The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

In the forecastle of the Federal Fleet, [Iron Blood], Muller looked at the naval port ahead with a solemn expression, sweat already seeping out of his temples.

A moment ago, Mueller chose to walk out of the bottom cabin and came to the forecastle. Although his soldiers were trying to persuade him, Mueller still came here regardless of his safety.

This was not entirely a risky move, and Mueller came to the forecastle only after careful consideration.

Firstly, the enemy's shelling has been significantly weakened compared to the beginning, and the outer frigates have shared most of the shelling, so the danger here has been much smaller.

Secondly, as the war progresses, the current battle situation must be witnessed with one's own eyes as soon as possible, so that one can find the opportunity to defeat the enemy. If one stays in the bottom cabin waiting for the sailors to pass on the message, it is very likely to delay the opportunity to fight.

The order to advance towards the naval port was the decision Muller made after he went up to the forecastle and saw the current battle situation.

But this order was definitely not made because the enemy's firepower was weakened and their side had the upper hand, so they wanted to complete the landing in one fell swoop.

On the contrary, this was a decision that had to be made because our side was at a disadvantage and had fallen into an extremely severe war situation!

The "severe battle situation" does not only refer to the fierce bombardment of the military port, but also the geographical location of the current fleet!

The fleet is now located only 3 nautical miles away from the naval port, which is near the coast of Daqian and extremely close to the long coastline. If the fleet is only facing the artillery of the naval port at this location, Mueller will not feel that it has fallen into a "serious battle situation."

What he was worried about was the Daqian fleet which had not appeared since the war started.

What happened at this moment was beyond everyone's expectations. The Qian people conservatively estimated that they already had thousands of cannons. The ships they had patrolled near the coast before, as well as the warships that Luwang saw at the port, must also have a certain level of strength.

Without thinking too much, Muller knew that the Qian people must still have a fighting force at this moment, and that is the Daqian fleet that has not yet taken the field!

——If I were a Qian, how would I arrange this fleet? When would be the best time to go into battle?

Mueller thought that they would probably send a fleet to sail from somewhere and attack from the sea behind after their side suffered heavy losses from the bombardment of the naval port. In this way, they would be attacked from both front and back. Then all the warships and soldiers trapped in this sea area would suffer unbearable artillery attacks.

Should such tactics be considered bold or overestimating one's own capabilities?

Mueller can't be sure because the battle is not over yet.

But at this moment, he felt a chill in his heart.

This strange country has completely changed his perception, and Mueller can be very sure that the planner of this battle is definitely an ambitious guy.

His strategic goal from the beginning was not to guard the port, but to use the military port as a trap, to lure everyone here between the real and the fake, and then to use a strategy of catching them all in one fell swoop, dragging everyone into the vortex and making it impossible for them to escape.

But this sinister tactic also has loopholes.

Lucat of the Rose Fleet had already led the fleet to evacuate first. They had not suffered any artillery attack, which undoubtedly meant they had escaped from the enemy's deployment.

Although he was angry about Lucat leading the troops to evacuate, Muller had to admit that as the marshal of the Rose Fleet, this young man did have an extraordinary sense of the battlefield, and his leading the fleet to evacuate was definitely not a bad decision for Shenglu Kingdom.

And this is not the first loophole that has appeared in Daqian.

The second loophole in their tactics has appeared, right at this moment!

In the forecastle, Mueller shouted: "Forward!"

"Don't be afraid of their fire!"

"Get to the dock as soon as possible and conduct a landing operation!"

The Daqian fleet will surely appear on the sea behind him. Muller knows that it is only a matter of time. But since they have not yet come from the sea, they must first complete the breakthrough of the military port before completely forming a two-sided siege tactic!

And now, under the bombardment of the entire fleet, the firepower from the naval port has obviously begun to weaken. This is the signal of victory, and this is also the loophole of Daqian's tactics.

If their tactics are to be successfully implemented, the naval port used as bait must be strong enough to ensure that it will not be captured. However, if this place is breached, there will be no way to attack from both sides, and they will face an irreversible situation. Therefore, although their tactics can achieve great results if successful, they are also accompanied by huge risks during the implementation stage.

Of course, the strategy of seizing the military port by force is also accompanied by huge risks, because it means cutting off the retreat.

If they did not attack the military port, they could just retreat before the Daqian fleet arrived from the sea. Although this would make the trip a failure, it would not lead to a situation where the entire army might be wiped out.

For example, at this moment, choosing to withdraw troops at this time will definitely reduce casualties, but advancing towards the military port will continue to increase the risks and become uncontrollable.

Advance or retreat? For Mueller at the moment, this has never been a choice.

If you are facing an enemy that is too powerful to fight, then you should retreat. However, the enemy's loophole has appeared before your eyes. This is the opportunity to win. Even if this also comes with huge risks, since the opportunity has appeared, as a man, and as an imperial soldier -

You must face the challenge head-on, either defeat the enemy or die like a man!

At Muller's call, the federal fleet marched towards the military port dock with an indomitable momentum!

The friendly Lieyang Fleet also provided powerful fire cover at this moment. All the warships were facing the shells fired from the naval port. Regardless of the damage to the hull, they fired one shell after another, bombarding the naval port fiercely.

-

At the end of the You hour, the blue sea and sky were gradually devoured and swallowed up by the extending night.

But the sky is cloudless during the day, and the coming of night does not make the sky dirty, it is still clear and bright.

Moonlight replaced sunlight and shone on the sea. Gray smoke still filled the sea on the shore. The artillery battle continued. The federal fleet was less than 1 nautical mile away from the dock.

It was not that they were sailing slowly, but as they got closer to the port, the powerful shells they faced became more powerful and the damage to their ships became more serious, so they needed to constantly replenish their warships from the inside in order to form a battle line.

Mueller, who had returned to the bottom cabin from the forecastle, had a solemn expression on his face. He knew what kind of damage was approaching the port, but since such a huge price had to be paid, it was time to complete the landing operation plan.

Mueller has full confidence in his land forces. In land battles, they can unleash far greater combat power than in naval battles.

At this moment, with a burst of hurried footsteps, the scout hurried into the cabin.

"How is the battle going?" Muller asked in a deep voice.

The soldier wiped the sweat off his face and said breathlessly: "The artillery attack from the opposite side is increasing. It seems that they have taken out all the shells. They are trying their best to prevent us from landing!"

Mueller nodded. This was a change he expected.

Daqian knows the importance of the port, so they will defend it at all costs, but their artillery attack will not last long. It is just a last-ditch struggle. When this round of artillery battle is over, they will surely fall into a slump.

"By the way, Marshal, there is one more thing," the soldier said again.

"What's the matter?" Muller asked with a frown.

-

In Nangang City.

The sound of cannon fire started in the afternoon and never stopped until nightfall. Such a scene made the people in Nangang City tremble with fear. Everyone was terrified.

More than half a month ago, they listened to a stirring oath of war against all nations at the execution ground of Nangang Wharf. But when those foreign countries really came to the country, it was impossible for people not to be nervous and uneasy.

Therefore, the people living near the dock had already evacuated far away. They spent a thrilling afternoon in the artillery fire. Now that night has fallen, their fear has become even stronger.

Regardless of whether they are on the advantageous side in this battle, any battle close to them is enough to make people nervous.

So at this moment, what can comfort the anxious heart?

In the houses and on the streets, all the people who were concerned about the war in the port direction raised their heads and looked at the night sky above the naval port.

What caught their eyes were spots of light.

They float up into the night sky, carrying faint light and heat, flying towards the deep night sky.

Those are things that every Yan countryman is extremely familiar with. They have a history of thousands of years. When they were first invented, their function was to transmit information.

Later, it gradually evolved into a situation where people would light them up with the meaning of praying and making wishes during major festivals, and then let them rise up to the night sky devoutly until they completely disappeared above the sky.

This is a beautiful thing that only the people of Yan Country can have.

No one dares to give an absolute answer as to whether the wishes and blessings will be responded to, but when you release the sky lanterns in your hands and watch them float into the night sky, you will always feel peaceful in your heart.

Now, in this deep, gloomy night filled with the unsettling sound of artillery fire, the hundreds of sky lanterns flying from the naval port into the night sky do convey a sense of peace to the lights of thousands of homes.

This is even more of a signal.
