The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 277
It has to be said that the national uprising in Scotland saved the life of the British government. Otherwise, if Zhang Zuolin and Duan Qirui attacked in two ways, the exhausted British government would definitely end in failure.

Now Zhang Zuolin is busy suppressing the Scottish uprising, so he has no time to go south to invade England.

Only Duan Qirui and the British government are left in England.

It's a pity that even if the two sides evened out the disadvantages of weapons and equipment, the British Red Shirt Army went through a series of battles, and the elite were exhausted. Queen Victoria's guards had to protect the center and could not escape.

So the British army became synonymous with recruits and mobs.

Duan Qirui, on the other hand, attaches great importance to the combat capability of the army. He not only breaks up the soldiers of the trial line under his command and mixes them with white soldiers to control the entire army, but also implements a 997 drill system for white soldiers.

997 refers to non-stop practice from morning to night, seven days a week without any rest day...

Duan Qirui also pulled out some of his direct-line trial soldiers to form a professional supervisory team, and implemented a strict military law system.

In addition, the white soldiers in the field troops were given military merits, and all the recruits were white civilians with small families, and their loyalty was guaranteed to a certain extent.

Because these white soldiers knew that the land acquired by their family came entirely from the Beiyang government established by Duan Qirui. Once the Beiyang government collapsed, their family's land would be confiscated and liquidated.

Therefore, for the sake of their family and property, they had to work hard for Duan Qirui!

In fact, Zhang Zuolin also used this trick, but the national fighting ideas in the Scottish Highlands are very tyrannical, and the idea of ​​national independence spreads.

Relatively speaking, the English civilians who regard the land as their lifeblood are easier to buy.

At the beginning of the 15th year of the Era of Sauron, the British Isles finally came to a crossroads again after more than half a year of war.

Duan Qirui personally led more than 5 main forces of the Beiyang Army to the outskirts of London.

At this moment, the rebuilding work of the City of London is not complete...

However, this ruined city has become the last insistence of the British government. Whether it is Duan Qirui or the British regime headed by Queen Victoria, they all know it well.

Now the glory of the British Empire in the mainland has long been torn apart, and the myth of the British Empire's invincibility has been trampled underfoot by Yuri's summoned army, and it will never be bleached...

Half a year of war has made the British people understand that subjugation is not impossible!
Those white traitors who have fallen into the arms of the Beiyang warlords are living examples!
You know, it is no longer the soldiers who are fighting the British army, but the white soldiers drawn by the Beiyang warlords!

The capital of London has become the last signboard of the British government in the mainland. If this signboard falls again, even the Brits with national sentiments will have to admit a reality-the British mainland has fallen!
As for the desperate resistance and guerrilla fighting, it is too luxurious for the British people.

They are different from Scots and Irish, which have been guided by national independence organizations for a long time. The English have too many retreats.

The United Kingdom also has two major vassals, the Duchy of Brittany and the Kingdom of France, on the European continent. The British are first-class citizens there, so why bother to fight the powerful invaders at home?
Are the Brits really not afraid of death?
In addition to the European vassal states that are close at hand, Britain also has the crown of India, where the British are no longer first-class citizens, but first-class lords!

In the Indian Empire, even Brahmins and Kshatriyas looked at the British.

In addition to these two good places, the British still have a large number of British colonies to go to.

Of course, this is only limited to the English nation. Due to the long-term ethnic inequality policy implemented by the British Empire in this world, the Scots, Irish, and Welsh cannot obtain the same status as the English.

The same goes for the colonies!
Unless it is a colony that is in urgent need of pioneers and has not been fully developed.

Therefore, for political needs, the capital of London must be defended!

This time, Queen Victoria once again became the most beautiful cub in the UK. She held high the banner of British nationalism and led (actually did not go to the front line) the Queen's Guards as the main force in the defense of London.

In addition, the British government also searched and dispatched troops in all controlled areas as much as possible, and even the town where Yuri was located received a transfer order from the London government.

Of course, due to Duan Qirui's military pressure, the London government only sent messengers instead of armed troops.

In this regard, Yuri naturally ignored it...

However, in order to still be able to use the status of the British Earl, Yuri organized a group of young refugees to transfer to the London area.

Let alone weapons for these refugees, even the problem of food needs to be solved by the London government.

However, the London government is also unscrupulous, as long as it is not an old man who can't walk or a child who can't carry a gun, he will accept it.

The problem of food is nothing in the eyes of the London government. The British government has collected a lot of food for the defense of London.

What's more, based on the previous example of fighting against the Beiyang warlords, these refugee cannon fodder will not survive for long...

The popularity of grenades and breech-loading guns has made life extremely cheap in wars, especially for recruits who have not undergone long-term professional training, and are easily harvested by grenades and bullets.

In the British army, such undertrained recruits accounted for the majority.

The British government wants to replicate the battle of defeating Yuan Shikai again, and consume Duan Qirui little by little with his life.

Soon, the forward troops of both sides began to exchange fire. The British army deployed tens of thousands of troops in the field fortifications on the outskirts of London, and all the trenches were filled with people.

As a result, the resistance lasted only one day, and the defense lines on the outskirts of London were breached...

The only effect of the large amount of British cannon fodder is that Duan Qirui suddenly accepted more prisoners of war than his combat troops!
Then, Duan Qirui had to face a serious problem. Even with the lowest standard of food supply, it was difficult for his military rations to support these prisoners of war for too long.

You know, the area around London today has been scraped to the sky by the British government, and there is no food to be found...

The Duan Qirui Beiyang government's logistics transportation relies on manpower and animal power. Even if the distance is not far, it is very difficult to support an army of 5. After all, logistics is also responsible for ammunition supplies, and it cannot just transport food.

So Duan Qirui issued an order that caused him to fail.

Kill tens of thousands of British prisoners of war and bury them alive!
