Chapter 1016: Sweeping

Alden stared in horror at the scene in front of him.

Looking at the heights, at this time, his soldiers were suffering unprecedented casualties, in the gap between the Great Yu State array, twenty strangely shaped guns were continuously spitting flames, and points of light poured out from this firearm, forming a tight net covering the soldiers on the line.

And as time went by, the number of such terrible firearms on the battlefield grew, thirty, forty, fifty.

The denser and denser network of fire accelerated the harvesting of life, and before he could react, all 3,000 regular soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and none of them survived.

"Withdraw! Fall back! “

Alden screamed, deep fear completely shattering his will, he had never seen such a terrible weapon of murder, and their soldiers looked vulnerable to the attack of the Great Yu army.

It's just that he reminded too late, although the militia at this time was not within fifty meters, but relative to the range of the machine guns, they were all within the attack range.

Shooting the regular soldiers in red uniforms, the machine guns immediately turned their guns and fired at a line of eight thousand militiamen.

Within a minute, a rain of bullets from more than 30,000 rounds rushed into the dense line, and the militia began to be treated like regular troops.

"It's a massacre! Alden, the world must be crazy. Kenneth's face was as pale as paper, and his lips trembled.

In a panic he turned and mounted his horse and headed for the governor's palace without looking back, and now he was desperate to get out of here.

Alden was also in despair, for him this was not a war, but a massacre against them, and in the face of such an enemy, they were powerless, and no amount of troops were invested now.

He could no longer care about the militia still on the battlefield, and he went in the direction of the Governor's Palace, where they had made secret preparations that if the war was lost they would escape by merchant ships hidden in a bay thirty miles south of Wales, and who cared about the descendants of these criminals and the freedmen?

On the beach, Sanyuzhu looked in amazement at the corpses of the British soldiers on the beach, and although they were well aware of the performance of the machine gun, they were not expected to achieve the effect of using it on the battlefield for the first time.

After the machine guns opened fire, the battle actually lasted only ten minutes, but in these ten minutes, the war was one-sided.

The unprepared British army adopted the line that was most advantageous for machine guns, which made harvesting the enemy easy and simple.

Blood stained the white sand beach, and Sanyu Zhu smelled the smell of blood in the air and gave another order, "Advance to Wales, and those who resist will be killed!" “

"Yes!" The soldiers let out a high roar, and the success of the battle raised their morale.

They stepped over the corpses of the British with Han-style rifles armed with bayonets, and in front of them, a small English-style town appeared before them.

At the same time, news of the defeat spread like a plague through Wales as the soldiers scattered.

The nobles from the British mainland fled with their wealth with the governor Kenneth, while the freedmen who had migrated for free land waited for an unknown fate, and they did not have the same retreat as the nobles.

The exiled criminals took advantage of the loss of the soldier's custody to break free, and they robbed and killed people everywhere in Wales to vent their frustration with their exile to Australia.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

In the midst of the confusion, Sanyuzhu and his soldiers approached Wales across the beach, at which point the Imperial soldiers no longer used line formations and instead adopted a skirmish line.

Soldiers with Han-style rifles vigilantly surveyed their surroundings while shooting the British, who were still resisting.

When they entered the Welsh city, there was a sudden silence around them, and there was not a single Englishman on the street, but through the windows of the rooms, the soldiers could still see a pair of frightened eyes watching them.

Lei Ming had already gone ashore at this time, and he and the division commander Shi Yanjun went to the center of Wales City under the protection of the soldiers, although there were some episodes in the war, but on the whole it was still very smooth.

In just a short period of time, they annihilated the entire military power of Australia.

"Report to the Commander, we have eliminated the recalcitrant British soldiers in the city and controlled the whole city." Sanyuzhu gave a military salute to Lei Ming and reported loudly.

"Good!" Lei Ming said happily: "Now I will give you another task, gather all the British here, and I will announce to them that from now on, this place belongs to the Chinese Empire." “

Chang Yuzhu answered, and said to the generals under his command: "Don't let a family go, drive them all to the field outside the city, hurry up!" “

With that, Sanyuzhu rushed into the residents' homes with soldiers like tigers and wolves, and the British were expelled from the room one by one.

Shi Yanjun looked at this exotic city, and he said to Lei Ming: "Commander, this city is not small, how do you plan to deal with the residents here and kill them?" “

"It's a pity to kill them, since most of the people who live here are criminals and their descendants, let them continue to work as coolies here, anyway, their own country treats them like this, why should we have mercy." Lei Ming said lightly that before coming to Australia, he had a general understanding of Australia.

To put it simply, there are three types of people in Australia today, the first category is mainly prisoners and the descendants of prisoners, who are engaged in heavy hard work in Australia here, and they do everything under the custody of soldiers.

The second group was the freedmen who migrated from England, and since the British government declared Australia to belong to the United Kingdom, the British government declared that all Australian land could be obtained for free, so some Britons who dreamed of having their own pastures ventured to come here to herd sheep, because the British thriving industry needed large quantities of wool, and the infinite pastures here were very suitable for grazing.

The third group consisted of the British aristocracy, which included governors, military officers, and greedy aristocratic merchants appointed by the British Parliament, who used their power to occupy large tracts of high-quality land, while making prisoners work for themselves and gaining a great deal of wealth.

Now that he occupies Australia, it is natural for him to make the most of the first two categories of people, after all, this is a large amount of labor.

As for the nobles, when they lost the war, they fled with their wealth.

Although he wanted to arrest them all, these people had already run away, and they didn't know the geography here, so they couldn't hunt them down.
