Chapter 1022: The Shameful Battle of Britain
In fact, it was not just Luojinsi.
Even now, Xie Fang, who was standing with Su Qi, was equally shocked by the power of the ship beneath his feet.
When he first boarded, he felt that this ship was truly too large and too stable, and its speed was also too fast. When he saw the Cannon, he wondered, could this Warship withstand the recoil of such large Cannon? By now, he was truly completely numb.
With such continuous Cannon attacks, this ship still sailed very steadily!
He took a deep breath.
He even felt some regret again that he had not killed Xie Fang and his people, and then seized these ships... But then he thought, if he really did that, and the Liangzhou Navy really came to attack, could he withstand it? He could only possess twenty ships, but what about Liangzhou? They could keep building... Thus, Xie Fang began to feel fortunate again.
If he could always have the help of the Liangzhou side, wouldn't he be able to gallop across this sea as he pleased?
At this moment, the legendary, incomparably powerful British Navy was being beaten by this side until they were scurrying like rats, with absolutely no ability to resist. This was almost a crushing war.
Just at this moment.
Su Qi said indifferently: "We are about to enter the enemy's firing range, pass down the order, double the firepower!"
"Yes!"
Cannon attacks alone were naturally not what they wanted; they needed to land, and as long as it involved landing, a fierce battle of close-quarters combat would be inevitable. The current bombardment was only to disrupt the formation of the British army and to consume their combat strength as much as possible.
However.
As long as they landed, they were destined to enter the enemy's firing range; this was unavoidable.
Thinking of this.
Actually, Xie Fang still felt a bit of heartache; these Yinzhou Warships were so good, if they were to be smashed by the opponent, how heartbreaking that would be...
However.
This was war.
Battle damage would certainly exist, and casualties would also be inevitable.
Finally.
The twenty Yinzhou Warships finally entered the firing range of the British Cannon.
Luojinsi was waiting for this very moment!
"Fire!"
"Fire for me!"
He retreated precisely to protect his Cannon, to protect his soldiers, and for this moment of counterattack!
Thus.
For a time, the British soldiers also began to get busy; those loading ammunition loaded, those firing fired, those maintaining maintained. The soldiers got busy, and those indigenous people they enslaved also got busy along with them. Not only that, these indigenous people were also treated as cannon fodder by the British.
They were used to block the Cannon fire from the Yinzhou Warships.
"Longyan Navy, Longyan Navy, are they really this powerful?"
Luoweier was also frightened at this moment. Compared to Luojinsi, who came from a regular Military Academy and was a child of a regular Noble, Luoweier actually leaned more towards being a Gentry and a maritime merchant; he was a person with broad experience. His generous personality made him a friend of young Nobles like Luojinsi.
The two had cooperated many times.
But clearly.
This time in Australia, they had encountered a real challenge.
Just a moment ago, they were still fantasizing about how to plot against Longyan. In the blink of an eye, the Longyan army had already arrived.
He looked at the battle situation before him, and his complexion was already looking rather poor.
"Luojinsi, I think we need to find a Method..."
Luojinsi was about to go crazy: "What do you mean? What do you mean?"
Luoweier also shouted angrily: "You know what I mean! We cannot stay in Australia any longer! We must retreat, we must abandon this place!"
"No!"
Luojinsi's head shook like a rattle-drum, and his eyes were already filled with anger: "No, absolutely not! I cannot let anyone destroy my plan in Australia, no! Absolutely
not!"
The final roar was incomparably sharp, telling of his anger and his unwillingness.
Australia...
This was the place where he was about to establish his career! As long as he could develop Australia, he would be a hero of all Britain! He could even become a Viscount here! His ambition was just that great...
"No!"
"Absolutely cannot retreat!"
"We still have a chance!"
Luojinsi would absolutely not allow anyone to destroy his plan.
He had finally obtained the support of the parliament, and had finally managed to get so many prisoners!
Thinking of this.
He shuddered.
Prisoners!
Yes! Prisoners!
"Quick, quick, quick, issue weapons to all these prisoners, and when that bunch of Longyan people come up, have them fight, have them all fight!"
Luojinsi was almost insane at this moment.
Luoweier, however, was frowning.
After Daxi, there were naturally other ports, and the Endeavour they brought to Daxi was still docked at another port. If they chose to leave at this time, everything would still be in time.
But.
Clearly, Luojinsi did not think so.
Always feeling that Britain was the strongest in the world, and furthermore, with these indigenous people and prisoners in his hands at this moment, he still had over a hundred thousand people; he did not believe that the powerful Britain did not have the strength to put up a fight!
Facts proved it.
He was too confident.
In another space.
How they, Britain, bullied the Huaxia civilization during the same period.
This time.
The Huaxia civilization will pay it back twofold.
Britain's Red Barbarian Cannons began to counterattack. However, when their operators stood out, they realized that counterattacking was not that easy. As soon as they appeared, they became living targets for the Longyan Navy... Before they could even stand their ground, they were bombarded by the opponent's Cannons. Most of them were reduced to powder by Cannonballs the moment they showed their faces...
Too many!
There were too many Longyan Cannonballs!
This was absolutely not something they could withstand!
On the Britain side, everything had fallen into chaos.
Very soon.
They discovered with sorrow.
At the beginning, they thought that as long as they entered their firing range, they could pose a threat to the Longyan Navy, but now, this was completely a joke. Their Red Barbarian Cannons began to be blown to smithereens by the opponent's steady, accurate, and ruthless bombardment...
Crushing.
It was almost a total crushing.
No one would have thought.
That the powerful British Navy, in its first engagement with the Longyan Navy, would set the greatest humiliation in its history.
A battle that shocked the world.
A humiliation that shocked the world.
This battle also made Britain thoroughly a laughingstock in the eyes of the European powers; those countries that held deep grudges against Britain used this battle to mock Britain for who knows how many years.
Twenty Yinzhou warships and the native Warships following behind successfully landed.
However, after landing.
They still continued the Cannon bombardment for over an hour...
On Luojinsi's side, there was complete despair.
This battle would also leave Qin Zhangfeng, who was still on his way, completely bewildered.
