Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1032

[Chapter 1032 Chapter 1048 Channel]

“Boom!” While the

coalition forces were planning to retreat, soldiers sent by the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army were already pulling out the forts on the side of the strait.

Every time a fort within ten miles was pulled out, they lit a bonfire to provide a signal to the navy.

Due to the loss of the shelter of a line of defense, the coalition battery is very vulnerable.

Some artillery and limited rifles could not stop the attack of Dasong soldiers at all.

Even if it hides in the concrete fort, it is often dealt with by grenades.

After the forts fell one by one, Zhao Xu, who saw the flames rising, nodded to Zhou Yi.

At this time, the entire fleet slowly moved towards the strait.

Zhao Xu and Zhou Yi’s flagship Jinghai is located in the middle of the fleet, protected by other warships.

“Your Highness, sea battles are dangerous. Compared with staying on a battleship, it is safer to stay on land.” Zhou Yi persuaded again after the fleet traveled several miles.

Before, he had persuaded him several times, but Zhao Xu refused them all.

Seeing Zhou Yi’s mother-in-law, Zhao Xu rolled his eyes, “This is not dangerous. It was much more dangerous than this when the king personally led the troops into Jinzhou to fight Xiliang.

” Danger, you are the pillar of Da Song now.” Zhou Yi laughed.

Both he and Liu Fu used to be servants of the palace, and they were promoted by Zhao Xu to be what they are today.

Follow Zhao Xu to witness Da Song’s changes day by day.

To Zhao Xu, they valued it more than their own lives.

“Your intention is appreciated by me, but I have built such a mighty warship for you, if you can still put me in danger in a sea battle, it proves that you are all useless, I might as well die. Zhao Xu glared at Zhou Yi.

“Hey…” Zhou Yi blushed, and then gave a heavy military salute, “Your Highness just sit and drink tea on the deck. His Highness hurt a finger, and the general will jump into the sea to feed the fish.”

After that, he moved people Lai put the chair on the deck and made another pot of tea for Zhao Xu.

Only then did Zhao Xu nodded in satisfaction, sat on the chair, drank tea leisurely, and looked at both sides of the strait at the same time.

The Strait of Malacca is actually a very wide strait.

But with such a wide strait, only the channel on the Singapore side of the east entrance is most suitable for passage.

This is because other places not only have shallow water, but also have many hidden reefs.

Now, the location of the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army is Malai, and the location of the Marine Corps is Singapore Island.

The waterway is located between Malai and Singapore.

After the fleet entered the channel, as the distance shortened, he saw the group of forts guarding the entrance of the channel.

But at this moment, the soldiers of Dasong had already occupied the place and were waving flags to signal to the fleet.

Seeing this, the naval soldiers on the battleship saluted the army soldiers on the shore one after another, and the army soldiers also returned the military salute.

The fleet continued to sail deeper, and after a certain distance, they saw a group of occupied forts.

Zhou Yi couldn’t help but sigh.

If the army hadn’t captured these forts, they would have suffered a great loss in fighting the Western Turk Navy in the waterway.

As the fleet continued to penetrate, the field artillery of the Azure Dragon Army and the Suzaku Army arrived at the camp.

At this time, Qin Shan and Guan Tong had discovered signs that the Western natives were retreating.

Just because he was concerned about the bombardment of the opponent’s battleship group, he just stood still.

But when the field guns arrived, he couldn’t bear it anymore.

The range of their field guns is not inferior to that of the opponent’s battleship guns.

“It’s not that easy to retreat under our noses, so hit me hard.” Qin Shan said angrily.

The artillery was ordered to immediately deploy artillery positions.

The artillery of the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army gathered together and launched an artillery attack on the port.

At this moment, they were about eight miles from the port.

And their field guns have a range of ten miles, which is completely within their range.

Although it is already at the limit of the range, the effect will be relatively poor, but it can also cause trouble for the Western-Turkish Allied Forces.

“Boom boom boom…” Not long after, howitzers and rifled guns roared, and shells flew towards the warships moored in the port.

At this time, Wesley was organizing soldiers to board the ship, and when he heard the sound of the guns, his heart skipped a beat.

He knew that this was the arrival of Da Song’s artillery.

“Board! Hurry up!” Wesley shouted standing on the deck of a battleship.

After deliberation, all countries made choices, and they took away the core generals and the most elite troops.

This is already to minimize the loss.

Wesley’s yelling made the soldiers’ movements quicken, and they all ran to board the battleship.

But after just a few breaths, Da Song’s cannonballs dropped from the sky with a sharp whistling.

“Boom boom boom…” shells exploded in the port.

The shells fell, and the supply wooden boxes piled up in the port were blown up and burned.

The soldiers who boarded the ship were swept up by the air waves and fell to the ground, their lives and deaths unknown.

There are also shells falling into the water, blasting waves more than ten meters high.

“Wesley, hurry up.” Marfour and Wesley were on the same battleship.

As soon as the shells fell, they rushed out of the cabin.

The movement of Da Song’s army was too fast. Even among the soldiers who were about to evacuate, most of them did not board the ship.

Although he wanted to evacuate now, on balance, he thought it was worth taking more soldiers with him at the risk of sinking several battleships.

Therefore, he just urged, and did not leave behind the army that followed the navy.

Otherwise, their evacuation would be meaningless.

“We’ve tried our best.” Wesley said anxiously.

He was thinking about whether to go down to urge supervision, when suddenly a battleship not far from him was hit by a shell, and thick smoke rose from the explosion.

Soldiers on that ship had to disembark and board other ships.

After the battleship was hit, the speed at which soldiers boarded the ship was significantly accelerated.

Obviously, if they don’t withdraw soon, there will be fewer and fewer battleships available.

Another half an hour passed, and the last 5,000 soldiers had not boarded the ship.

At this time, a steamship from Westland came from the east and brought back news that made Marfour frightened.

The Dasong fleet is less than twenty miles away from the port.

“We must set sail now!” After receiving the news, Marfour immediately found Wesley.

At the speed of the Great Song Fleet, the sailing battleship towed by its steamer can arrive in less than 20 minutes.

“Hey!” Wesley sighed heavily when he heard the words, and he naturally understood what it meant.

If they don’t leave, they really won’t be able to leave.

Nodding, he ordered the officer to put away the rope ladder for boarding.

The rope ladders of the warships were put away, and the coalition soldiers who were about to land suddenly panicked.

Their formation immediately became chaotic, and the soldiers kept beating the hull, yelling to reassure the marine soldiers on the rope ladder.

But no one paid any attention to them, only the honking of the steamer’s whistle.

This is to tell them that the fleet is ready to evacuate.
