Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1027

[Chapter 1027 Erosion]

“Your Highness, this must be enough for Wesley.” On

the flagship of the Jinghai, Zhao Xu and Zhou Yi were observing the coalition fortifications on the north side.

According to the plan, he and Zhou Yi were responsible for the bombardment on the north side, while Gong Ying commanded the remaining half of the warships to be in charge of the south side.

At this moment, on Zhao Xu’s telescope, the coalition fortifications on the north side were engulfed in a sea of flames.

This is the result of the continuous explosion of more than 2,000 shells.

“Of course, it’s hard to say whether they can survive the shelling.” Zhao Xu put away the binoculars and snorted softly.

For three hundred years, the natives of the West have been domineering in the world with strong ships and guns, and they can beat anyone they want.

Not only did they occupy land after land and colonize it, they also created massacre after massacre.

In their eyes, except for the Western natives, other natives are inferior human beings.

But now the feng shui is turning, under his leadership, Da Song avoided the tragic experience of the Central Plains dynasty in contemporary history.

Although it is still unable to surpass Xitu in terms of industrial scale, it has steadily suppressed them in terms of advancement.

And the advancement of industry has allowed them to surpass the natives in artillery.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will be interspersed with tactics, and if you are rich, you will be covered by artillery fire.

For him, if ten shells can prevent the death of a large soldier, it is definitely a worthwhile deal.

Therefore, in this war against the natives, his tactical purpose was to give full play to the advantages of guns and artillery, and he did not need to sacrifice human lives.

“He can survive the first round, but he can’t survive the second or third round.” Zhou Yi smiled evilly when he heard this.

They carried enough ammunition, even if it was enough to blow up the fortifications of the Western Turkmenistan Army.

“Boom boom boom…” As he spoke, the fleet launched a second round of shelling, and the coast was once again covered in flames.

Next came the third round, the fourth round…

and while the northern side launched shelling, the southern fleet also started shelling.

Under Gong Ying’s order, the coalition fortifications on the shore were also covered by dense shells and exploded into a hornet’s nest.

at the same time.

Compared with Zhao Xu and others’ ease and ease, Wesley and other Western Army officers were as miserable as coptis.

The Western soldiers in the coastal fortifications suffered heavy casualties under rounds of shelling. One after another corpses were carried out of the trenches, and the casualties reached 40% in an instant.

Under such intensive artillery fire, the Western soldiers in the trench fortifications along the coast could not bear it at all.

Officers had to temporarily withdraw soldiers from the fortifications to the inside.

“Admiral, we have 5,000 dead and 8,000 wounded, and some soldiers can’t even find their bones.”

“Admiral, we have destroyed twelve field rifled guns and nineteen howitzers. Thirty percent of the loss.”

“…” The

shelling continued, and the officers of the Western Turks kept sending bad news, which made Wesley want to kill people.

When the Dasong fleet approached, he realized the danger, so he and the officers evacuated the command post urgently.

Even so, some of the officers at the command post died in the shelling.

If an officer hadn’t thrown him down, he would have died at this moment.

“Go and tell Marfour to let his damn navy go out to fight immediately. If the fortifications on both sides of the strait can’t be defended, can they hold the strait?” Wesley was furious.

If the Great Song Fleet is not dealt with, their right flank will be in danger.

The Dasong fleet emptied their coastal fortifications. If he was the general of the Dasong army, he would definitely take the opportunity to seize the right-wing coastal fortifications.

In doing so, their flanks would be completely exposed and their fortifications would be pointless.

“But…” The officer beside Wesley hesitated.

Right now, there are only 80 sailing warships and 22 steamships left in the coalition fleet.

And Ma Fuer made it clear that one big sail warship is enough to deal with six warships of the Western Turkmenistan Alliance Army.

This means that if the coalition navy goes to war, it will be tantamount to annihilation of the entire army.

“No, but, we must not lose Malacca like this, nor can we lose so easily.” Knowing what the officer wanted to say, Wesley shouted immediately.

“But, Admiral, if the navy is finished, we really can’t go back.” The officer still did not obey Wesley’s order and continued to argue.

The other officers also looked at Wesley with worried expressions.

For countries that have no interests in the Eastern Land, such as the Yiluo Kingdom and the Oli Kingdom.

Their attitudes towards this war are naturally different.

Of course they would be happy if they could take advantage of Britain and Frank.

But let them come to die, they are not willing.

Wesley became even more furious when he heard the words, but when he wanted to curse, he suddenly couldn’t say a word.

Yes, the navy is their last straw.

If they can’t hold Malacca, they have to rely on the navy to withdraw them back to Tianzhu.

So throwing the Navy into a losing war is just plain crazy.

Calming down, he gave up on the idea of letting the navy strike.

Looking at the shells constantly exploding on the fortifications, he said to the officer, “Go back and tell the soldiers to prepare to charge. Instead of staying in the trench and waiting to die, it is better to launch an attack and let the Dasong people see the bravery of our Western natives!”
