“retreat!”
Wesley hesitated before giving the final order.
“Yes, General.” The officers answered simply.
They were eager to evacuate the first trench fortifications as soon as possible.
Before building this fortification, they never expected that Dasong’s army would be so terrifying.
Just treat them as an army on the same level as them, or at least a little higher.
But when the war started, their illusions were instantly torn apart and they fell into reality.
It’s just that the muskets and artillery of this army are superior to theirs.
According to the soldiers who escaped after the charge, Dasong soldiers were all well-trained.
Not only is he not afraid of death, his fighting skills are also very superb.
Even with bayonets, they didn’t get the advantage.
This was also the reason why Dasong’s army launched a counterattack and they were quickly defeated.
Overall, the enemies they faced had no obvious shortcomings.
“Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!”
After receiving the order, the officers squatted in the trench and asked the soldiers to evacuate.
As if they had been granted amnesty, the coalition soldiers stood up and evacuated backward along the longitudinal corridor of the trench.
Their movements were quickly observed.
Qinshan and Guantong almost made the same decision at this time, which was to pursue the victory.
“Dudududu…” The clear voice of the Charge resounded throughout the battlefield.
“Kill!” The soldiers who heard the trumpet charged forward.
For a time, the densely packed Dasong troops rushed towards the coalition trenches.
Among them, the Qinglong Army is on the front and the Suzaku Army is on the side.
Dasong’s army suddenly launched a charge, and the coalition soldiers preparing to evacuate became even more panicked.
The coalition soldiers ran south one by one, for fear of falling behind others.
They didn’t care about the boxes of ammunition in the trenches, just holding on to their rifles.
The artillerymen had no time to pull away the field artillery, so they simply dropped the artillery and fled with the other soldiers.
The entire trench fortification was in a mess.
However, Wesley had anticipated that there might be chaos in the evacuation, so he left five thousand soldiers on the flanks and front to take charge of breaking up the rear.
He was well aware that if this was not done, an orderly evacuation would truly turn into a rout.
But just like all his previous tactics, they would be discounted in front of Dasong’s army.
The same is true for this retreat.
The combat effectiveness shown by Dasong’s army surprised Wesley again.
During the charge, the Dasong soldiers seemed to have received some kind of blessing.
They moved flexibly and cooperated with each other tacitly, dodging and moving in the area between the trenches on both sides under the fire of the company soldiers.
At the same time, they continued to advance without fear of casualties.
Under such a high-intensity charge, the firepower of the coalition soldiers seemed insufficient.
There is simply no way to effectively block its offensive momentum.
The most terrible thing is that loading their rifled guns is very troublesome.
Every time the soldiers finished shooting, they had to put their muskets up to reload, which wasted a lot of time and made the already insufficient firepower even worse.
On the contrary, Dasong soldiers were very neat when reloading.
This allows them to effectively suppress coalition soldiers and weaken their firepower when charging.
“Admiral, if you don’t leave, it will be too late.” While Wesley was observing, an officer grabbed his arm.
Wesley said “Hey” heavily and turned around.
The five thousand soldiers he left behind were destined not to survive, and even this retreat would become an indelible stain on his military history.
“Boom boom boom…”, “Boom boom boom…”
Sure enough, he walked less than a hundred meters when he suddenly heard the explosion of the opponent’s grenade.
This is when Dasong’s army reached the allied trenches.
Without looking back, Wesley shook his teeth and continued towards the second fortification.
Just when he walked four hundred meters, he couldn’t help but look back.
At this time, the coalition soldiers who were responsible for the rear were completely defeated and fled out of the trench one after another. Dasong soldiers in green military uniforms chased after them and kept shooting the coalition soldiers.
“Hahaha, it’s like a cat chasing a mouse.” The evacuation process of the coalition soldiers did not escape the eyes of Zhao Xu and Zhou Yi.
Seeing that the Western-Turkish coalition forces were in a very embarrassed state, Zhou Yi couldn’t help laughing.
Zhao Xu had a smile on his lips and felt refreshed in his heart.
This time, he finally let out a bad breath.
Since the civil strife in Dasong, these Westerners have been lingering around and constantly causing trouble for him.
Now, he defeated one after another the scapegoats that the Westerners pushed to the front, and finally faced them head-on.
How could he be worthy of the soldiers and people who died in the war if he didn’t beat them and didn’t even know their parents?
“Humph, it’s not that easy for them to escape.” Zhao Xu said.
Before the war, he learned that the Western-Turkish Allied Forces had established two fortifications.
The second fortification is on the edge of the port in the strait. This is to facilitate their defeat and safe evacuation of Malacca.
However, the loss of the first line of fortifications by the coalition forces meant that their forts on both sides of the strait were exposed to Dasong’s army.
As long as these forts are captured, the Grand Song fleet can safely sail into the strait.
As for the number of forts near the port fortifications, they are limited.
By then, even if he tried his best to sink a few warships, he would still prevent the coalition forces from withdrawing to Tianzhu.
Having made up his mind, he said to Zhou Yi, “We are no longer needed here. Next, prepare to destroy the navy of the Western Turks.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Zhou Yi realized something and looked excited.
He was not willing to just play a supporting role in this war.
If he hadn’t been worried about the threat the forts on both sides of the strait would pose to the fleet, he would have led the fleet into the strait and annihilated the Western-Turkish fleet hiding in the strait.
Therefore, if the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army can successfully remove the forts on one side of the strait, they will have nothing to worry about.
While the two were talking, a reconnaissance ship responsible for relaying battlefield conditions came back.
The captain of the reconnaissance ship boarded the deck and said to Zhao Xu, “Your Highness, General Pan Chang has launched a general offensive. The Western Turks army cannot support it and is fleeing towards the strait.”
“Thanks to Captain Pan, we didn’t disgrace the Marine Corps.” Zhou Yi chuckled twice.
Zhao Xu nodded and briefly asked about the process.
Compared with Qin Shan, Pan Chang obviously adopted different tactics.
After the artillery and fleet bombarded the enemy’s positions, he immediately launched a charge.
If the charge didn’t go well, he would have his soldiers pull back and continue the bombardment.
But this time he will focus on bombing areas where the enemy’s counterattack is strong, and then charge again.
After doing this three times, he tore open the enemy’s defense line and entered the trench position of the Western-Turkish Allied Forces, forcing them to choose to retreat.
“Thanks to Frank, he raised the white flag the fastest.” Zhao Xu glanced at his mouth.
It stands to reason that even if the defense line is breached, you will continue to fight for a while.
But his general immediately chose to retreat, which was obviously related to his command style.
As far as he knew, the person guarding the fortifications on the south side was a Frankish general.
This makes some sense.
Of course, he was just mocking, and the result cannot be inferred from this.
But in fact, the Frank general apparently collapsed mentally during the sharp offensive of the Marines.
