tanks.

General William will not sit still and wait for death!

At this moment, the British army near the embankment was already waiting for the arrival of the Longyan Army.

And Commander William will personally lead the team to guard this place!

It is bound to intercept the Long Yan Army here and force them to attack by force.

Only in this way will the Longyan Army's casualties be maximized, and Britain will also get more negotiation conditions on the negotiating table!

"Cheer up!" a British captain shouted to his soldiers.

His face was extremely serious, and they all knew what kind of opponent they were going to face.

That's the Dragon Flame Army!

It is the most powerful force in the world now!

The soldiers were still a little timid: "Captain, can we defeat the Longyan Army?"

"With this little military salary, is it necessary to work so hard?"

The captain took a breath of cold air and exhaled slowly: "I don't know if it's necessary. I can't figure out the psychology of the upper-class people."

"But for sure, it's all for the honor of Britain!"

"Stand guard, and if anything happens, report it directly!"

After the captain finished speaking, he turned and left.

Henry, the British soldier who stayed behind, was still thinking about what the captain said. He came from a small British village and didn't understand what colonization was.

I don’t know what war is.

I came here entirely because of the good treatment given by Britain. His military salary was enough to pay a big family in the village for a month's hard work.

This could greatly improve his family situation.

But after coming to the battlefield, he saw dead people and began to reflect on whether this was the right thing to do.

It turns out that war kills people.

He has seen his teammates being reduced to ashes by a cannonball on the battlefield, and he has also seen the huge weapons of the Dragon Flame Army on the battlefield crushing them into a mass of dead people!

Such a scene once made him uncomfortable.

From coming to the battlefield for money in the beginning, he has now become fighting to return home alive.

He didn't understand why the general was fighting a battle that seemed certain to be lost.

Apart from sending people to die in vain, what else can we do?

Henry didn't know the answer, so he asked his comrades, who told him what interests it might be for.

He asked the captain, but he didn't know either.

Henry didn't continue to ask anyone else. He didn't know the answer anyway. He just wanted to go home.

He returned to the vicinity of the outpost and looked at everything around him with great vigilance.

Everywhere on the battlefield is dangerous, but such an open post is the easiest to be discovered and killed by the enemy.

The only value of their death is to warn their troops that enemies are coming from ahead.

At this moment, Henry saw a figure suddenly flashing through the woods. He didn't know what it was.

"Hey, York, did you see anything go by in the jungle just now?"

York glanced at the jungle and saw nothing in the dark jungle. He said casually: "Don't worry, there is nothing here."

"I heard that those Dragon Flame Army are like ghosts sometimes."

"Killing people is very fast, I'm worried..." Henry shuddered and grabbed his musket tightly.

Looking around nervously.

York laughed and said mockingly: "You are really timid, don't worry, nothing will happen to you."

"Our luck won't be that bad."

However, as soon as these words were spoken, a gunshot suddenly rang out!

York was so frightened that he jumped, and Henry quickly grabbed his musket.

But no one died and nothing happened in their field of vision.

The captain who heard the gunfire immediately led his troops and twelve people rushed over, but did not find anything unusual.

He looked at the two people, one who was extremely nervous and the other who was shivering and completely at a loss, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on!"

"No, I don't know!" York said tremblingly.

The captain looked at Henry: "What about you, can you tell me what happened?"

Henry looked at his captain, his eyes confused, but he quickly recovered his senses and recalled: "Just now I saw something flashing in the jungle, and then suddenly there was a gunshot."

"I don't know anything else."

The captain looked at the people gathered. There were three sentry posts in the area they were responsible for, but there were only two people now, so where was the other person?

Something bad suddenly arose in the captain's heart: "Where is Toby?"

Only then did the two people realize that after the gunshot, Toby, who was a secret whistle, did not issue a warning.

"Come with me!"
