Washington stayed at the front line all day to help Putnam advise. Putnam has just arrived and is not familiar with the stronghold on the other side of the defense line. In the evening, Washington returned to new york with great anxiety. A general attack is obviously about to begin. Where will it start? Can his inexperienced troops stand the battle? If new york is attacked by enemy warships, how to defend it? It was an anxious night, and his anxiety was justified, because on that night, the enemy carried out a plan that brought disaster to the Americans.

The plan we are talking about was formulated by General Hao, commander-in-chief of the British army. According to this plan, Henry. Sir Clinton will lead the vanguard of elite soldiers to attack the road from Jamestown to Bedford at night and seize a passage in Bedford Mountain, which is less than three miles from the town, thus bypassing the left side of the American outpost. It was in preparation for the night March that Sir Clinton led his troops back to the flat from Flatat Booth during the day. They came and went, which attracted Washington's attention.

In order to divert Americans' attention and prevent them from discovering that the British army secretly outflanked the American left wing, General Grant had to advance to Graveson before dawn, threatening the American right wing, and General De Hester shelled the central position of the American army where Colonel Hand was stationed. But wait for Henry. Sir Clinton fired a shot, indicating that he had succeeded. By bypassing the left wing of the American army, the two of them could attack forcefully. By then, the British army will launch extremely fierce attacks on the American army in various places.

Around 9 pm on the 26th, Henry. Sir Clinton led a vanguard of light infantry from the plains. Lord Yong Xi led the grenadiers, artillery and light cavalry forward, forming a middle road. Lord Cornwallis followed with heavy artillery. General Hao commanded the battle of this unit.

This is a silent March, without drums or horns. They are led by pro-British factions on Long Island. Go along the fork in the road, pass a causeway, cross a swamp, go ahead, and so cross vilen to Yameka Avenue. About two hours before dawn, they came less than half a mile from Bedford Pass and stopped to prepare for the attack. Just then, they captured an American patrol and accidentally learned that Bedford Pass was unguarded.

At midnight, in the hazy night, the front of the enemy has begun to appear. Sterling ordered Ventley to ambush in an orchard on the left side of the road, waiting for the enemy to approach. He deployed the Delaware regiment and the Maryland regiment on the ridge extending from this avenue to the top of the forest.

Attlee's militia fired for two or three days when the enemy approached, and then retreated to the Woods on Lord Sterling's left to set up a position. At that time, Lord Sterling was supported by the Kitchener Rifle Team. Kitchener put some troops in the hedge at the foot of the mountain and some in front of the forest. General Grant sent his light infantry to take the lead and deployed them in an orchard about 150 yards in front of the American army.

At this point, it was already dawn. A shot rang out between the British light infantry and the American rifle team. The battle lasted about two hours, and then the British retreated to their main force. In the meantime, the arrival of Captain Carpenter with two field guns strengthened Sterling's position. He put two guns on the hillside to control the main road and the nearby area of several hundred yards. General Grant also pushed the British artillery within 300 yards and arranged his brigade on the opposite hill, about 600 yards away from the American position. Both sides occasionally fire and bomb, but neither side wants to launch a full-scale war.

Lord Sterling's purpose is only to stop the enemy; We have pointed out that General Grant's new order is to know Henry. Sir Clinton should not attack with all his might until he reaches the left wing of the American army.

During this period, De Hester also began to carry out the tasks he undertook in the battle plan. He set out from Vla tubbs's camp and opened fire on the fort near Green Pass, where the Gandel Rifle Corps was stationed. General Sullivan in the rear heard the gunshots and immediately rushed to Colonel Hand's compound to observe the situation. However, according to the battle plan, De Hester did not advance from Booth, Flatat, but kept shelling the fort in front of the pass, and the US military also fought back fiercely. At the same time, a British warship continuously shelled the Red Corner Fort, which also distracted part of the attention of the US military.

During this period, new york was plunged into terror. Early in the morning, the citizens of new york heard the volley of rifles and the rumble of artillery, and knew that the battle had begun. In the morning, people are even more frightened when they hear the volley of rifles from all directions and occasionally the shooting of wild guns. Washington is still not sure whether this is part of a general offensive including new york. Five giant warships marched bravely in the storm, trying to go deep into the bay. Will their ship shell new york or land in northern new york? Fortunately, the strong headwind frustrated all their attempts, but a ship with less horsepower entered a quite deep place and fired at the battery in Red Corner, as mentioned above.
