Chapter 1213 The end of the overlord

At Buckingham Palace, the office of Prince Albert, the Queen of Queen Victoria of England, is still on. + His Highness the Prince is working hard for the future of the British Empire. However, God seems to have given up on Britain. Even if His Highness works hard, it cannot change the fate of Britain. The army of the vicious Chinese Empire has already reached the British mainland. The former world overlord is about to perform the final masterpiece.

A soft body lay on Prince Albert's back from behind. The familiar smell made Prince Albert know who the person was.

"Dear, you're not asleep so late?" Prince Albert's face squeezed a somewhat ugly smile.

"Dear, I can't sleep. Is the British Empire really destined to perish?" Queen Victoria's voice was already filled with a hint of crying. She never thought that the glory of the British Empire would end in her hands and that the glory would disappear. All this was not what she wanted to see. She always hoped to lead the British Empire to become more prosperous and powerful.

"Dear, this is not your fault. Don't put too much burden on yourself. This is God has given up on the British Empire, otherwise the Chinese would not have become stronger so soon!" A hint of regret flashed in Prince Albert's eyes. If they had known that the final threat of the Chinese Empire would be so great, perhaps, when the New China was founded, Britain should have done its best to destroy the New China. With the national strength of Britain at that time, it would be easy to destroy a newly established small country in South China.

However, in the end, due to policy mistakes, the New China became stronger and stronger. In the end, it swallowed up the entire China. After the founding of the Chinese Empire, Britain could no longer prevent this ancient country from showing vitality.

There is no medicine for regret in the world. All, Britain was unable to destroy the Chinese Empire when the Chinese Empire was still weak and strangled the crisis in the cradle. Then, now they have to bear this consequence. The powerful Britain will be destroyed by the Chinese Empire.

"God gave up the British Empire? Why is this so? We are God's most devout believers!" Queen Victoria cried. Now Queen Victoria seems to be no longer the lofty queen, but a sad little woman.

"Dear, will those Chinese kill us and our children after they destroy Britain? I know that those Chinese like to do this the most, and they always try to eliminate all their enemies." Queen Victoria's eyes were full of horror.

"No. Dear, you think too much. Although the Chinese will destroy Britain, they will not hurt us. I will protect you and our children!" Prince Albert said firmly.

Queen Victoria looked at Prince Albert in confusion, wondering what else he could do. In Queen Victoria's heart, the Chinese Empire was able to directly equate with the demons crawling out of hell. She was a little suspicious, does Prince Albert really have this ability?

"Dear, the Chinese are very greedy for money. As long as we pay a certain price, they will retain your throne. This is also the reason why I leave so much wealth. As long as I can keep your throne, even if it costs a lot of wealth, it is worth it!" Prince Albert said. He had made up his mind and sent someone to secretly contact the Chinese when Britain was destroyed. If the Chinese Empire retained the throne of Queen Victoria, at least the queen of the Kingdom of England, then he would not mind paying enough.

"Well! Dear, those Chinese are very greedy. As long as we give them enough gold, they will not hurt us!" Queen Victoria finally felt relieved.

On August 4, 1855, the 14th Army of the Imperial Army in the eastern part of the Cheviet Hills gathered three infantry troops and a heavy artillery brigade of the army to attack here. On the sea, four "Qin-class" battleships of the 1st Army of the Imperial Navy were also carrying a number of cruisers and destroyers, crazily pouring fire into the British positions.

The shells fell densely, covering the entire British army's positions in the smoke of gunpowder. The power of the Imperial Navy's naval cannons is much stronger than that of the Army's cannons. Even if the British army hides in the anti-aircraft artillery hole, they cannot resist it. Often, the entire anti-aircraft artillery hole is blown down, causing the British army to be buried alive.

At the same time, the 15th Army and the 16th Army of the Imperial Army also launched an attack. The entire Chevyut Hills defense line was formed. The British Army's defense line was fiercely attacked by the firepower of the Imperial Army and the Navy. A large number of fortifications were destroyed, and the casualties were even more severe.

General William Maynard, the British commander in charge of the Chevyut Hills defense line, immediately ordered the British army to enter the highest combat readiness state, so the troops entered the front line and prepared to resist the attack of the Imperial Army. At the same time, General William Maynard also sent a telegram to London, asking the Secretary of the Army Marquis Anglesey to send more reinforcements to him. Otherwise, he would not be sure to defend the defense line with the army alone.

After the fierce artillery fire, the attack of the Imperial Army began. Faced with the fierce attack of the Imperial Army, the British army's resistance was not firm. Except for a small number of British troops who firmly resisted the attack of the Imperial Army, the rest of the British army either chose to escape or surrender in order to save their lives.

What General William Maynard most unacceptable was that Lieutenant General Anteson, the chief of the 33rd Infantry Army of the British Army, led the entire infantry army to surrender to the Imperial Army. This directly led to a big hole in the defense line of the British Army, and the troops of the 14th Army of the Imperial Army could directly cross the British defense line and encircle the British army's rear route.

When Wicaster fell into control of the 14th Army of the Imperial Army, the British Army was shaken all over the line. In order to avoid being cut off and not being surrounded by the Chinese Army, General William Maynard had to order the British Army to start a full retreat.

At this time, once the troops are not well-trained, it is very likely that the retreat on the whole line will be transformed into a defeat on the whole line. There is no doubt that the British army is simply composed of a mob. After the order to retreat, they did not leave enough troops to cut off the rear to block the Imperial Army's attack. Even the British army that was ordered to stay almost retreated immediately as soon as the main force retreated. As for the order to block the Imperial Army, they had already left behind.

Everyone has only one thought in their minds, that is, to save their lives, rather than die on the battlefield. It can be said that when the war reached this point, the British Army had lost confidence in victory.

During the pursuit of the Imperial Army, the British Army easily turned into a major defeat on the whole line. In order to reduce weight and accelerate the escape, a large number of British soldiers threw away their weapons and equipment, and even took off their uniforms. From the road south of the Chevyut Hills, there were supplies of weapons and equipment left over from the British army everywhere.

After the Secretary of the Army in London, Marquis Anglesey, learned that the Chevyutt line had collapsed, he fell on the sofa and said nothing. He knew that Britain was finished and completely finished. The Chinese Army heading south from Scotland would sweep across the northern part of England.

In order to stop the British defeat, Marquis Anglesey had to draw troops from other defense lines to reinforce. This also made the British Army's troops on other defense lines even more empty.

On August 7, the 13th Army of the Imperial Army, escorted by the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy, crossed the Irish Sea, entered the Bay of Bristol, and landed directly in Bristol. Originally, the 13th Army was planned to land in Wales. However, in order to give full play to the advantages of the Imperial Navy, Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming finally changed the landing point and placed the landing point in Bristol.

Although the British Army deployed more than 100,000 people in Bristol and also had shore defense turrets. However, the British Army's defense soon collapsed due to the fierce shelling of the main force of the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy. When the British Army's defense collapsed, the Imperial Army's 13th Army easily landed in Bristol.

Bristol is less than 200 kilometers away from London. With the speed of the Imperial Army, it will take a long time to reach London. In order to ensure the safety of London, the Marquis of Anglesey had to draw troops again to intercept the 13th Army of the Imperial Army.

On August 9, the 20th Army of the Imperial Army landed in Eastbourne. With the help of the 1st Fleet of the Imperial Navy, the British fortifications were quickly destroyed. This directly allowed the 20th Army of the Imperial Army to land easily.

Eastbourne is less than a hundred kilometers away from London, and the threat to London is far greater than that of the 13th Army of the Empire that landed in Bristol.

Faced with the threat of the Imperial Army, Marquis Anglesey had to divide his troops again and prepare to block the Imperial Army's 20th Army. This reduced the British Army's troops deployed near London to a very terrible level.

Although Marquis Anglesey knew that the Imperial Army had a powerful army that did not attack. However, he had no choice but to do so. If the troops in London were not drawn, he would have to sit back and watch the Imperial Army's 13th Army and the 20th Army approached London. The British army could not defend London in the end. After drawing troops near London, the last army of the Imperial Army would definitely land near London without thinking.

On August 11, the 21st Army of the Imperial Army successfully landed at the mouth of the Thames and marched towards London. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
