Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1098

[Chapter 1098]

“Boom boom boom…” The

artillery bombardment and airship bombardment continued.

At night, Guan Tong immediately organized a night attack.

Like the previous night battles, the soldiers in charge of the night attack used the night to sneak to the trenches of the coalition forces.

In order to reduce casualties during the shelling, the soldiers in charge of the night attack were far apart, and the skirmish lines were sparse.

Everything was ready, and a flare suddenly flew into the air, illuminating the trenches of the Western Turks.

Since they had seen Da Song’s flares in Malacca before, the coalition soldiers at this moment were not as frightened as they were when they first saw them.

The soldiers who had never seen it before were also surprised by what other soldiers told them, but they were not greatly affected.

But there is one thing, they are very clear.

Once the Dasong army fired flares, it was ready to attack at night.

Immediately, gunshots and explosions from the front of the trench confirmed their guess.

The officers in the trench immediately went to Harriman’s tent to ask whether the field guns should be used.

“Counterattack immediately, use all available things, including artillery! Same as last time, don’t expose everything.” Harriman shouted. .

Wesley didn’t object either.

Because they were all unsure whether Da Song’s army was probing or really attacking.

If it is a real attack, if they linger, the Dasong army will quickly occupy their trenches.

Their rifled guns are at a disadvantage in the trenches against Da Song’s breech-loading guns.

What’s more, they also have muskets capable of continuous shooting.

But if Da Song’s army was a temptation, they would be fooled if they were all exposed.

Therefore, they will make decisions based on the battlefield situation.

After receiving the order, the officer immediately returned to the trench.

Not long after, some howitzers launched a bombardment to the front.

However, just after they fired a shell, their artillery was covered by artillery fire from Da Song.

After a while, Da Song’s army suddenly withdrew.

Harriman and Wesley gritted their teeth in hatred.

Obviously, they suffered again.

The next day was another day of shelling and aerial bombardment.

Night is still a night attack.

Qin Shan has always been rigorous. Considering that the opposing general hid the artillery from the beginning, he will definitely not expose all the artillery at once.

So I decided to keep trying.

“The scale of the attack is bigger this time, let’s play wolf with them.” Qin Shan ordered Guan Tong.

In his opinion, if the scale of the attack was still the same as last night, the opponent would definitely not take it seriously.

In this way, there is no need for them to use artillery.

Therefore, he wants to fight Ye Xie like the real thing every time.

Until the opponent believes that no matter how large the attack they launch, it is a feint.

At that time, when their artillery is almost cleared, they will be able to use the paralysis of the Western Land Allied Forces to launch a real night attack.

So, in the next ten days or so.

They used normal shelling during the day, and cooperated with airships to bomb the trenches of the coalition forces to wipe out their vital forces.

Night is the place to lure the coalition forces into exposing artillery and secret fortifications.

Use the airship’s ability to observe the battlefield at a glance, send back battlefield information, and then use artillery to destroy it.

…

and when the army was fighting in full swing.

Telegrams sent from Rangoon also reached the Straits of Malacca.

At this time, the admirals and soldiers were enjoying a vacation-like life near the naval station in Singapore.

When they got the telegram, Zhou Yi, Gong Ying and other generals were rushing to the sea.

In addition to teaching them how to navigate the sea and operate warships, King Yan also taught them to identify fish and shellfish in the sea.

They know what can and cannot be eaten.

This knowledge also spread among fishermen.

Today’s Da Song fishermen go out to sea to catch more seafood.

These seafood are sold to restaurants all over Dasong, making the fishermen’s lives gradually richer.

Of course, there is a reason why they are so relaxed.

Now all the forts on both sides of Malacca are under the control of the Da Song army.

The artillery inside was also replaced with Dasong’s rifled guns.

Not to mention the fleet of the Western Turkmenistan Allied Forces, even their fleet is unable to pass through the strait targeted by the artillery of the fort.

“Hahaha, wait during the day, wait at night, and finally wait for the emperor’s order.” Zhou Yi couldn’t help laughing after receiving the telegram.

Then he shouted to Gong Ying, who was thirty meters away from him, “Enough, enough, eat enough tonight, and go out to fight tomorrow.”

“War?” Gong Ying put a washbasin-sized Scylla stuffed it into the barrel, thinking she had heard wrong, and asked again.

Seeing Zhou Yi nodding, he came towards Zhou Yi with a big wooden bucket.

After reading the telegram, he laughed like Zhou Yi.

This leisurely day is certainly comfortable, but they hope to destroy the fleet of the Western Turks immediately.

The longer the navy grows, the less they can tolerate the rampant navies of other countries on their own territory.

Not only that, but they are full of ambitions for the entire ocean.

Looking at the iron-clad ship parked in the port like a steel giant, Gong Ying couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.

After waiting for so long, they finally won the opportunity to end the maritime hegemony of the Western Lands.

After this battle, the entire ocean will be the backyard of the Dasong Navy.
