Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 915

[Chapter 915 Danger or Opportunity?]

“But if Luzon is rescued, we will only be exposed to the Dasong Navy and confronted head-on, which is quite detrimental to us.” Rear Admiral Fan Xilei said.

Major General Franji said hurriedly, “Even so, if Luzon is lost, Dasong will gain a foothold in the Eastern and Southern Regions, and the guns will be on your heads.

” For Lang Ji’s benefit, he naturally wanted to win the support of the coalition forces.

Many generals fell silent after hearing the words.

For them, this is a real problem.

Not saving Lu Song is a trouble, and saving Lu Song is also a trouble.

Marfoul paced back and forth with a pipe in his mouth, glancing at the chart from time to time.

After a long time, he made a decision, “We can’t save Luzon, and we can’t just sit idly by. There are thirty steamships and sail warships going south this time. This is at least half, or even more than half, of the Dasong Navy. During the Battle of

Dongying, they determined that Dasong had twenty-four steam ships and forty-eight sailing warships.

Now that the naval battle is less than a year away, and combined with the investigation, he judges that the number of warships in the Dasong Navy has expanded again.

“To save or not to save?” Quevedo’s voice was full of dissatisfaction.

Also an admiral, he was not convinced by Marfour at all.

If it weren’t for the fact that Britain is the most powerful in the East, he really wouldn’t want to work with the Britons.

“Don’t be in such a hurry, Quevedo.” Marfool spit out a smoke ring, “The Dasong Fleet went south to Luzon, and we took the opportunity to capture Yizhou and cut off their retreat. In order to save Yizhou, they must go north. At that time, we will concentrate all our forces and set up an ambush circle in the waters of Yizhou, waiting for them.” After

a pause, he continued, “However, in order to prevent the remaining Dasong Navy from rushing to protect Yizhou, we need to send several The squad feints.”

After all, Marfour marked three points on the chart.

Surprisingly, there are three places in Jinghai, Qingcheng, and Laicheng.

These three places are all the locations of Dasong Shipbuilding Workshop.

Among them, Jinghai drew the largest circle.

“Although I don’t like you very much, you are right.” Quevedo said.

Right now, the number of coalition warships is clearly greater than that of the Dasong Navy.

In this way, they will have a surplus of warships.

It is enough to send twenty ships to Jinghai, five to Qingcheng, and five to Laicheng.

The other generals also nodded.

Although Colombia is eager to relieve the crisis in Luzon.

But obviously if the Dasong Navy cannot be defeated, this crisis cannot be completely resolved.

Agree on the strategy for going forward.

Ma Fuer assigned tasks to the generals of various countries.

Frangji, Stedam, and Sam’s fleet were responsible for feint attacking three places and dragging some of the Dasong warships.

The rest of the warships headed straight for Yizhou.

next day.

The warships of Franz, Stedam and Sam set off first.

Three days later, Malfoy personally led the remaining battleships to Yizhou.

“May God bless us.” Malfoy crossed himself as the battleship set off.

This time, including the country of Sam, they have 70 steamships and 144 sailing warships.

The size of the navy far exceeds that of Da Song’s fleet.

And they are confident that the experienced Xitu navy is better than the newly built navy in Dasong in terms of training.

It’s just because some warships are left to station in the colony to deal with emergencies.

This time he only concentrated fifty steam ships and one hundred sail warships.

But even so, these advantages made him believe that this part of the force was enough to destroy the Great Song Fleet.

However, they also have obvious disadvantages.

In the Battle of Dongying, the range and power of the Yanwang battleship’s artillery were much higher than theirs.

And the artillery also used flowering ammunition.

For them, this is also a precedent for naval warfare.

Therefore, in order to deal with King Yan’s battleship, they also carried flower bombs this time.

However, because the flowering ammunition cannot withstand high chamber pressure, the range is destined to be inferior to that of the Dasong Fleet.

For this problem, it was decided to adopt close combat tactics.

Now, he hopes the tactic will work.

Then, they will be able to completely annihilate King Yan’s fleet in this naval battle.

On the way to Yizhou, they encountered the Frangji warship who came to ask for help.

Knowing that King Yan’s fleet was besieging Manila, Malfoy smiled lightly, but ordered the Flanger warship to join his fleet and head towards Yizhou.

On the way of sailing, they also encountered a scout ship of the Dasong Navy.

Malfoy ignored it, but continued to rush to Yizhou at full speed.

At this moment, he believes that Frangji, Sterdan, and the country of Sam have pinned down some of Dasong’s warships.

Even if they were discovered, the Dasong Navy in Yizhou would not be able to notify their warships to come back in time.

In six days, they arrived in the east of Yizhou.

It is only one day’s sea journey from Yizhou.

But at this time, the Dasong steamship in charge of the investigation rushed back one day in advance and sent the news to Gong Ying.

Yesterday, Gong Ying asked people to pass the news to Yancheng, and at the same time sent someone south to send it to Zhou Yi.

At the same time, he dispatched twelve sailing warships and twelve steamships stationed in Yizhou to prepare for the enemy.

Ma Fuer’s deception succeeded, and Gong Ying sent eighteen sailing warships and eighteen steamships to deal with the Xitu warships that broke into the island chain.

It was too late when he learned that the main force of the warships of the Western Land Allied Forces was coming in the direction of Yizhou.

“Forty-eight steamships, seventy sailing warships, you all want to take Yiyi Prefecture, it’s wishful thinking.” Looking at the Haicheng Office, Gong Ying looked at the chart on the wall, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Calculated according to the time, if the fleet of the Western Turkmenistan Allied Forces is targeting Yizhou, it will arrive today.

But he wasn’t worried about it at all.

Because after the pacification of Dongpu, Yizhou became an outpost for the marines going south.

Except for the marines stationed in Dongpu and Ryukyu, all the other marines are here.

It is impossible for them to capture Yizhou.

Therefore, the only thing to worry about is that the fleet under his command can deal with nearly ten times the number of enemies.

After all, warships are cavalry at sea.

Even if Yizhou cannot be captured, due to its maneuverability at sea, it can land at any point in Yizhou and cause damage to the coast.

This is also what he does not want to see.

“It’s not my style, Gong Ying, to retreat without fighting. Even if you can’t beat them, you have to hold them back and wait for other warships to come to your rescue.” Gong Ying slapped the table and made a decision.

The Dongying naval battle established the Dasong Navy’s psychological advantage over the Western Turk warships.

In front of their naval guns, the Xitu battleship was as fragile as a piece of paper.

“Hmph, as long as you take the initiative to appear, you will lose.” Gong Ying’s eyes narrowed.

The fleet went south to draw out the Western Turk Fleet.

Although the Xitu Fleet did not go to Luzon, its appearance in Yizhou also exposed the location of their main force.
