Chapter 956: Firepower

"Damn it, they are preparing to use Naval Cannons against us."

On a watchtower outside the city of New South Wales, Oliver and Joseph were also observing the situation at the harbor with a Telescope.

As the Great Song soldiers landed at the harbor, their expressions grew increasingly solemn.

When these soldiers began to dismantle Artillery piece by piece from the Warship, the two fell into a long silence simultaneously.

In the end, it was Oliver who spoke a sentence.

At this moment, he suddenly did not look as confident as he had been at the Governor's Mansion.

The Great Song soldiers' uniform military attire, their methodical order, and the Naval Cannons that looked extremely sophisticated.

This overturned the image of the Dongtu natives in his mind.

"God bless us to win this war!" Joseph took a deep breath.

Like Oliver, he clearly also realized that this army was not so simple.

Exchanging a glance, the two descended from the watchtower and actively inspected the Trench fortifications to prevent any lapses during the war.

The following eight days.

The two sides remained in a standoff just like this.

The Great Song Navy soldiers were busy manufacturing gun carriages so that the Naval Cannons could be pulled and moved.

The British Army soldiers were busy reinforcing their fortifications.

The battlefield was surprisingly harmonious.

But on the morning of the ninth day, with the arrival of the Troop Transport Ship fleet, the atmosphere on the battlefield became heavy.

Of course, this heaviness was only directed at the British Army.

The marine soldiers felt more relaxed, because their troop strength had reached thirty thousand.

And at this time.

Three hundred and sixty Naval Cannons were unloaded.

Each Naval Cannon was fitted with a temporary gun carriage.

These gun carriages might not be very sturdy, but they were enough to last until the end of this war.

"Begin! The war on the Australia continent should also come to an end; this King is waiting to give this continent a new name," Zhao Xu laughed.

This Australia continent was the name the British gave to this continent.

After occupying this place, he naturally would not continue to use the name the British had chosen.

Because just like naming a planet, this symbolizes a country's soft power.

Besides here, there were many other places he would rename.

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhou Yi and the generals' eyes shone with excitement.

Actually, they were even more impatient than Yan Wang.

Regarding this matter of staking out territory, everyone from top to bottom could hardly wait.

Receiving the order, the generals returned to their respective armies to organize the soldiers to head toward the Trench fortifications of New South Wales.

Just like Hedland and Queensland.

The Trench fortifications of New South Wales were also dug around the city.

The reason for this was actually very simple.

Like many of Britain's Colonial Territorys.

When the colonists first arrived, they could only expand outward from a single point.

In a place like the Australia continent, this was especially true.

Also due to this reason, resources could only be concentrated in the colonial area, and one could not survive outside the colonial area.

Thus, they could only defend their own Colonial Territory to the death.

The time of one morning.

Thirty thousand marine soldiers arrived at their designated positions under the leadership of their respective generals.

Basically, he had surrounded the entire Colonial Territory.

The three hundred and sixty Naval Cannons were also distributed and deployed at different locations.

Among them, the most Naval Cannons were deployed at the front, reaching one hundred and twenty.

Everything was ready.

Zhao Xu gave the order to bombard.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The huge roaring sound of the Naval Cannons soon resounded across the battlefield.

Cannonball after cannonball smashed into the British's Trench fortifications.

Because the Naval Cannons themselves belonged to Heavy Artillery and the caliber of the artillery was very large, their power was greater than that of field artillery and Howitzers.

Their disadvantage was naturally that they were very cumbersome and not suitable for long-term marching.

But for attacking coastal Colonial Territorys, Naval Cannons were undoubtedly very suitable.

"Boom!", "Boom!", "Boom!"...

After the roar of the artillery, huge clusters of Flame rose up in the British's Trench fortifications.

As the Flame shot into the sky, it kicked up large amounts of mud.

Some British soldiers were even blown directly to a height of five or six meters,

and the clothes on their bodies were torn to shreds by the shockwave.

"..."

This scene made Zhou Yi and the other generals unable to help but swallow their saliva.

During naval battles, because of the great distance, they could not grasp the true power of the Naval Cannon's Cannonball.

Now, as the Cannonball landed solidly on the ground before their eyes, they realized just how terrifying the Naval Cannon was.

Zhao Xu could not help but click his tongue.

A 406mm caliber Naval Cannon from the Second World War could completely destroy a factory with a single Cannonball, and it was almost impossible for anyone to survive within a fifty-meter radius.

Although his Naval Cannon was still far from that level, with a caliber of only 206mm, its power was still quite objective.

At this moment, Zhao Xu and the generals only felt amazement, while the Britain soldiers in the Trench felt terror.

Every Cannonball that exploded on the Trench fortifications was like a minor earthquake.

Dust, flesh, and broken limbs flew through the air above the fortifications and fell back into the Trench.

A Britain soldier was lying flat on the ground, paralyzed by extreme fear.

At this moment, half a head suddenly smashed down in front of him, immediately scaring him into a faint.

Not far from this soldier, another Britain soldier had wet his pants and was trembling all over.

These were Britain's regular army soldiers; the militia and townspeople were even more unbearable.

Their crying and screaming mixed with the wails of the wounded soldiers in the Trench.

Some of the cowardly ones ignored discipline and ran toward the city in a panic.

They did not want to stay here for even a moment to be blown to death.

But before they could leave the Trench fortifications, they were shot by the supervising soldiers commanded by Oliver and Joseph.

"For Britain, everyone must continue to fight." Oliver's face was livid, and his hands were trembling slightly.

To prevent Joseph from discovering this, he deliberately kept his hands in his pockets.

He had also experienced war, but he had never seen Artillery with such great power on the battlefield.

Most importantly, the enemy's Cannonball could explode.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the enemy's Artillery were all direct-fire, and many Cannonball exploded on the surface of the Trench.

Instead of falling from the sky into the Trench like a Howitzer.

But even so, because the power of the explosion was great, it was enough to cause many casualties.

"It is time." Joseph's face was a bit pale, but he said firmly.

Oliver realized what he meant and nodded, "We cannot let them fire their Artillery in peace anymore!"

Immediately, Joseph's order was passed down.

Before long, the branches covering the dirt pits at some positions on the Trench fortifications were lifted, revealing the muzzles of the Field Artillery.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The Britain Field Artillery fired Solid Shot one after another toward the Artillery positions of the Da Song army.

Almost at the same time, many prisoners wearing prison uniforms crawled out of the Trench.

These prisoners held Flintlock with Bayonet attached and charged toward the Da Song army positions five hundred meters away.

The number of these prisoners was massive, totaling over ten thousand people.

And the direction of their charge was precisely the location of the Da Song army's Artillery.
