Iron Dynasty

Blah blah blah...

Intensive gunshots sounded in the city of Xinjiapo, and the quiet late night was wrapped in blood and fire.

Feileon, who thought the victory was in his hands, quickly got bad news. They lost half of their troops in the three-hour battle. The soldiers equipped with Downton muskets only achieved excellent results at the beginning, and then fell into a passive state. middle.

What the hell is going on here? Why did the counterattack go smoothly at first, but now it is losing ground. Feileon questioned his lieutenant Groot.

Sorry, Governor, I... I can't explain clearly, these soldiers from the Great Yu Kingdom are not shooting at us at all, but are using skirmish lines to deal with us. Their muskets seem to be able to shoot in any position, and the soldiers also There's no front-loading like we do, they seem to be loading the bullets from the back of the gun butt. Groot was stunned, and is still a little dazed.

Ferleon's lungs almost exploded, Are you making excuses for your incompetence? No army would use such a stupid tactics, and no musket would be loaded from the back of the butt, which is not the same as the way people use their mouths. Eat, not eat with your butt.

But...but it's true! Groot's voice dropped.

The more angry Fei Leon became, he pushed Groot away, Now I will meet these soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom to see if they are as powerful as you said.

With a group of soldiers, Feileon quickly arrived at the battle site.

Under the fierce attack of the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom, the soldiers of the Red Shirt Army kept retreating, and now they are not far from the Governor's Palace.

Governor, the soldiers can't hold on anymore. The firepower of the other party is too fierce, and the firearms are more advanced than ours. Our tactics are useless to them, and they also have a weapon that will explode when thrown. We lost a lot of soldiers. An officer saw Ferrero coming and reported immediately.

Fei Leon's expression suddenly became solemn, and he looked into the firelight.

Because of the fighting, the city of Xinjiapo was now full of fire, and in his vision, the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom were moving flexibly in the fire.

The shooting methods of these soldiers are indeed different. It seems that they can shoot in any position, and the bullets are indeed loaded from the back of the gun butt.

Governor, now you should believe our words. Groot noticed Feileon's shock, and timely proved that he was not wrong.

A bead of sweat appeared on Fei Leon's forehead, and he admitted that this time he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom.

Despite the bravery of his soldiers, it was a fact of life to be down in this battle.

Order the entire army to retreat! Fei Leon gritted his teeth and said, and if they continued, they would only destroy the entire army.

Upon receiving the order, the officers of the Red Shirts immediately ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the South Gate to the harbour, where they still had five warships anchored, which was enough for them to flee to India.

The withdrawal of the red shirts was soon discovered by Liu Chen, because the firepower on the opposite side was obviously weakening. Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the Marine Corps to continue to expand the results.

Yu Yongliang, lead your people to chase, these red-haired ghosts must want to evacuate from the sea, and they cannot be satisfied. Liu Chen said loudly.

Yu Yong nodded, greeted his men and rushed towards Nancheng. At the same time, Liu Chen asked the trumpeter to sound the charge.

The soldiers rushed towards Nancheng in the loud and clear assault horn. In just an hour, they completely controlled the city of Xinjiapo.

At this time, Yue Yun sent someone to order the warships in the Johor Strait to cooperate with the Marine Corps in encircling and suppressing the remaining Red Shirts, and he was a mercenary trained by the British in charge of encircling and suppressing the city.

When they were in Bohol, they saw Spanish mercenaries.

In fact, when occupying colonies, European countries often lacked the strength to fight against the local indigenous people for a long time. After all, their colonies were all over the world, and they could only spread their limited military strength.

In this way, training mercenaries in the local area has become a means for them. When they attacked the Spanish royal city, they captured more than 8,000 mercenaries, and these mercenaries came from the local indigenous people.

Similarly, in order to control India, the British also trained a large number of mercenaries in India, and it was precisely because of the existence of these mercenaries that they were able to successfully defeat their Indian states.

In the city of Singapore, there are many Indian mercenaries hired by the British. These people are dark-skinned and wear earth-colored military uniforms, but their equipment is very poor.

Compared with the strict discipline of British soldiers, these mercenaries were significantly looser. Under the attack of the Marines, these mercenaries quickly chose to surrender after finding that the British had escaped.

About two thousand mercenaries dropped their muskets and chose to be prisoners.

While the city was subdued, Liu Chen had already reached the fort, and the soldiers led by Yu Yongliang before him had successfully captured the fort.

The British, eager to escape, did not care about the loss of the fort, but their negligence made a fatal mistake.

The soldiers of the Yu Kingdom who occupied the fort skillfully manipulated their artillery to shoot at the British warships in the sea.

The three warships fled to the sea in a hurry.

Win, win... The soldiers cheered loudly. At this time, a hint of fish-mammed white appeared on the horizon, and dawn had come.

Liu Chen's tense face finally showed a smile. The Marine Corps' mission was completed. They finally conquered the city of Xinjiapo in one night, including the capture of the fort and the seaport.

The warm sea breeze blows, and Liu Chen, who is immersed in joy, looks down at the strait in front of him from a height.

On the opposite side of the harbour are islands, which act like barriers blocking the passage from Malacca.

It has to be said that the eyes of the British are very precise. The wide strait opposite Singapore is indeed the only channel for merchant ships and warships to enter and exit.

It is possible to make a fortune just by levying berthing fees on merchant ships passing through this place.

While he was thinking about it, Yu Yongliang came over and said, There are three more ships that have escaped, what should I do?

Our warships are not decorations. As soon as his voice fell, ten hybrid warships sailed out from the south side of the strait.

Three British warships were on their way.

Boom boom boom...

The battleships of the Great Yu Kingdom, which had already been prepared, started first. Using steam power, the ten battleships quickly aimed their sideways at the British battleships that wanted to escape.

Amid the roar of artillery fire, the three British warships became fireballs burning in the sea one after another, and the British soldiers on board jumped into the sea one after another, and British soldiers were everywhere in the blue water.

Hey, this is your fate. If you guys hadn't supported the Merchant Council, we wouldn't have sacrificed so many soldiers. Liu Chen said fiercely.

Although he still won this time, he knew that the price he paid was not light.
