Tens of thousands of Belgian troops jumped out of the trenches and attacked Amsterdam, especially the elite infantry brigade under the 1st Infantry Army, the attack speed was very fast. Under the training of the officers from China, the soldiers' combat qualities have been greatly improved. The soldiers lined up to attack, and the heavy machine guns and mortars in the rear were gradually advancing. Once they encountered a counterattack from the Dutch, they would provide firepower support to the attacking infantry. In the previous battles, they used this method of attack to easily crush the Dutch Army's resistance several times.

"Attack! Invade Amsterdam and destroy the Kingdom of Holland!" The officers issued a loud order.

The soldiers rushed towards Amsterdam with rifles.

"Oh God! The Belgians are here. They are too powerful, and we are no match for them at all. Amsterdam cannot defend, so let's run away quickly!" The entangled Dutch Army showed fear in the face of the attack of the Belgian Army.

The regular army of the Dutch Army had almost lost in the battle in the previous few days. Now the people guarding Amsterdam are all the troops they just mobilized. Many people can't even shoot, so it's easy to imagine what the outcome will be like when they let them resist the elite Belgian army. If there were no accidents, the fall of Amsterdam was already destined.

Major General Camon, who was watching the battle in the rear, had a smile on his lips. This was the elite Belgian Army. A few years ago, he had never expected to lead such a powerful army. However, in just a few years, the Belgian Army was so powerful. This was completely beyond his expectations. In his opinion, the strength of the Belgian Army, even on the European continent, was at the first-class level.

Unfortunately, Belgium is a small country, and its territory and population are too small. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Belgium might also become a big country.

Lieutenant General Cecil, the commander of the Prussian army, was also paying attention to the attack of the Belgian army. If the attack of the Belgian army goes well, the Prussian army will also launch an attack. The glory of the destruction of the Dutch Kingdom cannot be enjoyed exclusively by the Belgians.

On LJ Bay, the British Navy's warships were anchored on the sea. One by one, the naval gun had taken off the cannon's coat and the thick muzzle. They aimed at the direction of Amsterdam. The gunners were loading heavy shells into the barrel, especially the 280mm main gun weighing more than 200 kilograms. This required the help of a crane to send the shells into the barrel.

"Order all ships to open fire!" The Belgian Army dared to ignore the warning of the British Navy and launch an attack on Amsterdam, which was simply provoking the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy will use the naval guns in their hands to clear these hot-headed Belgians.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The five dual-mounted 280mm main guns on the "Giant" battleship opened fire first. Then, the other battleships also opened fire one after another. For a moment, the guns roared on the LJ Bay, as if they were thundering.

Heavy shells flew towards the outskirts of Amsterdam. In order to ensure the hit rate, the British Navy specially sent observers to the shore to provide defense guidance for warships on the sea.

"Boom! Boom!" Dense shells fell from the sky, and orange-red fireballs rose on the ground. The power of naval guns is undoubtedly very terrifying. Every large-caliber naval gun shell exploded, which could leave a huge crater on the ground.

In particular, the 280mm shell was enough to leave a crater of several dozen meters in diameter on the ground. All the Belgian soldiers affected by the surrounding area were killed and none survived.

When the dense shells fell, it happened that the Belgian Army was less than two kilometers away from the Amsterdam city. These dense shells almost blocked the Belgian Army's way forward. Countless brave Belgian soldiers were torn to pieces during the dense explosion.

Faced with the British Navy's fearful shelling, the fragile human body of the Belgian Army could not resist at all. The momentum of the offensive was suddenly stopped. No matter how brave a person was, he would be afraid when he saw his comrades being blown into pieces and pieces of minced meat flying everywhere.

The sudden blow made the Belgian army attacking Amsterdam frightened. After paying great losses, the troops collapsed and fled back in a panic.

Major General Kamon looked at all this with a pale face. Of course, he was not the fault of the soldiers' timidity. He knew that any army would collapse when encountering such a situation. He was angry that this tentative attack had lost countless elite Belgian soldiers in vain.

"Oh God! The British's shelling is really terrifying! If they had been guarding LJ Bay, it would be almost impossible for us to capture Amsterdam!" Lieutenant General Cecil, the commander of the Prussian army, sighed. Although he was unwilling to give up like this, he would never let the Prussian soldiers attack with the terrifying British shelling, and that was simply to let the heroic army die.

The attack of the Belgian army was repelled, and the Dutch army guarding Amsterdam made a terrifying cheer, as if they had won the victory.

"Damn!" When Major General Camon got the loss report, he couldn't help but curse. In the previous attack, the Belgian army lost a total of 2,000 people. This is the reason why the front-line troops retreated soon. Otherwise, the losses would be greater.

After ordering the troops to be turned into defense, Major General Kamon hurried to the command of the Prussian Army to find a solution.

"Major General, I saw the attack just now. I have to admit that the Belgian army is very brave. However, our enemy is too powerful. The fragile human body cannot be compared with the naval guns. If the British warships were always in LJ Bay, we would probably have no choice but to Amsterdam." Lieutenant General Cecil said helplessly.

"But, Lieutenant General. If we do not capture Amsterdam as soon as possible, once the British reinforcements arrive, we will not be able to destroy the Kingdom of Dutch again. We will even be counterattacked by the British. At that time, we will have to invest more troops in the Kingdom of Dutch." Major General Camon said.

Lieutenant General Cecil hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Major General, you are very correct. But is there any way to resolve the threat from the British Navy to us?"

Major General Kamon frowned. The British Navy poses too great a threat to them. If this threat is not resolved, attacking Amsterdam will only cost them huge casualties.

"Lieutenant General, we may be able to launch an attack at night. At night, the British's naval guns will not be so accurate. At that time, we can attack the city of Amsterdam in the dark. As long as we can control Amsterdam, the British will not dare to act rashly. In addition to us, there are many Dutch people in the city." Major General Camon said excitedly.

"Haha, Master General, this seems to be a feasible solution!" Lieutenant General Cecil nodded repeatedly.

"Lieutenant General, maybe we can drive the British Navy out of LJ Bay!" Major General Carmon developed rich associations.

"What should I do?" Lieutenant General Cecil asked quickly. The British Navy has been staying in LJ Bay, which is undoubtedly a big threat to them.

"LJ Bay is too narrow, with more than twenty British naval warships crowding inside, which seems very crowded. It is not difficult for us to determine their location. At night, we can concentrate our cannons and launch artillery shelling on the British ships anchored in LJ Bay." Major General Carmon said.

"But the army's cannons are too small to destroy the navy's warships at all." Lieutenant General Cecil frowned.

"Yes, the army's cannons cannot cause allergic damage to the naval warships. However, we can cause certain damage to their superstructures. Even those small warships have the possibility of being sunk. We don't have to destroy the British navy, just let them feel fear and scare them away. In this way, we will win. In addition, when we shell out the British navy's warships, we can also order the army to launch an attack. Take Amsterdam in one go!" Major General Camon said.

Lieutenant General Cecil nodded: "This is a good idea!"

"Lieutenant General, then we have decided that the Belgian Army can provide four hundred cannons. Before midnight, all of these cannons will reach their designated positions!" Major General Camon said.

"Haha, Prussia can provide five hundred cannons!" Lieutenant General Cecil also said. The Prussian Army also attaches great importance to artillery. Each infantry division has dozens or even more cannons.

The Belgian Army and the Prussian Army immediately took action, and they secretly sent people to determine the location of the British Navy. Then they sent people to transport the cannons to places not far from the coast. In this way, it was possible to ensure that the shells were shot onto the British Navy's warships.

All of this was in secret preparation. The British Navy knew nothing about it. They were still immersed in the excitement of using devastating artillery during the day to easily repel the Belgian army. In their opinion, with powerful fleet guards, Amsterdam would never be compromised.

On the evening of August 23, 1854, the time to determine the fate of the Netherlands Kingdom came. At 11 o'clock in the evening, all nine hundred cannons assembled by the Belgian Army and the Prussian Army were deployed.
