Chapter 405: The fleet breaks through the East Gate

At the highest level of the Allied forces, it was Nguyen Dashu who was responsible for directing the battle between the East and West Gates.

The last naval force on his side was broken by the enemy in this way, and even if he saw it with his own eyes, he still found it hard to believe.

This kind of result was something he could never have imagined. When they drew up their plans, they thought that this clever plan of fire attack in a water battle, even if it could not win a big victory, would at least be able to block the enemy's attack and ensure that the other steps would be carried out smoothly.

Seeing Napoleon's fleet gathering the ships that were raising the white flag, he knew that the next blow would come to him. Since the waterway failed, it was only possible to compete on land.

Although Ruan Dashu was not afraid of any land battle, he still felt that his strength was too thin. The deployment of forces here is based on success or stalemate by water.

Therefore, he made up his mind not to go out of the city to meet the battle, but to use the city walls to block the enemy.

Then he sent someone to the commander-in-chief of this battle, who was Ruan Shiming, who was supervising the battle at the south gate. Then he mobilized manpower to strengthen the fortifications of the city, and prepared to fight the enemy to the death.

By this time, Napoleon had completed his surrender and refocused his attention on the capture of the West Gate, which had just been interrupted by the enemy's waterway ships.

According to the normal offensive procedure, now is the time for the Marines to show their skills. Napoleon had also ordered the armoured personnel carriers to move closer to shore in search of suitable landing sites.

Suddenly, little John and two other big fish crossed his body and struck at the riverbank, which was facing Simon.

Are they going to kill themselves?

This was in the minds of many soldiers who witnessed this strange phenomenon.

But after one hit. No one doubts.

I only heard the sound of a horn, and the seemingly solid river bank was lined up with a large opening, which was five meters wide and three meters long!

It turned out that they were going to open a new shipping lane.

, others don't know, but Mai Ke, who is watching the movement here, understands, because the underground river from Guigang to the Holy Mountain is the masterpiece of these Jonah fish.

Compared with that project, the short kilometer from the bank of the Saigon River to the West City Gate is a piece of cake for Zhang Fei to eat bean sprouts.

It is very open, and a river channel ten zhang wide and two zhang deep is dug out. The length is already 20 zhang. Napoleon gave the order, and the fleet began to follow.

Just now, Mai Ke had told him about little Jonah's plan -- to dig a channel that would allow the warships to come into direct contact with the enemy, so that the marines would not break away from the cover of the fleet and run to a kilometer away to face the enemy alone.

A one-kilometer route. It took about twenty minutes. It's all done. The results are very standard. It can be said that it is an artificial masterpiece. No, fishermen.

Napoleon's flagship took the lead and followed up the whole process. At the same time, it provides protection for the Jonah fish that are under construction. As soon as the enemy on the city wall shows his head. It was followed by a round of artillery fire.

Now Napoleon, the commander of the fleet, and everyone in the fleet, love these three big fish very much and regard them as treasures. They are not only their assistants, but also their saviors.

Ruan Dashu on the city gate did not have the same good mood as Napoleon. He insisted that he was depressed to death. Is there anything more tragic in the world than witnessing every step of the guide's own failure? These are all happening under one's own witness, but they can only be left to their own devices, and nothing can be done.

There is no choice but to wait for the enemy to reach the bottom of the city wall and fight the enemy. No matter how powerful your warship is, you can't be afraid of the city walls, right?

What especially boosted his confidence was that the commander-in-chief, Nguyen Thi Minh, sent a new force to support him.

Ruan Dashu knew that these people were from the general reserve, and because the situation here was too strict, they had to be used in advance. Originally, these people were used to take advantage of the victory and pursue when the last enemy retreated.

It's a pity that he is still too optimistic.

The waterway reaches the West Gate and is first connected to the moat. This moat, which was wide and deep, was originally a very impenetrable barrier for land attacks, and at this time seemed to have become a convenient condition for Napoleon's warships.

Ruan Dashu then woke up to the consequences of this moat!

There is a ready-made passage around the city, and the invaders do not yet think of where they go?

His first thought was to send messengers to inform the other three men of this important matter.

Just as he was distracted, something even stricter happened!

The siege he was expecting did not happen, but he felt the mountains shake for a while.

When he looked at the city, he was so frightened that he suddenly died!

Three big fish are slamming into the city gate and the walls on both sides of the gate!

This was followed by a louder shake, louder and louder.

Including Ruan Dashu himself, let alone resisting, he was afraid of escaping.

A terrifying scream came from Ruan Dashu's mouth, and he ran first, and the others looked left and right, and also shouted, and followed their commander.

About ten zhang away, Ruan Dashu first stood still, and the others slowly stopped, and then looked at the west gate where they were standing just now.

There is no Simon anymore!

In that position, there is a huge gap, and there is still a dust caused by the collapse that has not completely fallen away, giving people a trace of the memory that this was originally the city gate.

It was still more difficult to break through the city gate, and the three guys who seemed to have infinite strength were also tired at this time, so they rested for a while. But don't expect them to be honest.

I saw that little Jonah actually put his head on Napoleon's flagship, as if chatting with Napoleon. It used to be no less like Peter McKee. Napoleon seems to have turned into a toy that a child had been waiting for for a long time, and brought out all his delicious food to entertain little Jonah.

He took out his favorite bottled river of life, the four-season fruit plate, and the dessert after the meal, and little Jonah sniffed it, showing that he was lacking in interest.

It wasn't until Napoleon took out a bottle of high wine that it happily snatched it and drank it in one gulp.

Then, with a backward flip, beckoning the other two big fish, they resume their work.

The defenders here were either frightened and fled in panic, or they were stunned and their minds were blank, and they did not know how to cope with this state, or a very small number of people, neither running nor staying, were still shooting and firing arrows, and to no avail.

Losing the protection of the city gate, Napoleon's fleet drove straight into the largest city in Annam.

The disparity in strength was so great that the enemy's cunning tactics were ineffective, and in the face of Napoleon's mighty fleet, and under the pressure of the natural power of Jonah's great fish, the mechanism was useless.

Taking the capture of the West Gate as a turning point, Mai Ke immediately turned the defense into an attack, eating the enemies everywhere one by one. (To be continued......)
