At this time, it was the late summer and early autumn of 1777. In the original historical time and space, Brigadier General John Burgoyne, the highest British military commander in Canada, had already been blocked by the Continental Army near Saratoga.

In the original historical time and space, William Howe, who has been promoted to the highest military commander of the British in the New World in North America, should lead his subordinates north to meet Burgoyne, and Barry St. Redger, who came from the west, should also rush to Albany and Burgoin converged.

　　 If these three route armies all marched in accordance with a pre-made military plan, then Saratoga Victor should not have appeared in history.

　　 But it’s a pity that the plan never keeps up with the changes.

　　 St. Redegg, who landed from the southern shore of Lake Ontario and marched eastward along the Mohawk River valley, was attacked and defeated by the Continental Army near Oriskane, and St. Redegg led the remnants to flee west.

　　 If St. Redger knows to join Burgoin anyway, then as Burgoin's immediate boss, William Howe's approach is purely a pitman.

　　 This guy led his soldiers south to attack Philadelphia, and he threw Burgoin to Saratoga hundreds of miles away...

In any case, under various circumstances, John Burgoin resisted the Continental Army with 7,000 people near Saratoga, and eventually ran out of ammunition and food after 2,000 people died. Finally surrendered with the white flag, and created the famous Saratoga Victor in history.

　　 And in this historical time and space, the stone bear who has been paying attention to the northern battlefield has discovered some differences.

　　 First of all, the cheating William Howe still failed to abide by the military plan he personally made and went north to join Burgoin. Instead, the handsome army went south to attack Philadelphia. Now that Philadelphia is in danger, William Howe sees that victory is imminent, and he is still madly attacking Philadelphia.

　　 And John Burgoin captured the important military fortress at the northern end of George Lake-the Fortress of Tecondroga more than two months ago.

　　The Fortress of Tecondroga is an important military fortress guarding Lake George and Lake Champlain. After the fortress of Tecondroga is taken, the land route from Montreal to New York is basically opened up.

The successful victory of the Fortress of Tekondroga also made Burgoin’s troops high morale. In particular, most of the fighters led by Burgoin were Indian fighters from Canada. Looking forward to rendezvous with William Howe, so as to completely occupy the strategic advantage of the northern battlefield.

　　After repairing the fortress of Tecondroga for a period of time, Burgoin led his army to continue south along Lake George as planned.

　　 The widest place of this long and narrow lake formed by glacier erosion is less than seven kilometers, and the narrowest place is just over one kilometer, but the length is more than fifty kilometers. There are hundreds of meters high mountains on both sides of the lake bank, and marching is not easy.

　　 The high morale supports the soldiers of Burgoin's army, and there are many Indians in his army, so this kind of march in the deep mountains and old forests did not cause Burgoin to much difficulty.

There is a military fortress at the southern end of Lake George. It was during the last French Indian War. At that time, Major General William Johnson led the Indians in an ambush at Lake George and defeated the French, and built George at the southern end of Lake George. Fort.

　　 Fort George and Tecondroga Fortress-north and south guard the north and south ends of Lake George.

　　 However, there were not many Continental Army troops stationed in Fort George. Before Burgoin's troops arrived at Fort George, the defenders there fled.

　　 Take down Fort George without a bloodbath, which made Burgoin full of confidence, and he immediately led his army to the south.

But near Saratoga, about fifty kilometers south of Fort George, Burgoyne’s seven thousand soldiers met head-on and headed by generals led by General Philip Skyler and General Horatio Gates. A huge Continental Army composed of 12,000 soldiers, and they also have Brigadier General Benedict Arnold’s troops watching for assists...

　　 Burgoin is not a vegetarian either, he immediately built a defensive position on the spot, relying on his geographical advantage to fight against the Continental Army.

　　 This time was September 19, 1777, seven days before William Howe captured Philadelphia.

In the original historical time and space, Burgoin, a ruthless man, was stupefied by the 7,000 soldiers who resisted the Continental Army's attack for nearly a month. Until October 17, Burgo, who had run out of ammunition and food and had no reinforcements. After paying for the death of more than two thousand soldiers, I finally had to raise the white flag.

　　 Among the two thousand dead soldiers, six hundred were British soldiers, and the remaining 1,400 were Indian fighters brought by Burgoin from Canada.

However, in this time and space, Burgoin's head-on blockade from the Continental Army and William Howe who led his army to attack Philadelphia in the south are no different from what happened in the original historical time and space. Redge's West Route Army launched the shelling in advance, so that the colonel, who was tragically failed in a sneak attack due to carelessness in the original historical time and space, did not encounter the defeat of the Battle of Oriskani early in this time and space.

　　 Because of the shelling, St. Legge increased his vigilance. When his Western Army arrived near Oriskani, his scouts discovered the Continental Army hidden in the mountains on both sides of the Mohawk River.

　　 Colonel St. Reidge decisively issued the order to attack, and more than four thousand West Route troops drove away more than 1,500 Continental troops who were preparing for a sneak attack...

　　 The Oriskani victory that should have occurred in historical time and space disappeared~lightnovelpub.net~An unexpected variable appeared again.

The victorious Major St. Redegg led his remaining four thousand West Road Army soldiers to continue eastward along the Mohawk Valley, and on September 17th, they rushed to Schenecta, about 20 kilometers away from Albany. Di fortress nearby.

　　Schenectady Fortress has been built for 110 years. It is an extremely important military fortress in the lower Mohawk River Valley. Together with the Albany Fortress, this fortress guards the upper reaches of the Hudson River Valley.

　　 It is worth mentioning that this Schenectady fortress will develop into a big city in later generations. Well, that famous General Electric was born in this city...

　　 Albany is about sixty kilometers from Saratoga, and Schenectady Fort is forty kilometers from Saratoga.

　　 Only when St. Radeg came to Schenectady Fortress, he found that there were not many Continental Army garrisons here. And the scout he sent out also found that Albany didn't seem to have much Continental Army.

How is this going?

　　 The careful and vigilant St. Redge did not venture to Albany. After all, this is the territory of the Continental Army, and he is not enough to see it.

　　 St. Redgar asked the soldiers to expand the search range, and then a few days later, his Indian soldiers brought him bad news.

　　 About forty kilometers northeast of Schenectady Fortress in Saratoga, a large number of Continental Army is besieging Brigadier General Burgoin’s army. And the army of General William Howe, who was supposed to go northward to join forces in Albany as planned, was nowhere to be seen...
