The French army, which was attacked by Long'ao troops, sent a signal requesting support at this time.
But the troops nearby were holding their positions.
Drew's disappearance directly caused the French army to be unable to adjust its operations.
This resulted in the French troops originally located on Sydney Harbor being unable to support neighboring troops due to lack of orders.
The distance between the two troops is less than 300 meters.
The difficulty in coordinating such forces is the current pain point of the French army.
Coordination among the French forces has become extremely difficult. When Drew left, the task left to them was to protect Sydney Harbor.
Therefore, their troops did not dare to act rashly.
After observing their troops being attacked, the French commander on the opposite side said directly: "Hold your position."
"The Longyan Army can't possibly only have this small number of troops!"
His judgment is not wrong. French officers who have fought against General Li all know his cunning.
Especially after seeing the French enemy forces on the opposite side encountering a tough battle.
The other party only sent a very small number of troops, which dragged their French troops into a fierce battle.
In this commander's opinion, this is a trick the enemy always uses.
First, use a small group of troops to pull them away, and then send other troops to attack them.
This way of fighting was something he was all too familiar with.
After General Li saw the support signal sent by the French army, he secretly thought something was wrong.
He originally wanted to quickly capture Sydney Port through a surprise attack, and then hold on to it, destroying France's supplies, and putting the French fleet at a disadvantage in sea operations.
But now after failing to capture the French troops at the first opportunity.
They had already lost the opportunity to fight.
If this war continues, it will become extremely passive.
If you don't find that the French fleet is fighting an unknown force at sea.
He had already withdrawn his troops, but now he noticed that the French fleet was fighting.
Moreover, the opponent was in a fight to the death with the French fleet. Although General Li did not see the situation on the battlefield, he could feel the brutality of this battle when he saw the French warships returning.
Now if they give up the opportunity at these ports, they don't know when the next fighter plane will arrive!
General Li personally led his troops to join the battlefield.
He led his own Guards from the north to attack the rear of the French army.
The French troops with a reserve were equivalent to being surrounded by Longao troops.
The battle became even more brutal.
The surrounded French army had no way to escape. General Li led the only personal guard and launched a charge on horseback.
This is their only cavalry, composed of General Li's personal bodyguards.
The charge at the port quickly defeated the French troops to pieces.
After encountering such an attack, the French troops no longer had the ability to continue fighting with the Australian army.
Their troops were dismembered and their soldiers were trampled to pieces by cavalry.
Their troops were attacked to pieces by the Long'ao army, and the Long'ao army encountered desperate resistance from the French army.
After being surrounded by them, the team of three thousand people compressed into a formation of a hundred people thick.
After the people outside fell, the French soldiers fighting inside were revealed.
The Long Ao Army's attack was extremely frightening to these soldiers who had no way to retreat.
The soldiers around them screamed before death, and they watched helplessly as the people in front of them died in a pool of blood.
And he will be the next to die!
Such impending fear finally overwhelmed their nerves. Faced with such an attack, the French troops could only stand up and fight!
Only one between them and the Long Ao Army can survive.
At this time, Long Ao's troops also suffered great trauma.
Under the desperate offensive of the French army, the troops on the west and southwest sides of Long'ao Army suffered heavy casualties.
Arranged in a straight formation, they withstood the greatest artillery fire from the French army.
They were like targets and were defeated by the French army.
Even General Li, who was charging into the battle, was injured.
However, the balance of victory is still tilted towards them, in such an urgent battle.
The Long'ao troops relied on their excellent command skills to completely defeat the French troops.
After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Longao army killed the last French soldier, and the bodies of 3,000 French soldiers were piled on the dock.
Being thrown into the sea and fed to fish by General Li's order was not because he was cruel.
But the French soldiers had no reason for him to sympathize.
The Longao troops were formed by immigrants and indigenous people, and they had nothing but endless hatred for these French soldiers.
After these hateful French soldiers landed, they committed unforgivable crimes on this land. Their relatives and homes were plundered by these French soldiers.
For these soldiers, the Longao troops have an unforgettable hatred!
After the battle, General Li ordered the troops to repair on the spot, but to hide on the merchant ship.
They also didn’t know what country had the conflict with the French fleet at sea and what its origins were.
They just want to cause some trouble for the French fleet. This port is the largest port in Australia, even now the main force in the port has been eliminated.
However, the French army is still ambushing other troops. The support signal just sent by the French army has confirmed this.
In order to hold on to the victory, General Li decided to stay here.
…
At this time, artillery roared on the coast of Australia.
The main fleet of Longyan Navy and the main fleet of France are fighting desperately.
The strike groups on both sides were in a stalemate.
The French fleet dispatched ten maritime fleets to besiege the three supply ships, five Yinzhou ships and their patrol strike group of the Long Yan naval fleet.
The battle lasted for nearly three hours, and the main forces on both sides were still in a stalemate.
The advantage of the French force was that they had more ships.
Their patrol boats are not yet equipped with steam power, so they cannot compare with the Longyan fleet in terms of speed, but they are better than them in numbers.
Even if the Dragon Flame Fleet kills a French patrol ship with one shot, it will take a long time.
What's more, the hit rate of artillery at sea is extremely low.
As for the other French battleships, they had fought against the Longyan fleet several times, and relying on their numerical advantage, they were not at a disadvantage for the time being.
However, this advantage was gradually weakened by the Long Yan Fleet.
The Longyan fleet relied on its powerful power and firepower to attack the French battleships personally. In order to prevent their ships from being destroyed, the originally escorting strike group could only avoid the supply ships and attack them.
However, such an attack would have almost no effect, and would even be sunk by the Long Yan Army's strike group.
After Long Yan's supply ship got close to the French fleet, he would adopt this shameless strategy of dealing damage to the opponent, making his hit rate almost 100%.
