The Fox of France No Chapter 479: The Siege (5)

General Arthur Wellesley began to withdraw his troops from New York. Withdrawal is always the most complex operation, especially when you have an army with the intent to pursue right in front of you, it becos even more troubleso. General Andrew Jackson, who took over the defense command in New York, although not as experienced as General Arthur Wellesley, was not soone to be taken lightly. Once he confird the British were withdrawing, he began to harass the British forces relentlessly, slowing down their retreat.

The Aricans had a purpose in doing this. Although their ability to play tricks on the battlefield wasn’t top-notch, their skills off the battlefield were not to be underestimated.

Although the Arican soldiers were generally patriotic, they were also not particularly trained in resisting interrogation, so they quickly revealed the big secret General Andrew Jackson and his plans under British interrogation.

General Arthur Wellesley naturally knew this was all Arican trickery. However, the issue was, those "French-speaking Englishn" in Quebec now seed genuinely to be stirring.
