The revenge mentality held by the royalists is not only true of the black slaves who fled the plantation, but even more!

In fact, they did have reason to retaliate against the slave owners for the inhuman abuse they suffered in the plantation.

In his hometown of Fairfield, Colonel Trian showed a cruel will to revenge, and after looting, he burned the entire town.

Afterwards, in a letter to a friend, Colonel Treyn regretted that the Timothy Church in the town was also destroyed in the melee, which made him feel sad—because he considered himself the "Queen of Cause and Effect". Devout believer.

But at the same time, Mr. Colonel was not at all sad that the rest of the town was burned to ashes, and he believed that it was necessary to "provoke a general sense of fear and frustration" and prompt the rebels." Recognize the reality in the face of blood and fire and give up meaningless resistance."

The joys and sorrows of the world are not interlinked. Every party in the war has reason to think that they are the victims. The retaliation actions frequently launched by the royalists and slave soldiers in Alfheim certainly cannot get the victim's forgiveness.

After the brutal actions of the invaders were exposed, they aroused the resentment and resistance of the people in the south.

The invaders of Feizhen and his servants were aggressively conquering the southern land. They were quickly used as a handle by the pens of the Continental Congress. They were firmly grasped and exposed and criticized by writing articles, which attracted a lot of criticism from the international community.

General Kanghuali ignored these curses for the time being. The most important thing was to solve the problem of feeding the troops in this way. What made him even more excited was that after more than a month of exhausting pursuit, Nathaniel El Green and the rebels he led finally made a mistake, exposing a fatal flaw.

The opportunity came on September 10.

In the morning, the Feizhen Army Aviation Corps sent out to investigate the enemy's situation—that is, the kind of human-like giant crows—discovered the Green Corps at high altitude at the junction of the Ifen River and the Delin River.

Green’s main force continued to advance westward along the south bank of the Yifen River, and another cavalry unit, with a total strength of about 3,000 troops, broke away from the main force, turned south, and marched down the Delin River.

After General Kanghuali received this piece of information, he immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to divide and break the Continental Army, and sent more crows to investigate the enemy's dynamics.

Follow-up investigation reports came one after another. By the afternoon of the next day, General Kang Huali had confirmed that the Continental Army was not making a suspicion, but was really acting separately.

Nathaniel Green led the main force to move westward. The intention is not yet clear. It is very likely that he will still follow the old routine and drag his opponents in circles in the jungle.

Another unit of the Continental Army is a cavalry brigade led by Colonel Audrey Zion. The destination for the turn south should be Delin Town. Most of them want to supplement supplies and recruit troops there.

In fact, General Convalley had heard about it a long time ago. Since the fall of Leiden, most of the independents in the city, as well as the broken up rebels, fled to the town of Delin, and wanted to regroup and establish A base area.

Before General Cornwalli led his troops to the south, he was instructed by the Earl of Winthrop. It would be better to induce the Green Corps to fight head-on and completely annihilate it. If the rebels evade and do not fight, they will go straight south to attack Delin Town. Destroy this rebel's most important stronghold in Alfheim.

After more than a month of "hide and seek", General Kang Huali has realized that unless Green takes the initiative to fight, it will be difficult for his troops to catch opponents in this unfamiliar place and start a decisive battle, so give up the futile pursuit. Switching to attacking Delin Town became a more realistic strategic option.

If the town of Delin is taken, the Cornwalli Corps will be able to get a base for rest and rehabilitation, and the rebels will be hit hard. They can only hide in the mountains and beasts. They will collapse and disintegrate after a long time.

If the rebels do not want to lose this base area, they can only come to rescue and are forced to start a decisive battle with Feizhen's army in Delin Town.

General Convalley reported his combat intentions to the Earl of Winthrop in Leiden, and was affirmed by the Governor, and personally ordered his rebellious eldest son, Bannister Winthrop, to request He led the elite cavalry brigade and went south to pursue the Audrey Corps, and must be annihilated before this rebel army entered Delin Town.

As for Audrey herself, considering her noble background, it is best to catch alive and use it as a bargaining chip with the Canaan royal family.

On the other hand, General Kanghuali’s main force, including General Hook’s cavalry division, temporarily stationed at the confluence of the Iffin and Delin rivers to establish a fortress to guard this vital shipping and transportation hub.

Our transport team was frequently looted, and Earl Winthrop was also very annoyed.

After thinking about it, I decided to use inland rivers to transport materials instead.

The munitions were loaded on ships in the port of Leiden, sailed westward along the Iffin River, and delivered to the front line.

If our troops continue to fight south, the transport ship will turn into the Delin River, a tributary of the Ifen River, and go down the river.

The benefits of shipping are convenience and speed, and cost savings, but there are also two outstanding drawbacks.

First of all, it is severely affected by the weather. At the turn of spring and summer, it is the flood season. If there is severe weather with strong winds and waves, the transport ship will be at risk of overturning.

Rebel guerrillas are likely to block the river by building dams or sinking ships, creating artificial obstacles and obstructing the navigation of transport ships.

In addition, the inland waterway is a fixed route, and the choice of shipping means that frontline troops can only march near the river bank, which greatly limits the range of activities and cannot chase the enemy far away from the waterway as it is now.

It is precisely because of these shortcomings that Earl Winthrop did not use shipping to establish a supply line before.

However, the facts have proved that the land supply line is even less reliable, and chasing the **** of the rebels around in circles has proved to be futile, and it is time to make a change.

According to the new combat plan formulated by the Earl of Winthrop and General Cornwalli, the Fijian army needs to build a base at the transportation hub where the two rivers meet. After completing rest and replenishment, it is expected to head south along Henan in late September and take directly to Germany. Lin Town.

Prior to this, Bannister Winthrop’s cavalry brigade shouldered the mission of "fighting the vanguard", hunting down and annihilating the Audrey Corps along the Delin River, and by the way, sweeping the surrounding villages of Delin Town, and deterring the rebels. All drove to Delin Town for a "closed door to beat the dog"!

In this way, Nathaniel Green's situation is passive.

If he led the troops to turn around to rescue Audrey's cavalry brigade, he would bump into the Cornwalli Corps stationed at the mouth of the river and wait for work, and be forced to start a decisive battle on the wide and flat river beach, just like hitting rocks with pebbles.
