Chapter 121: The curtain has come down

The British's charge was very futile, they simply could not get close to the thirty-meter distance of Zhao Hongyu's team.

Although the flintlock pistol is very ancient, at the request of Zhao Hongyu, the barrel of the flintlock pistol was rifled, which greatly improved the accuracy of shooting.

Compared with the old-fashioned arquebus, Zhao Hongyu and the flintlock pistols they used were at least 100 years ahead of this era.

In addition to the previous landing, the artillery that had been bombarded for half an hour in advance had already destroyed the sharpness of the British. So when the brave warriors also fell, the British completely collapsed.

As Zhao Hongyu and his army marched, the British began to flee the area they had occupied, fleeing to the forest to the south.

And the Indians who were vassals to them ran away as soon as possible.

"Steady the queue and watch out for the wings! Slow ahead! ”

Song Hu and the others shouted at the top of their voices and gave orders.

Zhao Hongyu looked at the camp of the British.

"Chief, are we going into the camp of the British?" , Wang Shan asked loudly at this time.

Zhao Hongyu said: "Chelsea went to clean up the remnants of the British camp and we continued to hunt down the British, but remember to stay in formation. Now that the British have been routed, it is a good opportunity to force them out of this area.

Taking advantage of the fact that they are fundamentally unable to organize an effective defense, they will certainly be able to expand the results of the war.

Chelsea took the order and led his 200 genetic warriors into the burning camp and began to purge the British who had not had time to escape.

Song Hu, Wang Shan, and Lamour, on the other hand, each took their soldiers and began to pursue the collapsed British troops according to Zhao Hongyu's orders.

Half an hour of artillery bombardment was not in vain, and sure enough, the morale of the British was destroyed.

The present British are like lost dogs, running all the way through the forest in fear, for fear that they themselves will fall into the hands of the enemy in the rear.

Coupled with their lack of effective command, this time it was even more chaotic.

Wang Shan, on the other hand, hung unhurriedly in the back, and when they met a lone person, they would serve with flintlock pistols.

After a short pursuit, Wang Shan and the others turned back.

After all, it was already the middle of the night, and Wang Shan and the others were also worried that they would encounter some unexpected situations.

After Wang Shan and they returned, Zhao Hongyu pointed to the British camp and said, "Let's rest, I estimate that the enemy may retreat to the Great Plains along the way." ”

Easily defeated the British, who occupied the Moxie dry tribe, Zhao Hongyu's confidence in his team increased a lot.

Nothing was said all night

By the early morning of the next day, the improvised camp had been reduced to rubble.

Zhao Hongyu When the sun rose over the horizon, they set off in the direction of the Great Plains.

On the British camp, the sailors on the Galen ship who stayed behind were asked to send dozens of people from each ship to clean up.

And he ordered someone to notify the black bear on Manhattan Island, and asked him to bring people to station.

Before leaving, Zhao Hongyu bought a large number of bricks and stacked them in piles outside the ruins through the space-time trader.

As long as there are people, then construction can be started.

Among the genetic people cultivated by Zhao Hongyu, there are many people who understand simple house construction techniques. So at this time, they come in handy, and they can show their skills.

He had already told the civil builders about the plan for the place, and he had drawn the drawings within a month's time.

To put it simply, a small town will be built here in a short period of time, as well as a castle with strong defenses. In this way, Zhao Hongyu will be able to firmly control this area. …,

After the war is over, they can slowly integrate the surrounding tribal populations through the expansion of trade again. At the same time, combined with the advantage of the number of genetic people, there is no one who can shake their position in this region.

At that point, it was entirely feasible to form a country of hundreds of thousands of people, based on the area of Manhattan and New York. And he, Zhao Hongyu, can rightfully become His Majesty, instead of blowing it like he is now.

Although there are not many people on the black bear's side, the elite warriors of more than 500 people can still be used.

If you don't let them fight, it's always okay to build a house.

The old and weak on Manhattan Island are useless, and Zhao Hongyu is not scumbag enough to use those women and children to do labor. So they still honestly graze cattle and sheep on the island and reclaim the land.

And those Indian slaves have been released by Zhao Hongyu, making them the people under his rule. These women were assigned to some Mohicans, or genetics became their wives.

The British captives, with the exception of a few women, became slaves.

The black bear will take them back to the land that originally belonged to Mohican, and use the blood and sweat of these British slaves to achieve the necessary construction of Zhao Hongyu's future kingdom.

'Chelsea's luck is really good, much better than Li Caifeng and his men.

After leaving the original Mohican camp, Zhao Hongyu and the others set out on their way to the plains. On the way, Wang Shan whispered something to Zhao Hongyu.

"Well, indeed. The luck of this guy at Chelsea is indeed good, but the luck of Li Caifeng and his grandfather is not so good. ”

Hearing Wang Shan mention the two of them, Zhao Hongyu's heart was not very good.

Although Li Caifeng is a little brainless, she likes Europeans and Americans, and even fans of Europe and the United States, what can he say. It's just that the unlucky Li Caifeng and the guy he chose contracted the epidemic when smallpox was epidemic, and they both died before Zhao Hongyu came back.

It's not pitiful, it's not pity, but Zhao Hongyu's heart is really a little uncomfortable.

"Don't mention that." , Zhao Hongyu said. "Do you think the British will cease war with us?"

Although Zhao Hongyu can let the war continue, it will not benefit him to fight a long war now.

Therefore, the British took the initiative to armistice so that he could get a favorable time for development.

"It's hard to say." , Wang Shan replied after thinking for a while. "We've destroyed a lot of their settlements in Virginia and caused them a lot of damage. So the British must hate us to the core, and a truce is somewhat unlikely. ”

"But it's not without a chance, after all, if we make such a fuss, there will be problems with their logistical supply. With the supply of so many people, if they could not supply it, the war would not be able to continue. ”

Zhao Hongyu slowly groaned and said, "But the problem is that from the time we entered Virginia to the time we returned to Manhattan to deal with the epidemic, we didn't find any problems with their supplies." ”

Wang Shan smiled bitterly and said, "There are many prey nearby, they can hunt." ”

Zhao Hongyu suddenly realized, he said that in two months, the other party has not had a shortage of supplies. It turns out that this is the case, and it seems that the abundance of products on the American continent is sometimes not a good thing.

"In that case, we'll fight them until there's a truce."

Wang Shan nodded: "Other than that, we have no other way." ”

Just as Zhao Hongyu and them were marching, the remnants of the British on the Great Plains began to gather.

The attack in the middle of last night really caused them heavy losses.

Countless supplies were destroyed, and they fled with nothing. …,

At the same time, arquebuses and gunpowder were also scrapped in the fire, and they now had no weapons except for some cold weapons.

Some die-hard Indians also began to come to the Great Plains.

After half a day of sorting, now the ranks of the British are only more than three thousand people.

Many of the Indian tribes crossed the plains directly into Virginia and returned to their tribes, and the British had lost more than half of their soldiers in the shelling of the previous night.

This made William, as the interim governor, feel very hesitant.

Should we retreat or not?

Now he has some headaches.

Judging by the enemy's military situation last night, it is impossible for them to be opponents at all.

The opponent's muskets are very sharp, and at the same time, the use of tactics is more powerful and powerful than that of the Mohicans.

On the European continent, this can be regarded as a strong army.

Therefore, it is simply not something that these people can deal with.

At the same time, they are far from their homeland, and reinforcements cannot be counted on at all. And on Virginia's side, there aren't many reinforcements to send.

The people they have left now are already the essence of the Virginia region. If you continue to fight with the enemy here, then how will you suppress the Indians in Virginia in the future?

After much thought, the temporary prefect named William gave the order to withdraw to Virginia.

In this way, the British withdrew from the area before Zhao Hongyu and the others arrived. This also gave the British a little respite, and also gave Zhao Hongyu a long period of development.

When Zhao Hongyu and the others came to the Great Plains, they did not find any trace of the enemy.

After some investigation, Zhao Hongyu learned that all the British had evacuated.

After getting the news, Zhao Hongyu immediately ordered to return to the army.

He is not brain-dead enough to fight the British for turf right now, what he needs now is a stable and peaceful development time.

Just give him time, and everything can be coped with in the future.

Since the British retreated on their own initiative, there was no need for him to continue the pursuit.

After this war, if the British want to go to war, they will have to wait until at least next year. And by this time next year, his strength will not be what it is now.

Thus came to an end as the 'First Golden War'.

During the war, the Moxi tribe was quite large at any time and integrated into the 'Song' empire.

The British, on the other hand, lost more than half of their troops, and brought with them some Indian warriors from vassal tribes.

Due to the loss of British forces, which led to a weakening of their control over Virginia, the Indians they suppressed began to stir up for a while (to be continued).
