The horizontal four-cylinder reciprocating steam engine, plus ten large circular boilers, a full 16 knots of speed, and a new pointed-boat model made of the latest alloy steel.

The two new warships, Tang He and Deng Yu, jumped out of Liverpool Port like Godzilla monsters. Several British Navy warships docked in Liverpool Port were knocked over before they could react.

These British naval officers and soldiers were also stunned. When did they see such a large iron-clad ship, and they ran to the shore without any orders.

Fortunately, the navy on the shore was able to support it and rushed to the fort and prepared to use artillery to counterattack.

On this side, the artillery of the Tang He and Deng Yu had been released first and were directly bombarded on the attachments of these turrets. Due to the influence of sea breeze and the low accuracy of the far-range shooting (there were no precisely guided missiles in this era) the artillery of the two fleets could not completely hit all the turrets on the shore, but also caused great damage to these turrets on the shore.

Thousands of pounds of cannons rolled into the black sea with their broken limbs, while the cannons under the rolling black smoke on the Ming Dynasty warships were still spraying flames and bombing Liverpool's seaside buildings.

The Royal Navy of England collapsed directly and escaped from the combat area. After a round of artillery attacks, Tang Hehe and Deng Yu successfully arrived at the port of Liverpool and continued to shell the port of Liverpool.

In an instant, countless Gothic buildings fell down and turned into gravel. Many Liverpool residents ran away frantically, but countless English were still killed by bombing.

Liverpool's English officials have also fled Liverpool first. In their opinion, the Royal Army has evacuated with such a violent shelling, so there is no need for them to die here again.

However, at this time, the Ming Dynasty only used two fleets.

"Sir Li, bring your people with you to occupy Liverpool. Let's take a few days off here and see how English is reacting. If we still refuse to give in, we will play a little bigger!"

After Heiwa said that, Li Dingguo nodded: "Don't worry, these Westerners don't know what's in their crotch. When they heard that our cannons ran faster than their turtle grandson, they thought it would be difficult for Liverpool to occupy it."

Not long after Li Dingguo said that, Heiwa ordered the transport ship to dock, and Li Dingguo and his elite army troops quickly got ashore.

After several months of marine adaptive training, this brigade of Li Dingguo did not have any unsuitable symptoms after a long-distance ocean voyage. Instead, he rushed into Liverpool City with great confidence.

Because Liverpool is a military center, there are many defenders, but its combat effectiveness is obviously much weaker than Li Dingguo's domestic factory brigade.

Seeing that firearms were shot in these ruined buildings in Liverpool, after several soldiers were injured, Li Dingguo quickly ordered to rely on some buildings as bunkers, and picked up small Ming versions of mortars, using the parabolic principle to blow up the enemy's firepower to concentrate and destroy them.

At the same time, Li Dingguo rushed over with his people. The main weapon in their hands had already been replaced with a rifle, with a fast firing speed and a fast frequency, which almost made the British defenders who were still resisting could not raise their heads.

Within half a quarter of an hour, the defenders raised the white flag.

Li Dingguo's domestic factory brigade successfully occupied Liverpool.

...

On this side, when Cromwell was torturing Wang Guangting with a soldering iron, his guards broke in and told him that a large fleet was coming to Liverpool.

After hearing this, Cromwell was shocked. He thought it was Florence or the Netherlands who came to attack his British Empire. He had sent a large number of spies and ships to monitor the movements of these two countries, but he did not expect that the fleets of these two countries or one of them would suddenly come to Liverpool.

Cromwell didn't care about interrogating Wang Guangting and Cao Shiwen, and rushed towards Liverpool without stopping.

However, just when he left the outskirts of London, he learned that Liverpool had fallen and it was confirmed that it was a group of Ming troops who occupied Liverpool.

This made Cromwell refresh his prediction again. He never expected that the Ming army would suddenly appear and occupy an important town in his British Empire in a flash.

Cromwell hurriedly stabilized himself and calmly asked about the specific situation. When he knew that the Ming army had only more than 6,000 people, he couldn't help but feel relieved and hurried back to London to meet Charles I in order to get Charles I's will to assemble heavy troops to wipe out the Ming army.

Charles I also learned about the war in Liverpool, and like Cromwell, he was not scared. In recent days, Charles I couldn't help but slapped the table angrily: "A mere six thousand people dare to attack my dynasty. Cromwell, I order you to immediately command the army of the whole country and make sure to wipe out this invading enemy within one month, so that they can all understand that how can I come to the land of Great Britain just come!"

After being granted the military authority of Charles I, Cromwell was just as voluntary as his smoking ban. He soon mobilized 30,000 heavy troops to come to Liverpool in the hope of regaining Liverpool and fighting against the Ming Dynasty's internal factory brigade.

Here, the Jinyiwei had already informed Li Dingguo of the news in advance. After Li Dingguo learned the news, he did not defend Liverpool City.

According to his understanding, he brought his people from the inner factory to attack England and Geely, not to capture the territory and occupy it for a long time, but to demonstrate the prestige of the Ming Dynasty and protect the opium trade. Therefore, Li Dingguo felt that it was better to destroy his vital forces and reduce his national military strength than to restore the opium trade in the present day.

Therefore, Li Dingguo did not care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool. He immediately left Liverpool City after replenishing supplies on the third day of occupying Liverpool, and continued to attack other cities in England under the leadership of the Jinyiwei.

The countries of Europa have always been good at naval warfare and shorter than land warfare. The scale of land warfare is not large, and most of them are still in a simple situation where the two armies set up their formation to fight. It is not as good as the army troops like the Ming Dynasty that have accumulated military ideas for thousands of years and especially the accumulation of tough battles. In addition to the superiority of weapons, Zhu Youxiao's military reforms and military combat have been more frequent for more than ten years. Therefore, even if the British army makes any progress, it will only be passively beaten.

What's more, what Li Dingguo is playing now is the strategy of using my strengths to fight against each other's shortcomings, and using tough battles to occupy towns and towns to exhaust you, but he will not fight against your phalanx on the plains until you are tired.

Within three days, Warrington, a major British town, was occupied by Li Dingguo's domestic factory brigade!

Then, two more days later, Widnis was occupied again!

Cromwell had to take his army to redirect him to recover Widnes, but Li Dingguo suddenly headed north and occupied the important city of Manchester in just half a day.

Then comes Matlock!

Then there is Stoke!

But suddenly it was a derby again!

Just as Cromwell was exhausted, news came from Birmingham, an important town second only to London, that it was occupied by the Ming army.
Chapter completed!
