Chapter 286: The Roar of Millions of Soldiers(1/2)
"Diana!" Liu Che suddenly asked, "Are you French artillery not afraid of the cold?"
"ah?"
Diana was stunned. At this time, she was wearing thick clothes and leaning against a group of French noble girls, her faces were red with cold.
After being slept by Liu Che, these girls exuded an amazing feminine charm. Unfortunately, the cold made them timid and did not dare to look up.
Seeing Liu Che asking questions, Diana hurriedly said, "No, no, Master, our French cannons are not not afraid of the cold, but they are usually covered with leather hoods, which can prevent cold, and the same is true for muskets!"
"kindness!"
Liu Che nodded with satisfaction and directly ordered: "Zhou Yu, do as you want, and accelerate your progress. I will kill the British Empire as quickly as possible."
"yes!"
Zhou Yu nodded quickly to agree.
"Master!" Chen Wansan said: "The capital of the British Empire is in London. We can dock from ports in Brighton, Eastbourne, Hesyans and other places. After capturing the port, London is dozens of miles away, tens of thousands of miles away."
"Of course, the emperor can also bypass the English Channel and go straight to the Tam River. The Tam River is a river that spans the entire British Empire. It is very large. The endless river water even flows through central London. Our warships can directly enter London."
Chen Wansan put out the map and pointed to the place name on the map skillfully and introduced that the British Empire was indeed very small, just like a narrow caterpillar, not too long and wide, and the area was even smaller, not as small as that of a big state.
"Go to the Tam River!" Liu Che ordered casually.
Liu Che chose the two roads mentioned by Chen Wansan without hesitation!
Liu Che is just in a hurry now. He is not interested in wasting too much thought here. His current thoughts are all on Ying Zheng and the Qin Empire. He wishes to fly back to Dagan to take charge immediately to deal with any conspiracy.
Of course, if Liu Che wanted to, he could use the teleportation talisman to teleport back to the Dagan Emperor Capital in an instant.
However, after thinking about it, he gave up on this plan.
It is imperative to destroy the British Empire. Even if the Qin Empire attacks and fights hard now, even if it is fighting to the death, Liu Che will not change his plan.
The English Channel is extremely cold, with thousands of huge warships riding the wind and waves on the sea, and the armored warships rushed to the front, even if they encountered icebergs, they would directly smash and crush them. Nothing could stop the army from rushing.
Half a day later, everyone can see a piece of land from afar, that is the land of the British Empire. From afar, you can see a lot of ships, ports and plains!
The foreigners in the British Empire obviously saw this vast army of warships. They were so scared that they panicked, but the Dakan army did not dock, but went north.
"The Eastern Demon is the Eastern Demon!"
"They are here, my god, hell!"
"Quick! Sound the alarm, hurry!"
Every port and every coastal outpost of the British Empire looked like a fuss. Countless blond and blue-eyed British soldiers were screaming in fear.
Soon, the news of the arrival of the Dakan army spread quickly, and many towns quickly sounded the alarm, and London, more than a hundred miles away, also quickly learned the news.
London is a very large city!
It is built on both sides of the Tam River, connected by a huge iron bridge. The river surface of the Tam River is several hundred meters wide, and the banks are full of endless dense buildings. There are many colonies in the British Empire, and their capital is naturally very luxurious. At first glance, they are full of spires and tall buildings, which are very spectacular and vast. The streets are full of blonde and blue-eyed foreign men and women.
To the west of London, there is a large area of royal palaces, a large number of luxurious palaces with the British Empire flavor, flat lawns, and a large number of royal guards guarding here.
At this time, in the palace of Kensington Palace, the beautiful young queen was sitting with a group of ministers, each with a sad face.
"Great Queen!" Rogil, the middle-aged prime minister with a blonde hair and a hook nose, said with a serious face: "According to our sentinels, the evil Orientals have indeed come to fight. Now they are heading north and intend to directly enter London through the Tam River. Do you have any opinions?"
The Prime Minister's words shocked all the foreigners present. Some of them were dukes, some were counts, some were treasurers, and all were senior officials of the British Empire. Only the beautiful queen Victoria, who was tall and above, was just a puppet.
As we all know, after the bourgeois revolution, the imperial power became a puppet, the queen was just a symbol, and the prime minister and parliament were the highest power centers of the British Empire.
Therefore, Prime Minister Rogil seemed to ask the Queen, but in fact it was just a routine. The beautiful Queen Victoria said nothing. Although there was a hint of anxiety on her beautiful pretty face, she still chose to shut up.
"Prime Minister and Queen, these hateful Orientals will definitely launch an attack directly from the banks of the Tam River and directly attack our central London. I suggest you launch a defense immediately!"
"God bless us, the hateful Orientals have wiped out our Royal Navy, or we can stop them before they even enter the Tam!"
"Duke Avino, should you mobilize your regular guards? You have to set up defenses on both sides of the Tam River as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late!"
All the British nobles spoke one after another, and everyone was unwilling to be eliminated. As one of the world's first-class powers, the British Empire has always colonized other countries and has never been attacked by others. Now they are suffering from the biggest crisis in their lives.
They are naturally unwilling to be trampled by Daqian!
They were all indignant and wanted to fight with the people of Daqian immediately because all this was related to their interests.
Queen Victoria suddenly asked, "Sir, how many soldiers do we have?"
"kindness?"
Everyone was stunned and immediately became embarrassed. Queen Victoria asked the most critical question, and there were not many soldiers in London at all.
The Royal Navy was destroyed, the British Empire was already strong from outside and the middle, and there were only some conventional garrison troops left in the whole of London, and some Royal Guards, with no more than 30,000 people.
But the Daqian army has millions of people, thousands of warships, and hundreds of thousands of artillery pieces. This is not a level of existence at all.
How can I fight this?
For a moment, all the nobles were extremely embarrassed and each one was very frustrated. Even Prime Minister Rogil was angry.
"Great Queen, you won't bother you!" Rogil said angrily: "The people of our great British Empire are brave and good at fighting, and will never be afraid of these Eastern demons. I have sent people to recruit a large number of militias in central London, and then set up a large number of artillery on both sides of the Tam River. With our layers of defense, we can definitely make the Eastern people in the dilemma! We can even destroy them on the banks of the Tam River!"
"Are you sure you can withstand it? Dear Prime Minister?" Queen Victoria smiled sneeringly.
"snort!"
Rogil was frightened and gritted his teeth, "You must withstand it. Great Queen, you should stay in this palace and have a good rest. I will carry the heads of the Eastern people to let you witness the glory of the British Empire."
"Really? Hope you can do it!"
Queen Victoria mocked again, she stood up gracefully and left without talking nonsense to everyone, because she knew that this matter was not something she could interfere with. Once a big fight came, there would be a fight.
Whoever wins and who loses will determine the fate of the British Empire and the fate of everyone...
The relationship between the Prime Minister and the Queen has never been very good, because one is a real power figure and the other is a puppet king. It is already very difficult for both parties to pretend to be peaceful on weekdays.
Now that the big fight is coming, no one has to pretend to be too much. It will explode when it is time to explode. The two of them are almost like tearing their faces apart.
Everyone is already used to it!
Prime Minister Rogil snorted coldly and said, "Earl Hansen, Earl Sund, please dispatch all the regular garrison troops immediately and go to the banks of the Tam River to set up defenses immediately. Duke Jacks, please contact other British nobles and ask them to mobilize private soldiers in their manor to help! Earl Sandry, please gather the militias that were recruited immediately. We are going to prepare for a big battle!"
"yes!"
The major nobles nodded and agreed. Everyone's face was very serious, but none of them were timid.
As nobles of the British Empire, they all had their own arrogance, and they never thought that an alien enemy could destroy them.
This battle is related to the situation in the entire British Empire and even the entire Europe, and also to the interests of each of them, so they will definitely do their best.
As the meeting ended, the major nobles began to go down quickly and get busy!
Soldiers from all over London and even the nearby cities, towns, and farms began to gather quickly, a large number of militia began to be recruited, and both sides of the Tam River began to become very lively. A large number of officers were roaring and roaring, commanding the chaotic army to begin to set up defenses.
A cannon was arranged on the streets and alleys by the river bank, and the balcony and roof of each building have been occupied.
Sandbags quickly formed huge defensive lines.
Behind each sandbag, there must be soldiers. Although London's regular troops were less than 30,000 and private troops were less than 20,000, a large number of militias could be recruited at any time, because this is a place where all the people are soldiers and cowboys are everywhere.
The British Empire implemented aristocratic system, and the huge colonies led to them being extremely aggressive. This was a country where invasion became popular. They liked to invade and even enslave other countries. Their entire people were soldiers, and men, women, young and old were proud of muskets.
Therefore, it is very easy to recruit a large number of militias. You only need to move out a box of cash and gold coins to recruit tens of thousands of terrible teams.
The Tam River flows through the river channel in central London, about ten kilometers long and has several circulating waters. The nearby shores have long been covered with defenses.
Prime Minister Rogil and a large number of British Empire nobles gathered on a tall building on the bank of the river early, and anxiously checked the enemy situation in the distance through a monocular telescope.
"Why haven't these damn Easterners come yet!" Rogil cursed inwardly.
"Here you come, look!"
"Damn, they're here!"
Everyone exclaimed, and Rogil was immediately startled. He was secretly cursing the big kids why they didn't come yet, but when the big kids really came, he was frightened.
He grabbed the monocular lens and saw that near the river entrance in the distance, a large number of armored warships were quickly coming here. These armored warships that were originally British Empire have now been replaced with the flag of the Dagan Empire. Rogil could even see the Dagan soldiers on the deck who were waiting for battle.
"Here, these demons are really here!" Rogil was so scared that he was frightened.
Although he was several miles away, he could still feel the terror of the Dakan army. They came in a mighty manner, and there were all their warships. The decks of the warships were densely packed with big soldiers, exuding a terrifying aura like ferocious beasts.
Is this the terrible strength of the Celestial Kingdom?
Rogil and others felt nervous all over, as if they were being targeted by a group of demons. At this time, the foreign soldiers on the shore also saw the warships. Countless people exclaimed, and the banks of the Tam River became very boiling.
"Earl Jack, get ready for battle!" Rogil roared anxiously.
"yes!"
A middle-aged blond and bearded officer roared: "All the little boys, listen to me and prepare for battle! What are you afraid of? There are only three enemy warships coming side by side. They cannot display their way on the Tam River. God is blessing us."
"Prepare to fight and kill these yellow-skinned monkeys!"
"God blesses the British Empire and the Queen!"
"Aim the artillery, hurry up!"
For a moment, the banks of the Tam River were very lively, and a large number of officers kept roaring in English accents, commanding artillery to start aiming. The soldiers of the British Empire also began to quickly load the guns and cannons, preparing to fight with the Dakan Empire.
On the deck of the battleship in the distance, Liu Che and others looked relaxed.
