Chapter 1882: Attacking Cariyongbao

At this time, America.

General Astimo looked through his Telescope at Cariyongbao, which stood tall on the horizon.

This fortress had once been attacked by General Aibokelong of Britain, but the result was obvious: he failed.

This fortress was not as easy to attack as he had anticipated.

The sturdiness of this fortress had far exceeded the imagination of General Aibokelong's men; without having made all the preparations for war, launching an attack rashly led directly to his defeat.

But his defeat also served as a reminder to General Astimo: one must absolutely not underestimate the French and the Indians they controlled!

Returning to the battlefield of Cariyongbao, General Astimo felt a sense of stifled rage in his heart.

At the thought of the failure the British Soldiers had left behind here previously, General Astimo's anger soared to the heavens.

He said in a deep voice to the British Soldiers he led: "At this time last year, the French forces declared war on us; that time we were defeated here, and our troops suffered heavy losses!"

"But this time, we have returned to teach those French forces a lesson, to let them know who the true master of this place is!"

The British Soldiers heard the shouting of this general.

A certain feeling in their hearts called victory was stirred up, and they shouted loudly: "Drive away the French!"

"Drive away the French!"

General Astimo drew the Command Saber at his waist, pointed it where the blade was directed, and roared: "Kill!"

"Roar!"

The British Soldiers charged out with incomparable heroism; they had never been so brave before.

General Astimo calmly observed the battlefield to see what kind of blow the vanguard troops charging out would encounter from the French forces.

General Astimo had not forgotten the warning from Qiaozhi, and he dared not underestimate the French and Indians here even more.

Just at this moment, the vanguard troops charging out encountered an attack by the Indians.

The traps they had buried around Cariyongbao were triggered by the fighting of the vanguard troops.

Those traps used to capture wild beasts were now used to deal with the army.

Seeing that these traps had been exposed, General Astimo sneered: "Bring up the Cannon to attack, force the French forces to come out and meet us in battle!"

After the traps in front were detected, the British Cannon went out to a relatively safe place, and these traps had hindered the Cannon from advancing into range.

Boom—!

The British Cannon bombarded this sturdy Cariyongbao, and the interior of the building shook.

The French garrison had already sensed the attack of the British army beforehand, but they chose to avoid battle.

They attempted to use the sturdy walls of Cariyongbao to resist the attack and minimize the casualties of the troops.

Now the French forces were fighting against both the Longyan Army and the British army here in North America.

One against two.

The French Soldier did not know if the people making decisions above were crazy; the situation, which had originally been advantageous, took a sharp turn for the worse after announcing they were fighting the Longyan Army.

Until now, they no longer dared to believe they could win the war below.

"General, it is no Method to go on like this; we must send out troops to destroy the British troops' cannons, under such an attack."

"Our walls will be breached by the British troops."

The French general hid under the table, deliberated for a moment, and made a decision that would affect the war situation: "No, we absolutely cannot send out troops; we will be completely crushed by the British troops."

"Then what should we do? If we continue like this, we are dead anyway!"

The French general thought for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and decided: "Use the Longyan Cannon; its range can reach the British troops' cannons. Use them to destroy the British cannons!"

"But we only have thirty Cannonball left for the Longyan Cannon; after they are fired, the Longyan Cannon will no longer have any deterrent capability!"

"Go quickly, don't talk nonsense here. If the thirty Cannonball are gone, they are gone. If we don't attack now, we will be finished!"

The adjutant sighed and said in a deep voice: "Yes!"

On the walls of Cariyongbao, five Longyan Cannon were set up; the moment they were seen.

A smile appeared on General Astimo's face; Qiaozhi and Gelin had already known in the previous gold mine battle that the French had somehow obtained Longyan Cannon.

Astimo was doing this specifically to lure the French into bringing out the Longyan Cannon.

Cariyongbao was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Although it was not mountainous, the construction of Cariyongbao blocked the march of the entire army; to pass through here, one could only go through Cariyongbao.

In such a place, if the French possessed an ultra-long-range attack weapon, they would have no way to take Cariyongbao with smaller losses.

They could only use infantry battles to consume the Cannonball of the Longyan Cannon.

But now General Astimo already knew of the existence of the Longyan Cannon, and such a weapon that could catch people by surprise had lost its value.

After thinking of this, General Astimo said: "The troops retreat, leave the artillerymen to continue the attack."

The British Cannon also possessed an ultra-long attack distance; Britain had entered the Industrial Revolution a step earlier, and the French lagged a step behind in this regard.

Therefore, in terms of technological research like this Cannon, the equipment level of the French forces was clearly a grade worse than the British troops.

But the technical level possessed by the Longyan Cannon far exceeded that of both their countries.

The equipment level of the Longyan Army was far more powerful than both their countries, so if they wanted to attack Cariyongbao, they had to destroy the Longyan Cannon.

At this time, the French forces had already brought out the Longyan Cannon.

The power of the Longyan Cannon was manifested on the battlefield.

The Cannon roared! Under the fierce artillery fire, the cannons left behind by the British troops were all destroyed one by one.

After the British Cannon were destroyed, the shaking of Cariyongbao also gradually weakened.

The French general crawled out from under the table, took a deep breath, and now that they could attack, he ordered: "Immediately have the Indian tribes launch an attack to pin down the main force of the British."

And at this moment, the French general did not know at all that he had fallen right into General Astimo's trap.

Just at this moment, the British troops launched an even more fierce attack against the French forces.

At this moment, the French forces had already lost the deterrent of the Longyan Cannon.

Although the Longyan Cannon is extremely powerful, a Longyan Cannon that has lost its unique Cannonballs will not be able to unleash its might.

General Astimo was precisely taking advantage of this point.

Everyone has Longyan Cannons, but the quantity of Cannonballs for the Longyan Cannons is relatively scarce for everyone.

Facing the even more intense combat from the Britain troops.

The French Soldiers defending the city were gradually unable to hold on; their troop numbers were few to begin with.

The British Soldiers attacking Cariyongbao were both valiant and powerful.

They were also very surprised as to why the weakest army of Britain would display such a high level of combat capability.

After the Indian troops joined the battle, their set of combat methods was actually also cracked by the Britain troops.
