Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 604: Red dragon fluttering in the wind holding a sword flag

The major's staff officer said: "The wind and waves are a bit big now, and the distance is a bit far. It is impossible to find the main fleet for the time being!"

Hearing this, Li Yanxi fell silent, and after a while, he said, "Send two clippers to take a look!"

Although he already had a bad premonition, Li Yanxi was always unwilling to give up. With the main force of the main fleet, even if he was defeated, he would not be wiped out, and there would always be ships that would survive!

The major's staff nodded slightly, and then said: "Then what should we do now, there are eight enemy fleets, and they are all big ships!"

Li Yanxi said: "Go ahead and prepare to land directly on the beach!"

There are eight large enemy ships attacking. With their own transport ships, they can't stop it, not only can't stop it, but even the way back will be blocked.

But still the same sentence, as long as you land on the shore, then it is victory.

They have worked hard, and the main fleet does not hesitate to attack the strong with the weak, isn't it just to buy time for their transport fleet to land.

As long as the second mixed group can be successfully brought to the case, all these sacrifices are worth it.

As for what to do after the ship runs aground, what else can be done, salad!

Is it possible to expect to slowly build a pontoon bridge and then land slowly and then go back?

The Second Fleet has never had this plan. The transport fleet has never planned to be able to go back since it set off, and even if it is stranded, the ships in this transport fleet are not big ships, and they are not battleships. There's no shame in being on the beach either.

The only thing that made Li Yanxi uneasy was the main fleet. He didn't know how the main fleet was, how much the loss was, and what the casualties of the soldiers were.

The Second Fleet is currently the strongest squadron in the Tang Navy. If anything goes wrong, the backbone of the Navy will be interrupted.

Shaking his head vigorously, Li Yanxi forced himself not to think about these things, and then began to command the fleet to prepare for landing.

Nowadays, the boats closest to the shore have almost reached the beach, and some small boats have gone directly to the beach and landed directly.

However, there are dozens of ships in the transport fleet, and there are many materials from the army on board. This landing is also a hassle and it takes a long time.

What we are counting on now is that the enemy will not dare to get too close at the risk of being stranded, and at most it will be shelling at a distance of several hundred meters!

At this time, Colonel Luo Youbin, the head of the Second Mixed Regiment, also walked to Li Yanxi's side. Now his expression was a little heavy, and he obviously knew that the main fleet of the Second Fleet at the rear was probably in a bad situation.

"The battle across the sea is entirely due to the sacrifice of the navy, and my second mixed regiment will keep this in mind!"

Li Yanxi nodded slightly and said, "This is all for the great cause of the empire!"

Then he thought about it and said: "However, after the landing, I am afraid that I will have to trouble Brother Luo to worry about the comprehensiveness of our navy sailors!"

Luo Youbin said: "This is what it should be, don't worry, all the battles after the landing, you don't need to worry about the navy, you just need to wait for the good news from our army!"

In response, Li Yanxi nodded slightly and said, "That's very good!"

In this battle, the Navy has sacrificed a lot. You don’t have to think about it. The naval officers and men on the main fleet of the Second Fleet will suffer heavy casualties, and you have to keep the seeds for the Navy!

Although many sailors in the transport fleet say that their quality is not as good as that of the main fleet, there are also thousands of them. These thousands of sailors cannot directly go to the land to fight like the army. Fighting with the Second Mixed Regiment is irresponsible to the navy.

Li Yanxi needs to save these sailors for the reconstruction of the Second Fleet.

Seeing that Li Yanxi was not in a good mood, and he had to command the fleet to land, Luo Youbin also left very wisely, and now it was his turn to show his skills.

He directly took his adjutants and staff to take a boat, and then landed first!

The place they chose to land was a small sandy beach with a relatively flat terrain. Many large boats had actually run aground when they were tens of meters away from the shore. At this time, they needed to take a small boat or directly wading to land.

"Quick, quick!"

"Get on the boat, take care to protect the gunpowder and muskets, don't let them get wet!"

"All speed up, didn't you see that the fake ship has been killed, continue to stay here and wait to die?"

After the first large transport ship ran aground on the beach, the large-scale landing operation of the second mixed regiment began. At this time, the Ming army ships chasing from the rear were already several kilometers closer, according to their speed. , in less than an hour, they will be able to get too close to shell.

In the transport fleet, there were not many large ships and gunboats at all, and the field guns in the second mixed regiment were all small guns.

The best way is to go ashore and leave!

Because of the urgency of time, the landing operation was a mess. It was not only the army soldiers who landed, but the sailors of the navy actually abandoned their ships and landed.

The total number of people adds up to more than 3,000 people to land, and they have to carry a large amount of materials to land, which is not an easy task.

After Luo Youbin took his staff, adjutants, and messengers into the boat, and then set foot on the beach, Luo Youbin didn't have time to rest when he saw a second lieutenant running over: "Sir, there is an attack from the Ming army ahead!"

"How many troops are the enemy troops? How far away!"

"About a thousand people, about a kilometer!"

Luo Youbin said with disdain: "Why are you panicking for only a thousand enemy troops!"

Then he looked back and found a major who said, "Captain Fang, you immediately gather with the fourth battalion, prepare to fight, and defeat them neatly, don't let them interfere with the subsequent landing!"

Commander Fang is a sturdy middle-aged man. After listening to it, he said, "The Ministry of Careers obeys!"

Then he strode away, while still shouting: "The fourth battalion gathers, hurry up!"

The fourth battalion landed in the early stage, but now there are only more than 300 soldiers of the fourth battalion who have successfully landed, and many of them are still crawling in the sea.

But the leader of the battalion, Fang, did not wait for them, and set off with the three hundred people who had been combined!

Fighting against a thousand enemy troops with three hundred people is no pressure for the Datang Army!

After battalion commander Fang led the troops to set off, Luo Youbin continued to sit on the beach, and then directed the troops to rush to transport supplies.

At this time, Li Yanxi also got off the ship, and then ordered the navy officers to help rush to transport supplies.

Although these ships were stranded, the materials on board had to be taken away. Many materials on board were needed to maintain the Second Mixed Regiment for a whole month of operations, but they could not be left here.

As the landing operation passed, the personnel quickly went ashore, and many materials began to be transferred from the large ship to the small ship and transported to the beachhead.

The whole scene is chaotic!

"The enemy fleet is only 700 meters away, and they will be able to bombard it soon, everyone is working harder!"

"Priority to rush to transport ammunition, food is not needed first"

"The artillery on those ships will also be removed. How can we fight without artillery!"

Many officers on the beachhead commanded more than 3,000 people to start rushing to transport supplies. As for the beachhead battle after landing, that was not their task, it was the task of the fourth battalion led by Battalion Commander Fang.

To be precise, it was the task of the 300 men in the fourth battalion.

But this time, the army did not brag about the navy. The dissatisfaction of these 300 people was organized into the fourth battalion. Although many people did not even have muskets, spears or armor, many of them only carried a waist knife, but they still used A round of charge was to smash the nearly 1,000 Ming army guards who heard the news and ran to face them.

Of course, there were not many casualties on both sides, and even the fleeing Ming army had only a few dozen casualties.

After defeating the Ming army, battalion commander Fang did not lead the troops to pursue the pursuit, but rested on the spot and built a defense line!

His task was to defeat the Ming army who dared to attack, and it was not his task to pursue and conquer the enemy city.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon, the ships of the Ming army navy finally approached the landing beach and opened fire on the beach, but just as Li Yanxi and others judged, in order to avoid running aground, they did not. The adventure was too close to the shore, and only shelled in the direction of two or three hundred meters.

At this time, the two armies of the Tang Dynasty who landed on the beach had already finished rushing their most important supplies, 'ammunition', and by the way, they also rush to transport enough food for a few days. As for more food And other heavy baggage, it can only be forced to give up.

The Ming army's warships approached and shot with shotguns, which did a lot of damage to the people exposed on the beach!

So they quickly gave up and continued to rush to transport supplies, but they did not leave, but stationed at the beach!

They still want those ships~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The supplies on board can also continue to be rushed.

Those Ming navy sailors were not stupid, and soon they started shelling the ships, and they also sent small boats to set fire to them.

Faced with this method, the Great Tang Wang Shi on both land and sea had no choice but to watch those ships burn one by one!

"Don't look at it, let's go, this ship is gone, and other baggage doesn't matter, our army has enough ammunition and supplies, it is relatively simple to eat the enemy!"

It is the fine tradition of the Great Tang Emperor to eat at the enemy. As long as the guns and guns are in hand, I am afraid that there will be nothing to eat!

Therefore, the second mixed regiment and thousands of sailors just abandoned this beachhead and began to advance inland. Their advance direction was simple and rough: Qiongzhou Fucheng!

Just as the second mixed regiment was advancing towards Qiongzhou Mansion, three tattered ships sailed towards Leizhou Mansion with difficulty on the Qiongzhou Strait!

Although the ship is broken, the red dragon holding the sword flag floating on the mast is always fluttering in the wind!
