Chapter 972: Red Shirts

"Bah Bah Bah..."
Intensive gunfire sounded in Xinjiapo City, and the quiet night was enveloped in blood and fire.
Ferreon, who thought he was winning, quickly got the bad news. They lost half of their troops in the three hours of fierce battle. The soldiers equipped with the Downton muskets only achieved excellent results at the beginning, and then fell into a passive position. in.
"What the is going on? Why did the counterattack go smoothly at first, but now it's losing streak." Ferion asked his subordinate lieutenant Groot.
"Sorry, Governor, I... I can't explain it. The soldiers from Day Yu are not shooting at us at all, but are using the skirmish line against us. Their muskets seem to be able to shoot in any position, and the soldiers also There is no action of loading bullets from the front like we did. They seem to be loading bullets from behind the of the gun." Groot was beaten up and still a little confused now.
Ferreon’s lungs almost exploded. "Are you looking for excuses for your incompetence? No army would use this stupid tactic, and no musket would load bullets from behind the buttocks. Eat, not eat with your ass."
"But... but it's true!" Groot's voice became quieter.
Ferreon became more angry, and he pushed Groot away, "Now I will meet these soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom and see if they are as good as you said."
With a team of soldiers, Ferreon quickly arrived at the battle site.
Under the fierce attack of the soldiers of the country of Da Yu, the soldiers of the Red Shirt continued to retreat, and now they are not far from the Governor's Mansion.
"Governor, the soldiers can't hold on anymore. The opponent's firepower is too fierce, and the firearms are more advanced than ours. Our tactics are useless to them, and they also have a weapon that will explode if thrown over. Let us lose a lot of soldiers." An officer saw Ferrero coming and reported immediately.
Ferreone's expression suddenly became solemn, and he looked into the flames.
Because of the fighting, there are fires everywhere in Xinjiapo City. In his vision, the soldiers of the country of Da Yu are flexibly shuttled in the fire.
The shooting methods adopted by these soldiers are indeed different. They seem to be able to shoot in any position, and the bullets are indeed loaded from behind the gun butt.
"Governor, now you should believe our words." Groot noticed Ferreone's shock and proved that he had made no mistakes.
A bead of sweat appeared on Ferien's forehead, and he admitted that this time he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom.
Although his soldiers were brave, it was a fact that they were disadvantaged in this battle.
"Order the entire army to retreat!" Ferreon gritted his teeth and said, if they continue, they will only destroy the entire army.
Upon receiving the order, the officers of the Red Shirts immediately asked the soldiers to withdraw from the south gate to the seaport. They also had five warships anchored in the seaport, which was enough for them to escape to India.
The withdrawal of the Red Shirts was quickly discovered by Liu Chen, because the firepower on the opposite side was obviously weakening. Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the Marines to continue to expand their results.
"Yu Yongliang, take your people to pursue, these red-haired ghosts must want to evacuate from the sea, and they cannot be satisfied." Liu Chen said in a loud voice.
Yu Yong bright spot nodded and greeted his subordinates and rushed towards Nancheng. At the same time, Liu Chen made the trumpeter sound the charge.
The soldiers rushed towards Nancheng in the loud Charge. In just one hour, they completely controlled Xinjiapo City.
At this time, Yue Yun sent people to order the warships in the Strait of Johor to cooperate with the Marine Corps in the encirclement and suppression of the remaining red shirts. He was the mercenary trained by the British in the encirclement and suppression of the city.
They met Spanish mercenaries while in Bohol.
In fact, when occupying colonies, European countries often lack military strength to confront the local indigenous people for a long time. After all, their colonies are all over the world, and they can only disperse limited military power.
In this way, training mercenaries in the local area became a means for them. When they attacked the Spanish city, they captured more than 8,000 mercenaries, all of which came from the local indigenous people.
Similarly, in order to control India, the British also trained a large number of mercenaries in India. It is precisely because of the existence of these mercenaries that they were able to successfully defeat the Indian state.
In Singapore, there are many Indian mercenaries hired by the British. These people are dark-skinned and wear earth-colored military uniforms, but their equipment is very simple.
Compared with the strict discipline of British soldiers, these mercenaries are obviously much looser. 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 muskets and chose to become prisoners.
While the city was calmed down, Liu Chen had already arrived at the fort, and the soldiers led by Yu Yongliang before him had successfully captured the fort.
The British, eager to flee, didn't care about the loss of the fort, but their negligence caused a fatal mistake.
The soldiers of the Republic of Chongqing who occupied the turret skillfully manipulated their artillery to shoot at the British warships in the sea~EbookFREE.me~ Two warships that had not had time to leave the harbor were sunk by artillery shells.
The three battleships fled to the sea in a hurry.
"I won, I won..." The soldiers cheered loudly. At this time, a hint of whiteness appeared on the horizon, and dawn had arrived.
Liu Chen's tight face finally showed a smile. The Marine Corps' mission was completed. In one night, they finally conquered Singapore City including the fort and the harbor.
The warm sea breeze hit, Liu Chen, immersed in joy, looked down at the strait in front of him.
There are islands on the opposite side of the harbour. These islands are like barriers blocking the passage from Malacca.
It has to be said that the British have very precise eyes. The wide strait across from Singapore is indeed the only way for merchant ships and warships to enter and exit.
Just levying berthing fees on merchant ships in this place can make a fortune.
While he was thinking about it, Yu Yongliang came over and said, "There are three more ships that have escaped. What should I do?"
"Our battleship is not a display." As soon as his words fell, ten hybrid-powered battleships sailed out from the south side of the strait.
Three British warships are on their route.
"Boom boom boom..."
The battleships of the Great Yu Kingdom, which had been prepared, started first. Using steam power, ten battleships quickly aimed at the British battleship that wanted to escape from the side.
Amid the roar of artillery fire, the three British warships became fireballs burning on the sea one after another. British soldiers on board jumped into the sea one after another. British soldiers were everywhere in the blue water.
"Hey, this is your end. If it weren't for you people to support the merchant council, we would not sacrifice so many soldiers." Liu Chen said fiercely.
Although he still won this time, he knew the price paid was not light.
