Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 943

[Chapter 943 Power]

“Damn it, they are going to use naval guns to deal with us.” On

the watchtower outside New South Wales, Oliver and Joseph were also observing the situation in the port with binoculars.

As the Dasong soldiers landed at the port, their expressions became more and more serious.

When these soldiers began to remove the cannons from the battleship, the two fell into a long silence at the same time.

In the end, it was Oliver who said something.

At this moment, he was suddenly not as confident as when he was in the Governor’s Mansion.

Great praise to the uniforms of the soldiers, the orderly order and the naval guns that look very sophisticated.

This subverted the image of the Eastern natives in his heart.

“God bless us to win this war!” Joseph took a deep breath.

Like Oliver, he obviously realized that this army was not that simple.

Looking at each other, the two got off the sentry tower and actively inspected the trench fortifications to prevent mistakes in the war.

eight days later.

The two sides are facing each other like this.

Dasong Marine soldiers are busy making gun mounts so that the naval guns can be pulled and moved.

British soldiers were busy reinforcing the fortifications.

Surprisingly harmonious on the battlefield.

But in the early morning of the ninth day, with the arrival of the troop transport fleet, the atmosphere on the battlefield became solemn.

Of course, this solemnity is only aimed at the British army.

The marines are even more relaxed, because their strength has reached 30,000.

And at this time.

Three hundred and sixty naval guns were unloaded.

Each naval gun was fitted with a makeshift mount.

These gun mounts may not be very strong, but they are strong enough to last through the war.

“Let’s get started! The Australian Continental War should come to an end. This king is waiting to give this continent a new name.” Zhao Xu laughed.

This continent of Australia is the name given to this continent by the British.

After occupying this place, he will naturally no longer use the name of the British.

Because like naming a planet, it symbolizes a country’s soft power.

In addition to here, there are many other places that he will rename.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Zhou Yi and the generals’ eyes lit up.

In fact, they are more urgent than King Yan.

Regarding the matter of staking land, I couldn’t bear it from top to bottom.

After receiving the order, the generals returned to their respective armies and organized soldiers to go to the trench fortifications in New South Wales.

Same with Hedland and Queensland.

Trench work in New South Wales was also dug around the city.

The reason for this is actually very simple.

Like many of the British colonies.

When the colonists first arrived, they could only expand outward with a little bit.

This is especially true in places like mainland Australia.

It is also for this reason that resources can only be concentrated in the colonial area, and it is impossible to live without the colonial area.

In this way, they can only stick to their colonial territories.

One morning.

Thirty thousand marine soldiers arrived at the predetermined location under the leadership of their respective generals.

Basically, he surrounded the entire colonial realm.

Three hundred and sixty naval guns were also distributed and arranged in different locations.

Among them, the naval guns arranged on the front are the most, reaching 120 pieces.

everything’s ready.

Zhao Xu gave the order to shell.

“Boom boom boom…” The

huge roar of the naval gun quickly resounded through the battlefield.

One after another shells hit the British trench fortifications.

Since the naval gun itself is a heavy artillery with a large caliber, it is more powerful than field artillery and howitzers.

Its disadvantage is naturally that it is very bulky and not suitable for long-term marching.

But for attacking coastal colonial territories, naval guns are undoubtedly very suitable.

“Boom!”, “Boom!”, “Boom!”…

After the roar of the artillery, huge clusters of flames burst out from the British trench fortifications.

While the flames soared into the sky, large swaths of soil were thrown up.

There were even British soldiers who were directly thrown into the air five or six meters high, and their clothes were torn to pieces by the shock wave.

“…”

Zhou Yi and other generals couldn’t help swallowing at this scene.

Due to the long distance during naval battles, they could not appreciate the true power of naval gun shells.

Now, when the shells landed firmly on the land in front of them, they realized that the naval guns were so terrifying.

Zhao Xu also couldn’t help clicking his tongue.

With the 406-caliber naval gun during World War II, one shell is enough to completely destroy a factory, and it is almost impossible to have a living within 50 meters.

Although his naval gun is still far from this level, the caliber is only 206mm, but its power is still very objective.

At this moment, Zhao Xu and the generals were only surprised, but the British soldiers in the trench were terrified.

Every shell exploded on the trench works like a slight earthquake.

Dust, flesh and broken limbs flew over the fortifications and fell into the trenches.

A British soldier was lying on the ground because of extreme fear.

At this time, half of the head suddenly hit him in front of him, and he immediately passed out.

Not far from this soldier, a British soldier was shaking with wet crotch.

This is still a British regular army soldier, and the militia and townspeople are even more miserable.

Their cries and screams mingled with the wailing of wounded soldiers in the trenches.

Some timid ones ran into the city in a panic regardless of discipline.

They don’t want to stay here for a moment and get bombed.

But before they left the trench fortifications, they were shot and killed by the supervisors led by Oliver and Joseph.

“For Britain, everyone has to fight.” Oliver’s face was livid, and his hands were shaking easily.

In order to prevent being discovered by Joseph, he deliberately put his hands in his pockets.

He has also experienced war, but he has never seen such a powerful artillery on the battlefield.

Most importantly, the opponent’s shells can explode.

The only good news is that the opponent’s artillery was fired directly, and many shells exploded on the surface of the trench.

Instead of shells falling from the sky and falling into trenches like a howitzer.

But even so, due to the great power of the explosion, it was enough to cause many casualties.

“It’s time.” Joseph’s face turned pale, but he said firmly.

Oliver realized something and nodded, “We can’t let them fire safely!”

Immediately, Joseph’s order was conveyed.

Not long after, the branches on the pits in some places on the trench fortification were lifted up, exposing the muzzle of the field artillery.

“Boom boom boom…”

British field artillery fired solid projectiles at the artillery positions of the Dasong army.

Almost at the same time, many prisoners in prison uniforms crawled out of the trench.

These prisoners took bayonet-loaded flintlock guns and rushed towards the Dasong army position 500 meters away.

There are a large number of these prisoners, tens of thousands.

And the direction of their charge is the position of the artillery of the Dasong army.
