Chapter 801: Occupation of Australia (1)

On the east coast of Australia, by the sea in the city of Sydney.

The British were urging their captured natives to work as coolies to expand their city of Sydney.

The British royal family has recently begun to emigrate to Australia, and the current scale of Sydney City is obviously not up to the standard of immigration, so in order to expand Sydney City, the 3,000 British ** team stationed here continues to attack the Australian indigenous tribes and capture the young and strong aborigines.

",,, smack! Hurry up! A British soldier whipped a young man and urged him not to be lazy and to work quickly!

Today, in addition to the 3,000 British ** team in Sydney City, there are more than 5,000 young and strong natives who have been captured.

In order to capture so many young and strong natives, the British can be said to have made great efforts, destroying more than 30 indigenous tribes, more than 40,000 aborigines were killed in the process, and many more were driven from the fertile land around Sydney to the barren depths of the continent.

The colonists were always covered in blood, and did so without mercy in the eyes of any British soldier.

Or perhaps, the yellow-skinned aborigines of Australia are not considered to be the same people as them in the eyes of these British, only like livestock.

Indeed, historically, the British were the most devastated in the entire colonial war, and the aborigines living in the colonies they occupied were always the most miserable, the Australian aborigines were almost completely exterminated, and in the end there were less than 30,000 people left, and the indigenous North American Indians were also almost exterminated. Compared with the cruelty of the British, although the Spaniards and the Dutch were equally cruel, the indigenous population still accounted for the majority of their colonies, and there was no danger of extinction.

On the coast, six British warships were docked on the sea, and several groups of British soldiers were also patrolling the land by the sea, monitoring the coastline.

Two British generals sat on the beach and laughed.

Suddenly, one of the British generals unconsciously glanced at the sea in the distance, and his eyes widened for a moment.

I saw a dozen huge warships on the horizon in the distance, no, not just a dozen, more and more, dozens, hundreds of them, and finally even the British general couldn't estimate how many there were.

There is no doubt that this is definitely a huge fleet, and it is definitely not the fleet of their British Empire, because if the British Empire sent such a large fleet, they would definitely be notified in advance, but they were not notified.

This is the enemy's fleet! A huge enemy fleet!

"Hey, what's going on?" Another British general looked at the expression of his companion who was laughing with him, and looked strangely at the sea in the distance with his companion's eyes.

"Oh, God, a huge fleet!" The British general's eyes widened instantly.

"Enemy attack! The British general, who was the first to be discovered, jumped up with a pale face, and roared as he ran in the direction of the British camp.

Another British general also jumped up and ran towards the camp.

After a while, the sound of the whistle resounded throughout the city of Sydney and the British camp.

A large group of British soldiers with flintlock pistols rushed to the edge of the coast, and the six British warships anchored in the sea also moved, and met the unnamed huge fleet on the way.

Whether it was the British generals and soldiers on land or the British generals and soldiers on the six battleships, their faces were full of nervousness, and they prayed that this huge fleet, which had suddenly appeared, was not an enemy, at least not an enemy coming towards Sydney.

On the sea, Zheng Sen and Yan Yingyuan stood on the bow of the flagship and observed the situation on the seaside of Sydney City through binoculars.

"This is the city of Sydney established by the British, and it is also our goal this time!" Zheng Sen put down the telescope in his hand and said to Yan Yingyuan.

In the entire Australian continent, the British only landed and developed in this area, basically occupying the city of Sydney, and the British had no place to stand.

"The British have only six warships, and they can't be the match for your South China Sea Fleet." Yan Yingyuan also nodded and said.

"Of course, a few British warships are not enough to give us the South China Sea Fleet." Zheng Sen responded with a smile.

Zheng Sen didn't say anything big, not to mention the dozens of Shenwei-class warships in their entire South China Sea Fleet, even if they only sent one Shenwei-class battleship of the South China Sea Fleet to meet them, he was seventy percent sure that he would send all these British warships to the bottom of the sea.

"Pass the order, the ships are ready to open fire and sink a few British warships!" Zheng Sen ordered quietly.

Immediately, the sailors of the South China Sea Fleet began to quickly adjust their guns and aim them in the direction of the six British battleships.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer, four thousand meters, three thousand meters!

Soon, all six British warships were within cannon range of the South China Sea Fleet.

"Fire!" Ordered the flag soldier to wave down the flag fiercely.

Bang

The shell was loaded, and then the artillery of the South China Sea Fleet struck the firing rope fiercely.

More than 20 warships of the South China Sea Fleet fired a salvo, and hundreds of cannon muzzles erupted in unison.

Shells rained down on the six British battleships.

The British on the British battleship were unprepared, and they were thinking about getting closer and then waving the flag to ask the South China Sea Fleet what it was doing first, and they did not expect that the cannon on the South China Sea Fleet battleship had such a long range, and they had just entered the distance of three thousand meters before opening fire in a short time.

"No," the British on the British battleship widened in fear, watching countless shells fly towards them.

"Bang bang bang" Countless columns of water exploded around the six British battleships.

One of the British battleships was the first to be shot, and five shells were fired.

"Ah" only a few loud bangs were heard, and a large number of British sailors on the battleship were thrown into the sea by the powerful force of the shells, and the entire wooden hull was also blown apart, and the broken hull slowly sank.

The other five British battleships were not much better, even if they were nearly three thousand meters away, the accuracy of the cannons on the Ming battleships was not so high, but more than 600 shells flew over to cover them, which was enough to destroy several British battleships.

Four British battleships were sunk in an instant, one tilted to the right, and it seemed that it could not escape the fate of sinking, until there was only one British battleship that was not in danger of sinking, but it was also hit by two shells, and half of the wooden hull was shattered.

A large number of British sailors struggled on the sea.

The British sailors on the battleship, which did not sink, were no better, running in fear up and down the badly wounded deck.

"Oh God," there were desperate shouts of British sailors.

"Boom, boom, boom" is another round of shells.

A British sailor who was struggling in the sea was hit by a cannonball, which turned directly into a flash of red and became a column of water that was blown up with the sea.

The two British warships, which had not yet sunk immediately, could no longer escape their doom and sank to the bottom of the sea in a violent explosion.

The sea was stained red with blood.

The battle lasted quickly, and the Ming warships sank six British battleships in just two rounds of shelling.
