Super Chief
Chapter 623: Ruthless
Although the night was dark, the movement of four thousand people was still not small. Even if St. Redige's subordinates were careful, they were eventually discovered by the Continental Army.
Since has been discovered, don’t hide it at all!
Similar to the situation in the Burgoyne Department, the St. Redgar Department is also mostly made up of Indian warriors. His five thousand men only had two infantry regiments composed of British soldiers. As a result, the 88th Light Infantry regiment was maimed by a shelling from the 9th Division of the Grim Bear Army.
Among the remaining soldiers in the St. Redgar Department, there is an infantry regiment composed of 1,000 British soldiers, and the other 3,000 are Indian fighters drawn from Canada.
In the mountains and forests of the dark night, these Indian warriors are furious when they fight. The hunting skills trained in the mountains and forests all the year round have played a huge role here.
The thousand soldiers deployed by Horatio Gates to the west are not the elite of the Continental Army. Most of these soldiers are guerrillas composed of farmers and bankrupt small craftsmen. Their combat effectiveness is limited, but relying on their condescending geographical advantage, once the Burgoin Department wants to flee west, they can resist for a period of time and act as an early warning, so Gates arranged it there.
But what Gates didn't expect was that the enemy would have reinforcements, and the reinforcements even touched them from behind their buttocks.
The St. Radge's Department took advantage of the night to rush, and immediately rushed to the west to disperse the Thousand Continental Army.
And Burgoin is not an idiot either. When he heard the gunshots and screams of killing from the west, he knew that St. Legge was coming. Therefore, he immediately gathered all his subordinates and charged to the west with the fastest speed.
Thanks to the Continental Army who surrounded the Burgoin Department, the soldiers of Burgoin Department were all waiting for them, so the assembly speed was extremely fast. Just a few minutes after the gunshots from the west rang out, Burgoin's department had already begun to rush towards the west.
Although the crescent moon in the sky is not bright, it is enough for the soldiers of Burgoin to see the way under their feet. Coupled with the support of the desire to survive, this made Burgoin's fighters rush hard.
Horatio Gates arranged the main forces at the north and south ends of Saratoga. There were only a thousand low-combat guerrillas in the west as an early warning. As a result, these thousand people were in St. Reidge and Burgoyne. Under the hedge, it immediately fell apart.
Except for dozens of unlucky guys who got their feet in the charge, and a dozen more unlucky ones who were hit by stray bullets, the remaining 6,000 soldiers of Burgoin’s Department rushed into the west with little loss. The Adirondack Mountains.
When Horatio Gates rushed to the western border line with soldiers, all he saw were the gray-headed soldiers. The most unlucky thing is that in this night attack, the thousand soldiers also lost more than a hundred people.
was rushed out of the encirclement by Burgoin, which made Horatio Gates furious.
But no matter how angry he is, there is no way he can do it. People have already escaped, this is an indisputable fact. Moreover, if the poor do not chase, Gates still knows the truth about Lin Mo. In this case, Gates could not and dare to chase.
But Horatio Gates did not give it in vain. Now that the Burgoyne Department has joined the reinforcements, the number of British people has exceeded 10,000 at least, which is enough to fight the Continental Army.
Especially the Continental Army is not as good as the British in terms of equipment, so once it really fights, although the Continental Army has a slight advantage in numbers, it really may not be able to beat more than 10,000 British soldiers.
Therefore Horatio Gates decisively issued the order to retreat.
Since Burgoin's tiger is not trapped, he must guard against the tiger's head and bite. Therefore, the best choice now is to withdraw troops, and then continue to choose a good place to fight again.
Horatio Gates may not know the phrase "defeat before you win", but he still understands the same truth. Considering the worst results and working towards the best results, this is also the military literacy that an outstanding general should possess.
Horatio Gates’ choice to withdraw troops is undoubtedly very correct under the current circumstances, but it is a pity that Horatio Gates wants to retreat, but John Burgoin still refuses to agree!
Don’t look at later historians who gave John Burgoyne the nickname "Gentleman Johnny", but that’s because Burgoyne began to play art in the later stages of his life, and he also wrote a very famous drama.
But in fact, before John Burgoyne was defeated at Saratoga, this guy was an out-and-out lunatic.
This can be seen from his early resume.
Burgoin's background is very good. No matter who his father is, it is undeniable that Burgoin's family is very rich.
This guy later served as a soldier, but he abducted his classmate’s sister when he didn’t agree with him. This guy took the kidnapped sister paper and went straight to France for romance, but almost angered his father, the Earl of Derby, to death.
This guy took the kidnapped sister paper and wandered outside for eleven years before he ran back to England, and then reconciled with his father-in-law, Earl Derby-Earl Derby said he was helpless, and I didn’t want to reconcile. Now, I don’t want to recognize this son-in-law...
The Earl of Derby is a very capable person. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also has a great influence in the UK. So under the activities and influence of the old father-in-law, Burgoin was promoted again, and then led his subordinates on the battlefields of France and Portugal. He was elected as a member of the British House of Commons as a "hero".
Because of the outbreak of the War of Independence, the ambitious Burgoin came to the New World in North America, responsible and commanded the Battle of Bunker Hill, and was later transferred to Canada as the highest military commander of the British Army in Canada.
In the original historical time and space, in Saratoga, the seven thousand soldiers he led were surrounded by the Continental Army, but he insisted on staying in the encirclement for a full 28 days. He would not surrender to the Continental Army if he had no food available.
These things are enough to prove that Burgoin is a ruthless person! Be cruel to yourself, even more cruel to the enemy!
If Horatio Gates' troops can directly encircle Burgoin until it runs out of ammunition and food, just like the original historical time and space, Burgoin will definitely be unable to jump.
But now, how can Burgoin, who escaped his birth and has reinforcements and ammunition supplies, give up revenge?
After all, in the past few days of being surrounded, two to three hundred people under Burgoin's men died under the guns of the Continental Army. The most important thing is that Burgoin can't swallow this breath.
was so overshadowed by Horatio Gates, and almost died. As a ruthless person, if he didn't take revenge, wouldn't he be too sorry for the word "ruthless person"?
