Chương 244: The British Teetered

Commander-in-Chief of the Forces, the Duke of York, Prince Frederick was on a horse, peering through his spyglass, watching the French on the other side of the river.

"Fire!" Frederick shouted and the cannons positioned along the banks of the River Thames roared to life. Enormous plumes of smoke billowed from the cannons as they sent their iron projectiles hurtling toward the French forces on the opposite bank.

"Return fire!" Napoleon ordered, and his own artillery crews quickly sprang into action. French cannons, strategically positioned along the South Bank, fired back at the British forces with precision.

The Battle of the River Thames had escalated into a brutal exchange of artillery fire. Cannonballs roared through the sky, tearing through buildings, and wreaking havoc on both sides of the river. Smoke and dust shrouded the battlefield, making it difficult for either side to see their targets clearly.
