"boom!"

While the coalition forces were planning their retreat, soldiers sent by the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army were already uprooting the forts on one side of the strait.

Every time a fort was removed within ten miles, they lit bonfires to provide signals to the navy.

Without the protection of a line of defense, the coalition fort was extremely vulnerable.

Some artillery and limited rifles were unable to stop the attack of Dasong soldiers.

Even if it hides in a concrete turret, it is often eliminated by grenades.

After the forts fell one by one, Zhao Xu, who saw the beacon rising, nodded to Zhou Yi.

At this time, the entire fleet slowly moved towards the strait.

Zhao Xu and Zhou Yi's flagship Jinghai is located in the middle of the fleet and is protected by other warships.

"Your Highness, naval battles are dangerous. It is safer to stay on land than to stay on a battleship." Zhou Yi advised again after the fleet had traveled several miles.

He had tried to persuade him several times before, but was rejected by Zhao Xu.

Seeing Zhou Yi's mother-in-law, Zhao Xu rolled his eyes and said, "How dangerous is this? When I personally led the troops into Jinzhou to fight Xiliang, it was much more dangerous than this."

"General, I don't want His Highness to take any risks. You are now the pillar of Da Song." Zhou Yi laughed.

Both he and Liu Fu were once servants of the royal family, and they were promoted by Zhao Xu to be where they are today.

Follow Zhao Xu to witness the changes of Da Song day by day.

They valued Zhao Xu more than their own lives.

"I understand your wishes, but I have built such a powerful warship for you. If you can still put me in danger in a naval battle, it proves that you are all useless. I might as well die. "Zhao Xu glared at Zhou Yi.

"Hehe..." Old Zhou Yi blushed, and then he gave a serious military salute, "Your Highness just sits on the deck and drinks tea. His Highness injured a finger, and the general jumped into the sea to feed the fish."

After that, he asked people to bring chairs and put them on the deck, and made Zhao Xu a pot of tea.

Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction, sat on a chair, drank tea leisurely, and looked at both sides of the strait.

The Malacca Strait is actually a very wide strait.

However, for such a wide strait, only the channel on the Singapore side of the eastern entrance is most suitable for passage.

This is because the water in other places is not only shallow, but also full of reefs.

Now, the Blue Dragon Army and the Suzaku Army are located in Malai Country, while the Marine Corps is located in Singapore Island.

The channel is located between Malai Kingdom and Singapore Island.

After the fleet entered the channel, as the distance shortened, he saw the fort group guarding the entrance of the channel.

But at this moment, Dasong soldiers had already occupied the place and were waving flags to signal to the fleet.

Seeing this, the navy soldiers on the battleship saluted the army soldiers on the shore, and the army soldiers returned the military salute.

The fleet continued to sail deeper, and from a distance, they saw a group of occupied forts.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but sigh.

If the army did not capture these forts, they would really suffer a big loss in the battle with the Western Turkish Navy in the waterway.

As the fleet continued to deepen, the field artillery of the Azure Dragon Army and the Suzaku Army arrived at the camp.

At this time, Qinshan and Guantong had discovered signs that the Western Turks were retreating.

Just because he was worried about the bombardment of the opponent's battleship group, he just stood still.

But when the field artillery arrived, he could stand it no longer.

The range of their field guns is not inferior to that of the opponent's battleship guns.

"It's not that easy to retreat before our eyes. Beat me hard." Qin Shan said angrily.

The artillery received the order and immediately set up artillery positions.

The artillery of the Azure Dragon Army and the Suzaku Army gathered together and launched an artillery bombardment at the port.

At this moment, they were about eight miles from the port.

And their field artillery has a range of ten miles, which is completely within their range.

Although it is already within the extreme range and the effect is relatively poor, it can still cause trouble for the Western-Turkish coalition forces.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Not long after, howitzers and rifled cannons roared, and shells flew towards the warships moored in the port.

At this time, Wesley was organizing soldiers to board the ship. When he heard the sound of cannons, his heart skipped a beat.

He knew clearly that this was the arrival of Dashong's artillery.

"Get aboard! Get aboard quickly!" Wesley stood on the deck of a battleship and shouted.

After deliberation, each country made its choice, and they took away their core generals and most elite troops.

This has already minimized the loss.

Wesley's shout made the soldiers move faster, and they all ran to board the battleship.

But after just a few breaths, Dasong's cannonballs roared sharply and fell from the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Shells erupted one after another at the port.

When the shell hit, the supply wooden boxes piled up in the port were blown to pieces and burned.

The soldiers who boarded the ship were swept up by the air waves and fell to the ground. Their life or death was unknown.

There were also shells falling into the water, exploding into waves more than ten meters high.

"Wesley, move quickly." Mafuor and Wesley were on the same battleship.

As soon as the shells fell, they rushed out of the cabin.

Dasong's army moved too fast. Even among the soldiers who were preparing to evacuate, most of them had not yet boarded the ship.

Although he wanted to evacuate now, he thought it was worth risking several battleships to be sunk and taking more soldiers away.

Therefore, he only urged and did not abandon the troops who followed the navy to evacuate.

Otherwise, their evacuation would be meaningless.

"We have tried our best." Wesley looked anxious.

He was thinking about whether to go down to supervise, when suddenly a warship not far away from him was hit by a cannonball, and thick smoke rose after the explosion.

The soldiers on that battleship had to disembark and board other battleships.

After the battleship was hit, the soldiers boarded the ship significantly faster.

It was obvious that if they did not evacuate soon, there would be fewer and fewer warships available.

Another half hour passed, and the last five thousand soldiers had not yet boarded the ship.

At this time, a Western steamship came from the east and brought back news that frightened Mafur.

The Great Song Fleet was less than twenty miles away from the port.

"We must set sail now!" After receiving the news, Mafuor immediately found Wesley.

At the speed of the Great Song Fleet, the sail warship towed by its steamship can arrive in less than twenty minutes.

"Hey!" Wesley sighed heavily when he heard this. He naturally understood what this meant.

If they don't leave, they really won't be able to leave.

Nodding, he ordered the officer to put away the rope ladder for boarding the ship.

The rope ladders of each warship were put away, and the coalition soldiers who were preparing to land suddenly panicked.

Their formation immediately became chaotic. The soldiers kept patting the hull and yelled at the navy soldiers to regain their trust in the rope ladder.

But no one paid attention to them, and there was only the sound of the steamer's whistle.

This was telling them that the fleet was preparing to evacuate.
