Chapter 364: Another Combined Fleet Destroyed

The two sides fought back and forth, engaging in a fierce confrontation.

“Kill~~”

The soldiers of Daqian roared wildly, maneuvering the ships to avoid the enemy's shells while firing back.

The Combined Fleet did not show any weakness and fired desperately.

For a moment, the sea was filled with smoke and blood and flesh were flying everywhere.

In a short while, dozens of warships on both sides were sunk.

As the battle progressed, the Daqian Navy gradually became exhausted.

After all, the opponent has too many warships, and the combined fleet is composed of large and medium-sized warships.

"Very good, they can't hold on any longer, hit them hard."

Newman said excitedly upon seeing this.

He immediately ordered the warships to continue their fierce attack on the Daqian Navy.

"Bang! Bang..."

The two sides clashed again, and the Daqian Navy gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Half an hour later, the Daqian Navy had to start retreating.

"Haha, it's so vulnerable."

Looking at the Daqian navy going away, Newman laughed.

"Send the order, give chase."

Then Newman snapped.

"As ordered!"

Upon hearing this, the messenger quickly went down to carry out the order.

As Newman's order was issued, the combined fleet quickly chased after the Daqian Navy.

"Sir Newman, the enemy ships are retreating to Malacca. I heard there's a terrifyingly powerful coastal defense gun in Malacca. Be careful!"

The staff officer reminded solemnly.

"Don't worry, one fort isn't a concern at all. But why hasn't Daqian's ship appeared yet?"

Hearing the staff officer's reminder, Newman frowned and asked.

It was already well known that Daqian had an invincible ship, so Newman was very vigilant.

He actually had a backup plan for the previous battle. A fleet of thirty high-speed warships had not been deployed.

In Newman's opinion, the only way to deal with this big ship is to use a high-speed warship to quickly approach it, and then find a way to board the ship and engage in hand-to-hand combat, otherwise there is no way to deal with it at all.

But now the Daqian navy has been defeated, and the large ships have not appeared.

This made him extremely confused and uneasy.

"Sir, perhaps the ship is not there at all, or perhaps it has run out of ammunition."

"I heard that the cannonballs from that invincible ship seem to be extremely valuable, and Daqian has been reluctant to use them."

The staff officer said after pondering for a moment.

“Well, that’s possible.”

"In that case, let's first annihilate the Daqian Navy and take Malacca."

Newman nodded.

Although he still felt something was wrong.

But I don’t have time to think too much.

The most important thing now is to capture Malacca City. Even if large ships appear, he has a high-speed fleet to deal with them.

Immediately, the combined fleet continued to accelerate and chase after the Daqian Navy.

But what happened next didn't go according to Newman's script.

When the Daqian Navy was about to enter the Port of Malacca, it suddenly turned southeast and did not enter the Port of Malacca.

"Damn it! Why did the Daqian navy escape? Did they abandon Malacca?"

Seeing this scene, Newman was furious.

"Commander, what should we do? Should we give chase?"

The staff officer asked.

"Divide our forces into two groups, one will continue the pursuit, and the other will capture Malacca."

Newman thought for a moment and said firmly.

The chase at sea took a long time. He couldn't be led by the enemy. The most important thing was to take Malacca first.

"Yes!"

Soon, the combined fleet split into two parts.

Some continued to chase forward, while others rushed into the port of Malacca.

At this moment, there was not a single ship in the port of Malacca, and it was obvious that all of them had evacuated in advance.

Newman was not surprised and immediately ordered the bombardment of Malacca City.

"Rumble..."

Along with the sound of cannons, huge shells hit the city wall with a whistling sound.

In an instant, the entire city wall shook violently, bricks broke, and debris flew everywhere.

At the same time, the Daqian defenders in the city also launched a counterattack.

Dozens of cannons on the city walls and dozens of cannons in two artillery positions outside the city fired at the same time.

In an instant, shells fell on the combined fleet like raindrops, and each shell hit the combined fleet accurately, killing and injuring countless people.

"Continue the attack and destroy the enemy artillery."

Seeing this, Newman roared loudly.

“Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~”

The dense sound of artillery fire rang out again, and endless shells flew out from the gun barrels and landed near the city walls and artillery positions.

In an instant, earth-shaking explosions broke out on the city walls and around the artillery positions, with dust and wood chips flying everywhere.

Thick smoke rose up, completely covering the city wall.

"boom!"

With another roar, the wall of Malacca suffered heavy damage and a hole was blown in it.

"Order the coastal defense artillery to open fire, hitting the outside first and sealing the exit."

Seeing that the enemy fleet had all entered the port, Ning Quan gave cold orders.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The personal guard beside him answered immediately and then went down to pass on the order.

"Hey~"

A minute later, the coastal defense artillery began to show its power, and more than ten shells were fired in a short period of time.

"Pfft! Pfft..."

"Boom, boom, boom."

The shells accurately hit several warships at the rear of the combined fleet.

The violent explosion overturned the warship, causing it to burst into flames, and even the soldiers inside screamed in pain.

"Damn it, this is a coastal defense gun."

Seeing this, Newman said in horror.

“Swoosh~Swoosh~”

As soon as he finished speaking, more shells came again.

"Boom, bang, bang."

In an instant, several more warships were sunk.

"Damn it! Retreat quickly! Retreat from the port."

Newman cursed loudly and ordered the fleet to retreat quickly, trying to get out of the range of the coastal defense artillery.

At this moment, he finally understood the horror of coastal defense artillery.

"Commander, we can't retreat. The exit is blocked by our sunken ship."

But now I think I'm done running, the staff officer hurried over and shouted.

"Damn it!"

Hearing this, Newman's face turned extremely ugly.

"In that case, we can only land by force."

Taking a deep breath, Newman gritted his teeth.

At this time he could only fight hard.

As long as we capture Malacca, even the coastal defense artillery will be useless.

At that time, he could also send troops to attack the artillery position from the road and seize the coastal defense artillery.

"Commander, how do we land? Our troop transports are all anchored outside."

The staff officer was surprised.

"If there are no infantry, then use marines to land."

Newman gave the order decisively.

"Yes, Commander."

……

A moment later, under intense artillery fire, three thousand sailors were dispatched and landed on the shore in transport boats.

Then the soldiers rushed towards Malacca.
