Located in the Pauk Strait between the southern corner of India and the island of Shilan, it is connected with the Bay of Bengal in the northeast and the Bay of Mannar in the southwest, with a total length of more than 200 li and a width of 100 li at the narrowest point.

But there are intermittent islands in the strait that make up the Rama Bridge, with an average depth of only two to three meters and a maximum depth of only nine meters. Coupled with the fog in the early morning, the draft of the big ships on Yang Yi's side is more than four meters, and if it deviates from the channel during the battle, it is easy to run aground or run aground, in this case, Yang Yi's maneuverability has been greatly limited.

Jaffna, the leading general of the country, chose a good time and a good place. His small ships, shallow draft, and familiarity with the terrain made it possible to take advantage of the time and place.

The ships of both sides totaled more than 400, in the early morning mist, like two groups of tigers and wolves on the sea, constantly approaching, the sea waves undulating, the clear water was vast, the sails on the ship were blowing, the sailing speed had reached the limit, the drums on the ship were bursting, the swords were unsheathed, the bows were wound, the sabers were tense, and the murderous atmosphere was pervasive.

Yang Yi ordered to discharge three columns of strange combat formations, the big ships of the Yang family fleet were in the middle column, and the Sinhalese boats were protected on both sides.

Due to the special topography of the Pauk Strait, Yang Yi's giant ship lacked space for large detours, and the warships of Sinhala were always familiar with the terrain in this area, and the ship was shallow and the probability of running aground was small, so it was reasonable for them to protect them on both sides.

The warships of the Zhu Yuan Kingdom were in a formation similar to the plum blossom array, with twenty or thirty warships forming an array, and each array formed a large array that supported and attacked each other.

Le Tao used the telescope to watch the enemy's battle formation. While saying to Yang Yi: "According to our intelligence, there are no less than three hundred large and small warships that can be used for warfare in the Zhu Yuan country. Although the fog is thick, I have a rough estimate. Up to two hundred enemy ships ahead. ”

The two sides were about to fight, Le Tao was still unhurried when he spoke, and he seemed very calm, and Yang Yi was quite satisfied when he heard it.

"While we understand the enemy, the enemy must also understand us, and it can be seen from Jaffna's choice of the battlefield of the Baoxia Strait that he has a deep understanding of us and has made sufficient preparations."

"What do you mean?"

Rumble!

A cannon roar was heard, and a ball of fire erupted from the gunboat in front. A massive naval battle officially began, followed by several roars

Jaffna already knew that Yang Jiajun had a terrible weapon, but at this moment his scalp was still a little numb, two miles away, even the people on the other side of the ship had not been able to see clearly, only to see several tongues of fire on the enemy ship, hail-like iron beads crackling on his own ship, the sails were broken everywhere, and the wood chips on the deck were scattered. The soldiers who were shot had their skin and flesh open, and blood rained down;

The wounded rolled and howled on the deck, and one of the soldiers had his head blown open. The brains even splashed on Jaffna's face, and the smell of blood was disgusting.

Jaffna wiped his face, he had a big beard. Slightly pale, the wind and frost of the years carved deep wrinkles on his face. All his mood swings were contained in these wrinkles, and no one could see any changes in his expression.

"Stay in formation. Burn the wind. Jaffna gave a faint order, and remained silent.

Jaffna knew very well that the Yang Jiajun only had six gunboats, and now only by approaching as fast as possible and letting the warships of both sides get entangled together could they avoid the bombardment of the other side's artillery;

The slower the approach, the greater the price paid by one's own side, and once the other party washes out of the Baoxia Strait, after being able to maneuver flexibly, he will only be slaughtered. Perhaps this is what the Han people say: the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

Yang Jiajun's six gunboats rushed to the forefront, under the personal command of Shi Ran, constantly walking in a zigzag shape, basically every twenty seconds there will be a salvo of twelve guns, the artillery stuffed their ears with cotton, whenever the tongue of fire erupted, they shouted and pulled back the artillery, quickly pulled out the sub-gun in the barrel, stuffed another filled sub-gun into the barrel, locked, pushed out the cannon, fixed, aimed, and waited for the cannon order

They don't know how many times they have trained this set of movements, and it can be said that even if they are blindfolded, they can complete it accurately in addition to aiming.

As Jaffna's fleet approached, the hail of iron that rained down from the sky cost them dearly, leaving the ships with corpses strewn and wounded screaming, some of them losing too many people, and the ships lost control and drifted desolate on the sea, some stranded on the reef, and some collided with their own ships, causing a loud collision.

What is even more uncomfortable is that in this process, they are purely beaten, without the slightest ability to fight back, like a flock of lambs sent to the slaughter;

This is a fatal blow to morale, and Jaffna himself is also a chill in his heart, so that his hands and feet are a little numb, but he can't retreat now, no matter how big the price is.

Due to the fact that there were gunboats in the front to open the way, Jaffna's warships could only rush in at an angle of 45 degrees, and killed the Sinhalese warships on both wings.

As soon as the warships of the two sides approached, the rockets in the sky suddenly rose into the air, the sea seemed to have a meteor shower, the sound of war drums and shouts of killing resounded in the sky, the arrows fell into the sea, the blue water was soon dyed red, and the fish on the sea surface swam in groups to have a good meal regardless of the life and death of human beings

The warships of the Tuna and Sinhalese became entangled, making it impossible for the gunboats to exert their might again. Without the threat of artillery, the soldiers of the Zhuyuan country were all relieved, and their morale improved a lot. Many warships crossed the Sinhalese array and slaughtered the Yang fleet in the middle.

On the giant ship, the flintlock pistol suddenly burst out, the strong buzzing bullets, bullets, rockets whistling away, some enemy ships did not know whether they were alive or dead, they got closer, the giant ship swung the rudder, and directly ploughed through with the collision angle of the bow, and in the rumble, the enemy's small boat was smashed into pieces of wood, and the enemy on the ship howled and was swallowed directly under the giant ship.

What the hell! The mantis arm is a car, isn't it impatient to live!

And at this moment, in the mist in the southeast direction, a fleet suddenly came out, like Cheng Biting Jin, who was killed halfway, and killed Yang Yi's flagship, the ships of this fleet were not large, but they came with the wind, the speed was very fast, some of them fought with the Sinhalese warships outside, and most of them came directly to Yang Yi's giant ships.

Yang Yi held the monoculars and said with a smile while watching: "The show has begun, it seems that we are not the only ones who will behead the work!" As he spoke, he touched his neck and smiled. Letao, my head seems to be quite valuable. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, Prolari I can't afford it."

The battle on the sea is in full swing, there are flying rockets everywhere, and there is also the smoke of the fire and gunpowder from the explosion of grenades, and Yang Yi and the two can still chat calmly, all because they have been prepared for Jaffna's hand.

I saw thirty or forty flying shark speedboats rushing out next to the Big Mac, heading towards the enemy ship that was rushing straight to the flagship, and in the blue waves, these small boats were speeding against the water, just like a group of sharks suddenly appearing in the sea, worthy of its name of "flying shark".

Varina, the general who led the surprise attack of the enemy army, was a little at a loss, because these small boats that galloped out next to Yang Yi's flagship were not only extremely fast, the hull was long and flat close to the water, and there were iron sheets on them, so that the people on the boats could not be seen at all, making people feel that these small boats were like ghosts, and there was no need for people to drive them.

"Shoot fast, use rockets, lead them"

However, the rocket hit the iron sheet on the top of the dinghy, and immediately fell, which was of little use, and the white waves splashed behind the dozens of flying shark boats, passing through like flying, and as soon as they approached the enemy ship, the baffle next to it suddenly opened, and bundles of smoking, cluster grenades flew towards the enemy ship.

Rumble! Rumble! rumble

Dozens of ships led by Varina, in order to achieve a sudden and rapid goal, are not large, each ship must collect a bundle of grenades, in the violent explosion, shrouded in the smoke of fire, become a fluttering fireball, some directly disintegrate, become a pile of fluttering broken wooden planks, the blackened corpses of the blown up flew into the air, and then fell into the sea, splashing tom-tom and splashing waves.

Varina's eyes were burned by the firelight, and it hurt! It hurts! Dozens of assault warships are quickly turning into blazing torches, or directly turning into pieces of broken wood, and none of them can rush under the enemy's giant ships, how can such a tragic scene not hurt in the eyes? So much so that when he was blown up, he could no longer feel physical pain.

Yang Yi put down the binoculars and sighed very dejectedly: "The master is lonely!" ”

"Hahaha, if you are lonely, you might as well go back to your bedroom to listen to the piano, just leave it to the last general, Jaffna's last hole card has also been played, adults can rest assured."

", has Captain Ben ever worried? If a few grasshoppers can also make the captain of this ship fearful, what else can he talk about traveling all over the world and sweeping the eight wildernesses? ”

"Yes, yes, the last will be silent."

Yang Yi no longer paid attention to him, and shouted to the herald: "Pass my order, once Jaffna retreats, the gunboat will immediately pursue it with all its might!" ”

"Whoa."

The battle at sea is still fierce, but Jaffna is standing in front at the risk of huge casualties, just to create an opportunity for Varina to take the middle palace directly, and now that Varina is almost completely annihilated, I believe that Jaffna should also despair.

Even if he still wants to trap the beast and fight, how much will do his soldiers still have?

However, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and Jaffna wants to run, is it that easy?
