Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

The evening of the seventh day when the sea-breaking fleet besieged Guangzhou City.

In the last three days of fighting, Lu Haikui divided the Luzon army into four groups and attacked in turns day and night. The defenders in the city were exhausted from defense, and their mental and physical strength had reached their limits.

Such a high-intensity siege battle not only put great pressure on the defenders, but also found it unbearable for the siege party.

A dozen brothers from the Sanqiantian Wu Gang had died in such a high-intensity battle, and the number of officers and soldiers was less than 400.

Thanks to He Jianbai's sharp tongue, he persuaded tens of thousands of people in the city by threatening that they would massacre the city after the Japanese invaders broke through.

Only with their help in transporting supplies, pouring gold juice, throwing logs and stones, and pushing the city ladder, was the city of Guangzhou able to withstand such a fierce attack.

But even so, if I can persist until now, I have basically reached the limit.

The disparity in military strength between the enemy and ours is too great, and the help of the common people in the frontal battle is very limited. We can only rely on the Tianwu Gang and the officers and soldiers to fight with their lives.

The war has progressed to this point, and both body and spirit have reached the limit. What's more, they are still fighting for their will.

Fortunately, the Tianwu Gang has always had a strong will to fight, especially those who can be valued by He Jinghui. Regardless of their strength, there is absolutely no problem with their fighting will.

Chen Kun can become the captain of the Tianwu Gang's first fleet because of his strong fighting will and commanding ability.

When it comes to combat prowess, he is not even ranked among the top twenty in the gang.

After leading the remaining gang members, officers and soldiers to repel this round of enemy attacks, Chen Kun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how strong my spirit is, my body can barely hold on anymore.

His head and body were covered with bandages, and he had no less than ten stab wounds and gunshot wounds. One of the wounds on his shoulder was even scratched by a bullet.

During the seven days of defending the city, as the main combat force, he was undoubtedly the hardest worker.

You can only rest for a maximum of two hours a day, and once the war is urgent, you have to get up and continue fighting no matter how tired you are.

Only after a wave of attacks receded could he take a brief breather and take a rest.

Shaking off the blood on Leng Yan's saw, she slowly walked down the city wall and cursed feebly:

"These idiots have been attacking for three days and three nights and they still haven't stopped."

Now this cool saw that has been with him for more than ten years has become a real saw, and not a single edge is intact.

Zuo Zheng hurriedly climbed up the city wall to change defenses. The two of them passed each other and Chen Kun cursed:

"You kid, you need to worry. The firecrackers haven't been set off yet. It's not too late to come up after they finish setting off. You have to take the time to rest so that you can hold on for a while longer and let me have a good rest."

Zuo Zheng chuckled and said:

"Isn't this why I hurriedly ran up because I was afraid that you wouldn't come down? Go and rest for a while. Don't worry, I will survive a wave of attacks this time. Just sleep peacefully."

After these days of fighting, the two have become sympathizing comrades, but his strength is a little different, and he cannot become Optimus Prime who decides the direction of the battle like Chen Kun. Every time he can't stand it anymore, he has to run to call him. Chen Kun came to the rescue.

"Damn it, uncle, when did you withstand it? By the way, the defensive materials in the city are basically exhausted now, and even the gold juice is almost used up. It will be very difficult to defend the next round of attack. I can't withstand it. Just say it earlier and don’t let me clean up your fucking mess again.”

"Don't worry. Magistrate He just bought a few kilograms of oil from a shop and is already heating it. It should be fine to hold on to the next wave. Just go and have a rest."

Chen Kun stuck out his butt and made a long sound of "Puff——":

"Look, I don't even believe you. If you can't hold on anymore, come and call me. Don't wait until everyone has entered the city before you call..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The deafening sound of artillery resounded across the sky, interrupting Chen Kun's words.

Zuo Zheng hurriedly waved his hand to signal Chen Kun to take a rest.

Chen Kun stopped talking and walked quickly down the tower.

On the floor of the guard room in the city gate cave were already lying on the floor a dozen Tianwu Gang brothers who were resting after their shift. The small bed in the innermost place was just for him to rest.

Chen Kun lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

Even the roar of artillery fire outside could not wake him up, he was too tired.

……

outside the city.

Lu Haikui looked at the fishing nets growing on the walls of Guangzhou and sighed in his heart.

On the first day of the siege, when Chen Kun beheaded the Spanish commander, he already knew who his opponent was.

He had never been very fond of the captain of the first fleet of the Tianwu Gang who had a sloppy and disgusting image.

Although the two are equally famous in the East China Sea, judging from past records, he can be said to have completely crushed Chen Kun.

In fact, except for He Tianwu and Huo Zhuge, the rest of the Tianwu Gang are not very famous.

One of these two people is so powerful that it makes people tremble; the other is so wise that it is scary.

Chen Kun can make a name for himself in the shadow of these two people mainly because his image is disgusting enough.

Especially when it smells so bad wherever you go, it's hard to forget.

After knowing that it was Chen Kun who was guarding the city, Lu Haikui wanted to take this opportunity to have a good fight with him.

He just didn't expect that this decision would put him in such a dilemma.

In fact, on the third day of the attack on Guangzhou City, Li Jingfeng made a suggestion to give up the attack on Guangzhou City.

At that time, he rejected it immediately because artillery, the most powerful means of siege, had not yet been used.

But no one expected that it would take two days to transport the cannon from the ship to the battlefield.

As a result, the first round of shelling caused some trouble to the defenders, and then the defenders hung fishing nets outside the city wall.

The fishing net is about three feet away from the city wall and has several layers. Solid artillery shells hitting the fishing net will not cause any effective damage to the city wall.

Each shelling can only destroy a few fishing nets at most. The problem is that this thing is easy to make and can be used again after repairing it.

And when the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold. No matter how rich you are, you can't play unlimitedly.

So after the cannon failed to achieve the expected effect of the cauldron, Lu Haikui sat down.

Previously, he had confidently persuaded Diego Ronquillo to insist on attacking the city, but in the end, he used the strongest means to fail to capture the city.

Now the cost is huge, which can no longer be compensated by the looted food.

So in frustration, he could only bite the bullet and continue to attack the city.

The main force in the siege was naturally the indigenous soldiers and Japanese pirates from Luzon Island. Anyway, Diego Longquillo wouldn't feel bad even if all of these people died.

If we can really capture the city of Guangzhou, all the losses will be made up for.

But it was absolutely impossible for his Spaniards to die.

Li Jingfeng was the same, always using various excuses to evade, but refused to send his Sangan Japanese army out to attack the city.

And Lu Haikui himself was equally reluctant to let Po Haijun go and die?

However, this situation was broken when news was received that Baoan County sent troops to rescue Guangzhou City.

No matter how reluctant Diego Longquillo was, he knew that if the troops from Baoan County entered Guangzhou City, there would be no possibility of conquering it.

Li Jingfeng had repeatedly emphasized before that they were no match for the Baoan County army, so it was impossible for him to intercept them.

If Lu Haikui is asked to intercept the Bao'an army, doesn't that mean that the responsibility for attacking the city will fall on him?

Compared to Guangzhou, which was already causing them a lot of headaches, Diego Longquillo felt that Bao'an County should be considered a soft persimmon.

Therefore, Ravi Zaris was asked to lead a group of Spanish matchlock soldiers, as well as a large number of Luzon natives and Japanese pirates to intercept the Baoan army.

The reason why so many troops had to be sent out was actually to force Lu Haikui and Li Fengjing to devote their elite troops to the siege.

Sure enough, not long after Ravi Zaris set off, Li Jingfeng had to put his Sangan Japanese army into the siege.

As soon as these elites were dispatched, they caused a large number of casualties to the defenders, even more than half of the total casualties of the defenders in the past few days.

However, in the end, the Luzon army was defeated and failed to capture the city.

These elite Japanese troops fought three waves and suffered more than 300 casualties, but the casualties caused to the defenders were more than this number.

Such heavy casualties made Li Jingfeng feel painful, but it was still within the acceptable range.

I finally had an explanation for the other two people.

Next, it depends on whether Lu Haikui's broken navy can take away the defenders in Guangzhou City.

Knowing that there are experts in Guangzhou who are not only proficient in artillery and matchlocks, but also can find effective means of restraint.

As a result, the most powerful siege method, artillery, lost [-]% of its power.

And Guangzhou City is too tall and strong, and the remaining [-]% of the power is not enough to pose any threat to the city wall.

However, Lu Haikui still insisted on placing three rounds of artillery before each attack on the city, firstly to boost the morale of his own army, and secondly to create a certain deterrent to the people in the city.

However, the effect of this deterrent is becoming increasingly diminished. Now even the people defending the city are less afraid of artillery than they should be.

It can be seen from the increasing frequency of the Luzon army changing legions to attack the city that their morale has actually dropped to the limit.

At first, the army was changed every half a day, but now it is necessary to change the army every hour, otherwise the attack will not be possible.

It was something that was never thought of before the war ended like this.

Who can survive to the end? Now we are looking at this crucial battle that will determine the outcome. This is also the first battle that the navy has participated in since the siege.

"Break the sea and march forward fearlessly, conquer the endless and create eternity."

Five of the five naval forces were ready to go. Two of the arquebusiers would only suppress fire under the city and would not participate in the actual hand-to-hand combat of the siege.

The remaining three troops already have steel knives in hand and are ready to go at any time.

It was nearly midnight at this time, but the brilliant starry sky and the fires set by the siege troops illuminated the battlefield brightly.

Zuo Zheng stood at the top of the city and poked his head to observe the layout of the siege troops, and then adjusted the layout of the defenders from time to time.

From a distance, I saw the Po Haijun following the Luzon Army. Seeing the Po Haijun's majesty and neat appearance, I knew that this must be a powerful force.

The deputy standing next to him also noticed the problem and said:

"Sir, that unit behind is probably the enemy's main force. Should we wake up Chen Yingxiong?"

Zuo Zheng hesitated for a moment:

"Wait a minute, fight off the Luzon soldiers first."

"Dong dong dong dong dong dong..."

The drum of the attack has sounded, and the four Luzon troops started to rush towards the city against the siege ladder... .
