As the torch swayed brightly, Yue Yun looked at the map intently.

The name of the area they are planning to capture is now called "Lion City" in Malay, and was once affiliated with the Sultan Kingdom of Malacca. Thirty years ago, the British occupied this place after they arrived here and controlled the throat of Asian routes. At the same time, they gave this place a new name, called Xinjiapo, also known as Xingcheng or Xingzhou.

"General, the Johor Strait has been blocked by us. It has become an isolated island and can launch an attack at any time." Liu Chen said.

In a strait that runs through the north of Singapore, this strait completely separates Johor from Singapore. Strictly speaking, this Singapore is an independent island on the sea. Before the attack, they analyzed the situation in Singapore and learned some news from the Chinese here.

After comprehensive consideration, they decided to land from the south coast of the Johor Strait, and attack from south to north to the Singapore Strait, and completely control the place because perhaps out of confidence in the country of Johor, the British sons arranged few shore defense guns on the Johor side.

"Occurrence, take this place before dawn."

Yue Yun said coldly that in order to control this important waterway, they crossed nearly two thousand kilometers and suffered enough on the sea.

"Yes, general." Liu Chen responded.

With his order, Marines rushed towards the city of Singapore, located in the middle of the island.

Similar to the Great Yu Kingdom, the dynasties around the South China Ocean also use cities as settlements. The environment here is primitive, with many miasma, poisonous insects and wild animals, and scattering is a very dangerous behavior.

It is also because of this characteristic that colonists can easily plunder and control the land here.

"Boom boom boom..."

The cannons roared, and the Marines' field cannons made a deafening and terrifying sound in the dark night. As a result, sparks emerged on the walls of Singapore City.

Under the fierce bombardment of artillery, the gate of Xinjiapo City was first exploded, and soldiers from the Great Yu Kingdom took the opportunity to rush in.

What surprised them was that the Singapore City's defense against the enemy was too loose and it seemed that it did not think it would be attacked.

Governor's Office in Singapore.

Ferion suddenly woke up from the bed, and looked at the flames outside the window and suddenly turned from head to toe.

"What the hell is going on? Did the French call?" Ferion asked himself in his heart, and then he shook his head and denied the possibility.

The United Fleet has just been established, and the French will not launch sneak attacks. After all, France and Britain now have the same interests in Asia.

Looking for possible enemies in his mind at a rapid pace, Ferreon put on his clothes and came outside the Governor's Mansion.

Because of the huge movement, the city is now in chaos and soldiers are running out of the barracks to assemble.

"Governor Ferion, the enemy was attacked from the north, and I have mobilized soldiers to deal with it." A British officer saluted Ferion.

"Who is the enemy?" Ferion asked anxiously.

"I'm afraid they are soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom, because each of them has black hair and yellow skin. Only they have such ability in Asia." The officer said in a deep voice.

"Damn it, when we were about to kill them, we didn't expect that they were sure to kill us!" Ferion was furious. Originally, the defense of Singapore City would not be so weak, after all, they were still wary of France before.

But the union with France made them completely relieved and relaxed their spirits, and this negligence was fatal enough tonight.

"How many of them are there?" Ferion asked again.

"I don't know, but one thing is certain is that there are more than us. We have only four thousand troops here." The officer said worriedly.

Ferreon narrowed his eyes, "That's true, but we have two thousand soldiers equipped with Downton muskets, let them get on!"

"Yes, Governor." The officer turned and left.

The Downton muskets that Ferreon mentioned were the new muskets transported from the UK. These muskets used steam engines to create rifles during the manufacturing process, and were combined with conical bullets.

The combination of the two advantages greatly improves the range, power and accuracy of this rifle. After equipping with this musket, he has experimented with its effects, which makes them very satisfied.

"Tait..."

Shortly after the officer disappeared, a neat footsteps came, and the red-shirted army carrying the Downton musket trotted towards the city gate. After a while, dense gunfire sounded in the city, and the counterattacks of the red-shirted army rang out.

Ferion breathed a sigh of relief at this time. For him, the Redshirts' combat effectiveness was excellent, and the Downton Musket would be even more invincible.

He was confident that the army of the Great Yu Kingdom, who had no idea where he was roaming from, would soon be destroyed, just as they defeated other countries in Europe.

North City.

The Marines' smooth attack suffered setbacks when they advanced to the central part of the North City. The unprepared Marines were caught off guard by the Redshirts equipped with Downton muskets, and the soldiers attacking the front were injured and suffered heavy casualties.

"This is a cone bullet!"

Liu Chen picked up a bullet that hit the wall with a serious expression. The bullet looked no different from the bullet loaded in their paper-shelled bullets.

"Oh no, it seems that the British have partially equipped rifled guns similar to Zhenglu rifles." Yu Yongliang followed Liu Chen to protect his safety.

Liu Chen nodded solemnly. They knew the performance of this rifle very well. It can be said that this rifle cannot shoot in any posture except for its slow loading speed. It is not too far from the current Falcon rifle in terms of power, accuracy and range.

They have the advantage in shooting within three hundred meters, but the advantage will not be one-sided crushing.

"Let the soldiers stop charging head-on, shoot with obstacles, advance forward in the straggler line, and pay attention to taking tactical actions to avoid danger."

Liu Chen decisively ordered a strategy suitable for the Falcon rifle. Since equipping the Falcon rifle, tactical actions against the use of this breech gun appeared in the subjects they trained.

Crawling forward, kneeling shooting, and lying shooting, these are all shooting postures that adapt to the appearance of breech rifles. Using these shooting postures, they will gain an advantage in the war.

Yu Yongliang responded and immediately took his soldiers through the buildings and conveyed Liu Chen's orders one by one.

At the same time, they began to fight with the Redshirts during the movement.

Because it was in the city, the Red Shirts could not set up a large column. They dispersed the soldiers and fought against them in groups of fifty people.

After understanding the weapons used by the Redshirts, they naturally would not be so stupid as to fight hard. They used obstacles and gaps to shoot in the Redshirts from time to time.

Some soldiers saw a team of redshirts coming, and looked for obstacles to lie on the ground and shoot at the redshirts. This made the redshirts, who were used to queuing up and shooting, and for a moment they were in chaos.
