Old General Li, who was still on the road, felt the screams of soldiers coming from a place no more than 500 meters away from them. He was slightly startled and took out his binoculars to look over, and his expression changed drastically.
The French troops so close to them were hit by a cannonball.
If it was not his own troops who attacked them, it could only be... General Li looked at the Longyan supply ship that was heading here.
I saw him firing cannonballs again and again, accurately hitting the surrounding French soldiers. The French soldiers who were bombarded fled quickly.
General Li was so quiet that he was in a daze, and his troops also stayed where they were and did not continue to move.
During this bombardment, they felt that their actions were meaningless.
If they even attack rashly, they are likely to encounter friendly fire!
The defensive measures deployed by France on the port here have been completely destroyed by the gunfire of the Long Yan Army's supply ship.
And after that, a period of silence passed.
General Li looked up and saw the roaring whistle, and the huge Longyan ship arrived at its loyal port as if it was the return of the king.
Zuo Zhizhong rushed off the supply ship with more than 2,000 Longyan soldiers.
When he saw Old General Li wearing a worn marshal's uniform, his eyes were slightly startled.
According to Long Yan's hierarchy, he should have saluted General Li, but he was in Australia now.
Xie Fang adopted the same soldier system as Long Yan, and maybe Xie Fang was awarded the title of general. After thinking of this, Zuo Zhizhong wanted to salute General Li.
He walked over and said calmly: "Here are the Long Yan Army, the 125th Navy, and the captain of the Shenwei ship! I have been ordered by Mr. Liu Zheng, the chief assistant of Long Yan, to come to assist Australia! Who are you?"
Old General Li cupped his hands and said, "See, General, I no longer have the military position of Long Yan. I only have the name Bo and Li Wei."
When he heard this name, Zuo Zhizhong felt like Mount Tai was pressing down on him, so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
He has always been familiar with this name since he was a child.
Ever since I was a child, I have understood how important this name is.
Old General Li had already resigned before Liu Zheng became rich, but he left Long Yan with a reputation for a lifetime!
General Li once led his army to resist the Xiongnu in the north and attack the barbarians in the south!
Having maintained the stability of Longyan's border for more than 20 years, I had long heard that there was a very powerful person in Australia who was retiring here. I didn't expect that it would be General Li!
Zuo Zhizhong immediately stood up in military posture, clasped his hands and said respectfully: "Old General Li, just call me Xiao Zuo."
Old General Li touched his beard and said: "It's better to match your official position, General Zuo."
"Okay, General Li."
Zuo Zhizhong squeezed the sweat from his palms, looked at the troops brought out by General Li, and then realized that these people were not from Longyan.
But what he was wearing was a military uniform similar to Long Yan.
Zuo Zhizhong frowned. According to the regulations of the Longyan Army, outsiders cannot join the Longyan Army, and outsiders cannot wear Longyan military uniforms!
"General, what is this?"
General Li looked at the troops behind him and said, "This is the army I formed. I call it Long'ao Army."
Zuo Zhizhong asked in confusion: "General, why don't we use the Longyan Army instead of reorganizing the army?"
"When General Qin left Australia, didn't he leave behind enough Longyan troops?"
