The major staff officer said: "Now the wind and waves are a little bigger, and the distance is a little far, so it is impossible not to find the main fleet for the time being!" ”

Hearing this, Li Yanxi fell silent, and only after half a sound did he say, "Send two clippers to take a look!" ”

Although he already had a bad premonition, Li Yanxi was never giving up, with the main force of the main fleet, even if he was defeated, he would not be wiped out, and there would be ships to survive!

The major staff officer 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: "Pass the order down, prepare to land directly on the beach!" ”

There are eight enemy ships attacking, and these transport ships cannot be stopped by themselves, not only can they not be stopped, but even the way back will be blocked.

But again, as long as you go ashore, then it is a victory.

They worked hard, and the main fleet did 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, cold salad!

Isn't it possible to count on slowly building a pontoon bridge and then landing slowly and then going back?

The Second Fleet has never had this intention, and 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 warships, so it is not a pity to be stranded and thrown directly on the beachhead.

The only thing that made Li Yanxi uneasy was the side of the main fleet, and he didn't know what the situation was like with the main fleet, how big the losses were, and what the casualties of the soldiers were.

The Second Fleet is currently the strongest detachment in the Tang Navy, and if anything happens, I'm afraid the backbone of the Navy will be broken.

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

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

However, there are dozens of ships in the transport fleet, and there are many supplies for the army on board, so the landing is also a troublesome matter, and it will take a long time.

Now the hope is that the enemy will not dare to risk running aground too close, at most shelling at a distance of several hundred meters!

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

"This sea-crossing operation is all thanks to the sacrifice of the navy, and my second mixed regiment will remember this!"

Li Yanxi nodded slightly and said, "It's all for the great cause of the empire!" ”

Then he thought for a while and said, "However, after the landing, the thoughtfulness of our naval sailors, I'm afraid I will have to trouble Brother Luo to bother!" ”

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

In this regard, Li Yanxi nodded slightly and said, "That's very good!" ”

In this battle, the navy suffered a lot of sacrifices, and you don't have to think about it to know that the officers and men of the main fleet of the Second Fleet will suffer heavy casualties, and you have to reserve seeds for the navy!

Although the quality of many sailors in the transport fleet is not as good as that of the main fleet, there are also thousands of sailors, and these thousands of sailors cannot fight directly on land like the army, these sailors are unarmed, and the combat effectiveness of land warfare is very average, so let them fight together with the second mixed regiment, which is irresponsible to the officers and men of the navy.

Li Yanxi needs to protect 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 with great interest, and now it was his turn to show his skills.

He took his adjutant and staff officers directly on a small boat, and then landed first!

The place they chose to land was a small beach, the terrain was relatively gentle, and many large ships had actually run aground when they washed up dozens of meters from the shore, so they needed to take a small boat or wade directly to land.

"Quick, quick!"

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

"Hurry up, don't you see that the big ship of the puppet Ming has been killed, continue to stay here and wait for death?"

After the first large transport ship ran aground, the large-scale landing operation of the second mixed regiment began, and at this time, the Ming ships pursuing from the rear had already closed several kilometers, and according to their speed, they could get close in less than an hour to carry out artillery bombardment.

And there were not a few large gunboats in the transport fleet at all, and the field guns in the second mixed regiment were all small guns, and there were no large-caliber guns at all, so it was impossible to bombard the gunboats of the Ming Army's naval division.

The best thing to do is to go ashore and leave!

Because the landing operation was urgent, it was chaotic, and it was not only the army soldiers who landed, but also the navy sailors who actually abandoned their ships and landed.

The total number of people added up to more than 3,000 people had to land, and they also had to carry a large amount of supplies to land, which was not an easy task.

After Luo Youbin took the staff officers, adjutants and heralds to take a small boat, and then stepped on the beachhead, Luo Youbin didn't have time to rest, but saw a second lieutenant running over: "Tell your lord, there is a Ming army attacking ahead!" ”

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

"About a thousand, about a kilometer!"

Luo Youbin showed disdain and said: "There are only a thousand enemy troops, what are you panicking about!" ”

Then he looked back, and then found one that was the major and said: "Battalion Commander Fang, you immediately gather with the fourth battalion, prepare to meet them, defeat them cleanly, don't let them interfere with the follow-up landing!" ”

Battalion Commander Fang was a sturdy middle-aged man, and after hearing this, he said, "The department obeys the order!" ”

Then he strode away, shouting loudly: "Fourth battalion assemble, quick!" ”

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 battalion commander who led the Fang didn't wait for them, and set off directly with the three hundred people who had been combined!

With 300 people against the enemy's 1,000 people, this is no pressure at all for the Tang Army!

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

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

Although these ships are stranded, the supplies on board must be taken away, and many of the materials on the ship, which are needed to maintain the second mixed regiment for a whole month, cannot still be here.

As the landing operation passed, personnel quickly disembarked and many supplies began to be transferred from large ships to small boats and to the beachhead.

The whole scene was chaotic!

"The enemy fleet is already only seven hundred meters away, and soon they will be able to shell, and the big guys will work hard!"

"Priority is given to rushing ammunition, and food is left alone"

"The guns on those ships also have to be moved down, how can there be a war without artillery!"

Many officers on the beachhead commanded more than 3,000 people to start rushing to transport supplies, and as for the beachhead operation after landing, it was not their task, it was the task of the fourth battalion led by the battalion commander Fang.

To be exact, the task of the three hundred men in the fourth battalion.

But this time, the army did not brag to the navy, and the dissatisfaction of these 300 people was organized into the fourth battalion, although many people did not even have muskets or even spears and armor, and many of them only brought a waist knife, but they still used a round of charges to cleanly defeat the nearly 1,000 Ming guards who heard the news and ran to meet them.

Of course, the casualties on both sides were not many, and even the Ming army that fled was only a few dozen dead and wounded.

After defeating the Ming army, Battalion Commander Fang did not lead his troops in pursuit, but rested on the spot and built a defensive line!

His mission 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 little by little, and soon, the ships of the Ming Army's naval division finally approached the landing beachhead, and opened fire on the beachhead, but just like Li Yanxi's judgment, in order to avoid running aground, they did not risk getting too close to the shore, but only shelled in the direction of two or three hundred meters.

At this time, the navy and land armies of the Tang Dynasty Division, which landed on the beachhead, had already finished transporting their most important material 'ammunition', and by the way, they had rushed enough food to eat for a few days, and as for more food and other heavy baggage, they could only be forced to give up.

The warships of the Ming army approached and fired with shotguns, and the casualties to the people exposed on the beach were still relatively large!

So they soon gave up directly and continued to rush supplies, but they didn't leave, but stationed themselves on the beachhead!

They still want those ships, and the materials on the ships can continue to be rushed in the future.

Those Ming sailors were not stupid, and soon began to shell the ships, and also sent small boats to set fires.

In the face of this method, the Tang Dynasty King and the land and sea sides had no choice but to watch those ships being burned one by one!

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

Eat the enemy, this is the fine tradition of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the gun is in hand, I am afraid that I will not eat!

Therefore, the 2nd Mixed Regiment and thousands of sailors abandoned this beachhead, and then began to advance inland, and their advance direction was simple and crude: the capital city of Qiongzhou!

Just when the second mixed regiment was advancing towards the capital of Qiongzhou, on the Qiongzhou Strait, three tattered ships were sailing towards the Leizhou Mansion with difficulty!

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