Just when Li Xiao encountered an identity crisis, Li Hu encountered a crisis of blood and fire.

According to intelligence, there are only a little over 20,000 troops stationed in Colombo, and the weapons and equipment are not advanced. Tamils ​​who are not Wu Sangui's direct descendants even still use old-fashioned firecrackers.

Li Hu was not afraid at all against such an enemy. Twenty thousand people in front of him were just twenty thousand piles of meat.

When Li Xiu's naval gun accurately hit the artillery position in the city, the enemy's artillery position was reduced to ashes amidst the thundering explosion. The city wall made of huge stones turned into pieces of various sizes under the bombardment of the battleship's main gun.

Pieces smashed into the sky.

Seeing the effect of the naval gun bombardment, Ruan Lai howled excitedly and rushed in with his men. Li Hu promised that if he captured Ceylon Island, his family could move here. The war-torn country

Death and disease accompany almost every family in Cochin, and it is indeed unfit for human habitation.

In the quiet street, you can see nervous and frightened eyes looking out from inside the door. The Tamil man leading the way shouted something all the way, seeming to ask the residents in the city not to be afraid.

The Cochin soldiers looked nervously at the surrounding streets. Colombo is the capital of the island of Ceylon. The houses facing the street are all reinforced concrete houses. It is rare to see the dilapidated wooden houses or bamboo buildings like Cochin.

This is a fairly modern city, and the streets are very busy. There is no garbage or sewage. There are drainage ditches on both sides of the road, covered with iron fences. You can also see blue trash cans not far away from the street.

Everything went smoothly, and the forwards were searching and advancing without resistance. It seemed that the Gurkha soldiers in the city were frightened by the shells fired from the battleships.

Until they saw a thick firework rising into the sky, followed by explosions one after another. Those huge trash cans were all filled with high explosives. The violent explosions almost shattered all the windows on the street. At the same time,

It shattered the hearts, livers, spleens, lungs and kidneys of the soldiers on the street.

Almost no one in the three-hundred-person commando team was hit by shrapnel, but without exception, they all fell into the smoke. Blood spurted out from their mouths and noses, and many people's eyeballs were knocked out, and their eyelids drooped beside their noses.

The place was filled with two bloody black holes.

Casualties occurred almost instantaneously. While Ruan Lai's ears were still ringing, overwhelming mortar shells were already falling.

Before they could issue any orders, Ruan Lai and his two hundred men were engulfed in smoke. Countless gunmen suddenly appeared on the streets, shooting from roofs, windows, street corners, and even crawling out of sewers.

Many Cochin soldiers were beaten like sieves by bullets before they even had time to fire. After a wave of bullets were shot out, grenades were flying in the sky. There were explosions one after another, and the screams of the Cochin soldiers mixed with the explosions were very tragic.

The house facing the street suddenly opened, and countless Gurkha soldiers armed with Gurkha scimitars rushed out. The Gurkha scimitars were gleaming with cold light, and every time they were swung, they would bring out a large amount of blood.

The smoke dissipated slightly amidst the fierce gunfire. Ruan Lai, who was in a pool of blood, saw his men being killed under the Gurkha scimitar and bleeding like rivers. Various severed limbs could be seen everywhere on the street, chopped off

The soldier with a broken leg screamed and crawled on the ground, leaving a shocking trail of blood behind him.

The soldier who had half his head cut off was mechanically twitching on the ground. His chest and abdomen were cut open, his intestines were spilled all over the floor, and he was crying and calling for his mother.

Through the telescope, Li Hu saw the Jiaozhi soldiers escaping like rats that exploded their nest. Most of them had no weapons in their hands, and behind them were shouting "Ouch" and "Ouch", waving Gurkha scimitars in their hands.

, the savage-like Gurkhas.

"You bastard!" Li Hu was itching with hatred. Ruan Lai patted his chest and told himself that the Jiaozhi soldiers were fierce and ferocious. They could face the most ferocious enemies without flinching, so it was most appropriate to give them the task of forward assault.

Gullible Cochin people!

A large group of Cochin people were overwhelmed by darkness and fled back to the port area like headless flies. Immediately, artillery fire from the city began to bombard the port area.

"Suppress the enemy's artillery fire, the Japanese are landing." Li Hu rushed into Li Hu's command tower like a madman.

"How do I know where to attack? All the artillery positions on the map have been erased." Li Xiu saw the smoke rising from the port area and smashed the table in anger.

Obviously, the Gurkhas in the city have been prepared for a long time. Someone leaked the news that the smooth progress from midnight yesterday to this morning was all an illusion. What they want is for Li Hu's troops to land. Now more than 10,000 troops have landed one after another.

People, once the landing operation is terminated, these more than 10,000 people will be considered to be on the island of Ceylon.

Although these were Japanese, Koreans, and Jiaozhi people, Li Hu did not want his future to be given up like this.

"Now we can only rely on airships." Fortunately, Li Xiu followed up.

The airship swayed its huge body and approached the shore. From a high position, you can always see many things that cannot be seen on the ground.

The cannon equipped with tracer bullets continuously fired at some places in the city. The calculation soldiers on the battleship made quick calculations, and then reported the shots to the turret as quickly as possible.

Soon, the main gun on the battleship fired again. Wherever the tracer bullet landed, a large plume of thick smoke would soon rise from that place. Warships never carry giant bombs for aviation. Firstly, they dislike the trouble of hoisting, and secondly

I hate taking up space.

The huge shells of the main gun take up enough space, but there is no room to put the big bombs for the airship.

Now Li Xiu regrets that he did not bring the big bomb used by the airship. Otherwise, the effect of bombing directly with the bombs on the airship is likely to be better. But there is no way, he did not expect it at all.

If it were Li Xiao's command, he would definitely bring aerial bombs. In this era, no one understands the role of the air force in future wars better than him.

Unfortunately, the airship is not an airplane, and its speed alone greatly reduces its effectiveness. In this case, it may be better after replacing it with a new gasoline engine, but it still cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

The defeated Jiaozhi people were miserable because they met the Japanese war team. More than a thousand people stood in two rows, with densely packed black holes pointing at the soul-lost Jiaozhi people.

"Aim! Shoot!" The moment Tokugawa Nobuo's samurai sword fell, more than a thousand rifles fired at the same time. The Cochin soldiers who ran back desperately were beaten to pieces.

"Aim! Shoot!" He quickly completed unloading and reloading, and more than a thousand rifles fired again.

Bullets were flying in the air, and the blood of the Cochin soldiers was flying in the air. The frightened Cochin soldiers turned around and ran back. Behind them were Gurkhas holding Gurkha scimitars.

Ka people.

"Who told them to do this? There are two to three thousand people." Li Xiu looked at Li Hu with wide eyes when he saw the situation on the shore. Li Hu could do such a wicked order.

"What do you want me to do? I can't give an order like this that forces people to die. These two or three thousand people are scared out of their wits. It would be good for them to stay and work as civilians. Just kill them like this, it's a waste of bullets."

"...!" After hearing Li Hu's reasons, Li Xiu was speechless.

"It must have been Tokugawa Nobuo. They Japanese people have that tradition." Li Hu shrugged helplessly.

Li Xiu selectively believed Li Hu's reasons. Life and death on the battlefield were ordinary things, but such an environment showed the value of human nature even more.

"It's okay. The two younger brothers Li Xiao have a lot of ruthlessness. It's a pity that his elder brother doesn't have this ruthlessness. Otherwise, I would have been a target of a gun." Wu Sangui said in a bunker on the hillside next to Colombo.

He put down the telescope and nodded affirmatively.

"The people who are attacking this time are the Jiaozhi people, and those who are supervising the battle are Japanese people. Why didn't Li Xiao send his direct descendants of the Liao army over to bring in these miscellaneous forces? The fight will not be satisfying." Wu Laohei put down the telescope, and his tone was quite disdainful.

.

Taking a look at this old family member brought over from the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui understood his thoughts very well. Over the years, Wu Laohei worked hard to train these Gurkha men in order to compete with the Liao army. As a soldier, he is famous all over the world.

The Liao army in the first army was full of dissatisfaction. At the same time, they were also quite dissatisfied with Li Xiao for imprisoning Wu Xiang.

"You still don't understand Marshal Li. The lives of the Ming people are just fate in his eyes. These foreigners are not human beings in his eyes. In this kind of war, it is impossible for him to send direct descendants of the Liao army

Come here. His idea is that if all 50,000 people die, it will be no problem. As long as he can capture Ceylon Island, human life is not a problem in his eyes." Wu Sangui boasted that he still knew Marshal Li very well!

"You mean...! Marshal Li has guessed that the person you sent to the Ili Valley is a fake substitute?"

"Probably not. Actually, spies can't be swept away too clean sometimes. This is the reason why I haven't let your second son catch all Li Yongfang's men all this time. Spies can really be dispatched sometimes.

Useful.

Ridiculous, these people bribed the Tamil people and spied on intelligence everywhere. They even sold false information to me. Do you really think I was taken advantage of? This time, they will eat 50,000 people like Li Xiao. Let’s do that.

Li Xiao suffered a huge fall. See if so many people died, the Japanese and Jiaozhi people could still support him as before.

I guess! It was because Li Xiao received the news about me in the Yili Valley that he released his two brothers. Alas...! This is also thanks to our people in Daming passing the information. When he knew that Li Hu was preparing to do this

When we were a team, I knew they were targeting Ceylon.

The Island of Ceylon is right on the edge of India, and Colombo is only a day's flight from Mumbai. If they were allowed to occupy Colombo, I would be a fool."

"Master! They have almost bombed our fake artillery position, and they will probably launch the next round of attack soon."

"Hmph! A few firecrackers and a cannon made of wood frightened them. They deserve it. One shell of the battleship's main gun costs five hundred Ming silver coins. I'm afraid it will cost tens of thousands of silver coins to defeat this one.

Right." Wu Sangui looked at the smoke rising from the city and said with a bad smile.

"No more!" Wu Laohei followed Wu Sangui and smiled evilly.

"You can rest assured to fight here. The lost troops will be replenished at night. Best of all, the Ming Dynasty's fleet will come to cut off the sea route between Ceylon Island and India. I have filled the channel with mines. If I can blow up two ships

Ironclad ships, that would be very profitable.

Colombo, just slowly fight them, they will never be able to do it with manpower. There are more than 100 million Indians behind you, I will use them as you please."

"Master, why don't you drive them into the sea at once?" Wu Laohei was a little confused. With his power on Ceylon Island, he could directly launch a counterattack tonight and drive the Ming people into the sea.

"They have only come up with more than 10,000 people. Now you have bombed the port to prevent them from landing. You have kept more than 10,000 people, but the people floating on the sea have escaped. Now you have to contain Li Hu

And Li Xiu, don't let them have a chance to escape. This time, your young master, I want to make a roll.

It would be damn awesome if we could catch Li Hu too!"

"I understand, young master, what you actually want to do in this battle is drag Li Xiu and Li Hu here all the time. You want them to stay, and you can't just beat them away. You should clear up this matter in advance, otherwise you won't be able to do it in the morning.

So many rocket launchers will be lost."

"The rocket launcher is not a problem. I will replenish ten for you tonight, plus five thousand artillery shells. There is an arsenal on the other side of the river. If Li Hu and Li Xiu want to get supplies, they have to return thousands of miles to Singapore. We

Here, the energy consumed can kill the Li brothers."

"I feel relieved because of your words. Just look at it! I guarantee that Li Hu and Li Xiu will lose their hands and feet." Wu Laohei patted his chest and assured Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui did not doubt Wu Laohei's guarantee at all. In fact, when he lost the battle of Singapore two years ago, Wu Sangui had already thought that Ceylon Island would be Li Xiao's next target. From then on, he

Just run the city of Colombo secretly.

Under Wu Sangui's care, the reinforced concrete buildings in Colombo were second only to those in Mumbai. All government buildings were built very solidly. Moreover, every building had shooting holes. Many shooting holes were opened close to the land.

Shooting from here is almost impossible to guard against.

The buildings facing the street are generally tall. In addition to isolating the vision, throwing grenades from above is also a nightmare for the enemy on the street. What is even more terrifying is that some bricks on the street can be pried up. There are reserved burials underneath.

Just put the mine on the hole.

As long as someone accidentally steps on that floor tile when passing by, the lightest consequence is that the person loses a leg.

As for the explosives on the roadside, they are even more deeply hidden. What looks like a wall has actually been reserved in a square hole. There are explosive packets inside. As long as Li Hu's soldiers appear nearby, someone will detonate the bomb.

.

A bomb carrying a large amount of iron sand and steel balls exploding would definitely be anyone's nightmare.
