"General Gordon, in your opinion, how to deal with the current situation" Lawrence quickly calmed himself down, no longer had a haughty look, and even consulted Gordon with some pleading in his tone."
Lord Governor, tell me the truth, did you send a letter for help to the Queen" Gordon's eyebrows tightened, looking at Lawrence's panicked appearance, he had already guessed the result, but he still wanted to make a final confirmation."
General Gordon, you know, if you tell the queen about India.First there was a rebellion of Islamic forces, then a rebellion of the Tamils, followed by another large-scale invasion by the Huaxing army.Where can I sit in the position of Governor-General" Lawrence blushed and lowered his head, he understood very clearly, he didn't want to ask for help from England at all."
Your Excellency, you are so bold.For his own selfishness, he even ignored hundreds of thousands of Britons and relied on us people, and he couldn't stop the Huaxing Army at all, do you know" Gordon confirmed this, his lungs were about to explode, and he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, so he slapped it hard at the conference table.Lawrence shuddered with fright, stared at Gordon with a trembling voice and asked softly, "Is there no hope at all, where is the army of our British Empire so vulnerable?"
"The sea, the sea is our lifeblood, and now there are only thirty ships left in our navy."
Whether it is the speed or the artillery are lagging behind the Huaxing army, if there are no reinforcements, how can they fight the Huaxing army If even the sea control is lost, then the army has only a dead end, Lord Governor, don't forget, this is India, not our British homeland, there is no Indian, will resist desperately for our British" Gordon is really about to be mad by this ignorant nobleman, and now he is thinking of asking for help at home, and it is too late."
Then what should we do, we can't just sit and wait to die," Lawrence had no choice but to pin his hopes on Gordon."
You are now writing to the Queen for help, hoping that we will hold out for three months.As long as our navy arrives and regains control of the sea, it will certainly be able to repel the Huaxing army. ”Gordon tightened his eyebrows, and immediately flattened the letter and asked Lawrence to write a letter to China.Lawrence was the British Governor-General of India and was in charge of all things India.The matter of asking for help must go through Lawrence, and Gordon cannot overstep his authority to ask for help from home.That's what he did, and no one would bother.At this time, the South China Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet had already transported two marine divisions from Singapore to the island.Singapore's Governor Koh Peng Chung stayed behind with a division of troops, and Deputy Army Commander Pei Yan Kai personally went to Sri Lanka to direct the battle.Ever since the Huaxing Army gave the Tamils 10,000 rifles for the expedition, Sri Lanka has been plunged into war.The Sinhalese were slaughtered by tribe after tribe of Tamils because their weapons were too backward.The leader of the Tamils sought the help of the British, and a division of British troops was stationed in Sri Lanka.Originally, they were unprofitable and could not afford to be early, attacking one side, winning over one party, and collecting benefits from both parties.But it didn't take long for the British to launch a counteroffensive against the Tamils, and it was completely in a posture to clear the Tamils.The most direct reason is that they learned that the Tamils were cooking the British army alive.There are no impermeable walls in the world, after the disappearance of twenty warships of the British army carrying military pay.The British army sent a survey ship to patrol the way and finally found the fragments of the ship near Trincomalee.After a thorough investigation, the British army also got a shocking news.Their supply ships were destroyed by warships from the East, and the survivors were all killed by the Tamils when they came ashore.Without waiting for the Sinhalese to plead, the British army took the initiative to attack the Tamils.Gordon was furious when he learned of this, and ordered the commander of the island not to spare a single Tamil.As soon as the two sides fought, the British army was well-trained after all, and compared to the Tamil, who had just mastered the expeditionary rifle for a short time, people did not know how much stronger.The Tamils were defeated and fled back to the mountains near Trincomalee.The British army made up their minds to exterminate them this time, and constantly dispatched troops to prepare to encircle all the mountains near Trincomalee.Izzardin hurriedly asked people to ask for help from the Huaxing Army, and when the Huaxing Army saw that the time was ripe, they immediately sent two divisions of troops to Trincomalee Island, which was the Marine Corps stationed in Singapore.After the deputy commander Pei Renkai understood the situation, he decided to wait for work and build fortifications in Trincomalee City, which caught the British army by surprise.He concluded that the British army was now victorious, and the whole army must be impetuous.They didn't know that the arrival of the Huaxing army would inevitably lead to the enemy's rash advance.The British army was indeed as Pei Renkai expected, and after the Tamil people fell into the water, the army paid even less attention to these barbarians.After all, with the same weapons, the Tamils were still vulnerable, which added to the arrogance of the British army.The British fought all the way and helped the Sinhalese regain their lost territory.The Sinhalese also began a frenzied revenge, and in turn, the Tamils began a mad slaughter.The Huaxing army rested in Trincomalee for a week, and finally waited for the arrival of the British army.During this period, he also had Izzadin send a small force to harass the British army, and concentrated all the remaining 60,000 Tamils in Trincomalee.The purpose was to attract the British to come here and press all the soldiers and horses.The Huaxing army also managed to completely annihilate the British army here.There is no other way for Izadine, if you don't believe in Huaxingjun, then the result is only a dead end.He could only pray for the blessing of Lord Shiva and ordered his people to come down from the mountain and gather in the city of Trincomalee.When the British command learned that all the Tamils had gathered in Trincomalee, they were also very surprised, and hurriedly ordered the troops to speed up.They also didn't want to go around with the Tamils in the mountains, and it would be nice to be able to wipe out the Tamils in Trincomalee.The city of Trincomalee is located on the coastal plain and was originally owned by the Sinhalese people.As a port city, its size and the population it accommodates are already quite large.But the Tamils have grown stronger over the years, and they have come down from the mountains to compete with the Sinhalese for the plains.The Sinhalese were already weak in the north and east of Sri Lanka, and soon the city of Trincomalee came under Tamil control.The temples in the city were also burned down and replaced with Hinduism, which the Tamils embraced.The Huaxing Army does not have to worry about the supply of the logistics department here, in addition to the navy's transfer of materials, all the grain and grass are also raised by the Tamils.They already saw the Huaxing army as an incarnation of Lord Shiva, and when the Huaxing army landed in Trincomalee, all the Tamils knelt down and bowed to them.The morning sun rises slowly over the sea, reflecting the golden color of the city on the beach for a while.The trumpets sounded in the British positions, and the British troops, who had rested outside the city for the night, were all ready to launch a final assault on Trincomalee.Major Robert, the commander of the British army, kept looking ahead, and in the telescope, the position ahead was surrounded by trenches.He had just learned the way of trench warfare, but he didn't expect it to be used by these barbarians now.To know.It took only two or three years for the British army to replace breech guns.Robert didn't even use this formation himself for defense, and no one on this island dared to take the initiative to challenge him.It's always been him who attacks others, and he doesn't need to defend at all."
Major, do you see anything unusual" A young man with the rank of captain on his shoulder strapped, chuckled and asked, not knowing what Robert was looking at, and delaying the order to attack."
Captain Kate, haven't you noticed that these ignorant barbarians are actually blocking us with trenches today" Robert put down his binoculars, always feeling that something was wrong in his heart."
It's not surprising, Colonel.These barbarians are armed with advanced rifles, and someone must have given them the formation.But in the end, they are a rabble, even if they have the same weapons as us, they are not the same as us, and they are not beaten by us and run away, how effective can they be now that they have set up a formation, as long as we fire a salvo with artillery, they will abandon their positions and flee in all directions" The young man was Captain Kate in Robert's mouth, he was Robert's lieutenant general and the deputy division commander in Sri Lanka.He also looked around the battlefield in front of him with binoculars, and saw that the Tamils in the trenches were crowded, and there was no discipline in battle.In his eyes, these Tamils were monkeys who had just climbed down from a tree and happened to have them picked up advanced weapons.But a monkey is a monkey, and no matter what weapon he holds, he will be easily defeated."
Maybe you're right, call the artillery units to bomb first, and test the reaction of these barbarians," Robert nodded, also thinking that these Tamils could not make any big waves.To be on the safe side, he let the artillery units attack first, and then let the infantry attack.The British brought in hundreds of 24-pounder field guns, all of which ranged more than 800 meters.Robert gave the order, and the artillery positions, which had already been properly arranged in the position, began to run according to the firing process.The artillerymen loaded the chamber with explosives packets, solid iron balls, and filled them with sticks.As soon as the commander gave the order, the artillerymen lit the fuse one after another."
Boom, boom, boom" artillery made a huge roar one after another, opening the curtain of the British offensive.After the explosives exploded, the huge impact force instantly rushed the shells out of the barrel.Nearly a hundred solid iron balls smashed into the Tamil position in an instant."
Knock, knock, knock" The iron ball hit the ground and splashed with bursts of dust, constantly rolling into the trenches of the Tamil defense."
Ula, Ula, Ula," the Tamils screamed, and soon the Tamils in the first line of defense jumped into the trenches and fled back in panic.Robert sneered in the telescope, secretly saying that barbarians are barbarians, and even if they get God's help, they are destined to become climate
