To say that the British do not have much regular army in Canada, the main force of the Canadian Army is actually the local militia in Canada. Of course, the U.S. Army, in fact, in the eyes of Europeans, is basically just a militia. In terms of numbers, the number of people in the US Army is a little more, and it stands to reason that even if the US Army is low in level and is a rookie, it will not be easily given something by the Canadian Army. Even in the original history, before the arrival of British reinforcements, the U.S. Army had a clear upper hand.

"Why are these Yankees so stupid!" In a lavishly furnished office at the Louisiana Development Bank, the most luxurious and imposing building in New Orleans, Louis Bonaparte, the new chairman of the Louisiana Development Bank, was yelling, "Are the weapons and mercenaries we had for Canadians now going to be offered to those American fools?" ”

"Chairman, in fact, it's nothing to sell weapons and mercenaries to the Americans, isn't it the same?" Said a man dressed as a somewhat top-notch manager.

"Sergey, you're right, but things go beyond our expectations and always make people unhappy." Louis replied, "Besides, mercenaries shouldn't have to think about it now. The United States still has a population, not to this point. Moreover, the main problem of the US military is not morale, but ...... They are completely unaware that times have changed. But some of the atrocities committed by the British can be used as an excuse for us to intervene......"

Yes, the US military failed because they were really too behind the times. Unlike the Navy, the Navy has been educated by the French and has seen what the world's advanced level is all about. But the Army, then it's really dirt buns.

The U.S. Army hasn't fought much since the Revolutionary War. During the War of Independence, they actually didn't fight very well, and if it weren't for the fact that His Majesty Louis XVI later sold his head to aid the United States, it is really difficult to say what the war would have ended up in. During and after this war, the U.S. Army had only one example to follow, and that was the French Army. However, it was still the French Army in the era of queuing to be shot.

So to this day, the U.S. Army is still using the old-fashioned tactics of lining up to shoot, because they can't do anything else but this set of things. Even the queue to shoot them was not particularly skillful, because in order to save money in the United States, the size of the federal standing army has always been very small, and the state soldiers of each state, that is, later the National Guard, in essence, are militias, they are less trained, but they have much better weapons than the federal army.

And on the side of the British, the situation was completely different. The British, on the European continent, were beaten by the Bonaparte brothers. Although he was beaten to the point that he could only lie on the ground and call for his mother, he finally knew what the most advanced mode of war was like today. So they quickly put up a set of Joseph defenses. And then what? And then the American buns simply did not understand how dangerous Joseph's defense was.

The American army, commanded by General William Hull, lined up, beat the drums, and strode a brave attack on Amhersteburg, where the British army was stationed, and then, and then there was no more.

In short, the stupid Yankees were overridden by the insidious British with mines, shrapnel, barbed wire, anti-infantry directional mines, and then collapsed. fate

In fact, it was just the failure of this attack, although it failed a bit miserably, but seriously, there were not many people who died. Because the total number of people who invested in the first wave of shock was about 2,000. Although the two thousand or so people were beaten by the British, at least more than half of them died, but compared to the total number of troops on both sides, more than 1,000 people died is actually not too much.

But these people were all killed in front of everyone's eyes, almost instantly. The efficiency of the British in killing these people was so high that the American troops who saw this scene were stupefied.

The U.S. Army, which was dominated by state soldiers, had a flaw very similar to that of the Vendée rebels of the time, that is, if they were fighting in their own homeland, they had high morale, and if they were fighting elsewhere, their morale would drop as fast as the water of Niagara Falls if they were defeated. To put it more simply, the U.S. Army was plunged into self-doubt after this heavy blow, and its morale was almost on the verge of collapse.

So Isaac, who commanded the British army (which was also mostly Canadian, in fact). General Bullock took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, using grenade shells that the Americans were not familiar with and the tactics of skirmishers, and directly crushed the sluggish and chaotic American troops. General William Hurl fled into Detroit with the remnants of his army, but was pursued by the British along the way, suffering heavy casualties and scattering his troops. When they finally entered Detroit, there were less than a thousand troops still with General William Hull.

The British army continued to march towards Detroit. The citizens of Detroit have taken up arms and prepared to defend their city. Detroit is close to Canada, Louisiana. Here, Canadians, Americans, and German-speaking Frenchmen, as well as all sorts of Indians, will call around if there is anything to do. So the residents of Detroit in this era were still predominantly white people with strong martial virtues. Almost everyone who lives here has more than one gun.

Therefore, under the call to "defend the city", in just one day, more than 4,000 armed Detroit citizens joined the ranks of "resisting British aggression".

However, the evil British did not attack the city of Detroit directly, but shelled the city of Detroit using white phosphorus incendiary bombs.

I don't know if it's because of the butterfly effect, the fire that should have swept the whole of Detroit last year didn't happen. So Detroit at this time is still the same Detroit that has not experienced post-disaster reconstruction. In other words, Detroit is still the same Detroit that grew out of the natural nature of the leather market, without artificial urban planning, with narrow streets, haphazard wooden houses everywhere, and huge fire hazards.

Such a city is too good for arson. So the British (Canadians) fired an arson, and Detroit burst into flames. And it's not the same as the Detroit fire in its original history. Although the fire eventually swept through the whole of Detroit, because there was only one fire point, the speed of fire expansion was limited, so most people still had time to escape. Although the whole of Detroit was burned down in the historic fire, only a warehouse and a brick chimney remained, (which is the last remaining part of the city founded by the French.) Detroiters also painted them on Detroit's flag. But there weren't many people who burned to death.

But this time it's a different story. The British dropped tens of thousands of tinder in the shelling, covering the entire city. The whole city was on fire almost in the blink of an eye, so the people in the city didn't have time to evacuate. Exactly how many casualties the fire caused has been debated, but even the lowest estimates put the number at no less than 9,000 and the largest number at more than 20,000. Of course, the British thought this figure was too exaggerated, because Detroit didn't have that much of a population.
