Chapter 624 (1/2)

When bergoin escaped that night, he didn't take advantage of the darkness to escape into the forest, as Horatio gates thought.

In fact, not to mention Horatio gates, even Colonel Barry St. Redge, one of bogain's men, was shocked by what brigadier general bogain had just said.

”Don't fix it. We march north all night. I'll be on the back of Benedict Arnold tomorrow morning!” In the uncertain light of the campfire, bergoin's face looked very ferocious!

”Dare to break the back of Laozi, dare to surround Laozi and fight...” bogoin gritted his teeth, ”now Laozi has run out, you don't want to save yourself! Barry, I think that damned Horatio gates would think we're going west into the mountains, but we're not going to. We're going to surprise Benedict Arnold in the north. If Horatio gates dares to divide his forces to block me, we'll take advantage of Benedict Arnold's weakness and do him a good job! Otherwise, when Benedict Arnold and Horatio gates meet at dawn, we won't have such a good chance... ”

Although the ruthless bergoin is telling St. Redge about his thoughts and judgments, he is just telling. St. Redge has no right to refuse. Because when bergoin said these words, he had decided to take Benedict Arnold from the North first.

In fact, in terms of physical strength, the soldiers of St. Redge are not as good as those of bergoin.

After all, St. Redge came all the way from the west, and there was hardly any trimming in the middle. Although bergoin was surrounded by Horatio gates, his subordinates were on the defensive these days, and hardly consumed any physical strength.

So, when bergoin decided to march north, the more than 10000 people immediately took action in the mountains.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers of bergoin and St. Redge were Indian soldiers. They were good at moving in the mountains, so the marching speed was not slow.

When the moon goes down, the sky comes to the darkest stage of the day.

However, in the dark, more than 10000 people of bergoin walked in the forest for most of the night, and with the help of the forest, they quietly touched the north of Benedict Arnold.

At this time, Benedict Arnold had just received a message from Horatio gates that bergoin had escaped from the siege with the help of reinforcements.

Of course, along with this news comes the order to quickly retreat south early tomorrow morning.

Benedict Arnold was not surprised by his immediate superior's withdrawal order. Arnold is also a general with high military literacy. When he learned that bergoin had escaped, he almost immediately realized that the 3000 people he led had become a lonely army.

Although he is not far away from general Gates' main force, only a few kilometers away, in this case, it is undoubtedly the safest way to join the main force south.

The most important thing is that Arnold is very clear that the new general Horatio gates does not like him very much. In previous military operations, gates showed his ”hostility” or even ”malice”, which made Arnold a little nervous. If you don't pay a little attention, maybe commander gates will do worse.

This is not Arnold's wild guess at Horatio Gates' mind, because that's the truth.

In the original historical time and space, after becoming commander of the New York North army, Horatio gates showed great hostility to Benedict Arnold, who had made great achievements in the war - perhaps out of jealousy.
