Melun was a French soldier who fought in the Seven Years' War, and once participated in the Battle of Roosbach with the Duke of Richelieu, where he was promoted to a battalion commander.
But then on the Western Front, Melun's unit was heavily damaged by the Prussian army led by Prince Ferdinand, and the French army has been pressed and beaten by the Prussian army on the Western Front ever since.
He once watched his brothers in his battalion fall in front of him one after another, and in the end, he was the only one left in the battalion.
Morun wanted to kill all the Prussians in front of him countless times, but he knew that he couldn't, and from then on, every night Moren would pray to God for which Prussians he could meet again, and he would give them a gift that he would never forget.
As he led his troops outside Savannah, Green joined up with other Southern U.S. troops who had arrived urgently, and at the same time a letter to the Continental Congress requesting reinforcements was answered, and the Continental Congress informed Green that in a week there would be 4,000 reinforcements to him, all of whom were trained and fully armed.
Green counted the total strength of each department and found that after a period of development, the American army in the south is no longer the original 8,000 people, and the total strength of the American army in the south has reached 12,000 people, and Green believes that with these 12,000 people, those Prussia will definitely pay the price.
Green ordered the various units to be divided into pieces and infiltrate Savannah, thanks to Brüneke's prior arrangement, the American troops who entered the city were not stopped by the Prussian troops patrolling the city gates, and they quietly infiltrated various houses in Savannah.
At the same time, Brunecke was rewarded by his subordinates, and a large number of unknown armed men infiltrated it, but when he heard the news, Bruneke did not take action but smiled slightly.
Green and Old Moron have already divided the labor, by Green led seven thousand people to infiltrate Savannah, Old Moren is responsible for answering outside the city, Old Moren ordered all his soldiers to collect firewood, grass and other flammable materials after the division of labor is clear, he is ready to have a bonfire party, thinking of the proud, Old Moren laughed.
At this moment in Savannah there were 4,000 Prussian troops under the command of Count Brünecke and 5,000 British troops under Cornwallis, and not far from the coast there was a British fleet with 3,000 British troops on board.
In order to cooperate with Brüneck's plan, Cornwallis brought all the British troops from the south, and like Bruneke, he pinned his hopes on destroying the resistance of the American army in the south in a single battle.
October 30 was a very important execution of American prisoners of war by the Earl of Rünec in Savannah, and it was also a major tripartite decision between Britain, the United States, and Prussia in the South.
Bruneke took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and after reading it, he glanced at Cornwallis next to him, and then Cornwallis announced loudly: "In view of the rampant rebellion in North America, in spite of the repeated orders of our King George III, there are still a large number of evil heresies who do not obey the king, for the sake of the happiness and well-being of the people of the colonies, General Clinton, commander-in-chief of North America, ordered the execution of these heresies, God forbid" After Cornwallis finished speaking, the British soldier standing behind the prisoner of war raised his gun and began to aim, and just as Cornwallis was about to wave his hand to order the execution, gunfire rang out from the houses around the town hall, and a British soldier was knocked to the ground.
Hearing the gunshots, Cornwallis and Brünecke looked at each other with joy, knowing that the American troops in the South had taken the bait.
As one gunshot rang out, more gunshots began to rang out, and Savannah was buzzing.
The square in front of the city hall instantly became a Shura field, and the British soldiers who were originally standing in the square fell down one after another.
A large number of American troops appeared in the houses around the square, and these American troops rushed towards the British troops without thinking for life or death.
But what was surprising was that the British soldiers seemed to be vulnerable, and they shouted in panic, but they could not even say a complete word.
When the American troops rushed to the square to help the prisoners of war untie the ropes, they were suddenly stunned, it turned out that the hands of these prisoners of war were suddenly raised, and at this moment, Green not far away gasped.
Green found that the prisoners of war were actually holding a gun in their hands, and in an instant of flint, the prisoners of war opened fire, and the American soldiers who rushed towards the prisoners of war were knocked to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Brüneke laughed in the town hall, it turned out that in order to set a trap for the American army, Brüneke arranged for nearly 1,000 Prussian soldiers to replace the original prisoners of war.
At the same time, those prisoners of war were cut out of their tongues, put on the coats of the British army, and stood tremblingly behind the Prussian soldiers, of course, in order to prevent these prisoners of war from escaping, the prisoners of war stood behind the real Prussian soldiers, and the guns in the hands of the prisoners of war were also without bullets.
The Americans had killed all their former comrades at first, and Brüneke smiled brighter at the thought of this.
As the Prussian soldiers pretending to be prisoners of war opened fire, the whole battlefield was in chaos, and the American soldiers who had been in the lead began to retreat in a panic, and Green saw this scene change.
He didn't care about any prisoners of war at the moment, and the most important thing at the moment was to get the army out safely.
Green called the soldiers on the left and right to move closer to him, and at the same time ordered the herald to notify the American troops in the city to start retreating.
Seeing that the American troops began to retreat, Cornwallis in the town hall glanced at Bruneck, and then ordered the soldiers to climb the roof of the town hall to take down the flag, the flag is a signal, as long as the flag is taken down, the British fleet not far away from the roof of the town hall will quickly rush to the aid and drop 3,000 British troops into the battlefield.
The battlefield began to tilt against the American army, and both Bruneke and Cornwallis felt that victory was in their hands, but what no one expected was that the unexpected happened at this moment.
A fire began to rise outside Savannah, and the fire-sparked speeches were visible at a glance from standing in the city hall.
Seeing the sudden flames, Bruneck's eyes changed suddenly.
"Haha, Prussians, you all die, and next year today, I will pray to God for you," a figure yelled frantically.
This figure is old Melun, in order to take revenge, old Melun has gone crazy, you must know that at this time there is not only the Anglo-Prussian army in the city, but also the main force of the southern American army led by Green, in order to achieve the effect of total annihilation, old Melun is actually crazy to the point of burning the city.
Although Savannah is the capital of Georgia, like the colonial cities of the North American continent, most of the buildings in Savannah are civil structures, and do not use masonry like the large cities of continental Europe.
Although the civil structure of the house is convenient and flexible, it is a tragedy when it encounters a fire, and it is the season when everything is yellow and everything is yellow in October.
Looking at the rising black smoke, Bruneke gritted his teeth, and he said to Cornwallis: "Your Excellency Cornwallis, you can't let the fire burn, otherwise we will all die, hurry up and order your soldiers to put out the fire, and now I will personally lead my army to pursue those American rebels" Cornwallis, who had been dispossessed by the fire, heard Brunek's words, as if he had found his backbone, and he hurriedly nodded yes, and ordered his herald to immediately order all the British troops to put out the fire at once, and leave all the American troops to the Prussians to deal with.
Green was also very frightened when he looked at the fire, he didn't understand why it was burning for no reason, but as the attack of the pursuing British troops behind him began to weaken and a large number of British troops were transferred to the fire site to put out the fire, he was happy again.
God really blesses the American people, Green thought happily, but if Green knew that the fire was set by Old Melun, and that Old Melun had not considered the safety of Green and the American soldiers, I think Green would not be happy.
Under the cover of the fire, despite the fierce pursuit of the Prussians, Green still escaped with most of the American troops, looking at the embarrassed American troops, Green couldn't help but be very happy.
As long as the people are still there, there will be a chance to make a comeback, not to mention that the reinforcements from the Continental Congress are about to arrive, and when the reinforcements arrive, those British and Prussians must look good.
Looking at the American troops who had already escaped from the city, Bruneke regretted that if it hadn't been for the wrong time to burn this fire, these American troops would have been annihilated long ago.
Now let the tiger go back to the mountain, and I don't know how much trouble it will cause to myself in the future, Bruneke sighed.
But now was not the time to sigh, seeing that the fire was under the containment of the British army, although it no longer spread, but the area where the fire burned accounted for a quarter of the whole of Savannah, Brunecke had to rush to the place where the fire broke out with a thousand men to see if there was anything to be guarded against.
Green looked at the American troops outside the city, he suddenly remembered Old Morun, as if he had never seen Old Moren since he exited the city, and he hurriedly asked the men and horses originally arranged for Morun about Morun's whereabouts.
When he learned that the fire was ignited because of Morun, Green didn't think much about it, he thought that Moren suddenly remembered when he saw that the situation was not good, but then when he learned that Old Moren was still leading people to stop the British army at the place where the fire started, Green couldn't calm down, he felt that he had to rescue Morun and not let Moren risk it alone.
Green shouted to the American soldier who was slumped on the ground: "For the sake of the North American warriors, see the fire there, it was set by old Moren so that we can retreat safely, and now Morren is still leading people to stop the British army in the fire, what is he for, he is for all of us to evacuate Savannah safely.

Now we have withdrawn from Savannah, but Morun and they are still there, because they have been firmly bitten by the tail of the British army, and they will never be able to withdraw without rescue.
Fellow comrades, can we watch others sacrifice for us and remain indifferent, can we watch our comrades die?
All brave men, take up your guns and come with me" After saying that, Green rushed to the place where the fire was raging, and the American soldiers who were looking at each other after hearing Green's words saw Green rushing to the fire first, they no longer cared about any fatigue, they shouted and followed Green.
