Christmas Eve of 1781 was not destined to be peaceful, after several years of war on the North American continent was finally coming to an end, the hope of independent North American Continental Army with 20,000 French volunteers, 10,000 Spanish volunteers as the main force, plus 20,000 Continental Army and 5,000 Chinese Federation Volunteers as a supplement, a total of nearly 50,000 troops gathered here, ready to fight a decisive battle with the 40,000 British Expeditionary Force, nearly 100,000 troops on both sides were located in the east and west sides of Saratoga City separated by 10 kilometers for confrontation.

General Montgomery, commander of the British Expeditionary Force before the start of Armageddon, summoned the commanders of the various units for the final pre-war mobilization.

After the intelligence officer first briefed the two sides, General Montgomery stepped up to the podium and said loudly: " Ladies and gentlemen, the primary enemy of our army in this decisive battle is not the traitors in North America, but the French and Spaniards who help those traitors, those so-called volunteer armies are all the regular armies of these two countries, how about the combat effectiveness I believe everyone already knows very well, I won't say more here, as long as we can defeat or eliminate the French and Spaniards, then it means that this war will end in the victory of our army, therefore, the rise and fall of the imperial kingdom in this battle, please fight with all your strength for Her Majesty the Empress!"

"God bless my emperor!"

At 9:30 a.m., the sun was obscured by dark clouds that had been pressing for many days, and the armies of both sides left their respective barracks in a neat formation and assembled on the predetermined battlefield.

At ten o'clock, the British Expeditionary Force and the Continental Army were each lined up, and from the sky, the two sides of the battle had been connected as basic units, forming several battle lines about 10 kilometers long one by one, and the atmosphere of solemnity enveloped the entire battlefield, many soldiers were wet with sweat and clothes because of nervousness, even in the cold weather, no one dared to speak except for the shouts of the heralds and the whistling sound of the wind, and there was a strange silence on the battlefield temporarily.

Ouyang Yu, who was in the rear as the commander of the general reserve, held a telescope to observe the situation on the opposite side, her 23rd Brigade was the killer weapon of the British army, and General Montgomery had high hopes that she would never enter the battle until the critical moment.

"No matter how much time has passed, no matter how advanced technology is, human beings are always so stupidly keen to kill each other. C.C., who was standing on Ouyang Yu's left hand side and wearing a red British military uniform, let out her own taunt, she was now Ouyang Yu's female guard.

Putting down the binoculars, Ouyang Yu glanced at her and said, "Everything can't escape evolution, The word competition, our human ancestors defeated other species in the process of evolution, standing at the top of the pyramid of the earth's biological chain, but the evolutionary factors buried deep in the genes did not win and disappeared, because there was no natural enemy, the human race began to kill between the same kind, from the small individual to the country, in order to get more resources, the weak country was annexed and became the powerful nourishment of other countries, and in this endless struggle, all aspects of human beings have been greatly improved, and war has promoted science and technologyThe rapid development of society and humanity, and this development has further increased the intensity and scale of war, and then war in turn has further promoted the development of human beings more rapidly, and the cycle will never stop, so war is the best catalyst for human evolution. ”

"War is the best catalyst for human evolution?" c.c savored Ouyang Yu's words, "Can't humans end wars and live in peace?"

"It's hard, unless ....... ”

"Unless what?" C.C asked.

Ouyang Yu raised his head and pointed to the sky, "Unless there is a common enemy of all human beings, it is possible for human beings to be unified, but that is the beginning of another evolution." ”

"Enemies other than humans?" said C.C., looking at the sky.

Just when Ouyang Yu and C.C were talking, the battle began, under the command of General Montgomery, the British army launched the attack first, although the British army was at a disadvantage in numbers, but the high morale and well-trained soldiers made the British army's combat strength on par with the Continental Army, and the war was never about numbers, if this was the case, the war would not be so cruel, everyone could compare the number of people.

Accompanied by the sound of military music, the British soldiers approached the Continental Army in unison with the beat of drums, and the Continental Army also began to march, and the distance between the two armies became closer and closer.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom......!"

The first to sing the symphony of war is the artillery, the cannons of both sides shoot scorching shells at the soldiers of the other side, the soldiers in the advance do not dodge or dodge, each shell can take the lives of several or even a dozen soldiers, but the soldiers indifferently ignore the casualties of their comrades, and continue to move forward in the face of the dense shells.

"All of them...... Stop!"

The Continental Army stopped its advance first, and the soldiers raised their rifles at the order of their commanders.

"Aim...... Shoot!"

"Bang bang bang ......!"

White smoke enveloped the battle line of the Continental Army, and the British soldiers who continued to advance on the opposite side fell in rows, but the British soldiers who had trained their nerves like steel did not even blink their eyes, did not stop stepping over the corpses of their comrades and continued to advance.

"Aim...... Shoot!"

"Papa......!"

The second round of fire from the Continental Army wounded or killed more British soldiers, and after two rounds of fire, the British were already thirty meters away from the Continental Army.

"All of them...... Stop, gun up...... Aim....... ”

The Continental Army soldiers, who were struggling to reload, looked at the British soldiers who were close at hand in horror and raised their rifles to them.

"Shoot ......!"

"Papa......!"

Because of the close distance, the accuracy of the smoothbore guns skyrocketed, and the Continental Army soldiers who were killed and wounded were much more than the British soldiers killed and wounded in the first two rounds, and the fallen comrades in pieces frightened the Continental Army soldiers, and their morale began to drop.

"Bang bang bang ......!"

The third salvo of the Continental Army also caused a large number of British casualties, but the surviving British soldiers did not panic like the Continental Army soldiers, but calmly carried out the loading maneuvers, and then raised their rifles under the orders of the commander.

"Shoot!"

After several rounds of back and forth between the two sides, the Continental Army first couldn't stand such brutal casualties and collapsed, a large number of deserters appeared, and the whole front was immediately shaken, General Montgomery saw the opportunity to give the order to assault, and the British soldiers shouted and launched a surprise attack with bayonets.
