324.Chapter 324: Failure or something

At the end of April, the Visigoths and the armies of Asturias entered Georgia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Then there was no scene of the officers and generals as they thought, and the toiling masses ate the pot pulp to welcome the king's division. This surprised them - shouldn't they be the liberators of the wise gods, the divine messengers who brought freedom to these untouchables?

Well, maybe that's a bit overdone. But Visigoth, Asturias, as well as the so-called American republics are allies, right. And the American Republic does have a knack for buying people's hearts. According to the information originally obtained by Visigoth, these rebels have firmly grasped the hearts of the mob in the colonies of the New World, the thirteen states.

Therefore, the officers and generals of the coalition forces assumed that when they conducted war games, they would be welcomed by the locals.

It's just bad, wargames are generally different from reality.

Or rather, there is a very, very, very big discrepancy.

They were indeed warmly welcomed by the locals. Not only the colonists, but also the natives who were looked down upon by the generals and officers.

Whenever they approached a village, they were treated to arquebuses, improvised powder jars, bows and arrows, and crossbows. When marching on the road, you will be greeted by traps filled with hard wooden stakes, as well as bow and arrow traps arranged by various hunters, and upside-down traps.

In addition to that, there are those cold guns and arrows that lie in ambush in the grass, in the bushes, in the bushes, behind the rocks, and next to the dunes. Even the logistics troops would be harassed and attacked by hundreds, if not hundreds, of Iroquois cavalry. Although it did not cause much damage, it did slow down their march.

"What the hell is going on?!Why are we not welcome here?!" After a few days of entering Georgia, the coalition forces held their breath from top to bottom.

Although these small-scale harassments did not kill a few people, they made the nerves of the coalition forces tense up and down. Even the morale has dropped a lot.

This made the commander of the coalition forces, Count Warren, very unpleasant. The earl was so unhappy that the common people of Georgia below suffered from it. In front of the regular army, the guys are very poor in resistance.

With the connivance of Count Warren, the artillerymen brought in twelve-pounder infantry guns, blasted through the walls of the village, and then swarmed in, beginning the usual robbery, beeping, and killing.

Naturally, after this, their atrocities strained their relations with the locals.

The Georgian civilians, who understood the weakness of the senior forces, immediately changed their tactics of struggle, and the vast majority of the old and weak women and children were concentrated in remote areas, and then the young and middle-aged people formed guerrilla groups one by one. Some of the troops concentrated in Savannah, while others continued to operate there, looking for opportunities to strike at the coalition forces. As a result, the situation of the coalition forces becomes more passive.

"We don't have the time or the energy to play with the untouchables!" Count Warren gave a new order: "We must hurry up and go to Savannah, where we will defeat the main force of the combined forces of Briton and the Russians." In this way, we have completed our mission. Those mobs, riots, and other things, leave it to our allies to worry about it. It's their country after all, isn't it?"

"But in this case, our back road will be unstable. Earl. Knowing that doing so would make Earl Warren hate himself even more, the short young man did it anyway. The young man, whose name was Leo, began to become obnoxious again.

"Our baggage troops are not unarmed, you are too worried, young man. Though he wanted to ignore his words as he had done last time, Count Warren finally decided to answer his question. Because, at least this time, this guy barely has a little bit of truth in what he said. It's not a whimsical like the last one.

"But—" Leo was about to say something more, but before he could be interrupted by Count Warren, "all right, young man, have a little faith in our army. I've adjusted the number of baggage teams in each batch. They are more than enough to meet all the challenges they will face, whether it is a rabble of mobs or savage native cavalry.

That's it, although Leo still wants to ask again, if the other side is not just a guerrilla, not just an indigenous cavalry. And what should I do if I change to an elite regular army? But in the end, he couldn't say it.

He knew that Count Warren had already developed a prejudice against him because of what happened some time ago, and what he should do now was to do what he should do carefully, instead of making this bastard angry again and again.

The defeat in this war will not make his resume worse, after all, others are soft-spoken. Most of the responsibility lies with the arrogant Earl Warren and the generals under his command.

And if you make this guy unhappy and then ruin your future, then the gain outweighs the loss.

"Compared with the glory of the army, it is really my personal future that is more important. Besides, even if I continue to argue, I won't be able to fight this old bastard. Leo thought to himself. Before that, he made a point of admonishing the scouts he had sent out.

After paying a bribe of ten silver livres, one of the most daring scouts decided to help him see it.

Then, Major Leo got the information he wanted, that is, the rushing waters of the Savannah River, and the order that William had given more than a month ago to levy river ferries.

"Georgia is so chaotic right now. At the same time, the rushing waters of the Savannah River blocked the way of the coalition forces. In other words, even if the coalition forces adopt my tactics at the beginning, they will definitely not be able to succeed!" Thinking of this, Leo breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time was very unwilling.

The reason for the relief, of course, was that his tactics were not adopted. Otherwise, in the face of such a situation, he will have a lot of fun. The lighter ones will be expelled from the military and go home to eat old rice. Seriously, maybe a court-martial. Even more serious cases can be executed for treason.

The reason for his unwillingness is his unwillingness to William.

"That Prince William is more difficult to deal with than people think! He had expected that someone as smart as me would come up with a similar strategy, and he had been prepared for it! It was simply terrible!" Leo felt very uncomfortable and uncomfortable at the thought of this.

For a person who thinks very highly of himself, there is no enemy who can easily see through his proud plan, and it is even more uncomfortable for him.

"This guy...... It's really annoying. ”

Although in reality, William had never even seen Leo's face, and he didn't even know that there was such a person as him. However, Leo clearly regarded William as his opponent and enemy, and at the same time a target.

However, it is also a matter of course, compared to Mr. Major, William, who is currently a prince, has everything he wants, and what he does not have.

Power, status, wealth, and fame. All these crazy things, William had. More importantly, rather than relying on the inheritance of their ancestors, they rely on their own ability.

The rise of the Hereford family, the success of William and his father, King Otto, inspired ninety-nine percent of the world's down-and-out, petty aristocratic children.

"If these guys can, then why can't I?" thought all those who thought highly of themselves, after thinking of William and the Hereford family. And this Mr. Major is no exception.

"I just don't have that chance, and if I had the chance, I'd do better than him!" thought to himself, and Mr. Major was once again struck by his own ambition.

That's it, the artillery officer, together with the army to which he belonged, headed in the direction of Savannah. At the same time, the commander of the Visigoth-Asturian alliance, the Count of Warren, sent his own emissaries to Savannah to deliver a letter of war to William.

I don't know if this guy did it on purpose, or if it was out of aristocratic dignity. So when he knew that Victoria was also in Savannah, Earl Warren's war book did not mention her as a "woman" and "earl".

Just as he did with the young artillery officer, Count Warren ignored the man who could not represent Briton, and was not qualified to represent Briton. At the same time, he is not a man, and he is not a military man.

If he had to mention anything about Victoria in his war book, it would be "you and your allies". However, William felt that the Allies behind him should refer to the 20,000 Briton Red Shirts more than Victoria. Presumably, the Earl, thought the same way.

"Report back to Monsieur Earl for me. William looked at the messenger and said calmly and gently—the other party did not seem nervous, but it is no wonder that the nobles of this era are still warm and gentlemanly. I had never heard of anyone who would kill the messenger in a mad heart. So, he didn't feel like he was in danger.

After William had read the letter and looked at him, the messenger immediately became attentive.

"I mean, I don't have enough troops. William said, "I will hold my position and my city." If Mr. Earl wishes to lead an army against me, then I will await him in Savannah. I don't want to send my troops out of the city, though. If he wants to end it all as soon as possible, then come quickly. And, finally, greet Monsieur Count on my behalf, and wish him good health. ”
