Chapter 954: The Last Stop

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The moment the explosion rang out, dense gunfire erupted.

Startled by the Illumination Flare, many British soldiers stood up from the Trench, looked up at the sky, and exposed their bodies outside the Trench.

This made them targets for the Marine soldiers.

Under the fire of Hand Grenades and muskets, the British soldiers in the Trench immediately suffered heavy casualties.

At this moment, the British suddenly realized that the Da Song army had launched an attack on them.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The British soldiers in the Trench shouted in panic.

They looked outside the Trench one after another, searching for the figures of the Da Song soldiers.

But just then, the light that had lasted for a minute suddenly extinguished, and the world plunged into darkness once again.

"What's going on? What on earth is going on?" A British soldier looked toward the sky.

The ball of light from just a moment ago had suddenly vanished, just as suddenly as it had appeared.

Everything was so eerie that even he, a veteran of many battles, could not help but lose his composure, a chill running through his heart.

And Habi, standing in front of his own house, was equally panicked and at a loss.

He had been through many wars; when he was young, he had even stood in the front row exchanging fire with Ross soldiers.

But back then it was fear, while now he felt a deep terror.

This terror was a fear of the unknown.

For the first time, something he did not understand had appeared on the battlefield.

Looking at the battlefield that had plunged back into darkness, for a moment he did not know what orders to give.

However, just as the British were plunged back into darkness because the light had vanished.

At this moment, a red light flew into the high sky, and then a ball of light appeared in the sky once again.

Like the previous one, this ball of light illuminated an area of one mile in radius.

It made everything in the Trench visible down to the finest detail.

The British were stunned once again; clearly, they were desperate to figure out what was happening.

But just then, the Marine soldiers threw another wave of Hand Grenades into the Trench.

At the same time, the soldiers lying in the grass rose abruptly and lunged toward the Trench.

"Boom, boom, boom...", "Bang, bang, bang..." The battlefield became noisy again.

At the same time, in order to cover the charge of the Marine soldiers.

The soldiers in the rear began to fire Illumination Flares in an orderly fashion; before one Illumination Flare could extinguish, they would immediately fire a second one, keeping the battlefield in constant light.

"Kill!"

After the first batch of soldiers charged, the second batch of soldiers also killed their way over.

Having suffered the bombardment of two waves of Hand Grenades, the British in the forward Trench suffered heavy casualties.

The Marine soldiers jumped into the Trench, immediately cleared out the remaining enemies, and occupied the front-line Trench.

Borrowing the light of the Illumination Flares, they coordinated with each other just as they would in the daytime, killing their way into the depths of the Trench.

For the British who did not understand Illumination Flares, they were clearly unable to adapt to fighting under such eerie light.

Although this eerie light had no lethality, it crushed their morale from within.

At any time in the past, they had always felt a sense of superiority when facing enemies.

Because whether it was Warships, muskets, or Artillery, the British were the most advanced.

But now, their confidence had dropped to the lowest point.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The gunfire continued.

The Marines on the front line continuously attacked the British regular army and militia.

In less than two quarter-hours, more than half of the small number of British regular troops and militia were killed or wounded.

Facing the ever-increasing casualties, the remaining regular troops and militia could no longer hold on, and they withdrew from the Trench one after another, running toward the city of Queensland.

And having lost their main fighting force.

The prisoners and militia organized by Habi immediately encountered the slaughter-like fire of the Marines.

Not long after, they collapsed.

Large numbers of British surrendered, and another portion disappeared into the darkness just like the remnants of the army.

The Marine soldiers did not stop their pace.

They passed through the Trench and advanced into the city of Queensland.

In the rear, Illumination Flares were constantly fired above their heads to provide them with light.

Sporadic fighting continued until dawn the next day.

When the sun rose, the Marines had completely controlled the entire city of Queensland.

"General, some of the remnants have escaped." When Gong Ying and Ma Qian entered the city of Queensland, a commander came to report.

"No need to worry about them, they will die in the wilderness," Gong Ying said.

He had learned about the Australia continent from Yan Wang.

This continent was vast, and only the coastal areas were suitable for survival.

The interior was an arid region unsuitable for human survival.

And leaving the city meant they would lose their source of food.

At the same time, this Australia continent was an isolated island; they could not escape this cage.

"Yes, General." The general responded with a yes.

Following this, Gong Ying ordered the marines to take over the British assets in Queensland, including cattle, sheep, and plantations.

He also had the captured British imprisoned.

They were busy until evening, when a soldier suddenly hurried over from the coast and brought news to Gong Ying, "General, His Highness and General Zhou's warship have arrived."

"His Highness is here!" Gong Ying was delighted and immediately led the generals toward the beach.

Upon their arrival, they discovered Yan Wang chatting and laughing with their Great General Zhou Yi by the beach.

Gong Ying immediately walked forward and saluted the two of them.

"Not bad, this time the war ended very promptly." Zhou Yi looked at Gong Ying and laughed heartily.

They had already learned the news that Gong Ying had taken Queensland.

"This is all thanks to the illumination flares; otherwise, we would have had to expend quite a bit of effort," Gong Ying said with a smile.

"Illumination flares?" Zhao Xu and Zhou Yi exchanged a glance.

Gong Ying nodded and explained the matter to the two of them.

Zhou Yi said, "In that case, it is truly a pity that the Armament Bureau's ship did not catch up with us."

"Then we shall wait here for two days before setting off; Queensland has just been taken, so we must restore order," Zhao Xu said.

Now that Holland and Queensland had both been conquered, the next stop would be the final one.

In order to perfectly take Britain's largest Colonial Territory on the Australia continent, it was necessary to wait for the illumination flares.

After all, Gong Ying had enjoyed the night battle, but he had exhausted all the illumination flares in one night.

Three more days passed, and the Armament Bureau's ship arrived belatedly.

At this time, having obtained the illumination flares, the two fleets merged into one and headed toward the final stop.
