Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1100
[Chapter 1100]
“Kill them!”
“Yes, kill them, for Britain!”
“For the Westlands.”
“…”
Muffol’s analysis made the other naval officers of the coalition army excited, and they all shouted.
Especially the officers of the British Navy.
The capital of their British domination of the world is their Armada.
For hundreds of years, the Navy has been the pride of the British people.
But in just a few short years, a fleet they stationed in Dongtu was defeated in the waters of Dongying.
Last year, their coalition navy suffered another heavy blow in the East Turkish Navy.
To them it was a disgrace to the British Navy.
However, these two failures only made them cautious, but did not make them lose confidence in defeating the Dasong Navy.
Because, they believed that the first two failures were because they underestimated the enemy.
But it’s different now, their second support obviously paid attention to the opponent Da Song.
This allowed them to gather nearly 500 warships in Tianzhu.
And this is unprecedented. .
No country in the West would have thought that so many warships would be deployed in the East one day.
After all, for them, the center of the world is the West, and the East is never worth their trouble.
“Ready for battle!” the officer shouted, and Malfoy exchanged glances with leading naval officers from other countries.
After the other officers agreed with his plan, he gave the order.
Under Malfoy’s order, the captains of various countries left one after another.
Not long after, the entire Calcutta port seemed to be alive.
Western soldiers in various uniforms came out of the barracks.
They either returned to their battleships to check the performance of the battleships.
Or transport some supplies to the battleship.
But compared to the Great Song Navy, they were more cautious during this time.
Therefore, all battleships are ready to go into battle at any time, and there are not many things that need to be added.
in the evening.
The coalition fleet sailed to the deep sea according to Malfoy’s order, leaving only a small number of warships to lure the enemy.
at the same time.
The Dasong Navy led by Zhou Yi has reached the waters three hundred miles away from the port of Calcutta, and it only takes five hours to reach Calcutta.
Looking at the red iron-like sunset that was about to disappear on the horizon, Zhou Yi looked in the direction of Calcutta.
In order to give the Western Land Fleet sufficient preparation time, he did not rush to Calcutta.
According to his judgment, there should have been scout ships passing on their movements to the naval officers of the coalition forces by now.
He is looking forward to what strategy the West Turk Navy officers will adopt to deal with them next.
At the same time, he was full of fighting spirit and confidence.
As their emperor said, in the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and schemes are nothing but mirrors.
After another night of sailing, the fleet arrived in the waters of Calcutta.
At this time, the sun has not yet appeared on the eastern sea, but it is just white.
Dimly, soldiers on the watchtower of the battleship observed the foggy Calcutta harbor.
And there are a little dim lights in the fog, like hundreds of warships gathered.
The news was sent to Zhou Yi, who immediately boarded the watchtower himself.
In order to avoid exposing the ironclad ships, the twelve ironclad ships have been wrapped in the center by other warships.
From the battleship, he couldn’t observe the periphery at all.
After looking at the watchtower for a while, Zhou Yi sneered.
There are often clouds of fog at sea, which is normal.
So it is normal for the port to be foggy.
The picture in front of them makes anyone think that there are a large number of warships gathered in the port.
Especially outside the port, several sailing warships can be clearly seen half hidden in the fog.
This is all the more believable.
It’s just that the opponent’s scout ship must have brought the information back.
Knowing that they were coming, the other party also gathered a large number of warships in the port.
This makes people have to doubt.
In Zhou Yi’s view, there is only one possibility right now, and that is that the port is just a cover-up for the Western natives.
The real main force of the Western Earth Fleet is not there.
“No, this trick is so easy to be exposed, the other party should be able to figure it out.” Another thought suddenly flashed in Zhou Yi’s mind.
He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a faint alarm bell coming from the direction of the port.
Not long after, the coalition warships in the mist moved.
Battleships came towards them in the shape of a herringbone, from one to two to thirty…
“So that’s the case, but I’m just too anxious, and it’s easy to reveal my intentions.” Seeing this, Zhou Yi suddenly had a glimmer of understanding, Sneered.
There is no doubt that whether it is the port’s cover-up or the attack this time.
The opponent has only one purpose, and that is to drag them to the port.
“General, General Gong asked if you want to fight.” At this time, Song Xiang asked.
He was originally the captain of the flagship Jinghai. After the ironclad ship was launched, he was transferred to the Jinling, where he still served as Zhou Yi’s adjutant during the war.
When Zhou Yi was observing the port, he noticed that the watchtower of Gong Ying’s warship was playing semaphore.
“This idiot, let him go.” Zhou Yi said lightly when he heard this.
Song Xiang said in surprise, “General, this is a plot by the natives of the West. Wouldn’t it be a trick to go up and fight?”
He also guessed that this was a plot of the natives of the West.
“This is called playing tricks. Aren’t we here to fight a decisive battle? If they don’t fall for the trick, how can their main force show up?” Zhou Yi said.
Although he analyzed it for a while, he didn’t care if it was a trick or not.
It’s not a trick, he wants to fight.
It’s a trick, he wants to fight too!
“The general understands.” Song Xiang nodded, and immediately ordered the bannerman to pass on Zhou Yi’s order.
After a while,
twelve steamships towed twelve sailing warships away.
The remaining warships still surround the ironclad ship.
Under Zhou Yi’s gaze, twelve pairs of Dasong battleships rushed straight to Xitu’s sailing warships.
After entering the range, the battleship Dasong chose to open fire.
“Boom boom boom…”
A sound of artillery fire spread across the battlefield like rolling thunder.
Just like the naval battle in the east of Yizhou, the sailing warships of Xitu still looked very clumsy against Da Song’s sailing warships.
What’s more, these Westland sailing warships are not towed by steam ships at all, which makes them even more clumsy.
As soon as the artillery battle started, one of the other sailing warships was sunk.
From Zhou Yi’s point of view, it must be that the Xitu generals transferred all the steamships away.
From this, it can be judged that the port is more likely to be a trap.
When the warships of the two sides were fighting, the sun in the east was getting higher and higher, and the vision became clearer and clearer.
The sunlight pierced through the smog, making fishing boats invisible in the light smog.
Zhou Yi and Song Xiang observed this scene and shook their heads at the same time.
At this moment, the alarm bell of a large battleship located in the rear rang loudly.
The two hurriedly looked to the rear of the fleet, and saw first a large sail appeared on the horizon in the distance, and then the hulls of many warships were exposed.
They are under attack!
