Chapter 3992
At this time, on the Australian battlefield.
The French troops, led by Drew, advanced rapidly.
The Long Yan Army led by Xie Fang had been corroded by his previous army leasing policy and had little combat effectiveness.
General Li is the current President of Australia.
There is an old saying in Long Yan: if one general is incompetent, the three armies will be exhausted!
But what he said now is exactly the opposite. No matter how subtle General Li's command was, these Longyan troops were all confused in their execution.
Once there was even an ambush.
However, the Long Yan Army on the mission arrived half an hour late due to weather conditions.
The result was an ambush and an encounter.
The final result, not to mention, was that three thousand Longyan troops attacked five thousand French troops.
Long Yan's army was defeated. This was an attack launched by the commander when he clearly knew the opponent's combat strength.
In short, after these battles, General Li was speechless.
In nearly a lifetime of fighting, I have never seen such a speechless fighting method.
But General Li only severely punished the commander afterwards and did not remove him!
It is taboo to change generals before the war, especially now that the battle between them and the French army has reached a fever pitch. If the army commanders are to be adjusted now.
Then the newly appointed commander will inevitably be unfamiliar with the troops, which will make the battle more difficult.
But now, Long Yan's army is retreating steadily.
Maritime warfare relies on weapons. Although the integrity of the army is important, the navy is not the army.
Xie Fang's navy has not been leased out by the army and still maintains strong combat effectiveness.
It's just that the number of Yinzhou ships has not been replenished due to Xie Fang's squandering for such a long time.
Therefore, the Longyan Navy could only hold the scene with resentment. They even controlled the Longyan Yinzhou ship that was shot, and rammed and sank a French army battleship.
But the bravery of the navy cannot affect the entire war situation.
After the French army landed, they quickly attacked and have now reached the city of Sydney!
This is an important city for the Xie Fang government and a very important port city.
Because of Xie Fang's free trade policy, the daily throughput of Sydney Port has reached a very terrifying level, which is not much different from Long Yan's top port.
But at this moment, the Sydney port has been occupied by the French troops who landed on Australian territory.
Xie Fang and the active princes and ministers fled immediately after knowing that Long Yan's navy could not hold on.
Only General Li and Long Yanjun are left to hold on here.
Drew's troops were not in a hurry to attack after taking over Sydney Port. For them, it was not just Sydney that they wanted to capture, but more importantly, the factories and technicians in Australia who had Longyan technology.
In their eyes, these talents are the Australian government's most valuable assets.
However, when Xie Fang retreated, he did not take these people away at all. In their eyes, the lives of princes and nobles were much more valuable than the lives of these slaves.
Xie Fang's Prime Minister once dissuaded Xie Fang and took away Long Yan's technicians who assisted them. Those factories were also smashed to prevent these French people from getting Long Yan's technology.
But it is obvious that Xie Fang did not follow the Prime Minister's advice.
They kept these technicians and factories, but sent out the Longyan Army to protect them.
But how could the decayed Longyan Army be the opponent of these troops? They didn't even fight for more than half an hour.
