Chapter 621 (1/2)

It was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn in 1777. In the original historical time and space, Brigadier General John bergoin, the highest British military officer in Canada, had been blocked by the army near Saratoga.

In the original historical time and space, William Howe, who has been promoted to the top military officer of Britain in the new world of North America, should lead his subordinates to go north to join bergoin, and Barry St. Redge, who came from the west, should also rush to Albany to join bergoin.

If the three Route Army marched in accordance with the military plan made in advance, there would be no great victory in Saratoga in history.

But unfortunately, the plan can't keep up with the change.

St. Redge, who landed on the South Bank of Lake Ontario and advanced eastward along the Mohawk River Valley, was attacked and defeated by the army near oriscany, and led the remnant to flee westward.

If St. Redge somehow knew how to join bergoin, then as bergoin's immediate boss, William Howe's practice was just a pitfall.

This guy led his soldiers south to attack Philadelphia, and directly left bergoin alone in Saratoga hundreds of miles away

In any case, under all kinds of circumstances, John bergoin resisted the army of more than 12000 with 7000 people near Saratoga. After 2000 people died, he ran out of ammunition and food and finally surrendered with the white flag, which created the famous Saratoga victory in history.

In this historical time and space, the stone bear who has been paying attention to the northern battlefield has found some differences.

First of all, William Howe did not abide by the military plan he made himself. He went north to join bergoin, but went south to attack Philadelphia. Now Philadelphia is on the brink. William Howe is still on a rampage against Philadelphia as he sees victory approaching.

John bergoin captured the important military fortress at the north end of Lake George, tekondroga fortress, more than two months ago.

Tekondroga fortress is an important military fortress guarding Lake George and lake Pulan. After taking tekondroga fortress, it basically opened up the land route from Montreal to New York.

In particular, most of the soldiers led by bergoin were Indian soldiers from Canada, which made bergoin look forward to meeting with William Howe to completely occupy the strategic advantage of the northern battlefield.

After a period of renovation of tekondroga fortress, bergoin led the army to continue to descend along the south of George as planned.

The widest part of this long and narrow lake formed by glacier erosion is less than seven kilometers, and the narrowest part is only more than one kilometer, but its length is more than 50 kilometers. There are mountains hundreds of meters high on both sides of the lake, so it's not easy to March.

The high morale supported the soldiers in bergoin's army, and there were many Indians in his army, so this kind of March in the mountains and forests did not bring much difficulty to bergoin.

There is a military fortress at the south end of Lake George. In the last French Indian War, Major General William Johnson, the Baron, led the Indians to ambush you at Lake George, defeated the French, and built Fort George at the south end of Lake George.

Fort George and Fort tyconderoga guard the north and south ends of Lake George.

But there were not many big armies in Fort George, and the defenders fled before bergoin's troops arrived.
