After Li He's troops captured the supplies of the French army, they were temporarily out of trouble.
But their marching destination is still a long way away.
At this time, General Li's Long Yan Army fell under his scheme.
Those refugees had obtained cold weapons and attacked the French troops at the port.
Although the refugees captured several French positions that were not important.
However, they were still intercepted by the French troops. The refugee army, which had no command and only wanted to plunder, encountered the regular French troops and was quickly defeated.
However, this strategy consolidated Long Yan's army's defense in Sydney City and solved the food crisis in Sydney City.
But the consequence of this is that these refugees no longer trust Xie Fang's government.
A large part of them immigrated here, originally for Australia's free trade and Long Yanjun's leasing, as well as dual citizenship.
For them, Xie Fang's government has no sense of belonging, so they don't have much affection for them.
As for the local residents, their lives were even worse. Xie Fang's government was still a monarchy.
These local residents who are engaged in farming are even more disgusted with Xie Fang's government.
So it doesn't matter if they believe in Xie Fang's government or not.
The key thing is the Longyan people themselves. Australia is the place they conquered, and there is absolutely no way they will give it to the French army.
This is absolutely impossible.
After Drew learned that the refugees were fighting against them, his nose almost became crooked with anger.
Originally this strategy was used by him to trap the city of Sydney and weaken their power, but now it has turned into these refugees starting to rob their territory.
This forced Drew to send troops to suppress it.
Although he won, it also caused him a lot of losses.
Several small towns inhabited by French people were destroyed, and this was the industrial area they established.
A long time ago, they were planning to attack Australia.
This industrial area can be quickly converted into their logistics supplies.
However, this industrial area has been damaged due to refugees, and it will take a certain amount of time to repair it.
This will cause tension on the front line.
For them, this is not good news.
General Li took this opportunity to quickly build a fortress on the outskirts of Sydney, which is close to the coastline.
It is a vast flat land with no danger to defend.
They needed these fortresses and forts to protect the city of Sydney, not only because of the last siege.
General Li must turn the area around Sydney into an agricultural planting area to achieve self-sufficiency to avoid being besieged and attacked by the French army again.
After experiencing this battle, the number of refugees dropped significantly, and the remaining refugees were absorbed into the city by General Li and participated in the construction.
And now they are relying on such a corroded Dragon Flame Army to fight, and they are destined to be swept away by the French army. They must build an army that is not corroded and can still fight.
In the past, the recruitment expansion of the Long Yan Army was dispatched from Long Yan, but now the Australian Long Yan Army is independent.
Long Yan will never allow a military leasing policy to exist.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Xie Fang's team is now self-sufficient and can only recruit soldiers among the Longyan people who have immigrated to Australia.
But in the current situation, if we only recruit soldiers from among the Longyan people.
Most of the Longyan people who immigrated to Australia came to Australia because they couldn't survive in Longyan.
But there are very few such people, and the system has not been reformed.
Therefore, the current Long Yan Army is still dominated by the veterans from before, and there has been no new blood added for a long time.
