The whistling shells shuttled through the sky, the occasional explosions seemed to make the air tremble, the sea water rolled in the shells, as if boiling, and in the hail of bullets, the escort ships of the second warship adjusted their posture and used their hulls to withstand the shells fired from the opposite side, while a large number of transport ships rushed directly to the southern beach of Charme Island regardless of everything.

Inside one of the transport ships, the privates prayed anxiously in the cabin, hoping that the enemy ship's shells would not fall on the ship at this time. They had already seen the power of those shells. Once the transport ship was hit by more than a dozen shells, the structural strength of the wooden hull would be destroyed at the moment of the explosion.

As the army, they could do nothing at this moment. They could only hold on to their rifles, carry enough ammunition, and hope that the warships could land smoothly on the coast. At that time, they would have to get off the ship immediately, and then immediately adjust their positions, using their rifles to fire at the enemy on the shore in order to seize the coast.

And now, the sound of artillery fire outside continued to sound, the ship was shaking violently, and many privates were tossed around in the shaking. I don’t know how long it had been, but at a certain period of time, the sound of artillery fire suddenly subsided a lot.

The petty officer who ran down from the deck shouted at them urgently:

"We're about to land!"

"Take your weapons with you! Don't panic after landing! Immediately organize a front and advance to the island!"

"Don't shoot randomly and hurt your own people!"

"besides......"

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud "bang" and the warship seemed to have hit something, and the entire hull began to shake.

Most of the privates fell down in this biggest jolt, but before they could get up, the sergeant shouted:

"Quick! Quick!"

"Go ashore! Go ashore!"

At the urging of the non-commissioned officer, the privates felt a tightness in their hearts, but at the same time they were somewhat relieved that they actually made it to the beach. After all, the enemy ship bombardment they had seen before was really fierce, and it was too difficult to reach the beach under such bombardment. It was for this reason that they did not organize themselves into a queue on the deck and wait for orders as usual, but hid in the cabin.

But now, this relief only disappeared in an instant, and a more difficult battle was about to begin. The privates took a step forward and strode onto the deck amid the roars of the non-commissioned officers.

When the dazzling sunlight shone, many soldiers squinted their eyes and looked around hurriedly.

Because of the hasty landing, the warships that rushed onto the beach were all stranded, and there were quite a few of them. The scene in the sea behind was horrific, with the wreckage of warships drifting around on the sea. Those were escort ships, and they suffered heavy damage in order to cover the landing of the transport ships. The enemy ships that destroyed them were still spewing thick white smoke, and they were wreaking havoc on the sea like monsters.

In the more distant sea, the fleet cooperating with the Yan people had become clear at this moment. It was indeed the Rose Fleet of Shenglu that had been seen not long ago. After seeing these warships, the soldiers' eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"Quick! Get down!"

"Hold on to your weapons and don't fall into the sea! Don't rush forward once you're on the beach, organize your front, and advance steadily!" The sergeant's urgent roar continued.

The soldiers did not dare to delay and quickly rushed down the wooden ladder from the boat and ran towards the shore.

The sound of artillery fire had not stopped and the air was filled with gunpowder smoke. Although the sound of explosions had subsided a lot, it still sounded from time to time, which irritated the nerves of the soldiers. However, in this severe battlefield environment, the well-trained Golts immediately formed a formation after stepping onto the beach. It was a row of horizontal rows of musketeers.

The first ones to disembark were mainly the musketeers, while the gunners were still behind. Because they had to land on the beach, there was no time to transport the heavy artillery ashore, so the gunners had to disembark with the light artillery first.

The musketeers who formed several rows along the narrow coastline did not fire without permission. They needed to advance some distance, and the enemy soldiers on the shore did not launch an immediate attack. The soldiers seized the opportunity and ran forward with all their strength.

In the rear, Xia Liyang also managed to get off the boat by chance. He was now in the rear troops. The gunners were running in front of him. After stepping on the land, the front row of musketeers were advancing. Everything was proceeding in a tense but orderly manner.

But even so, Xia Liyang's eyelids were twitching. Such a large-scale beach landing must have been seen by the enemy, but they did not suppress their firepower during the landing. This was really unusual.

Their warships are already equipped with extremely destructive shells, so it stands to reason that there must be equally powerful artillery on the shore.

Although he was hesitant, Xia Liyang could only consider that the enemy on the shore was not well prepared and delayed the opportunity to fight. At this moment, the most important thing for his side was to advance the front line immediately and quickly control the commanding heights. As long as all the enemy forces on the island were wiped out, they could rely on Charme Island to carry out subsequent defensive battles.

Even though the enemy has strong naval capabilities, it will not be easy for them to attack us after losing Charme Island.

"Quick! Go straight ahead! Capture their fortifications!"

Although they were far away, Xia Liyang could see the Yan Army's fortifications on the commanding heights in the distance. Although they were simple, their high location represented a high degree of threat. In order to prevent being bombarded, the advancing infantrymen deliberately lengthened their front lines, and they almost expanded to the entire southern coastline.

The gunners formed a series of horizontal advancement lines, and the gunners in the rear had all been evacuated and placed behind these horizontal rows of gunners.

And just as they were advancing steadily, the sound of artillery fire from the sea gradually stopped.

Xia Liyang, who was running forward with the privates, turned his head and could hardly believe his eyes. The enemy warships did not seem to have any intention of destroying their own warships.

The Chief of Staff Humphrey beside him wiped the sweat from his face and gritted his teeth and said:

"These bastards! They want to seize all our warships!"

Xia Liyang was furious, but he was helpless and could only shout: "There is no other way, the warship must be abandoned!"

"Don't worry about it. Our current mission is to defeat the Yan people on the island and gain control of Charme Island!"

"It seems that the defenses on their island are not sufficient. We will definitely be able to occupy Charme Island!"

Humphrey nodded and followed, "Yes, Marshal!"

Then, he shouted loudly: "Quick! Go forward and occupy the high ground!"

-

At the highest point of Charme Island, bright, fiery flags were fluttering in the fierce wind.

Qin Ze, standing next to the flag, had a stern expression on his face as he looked at the Golts on the beach below, who were advancing in rows like an ant colony.

"Simple and crude linear tactics with such dense formations, is this the killer weapon for you Golts to dominate the Salisno continent?"

Then, he raised his hand and said coldly:

"Line them up and shoot them!"
