Become a feudal king from today - #1110 - Chapter 1121 Military Morality
“you……”
Tianzhu’s climate is as hot as fire, and even the sea breeze is spicy.
However, the statements of other Western-Turkish military officers made Bolt shiver coldly.
The officers were clearly frightened.
Tianzhu is related to Britain’s core interests, but it has little to do with them.
In fact, they never thought that the coalition forces would be defeated. They came with the idea of bullying the indigenous troops in the past.
The more reason is to divide Dasong and gain some benefits after defeating Dasong.
But now, the Dasong Fleet showed surprising combat power in front of them. .
This frightened them.
The so-called unity naturally disappeared in an instant.
After all, Tianzhu is related to Britain’s core interests, but it is not their core interests.
But no matter what they thought, they could no longer change the minds of these officers.
Some officers had already left, sending soldiers to the eastern battlefield.
Frank, Franck, and the officers from Stedam stayed a little longer, but eventually chose to leave.
This battle completely killed their desire to recapture Southeast China, Luzon and Yaga.
For him, what he should be concerned about now is not the colonies captured by Dasong. What should be more worrying is whether Dasong will seize more colonies in the future.
At the same time, they need to feed back the true situation of this war to the country so that the country can make correct judgments.
Secondly, they need to start thinking about how to let the soldiers of the expeditionary force return to their country alive.
“Traitors, you are all traitors. You have abandoned Britain and Tianzhu like this, oh, my Tianzhu, the jewel in the crown of Britain…” There were only British officers and officials with sad faces left around him, Bolt. Yelling like crazy and finally crying.
On the sea, the cat and mouse game continues.
It’s just that the figures of the Dasong battleship and the coalition warships are chasing each other, getting farther and farther away from the port.
He stayed in the port until dusk, when only the smoking wreckage of the warship was left on the sea. Only then did Bolt turn around and go back under the persuasion of officers and officials.
They knew very well that there was not much time left for them.
When the battleship Dasong sank all the escaping battleships, it returned to Tianzhu again.
What they will face will be the ruthless blockade of the Great Song Fleet.
The sea route between Tianzhu and Britain will be completely cut off.
Shortly after Bolt left, the Jinling and the four following sail warships appeared in the sea thirty miles away from the port.
Black smoke columns billowed from the chimneys of the battleships, and the ironclads swung into the red sea water.
I don’t know if the red color under the setting sun is blood or the reflection of the sunset.
Along with the sea water rushing to both sides of the battleship were the wreckage of the coalition warships and the corpses of coalition soldiers floating on the sea.
The smell of blood attracted sharks, and from time to time a triangle fish fin flashed by.
Looking at the purgatory-like scene, Zhou Yi and Song Xiang looked at each other.
At this time, an idea came to their minds at the same time.
Without their Emperor, I am afraid that today’s naval battle would be a matter of victory or defeat, and the sea would be filled with the corpses of Dasong soldiers.
And this naval battle will not be fought in Tianzhu, but will be fought in the waters of Yanzhou.
“The next step is to wait for Qinshan and Guan to defeat them. If they win, the Westerners will be completely out of the East, and Tianzhu will also be included in Dasong’s sphere of influence.” Withdrawing his gaze, Zhou Yi looked at Calcutta, which was gradually shrouded in night. .
He had given the order to stop the pursuit.
It’s not that they can’t catch up, but that the sea in the dark night is a dark maze.
As long as the other party extinguishes the lights, they will not be able to detect the other party’s traces, and the pursuit will be in vain.
What’s more, including the coalition warships that fled into the inland river, at most a dozen sail warships escaped.
As for their steamships, all of them were sunk. After all, these were their main targets.
This number of coalition sailing battleships, without steamships towing them, is no longer worth mentioning to the Dasong Navy.
Even a pair of steamships and sail battleships can be annihilated as soon as they are discovered.
In short, they won this naval battle thoroughly.
The coalition navy was completely wiped out.
Next, they will execute Emperor Zhao Xu’s order and blockade the waters of Tianzhu.
This makes Tianzhu unable to obtain any supplies from the sea.
Thinking of this, he ordered a steamship to leave. On the one hand, he sent the information to Qinshan and Guantong, and on the other hand, he sent the naval battle information back to Dasong.
…
at the same time.
On the front line of the battlefield at the junction of Piaoman and Tianzhu, daily shelling and bombing continued here.
After more than half a month of back-and-forth tactical deception.
Qinshan and Guantong believed that the field artillery in the other side’s trenches had basically been cleared.
The daily small-scale night attacks have also made the other side accustomed to it, and they no longer trigger a comprehensive counterattack by the coalition forces like the first time.
For the two of them, everything indicated that the time had come for a general attack.
“Wait a few more days, I guess Zhou Yi will almost start a fight with the opponent’s navy.” Qin Shan said while looking at the coalition fortifications in the distance.
Today, Guan Tong has urged him several times to launch a general attack.
But he thought he should wait for news from the navy.
After all, the waters of Kolkata are only 800 kilometers away from Piaoman.
It’s not like Malacca, which is more than 2,000 kilometers away from them.
If everything goes well, they can get information about the naval battle in three days.
In his view, the success or failure of a naval battle would be important to the morale of soldiers on both sides.
Especially for coalition soldiers, if they lose a naval battle, it can be said to be fatal to their morale.
Because this would mean they would not be able to return to their country by sea.
Although, they can go back through Tusman.
But there is a distance of 8,000 kilometers from Tianzhu to Western China, and there are many plateaus, mountains and deserts in Central China.
Moreover, it is unknown whether Tusman can provide them with sufficient supplies along the way.
Even if they can go back, how many people can go back alive?
Just thinking about it is enough for the coalition soldiers to collapse.
“Zhou Yi, don’t hold us back.” Guan Tong frowned when he heard this.
Qin Shan said this, and he could only accept it. After all, Qin Shan had a higher position than him on the battlefield.
Waited for another three days.
Before Zhou Yi’s intelligence arrived, the airship over the battlefield reported to the two of them the unusual situation in the coalition forces:
Many officers in different uniforms arrived at the coalition military camp, and there seemed to be a quarrel between the officers, after which all of them were detained.
After learning the news, Qinshan and Guantong immediately asked generals at all levels to keep an eye on the coalition trench fortifications.
Once the opponent makes changes that are beneficial to you, you will immediately launch an attack.
They vaguely guessed something.
This speculation was confirmed the next day.
A group of Husband cavalry brought news that the Dasong Navy had completely annihilated the Allied Navy.
“Obviously, the other side’s generals suppressed the news. They didn’t give up. They wanted us to keep using it to keep Tianzhu.” Rubbing his chin, Zhou Yi said to the pass, “They wanted to suppress it, but we just let them. Everyone knows it.”
