Britain is an island nation that plays the role of a-stirring stick on the continent of Europa, and the Dutch Empire is strong.

King George had long had the idea of weakening the Netherlands, and Prince Henry, as a senior member of the royal family, reduced the interests of the royal family to one with the interests of England, and for the sake of the royal interests everywhere, he ordered warships to bombard the Dutch troops deployed on the coastline.

Two hundred ship-borne guns covered the coastline, and the rear guns fired at a rate of two minutes, and the first round of shells flew over the shallow sea and fell into the Dutch barracks on the coast, where the Dutch soldiers were killed and wounded heavily, and there were corpses everywhere, as well as new recruits who were running in the open space in fear.

The British fleet did not relent, the artillery on the battleship began the second round of shelling, more than 100 troop transport boats struggled to sail towards the shore, and the officers and men of the 1st Dutch Regiment stationed on the shore, some of the soldiers continued to hold on, and some of them shamefully deserted.

Soon the second round of shelling began, this time the British adjusted the muzzle, many Dutch soldiers who chose to hold their positions finally calmed down and were determined to defend their positions, but they were blown up by this round of artillery fire and lost confidence, there were more and more corpses on the ground, and there were stumps and broken arms floating in the sky, and more and more Dutch soldiers gave up defense and retreated to Huizhou City.

However, some Dutch soldiers gritted their teeth and held on, shooting with rifles at the British boats approaching the shore, even killing a British soldier was enough.

The Dutch fire was very sparse, and the Royal Cavalry Regiment, under the cover of artillery, finally approached the beach, and more than a thousand British soldiers jumped from the boat, and the cat bent on the waist to charge, and the Dutch positions were sparsely gunfired, trying to prevent the enemy from landing.

The British soldiers were not afraid at all, and opened fire on the Dutch troops in the charge, and there were ship-borne guns that continued to fire cannons, and finally the Dutch army was not as strong as the British soldiers, and was suppressed by the British soldiers with rifles and artillery, and there were constantly positions broken through by the British soldiers, and the Dutch soldiers on the positions were either killed or surrendered.

When most of the positions were broken through, the Dutch troops who chose to hold on to them finally could not withstand it, and the British Royal Cavalry Regiment attacked more sharply, and the remaining Dutch troops were forced to abandon their positions and retreat in the direction of Huizhou City.

The vanguard of the Household Cavalry Regiment occupied the coastline, killed the wounded Dutchmen, and tied up dozens of captured Dutch soldiers and threw them into the sea to feed the fish.

After completing these killings, they gradually pushed inland to create favorable terrain for the arrival of large forces.

Prince Henry had guards escorted at the landing

After landing, he ordered the whole army to march to Huizhou City, so that the Dutch could experience the strength of the British Empire.

The remnants of the Dutch First Advance Corps gathered in Xin'an County, and there were still more than 800 people left in the whole army, some wanted to withdraw to Huizhou City to join the large army, but others thought that retreating to Huizhou City at this time would only make the governor even more angry.

It would be better for a few people to go back and report to the headquarters, where they are holding out and buying time for the governor's reinforcements.

This idea was eventually supported by the majority of the remnants, and more than 800 soldiers climbed the city wall of Xin'an County and used the city wall to resist the attack of the British.

Henry personally led the main force to Huizhou City, and he needed to get in touch with the British all over Guangdong, especially Edmund and Jackson, and gain their support in order to get the Royal Cavalry Regiment to open up the situation quickly.

The deputy regiment commander reported to him that the Dutch soldiers were stationed in Xin'an County, and asked for instructions on whether to break through Xin'an County?

Henry led the war horse from the British island, and said to the deputy commander: "We have given the Dutch a dismount, the Dutch will realize the strength of the empire, there is no need to continue fighting, after all, there are common interests, there is no essential difference between friends and enemies." ”

The Royal Cavalry Regiment bypassed the county seat of Xin'an and rushed in the direction of Huizhou City.

It happened that the Second Infantry Regiment, led by Tolten, rushed to Xin'an County, and encountered dozens of deserters from the First Infantry Corps on the way. ”

A second lieutenant said in horror: "The British are coming, there are many soldiers, and there are warships, and our first regiment can't hold it at all, so we have withdrawn." ”

"The Governor is dead, and from now on the first regiment is under my command."

He gave the deserters two choices, either shoot them now, or become soldiers of the second regiment.

Tolten gave the deserters three seconds to consider, and before they could wait three seconds, the deserters of the first regiment chose to become soldiers of the second regiment and die for Tolten.

Tolten, who had been deserted, continued to advance, gathering more than 200 deserters from the First Regiment along the way, and dozens of soldiers of the First Regiment galloped on horses on two hills away from the county seat of Xin'an.

Torten thought he was also a deserter, so he asked the deputy commander to capture him.

Forced them to surrender, but the group was not deserters.

They were troops stationed in Xin'an County, and they rushed back to ask the governor for help.

The group was brought to Tolten, and a company commander and Tolten said: "The British and my Dutch empire have torn their faces and surrounded Xin'an City, and I will go to ask the governor to lead an army to reinforce Xing'an County, and rescue the troops in the city." ”

Hearing that there were still hundreds of soldiers of the First Regiment in Xin'an County, Tolten had a careful thought, he was determined to become the supreme commander of the Dutch in the Huaxia Continent, so he must have more people and more weapons.

Only in this way can Robben be suppressed, Robben went to Wuhua County before and ate the fourth regiment in Wuhua County, Robben's strength will surpass him.

He decided to take the risk of leading his army to Xin'an County and eat the remnants of Xin'an County, when suddenly a scout came to report to him.

There were thousands of British soldiers in front of them to kill here, most of the Dutch soldiers panicked, Tolten forced to calm down, and said to everyone: "The main force of the British is rushing here, and now it is death to retreat, it is better to sit down and talk with the British, maybe you can get the support of the British, and attack Huizhou City again." ”

His subordinates were also impressed by him, and followed him to the British troops, but Tolten had them stationed here, and he led twenty guards to meet the British.

Prince Henry was in high spirits, led the army into Huizhou Mansion, and gave the Dutch a dismount in the first battle, and he continued to advance to Huizhou City with a cavalry regiment, forcing the Dutch to sign a treaty to recognize the British as the leader of the Chinese land.

This was also the task given to him by King George, and just as Henry's thoughts were wandering, the deputy commander said to him: "Your Royal Highness, there is a group of Dutchmen in front of you, saying that the commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment has asked to see His Royal Highness. ”

Henry was furious, what qualifications did a small infantry commander have to visit him, and if he wanted to see him, he should at least let him come in person.

He asked the deputy head of the regiment to meet the Dutch, but only Kuiyi himself came, and no one else was seen.

The deputy regiment knew that Prince Henry liked to put on a show, who made him the British royal family, and came to Tolten and others with the Prince's order.

"His Royal Highness the Prince has an order for the governor of your country to come and visit him in person, and the others will go as far as they want."
