Become a feudal king from today

"General, the French warships are trying to escape. Read"

At the port of Marka City, the two warships turned around and headed south, and the flagship captain Gong Ying immediately shouted.

He frowned, and after the translator sent by the Francois returned, there was no movement.

Now, the two warships have chosen to escape again.

This operation made him a little confused, but after thinking about it for a while, he figured out the key.

The Franji warships escaped just because General Franji did not have the confidence to defeat them at sea, and fled just to preserve their strength.

As soon as the warship left, they could successfully board Yizhou and attack Marka City.

He believed this, and Franco General Ding also took it into consideration.

Then there was only one reason why he chose to do this, and that was that he was confident that he could withstand their attack in Marka City.

"Don't they know the power of Yanzhou's firearms?" Zhou Yi put a question mark in his mind.

In other words, they think that their anger is better than Yanzhou's.

Shaking his head, Zhou Yi decided to let the Marines land first and then adapt accordingly according to the battlefield situation.

Under his order, the troop transport sailed to the port of Marka City.

Marines successfully disembarked from the troop carrier.

Then, field guns and mortars were hung from the battleship.

When all the soldiers came ashore, he said to Captain Pan Chang of the Marine Corps: "This battle will be left to you."

"Yes, General." Pan Chang responded.

Immediately, he arrived at the shore in a small boat,

Originally, he was Bai Shang's deputy general and was responsible for training the Marine Corps.

After the training was completed, he was originally going to return to the palace to join the army, but Zhou Yi targeted him during the Dasong Northern Expedition.

So he asked King Yan for help and left him in the Marine Corps.

After boarding the port of Marka City, Pan Changlik rectified his soldiers and ordered them to march to Marka City in marching formation.

Although you can see a red walled bastion standing on the ground from the port in the distance.

But there are more than ten miles of road from the port to this bastion.

There are farmlands on both sides of the road leading to the city of Marka.

To their surprise, rice seedlings grew on these farmlands, whereas in cold Yanzhou, wheat was grown on the land.

In the village at the end of the farmland, the people of Dasong could be vaguely seen looking this way, and then disappeared like rabbits.

Along the way, they encountered no resistance, and they stopped about 1,500 meters away from Marka City.

Picking up the telescope, Pan Chang looked towards Marka City.

At this moment, the walls of Marka City were filled with soldiers, and thirty artillery pieces were pointed at them.

"I didn't expect that one day it would be our turn to attack the bastion. After observing for a while, Pan Chang smiled bitterly.

The huge bastion in Marka City was similar to the Yanguan outer wall they had seen. He understood the power of this kind of bastion.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw an amazing scene.

The gate of Marka City opened, and a group of French soldiers lined up and walked out.

These Frankie soldiers wore uniform blue military uniforms. This kind of clothing was completely different from the Dasong clothing, but similar to the bunts worn by the common people.

They also wore sailboat-like hats on their heads.

After leaving the city, Franji soldiers lined up in front of the city gate. Immediately, eighteen more field guns were pushed out and continued to advance with the team.

Seeing this scene, Pan Chang was not only not nervous, but actually a little excited.

He followed Bai Shang on the battlefield. After experiencing large and small battles, he was experienced in hundreds of battles on the battlefield.

Naturally, I didn’t feel nervous at all.

Furthermore, the gunpowder used by their Marines this time was reportedly yellow gunpowder that had just been produced in Yancheng.

Before setting off, they tested the power of these yellow gunpowders.

Just as the data provided by the Department of War, their rifled guns can now effectively kill the enemy within 350 meters, and stray bullets can also damage the enemy within 600 meters beyond the effective range.

At the same time, the power of both artillery and mortars has been greatly improved.

"You are really looking for death." Pan Chang sneered and immediately asked the Marines to change their formation according to the formation of the Franco soldiers.

In more than ten minutes, the Marines, like Franco soldiers, formed a large horizontal formation three hundred meters wide, with three lines in each formation.

There are eight such horizontal formations, advancing staggeredly.

At the top of Marka City, Steven looked at the advancing Yanzhou soldiers and whistled, "The hunting time has come."

Although I was surprised by these Yanwang soldiers, they were holding flintlock guns with bayonets and field artillery that was almost the same as them.

But he is still confident that he can defeat these Eastern natives.

Because he believed that the firearms of the West would not lose to the indigenous people of the East.

In his opinion, the muskets used by these Yan soldiers were at most similar to the Western firearms imitated by the Japanese.

The flintlock guns they used were made with exquisite craftsmanship, and were by no means comparable to the crude products made by the hands of indigenous Japanese craftsmen.

Their hard steel barrels allow their barrels to hold more gunpowder, and their mirror-smooth barrels allow bullets to be fired without any hindrance.

All this gave their flintlocks an effective range of one hundred and fifty meters.

This is basically the limit of the Western flintlock gun.

If you want to improve again, you can only replace the yellow gunpowder that was born in the West.

But because such flintlock guns were enough to deal with the eastern natives, Franco's army did not ration this more powerful gunpowder to them.

Even so, as the army considered, he believed that it would be enough.

This time, he would beat the Yan Wang army into a pulp.

With a smug smile on his face, Steven was ready to observe a massacre of Yanzhou soldiers.

On the battlefield, as the two armies got closer and closer, Pan Chang immediately dispatched 600 soldiers to form skirmishers and dispersed forward to attack.

This was their brand new tactic.

Facing the Western Land army for the first time, he naturally had to use it to test the power of this tactic.

And the main tasks he gave to the skirmishers were to harass the French soldiers in front and to attack the French artillery.

No matter how far the range of the musket is, it is not as far as the artillery. The two armies advanced in dense formations, and the French artillery could still pose a threat to the soldiers of the royal palace.

After receiving the order, the skirmishers were like a handful of sand being scattered on the ground, dotted all over the battlefield.

They were in groups of three, distributed in front of the queue.

When they were close to 350 meters, these skirmishers raised their rifles and aimed at the French soldiers.

"Bang, bang, bang..." There was no thick white smoke on the battlefield.

Only a slight blue smoke rose, but it did not affect the vision.

When using yellow gunpowder, they were told that one difference between yellow gunpowder and black gunpowder is that yellow gunpowder is smokeless gunpowder.

In this way, they would not be blocked by thick smoke on the battlefield, affecting their shooting.

As the gunshots rang out, the marching Portuguese soldiers suddenly fell down sporadically.

Seeing this scene, the Portuguese generals who followed the team were immediately surprised.

But without Steven's order, they could only move forward.
