Chapter 626 (2/2)

And the final fact also proves that Horatio Gates' character makes him not go far.

In the summer of 1780, this Horatio gates met Waterloo in his life. The defeat of Camden made him lose his military position. Until his death, the stain of Camden's defeat was with him.

Of course, those things happened in the original historical time and space.

Here, in this time and space, Horatio gates is already in a mess.

Although there are only 800 regular troops in the 3000 army and the remaining 2200 are militia and guerrillas, they are 3000 after all.

There are only so many people left in a 3000 man army. In any case, this is a big defeat that cannot be explained and shirked.

Arnold died in the war. No matter what, Arnold has paid the price of his life for the defeat. No one can blame him any more.

But Gates, as the top commander in this battle, can never escape the responsibility of leadership.

Unless... Unless we can find the damned bergoin and beat him in one go, then we can find a way to save this defeat.

Horatio gates, who had served in the British army since his youth, had a certain military quality, so he soon found a way.

A large number of scouts were sent out by Horatio gates, focusing on the west side of the mountains.

The rest of the soldiers are ready to attack at any time, except for those who take care of and treat the wounded.

In the early hours of the morning, bergoin, who had completed a perfect raid, had retreated to a valley in the western mountains.

There is a small lake in the valley. A clear river flows in from the west of the lake and flows out from the south of the lake.

Bergoin's troops chose to camp here for the time being.

It's about seven or eight kilometers in a straight line from the battlefield where Arnold died.

It's not that bergoin doesn't want to continue to flee to the West. The more he goes to the west, the harder it will be. And in the early morning raid, the bergoin department was not without casualties.

Without the absolute superiority of heavy machine guns and artillery, even a successful surprise attack will result in a war loss of one thousand and four hundred.

Despite the early morning raid, bogain crippled Arnold, but bogain didn't feel well either. Less than 200 of his men died, but more than 800 were injured. Originally there were only a little over 10000 soldiers, but now there are about 9000 who can fight.

That's about the same number as the rest of Horatio gates, but bogain's supply is not as good as the army's, so bogain has to stop and give the wounded a chance to repair. When the wounds on the wounded are almost healed, the troops are looking for a safe place to rest. If only they could find a way to get some supplies.

But although bergoin's calculation is good, he underestimates the anger in the heart of horeshaw gates, who is about to go crazy.

Then, the next morning, when bergoin was about to set out to continue looking for a place to repair, Horatio gates, who had got bergoin's repair site, came with all his soldiers and killed them fiercely
