Chapter 422: Shoot to Lao Tzu

Since Li Yuanjing's goal was particularly clear this time, the fleet did not delay.

Ships are parked directly at the nearest place to the mine, and an improvised dock is built.

Leaving some of the men to guard the fleet, all the others went to collect coal and subsequent coking.

The efficiency of purely manual mining may not be high, but for these soldiers, two or three thousand people are still no problem to fill a ship a day.

The only problem is the transports, which may take some time to solve.

However, these are not problems for Li Yuanjing.

Half a month later, the fleet underwent simple maintenance, and the coal was replenished again.

Once again, the fleet began its journey south.

And in the coming period, the fleet experienced a fundamentally different experience.

"There's farmland here?" Looking at the green patch on the shore, the eyes of several half-grown babies widened.

In addition to the farmland, groups of natives can often be seen standing on the shore and looking at them across the sea, their eyes seem to be shocked and fearful.

However, in the face of the threat of these natives, Li Yuanjing chose to turn a blind eye and continued to order the fleet to go south.

But today the situation is different, when a month has passed since the last replenishment, the fleet is about to enter the next replenishment period.

According to the answer given by the navigator Ren Zhixing, they should be about two thousand miles away from the last supply point at this moment.

Although it was just over a third of the fleet's voyage, it was time to find a place to resupply.

If you wait until halfway through to look for it, if you don't find it, won't the fleet come back?

Therefore, after everyone's deliberation, it was agreed that after a third of the voyage, they would start to search for a supply place, and if they did not find it halfway through, they would return the same way to resupply.

It may be a waste of time and effort, but at least it will ensure that they will always have a way back.

"Isn't that strange?" Li Yuanjing rolled his eyes and said: "This place was formed almost at the same time as the Central Plains, if it weren't for the civilization that was bred on the Central Plains, I'm afraid you would be almost the same as them now!" ”

"Impossible, this son's jade tree is in the wind, extremely smart, everyone loves him, and the flowers bloom...... Even if I can't, my dad won't allow it......" Fang Yiai said shyly.

The thought that he might be like those natives made Fang Yiai feel sick.

It's so disgusting that there is not a single piece of clothing in the whole tribe, and it is all black from top to bottom.

"Less, get ready to land!" Li Yuanjing woke up Fang Yiai, who was dreaming, with a hammer.

What's wrong with this?

And your father didn't allow it, so when it really happened, your father was also a savage?

"Your Highness, this seems to be their gathering area, at present, there are thousands of people on the surface, and there may be more people behind them, we should be careful to deal with it!" Xue Rengui reminded with a slight frown.

This time was unlike any previous landing.

This is a direct landing under the eyes of others, and those hostile natives, no one knows if they will attack when they land.

"It doesn't matter, if they dare to make a move, they will be killed!" Li Yuanjing's face did not change color.

……

This is the first time that Li Yuanjing has ordered to be killed.

Of course, the premise is that the other party has the intention to attack.

Otherwise, how could they establish their prestige here?

The inheritance of civilization, the continuation of human beings, whether it is evolution, or anything else.

But there is one thing that cannot be escaped, and that is done in the continuous annexation and killing.

Turning over the entire history of human evolution, it is actually the conquest of human beings again and again for thousands of years.

Because at the beginning of the fight, every dynasty and force was a place with a big fart, forcibly annexing others, promoting their own, and over time, assimilating each other and making it their own.

Maybe......

Probably......

There are one ship after another floating on the sea, the largest is naturally the coal ship made later, which transports three to five hundred people at a time, although it is a little crowded and a little dirty on it, but who cares about these at this time?

As for capsizing, overloading or something!

Don't be funny, still, in a position less than two miles from land, will the navy drown? And when the wind is calm?

If it weren't for the possibility of fighting next, and the temperature was not as hot as in summer, Xue Rengui would have ordered the whole army to swim up.

Guo Huai squatted on a fully loaded boat, which was a professional landing ship made before.

Although it is still so inferior, it is professional enough for the current situation.

It can carry up to 50 people, just one team, wooden structure, using artificial propeller propulsion mode, propelled by the soldiers on board using foot pedals.

The wood is not too heavy, and the quality is not good.

In order to improve its protection ability, an iron plate was added around the ship for protection.

It is obviously very difficult, though not impossible, to attack such a target and to throw a weapon directly into the ship's hold.

This can be regarded as Guo Huai's good life, which is listed as a typical example of the whole army, and there is nothing particularly outstanding in terms of combat performance, at least a lot better than him.

But his brother died in battle, and this moment was a critical juncture for Li Yuanjing to promote policies and improve morale.

Therefore, although he is the deputy team leader, what Guo Huai has received is not an ordinary training.

Generally speaking, the main and deputy teams are one in front and one behind, and no matter what happens, it is impossible for two people to die at the same time, which ensures that the army is always in a state of command.

But in order to cultivate Guo Huai and let him get started as soon as possible, Guo Huai was arranged to be by the side of the team, follow and learn at any time.

At this time, even a fool can see that as long as Guo Huai can pass the test, he will inevitably be promoted to the team leader in the near future.

'Knock ......'

'Puff ......'

Just as the landing force was about to land, the natives who had been staying on the shore began to express their anger.

Although they had been constantly shouting before, as if to warn, the warning had no effect.

And so, the expected attack came.

It's nothing too special, it's just stones, wooden arrows or something, and the little attack power is pitiful.

Not to mention, the Tang army, which had long expected that it might be attacked by the other side, gathered its shield above its head when it approached the shore.

Therefore, this wave of attacks could not cause casualties to the Tang army at all.

"Mother, a group of local people, even dare to take the initiative to attack Lao Tzu, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you bastards today!" Wang Lin, the team leader, scolded angrily, and immediately shouted: "Archers shoot Lao Tzu!" ”
