Chapter 802: Occupy Australia (2)

Six of their warships were sunk so quickly that the British generals and soldiers on land couldn't believe their eyes at all, and they all seemed to be stupid, thinking they were dreaming.

"God, what are the enemies!" In command of the three thousand British soldiers on land was an English viscount, Viscount Dalgrass.

Viscount Dalglas looked terrified, and without thinking too much, he sank six of their warships, which could not be anything other than the enemy. The enemy is nothing more, and this is still an extremely formidable enemy.

With so many enemy ships, there must be a lot of soldiers on board, and judging from the artillery displayed by the enemy in sinking six of their warships just now, the enemy's firearms technology is still above that of the British Empire.

Viscount Dalgrass simply didn't know how to stand up to the enemy with only 3,000 soldiers at his disposal.

"Boom Boom" As the battleship approached, the artillery began to bombard the British soldiers on the shore.

As many as hundreds of British soldiers were torn apart by shells, and the ground was stained with blood.

"Retreat, retreat!" Viscount Dalgrass yelled.

No matter how many soldiers the enemy transported, on this coast, in the face of the threat of battleship artillery, they could not have the slightest chance of victory, so they could only avoid the inland first, and wait for the enemy to land and see the strength of the enemy army before they knew if there was a chance of victory.

Viscount Dalgrass did not have the will to fight, and only wanted to take the 3,000 British soldiers under his command to dodge first, and even the expanding Sydney Castle Viscount Dalgrass did not plan to defend it, but directly took the 3,000 British soldiers to avoid the depths of the continent.

After all, the city of Sydney is too close to the coast, not to mention the soldiers brought by the enemy warships, even dozens of enemy warships can blow them all up, so giving up is the best option.

Immediately, Viscount Dalgrass and his British soldiers abandoned the coast, as well as the city of Sydney, and continued to retreat inland.

Not long after, the ships of the South China Sea Fleet docked, and Yan Yingyuan and other officers and men of the Fourth Army began to land.

This time on the expedition to Australia, the Fourth Army did not send all of them, only 13,000 men came. However, the war horses that the Fourth Army originally attached to were brought.

Australia is not as narrow as Luzon, with many mountains and dense forests, and war horses are almost useless. On the contrary, Australia is very large, especially in the central region, and there are even large grasslands, and the Fourth Army wants to fight in Australia, and the war horse can play the greatest and most useful role.

"Quick, quick!" First, a part of the soldiers of the Fourth Army landed, and after forming a defensive position, they escorted the landing of other soldiers, horses, and supplies.

In about two hours, all the soldiers of the Fourth Army and most of the supplies had landed and unloaded.

On the flagship of the South China Sea Fleet, Yan Yingyuan was bidding farewell to Zheng Sen and was also preparing to land.

"Admiral Zheng, here is the next place to teach us the Fourth Army." Yan Yingyuan said to Zheng Sen.

"Commander Yan, don't worry, although I will return to Indonesia with the South China Sea Fleet to deliver another batch of supplies, I will also leave seven warships here to assist you." Zheng Sen said.

To occupy the area around Sydney City, Yan Yingyuan's more than 10,000 soldiers of the Fourth Army alone are not enough, and there must be a certain strength at sea, and seven South China Sea Fleet warships are enough.

"Then thank you Admiral Zheng!" Yan Yingyuan nodded, and after bidding farewell to Zheng Sen, he changed to another ship and sailed to the coast to land.

As Yan Yingyuan also arrived on the shore, the last batch of supplies was also unloaded from the ship.

Feng Houdun rode a war horse and quickly came to the front of Yan Yingyuan.

"Big brother, the spies are coming to report that the British have abandoned Sydney City and don't know where to hide." Feng Houdun said.

"Escaped?" Yan Yingyuan frowned, but he didn't think it was strange, the British only had three thousand people, and seeing their tens of thousands of troops landing, it was the wisest choice to abandon the city and hide.

Just as Yan Yingyuan thought, when the Fourth Army landed, Viscount Dalgrass watched with a monocular telescope at a high point thousands of kilometers away, and saw that the Ming army not only numbered tens of thousands, but everyone carried a gun on their backs, and even the Ming army carried war horses.

"Let's go, let's occupy Sydney City first!" Yan Yingyuan said.

The army will be stationed here for a period of time in the future, and the city of Sydney will be their base in the future, and it must be occupied, and the British will run better, so that they will not need to destroy the city of Sydney and rebuild it.

As for how to exterminate the fleeing British in the future, Yan Yingyuan was not worried.

Soon, Yan Yingyuan and other Fourth Army entered the city of Sydney, which the British had abandoned.

It has to be said that after a period of construction by the British, the city of Sydney can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people, which is suitable for the future garrison of the Fourth Army.

"Big brother, there are a lot of uncivilized natives imprisoned in the city!" Feng Houdun came over and said to Yan Yingyuan again.

"Oh? Take me to see it! Yan Yingyuan said.

At the moment when the South China Sea Fleet just appeared, because it might be about to fight, the construction of Sydney City was naturally suspended, and the young and strong natives who served as construction coolies were also hit and imprisoned by the British in more than a dozen gathering areas, and then the British abandoned Sydney City, so naturally they couldn't take care of the indigenous coolies who were imprisoned.

Soon, Yan Yingyuan was led by Feng Houdun to one of the gathering areas where the natives were imprisoned.

There are nearly 400 natives imprisoned here, and at this moment, these natives are squatting in the gathering area one by one, looking at the rifles in the hands of the Ming soldiers around them, with fear on their faces, you can imagine how deep the memory of this style of weapon is for them.

"Big brother, these natives are uncivilized, not only are they not clothed, but they can't communicate, what should I do?" Feng Houdun said with some embarrassment.

Because these natives are not civilized, even if they were still in the tribe before, it is impossible to have clothes to wear, and it is good to wear two animal skins, but they were captured by the British, and even if there are animal skins, they have been confiscated by the British, so that almost all of these natives are naked.

Not only that, in order to prevent these natives from escaping, the British made them work as coolies, and at the same time, they only gave them one meal a day, making these natives all yellow and thin, and they were full of weakness when they walked.

The British are also ruthless enough, I don't know what kind of high-pressure tactics they usually use, so that the British have fled for so long, and these natives don't even know that the British have fled, and they don't dare to get out of the gathering area.

Looking at these miserable natives, Yan Yingyuan smiled.

"It's okay, it's okay, maybe we want to exterminate the fleeing British in the future, and we still have to rely on these natives!" Yan Yingyuan said mysteriously.

"Big brother, what do you mean? Can these natives help us exterminate the fleeing British? Feng Houdun said with a blank face, wondering what ability these natives with no clothes, yellow muscles, and incomprehensible speech had the ability to help them exterminate the fleeing British.

"Don't care about these for now, quickly pass the order, and distribute some of the military rations to these natives, so that they can eat as much as they want!" Yan Yingyuan stopped and did not explain immediately, but ordered with a smile.

"Yes, big brother!" Although Feng Houdun still couldn't figure it out, and Yan Yingyuan didn't explain it to him immediately, he was not in a hurry, and immediately went to carry out Yan Yingyuan's order first.
