The signs of chaos in the British Isles did not affect the landing plan of the Taiping Army, and this time, Hong Tiancheng not only prepared a full division in the first wave of landing troops, but also put dozens of Makqin heavy machine guns and grenadiers on it.

The Allied naval fleet had fallen apart, and the British did not have many naval sail warships, which were not enough to pose a threat to the Taiping transport fleet escorted by ironclad ships, so Hong Tiancheng moved everything that could be moved.

The landing warfare in the 17th century was still very easy, there were no barbed wire machine guns, let alone long-range high-power artillery coverage and aircraft bombardment, and the Taiping landing force only dealt with some backward batteries and infantry with muskets.

If you land on a deserted tidal flat, you won't even encounter resistance, but if you land in that kind of place, with the ability to unload ships at sea in this era, it's easy for people to go ashore and it's difficult for supplies to go ashore.

So, the best landing place is still a ready-made deep-water port.

Without exception, these ports were guarded by British defenders and batteries.

It's just, with the firepower of the Taiping Army, can you use those scruples?

The main guns of the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan, which were reloaded with ammunition, bombarded the well-equipped Dover Harbour batteries in the Kingdom of England, and the 305-mm cannons that should not have appeared in this era were fired down, and the seemingly sturdy batteries and their cannons rose to heaven in an instant......

The coastal defense batteries carefully prepared by the British were all uprooted in just one day under the fire of the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan ships!

It's not a war, it's all bullying!

It's like driving a tank to crush an army with cold weapons!

This battery was not designed to fight 305-mm guns at all, but only against ordinary front-loading naval guns......

The poor Dover battery group, which could not even touch the edge of the Zhenyuan ship and the Dingyuan ship, was in a situation of passive bombing all day long, and the British artillery on it did not turn a blind eye to death, and they did not even have a chance to open fire!

What should I do if I can't hit the enemy?

Wait for death!

The one-sided slaughter at the Dover battery dealt another blow to the British defenders, and the next day the Taiping soldiers rushed to the shore in landing boats and armed with German 98K rifles, and a few rounds of guns broke the outcropping British defenders.

There is no other reason, the Zhenyuan ship and the Dingyuan ship completely washed the shore defense infantry position in Dover before the landing of the Taiping Army, the 305 giant cannon is not a 75mm rapid-fire gun, and if one cannon goes down, even the anti-artillery trench will be blown up!

The Taiping landing battle was fought very easily, most of the recalcitrant British troops were killed, and the Taiping landing force did not even shoot a few rounds of volleys to defeat tens of thousands of defenders in the entire Dover!

Of course, among these tens of thousands of British troops, there were not only regular troops, but also a large number of musket militia.

The musket militia was mainly armed with obsolete flintlock pistols and even arquebuses.

In fact, the weapons of the British regular army were not too bad, and the effective range of the Minny rifle was not much worse than that of the breech rifle.

It's a pity that today's war mode has been further changed by the Taiping Army, and it is no longer individual rifles that determine the trend of the battlefield, but artillery!

As Hong Tiancheng publicly proclaimed, the truth is only within the range of the cannon!

On this day, the British learned the truth of what it means to be within the range of a cannon......

Before dying and believing in the truth of the Han Chinese, most British soldiers made a wise choice.

As a result, the surrender of the British defenders at Dover far outnumbered the number of routs and battle dead!

After the Taiping landing force gained a firm foothold in the Taiping army, the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan acted as diligent transporters, escorting the Taiping transport fleet to transport a large amount of ammunition back and forth.

And the remaining grenadiers and Maxim heavy machine guns were all transported, and 20 75mm rapid-fire guns were all in place!

The ammunition, supplies and weapons and equipment were all in place, and after the Taiping army had transported a full three main divisions, it began to attack the capital of London with Dover as a base!

Of course, during this period of time, the British Army gathered more than 200,000 regular troops, and almost ninety percent of the new army troops of the British Isles were placed on the line from London to Dover, setting up a front of interception!

The British army built a large number of trench fortifications, in addition to the barbed wire, which was quite the scale of the First World War, the trenches became deeper, the anti-artillery holes were stronger, and the communication trenches and so on were gradually improved.

Humanity is very capable of learning in war.

It's just that these perfect fortifications just increased the casualties of the Taiping army, and they couldn't stop the Taiping army at all!

The transportation of troops and personnel in the port of Dover never stopped, and the British Navy did not dare to show its head in the face of the Taiping transport fleet escorted by ironclad ships.

The long-range artillery fire was first covered with 75mm rapid-fire guns, and then the Taiping infantry stepped on the time point of the extension of the artillery fire, launched an almost perfect infantry and artillery coordinated operation, and rushed to the British defensive line.

Immediately afterwards, the grenadier was erected, aimed at the dense trenches, and small grenades were thrown into the trenches, while the Maxim heavy machine gun took the opportunity to occupy the commanding heights and suppress the British troops in the trenches!

The Taiping army, which has a Makqin heavy machine gun, is not too easy to suppress the firepower of the British army!

As for the roundabout attack of the British cavalry, only two Maxim heavy machine guns were needed on the flanks and in the rear, and the British cavalry would die as many as they came!

When the Taiping army rushed close to the trench, a row of grenades was thrown in, and while the smoke of gunpowder did not dissipate, they rushed with bayonets, and the British troops in the trench basically collapsed!

This kind of offensive battle is inevitable Taiping casualties, but after this set of offensive processes, more than eighty percent of the British regular army will collapse, even if it encounters a few stubborn British troops, the Taiping army will not be able to carry out the second and third rounds of charge.

Artillery, grenadiers, Maxim heavy machine guns and grenades were suppressed and slaughtered in all directions at medium and long distances, even the British soldiers who stayed in the bunker trenches were still miserable, and they could not stop the tide of morgue!

The most important thing is that the Taiping army will not retreat at all, and after pouring up, it will either die or completely defeat the British defenders!

The two sides almost played a 1-5 battle loss ratio!

The death of a Taiping soldier will kill at least 5 British soldiers!

The British are fighting tenaciously under the propaganda slogan of the British government to protect their home and defend the country, but only to this extent, and they are 108,000 miles away from being afraid of death.

Under the fearless morale of the Taiping army and the superior firepower, the British army was defeated again and again, and more than 200,000 regular troops and more militia units were beaten all the way to the capital of London, leaving less than one adult still fighting ......
