William didn't know what the Continental Army, which was guarding the governor's residence, was thinking. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info But of course, he doesn't really care too much about what these guys think. Because they will soon die.

The artillery units of the White Regiment got the news in the shortest possible time, and then unloaded their guns from the ship in the shortest possible time - before a number of small six-pounder guns had joined the street fighting, blasting barricades with flowering and shotgunfire, killing countless rebel members.

However, these light artillery pieces could not help the fortified governor's palace. Even with the original flowering bomb, it will not work.

"New gunpowder is also being intensively studied. At the same time, the mass production of rifled guns, as well as the study of tube-withdrawn guns, and the study of integrated ammunition are also intensively underway. I don't know when I'm going to be successful. But...... It's worth the wait. ”

Seeing one after another imitation of the pinnacle of bronze smoothbore guns in memory, the new twelve-pounder cannon made in the form of Napoleonic cannons, was pushed to the forefront by the artillerymen and their cattle, William couldn't help but have this thought in his heart: "These cannons, I'm afraid they will soon become obsolete, although in the eyes of the soldiers and generals who have fought for several lifetimes, these cannons are so advanced, and even a little too advanced." But...... Indeed, these guns are almost obsolete. ”

After the White Legion of the Hereford family had deployed their artillery in place, there was another commotion in the Governor's Palace. There seemed to be a faint burst of gunfire. William judged that most of the defenders in this fortress had regretted it at this moment. They hoped to be able to start a rebellion and then proceed to surrender...... It's just a pity that William doesn't want to give them this opportunity at all.

"The artillery is already for His Highness. "After directing the artillery to move to a suitable place for shelling, Lieutenant Colonel Hinton ran briskly in front of William, laughing and disdainful.

"You're a front-line commander, just give orders. William smiled and said.

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

"In times of war, call me General. William continued.

"Yes, General. ”

After that, things were lackluster. After concentrating thirty twelve-pounder Napoleon guns and forty dozen six-pounder small Napoleon guns, the victory of the White Army of the Hereford family was decided. Under the bombardment of nearly 100 guns, most of them equipped with flowering shells, the fortress was full of mourning. Very lethal to personnel. This overly "primitive" fortress is completely powerless in the face of flowering bullets.

After three successive rounds of shelling, Lieutenant Colonel Hinton ordered the shelling to stop, and four assault companies with bayonet guns on their backs and hook locks in their hands quickly moved forward, and quickly climbed up with their hooks and claws to frame the pheasant moat at the edge of the fort.

As the key object of care for the artillery, the parapet wall was naturally the most seriously damaged. After the assault company reached the city wall, it was seen that the city wall was covered with scraps of flesh and severed arms, and the remaining rebel soldiers were wailing loudly.

"Confirmed, the enemy shows no signs of resistance. The soldiers of the assault company pouted, then raised the signal flag at the head of the city, and used the flag to relay the message downward.

"There are not enough troops to garrison...... And he did not enter the hiding hole at the first time of the shelling and hid...... Sure enough, it's just a newbie. William thought to himself.

In this way, the gates of the fortress slowly opened. Amid the whispers of cheers and laughter from the White Legionnaires, the commandos captured the few remaining prisoners who could still move.

"Set up camp and rest. William had no interest in looking any further. The fate of these captives, he had made clear before—if it weren't for Savannah's lack of flagpoles, he would have had their corpses hung on them and flutter in the wind.

And just like that, the Battle of Savannah ended. The White Legion of the Hereford family, whose first war after landing in the New World, also ended. The Hereford family's army, which originally seemed to be "easy to deal with" and "never heard of", easily won the victory. This level of ease, the top and bottom of the White Corps did not consider it much more difficult than daily training.

According to the confession of the commander of the infantry battalion of the Continental Army, who had chosen to surrender, the Continental Army had been informed of their arrival a few days earlier.

"It's just that we didn't know what kind of army we were going to face before. We have also heard more or less about the Hereford family, the Russian kingdom. But no one cares. Because it's so far away from Savannah, it's so far from the New World. ”

The next day, when William saw the commander of the Continental Army again, he found that the bearded man was as decadent as he was. It was as if the whole person's spirit and spirit had been exhausted.

Last night, William vaguely remembered that this guy was a young man in his twenties, but when he looked at it now, he thought that this guy was at least forty years old. If it weren't for the belief that his soldiers wouldn't be fake, William would almost suspect that this guy had been dropped.

The commander of the Continental Army, who has lost his spirit, knows everything and says everything, almost no means, no threats, you ask him, he answers. Very honest.

"Who gave you information?" William didn't dwell on things like "we don't know" or "too far away." Instead, he asked the most important thing: "Where did you get the information that you knew we were coming here?"

"I don't know. The officer smiled wryly: "At the end of the day, I'm just a small character. The big guys won't tell me much. I didn't ask without permission. ”

Hearing him say this, William and Elise looked at each other and felt that this guy was not lying.

"Go on, the composition of your forces, your firepower, and the situation you control right now. William then said calmly.

"My army has been wiped out by you. Does it still make sense to say that?" said the Continental Army commander with a wry smile.

"It's up to me to judge whether it makes sense or not, you just have to answer the questions well. William replied calmly.

"Okay. Good...... We have concentrated two corps here. He said, "Thirteen or four thousand." It's all great lads. Half of them were veterans who followed General George from the beginning. The other half were recruited after the founding of the United States. ”

"Record what he said. William turned his head to look at the clerk. The latter was busy writing and drawing in the booklet.

Next, what the other party said was basically mastered by William...... Musketeers, artillerymen, pikemen. The weapons and equipment of these people are basically maintained at the average level of the human world, which is a generation and a half worse than the white army of the Hereford family. And the level of training is not very high, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong. Even in the case of street fighting in the city, with the help of the residents, and with the preset position, it was easily crushed by the White Army.

"But...... This doesn't quite prove anything either. William thought to himself.

"How many troops do you have in the docks?" said William.

"We laid out almost all the troops. The regiment replied with a wry smile, "The original plan was to deceive you and bring you to the garrison and disarm. Or they may take you hostage as a threat to force you to surrender. But...... In the end, it was a complete failure. ”

"It's not dishonorable at all!, you bastards!" Hearing him say this, the officer of the White Legion next to him couldn't help but cry out: "You want to treat a prince with such a scheme?!

After saying that, the guy seemed to want to rush over and punch the Continental Army officer. But he was stopped by someone else next to him. Seeing this, the Continental Army officer lowered his head. Didn't speak again.

"Alright, alright. Let this gentleman finish his sentence. William waved his hand.

"But, Your Highness—"

"—didn't you hear me?" William frowned, looking at him.

"No, your will. Seeing that William showed signs of dissatisfaction, the officer immediately fell silent.

"Very good," William nodded, and then thought to himself: "That is to say, the commander of the other side pinned his hopes on the conspiracy at the beginning, and after the conspiracy was exposed, he hoped to strike first...... It's sad. He even wanted to attack the battleship with infantry.

After the natural defeat, almost all the strength of the Continental Army was demoralized in an instant by the fire of the naval guns. That's why I was able to defeat them so easily in the next war. ”

"It's stupid. In the end, William made the judgment that if the defenders of Savannah could get out of the docklands and deploy layers of defenses in the city of Savannah, it would definitely cause more difficulties for the White Army of the Hereford family. Even, if they had concentrated their forces and chosen to fight on the outskirts of the city, the outcome would not have been as disastrous as it is now.

"What an idiot your general is. William shook his head.

"Oh, he's—" The officers of the Continental Army thought William was going to ask him the question. I was about to say it, but was interrupted by William:

"No, I'm not at all interested in who he is. William said, "A man like this is not qualified to make me remember my name." Let's talk about some more meaningful questions. Officer, are you a Briton, or are you a Goth, a new immigrant, or an old immigrant?"

"Uh......" Hearing William say this, the young officer was a little unable to react for a while. It wasn't until the officer of the White Regiment next to him urged him to answer:

"I'm a gothic, but my family has been here for four generations. ”
