In the face of the pursuit of the Ming cavalry, the French soldiers who threw away the flintlock pistols in their hands and all the loads on their bodies could not even make any resistance.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

When some of the fleeing French soldiers were shot with rifles by the pursuing Ming cavalry, the remaining French soldiers were extremely desperate, knowing that it was impossible to escape the pursuit of the cavalry, and finally had to surrender to the Ming army on a large scale.

After the First World War, the Ming army, which had just entered the border, annihilated 20,000 French soldiers defending the border.

"Keep attacking!" After annihilating the 20,000 French troops on the border, Yan Yingyuan continued to attack the Ming army north, aiming directly at Ottawa, the old nest of the French colonies in Canada.

The number of French immigrants in the Canadian colonies was much worse than that of the British in the thirteen states of North America, and there were only about 200,000 French immigrants in Canada, and there were less than 30,000 French troops.

The pattern of the French and Canadian colonies is not much different from the thirteen North American states of the United Kingdom, and there are only a few castles, most of which are mainly manors.

The French had less than 50,000 colonial troops in Canada, and now 20,000 have been wiped out by the Ming army on the border, so there are less than 30,000 French troops in the entire Canadian colony, and most of them are still gathered in the area of Ottawa City.

In the face of the Ming army's attack, most of the resistance was the French immigrants in the estate.

However, although the French immigrants in the manor had a few muskets, they could only defend against the attacks of the natives of the Indians, and had bullied and bullied the black slaves on the manor, and they had no ability to resist in the face of the attack of tens of thousands of powerful Ming troops.

The Ming army attacked very quickly, and many manors did not even have time to receive the news of the Ming army's attack, and when the Ming army appeared in front of them, they had no time to escape, and they were either shot or captured by the Ming army.

Because the Ming army attacked too quickly, when the Ming army was less than forty miles away from Ottawa, the Marquis of Orlang, the French and Canadian governor in Ottawa, received the news that the Ming army was attacking their Canada.

"Nope! That's impossible! Isn't the Ming army going to attack my Canada, why did it suddenly attack again after three months! The Marquis of Orlang looked panicked.

Anger and despair!

The Ming army did not move for more than three months, and the Marquis of Orlang had been comforting himself that the Ming army was not interested in them Canada, and even refused to form a five-nation alliance army to take the initiative to counterattack the Ming army in order to avoid actively stimulating the Ming army.

But now, the Ming army still launched an attack on them Canada, and it was a thunderous blow!

"I should have thought of it a long time ago! My God! "Marquis Orlang regretted that he had not been at the beginning, and he knew that he should not have given up forming a five-nation alliance army to take the initiative to counterattack the Ming army for the sake of not stimulating the Ming army.

Now, the Ming army is attacking them Canada, and they are the only ones in the north, and his French army in Canada alone obviously has no possibility of resisting the Ming army's attack, especially when the 20,000 troops on the border have been completely annihilated by the Ming army.

"Lord Marquis, the latest information! The Ming army has already attacked the Ottawa River and is preparing to cross the river, and the soldiers have also seen a large number of Ming cavalry on war horses, and it is impossible to estimate how many there are! A French soldier hurried in to report the latest information to Orlan!

"And cavalry!" Marquis Orlan's eyes widened, and he understood in an instant.

No wonder the speed of the Ming army's attack was so fast, it turned out that the Ming army also formed an iron cavalry! It seems that if there is not an Ottawa River blocking it, the Ming army is likely to kill directly to the city of Ottawa before getting the news of the Ming army's attack.

The Marquis of Orlang was even more desperate for a moment, the Ming army was already strong, and now it has formed a cavalry, once the Ming army crosses the river, they will not be able to resist the attack of the Ming army, and it is impossible to even escape, after all, their legs can't escape the four legs of the horses at all!

"Ottawa can't be saved, we must flee immediately while the Ming army is being in front of the river!" The Marquis of Orrand gritted his teeth, and soon made a decision, but he was also resolute, and he did not think of resisting, but directly abandoned Ottawa and fled.

However, speaking of which, the original Triple Alliance Army totaled nearly 120,000 troops were still defeated by the 40,000 Ming Army in the north and south, and now 50,000 Ming troops are attacking, and some are cavalry, and now Ottawa only has less than 20,000 colonial troops left, and it is impossible to resist the attack of the Ming army.

"Run! Run! Get on our ships and flee to South America, where only the formation of the Five-Power Alliance Army will be able to withstand the attack of the Ming army! ”

Immediately, the Marquis d'Orlang rushed out of his residence and soon fled with the French colonial army of Ottawa towards the harbor, where they had to board ships and leave before the Ming army could cross the Ottawa River.

In order to buy time for Orrand and other French troops to escape, three small French warships on the Ottawa River prevented the Ming army from crossing the river.

"Boom, boom, boom----" The sudden appearance of three French battleships opened fire on the Ming soldiers who were cutting down trees and making rafts to cross the river on the shore.

Although the three French battleships on the Ottawa River were not large, each of them was equipped with a dozen cannons.

Every time the cannon of the battleship on one side fired, the three battleships together, there were also more than twenty shells flying towards the Ming troops on the shore at one time.

The shells exploded on the shore, and no less than 10 Ming soldiers were killed by surprise.

Yan Yingyuan was also swept away by the blazing wave of one of the cannonballs, and he almost lost his footing.

"Look for death!" Yan Yingyuan was furious, stared at the three French battleships on the river and ordered: "Immediately order the artillery to destroy them!" ”

In fact, without Yan Yingyuan's order, the moment three French warships suddenly appeared on the river and opened fire on the Ming soldiers on the shore, they were already targeted by more than 200 Ming artillery cannons that were ready at all times.

"Boom, boom, boom----" More than 200 Ming artillery guns fired at the three French warships on the river.

The distance is not far, about a distance of more than 1,000 meters, at such a distance, coupled with the superb artillery skills of the Ming gunners, the hit rate of the shells is extremely high, more than 200 shells, there are about 40 French warships directly on the surface of the Ming army's river.

Under the violent explosion, the flames soared into the sky, sawdust flew everywhere, and the bodies of a large number of French soldiers on the battleship were blown into the river.

The entire hull of the two French battleships was directly shattered, and the wreckage of the battleship instantly began to sink into the river, and although the other French battleship was not directly blown up and sunk, it was also hit by six bullets, and most of the hull was blown up, and the hull was tilted, and it could not escape the fate of sinking.

However, the Ming army obviously did not intend to wait for this last battleship to sink slowly.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "About ten cannons continued to shell the French battleship.

The two shells hit the hull of the ship directly, and the wreckage of the warship, which was slowly sinking, was immediately shattered by the explosion and sank to the bottom of the river in an instant.

Without the three French warships to stop them, the Ming soldiers began to push the prepared rafts into the river and began to cross the river.

Although the river is only more than 200 meters wide, it is obviously impossible for 50,000 Ming soldiers to cross the river without half a day.

Of course, the Ming army attacking Ottawa did not require all 50,000 soldiers to cross the river.

The first to cross the river were the 100 Ming cavalry, who went to investigate the situation in Ottawa first, and then rushed towards the city of Ottawa after crossing the river.

And when these Ming cavalry who crossed the river arrived at the city of Ottawa, Ottawa was already an empty city, and the commander of the French army, the Marquis d'Orlang, had just fled in the direction of the coast with all the French soldiers in the city.

The cavalry quickly reported the news to Yan Yingyuan.

"You just ran away?" When Yan Yingyuan heard the news that the French army in Ottawa had abandoned the city and fled, his brows immediately furrowed, and his face was not good-looking.

The purpose of the army was to annihilate the French army in Canada, and naturally the French army could not be allowed to flee.

Yan Yingyuan ordered the cavalry of the Ming army who had already crossed the river to pursue and kill the fleeing French army first, and ordered them to hold off the fleeing French army, and after more troops crossed the river, the French army would be completely annihilated!
