Chapter 626 (1/2)

The short and fierce battle in the north of Saratoga naturally alarmed Horatio gates in the south.

Although it's hard to see Arnold, there are still 3000 soldiers in Arnold's army. For gates, this is a force that cannot be easily abandoned.

So gates quickly led the main forces to arrive here, the results of the immediate tragedy almost let gates a black eye fainted.

Almost none of the three thousand soldiers in Arnold's department were all in one. At a glance, there were dead bodies and wounded people howling all over the huge battlefield.

Because there were not enough people to help the wounded, they had to lie on the ground and wail helplessly.

Even Philip Skyler was almost stupid when he saw this scene, especially when he saw Arnold with four arrows and three bullet holes without bleeding, Skyler almost fainted.

Unlike gates, Philip Skyler has a better impression of Arnold. Before Skyler garrisoned Fort tyconderoga, it was Arnold who beat it down. In that year, if Arnold hadn't built warships to resist Carleton in Champlain lake, Fort tyconderoga would have been beaten down by Carleton.

But now, even Philip Skyler has to obey Horatio gates. The strong gates can't hold his breath.

Now see Arnold's body, Skyler heart immediately rose a rabbit dead fox sad feeling.

Seeing Horatio gates, Skyler suddenly felt very funny.

A few days ago, when blocking the bogain department, Arnold repeatedly stressed that to deal with such a ruthless man as bogain, we must use a stronger offensive to defeat him. Therefore, we should not use the method of encircling and killing bogain to deal with him. Instead, we should take a strong attack and rely on the number of people and firepower of the army to completely defeat bogain.

As a result, Arnold's proposal was rejected by gates without hesitation, and Arnold was reprimanded by gates.

Skyler certainly knew why gates rejected Arnold and reprimanded him. Gates was jealous of Arnold's prestige in the army and among the local Indians. And Skyler is very clear that gates, who was born in Britain and had been serving in the British army before, despised Arnold, who was born in poverty.

Even several times in private conversation, gates always called Arnold ”native”

Arnold had been fighting under general Watson before, and he was the most reliable General of general Watson. In order to cooperate with gates, the new commander of the northern army, general Watson even sent Arnold to support gates.

As a result, I didn't expect Gates' attitude towards Arnold to be like this

Now Arnold died in the war, and the 3000 armies were almost disabled. Gates, as the top commander, should have a headache.

There was even a faint sense of joy in Skyler's mind.

This is not schadenfreude of Skyler, but what Gates has done since he became the commander of the north is a little disrespectful.

In fact, what Skyler doesn't know is that if history doesn't change, this Horatio gates is not really a good man.

In the original historical time and space, during this period, some people in the army were dissatisfied with the leadership of general watsonton and tried to let gates replace him to lead the army. Although the general gates did not openly participate in these people's usurpation of power, but let them.

Obviously, this gates is not as magnificent as others think he is - this guy is actually a small bellied guy. He can't see anyone better than himself.
