Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 606
"My lord, the Nanyang Fleet has signaled to us that we are ready to go!" the deputy reported to Ruan Youyi.

Ruan Youyi looked at the majestic Daqin, and sure enough, a sign symbolizing departure was raised on its mast.

"Go to sea!" Ruan Youyi ordered.

Hundreds of large and small ships left the harbor from Hoi An Port, leaving the originally bustling Hoi An Port empty.The ship heaved slightly under the beating of the waves, and some seasick soldiers squatted on the deck with pale faces, trying to resist the nausea that rolled in their stomachs.More soldiers stayed on the boat worriedly, their eyes glazed over.Although they knew that the destination of this voyage was to go to the extremely dangerous front line to fight against the Zheng family's imperial army, but they were full of worries about whether they could survive the cruel battle that followed.

Compared to the dead silence on the Ruan family's navy side, the Nanyang Fleet didn't seem to be worried about the next battle, and they still had to do what they had to do.

Ruan Youyi looked at the huge ship behind him, and couldn't help but envy him.The Nanyang Fleet has at least three things that he admires. One is of course the huge battleship itself. A sailing battleship of the size of the Daqin, the Ruan family's navy would never dare to dream of. Not to mention the manufacturing process required for such a huge battleship , It costs a lot of money just to maintain it every year.The second is the giant cannon equipped on the giant ship. Such powerful firepower made Ruan Youyi afraid even as a teammate.The third place is of course the well-trained soldiers of the Nanyang Fleet.They are stationed in Hoi An Port these days not just occupying Hoi An Port, they have training every day. The soldiers of the Nanyang Fleet always retain their combat effectiveness, and they are not at the same level as the strong men recruited by the Ruan family.

Who is the protagonist in this war?Ruan Youyi shook his head. With such a powerful teammate as the Nanyang Fleet, he felt that his Ruan family navy could only be used as cannon fodder.

When the Nanyang Fleet and the Ruan family sailed northward from Hoi An Port, the regent Ruan Fuxi led the Ruan family's army from Fuchun City to support the precarious defense line of Changde.

Ruan Fuxi was still wearing his previous battle armor. As soon as he led his troops close to the defense line of Changde Base, he heard the roar of cannons.Black smoke billowed all around the defense line of Changde Base, and the sound of guns and artillery was mixed with the shouts and insults of the soldiers on the city wall, which made Ruan Fuxi, who had experienced many wars in the past, secretly startled.

Before entering Changde Base, he could feel the brutality of the battle.A group of soldiers came out from Changde Base to welcome the reinforcements brought by Ruan Fuxi.

"Regent, please be careful. The general has orders. Regent, you should stay within the safe range behind the Changde Fortress. Otherwise, if we are injured by stray bullets, our army's morale may be shaken." The officer of the Ruan family who had just come down from the city wall was gray His head was on the ground, his eyes were red, and he was out of breath while speaking.

"How is the situation of the soldiers?" Ruan Fuxi's heart skipped a beat when he saw the messy guards.

"After half a month, more than half of the soldiers died or were injured. What's more frightening is that their artillery opened two or three gaps. If the general hadn't planted explosives there, the Zheng family's army on the opposite side might have broken through Changde. Base." The officer of the Ruan family said.

"Thanks to General Ruan Youjin, otherwise our Ruan family would be in danger." Ruan Fuxi said, "Since this is the case, I can't just stand by and watch from the rear. I want to go up to boost morale."

"The Regent..." The officer of the Ruan family hesitated, he didn't want Ruan Fuxi to take risks, but the soldiers fighting desperately on it really needed someone to encourage them.

"Follow me into the customs." Ruan Fuxi led a group of guards into the Changde Fortress, and then climbed up the stone steps inside the Changde Fortress to the city wall.

Boom!A wall stack was hit by a shell and exploded less than 20 meters away from Nguyen Phuc Creek!
"Protect the regent!" The soldiers near Ruan Fuxi were scared out of their wits, and quickly protected Ruan Fuxi in the middle.

Fortunately, the blasted wall bricks did not kill Ruan Phuc Creek and his group. Only a fist-sized stone rolled with stone foam and stopped at the foot of Ruan Phuc Creek.

A group of dozens of people froze in place for dozens of seconds in fright, not daring to move.

Boom boom boom!There are still Zheng's artillery shelling Changde base.Not only were solid ammunition that did great damage to the city walls, but the Zheng family also used explosive ammunition that was more damaging to soldiers.If the bomb exploded nearby just now, this group of people might have fallen a lot.

The sound of the still roaring cannon woke them up, and they found themselves still in danger.

"Prince Regent, why are you here! Take them down quickly!" Ruan Youjin, who was observing the situation on the city wall, noticed Ruan Fuxi and the others on the upper side of the city, and couldn't help but change his face.

"Ruan Youjin, don't blame him. I ordered him to bring us up. My brother passed away and temporarily handed over the family property of our ancestors to me. How can I stand by and watch the soldiers fight for us in such a critical time? Throwing his life and blood on his family business?" Ruan Fuxi said.

"The new master is young, and now all the soldiers regard you as a spiritual pillar, the regent. If something happens to you..." Ruan Youjin said worriedly.

"Don't say too much, let all the soldiers know that the Ruan family and I fought bloody battles with them. If the Zheng family wants to break through the Changde barrier, they must step over my corpse!" .

Seeing that Ruan Fuxi was unwilling to go down, Ruan Youjin had no choice but to say, "Notify the whole army, the regent carries the order of the new lord, and is willing to live and die with Changde Lei!"

"Yes!"

"The Regent is here in person, and the Lord is willing to live and die with the [-] soldiers of Changde Base! Reinforcements have arrived. If the Zheng family wants to cross Changde Base, they need to step over our corpses!"

"Wish to live and die with Changde Lei!"

The news of the arrival of Ruan Fuxi with more than ten thousand reinforcements quickly spread throughout Changde Base, and all the soldiers were boiling!Everyone knows that the new owner, Ruan Fubin, is only ten years old, and Ruan Fuxi is currently the most powerful person in the Ruan family. His arrival shows the unwavering determination of the Ruan family!
The boiling Changde base defense line also attracted the attention of the attacking Zheng family army.

The Lord Zheng, Zheng Bing, was observing the entire battlefield. What he held in his hand was the brass telescope presented to him by the Kyushu Army, allowing him to observe the situation of the entire battlefield from a distance.

"My lord, why did they suddenly boil over, and their resistance was extremely fierce." The general of the Zheng family who was also observing the battlefield said.

"Order to retreat." Zheng Bing said, "It seems that the important figures from the Ruan family have boosted morale. If my guess is correct, it should be the old opponent Ruan Fuxi."

"Ruan Fuxi fought us a lot in the past, and he is also a difficult guy." Several Zheng family generals around said one after another.

"Hmph, at this time, when the Kyushu Army makes a move, and a teammate stabs him in the back, Ruan Fuxi will soon become my king's prisoner."

　The update tomorrow night may be after three or four in the morning. . .
