Chapter 1047 Evacuation
"The offensive in the north and south directions is as smooth as it is, and the Western Turkish coalition forces are bound to escape this time." Zhao Xu looked at the Malujia Strait with a cold look. "Since that's the case, we will now let the two naval warships join in one place. After the fort is cleared, we will enter the strait."
After saying that, he ordered the reconnaissance ship to bring his orders to Gong Ying.
Soon, Gong Ying received the order and led the warship to the north.
When the fleet gathered, the coalition soldiers on the south and north sides were all busy running for their lives.
How long did the troops led by Wesley escape and how long did the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army chase after them?
Of course, Qinshan and Guantong did not forget the task of cleaning the fort.
They each drew two thousand soldiers, a total of four thousand men following the coast to touch the entrance to the strait.
These soldiers will pull out the groups of turrets built by the coalition from east to west.
The other soldiers kept chasing the coalition soldiers and slashed in front of their second fortification.
At this moment, they suddenly saw a ball of fire coming out of the sea, and then a thunderous sound rang out.
The shells flew over from the sea, and the shells were like rain.
The soldiers of the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army naturally knew what this was.
Just like their warships bombed the coalition forces, the other party was obviously using artillery from the warships to deal with them.
Seeing this, they stopped chasing and immediately evacuated north for a distance.
"Boom boom boom..."
As they evacuated, shells from the coalition warships continued to fall.
The shells were round in shape, with a burning fuse on the head. The fuses burned out and the shells exploded one after another.
Looking at the disaster of the explosion, the soldiers of the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army were sweating.
Fortunately, they were in groups of three or three when they were chasing and the people were scattered.
If a intensive formation charge is launched, this wave of shelling can cause them considerable casualties.
"The Western natives still have two brushes, and they can even use the flowering bullet, although the range is insufficient." Qin Shan and Guan Tong also chased after him.
While Guan Tong was sweating in his heart, he mocked him.
"You can't underestimate any enemy." Qin Shan narrowed his eyes.
In fact, both the enemy and us will continue to learn in the war to crack the opponent's tactics.
For example, in the first trench fortification, the charge of the Western natives was a typical straggler line.
Although they have not yet understood the essence of the three-three system, they are quite good.
This made the Western natives comprehensively change their tactics in all aspects.
In addition, even the Western natives were imitating their muskets and cannons.
The rifled rifle is one, and the second is the cannon fired flowering bullet.
If they can build breech guns, their tactics will further change with the change of weapons.
This is also the reason why the King of Yan has always emphasized that the enemy cannot be underestimated.
Otherwise, if they are negligent, they may lose their way, such as this pursuit.
"What should we do now? They really learn and apply it. If they charge, we will suffer a lot of casualties." Guan Tong asked again.
"Let the soldiers eat and rest." Qin Shan looked west and the sun was about to set.
After pausing, he continued, "Wait until our soldiers take the fort on the side of the strait and let the navy clean up them."
Guan Tong nodded and smiled helplessly, "You said our army and the navy don't see each other all day long, and sometimes we can really use each other."
"Of course, no one can lack one in the sea or road." Qin Shan smiled.
After saying that, he ordered the soldiers to set up a resting camp.
In order to prevent sneak attacks, the machine gun was placed on the outside, and bells and other objects were placed.
at the same time.
Seeing that Da Song's army was blocked by artillery fire, the coalition soldiers fled into the fortifications gave great cheers.
He finally didn't have to worry about being driven into the sea by the other party.
Relying on their warships, they can wait safely in the fortifications until the arrival of reinforcements.
Wesley and the officers were relieved.
For Wesley, he finally felt that he had made the right decision this time.
However, when Malfoy rushed over in anger, he fell into uneasiness again.
"You gave up the first fortification and hurried in this small port fortification. Didn't you expect the Da Song army to take the opportunity to take down the fortress group on the side of the strait?" Malfoy shouted loudly when he saw Wesley.
He was so angry that he was crazy.
Wesley was only considering his own army, and he had to think about the Navy.
Once the fort is lost, the Dasong Navy will likely rush into the strait, and that is the real despair.
"Then tell me what to do, should we let the coalition soldiers die in the first fortification? Malfoy, I have already thought about your navy very much, otherwise when the Dasong fleet shelled us, I should let your navy go out to fight!" Wesley was also furious.
He had had enough anger in Dasong's hands and did not want to be angry with Ma Fuer anymore.
"Only God knows what to do? Oh, God, why do we fight the damn Dasong army in this damn place?" Mafur pinched his brow in pain.
Then he said, "Golleer was also driven to the strait by the Dasong army. You all failed. Before, our navy also failed. This can already explain a lot. Wesley, take advantage of the fortress being occupied by the Dasong army, and retreat to India at night, otherwise, you all will die here."
"Removing?" Wesley's eyes suddenly became confused.
Ma Fuer nodded heavily, "Even so, we can only evacuate 20,000 people at a time. You can choose whoever you want to leave and whoever you want to stay."
Wesley fell into silence, and for a long time, he said to Maford, "Let me think about it."
Mafuer nodded, "You only have one night of thinking, and tell me the result the next morning. Sometimes, you have to make a choice to minimize the losses and never let the damn Dasong people eat us all."
Wesley nodded.
At this time, it was completely dark and the fortifications were filled with the light of torches.
That night, Wesley never slept. He kept cursing the Great Song army and pondering about what to choose next.
Mafore's warning is right.
It is safe for them to retreat here for the time being, but if they lose the protection of the first fortification, their fortress will be in danger.
Moreover, the artillery of the Dasong army has not arrived yet because of its slow movement.
When their artillery soldiers are in place, they can still shell their fortifications.
Therefore, whether to withdraw tomorrow morning or not really determines the fate of the coalition forces.
Until the dawn, he finally made a decision and immediately summoned officers from various countries to tell the officers about his ideas.
The cruel war left officers from all countries in panic, and none of them opposed Wesley.
Just go back and select the first batch of evacuated people.
Of course, this "first batch" evacuation was just a comfort to the soldiers left behind, because no one knew whether this was the last evacuation.
