"My family of Cao has been favored by the emperor, how could he escape at this time?

This is the time to serve the emperor and fulfill his loyalty to the country!

As long as we defeat the British barbarians, we will make great contributions!"

"Sir, those bannermen have all escaped. If we make contributions here, it is probably not a blessing.

Adults should be careful about how the banner master in Guangdong city can reverse the right and wrong.

Cao Xing was stunned after hearing this, and pondered for a moment:

"No, once the Humen Fort is lost, you and I will not be able to leave either. And I cannot be sorry for the cultivation of the emperor. Shouldn't our Cao family be able to have this today?

"Sir.

The bannerman and the owners ran away. This world is the bannerman's world. We Han people are just slaves, so we don't have to fight hard here.

If you win, you may not be able to get the credit for the adults. If you lose, the Cao family behind us will probably be implicated."

"snort!

The British barbarians only relied on the benefits of artillery. After we got ashore, we had the Humen Fort and had a large number of troops. Why should we be afraid of it?

There is justice in this world, and I don’t believe that if I win this battle, the bannermen and masters above will not be able to share any contribution.

I believe in the wise and wise eyes of the Lord!”

"grown ups……"

"I have decided, no need to persuade you. Go and gather all the soldiers. I want to point the soldiers in front of the formation!"

While Cao Xing was busy taking over the abandoned green camp soldiers, Colonel KFC had already sat on a small sampan, standing on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, and behind him were white soldiers wearing red clothes and white pants and triangular hats, rowing their oars toward the shore.

Since Colonel KFC was not led by the regular "Central Army", the military cap is still the traditional triangle cap of the last century.

Now, with Li Wei winning consecutive victories on the European continent, the triangular military cap has long been eliminated.

The high-tube military caps that do not have too many sides blocking their sight gradually became popular.

This kind of military cap was first popular with grenadiers, but later it gradually became gorgeous, and became popular among the regular armies of various countries.

The triangular military cap has become the standard for second-tier troops and colonial troops.

In other words, the discrimination chain of European military in this era is that the high-tube military cap despises the triangular military cap...

Of course, there are also countries that do not abide by this European tradition, such as the United States of America, which is regarded as a land bun by continental countries. The regular army still insists on the triangular military cap (mainly because it has no money to change clothes!)…

On the battlefield where the line infantry is lined with shooting, it is okay to use triangular military caps, but if you want to drop bombs, you must wear high-tube military caps with few corners, otherwise it is easy to hurt others and yourself when grenades.

Colonel KFC was very clear about the virtues of those Indian soldiers. This battle was crucial to Colonel KFC and even the entire expeditionary army. Only wins and not defeats!

Otherwise, if the first battle is defeated, the London government will re-evaluate the military strength of the Far East Empire. At that time, this expedition that will cost the people and the people of the Indians (who will be the Indians, the wealth of the Indians) may not be able to continue.

To put it bluntly, the London government launched this Far East War just to make a big fortune and add a huge amount of money, so that the Qing court would give up high tariffs and open more trade ports, so that British goods that were striding forward in the industrial revolution could find a suitable dumping place!

As the industrial revolution in the British Isles grew longer and longer, the surplus of productivity gradually became a problem.

British capitalists obviously will not be cruel to cut production capacity. They will only hold magnifying glasses and constantly look for new places to dump products on the world map.

Of course, another major reason for the overproductive capacity of the UK commodity is also the successive victory of the Levi government on the European continent.

The tyrant Levi is not polite to the London government. Although the two sides are already in a state of peace and have not carried out a trade blockade, the Levi government has always imposed high tariffs on British goods on the grounds of trade protection, leaving British goods without competitiveness in the Roman Empire under the control of Levi's government!

Nowadays, British goods can only be sold to the Russian Empire and small Nordic countries on the European continent.

Even the Kingdom of Prussia, which was also undergoing the industrial revolution, did not require British goods.

The Russian Empire, which has always been poor, traded with Britain to trade goods with goods, and exchanged the Russian Empire's food for British goods, rather than real money!

Therefore, the British government could not dump goods in the Russian Empire at all, and the Russian Empire, which was full of serfs, had no consumption capacity...

The explosion of productivity brought about by the first industrial revolution is not all products, mainly in the textile industry.

The Russian Empire had a limited number of nobles and free people, so how many textile products could it consume?

However, the trade between the British Isles and the Russian Empire has prevented the British Isles from suffering from a food crisis. Even though the Irish people have been at the bottom of the discrimination chain of the British Isles, many people have not been starved to death.

Most of them work in factories and suffer from decline in health and death from illness.

Factory in this era has no environmental protection measures, and many toxic substances produced in production processes will enter the workers' bodies without any obstacles.

In addition, there are no holidays and more than ten hours a day is required, so many workers can only get the lunch box after working in the factory for a few years...

This is also the fundamental reason why after the outbreak of the first industrial revolution, productivity has increased a lot, but the average life expectancy of human beings has not increased.

Of course, the Roman Empire was not much better than the strait, but British capitalists exploited their own citizens, while the Roman Empire exploited prisoners of war slave labor.

The first batch of soldiers who landed were all white soldiers. Although these white soldiers were ridiculed by the British Central Army in the Indian subcontinent, their combat effectiveness had long been developed through frequent combat.

In addition, Colonel KFC led the team himself, morale has always been at its peak.

The previous naval battle allowed them to see the weakness of these Qing troops with pigtails.

With a muffled bang, Colonel KFC turned over and landed on the soft beach, stepped on the soft sand, raised his command knife with an ivory pendant inlaid, and shouted wildly: "Everyone, gather with me!"

Soon, a rice-shaped flag appeared next to Colonel KFC, which was obviously better than his shouting.

The soldiers in red and white trousers who landed in the shallow quickly gathered next to Colonel KFC.

Form a horizontal platoon array.

Cao Xing above looked at the speed of the gathering of these English barbarians, and his expression suddenly became heavy.

He is different from other Green Camp officers, he is a soldier!

That’s right, the Green Camp officers may not all know the soldiers nowadays. Knowing soldiers here does not include talking about the soldiers on paper!

This is mainly due to the Green Camp system and the corruption of the Qing court.

At this time, the Qing court had long become the norm. Many green camp officials were bought by large gentry members, and they knew nothing about fighting.

The system of the Green Camp father's death and son's succession has also made the Green Camp military system extremely rigid. After all, we cannot expect that all the Green Camp officers can educate qualified successors. There are not too many stories about tiger fathers and dogs and sons...

If you want to know the troops, you must go to the military camp to command the troops to train personally, which is a hard work.

People are lazy, who doesn’t want to listen to Xiaoqu in the brothel and hug Meijiao Niang and have fun?

What's the fun of watching a group of rough men training in the barracks in the scorching sun?

They don't need to fight anyway!

It is precisely this kind of corruption that led to the peasant uprising under the Qing court, which swept across multiple cities at any time. It is not that the peasant army has such strong combat power, but that the Qing army is too scumbag.

Look at Europe during the same period, except for the French Revolution, which country was overturned by mud legs?

Even in the French Revolution, it was a group of army led by capitalists and liberal aristocrats who won the victory!

Of course, this is also related to the long-term wars in mainland Europe.

The peasant uprising army really cannot confront those regular troops who have experienced many battles, and they can't even stand a single encounter...

Now Colonel KFC is leading such a group of veterans.

They may not have a sense of honor (if they have a sense of honor, they will not travel across the ocean to India as mercenaries to make money), but their combat skills are absolutely excellent.

But soon, Cao Xing was not worried about the British barbarian army gathering on the beach.

Because the British fleet that had wiped out the Qing Dynasty naval army was moving towards the Humen Fort, Cao Xing felt the pain of his previous naval colleagues.

Pieces of solid iron balls hit the turret. Even though the turret is made of stone and is relatively strong, each time it can bring large pieces of gravel.

When Cao Xing saw a soldier next to him, with a piece of gravel as big as a fist inlaid on his face, he no longer dared to stand on a high place to command, and took his guard down to avoid cannons...

As soon as the commander left, the Green Camp soldiers, who were already dazed by the English artillery, lost their morale. Not long after, there was no living Green Camp soldiers on the fort.

Colonel KFC, with less than a thousand white soldiers, holding the rice flag, walked across the beach with high morale and towards the Humen Fort. He was not bombarded by any artillery throughout the journey, even if there were black muzzles aimed at them not far from their heads!

The Green Camp artillery above were scared away!

The disaster of the Green Camp soldiers stopped until Colonel KFC's flag bearer passed the flag and told the fleet with the rice flag flying on the ocean to stop the shelling.

However, when they poked their heads out, Colonel KFC's soldiers had already pushed the gun in front of them.

The steep terrain advantage of Humen Fort was smoothed out by English naval artillery!

When Cao Xing saw that his own geographical advantage was lost, he sent people to gather all the green camp soldiers who had hidden away, and his passion for loyalty to the Qing Dynasty instantly filled his chest.

He pulled out his ancestral sword and shouted loudly in front of a group of green camp soldiers with depressed faces and many people even threw their weapons there:

"Brothers, it's time for the Lord and the Qing Dynasty to be loyal. Bounce me and kill all the red-haired ghosts!"

Driven by Cao Xing's confidant, more than a thousand (some of the Green Camp soldiers were abandoned when the Humen Fort was bombarded) Green Camp soldiers, holding bird guns, spears, shields, waist knives, fists, etc., charged towards Colonel KFC's army like a mob.

The green camp bird gunner raised his gun and fired, and he didn't estimate the shooting distance. Even aiming was just like a look...

Those who hold bows and arrows shoot arrows on their backs, but these soft bows can't shoot far away!

The Green Camp soldiers equipped soft bows not because the Qing court's cold weapons were not good, but because the hard bows were placed in their hands and could not be pulled open!

The soft bows of this era actually refer to those bows and arrows that adult men can pull. For hard bows, they require extraordinary arm strength or systematically trained professional archers to pull them away.

When the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, everyone could naturally pull a hard bow, and even many flag slaves could use hard bows skillfully. After all, this is a skill to eat. If you can't practice the bow and arrow well, your head will be lost!

But now...
