Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 1020 Elite Duel
Facing the bombardment of the Ming army from the two directions of the Thames River and the city of London, the British army in London suddenly became a mess.

The current London Army general Williams, the captain of the guard of Charles I, loudly commanded the English soldiers to defend London well.

"Warriors of the British Empire, don't be afraid, fight back with artillery..."

"Boom..."

Before he finished speaking, a cannonball exploded beside him, smashing several soldiers around him to pieces. Williams, the new garrison commander, was also blown up. He got up from the ground only to find that one of his arms had also disappeared with the explosion. no trace.

"God……"

Williams, the new city lord of the British Empire who was still loudly commanding the defense just now, no longer cared about commanding, he yelled and ran away.

The firepower of the Ming army was so fierce that there were explosions all over the city of London. Seeing that the main general had run away, whoever wanted to defend the city, other soldiers followed him and ran down the city.

"Rumble..."

The Mokham missiles on the battleship are similar to the short-range rockets of later generations. They bombarded the city of London continuously from the Ming army warships parked on the Thames River, and exploded wherever they went, and then started to ignite the fire.

The artillery on the battleship also bombarded the city of London one after another, and soon the city wall of London near the Thames was riddled with holes. All the British soldiers who had not come to escape were blown to pieces.

Many British soldiers were big smokers, yawned from time to time, and had no combat effectiveness at all. They had never seen such a violent attack, and they were scared to death. They all looked for places to hide and dared not come out to defend.

The 200 Chongzhen cannons of Li Dingguo's Daming Dragon Banner Army in front of the formation also blasted the city of London one after another, and soon smashed the south gate of the city of London, and even the city wall collapsed more than [-] meters.

But the Ming artillery did not stop bombarding, and continued to bombard London with artillery. If they did not blow up the defenders in the city, they would scare them half to death, so that these British guys could not resist. Mentally conquer these British defenders.

Hearing the earth-shattering gunfire outside the city and inside the city, Charles I in Buckingham Palace felt that the British Empire was about to end in his hands, because he had never heard such intense gunfire and explosions when he grew up.

At this moment, I saw Williams stumbling in blood covered in blood:
"Your Majesty, put on the clothes of ordinary people and leave London! The army of the British Empire simply cannot compete with the Ming army."

Charles I had already seen that one of Williams' arms was missing, and he suddenly felt dizzy.

But before he could ask questions, Williams had already fainted to the ground due to excessive blood loss.

Seeing his confidant fainted, Charles I hurriedly called out to the imperial physician:

"Doctor, come and treat Williams!"

Hearing the king's call, two royal doctors rushed in to stop Williams' bleeding.

Seeing the imperial doctor come in to treat Williams, Charles I said:
"Williams is the most loyal minister of the British Empire, you must cure him..."

The two imperial doctors hurriedly said:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will try our best to cure the general."

Charles I ignored the two imperial physicians, and hurriedly sent an order to gather all the pro-military troops.

As the king of England, Charles I certainly had his own soldiers, otherwise he would have been overthrown by the rebels long ago.

There was not a single soldier on the city wall, they were either blown to death or burned to death, and the remaining soldiers all fled.

Now there is only the Royal Palace Guard left in London, and Charles I personally led the British Empire with a force of 3 horses to the South Gate.

He is preparing to fight to the death with the Ming army, this guy still has some backbone.

But just after walking out of the palace, they heard fierce shouts and gunshots not far away. Obviously, the Ming army had already entered London.

Knowing that the Ming army would attack the British palace immediately after entering the city, Charles I ordered the British army to line up five miles outside Buckingham Palace to meet the enemy.

The city of London has been breached by the British army, and he does not believe that Buckingham Palace can block the advance of the Ming army.

In order to prevent Buckingham Palace from being burned by the flames of war, he decided not to fight the Ming army in Buckingham Palace.

Charles I believed that even if the Ming army fully occupied Britain, it would only be temporary, and Buckingham Palace would return to the embrace of the British royal family one day.

Charles I once commanded the battle. He gave an order, and [-] British troops began to line up. They also fired in three rows, and [-] cavalry were distributed on both wings.

These 3 horses are Charles I's trump card and the most elite army in England.

Although England also has hundreds of thousands of troops, a small half of the soldiers are heavy smokers, and they were basically wiped out after the Ming army landed.

As soon as Charles I ordered the British army to finish their formation, Li Dingguo led the five thousand Dragon Banner Army to two kilometers in front of them.

The Dragon Banner Army had 5000 troops in England this time, and they split up after entering the city, so Li Dingguo only brought [-] troops to attack Buckingham Palace.

Almost at the same time, [-] marines led by Zheng Chenggong also entered London.

After the Ming army entered London, the capital of the United Kingdom, they did not gather together, and immediately spread out in units of thousands of people to attack all parts of London.

With the fighting power and equipment advantages of the Ming army, it doesn't matter even if they encounter a large group of British troops. If they lose, they can immediately send a signal for help.

Because Li Dingguo wanted to attack the British Buckingham Palace, he brought five thousand Dragon Banner troops.

Sure enough, they were blocked by the British not far from Buckingham Palace.

Raising his binoculars to see the formation of the British, Li Dingguo sneered, and immediately ordered the Ming army to march forward.

Five thousand Ming troops quickly arranged two phalanxes, and then the two phalanxes began to move towards the front of the British formation.

Seeing the Ming army's phalanx slowly moving towards the British phalanx, the corners of Charles I's mouth twitched.

This is the phalanx he saw moving forward this time. From this point, it can be seen that the Ming army is very well trained.

At a place close to 200 meters in front of the British phalanx, Li Dingguo ordered the phalanx to stop:

"Pause the advance, and the machine guns will be mounted by the governor!"

"Yes"

More than 100 light machine guns and heavy machine guns were set up immediately, and then the Ming army in front of the formation retreated two steps.

The Ming army in the front row of the square retreated two steps, and more than 100 light and heavy machine guns were exposed.

"Look, what kind of weapon is that in the Ming army..."

Seeing the light and heavy machine guns exposed in the formation of the Ming army, the British soldiers were stunned. They had never seen such weapons.

Charles I hurriedly shouted:

"Keep the formation and don't move around, send [-] cavalry on each side to charge the formation of the Ming army!"

"Yes"

When Charles I gave an order, five hundred cavalry rushed out from each wing of the British army, and they urged their horses to rush towards the Ming army.

Seeing about a thousand cavalry rushing over, Li Dingguo did not let the machine gun fire, and he waved his hand to send an order:
"A full thousand cavalry dare to attack our army's phalanx, and kill them with rifled guns!"

"Bang bang bang..."

A thousand riflemen in the front row took the lead, and immediately pulled the trigger on the charging British cavalry.

After a burst of gunfire, a thousand British cavalrymen fell off their horses one after another...
