Be A Sultan In Another World

Chapter 25: English invasion 2 [Battle of Brest]

26-11-1805

After the battle of the southern duchy of holland in London province, the British now launched an attack on the French through the waters of the city of brest.

hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of troops were ready to disembark and invade the land.

Their armament now uses a kind of lever action, the, in the history of the world of the origin of this weapon only appeared in 1866 but thanks to the technological advances of the sundanese sultanate in infantry weaponry made the British focus a large budget in rifle experiments.

in the world of origin ahmad Rifle known as M1873 has a firing system that is almost the same as the bolt-action used sundanese sultanate but slower in recharge and closer firing range.

On one of the transport ships.

Lieutenant roger who was a baron and one of the mainstay officers of England was looking at the city fortress from a distance.

Occupying the city of Brest requires great effort, in addition to having a fortress around it also because of the geographical conditions of the city that favoured the defending parties.

The British certainly have prepared a plan for this but still, with a small possibility and high risk. They should be able to occupy the city of Brest which is the coastal city with the weakest defense of all cities in France. At least according to their intelligence.

"The city is quite large, their fortress is troublesome"

"Our lieutenant will be fighting soon, please meet your unit"

"Understanding the captain, children let's make these cheese-eaters feel the power of Great Britain!"

""Understand lieutenant!""

British forces began the attack, as troops were busily deployed from transport ships, small mortar-equipped warships carrying out coastal attacks.

"Fill mortar!"

"Mortar filled!"

"Enter gunpowder!"

"Mesiu powder is filled!"

"Foot!"

Booms!

Siiiuu

Duars!

The first mortar explosion was heard and the subsequent explosion mesulos.

British troops with high morale and zeal attacked the city of Brest, there were 30 mortar blows every 10 seconds causing a continuous chain attack.

French-made coastal defences received a heavy attack, with at least 200 fatalities from the initial 30-minute attack, very different from the sundanese sultanate in the battle of the southern holland duchy which only suffered 101 casualties until the end of the battle.

The French troops immediately returned fire, with the PDP-99 or pouvoir du peuple cannon-99 of 90mm caliber.

The retaliatory fire left huge splashes of water, small warships used for the opening assault were heavily hit by retaliatory strikes and ended up shipwrecked.

Large caliber cannons imported from the Sunda sultanate in the fort also began firing.

Booms! Booms! Booms!

Siiuuu Siiuuu Siiuuu

Duars! Duars! Duars!

Special ammunition shot caliber 105 that can explode on the surface of the water and land makes the French counterattack like hell of the world.

The British almost did not make a big explosion in coastal seawater, their troops paddled faster towards the mainland.

Some 23,000 troops had been deployed to capture the coastline, with the full force of the British re-attacking the mortar shell, this time using newly developed mortar and assaults on the city's bast fortresses.

French troops began to be pushed due to the lack of cannon ammunition, the city became a place with severe damage.

The 15-meter-high wall was almost useless against the new mortar of the English, easily penetrating the city wall gates and attacking the last layer of defense of the troops on the front line.

"Haha! We did it, admiral what's the next step"

"Relax major! We need to remember how the defeat of our troops when storming the south holland which became the territory with the weakest defense sunda sultanate"

"If Sunda moves to help the French then we won't be able to do much, the steel floating fortress they have can destroy our combined fleet from an incredible distance"

"Not to mention that we lost in terms of infantry weapons technology, look at those cannons. It only takes a few seconds to recharge and fire, with such a weapon it is more than enough to take over another country with the same technology as us, at least for now"

"I'm sorry admiral edward, but still this success leaves me with hope"

"Hahh, the point is that we must focus and not be fooled by the major hudsen trap"

"Understand admiral edward!"

On the side of the French troops, there were many troops that were pulled back, their strategy of decryption managed to make the British more aggressively attack the city of Brest.

Brest city center, temporary military headquarters.

"General luois, the enemy eats bait. Please follow orders!"

"Continue to plan 2, let's take a step back and let them take control of the city walls"

"Prepare ambush troops and granaders on the right and left wing of the city's defense"

"Execute general!"

the soldier then left, General Luois turned around and looked at the strategists behind him.

"do your duty to each one!"general louis' orders

"understand general!"answer the officers whom the general sees.

As in the plan the French troops slowly retreated into the city and the British managed to occupy the city wall.

It seems that the morale of the British troops is so high because they managed to seize the city wall of Brest, but they forget that France is not a country that they can underestimate since long ago.

"Captain tronberg! The enemy is retreating into the city, it looks like they're starting to rebuild the defenses there"

"Good, now come with me. We're going to break into their defenses and make them feel the rage of the British!"

"Long live the king!"

""Life of the king""

The troops led by the tronberg captain immediately advanced slowly, they tried as much as possible to take cover behind buildings or ruins.

But when they are only 12 meters from the French defense line, the, a bottle of oil was burning in the closed part of the cloth and separate gunpowder in a small bound bottle was thrown from the left aisle towards them.

"Damn! Take cover!"

Booms!

Most of the tronberg captain's troops died with burns and broken bottles in the upper body, the survivors immediately shot in any direction and made the building around them filled with holes.

Dor's! Ck clamps!

Dor's! Ck clamps!

Gunfire was heard and one by one the troops led by captain Tronberg were killed with a hole in their heads.

"Damn it! Troop retreat!"

Captain Penterte who saw the British troops retreat immediately ordered his troops to stop shooting.

"Stop firing!"

Soon a soldier came to see captain Penterte.

"Reporting Captain penterte, General louis orders the 3rd plan to proceed after the enemy retreats"

"Understanding, tell the general that the explosives are ready and can be used at any time"

"Execute captain, good luck"

"Haha, isn't that certain"

The French retreated, and this time they retreated into the woods around the city, setting up B-2 machine guns to strafe British troops.

By nightfall and the British were no longer on the offensive, the French retreated and only a few brave units were left in the city to activate explosives hidden in important places.

The next day the British again sent down an army of up to 60,000 men with full armaments and light cannons.

However upon entering the city they were shocked, deserted. That is the state of Brest today. There were some traces of explosions and some houses collapsed, there were also bodies piled up both the British troops and the English troops wearing french clothes.

British troops soon took control of the city and the town hall and the mayor's mansion with a flagpole fitted with a British flag.

The cheers of victory were heard, they were so happy to manage the enemy territory with only 1 battle but the higher-ups felt there was something strange because the battle against the French in the city of Brest was too short.

On the French side, about 26,000 French infantry and artillery troops were in the forest.

They were currently in a very good state to ambush the enemy but since the initial goal was to gather British troops in the city of Brest to annihilate everything at once they chose to hold back their ambitions.

For one week the British ships came and went from the city of Brest, all the ships that came were sailing ships with 24-pound cannons, they also sent armored steamships with 36-pound cannons as the main weapon.

04-12-1805.

Saint's palace***james****, London.

In London, King George III was in charge of documents and state affairs that collected one by one suddenly found by someone.

"Your majesty! There's good news!"

"Rovern?, what's good news?"

"Your Majesty, our troops have taken control of the French city of Brest! It's a misfortune that will seal our defeat against Sunda!"

The king, who was initially uninterested, was immediately attracted and looked at his servant in disbelief.

"What's? Really?!"

"That's right, your honor, I myself heard the talk of the top military officers before kamari, the report will also come after the glorious lunch schedule"

"Oh, thank you. You can go back to your place"

"Understand your honor"

On that day, the British military leaders celebrated their first victory.

Those who were initially skeptical could win because the weapons that the French had imported from Sunda even had weapons equivalent to them thanks to cooperation with Sunda.

However, what they thought was a mere trick to centralize British military power and destroy them all at once.

01-12-1805.

3 Days earlier, ahmad and general cakrajiwa visited Paris to attend a meeting with the head of friendly countries in Europe and discuss cooperation in the future.

National presidential palace, Paris.

in each carriage and car there are troops guarding, they all use the B-3 as the main weapon except for 8 classic car guards that use assault rifles, they were the guard units of the sultanate who were the best members of the best of the temple troops in terms of ability, physicality, and also experience and discipline.

after discussing the topic of rail projects approved by all parties and involving companies from their respective countries.

now the meeting continued with the problem of war strategy against the British, but they also prepared a strategy if the Russian empire, the Spanish kingdom, the Portuguese kingdom, and the kingdom of sardinia came and was on the side of the British.

this second meeting was really hot, officers and strategists from various countries came to express their opinions and provide the information they had.

the meeting with this second topic lasted until late at night with a break only when azan zuhur, ashar, magrib, and isya.

after devising various strategies the meeting ended and the audience in the meeting room dispersed and went to the foreign embassy house in Paris except for president Napoleon.

that night was a very long night for Ahmad, he did not expect the strategy that needed to be prepared would be very complicated and various considerations of several small things can make the strategy change.

Foreign embassy, paris.

ahmad was looking at the night sky of the French city, in accordance with the nickname as the city of light.the city of Paris was so bright even to the small alleys scattered all over the place.

"very beautiful, this city really spoils the eye when at night, although the Eiffel tower has not been built but the view of the city is full of light gives the impression of elegance"

"dah kota bandung is not lost anyway even better, but somehow being in the country people always make me this way"

"sad it's late, why haven't you slept?"said fatin iskandar, ahmad's first wife.

"no, I'm not sleepy yet, baby, after all, here is very different from bandung and I want to enjoy the night view of Paris first"

"hmm? isn't it more beautiful than Paris?"

"indeed bandung more beautiful, not even just bandung, all cities in the sunda sultanate are beautiful and have their own uniqueness"

"but unlike all those cities, the city of Paris 6 years ago almost arguably the city died because only the palace and the residence of the nobility were lit by candles"

fatin then hugged Ahmad from behind, he then leaned his head on the back of Ahmad.

ahmad only let his first wife hug, he each enjoyed the view of the city of Paris accompanied by a cup of warm coffee.

meanwhile, in bed, the rouning lying in his bed was looking at her husband and sister, he did not protest because yesterday was a spoiled turn but certainly for the problem of husband-wife relations they will do on Friday night simultaneously.
