After cursing the stubborn Spaniards fiercely, Anthony Wayne ordered a fierce attack on Baton Rouge.
Although the American Army had a decisive advantage in terms of force, Elcano had built five or six lines of defense north of the city over the past few months. With concentrated defense, the Americans truly couldn't overcome this short-term.
Two days later, Wayne was directing a troop of daredevils to cross the outermost defense line of the enemy when a courier suddenly came to report to him: "General, Mr. Wilson, the 'mayor' of Natchez, has something urgent to see you about."
Wayne couldn't help but frown.
Natchez was Fort Rosalie during the France colonial period in Louisiana, the largest American settlement in the lower Mississippi River.
There wasn't a formal city established here yet, but because of the large population, the Mississippi provisional territorial government appointed someone to manage the area, and people got used to calling him mayor.
