"retreat!"

Wesley hesitated and issued the final order.

"Yes, General." The officers answered very simply.

They were eager to evacuate the first trench fortification as soon as possible.

Before building this fortification, they had never expected the Da Song army to be so terrible.

Just treat them as an army of the same level as them, at most a little higher.

But the war started, instantly tearing down their fantasies and causing them to fall into reality.

It would be fine if the muskets and cannons of the Da Song army were superior to them.

According to the reactions of the soldiers who fled back after the charge, all the Dasong soldiers were well-trained.

Not only is he fearless, he also has excellent combat skills.

Even if they fought with bayonets, they didn't get any advantage.

This is also the reason why the Da Song army launched a counterattack and they were soon defeated.

In general, the enemies they face have no obvious shortcomings.

"Retreat, withdraw, withdraw!"

After receiving the order, the officers were short and shuttled through the trench, demanding that the soldiers evacuate.

As if they were granted a general amnesty, the coalition soldiers stood up and evacuated along the corridor in the longitudinal direction of the trench.

Their actions were quickly observed.

Qin Shan and Guan Tong made almost the same decision at this time, which was to pursue the victory.

"Dududu..." The voice of the charge Qingyang resounded throughout the battlefield.

"Kill!" The soldiers who heard the trumpets charged forward one after another.

For a moment, the dense Dasong army rushed towards the trench of the coalition forces.

Among them, the Qinglong Army is on the front and the Vermilion Bird Army is on the side.

The Dasong army suddenly launched a charge, and the coalition soldiers who were preparing to evacuate became even more panicked.

The coalition soldiers ran south one by one, fearing that they would fall behind others.

They didn't care about the boxes of ammunition in the trench, but just grabbed their own rifled guns.

The artillery had no time to pull away the field artillery, so they simply dropped the artillery and fled with the other soldiers.

The entire trench was in chaos.

However, Wesley had anticipated that the evacuation might be in chaos, so he left five thousand soldiers to be responsible for the rear of the flank and front.

He knew very well that if he didn't do this, an orderly evacuation would really turn into a defeat.

But just as all his previous tactics were discounted in front of the Dasong army.

The same is true for this retreat.

The combat effectiveness shown by the Dasong army surprised Wesley again.

The Dasong soldiers during the charge seemed to have received some kind of blessing.

They were flexible in their movements and cooperated tacitly, dodging and moving in the area between the trenches on both sides with the shooting of the soldiers of the Company.

At the same time, they went on one after another without fear of casualties.

Under such a high-intensity charge, the firepower of the coalition soldiers seemed insufficient.

It is simply impossible to effectively stop its offensive momentum.

The worst thing is that their rifled rifle is very troublesome to load.

Every time the soldier's shooting ends, he has to hold up the muskets and load them up, which delays a lot of effort, which makes the already insufficient firepower even worse.

On the contrary, Dasong soldiers were very quick to load.

This allows them to effectively suppress coalition soldiers and weaken their firepower when charging.

"Admiral, it's too late to leave." While Wesley was observing, an officer grabbed his arm.

Wesley said "ah" heavily and turned around and left.

He left these five thousand soldiers destined to survive, and even this retreat would become an indelible stain in his military history.

"Boom boom boom...", "Boom boom boom..."

Sure enough, he walked less than a hundred meters and suddenly heard the explosion of the other party's grenade.

This is when the Da Song army entered the coalition trench.

Without looking back, Wesley shook his teeth and continued to go to the second fortification.

Just as he walked out four hundred meters, he couldn't help but look back and look around.

At this time, the coalition soldiers responsible for the cut-off were completely defeated and fled out of the trench. The Dasong soldiers in green uniforms chased after him and kept shooting and killing the coalition soldiers.

"Hahaha, it's like a cat chasing a mouse." The evacuation 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 embarrassing situation, Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Xu had a smile on his lips and felt refreshed.

Now, he finally let out a sigh of anger.

Since the Dasong civil strife, these Western natives have been in dispersed and have caused trouble for him.

Now, he defeated one scapegoat after another that the Western natives pushed to the front, and finally faced them head-on.

If his parents who didn't beat them knew each other, how could he be worthy of the soldiers and the people who died in the war?

"Hmph, it's not that easy for them to escape." Zhao Xu said.

Before the war, he learned that the Western-Turkish coalition had established two fortifications.

The second fortification was on the edge of the port in the strait, so that they could escape from Malacca safely for their defeat.

But the coalition forces lost the first fortification, which meant that the fortresses on both sides of their strait were exposed to the Dasong army.

As long as these turrets are captured, the Dasong fleet can sail into the strait safely.

As for the number of fortifications near the port is limited.

At that time, even if he is fighting to sink several warships, he will prevent the coalition from withdrawing from India.

After making a decision, he said to Zhou Yi, "We can't use it here anymore. Next, we are going to destroy the navy of the Western natives."

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhou Yi realized something and looked excited.

He is not willing to act as a supporting role in this war.

If he hadn't been concerned that the artillery on both sides of the strait would pose a threat to the fleet, he would have led the fleet into the strait and annihilated the Western Land fleet hidden in the strait.

Therefore, if the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army can successfully pull out the fort on the side of the strait, they will be able to do nothing.

The two were talking, and a reconnaissance ship responsible for conveying the situation on the battlefield was back.

The captain of the reconnaissance ship boarded the deck and said to Zhao Xu, "Your Highness, General Pan launched a general attack. The Western Turkish army could not support it and was fleeing to the strait."

"It's not a pity that it's Chang Pan, I didn't lose the Marines' face." Zhou Yi laughed twice.

Zhao Xu nodded and asked briefly about the process.

Compared with Qin Shan, Pan Chang obviously adopted different tactics.

After the artillery and fleets bombarded the enemy's positions, he immediately launched a charge.

If the charge is not smooth, he will ask the soldiers to withdraw and continue the shelling.

However, this time he will focus on bombing areas where the enemy counterattacks are strong, and then launch a charge again.

After three repetitions, he tore open the gap in the enemy's defense line and entered the trench position of the Western Turkish Alliance, forcing him to choose to retreat.

"It's not bad that it's Frank, the white flag is raised the fastest." Zhao Xu glanced at his mouth.

Logically speaking, even if the defense line is broken, 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 Admiral.

This makes some sense.

Of course, he was just ridiculing and could not use this to infer the results.

But in fact, the Frank General was obviously heartbroken in the Marines' sharp offensive.
Chapter completed!
