After Yang Jincong and the generals held a military meeting, the large army quickly moved forward and launched an attack on the city of Exeter.The British had just retreated from Plymouth and were still resting in Exeter, but they didn't expect the news of the Huaxing army coming soon.The battle of Plymouth scared the courage of these soldiers.Without thinking about it, the large army immediately retreated in the direction of London.There were still millions of British troops on all sides of London, and at least there was something to rely on after withdrawing.When they left, the millions of people in Exeter were terrified.The example of Plymouth is there, the whole city was bombed into ruins by the Huaxing army, and the women were arrested and toyed with.The people of the whole of Britain spread it all over the country, treating Huaxing Army as if it were a demon.If the British troops did not resist, the hearts of the citizens became even more fearful.The timid, rich, and small bags packed up their belongings and soon fled to the northern cities, and some followed the British army directly to London to retreat.The Huaxing army did not come, and the city was already in chaos.On the contrary, the tens of thousands of local guard troops were quite backbone, and all of them dug trenches and set up defenses, and resolutely defended outside the city.Young and middle-aged people in the city also joined the army one after another, whether they were students, peasants, or veterans, forming a militia of more than 200,000 people to resolutely resist the Huaxing army outside the city.Large British troops can be withdrawn, they are not from this place in the first place.Now it's hard to protect itself, where is there any spirit to defend here.But the people of Exeter can't escape, they have lived here for generations, and at least they have to fight to defend their hometown.After the 500,000 troops of the Huaxing Army marched eastward, they were completely seeing the Buddha and killing the Buddha and killing the gods along the way.As long as someone dares to resist, there is usually no chance of survival.Sporadic resistance was fought all the way, the largest being a force of thousands of men.Just the ironclad chariot went up, a few shells and machine gun fire, and it was all solved.The fundamental reason why the Huaxing Army fought so easily was because of the general strategic goal, not to enslave Britain and completely rule here.Qiao Zhiqing just came for revenge, and by the way, he made up for the military expenses spent this time.Therefore, the Huaxing Army did not need to divide troops to occupy cities in Britain, no matter what kind of operations were carried out, they were all large forces acting together.This is the same as the tactics of the horse nation back then, not to grab territory, but to grab things.Leave when you're done, sleep when you're full, and grab when you're full.Anyway, this place is not my own, so I can toss it as much as I want.After arriving in the city of Exeter, the Huaxing army soon launched an attack on the British position.The British army sent many forces to harass along the way, and they also knew the strength of the Huaxing army, so they only dared to defend outside the city, and did not dare to take the initiative to attack.After the Huaxing army launched an attack, the artillery fired in unison.The ironclad chariots rumbled, and three hundred chariots attacked the east of the city at the same time."
Soldiers, fight with the devil to defend your hometown" "Defend your loved ones and defend your hometown" "The British army's eastern position was completely covered by artillery fire, and the generals braved the artillery fire to roar at the soldiers.All the British troops were hiding in the trenches with their eyebrows on their faces, and the power of the Huaxing army's artillery was beyond their imagination.Soldiers were constantly being torn apart by bombing, broken arms were flying around the position, and there were screams like pigs killing everywhere."
Don't be afraid, get up quickly, stop this monster" "Shoot, shoot quickly, God will bless us"""The commander roared again, took the lead and showed his head, and opened fire on the armored combat vehicle with his gun.Bullets on the battlefield flew like beans.The British opened fire on the ironclad chariots, but to no avail.It's just crackling in the iron armor, constantly splashing the slightest spark."
Knock, knock, knock" 300 ironclad chariots constantly rotate the battery, and where the attack is fierce, they will fire their guns.At this time, they had already rushed to a distance of three hundred meters, and the infantry of the Huaxing Army also launched an attack at this time.Thousands of artillery pieces fired a salvo at the British position, completely turning the eastern side of Exeter into a sea of shrapnel.Anyone who dared to come out of the British army was quickly splattered with shrapnel and flesh.Within ten minutes of bombardment, all British troops on the battlefield withdrew in other directions.No matter how the commander roared, not a single one followed the order.It wasn't a regular army in the first place, and some were just raw melon eggs that had just been picked up with a rifle.It is not easy to hold on for such a long time.The armored fighting vehicles swept through their positions with machine guns, and soon divided the positions of the British army for more than ten miles.After the infantry of the Huaxing Army launched an assault, there was little resistance on the front front.At three hundred meters, the mortars bombarded again.The British scolded their mothers one by one, and the troops behind the position began to flee.Less than two hours before and after the attack, the positions of the British troops completely collapsed.As soon as the east of the city was lost, the Huaxing army directly inserted itself from both flanks to other positions.The infantry on both sides were on contact, and where could the British rifles withstand the strafing of submachine guns.The Huaxing army swept along the trenches and soon occupied all the positions outside the city.The trenches that the British had painstakingly dug for months were not used at all, and they were all scattered and fled.Huaxing's army easily took Exeter City, and soon took control of the city's banks, major shops, and grain stores.At this time, there were still more than 300,000 citizens in the city, all of whom were so frightened that they hid at home and did not dare to show their faces.The army of Huaxingjun entered the city, and local officials soon approached Huaxingjun.expressed his willingness to meet all the conditions of the Huaxing Army, but hoped that the Huaxing Army would not go on a killing spree.Yang Jincong is a reasonable person, since they are so polite, Hua Xingjun doesn't want to embarrass these ordinary people.In order to avoid the rebels from sneak attack and harassment, Yang Jincong ordered them to all withdraw from the city within one day.After dawn tomorrow, the Huaxing army will purge the city, and as long as it is a person, it will be killed.All four sides of Exeter City have been blocked by the Huaxing Army, and if Yang Jincong doesn't speak, none of them can get out.Where the British officials dared to fight back, they immediately went down to organize the evacuation of the people.They originally wanted to discuss with the Huaxing Army, saying that they were willing to submit to the rule of the Huaxing Army, and they also wanted to stay in their hometown.But Yang Jincong didn't trust them, and in the land of the empire, both old and young, women and children, were enemies.He had to consider the lives and safety of his soldiers, and often had a very small mortality rate on the battlefield, and once he occupied a city, the casualty rate increased.The reason is that there are many hidden guns in the city, and if you don't pay attention, you will be killed by them.Just as Yang Jincong was meeting with local officials, gunshots were heard in many places in the city.The Huaxing army usually greeted them with armored combat vehicles, and when a shell went down, even the people and houses were blown to pieces.Exeter is an ancient city in the UK, full of old castles and buildings, still in their original style, so there are very few high-rise buildings, and they are not as modern as Plymouth.Therefore, the shelling is also very easy, and it is not so easy for the resisters to fight street battles based on houses, and they have no intention of doing so
