Chapter 957 The Last Stop

"Bang, bang, bang..."

At the moment of the explosion, dense gunfire sounded.

Because of the shock of the flares, many British soldiers stood up from the trenches, looked up at the sky, and their bodies were exposed outside the trenches.

This made them targets for the Marines.

Under the shooting of grenades and muskets, a large number of British soldiers in the trenches were killed and wounded.

At this time, the British suddenly woke up, and the Dasong army attacked them.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The British soldiers in the trenches screamed in panic.

They all looked outside the trenches to find the figures of Dasong soldiers.

But at this moment, the light that lasted for a minute suddenly went out, and the world fell into darkness again.

"What's going on? What's going on?" A British looked up at the sky.

The ball of light just now suddenly disappeared, just as it suddenly appeared.

Everything was so weird that he, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help but lose his mind, and his heart was chilled.

And the harpy standing in front of his house was also panicked.

He had been through many wars, and when he was young, he even stood in the first row and shot at the Russian soldiers.

But he was afraid at that time, but now he was deeply afraid.

This fear was the fear of the unknown.

For the first time, something he didn't understand appeared on the battlefield.

Looking at the battlefield that fell into darkness again, he didn't know what order to give for a while.

However, just as the British fell into darkness again because of the disappearance of light.

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

Like the last time, this ball of light illuminated the area within a radius of one mile.

Let everything in the trench be clearly visible.

The British were stunned again, and it was obvious that they wanted to figure out what was going on.

But at this moment, the Marines threw another wave of grenades into the trench.

At the same time, the soldiers lying on the grass suddenly stood up and rushed to 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 Marines.

The soldiers in the rear began to fire flares in an orderly manner. Before one flare was extinguished, they immediately fired the second one, so that the battlefield was always in light.

"Kill!"

After the first batch of soldiers charged, the second batch of soldiers also rushed over.

Due to the bombing of two waves of grenades, the British in the trenches in front suffered heavy casualties.

The Marines jumped into the trenches, immediately cleared the remaining enemies, and occupied the front trenches.

With the light of the flares, they cooperated with each other as if they were in the daytime and killed deep into the trenches.

For the British who did not understand flares, they obviously could not adapt to fighting under the strange light.

Although this strange light was not lethal, it crushed their morale from the heart.

At any time in the past, they always felt superior to the enemy.

Because Britain was the most advanced in both warships and muskets and artillery.

And now, their confidence was extremely low.

"Bang bang bang..."

The gunshots continued.

The Marines in the front continued to attack the British regular army and militia.

In less than two quarters of an hour, more than half of the British regular army and militia were killed or wounded.

Faced with increasing casualties, the remaining regular army and militia could no longer hold on and withdrew from the trenches and ran towards Queensland City.

And lost the main force of the battle.

The prisoners and militia organized by Harpy were immediately shot by the Marines.

They collapsed after a short time.

A large number of British surrendered, and some disappeared in the darkness like the remnants.

The Marines did not stop.

They crossed the trenches and advanced into Queensland City.

In the back, flares kept hitting their heads, providing them with lighting.

Sporadic fighting continued until dawn the next day.

When the sun rose, the Marines completely controlled the entire Queensland City.

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

"Don't worry, they will die in the wild." Gong Ying said.

He had learned about the Australian continent from the King of Yan.

This continent is very vast, and only the coastal areas are suitable for survival.

The inland areas are arid areas that are not suitable for human survival.

Leaving the city means that they will lose their food source.

At the same time, the Australian continent is an isolated island, and they cannot escape from this cage.

"Yes, General." The general replied.

Then, Gong Ying ordered the Marines to take over the British assets in Queensland, including cattle, sheep, and plantations.

The captured British were imprisoned.

They were busy until the evening, when a soldier suddenly came from the coast and brought Gong Ying a message, "General, His Highness and General Zhou's warships have arrived."

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

When they arrived, they found that the King of Yan was talking and laughing with their general Zhou Yi on the beach.

Gong Ying immediately stepped forward and saluted the two.

"Not bad, this war ended in time." Zhou Yi looked at Gong Ying and laughed.

They have already learned that Gong Ying has taken over Queensland.

"This is all thanks to the flares, otherwise we would have to waste some time." Gong Ying said with a smile.

"Flares?" Zhao Xu and Zhou Yi looked at each other.

Gong Ying nodded and explained to the two.

Zhou Yi said, "So it's a pity that the ship of the Military Department didn't catch up with us."

"Then wait here for two days before setting off. Queensland has just been conquered, and we have to restore order." Zhao Xu said.

Now that Holland and Queensland have been conquered, the next stop is the last stop.

In order to perfectly capture the largest British colony on the Australian continent, it is necessary to wait for the flares.

After all, Gong Ying had a great night battle, but he used up all the flares in one night.

Three days later, the ship of the Military Department finally arrived.

At this time, with the flares, the two fleets merged into one and headed for the last stop.
