Britain's own standing army is small, and this battle almost exhausted all the veterans.

Coupled with the fact that the thirteen states in North America have successively sent reinforcements to some troops, the second round of full conscription in the UK is now in full swing.

Therefore, being able to gather [-] regular troops for his son, even if it is just a simple training of recruits, is enough to show the old Churchill's love for the eldest son.

……

As the towering Cape Town lighthouse appeared on the horizon, the captain ordered to slow down the speed and enter the port slowly.

John Churchill opened the binoculars and looked towards the pier, but the grand welcome ceremony he imagined did not appear.

This made him very dissatisfied.

Fortunately, he soon saw a few sailors running over in a hurry.

"These slackers!"

The captain explained awkwardly to John Churchill, "Mr. Marquis, because Cape Town is very safe, people here are used to 'African time'..."

"It's all right, I've seen lazier guys in Ireland who wouldn't grow two potatoes even if they starved to death."

John Churchill waved his hand, and said nonchalantly, "Show a semaphore and let them bring the navigation boat over, or do you go directly to the shore?"

"I am very familiar with this route, just dock directly."

The captain said as he directed the boat to dock.

Subconsciously, he glanced at the lighthouse and frowned.

The army and officials in Cape Town are lazy, but they are very diligent in collecting taxes.

On the lighthouse that observes the passing ships, there will always be people waving flags urging merchant ships to pay taxes.

Why are there none of these today?

The captain realized that something was not right today, and just about to raise doubts, there were intensive gunshots on the pier.

The sailors who rushed to "greet" before were all shot in the back and fell on their backs, and some even fell headlong into the sea.

But there are also some lucky ones who jumped on board in haste.

Chapter 738

Just like Nanyang, many ships in Cape Town are old-fashioned sailing ships, but more of them are steam ships.

The British sailors who successfully boarded the ship frantically started the ship, and the sound of the siren sounded a sense of panic.

At the same time, in John Churchill's dumbfounded eyes, Asian faces appeared in the distance.

It was they who shot these Cape sailors.

"Ming man! It's Ming man! Zhu Fugui is here!"

At that moment, the scene of his brother being tortured again appeared in John Churchill's mind. He grabbed the captain by the collar and shouted, "Go back, go back immediately!"

"Master Marquis, please calm down... We are a huge fleet, we cannot flexibly turn around... Cough cough cough..."

Even if John Churchill broke the captain's neck, it couldn't change the fact that the fleet was slowly docking.

Moreover, the appearance of the British Indian reinforcement fleet blocked all the Cape Town sailors who managed to escape and were about to sail away.

……

At the same time, Grand Duke Li Shaoquan is also at the peak of his life at the moment.

He was still wearing the classic double-layer plate body armor, and two steel helmets, one large and one small, on his head.

As the number one fighter in the southern hemisphere, Baturu, Lord Li still regretted his life.

However, compared to the previous battle in Beiping, Li Shaoquan did not curl up in the tank this time.

After all, he is about 1.8 meters tall, and whether it is a Hanqi tank or an Iron Buddha tank, it seems too small.

This time, Li Shaoquan sat in a car driven by the leader of the soldiers, held a saber, and opened and closed all the way.

Of course, this three-bouncer has also been modified, with bulletproof steel plates installed.

Moreover, the personal soldiers are also very aggressive, always wandering outside the effective range of the British rifles, and when they are safe, let Lord Li go forward and hack a few half-dead prisoners.

At the same time, Li Shaoquan learned how to stay organized from the Royal Army of Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers holding the camera had already found the angle, and fixed the scene of Lord Li leaning out from the three bungee and chopping up foreign soldiers with a knife on the film.

"My lord is not good, foreigners are here to help!"

Suddenly, Kuizi Yingguan led Zheng Guokui to run over.

Kuizi Camp is the water camp of the Huai Army.

But at most, they fought against the Taiping Army in Taihu Lake, and never experienced a real naval battle.

"What? The foreigners still have reinforcements?"

Li Shaoquan was taken aback.

This surprise attack on Cape Town has not been smooth all the way, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as overwhelming.

Moreover, seeing the vast fertile pastures of the farmers along the way, the eyes of some landlords who accompanied the army turned green.

The money and manpower that I was reluctant to donate to lose before was finally given away.

"Damn it, is it true that we Jiangnan gentry are farming and studying heirs? My grandfather was also a fake Japanese!"

Said Lao Cai, a landlord who was drooling while looking at the big cows all over the mountains and plains.

Li Shaoquan scoffed at this.

Take a break at this point.

Seeing cows and wheat fields is such a virtue. Wouldn't it be necessary to utter a few Japanese words immediately when seeing the big gold mines in South Africa?

Objectively speaking, the so-called militiamen around Cape Town are indeed very powerful in combat, and they are on par with the elite family members of the gentry, but they are nothing more than a mantis in front of the tanks of the Southern Tang Army.

Moreover, if Li Shaoquan had no selfish intentions, he still had abilities and skills.

The Tang Nan army under his command is really good at touching villages and killing people, not to mention other skills.

So much so that no matter the British, Yi or Kunlun slaves along the way, no human or animal was left behind, and no trace of their whereabouts was revealed.

Until the army arrived outside Cape Town, where tonight's musical dance was still being rehearsed, the Cape Town authorities had no idea that dozens of Anglo-Saxon settlements had already been leveled.

In short, just because the progress was so smooth, it also made Li Shaoquan somewhat unreal.

After all, I have suffered from transphobia for many years, and I don’t know how many times I was scared by foreigners.

Now I find that foreigners cook like this, but I am not used to it.

Now that he heard that the foreigners still have reinforcements, Li Shaoquan felt that this was the right thing to do.

He hurriedly jumped off three times, found a high place, and raised the binoculars to look around.

I don't know if I don't look at it, but I'm startled when I look at it.

I saw more than a dozen huge British ships in the harbor slowly approaching the shore, and the decks of each ship were crowded with soldiers laying on the ground.

Judging by the skin color, it's all really foreign!

Obviously, the reinforcements from foreigners really exist, and there are many, very positive!

"No, I've fallen for the trick of the foreigners trying to catch them!"

Li Shaoquan was shocked, "I never thought that the military strategy of the British and barbarians is so profound, the old man regrets not listening to Zeng Ni's words, forging a stronghold and fighting a dull battle!"

Zheng Guokui said: "My lord, Yang Yi is cunning, the old man you chopped up and threw into the sea to feed the fish, I'm afraid it's not the real governor of Yang Yi, but Li Gui!

The real governor of Yangyi must be on the boat, waiting for work at ease, and strangling us!Or order the three armies to retreat quickly? "

"No!"

Although Li Shaoquan panicked, he didn't lose his mind.

"Our army is in a foreign country thousands of miles away, surrounded by powerful enemies in front, and without supplies in the rear, it has long since been impossible to retreat, and it is impossible to defend.

If you move forward, there is a ray of hope, if you retreat, the morale of the army will be lost.

In this deadly place, if there is no military spirit to use, how can there be a winning move?

Guokui, your eldest son is already in high school at Xinhang College, right?

The old man's eldest son is already a professor of Daming, and the old man's second son is also studying at Fengdu Maori Primary School.

Although the character of the emperor of this dynasty is cunning, he values ​​love and righteousness.

If we die here for our country, we should use our lives to hide future generations! "

Of course, Li Shaoquan didn't say a word.

When searching for those savages before, Li Shaoquan secretly ordered people to bury the gold, silver and jewels he had accumulated along the way in one place, and moved the group of savages he had caught before.

Those savages with poisonous bows but no money have unknowingly acted as the best bodyguards.

If he is really trapped, Li Shaoquan plans to surrender immediately, and then find a way to use the money to bribe Yang Yi to redeem himself.

Although it may not be feasible, it must be tried.

If it doesn't work, it's not too late to die for the country and save the child.

But before that...

"Where is Chen Feixiong!"

"The end is here!"

"Order your Xiongzi Battalion to control the fort and shell the foreign ships to defeat the prestige of the foreign forces!"

"Order!"

……

"Wu Changqing, order you to ambush the left wing of the Qingzi Camp, and the Yangyi will be wiped out when they land!"

……

"Zhang Zhibang, Qin Liansheng, I order you Zhiziying and Shengziying to search the barracks on the wharf, get rid of all evil, and slaughter those who are not of our race, so as to prevent them from suddenly erupting and attacking from inside and outside!"

……

"Liu Mingchuan, your Mingzi Battalion is a strong army approved by the Emperor Ming. This time, you have to block the landing of foreign barbarians head-on. Do you dare to take orders?"

"I shall die!"

……

Chapter 739 Three Hundred Warriors

"Whoever has Daming Zhuka, follow me!"

On the ruins of a bombed square, all 7000 members of the Mingzi Battalion are here.

Since Zhang Yuchun's death, Liu Mingchuan Liu Liumazi has been the number one general in Li Shaoquan's shogunate.

Before he was sent to the Western Regions to participate in the Western Chu's Western Expedition, from suspicion and resistance at the beginning, he became a reliable comrade of Ming Dynasty in the end, and even became a brother of a different surname with General Zhao Xizhu, the Protector of the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty.

The relationship is a bit messy here.

Because Zhao Xizhu once married Jinlan with Chu Wangyi.

And the King of Chu, Liu Songshan, and Bai Zhixin are serious sworn brothers.

Bai Zhixin is also the father-in-law of His Majesty Zhu Fugui.

And Liu Mingchuan is Li's subordinate.

Mr. Li faced His Majesty Zhu Fugui again with the gift of a grandson.

But Li's eldest son is a student whom His Majesty Zhu Fugui regards as his nephew, and he is also a great disciple of Kaishan.

All in all, the relationship here is quite complicated, comparable to the blood relationship of the European royal family.

Anyway, what is certain is that as early as the Battle of Xi'an, Liu Mingchuan, regardless of the danger, personally acted as the bait to lure the enemy, and made great contributions to "Peace" in solving the siege of Xi'an.

Later, when Yu Bai Yanhu and the Agubai Group fought, Liu Chuanming and the two or three hundred Huai troops he brought with him did not lose face to the Anhui people.

When it was time to worship the ancestors in the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum in northern Shaanxi, Zhu Fugui, who was obsessed with medals, awarded several sacks of medals along the way.
