Wu Sangui felt that there was something wrong with the Ming army on the other side, and since Li Xiu sent reinforcements for the second time, the Ming army did not seem to be in a hurry to attack Colombo City.

The Japanese soldiers began to clean up the Indian soldiers room by room, and found that one had killed the other, and the process appeared extremely patient.

And in Colombo, there are some gunners who are very good at archery. His Indian soldiers could only hide under the rubble and shiver, and if they were unfortunate enough to be discovered, they would be shot in the head.

These gunmen were very fond of smacking their heads, as if not doing so was enough to show their superior marksmanship.

The number of casualties has risen rapidly, from 1,000 a day to 2,000 or 3,000 a day. Half of the casualties came from ghostly gunmen.

"Li Xiao is here!" Wu Sangui looked at the battlefield in the distance and suddenly said something.

"Young Master! The subordinates have checked, and Li Xiao should be in Jinling now. Our men plotted a riot in the south and nearly killed Yang Sichang, the governor of Jiangnan. Hearing that Li Xiao was extremely angry, he ordered his first division to go down to Jiangnan again. Wu Laoer, who was in charge of intelligence, heard Wu Sangui's muttering and immediately explained.

"It's not your reason, I can make Li Yongfang think that I am in the Ili River Valley, and he can naturally make you think that he is in Jinling. It's a feeling, although I don't know if it's right. But I just feel that Li Xiao is here. Wu Sangui patted the sandbag of the bunker and said very firmly.

"Since Li Xiao is here, do you want to fight back. We have mobilized 100,000 people on the second line, and now the counterattack will definitely drive Li Xiao back to the sea, and maybe we can capture Li Xiao alive. Hearing Li Xiao's news, Wu Laohei's eyes immediately lit up.

Li Xiao can be called the god of war in the world, and if he can catch him, he will definitely be famous all over the world, and maybe he will leave a mark in the annals of history. Although he is only a slave of the Wu family, Wu Laohei is also a person with ideals and ambitions.

"Li Xiao's dispatch of troops looks like a ghost, but in fact, he fights steadily every time. I have carefully studied his various battles, and each time he fought unprepared.

His two younger brothers were a little younger, but they were different when he came. Now, our casualties are increasing every day. Moreover, judging from the observation posts, there was no substantial increase in the strength of the Ming army. ”

"Young Master! It can't be said that the artillery of the Ming army seems to have suddenly strengthened. And you find that no, there are always only two ironclads on the surface of the sea as support firepower. Where did the rest of their ironclads go? ”

"Maybe it's to escort the fleet back to Singapore."

"That's not right, there are obviously fewer supply ships of the Ming Army these days."

The conversation between Wu Lao Er and Wu Lao Hei made Wu Sangui frown. This obvious change in the battlefield, Wu Sangui also keenly felt it. These Ming armies used a new type of artillery, which was very powerful and accurate in explosives.

These guns were supposed to be a kind of curved artillery similar to mortars, since their own men did not detect artillery positions, but the front was always accurately attacked by artillery fire.

The only possibility is that this kind of cannon is arranged behind Baozi Mountain, the top of the mountain of more than 100 meters, which has now become the key to the battlefield.

Wu Sangui was a little annoyed, two thousand people attacked for seven days, but they couldn't take a small high ground. Even the Gurkha fighters, who had trained themselves, were unable to capture an inch of the hill despite heavy casualties.

"Old Black! I don't care how many people you die or how many shells you consume, I want you to take Baozi Mountain tomorrow night at the latest. Lao Tzu was not ready to play with him, so he drove him into the sea in one go. Inexplicably, thinking that Li Xiao was here, Wu Sangui began to feel inexplicably irritable in his heart.

Just as Wu Sangui ordered the fierce [Bayi Chinese Net] to attack Baozi Mountain, Li Xi was facing the cold sea breeze and looking at Mumbai in the distance with a telescope.

"Boom! Boom! "There are constantly ships exploding in the waterway, and Li Xiao thinks that Li Xiu's method is very good. In the absence of minesweepers, the use of boats to detonate mines is remarkable.

Li Xiao just changed the stones originally carried on the ship into sand.

One ship after another hit mines, and it can be seen that Wu Sangui attaches great importance to the port of Mumbai. The arrangement of mines was very dense, so dense that Li Xiao began to worry about whether his mine detection boat would be enough.

"Big brother, there should be no problem with the waterway ahead. Their ships are also going to leave the port, and it is impossible to seal their own ships in the harbor. ”

"Wait and sweep slowly. Be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, the bigger the movement, the more frightened Wu Sangui becomes. Hey! Li Xiao smiled evilly and squeezed his eyes at Li Xiu.

The scientists in Oxford and Cambridge had not yet figured out the telegraph, but Wu Sangui knew what was going on with the flying pigeon. Mumbai, as the largest city in India, of course keeps pigeons to ensure communication with Wu Sangui.

"Wu Sangui really doesn't return to the army, do we really want to attack Mumbai? An infantry regiment plus a Marine regiment should not be enough to capture a city as large as Mumbai. Li Xiu looked at Li Xiao with some concern, wondering if his brother had drunk too much.

Bombay is now a metropolis of more than 3 million men, and the combined strength of the two regiments is less than 10,000. Not to mention fighting, if these 10,000 people scatter in a circle, there will be nothing left.

"Whoever said they were going to take Mumbai, we just had to destroy Mumbai. What is Mumbai, that is Wu Sangui's heart. How many institutes and how many factories are in and around Mumbai in India.

To destroy Mumbai is to destroy half of India's industry. Especially those research institutes, as long as those Oxbridge experts are killed, it is equivalent to cutting off Wu Sangui's scientific and technological lifeline.

Rest assured, he will definitely return to the army. Mumbai is so important! Li Xiao is very sure of this.

India under the rule of Wu Sangui is very different from the Ming Dynasty under Li Xiao. Although it is also large and has a large population, most of the scientific research institutions in the Ming Dynasty, especially military scientific research institutions, are concentrated in Liaodong.

It was the place where Li Xiao's rule was the most solid, and it was also the place where the mass base was the best, and it was difficult for Wu Sangui's spies to survive there.

The situation in India is much more complicated. There are many states in traditional India, and some forces Wu Sangui can't take care of.

It can be said that Mumbai is Wu Sangui's basic plate. Now Li Xiao is going to lead people to smash this basic plate, if Bombay is ruined, Wu Sangui's rule in India is almost over. Li Xiao didn't believe that Wu Sangui would ignore Mumbai and insist on fighting Li Hu on Ceylon Island.

"Big brother, you are so clever, Huzi is making such a fuss on Ceylon Island, the troops that Wu Sangui can fight must be exhausted. Now that we are going to fight Mumbai, he must be scared to death, and he will definitely return to Mumbai. ”
