Chapter 1637: The Pass

"Longyan..."

Upon hearing these three familiar syllables, the old general felt as if there was nothing the Longyan could not accomplish.

However, he had to admit that when it came to leading troops in battle, especially infantry, the Longyan were essentially without rivals.

Longyan now possessed powerful weaponry and troops of excellent quality.

Not to mention the combat records the Longyan army had already achieved on the battlefield.

Just recently, the old general had seen a divine book from Longyan, which was written about war.

It could be said that every word was worth its weight in gold.

To this day, the old general still kept this book by his bedside, and he would read it again before going to sleep.

Every time he read this book, the old general felt that the Longyan understanding of war was extremely profound.

This book did not just talk about how to lead troops in battle; it spoke even more about the impact brought about by war.

Unfortunately, constrained by his understanding of Longyan Culture.

He did not understand the meaning of many phrases in the Longyan military treatises at all.

Especially this sentence: "Subdue the enemy without fighting."

The old general completely failed to understand what was meant by "subdue the enemy without fighting."

Without engaging in combat, how could one achieve the goal of conquest, and how could one make others submit?

He could not figure it out...

"This matter is decided then; please have the Longyan help us direct the battle."

"Next, regarding the battle for Virginia, you, General, will serve as the commander-in-chief."

Kelinxi looked at the old general and said solemnly.

Hearing this, the old general sighed; if it is a blessing, it is not a disaster, and if it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided.

Regarding Kelinxi's appointment, the old general could only bite the bullet and agree.

"As you command," the old general said.

Regarding the British offensive against Fort Duquesne, the French theater commander did not make any further counterattacks.

Their French forces in America were simply too scarce.

There were currently not enough troops to support them in launching a counteroffensive.

Since Britain had launched a total war, the French Colonial Area had no response to make in return.

Before and after this battle, the French commander-in-chief, supreme commander, and leader, Richard, was currently hiding here and there to avoid the pursuit of the Indians.

There was simply no Method to obtain this news.

However, as time progressed, the momentum of the Indian Uprising gradually faded away.

Those generals in the defensive zones also successively returned to their posts to direct the fighting against the Indians.

But the time they had taken to return had already been dragged out for too long.

In many places, the Indians had already achieved victory on the battlefield.

Under the leadership of Qin Zhangfeng, this Indian Uprising could be said to be a complete success.

Their small number of troops were not wiped out by the French; instead, they dealt the French heavy losses.

They even occupied several armories in the French Colonial Area at one point.

They also intercepted many War Horses, and the Indians successfully formed a Cavalry.

The Indians, having formed a Cavalry, under the leadership of Qin Zhangfeng, headed toward the retreat route out of the French Colonial Area.

On this road, there was the most important pass city.

At this moment, the Indians attacking this place were still mired in a very difficult situation.

Following the arrival of the French Colonial Area commander here, the situation on the battlefield became even more difficult.

The French had guns and cannons in their hands, and they also occupied the advantage of the Geography.

When formulating the plan, Qin Zhangfeng had solemnly mentioned that this would be the hardest nut to crack in this uprising.

The success or failure of this uprising did not depend on how many victories were won.

It depended on how many

Indians could withdraw from the French Colonial Area.

However, the current situation was not optimistic.

Even Qin Zhangfeng, facing the current battlefield situation, had his brows tightly furrowed.

The terrain of this pass was not complex, but it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, possessing a position where one man could hold the pass against ten thousand.

As long as the French garrison held their ground firmly, it would be almost impossible for the Indians to capture the pass.

This siege battle would inevitably be a long-drawn-out war of attrition.

But for the Indian Insurgent Army, they no longer had that much time; the French pursuit army was currently rushing over from afar.

If they did not break through the city soon, the fruits of this uprising.

Would very likely be wiped out completely.

Regarding such a situation, Qin Zhangfeng absolutely could not accept it.

The Indians also would not allow the failure of this uprising.

Currently, the Indian Insurgent Army, following the outbreak of those uprisings, had been joined by Indians whom Qin Zhangfeng had not accurately surveyed, but he estimated there were at least fifty thousand.

This was all the people who had survived from various battlefields and gathered together in the Indian Insurgent Army.

There were still Insurgent Army members who had not yet arrived from the battlefield.

If they were all gathered together, it would be hard to imagine just how many these Indian Insurgent Army troops would number.

However, with so many of the Insurgent Army now gathered before the majestic pass, there is only one path to take.

Only attack, must attack, absolutely cannot fail; failure would mean their uprising has completely failed.

Qin Zhangfeng frowned; although they had occupied the French armory, they had not taken away any Siege Cannons, as those Siege Cannons were too cumbersome and would greatly slow down the marching speed.

The Indians of the present are extremely lacking in equipment.

To take this pass is also an extremely difficult task for Qin Zhangfeng.

However, Qin Zhangfeng is not afraid.

He immediately summoned those among the Indian Insurgent Army who had received special training; these were the Special Forces that Qin Zhangfeng had specifically trained.

These units have differences in terms of assault capabilities that set them apart from ordinary units.

Qin Zhangfeng issued the order to use these units to attack the French pass.

The sky is about to turn dark.

But Qin Zhangfeng's attack on the pass has not diminished.

Even under dark conditions, Qin Zhangfeng has not given up on the attack against the French at all.

The French troops' vision was greatly hindered while fighting in the dim conditions.

After the torches were lit, although they pushed back the darkness, they also obstructed the French troops' vision.

More importantly, it exposed their own positions to the opponent.

But for the Indians, seeing things in the dark is a very normal thing for them.

They used to hunt in the jungle, relying on their vision in the dark.

Therefore, many Indians climbed to the top of the city wall to attack the French troops.

It was also at this moment that Qin Zhangfeng issued the order for the Indian Special Forces to begin their action.

Qin Zhangfeng knew that even if the Indians occupied the city wall, they would not be able to open the city gate.

The city wall is merely the outermost defense; this pass very likely has a second or third layer of defense.

The Indian Special Forces took advantage of the night to climb the city wall, looking at the French troops stationed inside. The recent transcoding is severe; to give us more motivation to update faster, please use your little hands to exit reading mode. Thank you.
