The envoys of New China broke all the plans of the British alliance.After Ryan and Antonio sent the military back to the states, the legislatures of the two states, after careful deliberation, decided to withdraw the militia.Victoria's Premier West, although he expressed support for the old man, could not go against the decision of the parliament.He also knew that this matter was tricky, and if the army of the Huaxing Army really came to attack, he couldn't afford to take this risk.After going back and forth, the British coalition delayed for nearly a week on the other side of New China before finally deciding to withdraw the militias from the states.To be on the safe side, only logistical supplies were provided for Bruce.Bruce was angry, but he had no choice but to accept the result.After all, they were only allies, and they did not obey his obligations.After all the militias in the two states were withdrawn, Bruce only attacked New China with his own 30,000 soldiers.Shi Dakai was very satisfied with this result, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses against 30,000 British troops, even if the weapons were inferior, it was enough to delay the arrival of the Huaxing army.After the battle began, the British army crossed the river in two ways.One is to cross the river directly by boat, and the other is to build a pontoon bridge over the river.These days, the British army has collected thousands of wooden boats from all over the country, enough to build pontoon bridges over the river.The army crossed the river mainly through pontoon bridges, and crossed the river by boat in order to seize the beachhead and prevent the artillery fire of the New Huaxia Army.When Bruce's fleet of hundreds was destroyed, he didn't even have a single cannon under his command.The artillery of Victoria and New South Wales was all transferred back to the batteries on the coastline to prepare for the landing of the Huaxing Army.Because there was no artillery cover, the New Huaxia Army reassured itself to change the direction of the artillery bombardment on the opposite bank.Bruce had two pontoon bridges built during the week, but they were blown to pieces by the artillery of the New Chinese Army.In the end, in desperation, after the discussion between Bruce and the generals.First send elite troops to cross the river by boat, and then destroy the artillery of the New Huaxia Army, and then build pontoon bridges to cross the river.And so, the war began.Hundreds of small boats set off from the other side of the river one after another, rushing towards the opposite bank.Each wooden boat carried ten British soldiers, scattered apart, and the battle line was stretched out at a distance of several kilometers.At this time, the artillery of the New Huaxia Army had no way, and the wooden boats were different from the pontoon bridges.The pontoons were fixed, and the artillerymen were easily able to adjust the coordinates for firing.But wooden boats were swimming everywhere in the river and could not deliver a precise strike at all.The New Huaxia Army, which had only hundreds of artillery pieces, bombarded the river indiscriminately for a while, and only blew up a dozen or so British wooden boats.The main thing is that the artillery fires solid iron balls, and they do not explode after being hit.Only when the iron ball is accurately smashed into the wooden boat can it produce lethality.This kind of precision is like pie in the sky.Basically, hundreds of shells were fired, and it is estimated that only one hit was hit.The artillery shells of the New Huaxia Army quickly ran out, and the infantry defending on the shore hurriedly lined up and took turns shooting at the British wooden boats in the river.The British also fired all their guns on the shore in the river, and for a time the thousands of miles of battle line were filled with gunfire.But it didn't take long for the two sides to fight, and the huge difference in weapons became apparent.Although the British had no cover on the wooden boat, they were able to crouch down and shoot accurately at the New Huaxia Army.The New Huaxia Army could only take a rough aim, the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the British army, and the bullet did not know where it had drifted out.After the first row of firing was finished, before they had time to step back and change their ammunition, the British army's dense bullets had already smashed over.Only half an hour later, the infantry of the Huaxing army on the shore lay down hundreds of people.The commander saw that the situation was not right, and he was completely used as a live target by the British army.So as soon as the military horn sounded, the whole army withdrew towards the outside of Tianjing City.Because the artillery was too heavy, the artillery did not retreat with the artillery, and directly used the remaining explosives to blow up all the artillery.The vanguard of the British army successfully seized the beachhead, and the large army also quickly built pontoon bridges on the river.The river was more than 200 meters wide, and it took only one day and one night to build two pontoon bridges.So 30,000 troops quickly crossed the river, and all of them crossed the river within three days of the battle."
Lord Governor, look at these Chinese, but they are all cowardly guys, we only used this price to cross the river, Victoria and New South Wales are not willing to cooperate with us, we don't want them to interfere now" Bruce and Joseph stood on the land of New China, their hearts full of the pleasure of conquest.Joseph was full of mockery, and now he doesn't take the New Huaxia Army seriously."
Yes, you said the same Chinese.How can the difference between the Huaxing Army and the New Huaxia Army be so big, one uses amazing weapons, and the other uses weapons that are quite backward, what a strange nation" Bruce also sneered, with a hint of a victor's smile on his face.All the generals around him laughed arrogantly, and after all the 30,000 troops were assembled, Bruce also ordered an attack on the capital of New China.The New China Army was fortified day by day, and although it resisted, it did not fight with the British army.The British army was overwhelmed, marched rapidly northward, and it took less than three days to defeat the Tianjing City.The New Huaxia Army had already organized soldiers and horses to move the people in the city to the mountainous areas in the north.And when he left, he was clear and did not leave a grain of food with the British army.Formerly known as Brisbane, the city has now been completely transformed into Chinatown.The buildings in the city should all be changed to Chinese style, which makes people think that they have come to China.Because the New Huaxia Army had just gained a foothold in Australia, it completely implemented the policy of lightly taxing and paying little money, so there was no city wall built around it.If the walls are built on all sides, it will not be easy for the British army to take this place.Because of this, Shi Dakai made up his mind not to fight hard, he didn't dare to take this risk easily.Now the Han people have finally gained a foothold here, and the number is the hundreds of thousands he brought at the beginning.It's not as good as the domestic one, and you can continue to replenish it if it's gone.Once the men are done, there is no chance to start over.The British attack went very smoothly, and even Bruce was a little baffled.At the beginning, because he did not have artillery in his hand, he was worried that if the Chinese held it to the death, he would really not be able to take it here for a while.But now he walked into the city with his army, and looking at everything around him, it felt like a dream.I don't know why, he always has a feeling of unsteadiness in his heart."
Governor, in front of you is the Governor's House in Brisbane.These Chinese are really a bunch of hillbillies, and they actually put their Chinese tiles on the roof, you see how nondescript this building is" Joseph arrived here with the vanguard army a long time ago, and as soon as Bruce entered the city, he asked people to simply clean up the place and greet Bruce outside the door with all the generals
