Chapter 621 (2/2)

The bloodless victory of Fort George made bogain more confident, and he immediately led the army to continue to go south.

But near Saratoga, about 50 kilometers south of Fort George, bergoin's 7000 soldiers met the huge army of 12000 soldiers led by general Philip Skyler and general Horatio gates, and they also had the help of brigadier general Benedict Arnold's troops

Bergoin was not a vegetarian either. He immediately built a defensive position on the spot and fought against the army by virtue of his favorable location.

It was September 19, 1777, seven days before William Howe captured Philadelphia.

In the original historical time and space, bergoin was so cruel that he resisted the army's attack for nearly a month with 7000 soldiers here. Until October 17, bergoin, who had no ammunition and no reinforcements, finally had to raise the white flag after paying the death of more than 2000 soldiers.

Among the more than 2000 dead soldiers, 600 were British soldiers, and the remaining 1400 were Indian soldiers brought by bergoin from Canada.

However, in this time and space, bergoin's encounter with the head-on attack of the army and William Howe's southward attack on Philadelphia, regardless of bergoin, are no different from what happened in the original historical time and space. However, because the stormbear soldiers shelled the West Route Army of St. Redge ahead of time, the former Colonel, who suffered a sneak attack and failed because of carelessness in the original historical time and space, In this time and space, we did not encounter the defeat of the battle of oriskani.

Because of the shelling, St. Redge raised his vigilance. When his Western army arrived near oriskani, his scouts found the army hidden in the mountains on both sides of the Mohawk River.

Colonel St. Redge decisively gave the order to attack, and more than 4000 West Route troops beat away more than 1500 troops who were ready to sneak attack

The great victory of oriskani, which should have happened in historical time and space, has disappeared, and an unexpected variable has appeared.

The victorious major St. Redge led his remaining 4000 soldiers of the West Route Army to continue their eastward march along the Mohawk River Valley, and on September 17, they arrived near Fort sknektadi, about 20 kilometers away from Albany.

Sknektadi fortress has been built for 110 years. It is a very important military fortress in the lower reaches of the Mohawk River Valley. Together with Albany fortress, this fortress arches the upper reaches of the Hudson River Valley.

It's worth mentioning that this fort skenectady will develop into a big city in the future. Well, the famous general electric was born in this city

Albany is about 60 kilometers away from Saratoga, and Fort sknektadi is 40 kilometers away from Saratoga.

It's just that when St. Redge came to Fort schneichtady, he found that there were not many big armies there. And the scouts he sent out also found that Albany didn't seem to have many big armies.

What's going on?

The vigilant St. Redge didn't rush to Albany. After all, this is the territory of the army. He doesn't have enough people to look at.

St. Redge asked the soldiers to expand their search, and a few days later, his Indian soldiers brought him bad news.

In Saratoga, about 40 kilometers northeast of Fort sknektadi, a large number of large armies are besieging brigadier general bergoin's forces. General William Howe's army, which was supposed to go north to meet in Albany as planned, disappeared
