    The British's charge was in vain. They could not get close to the thirty-meter distance of Zhao Hongyu's team.

    Although the flintlock gun is very old, at Zhao Hongyu's request, the barrel of the flintlock gun was rifled, which greatly improved the accuracy of shooting.

    ¡°Compared to the old-fashioned matchlock guns, the flintlock guns used by Zhao Hongyu and others were at least 100 years ahead of this era.

    In addition, when they landed earlier, they fired artillery for half an hour in advance, which had long since wiped out the British spirit.  So when those warriors who still had courage fell, the British completely collapsed.

    With the advance of Zhao Hongyu and others, the British began to flee from the area they had occupied and fled to the forest to the south.

    And those Indians who vassed them ran away as soon as possible.

    "Stabilize the queue, watch the wings! Advance slowly!"

    Song Hu and the others issued orders at the top of their lungs.

    Zhao Hongyu looked at the British camp.

    "Chief, are we going to enter the British camp?" Wang Shan asked loudly at this time.

    Zhao Hongyu said: "Chelsea went to the British camp to clean up the remnants. We will continue to chase the British, but remember to maintain the formation." Now that the British have been defeated, it is a good opportunity to force them out of this area.

    Taking advantage of their chaotic state and inability to organize an effective defense, they can certainly expand their results.

    Chelsea took the order and led the two hundred genetic warriors under his command into the flaming camp, and began to clear out the British who had not had time to escape.

    Song Hu, Wang Shan, and Lamour each led their soldiers to pursue the collapsed British troops in accordance with Zhao Hongyu's orders.

    The half-hour artillery bombardment was not in vain, and it really destroyed the morale of the British.

    Now the British are like bereaved dogs, running in panic all the way through the forest, for fear that they will fall into the hands of the enemies behind them.

    Coupled with their lack of effective command, this time it became even more chaotic.

    "Wang Shan and the others were hanging at the back unhurriedly, and they would serve with flintlocks when they encountered anyone who was alone.

    After chasing for a short distance, Wang Shan and the others turned back.

    After all, it was already midnight, and Wang Shan and the others were worried that they would encounter some unexpected situations.

    After Wang Shan and the others returned, Zhao Hongyu pointed to the British camp and said, "Let's rest. I estimate that the enemy may retreat to the Great Plains along the way."

    Easily defeated the British who occupied the Mohican tribe, Zhao Hongyu's confidence in his team increased a lot.

    A night without words

    Early the next morning, the simple camps established by the British had all been reduced to ruins.

    When the sun rose from the horizon, Zhao Hongyu and the others set off towards the Great Plains.

    As for the British camp, the sailors on the Galen ship who were left behind were asked to dispatch dozens of people from each ship to clean up.

    And he ordered people to notify the black bears on Manhattan Island and asked him to bring his people to station them.

    Before leaving, Zhao Hongyu purchased a large number of bricks, transported them through the space-time trader, and stacked them in piles outside the ruins.

    As long as there are people, then construction can start.

    Among the genetic people cultivated by Zhao Hongyu, many people know simple house construction techniques.  So this time they come in handy, allowing them to show off their skills.

    Regarding the planning of this place, he had already told the civil engineering construction personnel, and he also drew the graphics within this month.

    To put it simply, a small town will be built here in a short time, and there will also be a castle with extremely strong defense.  In this way, Zhao Hongyu and the others will be able to firmly control this area.

    After the war is over, through the expansion of trade, they can slowly integrate the surrounding tribal populations.  At the same time, coupled with the advantage of the genetic population, no one can shake their position in this area.

    By that time, it would be completely feasible to establish a country with a population of hundreds of thousands based on areas like Manhattan and New York.  And he, Zhao Hongyu, can legitimately become His Majesty, instead of boasting like he is now.

    Although there are not many people on the Black Bear side, more than 500 elite warriors can still be used.

    It¡¯s always okay not to let them fight and build houses.

    Those old and weak people on Manhattan Island are too weak to be used for much purpose, and Zhao Hongyu is not scumbag enough to use those women and children to do labor.?So they should just keep herding cattle and sheep on the island and cultivate the land.

    And those Indian slaves have been released by Zhao Hongyu, making them the people under his rule.  These women were assigned to some Mohicans, or Genes and became their wives.

    With the exception of some women, the remaining British captives became slaves.

    The black bear will take them back to the land that originally belonged to Mohican, and use the blood and sweat of these British slaves to achieve the necessary construction for the rise of Zhao Hongyu's future kingdom.

    "Chelsea's luck is really good, much better than Li Caifeng and his man."

    After leaving the original Mohican camp, Zhao Hongyu and the others embarked on the road to the plains.  On the way, Wang Shan whispered something to Zhao Hongyu.

    "Well, indeed. Chelsea guy is really lucky, but Li Caifeng and his men are not so lucky."

    Hearing Wang Shan mention the couple, Zhao Hongyu felt uncomfortable.

    Although Li Caifeng is a bit crazy, she likes Europeans and Americans and is even a fan of them. What can he say?  It's just that the unlucky Li Caifeng and the guy he chose were infected with the epidemic when smallpox was prevalent, and they both died before Zhao Hongyu came back.

    It can¡¯t be said to be pitiful or pity, but Zhao Hongyu really felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

    "Don't mention these anymore." Zhao Hongyu said.  "Do you think the British will make a truce with us?"

    Although Zhao Hongyu can let the war continue, it will not be good for him to fight a long war now.

    Therefore, the British took the initiative to cease the war so that they could get a favorable development time.

    "It's hard to say." Wang Shan thought for a moment and replied.  "We destroyed many of their immigration settlements in Virginia and caused them a lot of losses. So the British must hate us to the core, and an armistice is somewhat unlikely."

    "But it's not without a chance. After all, if we make a fuss like that, their logistical supplies will have problems. If they can't supply supplies for so many people, the war will not go on."

    Zhao Hongyu pondered slowly and said, "But the problem is that in the two months from when we entered Virginia to when we returned to Manhattan to deal with the epidemic, we didn't find any problems with their supplies."

    Wang Shan smiled bitterly and said: "There are a lot of prey nearby, they can hunt."

    Zhao Hongyu suddenly realized why the other party had not experienced a supply shortage in two months.  It turns out that this is the case. It seems that the rich products of the American continent are sometimes not a good thing.

    "In this case, we will fight until they cease fighting."

    Wang Shan nodded: "Besides this, we have no other option."

    While Zhao Hongyu and the others were marching, the remaining British soldiers began to gather on the Great Plains.

    The attack in the middle of the night last night really caused them heavy losses.

    Countless supplies were destroyed, and they took nothing with them when they fled.

    At the same time, the matchlocks and gunpowder were also scrapped in the fire. They now have no weapons except some cold weapons.

    Some die-hard Indians also began to come to the Great Plains.

    After half a day of sorting out, there are now only more than 3,000 British people left.

    Many Indian tribes went directly across the plains and entered the Virginia area to return to their own tribes. The shelling last night caused the British to lose more than half of their soldiers.

    This made William, as the temporary governor, feel very hesitant.

    Should we retreat or not?

    Now he has a headache.

    Judging from the enemy's military strength last night, there is no way they can be opponents.

    The opponent's muskets are very sharp, and their tactics are even more powerful and powerful than those of the Mohicans.

    On the European continent, this can be considered a strong army.

    Therefore, it is simply not something they can deal with.

    At the same time, they are far away from the mainland, and reinforcements cannot be counted on at all.  As for Virginia, there weren't many reinforcements to send.

    The people they have left now are already the best left in Virginia.  If we continue to fight and consume the enemy here, how will we suppress the Indians in Virginia in the future?

    After much thought, the temporary governor named William issued an order to withdraw to Virginia.

    In this way, the British withdrew before Zhao Hongyu and others arrived.Covered this area.  This also gave the British a slight respite and gave Zhao Hongyu a long period of development.

    When Zhao Hongyu and the others arrived at the Great Plains, they found no trace of the enemy.

    Finally, after some investigation, Zhao Hongyu found out that all the British had evacuated.

    After getting the news, Zhao Hongyu immediately ordered to return to the army.

    He is not stupid enough to start a turf war with the British right now. What he needs now is stable and peaceful development time.

    As long as you give him time, everything can be dealt with in the future.

    Since the British took the initiative to retreat, there was no need for him to continue the pursuit.

    After this war, if the British want to go to war, they will have to wait until next year at least.  But by this time next year, my strength will not be what it is now.

    This is how what is known in history as the ¡®First Golden War¡¯ came to an end.

    During the war, the Mohican tribe became quite large at any time and integrated into the Song Empire.

    The British lost more than half of their troops, along with some Indian warriors from vassal tribes.

    Due to the loss of British troops, their control in the Virginia area weakened, so for a period of time the Indians who were suppressed by them began to make moves (to be continued.
