Chapter 1635: The War of the Bitter Remonstrance

The Indian Uprising in the French Colonial Zone is currently in full swing.

In the British Colonial Area, Kelinxi seems to have a special sense for war.

He soon perceived the recent unrest in the French Colonial Zone.

Soon, scouts from the British Colonial Area also sent word, informing Kelinxi of the situation regarding the Indian Uprising currently occurring in the French territory.

Upon receiving this news, Kelinxi immediately realized that their opportunity had arrived.

With a rebellion currently taking place in the French Colonial Zone, it is the perfect time to launch an attack.

Kelinxi immediately assembled an army to attack the French Colonial Zone.

To fight for the gold mines, to fight for the land.

To fight for everything.

Kelinxi dispatched another officer, General Braddock, to rush to the battlefield; the British's first target for the attack was a trading center established by the French near the Ohio River.

It is called Fort Duquesne.

It is an extremely important foreign trade center for the French.

At the same time, the establishment of Fort Duquesne was even more of a probe by the French against the British.

If one were to truly divide it, Fort Duquesne is actually located within the territory of the British Colonial Area, Virginia.

This is also the place where the French and the British are fighting over gold mines.

After strategic and multifaceted considerations, General Braddock listed this place as the primary target for the attack.

The terrain here is flat and open; at dawn, the British army led by General Braddock fired the first shot.

And at that same moment, the leader of the Thirteen Colonies in the British Colonial Area, Kelinxi, issued a proclamation.

The French have violated the territory that should belong to them, Virginia.

All buildings erected on Virginia should belong to the British Colonial Area.

The French Colonial Zone even arrested their soldiers and forced them to sign a contract they could not understand at all; this is deception.

Such behavior is a blasphemy against the Lord.

In America, the British Colonial Area will launch a total war against the French Colonial Zone and the cooperating Indian tribes to defend their territory and defend the rights of the people!

This completely ignited the war between the British and the French and Indian tribes.

General Braddock led the British troops to launch an attack on the open Fort Duquesne.

The British troops he led advanced while attacking.

Because they occupied an absolute advantage in numbers, the situation on the battlefield was very favorable for the British.

General Braddock's traditional European style of combat achieved a certain degree of success.

He advanced rapidly.

The French troops fighting against them launched a swift counterattack when faced with General Braddock's offensive.

However, the absolute disadvantage in numbers made the situation for the French troops exceptionally difficult.

Nevertheless, the large number of Indians among the French troops believed that the British army's fighting style was too old-fashioned.

It was simply not suitable for the current battlefield.

Although Fort Duquesne was flat and open, there were still woods present; the British troops adopted their old, traditional way of attacking, which, while effective, also exposed their entire force.

Such an attack method could be said to be the most brainless approach.

Some Indians serving in high-level positions within the French troops put forward their own views.

They believed that a hunter should use the environment to conceal their tracks and wait until the time was ripe to deliver a fatal blow to the prey.

The French troop officers finally heeded the Indians' advice.

The French troops and the Indians slipped into the jungle.

In their view, those British troops wearing red uniforms were as obvious as targets.

Although it was dawn and the sky was dim, it did not hinder the Indians and the French from observing these British troops wearing bright uniforms.

They stared at their prey like hunters, stepping closer and closer to the trap that would bury them.

General Braddock, however, was completely unaware; he was inexplicably joyful about the results achieved so far.

Taking Fort Duquesne would be a great victory.

Although he was already a general, who wouldn't want to go a step further, for example, by becoming a British Noble?

With these military merits, it would be enough for him to obtain a Noble title of Count.

General Braddock might be immersed in fantasies of victory at this moment; as he advanced step by step, Fort Duquesne would be leveled by him bit by bit, and victory was right before his eyes.

Those French troops would be defeated and lose this city.

And he, Braddock, would also be a war hero who ended the Gold Mine War and resolved the territorial dispute in Virginia.

Everything was right before his eyes; honor and a Noble status were within Braddock's easy reach.

Just at this moment, a gunshot shattered all of General Braddock's fantasies.

Bang!

Immediately following, a team of Frenchmen and Indians charged out from the inconspicuous woods near Fort Duquesne.

They launched an attack from the left and right flanks of the British army.

Faced with the sudden attack, the British troops were caught off guard.

The British troops, who had originally occupied a numerical advantage, had almost no power to fight back in this surprise attack.

The troops attacking from the flanks gave the British no chance to react at all.

After a round of slaughter, the British troops suffered countless casualties.

General Braddock was stunned for a moment; the victory that had been within his reach was now moving away from him.

"Kill all these British!"

The French troops clamored, and the Indians shrieked.

The brutal battle filled the air with the scent of blood.

General Braddock's face was livid, his hand trembling as he held his Command Saber, and he roared: "Attack, attack!"

Under the orders of General Braddock, the British fought bravely to kill the enemy.

However, the traditional European-style offensive tactics deployed by General Braddock collapsed completely at this moment.

After encountering the surprise attack, the British Soldiers had no Method to form battle formations; they had no Method to advance while attacking.

The surprise attack by the French and the Indians tore the battlefield apart.

The advantage shifted instantly toward the French troops.

The scales of victory tipped.

General Braddock shouted in unwillingness, but it was to no avail; in the end, a Bullet, fired by someone unknown, struck his heart.

Fresh blood flowed out, and General Braddock's vision gradually dimmed.

In the moment before his death, his face still held that shout of unwillingness.

This operation, in which the British troops had held the advantage from the start, ultimately ended in failure with the death of General Braddock.

The French troops won this battle with a smaller force.

The news that the first battle was not a victory reached the ears of Kelinxi.

Kelinxi's face immediately darkened; for his Britain, this was simply a disgrace!

At a time when the French were beset by internal and external troubles and their military strength was stretched thin, General Braddock had actually been defeated and had even gotten himself killed.

To Kelinxi, this was like a bolt from the blue.

After he impotently threw and shattered a cup in a rage, he fell silent and looked at these generals of the British Military Department.

"For the next battle, who among you will go?"
