Chapter 113: The Return of the King
Just when Angela and Zhao Jiaqing were worried about the future situation, what General Gordo, the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, did not know was that the main force he surrounded the new Chang'an was being surrounded by the men and horses brought by Li Liguo!
Since the attention of the expeditionary force was focused on New Chang'an, the capital of the Han Empire, and there was no formed army of more than 10,000 people on the Florida Peninsula, when Admiral Gordo found that he was attacked by Li Liguo's men, it was too late!
Li Liguo used all his strength as soon as he came up!
10,000 legendary Spartan line infantry as arrows, 100,000 troops followed, and the thin front of the expeditionary force placed in the rear easily collapsed!
Li Liguo's men worked non-stop, breaking through all the way to the Chinese army camp where the main force of Admiral Gordo's expeditionary force was!
Admiral Gordo, who suddenly got the news of the collapse in the rear, even thought that the messenger was joking with him for the first time!
In order to prevent those scattered Han Empire guerrillas in the rear front, the British descendants of the army of 20,000 people were placed!
In less than a day, it was defeated?
This is the Florida Peninsula that has been cleaned up by the British Empire, and this collapse is too mysterious!
However, when Admiral Gordo personally saw the military flag of the Han Empire at the lookout, his shirt was soaked with a cold sweat!
If everything the messenger said is true, then the situation on the Florida Peninsula, which is in good condition, will be reversed in an instant, and even the British Expeditionary Force, which has lost its main force, will be driven all the way to the sea by the army of the Han Empire!
At that point, everything will be back to pre-landing......
Oh, by the way, it should be said that the Han Empire will be even stronger!
Because their armament is no longer much different from their own, and because of the inexplicable order of the cabinet government, they helped the Han Empire eradicate the only Yellow Heaven Sect Master who opposed Li Liguo in the Florida Peninsula!
It's a dog!
Even if it is pessimistic, it has not yet reached that point, Admiral Gordo used the fastest speed to create a simple field defensive offensive in the Chinese army camp, and then ushered in the attacking troops led by the legendary Spartan line infantry!
Next, Admiral Gordo's perception of war was once again refreshed!
Those soldiers of the Han Empire who charged in the middle, no matter how much artillery bombardment and losses they received, they all unswervingly advanced and advanced!
After being fired several volleys by his own soldiers, he is still unwavering forward!
As if the corpses that fell on the road were not their own!
Admiral Gordo could already calculate in his heart that more than half of these soldiers of the Han Empire had already died when they stopped at a distance of more than 10 steps!
This was beaten to death under the step-by-step without resistance!
Next, it's a 3-column salvo of muskets at close range!
Those elite soldiers of Great Britain, looking at the soldiers of the Han Empire who were close at hand, in horror, pulled the trigger on themselves, and finally couldn't bear it!
At this distance, the flintlock pistol hits more than 80 percent!
It is conceivable that the first few rows of the infantry line in Great Britain were almost emptied by Qi Brush!
You say, the soldiers in the back row, how much courage do they have, reload and shoot?
After one salvo, the British infantry began to appear with deserters with a nervous breakdown, and after two rounds of three volleys, the British infantry front was already riddled with holes!
Subsequently, the legendary Spartan line infantry launched a bayonet charge!
The Russian line infantry that followed up widened and widened the gap in the battlefield, and Admiral Gordo kept sending reserves to fill it, but Li Liguo also did not hesitate to send reserves!
The soldiers of one division and one division were thrown into the offensive battlefield, and the British soldiers on top of it were crushed!
In the end, under the charge of Li Liguo's whole army, the field defense line temporarily arranged by General Gordo completely collapsed!
Even the defenders in the new Chang'an City saw the British soldiers being chased and killed outside the city!
Angela decisively gave the order, opened the city gate, and cooperated with the 'friendly army' that suddenly appeared outside!
Admiral Gordo watched the scene of defeat like a mountain, and in despair, he took out the flintlock handcuff he was carrying, aimed it at his head, and pulled the trigger!
The British Legion, which had already been defeated and lost, no one cared about the life or death of Admiral Gordo, the commander, and everyone was thinking now about how to save their lives!
The elite of the 100,000 British expeditionary force, under the attack of Li Liguo and Angela, quickly routed, and then evolved from rout to massacre!
The massacre lasted for 3 days and 3 nights, 100,000 elite British expeditionary forces, and only a few thousand escaped in the end.
These people have completely broken their backbones, leaving a deep shadow in their hearts, and when they encounter the military banner of the Han Empire in the future, their combat morale will definitely be discounted!
However, these routs did not escape back to the British Empire's sphere of influence intact, and the guerrillas led by Ares and Guan Yu seized this opportunity to beat the water dogs, so that these thousands of British soldiers who had no organization and scattered were slaughtered again......
Li Liguo, who had achieved a decisive victory, divided several of his legions and spread them to the entire Florida region, recovering the towns planted with the flag of the British Empire!
Without the main force and scattered soldiers, the British Expeditionary Force could not resist the legionnaires who had been honed by the battlefield!
In less than a month, the entire Florida peninsula was completely recovered, and even a legion of troops even invaded Georgia!
In the battle of annihilating Admiral Gordo, Li Liguo in order to quickly defeat the opponent, continued to let the legendary Spartan line infantry with a constant and full morale value be on the front line, as a result, when the 100,000 main forces of the British Expeditionary Force were destroyed, the 10,000 legendary Spartan line infantry, the loss reached three-quarters!
It can be said that the legendary Spartan line infantry, as a separate formation, has disappeared......
However, Li Liguo was not too worried, he scattered all these tenacious soldiers into the various regiments of the reorganized Han Empire Field Army to serve as grassroots officers!
After the replenishment of the new Chang'an troops, Li Liguo's command once again restored the full establishment of 100,000 people in 5 regiments!
And the army, which is mixed with a large number of grassroots officers of the legendary Spartan Line infantry, will obviously be more effective than before!
Ares and Guan Yu's troops, after the recovery of the Florida Peninsula, ended the mission of guerrilla warfare and returned to New Chang'an, and Li Liguo was about to start a full-scale war with the British Empire! (To be continued.) Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info)
