Iron Dynasty

As the torches swayed brightly, Yue Yun looked at the map intently.

Now the name of the area they are going to occupy is called Lion City in Malay. It used to belong to the Sultanate of Malacca. Thirty years ago, the British came here and occupied this place and controlled the throat of the Asian route. At the same time, they gave This place has a new name, called Sing Jiapo, also known as Star City or Star State.

General, the Strait of Johor has been blocked by us, and it has become an isolated island, ready to attack at any time. Liu Chen said.

In the north of Singapore, there is a strait that runs through. This strait completely separates Johor from Singapore. Strictly speaking, this Singapore is an independent island in the sea. Before the attack, they analyzed Singapore in detail. The situation, I learned some news from the Chinese here.

After comprehensive consideration, they decided to land on the southern shore of the Johor Strait and hit the Singapor Strait from south to north to completely control it, because it may be out of self-confidence in the country of Johor that the British set up the shore on the Johor side. There are very few anti-guns.

Attack, take this place before dawn.

Yue Yun said coldly, in order to control this important waterway, they had crossed nearly 2,000 kilometers and suffered enough at sea.

Yes, General. Liu Chen responded.

Following his order, the soldiers of the Marine Corps rushed towards the city of Xinjiapo in the center of the island.

Similar to the Great Yu Kingdom, the dynasties around Nanyang also used cities as settlements. The environment here is primitive and there are many miasma, poisonous insects and beasts. Scattering is a very dangerous behavior.

It is also because of this feature that the colonists can easily loot and control the land here.

Boom boom boom...

The cannon roared, and the Marine Corps' field artillery made a deafening and terrifying sound in the dark night, followed by bright sparks on the city walls of Xinjiapo City.

Under the fierce bombardment of artillery, the gate of Xinjiapo City was first blown open, and the soldiers of the Dayu Kingdom took the opportunity to rush in.

What surprised them was that the defense against the enemy was too loose in this city of Xinjiapo, and it seemed that they did not think it would be attacked at all.

Governor's Palace, Singapore.

Ferleon suddenly woke up from the bed, looking at the firelight outside the window, his head and feet were suddenly cold.

What's the matter? Did the French call? Ferien asked himself in his heart, and then he shook his head to deny the possibility.

The combined fleet has just been established, the French will not launch a sneak attack, after all now France and Britain have the same interests in Asia.

Searching for possible enemies at high speed in his mind, Ferion put on his clothes and went outside the Governor's Palace.

Because of the huge movement, the city is now in chaos, and the soldiers are running out of the barracks to gather.

Governor Fei Leon, the enemy is coming from the north, and I have mobilized soldiers to deal with it. A British officer saluted Fei Leon.

Who is the enemy? Ferien asked anxiously.

I'm afraid, they are soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom, because each of them has black hair and yellow skin, and only they have such abilities in Asia. The officer said solemnly.

Damn, when we were going to kill them, I didn't expect that they were going to kill us too! Feileon was furious. Originally, the defenses of Xinjiapo City would not be so weak. After all, they were still wary of France before.

But the union with France gave them complete peace of mind and great relaxation, and this omission was fatal enough tonight.

How many are they? Ferlion asked again.

I don't know, but one thing is certain is that there are more than us. We have only 4,000 troops here. The officer worried.

Fei Leon squinted his eyes, It is true, but we have two thousand soldiers equipped with Downton muskets, let them go!

Yes, Governor. The officer turned to leave.

The Downton muskets that Ferreon mentioned are new-style muskets shipped from England. These muskets use steam engines to make rifling and conical bullets in the manufacturing process.

The combination of the two advantages has greatly improved the range, power, and accuracy of this rifle. After equipping this musket, he has already experimented with its effects, and they are very satisfied.

Ta Tata...

Not long after the officer disappeared, a series of neat footsteps came. The red shirts carrying Downton muskets trotted towards the city gate. After a while, the sound of dense gunfire rang out in the city, followed by the sound of counterattacks belonging to the red shirts. .

Feileon was only relieved at this time. For him, the Red Shirts had excellent combat effectiveness, and the Downton musket would be even more invincible.

He was confident that this army of the Great Yu country, which had gone from nowhere, would soon be wiped out, just as they had defeated other countries in Europe.

North City.

The unprepared Marines were caught off guard by the Red Shirts armed with Downton muskets, and the frontal assault soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

It's a cone bullet!

With a dignified expression, Liu Chen picked up a bullet that had hit the wall and fell. The appearance of this bullet was not much different from the warheads loaded in their cardboard bullets.

Oops, it seems that the British are already partially equipped with rifled rifles similar to expropriation rifles. Yu Yongliang followed Liu Chen to protect him.

Liu Chen nodded solemnly. They knew the performance of this kind of rifle very well. It can be said that this kind of rifle can't shoot in any position except for its slow reloading speed. The difference in power, accuracy, and range with the current Falcon rifle is not too big.

In the match shot within 300 meters, they have the advantage, but the advantage will not show a one-sided crush.

Have the soldiers stop the frontal charge, use the obstacles to shoot, the skirmish line to dash forward, and pay attention to taking tactical actions to avoid danger.

Liu Chen decisively ordered a strategy suitable for the Falcon Rifle. Since the Falcon Rifle was equipped, tactical actions against the use of this breech gun appeared in their training subjects.

Crawling forward, kneeling shooting, prone shooting, these are all shooting positions adapted to the emergence of breech rifles, and using these shooting positions, they will have an advantage in war.

Yu Yongliang replied yes, and immediately took his soldiers to shuttle between the buildings, while conveying Liu Chen's orders one by one.

At the same time, in the process of moving, they began to engage with the red shirts.

Because it was in the city, the Red Shirts could not start a large column, so they scattered the soldiers and confronted them in groups of fifty.

Knowing the weapons the Red Shirts are using now, they are naturally not stupid enough to fight recklessly. Using obstacles and gaps, they shoot in the direction of the Red Shirts from time to time.

Some soldiers saw the arrival of a team of red shirts, and directly looked for obstacles and lay on the ground to shoot at the red shirts, which made the red shirts who were accustomed to lining up to be shot in chaos for a while.

The balance of war is tilting in their favor again.
