"Fire! Fire!! ”

"No! Gotta stop! The cannon body is already overheated!! ”

"How stupid are you! Don't we have a water hose? Immediately pour cold cannon pipes on Lao Tzu! Don't tell me that you haven't learned these things!! ”

"It's already watering and cooling!!"

……

"What's going on with machine gun table three? How did the ceasefire come about!? ”

"The barrel is overheated, and if it doesn't cool down, it will explode!"

"Didn't he have a spare barrel? Change! ”

……

"Shoot the arrow, release the arrow! Pay attention to the rhythm of changing boxes in one row and two rows, don't you let the two rows shoot the arrows in the box at the same time! The people who retreated hurriedly went to the back to get the arrow box!! ”

"Dio, my crossbow string has broken!"

"Get out of here and change the bowstring! Don't block the firing position!! ”

"Spring Thunder Arrow Gathering Fire! Destroy the siege equipment in front!! ”

"It's pressed up! Bombardier ready!! ”

……

In the face of the crazy enemy army that was pouring up like a tide, the soldiers at the head of Yangon City gradually fought a real fire. The shells were blasting out of the chambers as if they were not fatal, the musketeers were simply aiming indiscriminately after changing the ammunition, and the hand-cranked Gagrin erected on the city wall did not know that the overheated barrels had been replaced several times.

And the crossbowman with the largest base, under the desperate release of arrows, shot a dense rain of arrows, nailed to the ground almost impossible to find a palm-sized piece of land without arrows. Because the frequency and intensity of the arrows are too high, I don't know how many people's arm muscles have been numb and swollen, and the crossbow that has been pulled off the crossbow string is even more impossible for the repair personnel to repair.

In short, the battle was quite fierce, from the dawn of the morning, the two sides were already in a daze until noon, Chen Li's soldiers in Yangon had also repelled several attacks by Guishan, and the city of Yangon, also left countless corpses of Guishan soldiers.

The repeated attacks were frustrated, and it was noon when the temperature was the hottest, and the Guishan side had to recall the troops for rest, and Chen Li also hurriedly asked the soldiers to hurry up and eat and rest, so as to deal with the enemy's attack that would be launched later.

Now the soldiers are fighting bravely, but Chen Li still frowned. So far in the battle, the number of soldiers in Yangon has not been large, but the consumption of weapons, ammunition, and arrows has really made Chen Li's flesh hurt. It's not that Lu Ren is stingy and doesn't add weapons to Yangon, but that Yangon is far away after all, and Lu Ren's fleet has to pass through Southeast Asian waters, and then sail north for a long distance after leaving the Strait of Malacca to reach Yangon, so there will always be some trouble in adding some things.

This is also the foundation that has finally accumulated over the years, which should have been enough according to Lu Ren's calculations, but who would have thought that Guishan would actually play with firearms? In order to suppress the firearms in Guishan and not cause big losses to himself, Chen Li had no choice but to use his own firearms for counter-suppression. In this way, the consumption rate of inventory naturally far exceeded Lu Ren's original expectations.

After roughly calculating the number of inventory, Chen Li couldn't help but feel a little bitter. Because if the intensity of the fighting continues, the ammunition stockpiled in Yangon will last for up to five days. When these ammunition are finished, the soldiers of Rangoon can really only defend the city in hand-to-hand combat. Don't say that in that era, the war was hand-to-hand combat, and if you take a serious look at the relevant historical materials, which country and which nation will have less medium and long-range attacks in the battle?

Therefore, what Chen Li hopes most now is that the vanguard fleet led by Gan Ning can arrive as soon as possible. Chen Li's military capabilities are relatively limited, and if he continues to fight like this, Chen Li is really not sure that he will be able to hold Yangon City.

was worried in his heart, but Chen Li didn't forget to raise his binoculars to monitor Guishuang's side, just while monitoring, he was still busy nibbling on steamed buns, which really made people cry and laugh. But there is no way, the soldiers in Yangon now are basically this virtue, and they have to hurry up to replenish their physical strength.

While watching, a herald rushed over: "City guard! A flag came from the (Yangon) fleet, saying that it had spotted a fleet approaching Yangon at a fast pace. ”

Yangon is a port town, and of course Lu Ren will hand over a fleet to Chen Li in case of accidents, but the scale is not large, and the total number of supply ships is only about eighty. After the start of the war, the ships equipped with artillery in the fleet also carried out supporting artillery bombardment on Yangon City, but because the Kushan side also had artillery, the Yangon fleet also suffered certain losses, and later because of the intensity of the battle, the ammunition on board the ship had been exhausted in a few days, and it was impossible to enter the port for ammunition supply, so now it can only be Youge in the coastal waters, either occasionally fighting guerrilla attacks, or being responsible for reconnaissance in the coastal areas, and Yangon City is generally talking in flags.

Chen Li's heart was overjoyed after hearing the news: "Is it the fleet led by General Gan?" ”

The herald hurriedly shook his head: "No! It's not the type of our Yizhou ship! to more like the Persian ship types of Sabbath and Kushan. ”

"What!?"

Chen Li immediately panicked, and then hurried to the seaside side of Yangon City. Speaking of which, Chen Li has been here in Yangon for many years, and because Yangon is the current exchange point of trade between the East and the West, there are often all kinds of ships docked here in Yangon, so Chen Li is very familiar with the ship formats of all parties, and at the same time, he has specially drawn the appearance pattern and sent it back to Lu Ren's hands. And after Chen Li rushed to the side of Linhai and stood on the high platform and raised the mirror to take a look, Chen Li almost dropped the telescope in a hurry:

"What the hell is this a warship over there! No way! When someone came, he immediately telegraphed to the lord and General Kam, saying that the resting fleet had arrived in the waters of Rangoon, and the artillery ammunition of the Rangoon fleet had been exhausted, and it was difficult to effectively intercept the resting fleet, so please General Kam speed up and go to aid Rangoon, otherwise Rangoon will be easily lost!! ”

This is definitely not Chen Li's fuss and fuss. In fact, it has been a long time since Lu Ren went to rest to assassinate Wan'er, but accidentally ran into Wan'er, and Lu Ren realized that the matter would not end so easily after returning to Yizhou, but because of the war in Liangzhou at that time, Lu Ren couldn't take care of the rest side, so Lu Ren gave Chen Li an order to let Chen Li pay attention to the movements on the rest side as much as possible, just like in the rest of the navy, you must pay more attention.

So after that, Chen Li paid great attention to the collection of intelligence on rest, and learned that there were no less than 100 warships that were launched in the past two years. Judging from the drawings brought back by the fine work, it is obvious that the ships resting are also equipped with artillery. However, it may be due to regional cultural differences, and the warships of the rest still have a strong Persian style, so you can see it from a distance.

Well, now the question is that the Rangoon fleet has run out of ammunition because of the artillery support on the sea a few days ago for the Rangoon city, and suddenly it ran into a resting battleship that was also equipped with artillery, what do you let the dozens of large and small ships of the Rangoon fleet use to fight the resting fleet? Rush up to fight the hook and then fight the hand-to-hand combat on the side? Believe it or not, before the ship approached, the resting battleship was sunk by cannon fire, and even by the other side came to a kite tactic?

Chen Li wanted to make the Rangoon fleet retreat, but this order really could not be given. As a guy who grew up in Yizhou, even if Chen Li's military ability is not very good, he also knows that once the Yangon fleet is evacuated, it is equivalent to handing over the seaside side of Yangon City to the other party, and then the resting fleet can occupy a favorable sea position to bombard Yangon City. To put it more bluntly, if you let the Rangoon fleet withdraw, it is equivalent to giving the other side an excellent artillery position. And if you think about it from this perspective, where does Chen Li dare to let the Yangon fleet withdraw?

I was struggling in my heart, but the Rangoon fleet called a flag, saying that it would launch a surprise attack on the rest fleet, the reason was that the current Yangon fleet still had the advantage of wind direction, and the rest of the fleet was not large, with only about thirty warships, if the Yangon fleet made a quick decision at this time and rushed into the opponent's formation with the advantage of the wind direction, although it may not be able to fight, at least the rest fleet can be entangled, and they will not be able to seize a favorable position that can be used to bombard Yangon City.

After receiving such a banner, Chen Li was silent. Chen Li still knew some things very well, so he knew that the Yangon fleet launched such a charge, and many ships were afraid that they would be sunk by the resting naval guns halfway through. And although the fleet handed over to him by Lu Ren is not large, if it is really lost, Chen Li will not feel good to explain to Lu Ren. But now, Chen Li really can't think of any other way, after all, once the Sabbath fleet grabs the position of shelling Yangon, Yangon City will be really dangerous.

Thinking of this, Chen Li couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart that it had always been the artillery tactics of Yizhou's naval ships playing with the sea and facing the land, but now it was the other way around, which was really speechless.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Li really had no other way, and besides, there was no time for him to hesitate on the battlefield. In the end, Chen Li simply gritted his teeth and ordered to reply: "Quasi-battle!" ”

————————————————————

The sails were full, the power of the steam furnace was fully activated, and dozens of ships that had run out of ammunition were closing in on the oncoming resting ships at their fastest speed.

Maybe at this moment, the Yizhou disciples in the fleet knew that they would have no return, but they didn't mind, but instead screamed and slapped the things around them. Whether it's hot-blooded or fanatical, if a group of young people don't have this momentum, isn't it too motherly?

The resting fleet did not know whether it was because the multiplier of the telescope was not enough or the ships themselves were not very perfect, and when they noticed that these ships were obviously coming up desperately, they did not react accordingly in the fastest time. It was not until the vanguard of the Rangoon fleet had rushed to a position of less than three miles that the rest fleet reacted and began to turn one after another, preparing to point the guns on the side of the side at the charging Rangoon fleet.

The Yangon fleet has the advantage of the wind upward, and with the steam propulsion on board, the speed is very fast. Although it was far from being comparable to modern ships, it could be said to be as fast as a wind at the time. It was like a small and medium-sized ship in the front row, and several of them had already penetrated between the resting ships before they were completely crossed.

The ships of the Rangoon fleet had run out of shells, but they still had some conventional weapons. Needless to say, bows and a small number of muskets are also necessary...... After all, it was in that era, and Lu Ren would definitely consider the occurrence of such a situation as a broadside engagement. And once there is a broadside engagement, these things will be of great use.

At this moment, the first few small and medium-sized ships to rush in were firing guns and crossbows and throwing bottles and bullets indiscriminately, and for a time they actually caught the rest fleet off guard. There were a lot of people who were shot by the arrows, and some of the more unlucky ships were either burned/burned/bombed on the deck and set on fire, or they were blown out of a large hole by a grenade thrown at them.

However, to be honest, the first few ships to rush in did not cause much damage to the rest ships, after all, the warships that came out of the rest side also had a very good level, so the members of the Rangoon fleet who rushed in first caused a certain degree of panic to the rest fleet. And the non-commissioned officers in the rest fleet were also trying very hard to calm down the crew and concentrate on the enemy, so it didn't take long for the attack of the vanguard ships to have little effect, and these ships were blocked, and then developed into hand-to-hand combat between the two sides.

But because of such a short attack, it bought a little precious time for the large ships of the Rangoon fleet to fight. Don't underestimate this little bit of time, it's this little time that the main battleships on the rest side didn't have time to fire crossfire. If it is fired horizontally by the resting capital warship, the fleet stationed in Rangoon will definitely suffer great losses immediately...... By the way, the ships at this time were still wooden, and the same was true of the fleet on Lu Ren's hands.
