Chapter 77: Coastal Clearance (Part II)
Chapter Seventy-Seven: Coastal Clearance {B}
"Good! It's time, let's go! ”
Half an hour later, Huang Lin looked at the villagers who had been assembled one after another, and gave the order to set off on time!
The villagers packed up a lot of things, donkeys, ox carts, and those young men pushed, wooden wheelbarrows, the carts were full of large bags of things, and even some live chickens and ducks, which were all the property of their family!
The villagers lined up, their faces were sad, a little reluctant, and they walked out of the village in three steps!
"General!" Huang Lin followed the team, looking at the appearance of the villagers, his brows furrowed, and he was about to speak, when a soldier stopped him from behind!
Huang Lin stopped, and the soldier walked quickly to his side and whispered a few words in his ear!
Huang Lin turned his head to look at the village, frowned, a little hesitant, and after a while, he waved his hand to summon a soldier, and said fiercely: "Zhang Yan, some villagers are hiding, you lead a team of ten people to search them out, and then kill them, make sure that no one escapes!" When we were far away, we set the village on fire! ”
……
The weather at sea was a little unpredictable, and a quarter of an hour before the sky was blue and the sun was shining. Now, I don't know when it started, patches of thick black clouds drifted in the distance!
Soon, the clouds blocked the scorching sun, the sea became dark, the air became dull, and everywhere there was a scene of an approaching storm!
On the sea, a huge fleet is moving fast, and on the flagship ship, Su Shang stood on the bow deck, looking at the sudden change in the sky, his face was a little gloomy, and he looked worried!
Half an hour ago, Huang Lin launched a fleet signal on the shore, and Su Shang immediately ordered the fleet that had already been prepared to set sail!
In order to hurry, the fleet was moving at full speed all the way, and the fleet at this time not only hung its sails high, but also shook its oars!
Su Shang looked ahead, the land had already appeared in the distance, and as the fleet advanced, the coastal scenery he saw became clearer and clearer!
The coast is not far away, about two or three miles, and in a small harbor ahead, Huang Lin and the others are waving their flags, signaling the fleet to come over!
This is a very remote little harbor, and it is the intended landing point of the fleet! An hour ago, Huang Lin and his entourage gathered the people under their control and brought them to the landing site, so that they could clear the debris on the beach and prepare for the landing of the fleet!
Soon, the flotilla reached the small harbor! However, since the harbor is only natural, there is no head, and it is not very suitable for ships to dock! Therefore, the ship could only slowly sail into the small harbor under the command of Huang Lin and others!
"Bang! Bang! After a few sounds, the bow of the ship hit the rotten and rotten wood at the bottom of the water, making a dull sound, and more than a dozen waterfowl fluttered and flew up, alarming more than a thousand waterfowl inhabiting the woods on the shore, and more than a thousand waterfowl chirped one after another, flapping their little wings and flying into the air!
The flotilla stopped. The boat was not too close to the shore, it was still a few feet away from the shore! This is because the water on the shore is so shallow that if the ship moves forward, it will be stranded!
However, Huanglin had already prepared, and dozens of rafts more than three zhang long and one zhang wide were neatly placed on the side of the coast. There are a lot of trees on the shore, and these rafts were all built by the villagers improvised by him!
Huang Lin ordered the people to put the rafts, one by one, together and connect them to the warship, and after a while, more than a dozen pontoon bridges appeared on the coast!
The soldiers on the warship stepped onto the pontoon bridge one after another, and rushed towards the shore in a neat and fast manner. Soon, in less than two quarters of an hour, thousands of soldiers on the large warship all went ashore and lined up in the open space on the shore to rest, waiting for the next order!
Su Shang and Du Ruhui finally got off the boat, stepped on the pontoon, stepped on the gentle sand on the shore, Su Shang looked up at the sky, the black and oppressive dark clouds, layer upon layer, had covered the entire sky!
"Finally got to the shore before the storm arrived, and I should be able to sleep soundly tonight!" Su Shang said with a smile, his face was very relaxed!
"yes!" Du Ruhui also looked up at the sky, smiled at Su Shang and said, "The storm is coming soon!" Depending on the situation, it is estimated that the waves will be not small at that time! ”
"Hello marshal!"
At this time, Huang Lin came over with a team of soldiers from the pro-military camp to salute Su Shang!
Su Shang returned a military salute, looked at the soldiers of the pro-military battalion in front of him, and then looked around, his brows furrowed a little, "What about the other soldiers in the pro-military battalion, why aren't they here, haven't they finished their mission yet?" ”
"Yes, they're still on a mission!" Huang Lin hurriedly stepped forward to report, "Report to the marshal, according to the predetermined plan, this coastal clearance mission, the first task they performed, has been successfully completed!" ”
"However, during the inspection and search of the soldiers, another village was found seven miles southwest and eight miles southeast, of which the village in the southwest was relatively large, with more than 200 people!"
"Now, Zhang Jie and Li Run are leading two squadrons to carry out tasks in the villages in the southwest, and in the villages in the southeast, a squadron led by Su Zhuo is in charge!"
"In addition, Wang Peng and Wang Wei, according to the plan, they led a squadron into Nanpu City! The news has been received that they have successfully entered Nampo City! ”
As Huang Lin quickly reported, Su Shang's brows relaxed, looked at the people around him, and thought about it again, "Zhao Hong, Wang Mingtao, you lead the squadrons in charge of each other, and immediately go separately to pick up Zhang Jie and Su Zhuo!" ”
"Yes, the last general will obey!"
After Zhao Hong and Wang Mingtao set off with their troops, Su Shang looked at Huang Lin again, "Huang Lin, tell me, how many people have been evacuated here now?" ”
"Report to the marshal, at present there are eight hundred and thirty-two people here, of whom three hundred and ten are young men and four hundred and fifty women and children!"
"That's too few people!" Su Shang looked up at the sky, and said, "Look at this situation, this ship can't set off either!"
"Su Xingchen!" Su Shang recruited Su Xingchen, who was sorting out the ranks of the navy.
"Take these young men down, put them in a baggage camp for the time being, and let them help transport arrows and weapons! However, be sure to arrange for people to watch over them, and if you find any unusual actions on them, you will be killed immediately! ”
"Yes!"
"You go and arrange the manpower immediately, move the weapons and equipment down first, and after half an hour, the army will set off and enter the county seat of Nanpu County, where only a thousand soldiers need to be left behind!"
After speaking, Su Shang pointed to the villagers who were standing on the coast, "Those women and children will leave them here, and when the weather improves, arrange for boats to send them to Datong Island!" ”
"Yes, I'll do it right away!"
