"What!"

Wesley ignored the shock the machine gun gave him and looked towards the beach.

Sure enough, a forward force of approximately 5,000 men was coming towards their coastal trench fortifications.

"Stop the charge and move your troops to the flanks." Wesley said hurriedly.

The officer's expression suddenly changed after hearing this, and he reminded, "Admiral, they will be bombarded again."

"Yes, they did suffer heavy shelling and suffered heavy casualties, but if they lose their flanks, we will all die here. Now go fuck and follow my orders." Wesley yelled.

He felt like he was going crazy.

In the past, no matter how fierce the battle situation was, he could always adopt appropriate tactics on the battlefield.

But now, he felt that whatever he did was wrong, but he had to do it.

Just like the current charge.

Once they give up, the charging soldiers will die in vain, and the soldiers still fighting Dasong's army in the trenches will also lose support.

They were abandoned.

However, the officer still carried out his orders.

Many coalition soldiers were asked to enter the coastal fortifications that were riddled with holes by the Dasong fleet.

Some rifled field guns and howitzers were also transferred there.

When the coalition forces changed their deployment, it was just as Wesley expected.

Allied soldiers who rushed into the Da Song trench continued to die due to lack of support.

Half an hour later, the trench fortifications became quiet.

The soldiers of the Qinglong Army counted more than two thousand corpses, including the soldiers who died on the charge.

Wesley's order killed more than 4,000 Union soldiers.

In just half a day, more than 10,000 coalition troops died due to shelling and assault casualties.

The battle on the frontal battlefield was over, and both the coalition forces and the Dasong army focused their attention on the flank battlefield.

However, compared to the nervousness of the coalition officers, Qinshan and Guantong seemed to be at ease.

"I want to see how you choose." Qin Shan looked at the forward of the Suzaku Army and stood with his hands behind his back.

The flank attack is definitely a killer move against the Western-Turkish coalition.

If they defend, they will contact the fleet and continue the bombardment.

If they were not on guard, the flank fortifications would fall into the hands of the Suzaku Army, so they would charge in from the flank trenches.

Therefore, no matter what decision the other party makes this time, it will be wrong.

At the same time, he is also preparing to make the coalition forces worse.

They had charged just now, and it was their Green Dragon Army's turn to charge on the frontal battlefield.

However, now is not the time to charge. He will wait until the Suzaku Army launches an attack before ordering a charge, which will make it impossible for the coalition forces to take care of both.

After deciding this matter, he could watch the actions of the Suzaku Army with peace of mind.

At this time.

The 5,000 soldiers of the Suzaku Army formed a skirmish line and were only 500 meters away from the flank trench fortifications.

At a position of five hundred meters, five thousand soldiers stopped again.

After a while, a thousand soldiers continued to advance in formation of three and three, while the soldiers behind continued to wait.

As the distance goes from five hundred meters, to four hundred meters, to three hundred meters.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of artillery in the Allied trenches, and rifled artillery and howitzers fired in unison.

Solid bullets and explosive bullets fell on the beach.

At the same time, the coalition soldiers in the trench also pulled the trigger.

The soldiers of the Suzaku Army were always vigilant, and when they saw any movement, they got down one after another.

Because the beach slopes upward, the bullets did not fall on them but flew over their heads.

However, the coalition's explosive bombs still caused some casualties to the Suzaku Army soldiers.

These one thousand soldiers were originally intended to test the defenses of the coalition's coastal fortifications.

Seeing that the coalition forces had deployed a large number of soldiers and artillery, the soldiers of the Suzaku Army began to crawl back and evacuate.

Guan Tong has been paying attention to the soldiers' actions.

Frowning, he ordered the messenger to stand on the beach, signal in the direction of the battleship, and request artillery support.

"If we capture the flank, we will win. Support the Suzaku Army." Zhao Xu watched the flagman's flag.

Zhou Yi nodded and handed down the order.

Not long after, there was a roar, the battleship seemed to be shaking, and more than two thousand shells flew towards the coast again.

Suddenly, the coastal fortifications of the Western-Turkish coalition were once again covered by artillery fire.

After ten rounds of bombardment, the battleship stopped shooting.

The sound of artillery ceased, and the entire coalition's coastal fortifications were basically in disarray.

The entire fortification was covered with dense craters, and many trenches collapsed directly.

Not to mention the Western-Turkish Allied Forces hiding in the trenches.

The artillery and soldiers were destroyed at the same time, and there were only the miserable screams of the wounded soldiers on the entire position.

"General, are you still sending troops to garrison?" an officer asked Wesley with difficulty from inside the fortification.

Wesley said nothing, he hesitated.

The coalition forces had already killed more than 10,000 people. It is estimated that another three to four thousand people died in this shelling.

If they continue to send soldiers there, their casualties will reach more than 20,000 in just one day.

As for the coalition forces on the north side, the indigenous troops and them only numbered 120,000 people.

In this way, they could not hold on for even six days.

Thinking of this, he felt more desperate than ever.

"We can't stay here any longer. Evacuate to the second trench fortification." Wesley said suddenly.

They built a total of two fortifications, which were twenty miles apart.

This second line of fortifications was used to protect the evacuation of troops in the worst case of war.

Therefore, this fortification is located near the port on the north side of the Malacca Strait.

Originally, they thought that their reinforcements would be able to arrive without this fortification.

But they found out how wrong they were.

The Dasong army is really no longer a simple indigenous army, but a professional army that is more powerful than theirs.

Only by retreating to the second trench, and relying on the fire support of their warships, might they be able to continue to resist for a while.

Furthermore, the second trench fortification is far away from the east coast and will not be bombarded by the Dasong fleet.

Moreover, if the war situation continues to deteriorate, they will have no choice but to evacuate Malacca.

After all, Malacca is important.

But if the main force of the coalition was lost because of Malacca, who else would protect Tianzhu?

Withdrawing to Tianzhu, relying on Tianzhu's abundant resources and vast territory, and cooperating with Tianzhu's indigenous army, they may be able to persist for a while.

Once they can hold out until reinforcements arrive, they may be able to make a comeback.
