New Ming Empire mixed in America

The martial arts competition began soon. Ge Dali once practiced martial arts with a master in a boxing gym for several years, and later carried bags on the dock for several years.

You must know that it is not easy to get a position on the dock in this era, and you have to rely on your fists to get it.

And Ge Dali was not only able to work steadily for several years, but also brought a group of brothers to have a full meal. He relied on his own skills.

It's a pity that even his hard work was not worth two packs of laxatives, and Ge Dali was sold to Peru to plant sugar cane.

Not having enough to eat, coupled with the shackles and the muskets in the hands of the guards, made Ge Dali's skills useless.

Until the Xinming Empire took them back, Ge Dali, who knew nothing about farming, joined the National Defense Force.

Here, relying on his good skills and relatively bright brain, he quickly became the company commander after several battles.

But Ge Dali encountered a tough opponent today. Sun Changying was a good fighter in the tribe before, and he was trained in fighting.

Neither of them have any fixed routines, and their moves are aimed at making the other party lose the ability to resist, so the fighting scene is exciting to watch.

After dozens of moves, Sun Changying was the first to hit Ge Dali's chin with his more flexible skills, and the winner was decided.

Shaking his dizzy head, Ge Dali gave Sun Changying a thumbs up and said, "Okay, you are worth getting along with."

Because there was not much difference in strength just now, and Sun Changying did not continue to attack after gaining the advantage, Ge Dali admired it very much.

This time there were no complaints among the company commanders. The most capable among them were defeated, and the rest went up for free.

The following soldier competition was the reason why the company commanders were willing to cooperate. In their opinion, although the number of soldiers in the mountain troops was small, they had good skills in all aspects.

If the enemy commander is attacked by surprise, the soldiers of these mountain troops have a better chance.

The news that the vanguard force had been wiped out made the general who led the battle very angry.

"Those Easterners wiped out all our vanguard troops, and you didn't even have a decent counterattack. I'm really disappointed!"

General Aubrey, who had just followed up with a large force, slapped the table angrily.

These officers who arrived earlier than him actually huddled in the camp after being wiped out a vanguard force.

This is simply a disgrace, a disgrace to them leading the British soldiers, and a disgrace to him as a general!

"Why didn't you organize a counterattack? My scouts discovered that even the vanguard was wiped out. What do you do for food?"

Although he was cursing like this, Aubrey's eyes were fixed on a middle-aged officer.

Because this man was an officer who came from the mainland of Daiying before the battle, and he made it clear as soon as he arrived that he would be responsible for commanding an army alone.

How could Aubrey agree that someone in his army disobeyed the command, so the two had a fierce dispute.

Finally, the War Department of the British mainland sent an order to temporarily calm down the dispute.

But this doesn't make Aubrey agree. Those bastards in the War Department are biased towards the other side at first sight.

Because they actually appointed each other as the commander of the native soldiers, and as the army commander, he was only responsible for commanding a small number of native soldiers, and the rest were Canadian servants.

"I think the number of Easterners who ambushed the vanguard should exceed six thousand, otherwise they would not have been able to wipe out all our soldiers in a short time."

Finally, the middle-aged officer said in a low voice:

"I ordered the soldiers to stay in the camp. This kind of exploratory attack should be done by the Canadian servants. I can't let the local soldiers be consumed in this kind of battle!"

This is the biggest difference between the middle-aged officer's philosophy and General Aubrey's.

Aubrey believed that the battle should be fought by the brave British soldiers leading the charge, while the Canadian servants were responsible for the logistics and shouted "666".

But the middle-aged officer believed that the fierce battles should be used up by the Canadian servants, while the British troops should be used in more critical positions.

"You are a coward. The Orientals killed your companions. Do you want to be like this coward and let the Canadian servant army help you avenge them?"

Aubrey first criticized the middle-aged officer, and then roared at the officers who followed him to participate in the meeting:

"When did our soldiers who led the British become like this? They are as timid as mice. When encountering a battle, they just huddle back and wait for the servants to fight. Is this how you become a soldier who leads the British?"

Soon, Aubrey's words were recognized by the other officers, and he successfully used the middle-aged man's small mistake to evade the other party, and regained the command of the army in his own hands.

The next day, the spirit of the British army changed completely, and the original passive and lazy atmosphere in the army was completely gone.

After several of Aubrey's public speeches, the long-suppressed anger over the death of his comrades was fully mobilized.

After repairing for a period of time, a mixed force of 40,000 people rushed towards the location where they were ambushed.

When all the British soldiers saw the corpses of their comrades who had obviously been searched and even their uniforms were missing, the slogan of revenge against the Orientals resounded throughout the army.

This greatly increased Aubrey's influence, and the middle-aged officer became synonymous with cowards in everyone's eyes.

After advancing for some distance, the British army finally encountered the first line of defense of the National Defense Forces.

Looking at the hillside surrounded by barbed wire and sharpened wooden barriers, Aubrey took a breath.

If they attack, the soldiers not only have to attack from their backs, but also face the trouble caused by those obstacles.

It seems that there are not only these arrangements on the hillside, but judging from the brand-new soil, there must be more traps on the hillside.

"Let the artillery continue to advance for a certain distance, and then use the artillery to keep firing on the hillside!"

Aubrey was not an idiot. He could not let the soldiers rush forward and die, so he could only let the artillery waste some shells and gunpowder.

Anyway, with supplies from Victoria Freeport, they can be transferred here soon through Portland Port.

So the sound of artillery fire continued for more than two hours, until the slope was turned into a hornet's nest, and the British troops began to charge.

When they successfully occupied this defense line, they did not find the bodies of the Easterners, leaving only some blood stains and the muzzleloader that was destroyed in the explosion.

"General, I heard that Easterners have the habit of collecting the corpses of their companions, so I think those corpses were taken away by the evacuators."

The middle-aged officer finally found an opportunity to show his presence, but now his prestige has dropped to the bottom, and no one is willing to pay attention to him, a coward.

"Then go ahead and take a look at the destroyed Napoleon cannons. I don't think those Easterners have any larger caliber cannons."

Pointing to the six-pound cannons destroyed by the shells and some shells and gunpowder that could not be taken away in time, an officer expressed his guess.

"Since the sanctions were announced against the Orientals, all countries will not sell weapons to these Orientals, so it is very good for them to have some six-pounders."

Aubrey agreed with the officer's guess, took out the map and frowned at the simple lines on it.

The map here was obtained from the original Californians who ran to Oregon, and those people did not have a more specific map.

Only one road is marked above which is best and suitable for large-scale marches.

"Then keep moving forward. I want to see how many lines of defense those Easterners have waiting for us to crush!"
