The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 276 The Three Lights of the Braided Soldiers
On a battlefield filled with gunpowder, armed men in capuki uniforms and British civilian uniforms picked up one after another of usable muskets among piles of corpses.

Duan Qirui rode a tall horse, surrounded by many guards, and came down to a high ground on the battlefield. Looking around, there were bright red corpses everywhere!

Groups of British captives with their arms raised passed under Duan Qirui. At this moment, he found his most beautiful artistic conception.

"After this battle, the road to London is opened, and it won't be long before the British will prepare for the second defense of London, haha."

Surrounded by senior officers wearing strange gray military uniforms but with white faces, they echoed: "The commander-in-chief won the battle and wiped out 10 British troops. Our Beiyang army will definitely become the new masters of the British Isles."

After several months of fighting and aggression, less than 4% of Duan Qirui's 5 trial officers and soldiers remained, but the size of his troops did not decrease but increased, expanding to more than [-]!
This does not count the number of mobs, they are all field troops.

If the local security regiment loyal to Duan Qirui is also counted, the number has already exceeded 10.

In addition, after several months of investment regardless of cost, the military factory controlled by Duan Qirui has also completed the imitation work of Hanyang. make.

Of course, all the grenades that are not complicated in structure are also available. The arrival of the trial army this time will undoubtedly raise the overall level of armament in the British Isles by a level.

But for white people in the British Isles, this is not a good thing.

No matter how backward Hanyang made it, it is still a mature breech-loading gun, and its killing efficiency is not comparable to that of a flintlock or even a Mini rifle.

Not to mention the widespread use of individual weapon grenades that blow up a large area.

Now it's not just the trial army sent by Yuri. After nearly half a year, the British government has also imitated the Hanyang-made hand grenade.

There is no way, time is too tight, Queen Victoria can't wait for the breech-loading gun independently developed, and directly uses the captured model to imitate.

Because of this, the breech-loading guns used by both sides are almost the same, and the weapons and ammunition seized on the battlefield can be used directly, but the uniformity of the equipment caliber has been initially achieved...

As a matter of course, the weapons and equipment advantages of the trial legion have been greatly flattened now. With the difficult-to-imitate artillery and more advanced Mauser rifles, the reserve ammunition in the trial legion has long been exhausted, leaving only a few samples for self-imitation According to research, there are no more powerful breech-loading guns with super fast firing rate on the battlefield.

Therefore, the two sides have been brought to the same level in terms of weapons and equipment.

War is the best catalyst for military technology, especially in a country like the British Empire that has completed the first industrial revolution and has a complete industrial system, the speed of counterfeiting weapons is quite fast.

It's a pity that although the level of weapons and equipment of the two sides has been evened out, except for Yuan Shikai who first rushed to the streets, the remaining three warlords have been completely overpowered, and the war in the past six months has over [-]% of the British Isles. white ground.

Especially in the rural areas during the war, even British soldiers would collect supplies on the spot when they passed by, and they still collected according to the law with documents issued by the government.

If you can't give it, you can do it yourself...

No way, the war caused the British government to lose Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Even more than half of the mainland of England suffered military disasters, and agricultural production in the war-torn zone was almost completely stagnant.

Those farmers were either forced to become bandits and robbers, or they were simply recruited by the British government or the Beiyang warlords as cannon fodder and civilian husbands...

In the defense of London, the British government can explode hundreds of thousands of troops, not because of the strength of the local army, but because of the reckless Latin men!

Even the British government's own people are doing this, let alone those northern warlords and the banditry caused by the war?

If this war continues for a few more months until winter, a rare food shortage will inevitably break out in the British Isles, and it is not surprising that people will eat people.

The destructive power of the Beiyang warlords was too ruthless, and the three generals of the Beiyang warlords didn't regard the white British people as their compatriots at all, and they had no bottom line!
Even Duan Qirui, who has the best military discipline, has a comfort camp composed of a large group of British women.

Trial soldiers don't need this thing to improve morale, but recruited white servants do.

As for Zhang Xun's troops with the worst military discipline, they have even openly rewarded and traded white women as goods, and the flesh business has become one of Zhang Xun's sources of income!

In Ireland, apart from a few cities controlled by Zhang Xun’s troops, other places are often burned, killed and looted by Zhang Xun’s troops. The men are young men, the women are used as goods and cash cows, and the elderly and children are burned alive on the spot to save food. ...

It was Zhang Xun's Qing Empire's behavior that caused the British rule in Ireland to collapse long ago, but many Irish guerrillas and revolutionary resistance forces emerged, fighting against Zhang Xun's Qing Empire under the banner of the Irish nation Yong...

As a result, Zhang Xun's troops fell into the ocean of people's war in Ireland...

On the island of Ireland, Zhang Xun's Qing Empire basically controlled cities and important transportation hubs, and the Irish armed revolutionary organization controlled vast rural towns.

Zhang Xun's Qing army went out to raid surrounding villages and towns from time to time, completely treating them as food supply areas...

It can be said that among the British Isles, Ireland has been the hardest hit.

The ruthless Zhang Xun also blew up all the arsenals that were not under his control, leaving only a few heavily guarded arsenals, even if he sacrificed military production capacity for this.

It was Zhang Xun's method that caused the Irish Revolutionary Organization to always be in a state of shortage of firearms. Even flintlock guns were regarded as treasures. One can imagine how much it would cost to fight against Zhang Xun's braided Qing army. deficit……

But even so, Zhang Xun will not be able to send troops to other places for a while. Although the Irish Armed Revolutionary Organization has been defeated repeatedly, they are like locusts and cannot be killed. Even if Zhang Xun's Qing army has adopted the "three lights" Policy, the mountainous environment of the Irish region has kept the Irish alive.

Of course, there is also a large part of the reason for the low morale of the braided white puppet army under Zhang Xun's control.

The environment under Zhang Zuolin's command can be slightly stronger, but under the connivance of the British government and the spread of national ideas, a large-scale Scottish national independence uprising still broke out in Scotland.
