Become a feudal king from today

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery bombardment and airship bombardment continued.

At night, Guan Tong immediately organized a night attack.

As in previous night battles, the soldiers responsible for the night attack used the darkness to sneak up to the Allied trenches.

In order to reduce casualties during the shelling, the soldiers responsible for the night attack were spaced far apart and the skirmish lines were sparse.

When everything was ready, a flare suddenly flew into the air, illuminating the trenches of the Western-Turkish Allied Forces.

Since they had seen Da Song's flares in Malacca before, the coalition soldiers at this moment were no longer as frightened as when they first saw them.

Soldiers who had never seen it before were also surprised by the stories of other soldiers, but they were not greatly affected. .

But there is one thing they know very well.

Once the Dasong army launches flares, it will prepare for a night attack.

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

The officers in the trench immediately went to Harriman's tent to request permission to use the field guns.

"Counterattack immediately, use all available tools, including artillery! Just like last time, don't expose everything." Harriman shouted.

Wesley didn't object.

Because they were all unsure whether Dasong's army was testing or actually attacking.

If it was a real attack, if they dilly-dallyed, Dasong's army would soon occupy their trenches.

Their rifled guns were at a disadvantage when shooting against Da Song's breech-loading guns in the trenches.

What's more, they also have muskets that can fire continuously.

But if the Dasong army was a temptation, they would all be exposed and deceived.

Therefore, they will make decisions based on battlefield conditions.

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 single shell, their artillery came under fire from the Grand Song.

After a while, Dasong's army suddenly withdrew.

Harriman and Wesley gnashed their teeth in hatred.

Obviously, they suffered again.

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

Night raids are still happening at night.

Qin Shan has always been rigorous. Considering that the opponent's general had hidden the artillery from the beginning, he would definitely not expose all the artillery at once.

So I decided to keep testing.

"If the scale of this attack is larger, we will play a crying wolf game with them." Qin Shan ordered Guan Tong.

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

In this way, they would not need to use artillery.

Therefore, he wants to make the night raid look real every time.

Until the opponent believes that no matter how large-scale an attack they launch, it will be a feint.

At that time, when their artillery clearing is almost complete, they can take advantage of the paralysis of the Western-Turkish coalition forces to launch a real night attack.

So, in the next ten days or so.

During the day, they carried out normal bombardment, and cooperated with airships to bombard the coalition trenches to eliminate their effective forces.

Night was used to lure the coalition forces to expose the positions of artillery and secret fortifications.

Use the airship's unobstructed observation ability of the battlefield to send battlefield intelligence back, and then use artillery to destroy it.

…

And when the army's war was in full swing.

Telegrams sent from Rangoon also reached the Malacca Strait.

At this time, the naval admirals and soldiers were living 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 seaside.

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

They know what can and cannot be eaten.

This knowledge also spread among fishermen.

As a result, today's fishermen in Dasong go out to sea to catch more seafood.

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

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

Now the forts on both sides of Malacca are all controlled by Dasong's army.

The artillery inside was also replaced by Dasong's rifled cannon.

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

"Hahaha, I waited during the day and at night, and finally I got 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, "That's enough, that's enough. Eat enough tonight, and we'll go out to fight tomorrow."

"There's a war?" Gong Ying stuffed a blue crab as big as a basin into a wooden bucket. Thinking that he heard wrong, he asked again.

Seeing Zhou Yi nod, he came towards Zhou Yi carrying a big wooden bucket.

After reading the telegram, he laughed like Zhou Yi.

Although these leisurely days are comfortable, they hope to destroy the Western Turks' fleet immediately.

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

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

Looking at the armored ship parked in the port, which looked like a giant steel beast, 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 Territory.

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