Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 923

[Chapter 923 Bullet Rain]

“Boom boom boom…”

Thirty sailing warships lined up in Manila Bay.

After Zhao Xu’s order was issued, the guns on the battleship fired together, and instantly poured more than a thousand shells on the fort on the coast of Manila.

At this moment, they were about four miles from the coast.

During the siege of Manila, Zhou Yi deliberately sent warships to test the maximum range of the opponent’s fort.

The range of the opponent’s artillery varies. Among the 86 forts, the maximum range of 70% of the artillery is two kilometers.

Thirty percent of the artillery has a range of 3,000 meters, but within a distance of 2,000 meters, it cannot cause much damage to the battleship.

Therefore, he decided to let the battleship bombard at a position of two kilometers.

Since it can be bombarded unscathed, there is no need to take risks.

As for why this happens to the Francois machine’s artillery.

He believes that most of the forts in Manila are old artillery.

Because the aborigines in the colony do not know how to make guns and artillery, flintlock guns from one or two hundred years ago are sufficient to deal with them.

Therefore, the colonists have insufficient motivation to change their guns and artillery.

And the artillery with the maximum range of three kilometers is probably coming with the supporting navy.

But obviously not enough.

“Your Highness, you still need to be careful. Occasionally solid bullets will fly over.” A shell landed on the sea in front of the deck, causing splashes more than ten meters high, Zhou Yi reminded politely.

Zhao Xu smiled, “This king has never seen anything in the market. It doesn’t matter how timid he is on the battlefield.”

After that, he looked through the telescope and saw the Manila coast in front of him was instantly covered by the flames from the shell explosion.

He even saw Frang robot soldiers being swept into the sky by the shock wave of the explosion.

Under this wave of shelling, most of the counterattacks from the forts on the coast were cut off.

The firepower of the battleship is the envy of Chang Wei and other army generals.

These warships are artillery positions at sea.

Especially when they are still using blooming ammunition.

As long as a shell hits the fort, at least half of the soldiers on the other side’s fort will die.

“After ten rounds, you can log in.” Zhao Xu muttered.

Ten rounds is the coverage of tens of thousands of shells, even if the shells of the Frang robot are made of iron, almost all of them are blown up.

at the same time.

Different from Zhao Xu’s indifference, Governor Ferrero of Luzon is constantly cursing the Western Turks in deep fear.

“They abandoned us, these sons of bitches.”

“God, let them all go to hell.”

“…”

Because the topography of the coast is always from low to high.

Ferrero stood in the trench and could have a panoramic view of the coast through the telescope.

In the first time, he saw the great power of the Dasong naval gun.

So many shells exploded in succession that the ground beneath him bounced up and down like a spring bed.

It made him and the Frang machine soldiers in the trench open their mouths in surprise.

They have never seen such a picture.

The countless flames in this picture are extraordinarily dazzling, but what they bring is deep fear.

In an instant, most of the Frangji soldiers in the fort suffered casualties.

If these shells fell in the trenches, he could hardly imagine.

“This, this, what kind of monster is this?” Ferrero’s forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of a bean.

He is from the army and has also been in war.

Now, he can be sure of one thing.

This battle will be the cruelest war of his life.

“Bang bang bang…boom…”

Just as Ferrero was in shock, there were suddenly dense gunshots and explosions in the north.

This kind of explosion is very light, not the sound of artillery.

“Your Excellency, a large army of more than 20,000 people suddenly appeared on the north side. They have already entered the city of Manila and are coming to the fortification.”

At this moment, a French soldier was riding a horse. Come, pale.

“What! Isn’t there only a small number of Dasong troops in the north?” Ferrero’s heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible force, making him almost convulsed.

Since the Dasong army occupied Bambu, two thousand Dasong troops have been active in the north of Manila, attacking the northern cities.

Within a short period of time, these cities fell one after another.

After that, he lost control of the north.

At the same time, since the sea route was cut off by the Dasong Navy and the land route was not smooth, he could no longer obtain intelligence from the north.

“This…” Fran’s machine cavalry could not answer Ferrero’s doubts.

“Balenza, you immediately lead 8,000 Frangji soldiers, and 50,000 indigenous troops to annihilate this big song army.” Ferrero shouted at the officer beside him.

Once the city of Manila fell, they were stranded on the coast.

The officer saluted Ferrero, and then gave orders to the officers under his command.

Many Frangji soldiers climbed out of the trench and headed for Manila.

At the same time, a group of indigenous troops, some with flintlock guns and most with swords, also left.

“God bless Balenza to stop Dasong’s army.” Ferrero looked serious.

Since Britain’s Tianzhu Arsenal imitated Dasong’s front-loading rifles.

By agreement, they also received this musket from the Britons.

However, due to limited production, they have only obtained 12,000 rifled guns so far.

This number is not enough to replace Frangji soldiers, not to mention the native army under their command.

But in general, because of the installation of rifled guns, the combat effectiveness of the Frang machine is indeed much stronger than before.

Right now, he doesn’t have any support, and the only thing he can count on is this musket.

“Boom boom boom…” As

he was thinking, the battleship on the sea fired another round of shells.

Then came the third round, the fourth round, and the tenth round.

Just after the tenth round, the battleship on the sea suddenly moved forward.

They stopped at a distance of 500 meters from the coast and lined up again.

Seeing this scene, Ferrero was cold all over.

Sure enough, as he expected.

There was a flash of fire on the sea again, and then countless shells fell like raindrops on the trench position one mile away from the coast.

“Boom boom boom…” The

shells exploded in the trench, deafening and splashing dust all over the sky.

After the explosion, blood rained down from the sky, and there were also painful limbs all over the ground.

The screams also filled the entire trench position.

Ferrero leaned against the wall of the trench, his lips trembling, and his heart was anxious again.

The Dasong people in Luzon are just lowly pigs under their hands.

As long as these pigs dissatisfied him, he could create a massacre to punish them at any time.

Now, he is being attacked by these pigs.

The huge contrast made him feel not only fear, but also a sense of humiliation from his heart.

So, after the extreme fear, he suddenly fell into extreme madness. He looked towards the sea, his pupils dilated, and roared, “Land on, land quickly, how long are you going to wait, let me chop you up one by one .”
