Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 632

[Chapter 632 Confrontation]

“General, Fran’s warship is about to escape.”

At the port of Marka City, the two warships turned around and headed south, the flagship captain Gong Ying immediately shouted.

Frowning, after the translator sent by Franz returned, there was no movement.

Now, the two warships chose to flee again.

This operation made him a little confused, but after thinking about it for a while, he figured out the key point.

The Franji battleship escaped only because the Franji general did not have the confidence to defeat them at sea, and fled just to preserve his strength.

It’s just that as soon as the warship leaves, they can successfully board Yizhou and attack Marka City.

He believed this, and General Franji must have taken it into consideration.

Then he still chooses to do this, there is only one reason, and that is that he is confident that he can withstand their attack in Marka City.

“Don’t they know the power of Yanzhou firearms?” Zhou Yi put a question mark in his mind.

In other words, they think that their anger is better than Yanzhou’s.

Shaking his head, Zhou Yi decided to let the marines land first, and then adapt to the situation on the battlefield.

Under his command, the troop carrier sailed to the port of Marka.

The Marines disembarked from the troop carrier without incident.

Then, a field gun and a mortar were hoisted from the battleship.

After all the soldiers went ashore, he said to Pan Chang, captain of the Marine Corps, “I will leave this battle to you.”

“Yes, General.” Pan Chang replied yes.

Immediately, he arrived at the shore in a small boat.

Originally, he was Bai Shang’s lieutenant general, responsible for training the Marine Corps.

After the training was completed, he was originally going to return to the palace to join the army, but Zhou Yi had his eyes on him during the Great Song Northern Expedition.

So he asked King Yan for orders and left him in the Marine Corps.

After boarding the port of Marka City, Pan Changlik rectified the soldiers and ordered to march to Marka City.

Although a bastion of a red city wall can be seen standing on the ground from the port in the distance.

But there are more than ten miles between the port and the bastion.

There are farmlands on both sides of the road leading to the city of Marka.

To their surprise, rice seedlings grew on these fields, while in the cold Yanzhou, wheat was grown on the land.

In the village at the end of the farmland, the people of Dasong can be vaguely seen looking at this side, and then disappear like rabbits.

Along the way, they encountered no resistance, and they stopped about 1,500 meters away from Marka City.

Picking up the binoculars, Pan Chang looked towards the city of Marka.

At this moment, soldiers were standing on the walls of Marka City, and thirty artillery pieces were aimed at them.

“I didn’t expect that one day it would be our turn to attack the bastion.” After observing for a while, Pan Chang gave a wry smile.

The huge bastion of Marka City was similar to the Yanguan outer wall they had seen, and he understood the power of this bastion.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw an astonishing scene.

The gate of the city of Marka opened, and a group of Franklin soldiers came out in line.

These Frankie soldiers wore uniform blue military uniforms, which were quite different from Da Song’s costumes, but similar to bunts worn by ordinary people.

They also wear sailboat-like hats on their heads.

After the Franji soldiers left the city, they lined up in front of the city gate. Immediately, 18 more field guns were pushed out and continued to advance with the team.

Seeing this scene, Pan Chang was not only not nervous, but rather excited.

He fought with Bai Shang on the battlefield, and after going through all kinds of battles, he was experienced in many battles on the battlefield.

Naturally not nervous at all.

Furthermore, the gunpowder used by the Marine Corps soldiers this time was all yellow gunpowder just produced by Yancheng.

Before setting off, they tested the power of the yellow powder.

Just like the data provided by the Bing Zhansi, their rifled guns can effectively kill the enemy within 350 meters, and stray bullets can also injure the enemy within 600 meters beyond the effective range.

At the same time, whether it is artillery or mortar, the power has been greatly improved.

“I’m really looking for death.” Pan Chang sneered, and immediately changed the formation of the Marine Corps soldiers according to the formation of the Franji soldiers.

In less than ten minutes, the Marine Corps soldiers lined up in a horizontal line 300 meters wide, like the Francois soldiers, with three lines in each line.

There are eight such horizontal teams, advancing in a staggered manner.

At the head of Marka City, Steven looked at the soldiers of Yanzhou who were advancing, and whistled, “It’s time for hunting.

” Pretty much the same field gun.

But he is still confident that he can defeat these eastern natives.

Because he believed that the firearms of the western lands would not lose to the natives of the eastern lands.

In his opinion, the muskets used by these King Yan soldiers were at most similar to the western firearms imitated by the Dongying people.

The flintlock guns they use are well-crafted, and they are by no means comparable to the rude ones made by the Japanese native craftsmen.

Their hard steel barrels allow them to hold more gunpowder in their chambers, and their smooth, mirror-like chambers allow bullets to shoot out without hindrance.

All this allowed their flintlock guns to reach an effective range of one hundred and fifty meters.

This is basically the limit of the Xitu flintlock.

If you want to improve again, you can only replace the yellow gunpowder that was born in Xitu not long ago.

But because such flintlock guns are enough to deal with the natives of the East, Franji’s army did not ration them the more powerful gunpowder.

Even so, as the army considered, he believed it would be enough.

This time, he will beat the crap out of this King Yan army.

With a smug smile on his face, Steven was about to observe a massacre of Yanzhou soldiers.

On the battlefield, as the two armies got closer, Pan Chang immediately dispatched 600 soldiers to form skirmishers, and scattered them forward.

This is their new tactic.

It was the first time he faced the army of Xitu, so he naturally wanted to use it to try the power of this tactic.

The main tasks he gave to the stragglers were to harass the Franco soldiers in the front, and the other was to attack the Franco artillery.

No matter how far the range of the musket is, it is far less than the artillery. The two armies marched in dense formation, and the artillery of Franji could still pose a threat to the soldiers of the palace.

After receiving the order, the stragglers were scattered all over the battlefield like a handful of sand being scattered on the ground.

They were in groups of three, distributed at the front of the queue.

When approaching 350 meters, these skirmishers raised their rifles and aimed at the Francine soldiers.

“Bang bang bang…” There was no thick white smoke rising from the battlefield.

Only a slight blue smoke floated up, but this did not affect the vision.

When using yellow powder, they were told that one of the differences between yellow powder and black powder was that yellow powder was smokeless powder.

In this way, they will not be obscured by thick smoke on the battlefield and affect shooting.

As the gunshots sounded, the marching Franco soldiers suddenly fell sporadically.

Seeing this scene, General Franji, who was marching with the team, was suddenly taken aback.

It’s just that without Steven’s order, they can only move on.
