"Woo Woo ......"

Dense gunfire rang out in the city of Xinjiapo, and the quiet night was enveloped in blood and fire.

Fereon, who thought they were in danger of victory, soon received the bad news, they lost half of their forces in three hours of fierce fighting, and the soldiers armed with Downton muskets only achieved excellent results at the beginning, and then fell into passivity.

"What the is going on? Why did the counterattack go well at the beginning, but now it is losing one after another. Fereon questioned his lieutenant, Groot.

"I'm sorry, Governor, but I... I can't explain clearly, these soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom are not shooting at us at all, but using a skirmish line against us, their muskets seem to be able to shoot in any position, and the soldiers do not have the action of loading from the front like us, they seem to be loading bullets from behind the butt of their guns. Groot was stunned, and now he is still a little dazed.

Feleon's lungs almost exploded, "Are you looking for an excuse for your incompetence?" No army will use such a stupid method of warfare, and no musket will be loaded from behind the buttocks, which is the same as the fact that people eat with their mouths, and not with their butts. ”

"But... But it is! Groot's voice dimmed.

Feleon became more and more angry, and he pushed Groot away, "Now I'll go and meet these soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom to see if they are as powerful as you say." ”

With a squad of soldiers, Feleon soon arrived at the place of engagement.

Under the fierce attack of the soldiers of the Great Chongqing State, the soldiers of the Red Shirts continued to retreat, and now they are not far from the Governor's Palace.

"Governor, the soldiers can't hold on, the opponent's firepower is too fierce, the firearms are more advanced than ours, our tactics are useless to them, and they also have a weapon that will explode if they are thrown over, which makes us lose a lot of soldiers." An officer saw Ferrero approaching and immediately reported it.

Feleon's expression suddenly became solemn, and he looked into the firelight.

Because of the fighting, there is now fire everywhere in Xinjiapo City, and in his field of vision, the soldiers of the Great Chongqing Kingdom are flexibly shuttling in the firelight.

The soldiers did shoot differently, as if they could shoot in any position, and the bullets were indeed loaded from behind the butt of the gun.

"Governor, it's time for you to take our word for it." Groot noticed Fereon's shock and duly proved that he had made no mistake.

A bead of sweat appeared on Feleon's forehead, and he admitted that this time he had underestimated the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom.

Despite the bravery of his soldiers, it is true that they fell to the upper end in this battle.

"Order the whole army to retreat!" Fereon gritted his teeth and said, if they continue, they will only be wiped out.

Upon receiving the order, the officers of the Red Shirts immediately told the soldiers to withdraw from the south gate to the harbor, where they had five warships anchored, enough for them to flee to India.

The withdrawal of the Red Shirts was soon discovered by Liu Chen, because the firepower on the opposite side obviously had a tendency to weaken, thinking of this, he immediately ordered the Marines to continue to expand the results.

"Yu Yongliang, take your people to pursue, these red-haired ghosts must want to evacuate from the sea, and they can't be satisfied." Liu Chen said loudly.

Yu Yongliang nodded, beckoned his men and rushed towards Nancheng, and at the same time, Liu Chen let the trumpeter blow the trumpet.

The soldiers rushed towards the southern city in a loud charge, and in just an hour, they took full control of the city of Xinjiapo.

At this time, Yue Yun sent people to order the warships in the Johor Strait to cooperate with the marines to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Red Shirts, and he was responsible for encircling and suppressing the mercenaries trained by the British in the city.

While in Bohol, they met Spanish mercenaries.

In fact, when occupying colonies, European countries often lack the strength to confront the local natives for a long time, after all, their colonies are spread all over the world, and they can only disperse their limited military strength.

As a result, training mercenaries in the area became a means of doing so, and during the attack on the Spanish Crown, they captured more than 8,000 mercenaries, all of whom were native to the region.

Similarly, in order to control India, the British also trained a large number of mercenaries in India, and it was because of the presence of these mercenaries that they were able to successfully defeat their Indian princely states.

In the city of New Jiapo there were many Indian mercenaries hired by the British, who were dark-skinned and wore earth-colored military uniforms, but they were very poorly equipped.

Compared to the strict discipline of the British soldiers, these mercenaries were noticeably looser, and under the attack of the marines, these mercenaries quickly chose to surrender after discovering that the British had fled.

About two thousand mercenaries dropped their smoothbore guns and chose to become prisoners.

At the same time that the city was pacified, Liu Chen had already arrived at the fort, and the soldiers led by Yu Yongliang before him had successfully captured the fort.

The British, in a hurry to flee for their lives, did not care at all about the loss of the battery, it was only their negligence that caused a fatal mistake.

The soldiers of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, who had occupied the fort, skillfully manipulated their artillery to fire at the British battleships in the sea, and the two battleships that had not had time to leave the harbor were sunk by shells.

The three battleships fled to sea in a hurry.

"Win, win......" The soldiers let out a loud cheer, and at this time the sky was already glowing with a hint of fish belly white, and dawn had arrived.

Liu Chen's tense face finally showed a smile, the mission of the Marines was completed, and in one night, they finally conquered Xinjiapo City, including the capture of the fort and the harbor.

The warm sea breeze struck, and Liu Chen, who was immersed in joy, looked down at the strait in front of him from a high below.

On the opposite side of the harbour are islands that act as a barrier blocking the passage from Malacca.

It has to be said that the British are very precise, and the wide strait opposite this new Jiapo is indeed the only channel for merchant ships and warships to enter and exit.

Just by leviing berthing fees on merchant ships coming and going in this place, you can make a fortune.

While he was thinking, Yu Yongliang walked over and said, "There are three more ships that have escaped, what should I do?" ”

"Our warships are not decorations." As soon as he finished speaking, ten hybrid warships sailed out from the south side of the strait.

Three battleships of the British were on their course.

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

The battleships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, which had already been prepared, struck first, and using steam power, ten battleships quickly aimed at the British battleships that wanted to escape from the side.

In the roar of artillery fire, the three British battleships became fireballs burning on the sea, and the British soldiers on board jumped into the sea one after another, and the blue water was full of British soldiers.

"Hey, this is what happened to you, if it weren't for you people supporting the Merchant Council, we wouldn't have sacrificed so many soldiers." Liu Chen said fiercely.

Although he still won this time, he knew that the price paid was not light.
