In the starry night, when St. Sour Mary was caught in artillery fire, dozens of kilometers north of St. Sourmary, a unit quietly approached the river bank, and thousands of soldiers jumped out of the improvised dock, without saying a word, or even making a sound, and then marched directly to the east. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On this starry night, when the milky white fog covered the heavens and the earth, these warriors marched silently towards the east, and the whole team only made their footsteps as they marched, and even the sound of footsteps was slight.

"The title of the man, the hoof of the horse".

Only existing in the history books of the ancients of the way of fighting, this will appear on this battlefield unexpectedly, although not as stated in the history books that the soldiers must carry a copper coin, the hooves of the horses must be wrapped in thick cloth, but strict military discipline has been issued.

Anyone who speaks without authorization during the march will be subject to military law!

No one doubted this order, no one questioned its effectiveness, and it was clear to all that their actions were directly related to the victory of the battle.

Although none of the soldiers spoke, the sound of the marching kettle and the bayonet still echoed in the steppe, and because they marched in a trot, the sound of thousands marching was still extremely "harsh" on this night.

The march lasted several hours, and it was not until dawn that the exhausted warriors reached the shores of the lake, where at some point there were a few more improvised wooden trestles, and even the wood for their construction was cut from the nearby forests.

When they arrived at the lake, they immediately set off a light signal towards the lake, and soon responded from there. A few moments later, several American-flagged ships approached the pier.

"Get on board!"

It was only then that the silence was broken, and after an order was given, the tired and almost exhausted warriors stepped on the ships from the trestle, and after one ship was full of soldiers, they quickly departed, and then another came.

When the sky was completely bright, the last ship full of soldiers finally left the improvised dock, and it was only by this time that Frank, standing on the boat, breathed a sigh of relief and rowed a cross on his chest.

"God forbid!"

He prayed that everything would go well, because if everything went well, he would get a prize of 10,000 yuan, and nothing was more important to him than money.

Although he had acquired many ships for the army, St. Sourmarie was located between two lakes, making it impossible for the army to enter Lake Huron from the lake without conquering it. Sometimes, money is everything~!

At this time, money came into play, buying boats on Lake Huron, then the troops landed, and after a short march, they re-boarded on the shores of Lake Huron!

This solution can solve the problem, as long as there is enough money, and for the 167th Division, they may have such and such shortcomings in North America, but they are extremely sufficient in terms of funds, not only do they have military funds allocated by the military department, but even the financial support of enterprises - North American companies are all about financing their operations, and these ships are also purchased with the money of North American companies, of course, temporarily lent to the army.

One of the most fundamental reasons why the North American company supported them was that the North American company knew very well that if the 167th Division lost, they would lose everything, but if the 167th Division won and they defeated the British, then the entire British North America would become a Chinese colony, and as the earliest pioneer, the North American company would get more benefits than people imagined. Saltwater Port will become the first stop for Chinese people to enter North America, and he will become the New York of Chinese!

It is precisely because they know the stakes that North American companies are willing to support the army's operations, and with their support, An Guotao can use the Jin Yuan offensive without scruples and use the Jin Yuan to solve all problems. And then there was his current "surprise attack!" ”

"General, this battle will definitely be written into military textbooks all over the world!"

Frank looked at An Guotao on the ship and said admiringly, maybe he was not a soldier, but he knew very well what those British would be shocked when this army appeared in Toronto.

"The British probably never dreamed that you would be in Toronto like this! I don't think even Napoleon could have planned such a surprise attack! ”

In the face of Frank's sycophancy, An Guotao knew that if he was allowed to continue, he didn't know that he would praise himself even more exaggeratedly, so he used a gesture to stop him and said in a light tone.

"It's just a tactical trick!"

Although he said this, the smug look on his face could not be concealed, and perhaps he could say these words very calmly. But. Inner pride and pride. But it is impossible to hide that he has studied the topography of Canada more than once since a few years ago. It has even been in the back of my mind countless times. "Staff exercises" have been conducted again and again against the terrain of Canada.

Even though he had taken off his military uniform by then, it did not prevent him from setting his sights on Canada, and after the outbreak of the war, although the company and the Hudson's Bay Company. A secret agreement was signed, but as the commander of the defense forces, he had even begun to plan a staff trip.

Through a staff trip, find out the defense of Canada as well as the terrain. Of course, the change in the situation did not give him time for this staff trip. Even if he had planned to make up a city of Indians.

Sudden orderYes, he could only plunge into this war in relative haste, but the homework he had done before made up for this haste to the greatest extent.

Like this surprise attack, he knew that there was the Holy Book Mari between the two great lakes. Unless he knocked down the fortress, he would not have been able to transport his troops to Toronto's feet by water.

But it's not like there's no other option. Land marches can be changed to water routes. And vice versa, as long as he can solve the problem of ships, then he will be able to transport the army to Toronto.

The ship is easy to deal with, as long as you have the money, you can buy enough boats, and thanks to the company's support, this is not a problem at all.

The only question is, what about the army guarding Toronto?

How to mobilize the army in Toronto. This is the biggest problem An Guotao has faced from the beginning until now. Eventually, the way.

Let the British themselves transfer the troops!

In order to achieve this goal, he deliberately created an atmosphere that gave the British time to reinforce Saint-Sumarie and time to strengthen the defenses here.

She did this because she knew that the British had a limited number of troops. If they wanted to hold there, they would need to draw troops from other areas. Compared to St. Sumare, which is defended by Friends Fortress, Toronto has no forts at all, and even the terrain is not conducive to defense.

In the end everything worked fine, just as he expected. While he was there, let the troops practice how to conduct a landing operation. Hank saw an opportunity, and he continued to send reinforcements to St. Sumary, but Hank was still very cautious. At first he did not move, Toronto's army. But in the end, he could not resist the desire for victory, especially after discovering that the Chinese army was not poisonous, and he saw the possibility of defeating the Chinese army at Saint-Sourmary.

But who would have thought that everything was just deliberately shown in front of Hank by An Guotao?

"Alright, it's all done!"

An Guotao pondered silently, his eyes looked at Lake Huron, it only takes one day for the army to arrive in Toronto, what will be the reaction of the people there at that time?

As the initiator of all this. An Guotao was eager to know Hank's expression, of course, but it was just the beginning. There's still a whole day to worry about.

"Order the fleet to be as careful as possible. Also pay attention to the surface of the lake! ”

Although An Guotao is not a naval officer. Didn't even know anything about naval warfare, but as an army officer. But he knew the importance of concealment. Especially at this time.

Under his orders, the officers all stood by the boat with binoculars, searching the surface of the lake, and they did not miss a single movement. For them, now any ship has the potential to leak their whereabouts. Because of this, they intercept all ships they encounter during their voyage.

As had been expected, during the voyage they encountered several civilian ships sailing on Lake Huron, and without incident, they were all detained, each with at least one platoon of fighters, who warned the crew and captain of the ship with loaded guns.

"My God, shouldn't they be in St. Samie? Has it already fallen? ”

Jack looked at the Chinese on the boat and said nervously.

"They are Chinese, they are Chinese. They will kill us! ”

Old Tom kept muttering there, as if to him the Chinese were like those barbaric natives. It is possible to scalp them and take their lives at any time.

Just when old Tom was pale, talking to himself. An officer walked up to him. He smiled at Old Tom.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't try to escape, no one will kill you!"

The officer's fluent English made Jack and the others feel a little surprised, and at the same time, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, since you have come to Lake Huron. So, has Saint-Sourmarie already fallen? ”

Jack asked, looking at the officer a little nervously. His good friend was there, and he was eager to hear from his good friend.

"Saint-Sourmary?"

The officer looked at the crew member and smiled.

"And what do you think?"

"You must have conquered it, I know ......"

Jack said with some annoyance,

"I can't beat you in Ireland, and there's certainly no way to stop your attack here, really, why do we have to fight? If you can't beat you at all, you still want to fight? ”

Jack's words aroused the favor of the officers. For them, that's the best compliment.

"If everybody thinks like you. Well, I don't think there will be any war. ”

If the whole world feels that it is not China's opponent. Naturally, there will be no more wars, and China will not need to use the means of war to get what it wants.

"Those old men in Toronto will be shocked if they see you......"

"Aren't we also taken aback?"

The crew were talking about it, and they could even imagine what kind of chaos the city would fall into when these Chinese appeared in Toronto.

There has been no response, at least for the citizens of Toronto. The war seems to be very distant. Even today, a banquet was taking place in the Doge's Palace, and the ladies of Toronto's upper class, as in the past, wore their most colorful costumes, and showed off their wealth to the people around them, most of them from Paris.

And for men, there is always only one topic they talk about...... War. But now they have no fear of war. Because they, with the exception of those who saw victory.

"Gentlemen, what was the most feared thing about the Chinese in the past? It's poison gas! ”

The officer with a champagne glass in his hand said triumphantly.

"Our biggest concern for a long time was their poison gas. Those despicable Chinese will always use poison gas to harm British warriors when they are not expecting. Perhaps our warriors can defeat them on the battlefield. But it has to be a decent fight. Poison gas, this is clearly not a dignified way of fighting. Gentlemen, have you ever heard of a duel with poison gas? ”

The officer was clearly looking for an excuse for the previous defeat of the British army. He even danced there to describe a duel between two men gassed.

"You think about it, two people are there to duel with poison gas, and they are constantly gassing each other. How ridiculous that scene would be. ”

His imitation caused a burst of laughter there, and indeed it was a very ridiculous scene. The women, in particular, looked at the young officer with sparkling eyes. Everyone seemed to be drawn to his humor.

"Now that they are no longer gassed, we are here to fight them in a dignified manner, in St. Sourmary, gentlemen and ladies, believe that soon we will need to rejoice here for the victory of St. Sourmary!"

Just as the officer was offering a toast to St. Sumary's British troops, a herald hurried in, ran straight to General Hank, and handed him a letter.

Although people didn't know what was written in the letter, everyone saw that General Hank's face changed completely when he saw the letter.
