At this time, on the Australian battlefield.
The Long'ao army established by General Li expanded in size after absorbing a large number of immigrants.
The strength of the troops also increased, and General Li immediately ordered a battle against the French troops in Sydney Harbor.
It can't be delayed any longer.
The French have already robbed many of their factories. If this continues, everything left here in Australia will be destroyed by the French.
But just as General Li's troops were attacking, they discovered something that puzzled him.
French military control of the city's surroundings was rapidly weakening.
Countless French troops rushed to the port to defend it.
This is not a port controlled by Li He, and the French army there does not think that Li He's troops can march over.
There are General Li's troops near Sydney Harbor, and they dare not take it lightly.
General Li looked at the French army in the distance and frowned. His action plan was only finalized today. Even if someone leaked the secret, it would be too late.
But now he did see countless French soldiers hoarding on top of Sydney Harbor, waiting for them.
Faced with such an unexpected situation, General Li could only stand still and use telescopes to observe changes in the distance.
He saw the docked French warships on the harbor in the distance leaving the harbor quickly as if being chased by hounds.
But do you know where it is heading?
There are also French warships returning to the port, but the returning warships are like defeated soldiers, dragging their broken bodies to the rear.
General Li instantly realized that the French navy was fighting a powerful enemy in the distance.
Otherwise, there would not be so many warships mobilized.
General Li didn't know what kind of enemy the French army had to deal with so hastily.
But this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.
Although the French ports are controlled by countless troops, the enemy's troops are restrained by the war at sea. Their attack at this time will have the advantage!
General Li put down the telescope in his hand and ordered in a deep voice: "Tell the soldiers to launch the attack in fifteen minutes!"
General Li's retrained army made adjustments at this time.
Be prepared for battle.
According to General Li's pre-war plan, they would attack Sydney Harbor from three directions.
The view above the port is very wide, and they do not have an advantage in terms of military strength, so General Li designed the troops to be divided into three groups according to this terrain.
Drawing troops along the way, building up troops along the way, and outflanking them from behind.
Under such a joint offensive, the French soldiers in Sydney Harbor were defeated and the port was recaptured.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly.
The vanguard of the Long'ao troops launched an attack from the west, using thirty-six artillery pieces to make up for their lack of strength.
The French troops, who had been prepared for war at any time, were stunned by the rounds of artillery fire.
The preparations they made early did not play any role.
But they quickly recovered their formation and used a scattered triangle formation to attack the attacking Long'ao troops.
Although the Longao troops were formed by Australian aborigines and immigrants, they were not afraid of life or death at all.
In terms of fighting will, they are no weaker than the Long Yan Army left by Qin Changfeng.
It's just that the once powerful iron army has deteriorated under Xie Fang's policies.
In this battle plan, just in case, to prevent these Longyan troops from dragging them down on the battlefield, General Li did not choose to let them board the battlefield.
The task given to them is just to stay in Sydney City without any difficulty and guard against possible raids by the enemy.
But everyone knows that the French army cannot launch a sneak attack on Sydney City while General Li's Long'ao troops are fighting, and they do not have the strength.
After the French army was pinned down, the second and third troops commanded by General Li quickly launched an attack on the French army.
They launched their attack from the southwest, where former Australian merchant ships docked in the southwest of Sydney Harbor.
This was originally a port of call for merchant ships.
But after the French army arrived, the port was temporarily turned into a military port for the French army.
These merchant ships were all driven to the southwest pier and became crowded.
Some merchant ships were even full of cargo, which eventually became rotten over time.
This is a major economic blow to Australia.
Originally this was France's method of controlling Australia, but now these crowded merchant ships were able to successfully cover the bunkers of General Li's troops. They quickly passed through the gaps between ships.
A little closer to the French military port.
The third team was under the huge bunker of the merchant ship, waiting to attack.
The second team creates a window for the third team's offense.
After the first team pinned down the French troops, they immediately launched an assault from the southwest port.
Their troops formed a three-row formation and took turns shooting at the French troops.
After the French army, which was pulled by the Long'ao troops on the west side, was attacked, the French army, which was pulled into a diagonal line, was attacked and suffered heavy damage!
In order to deal with the other team of Long'ao troops, the French army could only fight back on the spot.
Shooting at each other with Longao troops.
The preparations they had made came in handy at this moment, and the artillery array that had been arranged long ago attacked the Long'ao troops.
The Long'ao troops lined up in a straight line were like targets when facing the French army's artillery.
Accurately hit by enemy troops.
After the third force saw that the second force was attacked, in order to reverse the situation of the battle, it could only launch an attack in advance to contain the artillery array of the French army.
The third force hid atop merchant ships and launched an attack on the French forces.
The French army was very surprised by the Longao troops on the merchant ship.
They had no idea how these Longao troops got up there, and their surveillance personnel didn't notice it at all.
When they saw the dark brown clothes they were wearing and the paint on their faces, they secretly cursed for being careless.
The Longao troops used such attire to hide their true appearance, so they were able to board these merchant ships quietly.
And this was covered by the Longao troops from the front.
They faced the condescending attack and didn't react for a while.
The attack by the third team did cause a lot of damage to them, and the artillery array was completely suppressed under such circumstances.
There is no way to fight back.
They must resolve this battle as soon as possible.
To defend the port, fierce battles are now breaking out at sea. If the port is captured, their fleet will have nowhere to go.
Once that happens, their troops will no longer be able to attack the Dragon Flame Fleet.
At this time, Drew, who was the commander-in-chief of the French Army, disappeared as if he had disappeared from the world.
