The Long'ao army established by General Li has expanded in size after absorbing a large number of immigrants.
The strength of the troops also increased accordingly, and General Li immediately ordered a battle against the French troops on Sydney Harbor.
It can't be delayed any longer.
The French have already robbed many of their factories. If left unchecked, everything left here in Australia will be destroyed by the French.
But just when General Li's troops were attacking, he discovered something that puzzled him.
French military control of the city and surrounding areas 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 his telescope to observe changes in the distance.
He saw the docked French warships in the harbor in the distance leaving the harbor quickly as if they were being chased by hounds.
But do you know where you are 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 wouldn't 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 ready for battle.
According to General Li's pre-war plan, they will attack Sydney Harbor from three directions.
The view above the port is very wide, and they do not have an advantage in military strength, so General Li designed the troops to be divided into three groups according to this terrain.
Draw troops along the way, build up troops along the way, and outflank the troops from behind.
Under such a joint offensive, the French soldiers in Sydney Harbor were defeated and the port was retaken.
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.
However, 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 behind by Qin Changfeng.
It's just that the once powerful iron army has deteriorated under Xie Fang's policies.
