Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1030

[Chapter 1030]

“Retreat!”

Wesley hesitated again and again, and gave the final order.

“Yes, Admiral.” The officers answered very simply.

They can’t wait to evacuate the first trench fortification as soon as possible.

Before building this fortification, they never expected that the Dasong army would be so terrifying.

Just think of them as an army of the same level as them, at most slightly higher.

But the start of the war instantly tore up their illusions and made them fall into reality.

It’s just that the muskets and artillery of the Great Praise Army are superior to them.

According to the reactions of the soldiers who escaped after the charge, all the Dasong soldiers were well-trained.

Not only are they brave and fearless, but their fighting skills are also very superb.

Even in the bayonet fight, they didn’t take advantage.

This is also the reason why Da Song’s army launched a counterattack and they were quickly defeated.

Overall, the enemies they faced had no obvious weaknesses.

“Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!” After

receiving the order, the officers dwarfed and shuttled through the trench, asking the soldiers to evacuate.

The soldiers of the coalition army stood up and retreated along the longitudinal corridor of the trench one after another, as if they had received an amnesty.

Their actions were quickly observed.

Qin Shan and Guan Tong almost made the same decision at this time, which is to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

“Beep beep…” The clear voice of the charge resounded across the battlefield.

“Kill!” The soldiers who heard the trumpets charged forward one after another.

For a moment, the densely packed Dasong army rushed to the trench of the coalition army.

Among them, the Azure Dragon Army is on the front, and the Suzaku Army is on the side.

Da Song’s army suddenly launched a charge, and the coalition soldiers who were about to evacuate became even more flustered.

The coalition soldiers ran south one by one, for fear of falling behind others.

They didn’t care about the crates of ammunition in the trenches, just clutching their rifled guns.

The artillerymen didn’t have time to pull away the field artillery, so they simply dropped the artillery and fled with other soldiers.

The entire trench fortification was a mess.

However, Wesley had anticipated that the evacuation might be chaotic, so he specially left 5,000 soldiers on the flanks and front to take charge of the rear.

He is well aware that if this is not done, an orderly evacuation will truly turn into a rout.

But just like all his previous tactics will be discounted in front of the Great Song army.

The same goes for this retreat.

The fighting power shown by the Great Song army made Wesley surprised again.

The Dasong soldiers seemed to have received some kind of blessing during the charge.

They moved flexibly and cooperated with each other tacitly, dodging and moving in the area between the trenches on both sides against the shooting of the soldiers of the company.

At the same time, they went forward one after another without fear of casualties.

Under such a high-intensity charge, the firepower of the coalition soldiers seemed insufficient.

It is impossible to effectively stop its offensive momentum.

Worst of all, their rifled guns were troublesome to reload.

Every time the soldiers finished shooting, they had to erect their muskets to reload, which took a lot of time and made the already insufficient firepower even worse.

On the contrary, Da Song soldiers were very agile when reloading.

This allows them to effectively suppress coalition soldiers and weaken their firepower when they charge.

“General, if you don’t leave, it will be too late.” When Wesley was observing, an officer grabbed his arm.

Wesley let out a heavy “hey” and turned away.

The 5,000 soldiers he left behind are doomed to fail to survive, and even this retreat will become an indelible stain on his military history.

“Bah bah bah…”, “Boom boom boom…”

Sure enough, within a hundred meters, he heard the explosion of the opponent’s grenade.

This is when the Dasong army reached the trench of the coalition army.

Without looking back, Wesley shook his teeth and continued towards the second fortification.

Just when he walked four hundred meters, he couldn’t help but look back again.

At this time, the coalition soldiers in charge of breaking the rear were completely defeated and fled out of the trench one after another, while the Dasong soldiers in green uniforms followed closely behind, shooting and killing the coalition soldiers.

“Hahaha, it’s really like a cat chasing a mouse.” Zhao Xu and Zhou Yi did not escape the coalition soldiers’ evacuation process.

Seeing that the Western Land Allied Forces were in a panic, Zhou Yi couldn’t help laughing.

There was a smile on the corner of Zhao Xu’s mouth, and his heart was refreshed.

Now, he finally let out a bad breath.

Since the civil strife in Dasong, these Western natives have been haunting him, constantly causing trouble for him.

Now, he defeated one after another the scapegoats pushed forward by the Western natives, and finally confronted them head-on.

How could he be worthy of the soldiers and civilians who died in the war if he didn’t know his parents who didn’t beat them?

“Hmph, it’s not so easy for them to escape.” Zhao Xu said.

Before the war, he learned that the Western Turkmenistan Allied Forces had built two fortifications.

The second fortification is on the edge of the port in the strait. This is to facilitate their defeat and evacuate Malacca safely.

But the loss of the first fortification by the coalition forces meant that their forts on both sides of the strait were exposed to the Dasong army.

As long as these forts are captured, the Dasong fleet can safely sail into the strait.

As for the number of forts near the port fortifications are limited.

At that time, even if he tried his best to sink a few warships, he would prevent the coalition forces from withdrawing to Tianzhu.

Having made up his mind, he said to Zhou Yi, “We are no longer needed here, and we are going to destroy the navy of the Western Turks next.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Zhou Yi realized something, and his expression became excited.

He is not willing to only play a supporting role in this war.

If he hadn’t worried that the forts on both sides of the strait would pose a threat to the fleet, he would have led the fleet into the strait long ago and wiped out the Xitu fleet hidden in the strait.

Therefore, if the Azure Dragon Army and the Suzaku Army can successfully pull out the fort on the side of the strait, they will have nothing to worry about.

While the two were talking, a reconnaissance ship responsible for relaying the situation on the battlefield returned.

The captain of the reconnaissance ship boarded the deck and said to Zhao Xu, “Your Highness, General Pan Chang has launched a general attack. The Western Turk Army can’t hold on and is fleeing towards the strait.

” Hehe laughed twice.

Zhao Xu nodded and briefly asked about the process.

Compared with Qin Shan, Pan Chang obviously adopted a different tactic.

After the artillery and fleet bombarded the enemy’s position, he immediately launched a charge.

If the charge did not go well, he would have the soldiers withdraw and continue the bombardment.

But this time he will focus on bombing areas where the enemy’s counterattack is strong, and then charge again.

Going back and forth like this three times, he tore through the opening of the enemy’s defense line, entered the trench position of the Western Land Alliance Army, and forced them to choose to retreat.

“Fortunately, it’s Frank, who raises the white flag the fastest.” Zhao Xu glanced at his mouth.

It stands to reason that even if the line of defense is breached, you should continue to fight for a while.

But its generals immediately chose to retreat, which is obviously related to their command style.

As far as he knew, it was a Frankish general who was guarding the fortifications on the south side.

This makes some sense.

Of course, he was just mocking, and he couldn’t deduce the result from this.

But in fact, the Frankish Admiral was clearly devastated by the Marine Corps’ sharp offensive.
