Chapter 1013: Freedom, Liberation, and Alliance
In the northeast of Dongzhou, in the southeast of the Three Lakes, at the confluence of the Three Rivers, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, and the fleur-de-lis of the French royal family is still flying in the sky over Fort Yuken [1]. The Redwoods Army from Britain and the militias of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia retreated from the battlefield, exhausted and in despair.
"General Ferbes, if the main army is not sent from the mainland, our Pittsburgh plan will fail. The French will stand firmly here, like iron pincers, choking the throats of our thirteen states! ”
The commander of the First Virginia Army, the thirty-year-old young colonel George Washington, complained to the commander of the coalition forces, Major General George Ferbes of the British Army.
"Don't you colonial militia boast of being able to rival the British Army? What are the results? Tramps, drunkards, thieves and anarchists, not even the Indians who are attached to the French! Colonel Washington, I wish you and your colonies were a third of the ability to provoke wars when it came to winning wars! ”
Ferbes mercilessly ridiculed the young hero of Virginia, who, in his opinion, was the best representative of the Thirteen States, who were greedy and shameless, idiots who only knew how to get into trouble.
The conflict between France and Britain over the territories in North America has never stopped, but it has been dominated by sporadic stronghold warfare. In the interest of expanding the colonies to the west, London and the thirteen states were identical. But in practice, London gradually lost its dominance.
The inertia of the history of Europa and North America pushed the tide step by step, and despite the difference in time, the North American Indian War preceded the European War, and the original cause came from Mr. Washington.
Monsieur Washington recklessly attacked the French legations during his attack on the French forts in the Ohio Valley, and his Indian allies brutally murdered and scalped the envoys, leading to the war between Britain and France in North America before the Great European War.2
Ferbes's taunts were only vented. Now he is in the same boat with Washington and the militias of the thirteen states, and the North American Indian War has become part of a global war, and he can only fight to the end. He was tasked with capturing Fort Yuken. Located in the lower reaches of the Ohio River, the fort not only controls the waterways of the Ohio, Monongahilla, and Allegheny rivers, but also pierces the westward path of the northern Thirteen States.
Unlike the other plane, where the local Pennsylvanian colonists easily captured Fort Yucken, the French, together with the Indians, repaired the fort and stockpiled a large amount of ammunition and forage. Ferbes's strategy of capturing the fort with a small British army and a large number of colonial militia was almost shattered.
"Reinforcements...... We need reinforcements, Mr. Washington, to mobilize your Indian allies! ”
Ferbes's order was Washington's nightmare, pacing back and forth in his tent, fidgety. The Indians attached to the thirteen states have been mobilized, where to find more reinforcements?
"George, there is a force of men looking for the British commander, and they say they are allies of the British."
His Indian friend. The Tuscarora leader from the Iroquois Confederacy reported the news, and when he asked about the origin of the group, the Indian chief's expression was very confused: "They said they were Americans. United Arab Emirates, well, that's the words. But I could see that many of them were Apache people from the southern part of the prairie, and Cherokee and Chinook Indians from the mountains further west, and the yellow-skinned people in the lead had never seen ......"...,
