After the fleet arrived, it did not encounter any obstacles, and there was no one even on the coast, because the water was shallow, the battleships could not dock, so Liu Xie ordered all the marines to go ashore in landing craft.

The 200 warships carried a total of 100,000 Han marines, 10,000 sailors, and 30,000 colonists.

Due to the large number of people, it took a long time to land, and Liu Xie has been watching the busy coast from the flagship. He was accompanied by two people, one was Xiao Luozi, the chief eunuch, and the other was Huang Tan, a young general.

Huang Tan is the son of Huang Zhong and is eighteen years old this year. Before him, Huang Zhong also had a son Huang Xu, but unfortunately this Huang Xu has been weak and sick since he was a child, and Huang Zhong has been looking for doctors and medicines everywhere for him, so he has also delayed his piety.

At that time, Liu Xie had not yet ascended the throne, and when he was about five or six years old, for his future rise, Yan Er searched for talents everywhere, including Huang Zhong, in addition to Huang Zhong, there were Tai Shici, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, these four people were called the protector of the four King Kongs, but unfortunately later Lu Bu rebelled, and the four King Kongs became three King Kongs.

At that time, Huang Zhong was already thirty-five years old, without any official position, just an ordinary person.

Huang Zhong took refuge in Liu Xie, Liu Xie had not yet ascended the throne at that time, but his grandmother Dong was rich, so he secretly used Dong's money to see Huang Xu in many ways, but he still did not take a good look at him, and died of illness before Liu Xie ascended the throne.

Liu Xie secretly matched again and renewed the strings for Huang Zhong, and later there was Huang Tan. When Huang Tan was born, Liu Xie still had not yet ascended the throne.

Later, Liu Xie ascended the throne, and with the help of the four King Kongs, Liu Xie counterattacked strongly, punished Dong Zhuo, and seized power.

Huang Zhong has a middle-aged son, is very favored, grateful to Liu Xie, and is also very loyal to Liu Xie. After Liu Xie ascended the throne, he repeatedly persuaded Huang Zhong to temper his son more and make him stronger, so as not to follow in the footsteps of his deceased brother's weak body.

At this moment, Huang Tan was by his side, eighteen years old, with a strong body and extraordinary energy. Liu Xie watched the soldiers landing, and Huang Tan took the telescope and looked around, looking at the beach for a while, the woods for a while, and the sky for a while.

Liu Xie glanced at him and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Huang Tan didn't seem to hear him, he was still looking around, and his expression was very serious. Liu Xie shouted again: "I asked you, what are you looking at?" ”

Huang Tan put down the binoculars and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that something is wrong. ”

"Oh? What's wrong? Afraid of an ambush? My mighty army of the Han Dynasty came to this wild place, destroying the withered and decaying, why be afraid? ”

As he spoke, he saw a large black dot rise from behind the trees in front of him, flying towards him, accompanied by a whistling sound. Huang Tan exclaimed, "It's a cannonball!" Your Majesty, dodge, escort! ”

Huang Tan said and escorted Liu Xie to the cabin to dodge.

Liu Xie was taken aback, how could there be cannonballs in a wild place? But then he found the answer, since the ghost car can come here, then why can't there be shells here?

Immediately there was the sound of explosions, explosions everywhere, one after another.

The battleship also jolted violently, and the explosion was deafening. Liu Xie sent the order: "Quick, go down, all the battleships will fire!" ”

The maneuverability of the Han warships was also very strong, and while they were attacked again, they quickly reacted and began to counterattack, with 200 main guns, constantly firing artillery bombardment deep into the woods ahead, and it was an all-round carpet bombardment within the fire coverage.

Liu Xie once again sent an order, telling the marines to stand by on the beach and wait for the shelling to be almost over before acting.

After a round of shelling, the rear of the woods also fell silent, and no more artillery was fired in this direction.

The attack stopped, and a message from Zhuge Liang came from the radio, asking about the next step. Zhuge Liang and Liu Xie are no longer on the same battleship.

Liu Xie asked: "What is the opinion of the military advisor?" ”

Through a radio call, Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that a group of commandos will be sent in to find out the situation first, and then a large-scale ground attack will be carried out. ”

Liu Xie thought about it and said, before this was fought, the other party shelled first, which not only showed that they had heavy firearms, but also intelligence reconnaissance methods, and for the safety of the Han army, it was necessary to conduct some reconnaissance.

Liu Xie said: "Okay, immediately stop the commandos from going to investigate, and send a telegram to the rear, so that the airship troops in Yangzhou can quickly reinforce them, we need to have air reconnaissance and strike forces." Kong Ming, we have seriously underestimated the enemy. ”

Kong Ming said: "Yes." ”

Huang Tan beside him said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has asked to join the commando. ”

"You? No way! Liu Xie directly refused.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is to serve the court when he joins the army, and at this moment of crisis, it is the time for Weichen to come forward and make contributions!"

Liu Xie said: "Your father is old and has a son, just a precious son of yours, originally wanted you to learn literature, but I persuaded him to let you learn martial arts, and now I have specially arranged you by my side, just to protect you." The commandos are in danger, and if you say you have a bad situation, how can I explain it to your father! ”

Huang Tan said: "Your Majesty, my father is brave and brave, and his son can't retreat behind." ”

As he was talking, Huang Zhong also sent a telegram and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to organize a commando?" ”

Liu Xie said: "Yes, Han Sheng, I need to understand the enemy's military deployment. ”

Huang Tan shouted on the side: "Father, I want to join the commando!" ”

Huang Zhong is in the ground troops, and at this moment he has landed on the beach, using a wireless intercom radio. Hearing the shouting of his son on the other end of the radio, he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen and the dog are at your disposal at any time. ”

"Hansheng, isn't that okay?"

Huang Zhong said: "To be born as a Han is to serve the imperial court and contribute youth and blood. ”

Liu Xie disconnected Huang Zhong and said to Huang Tan instead: "Okay, you will be the captain of the assault team this time, you will immediately choose a team of men, and you will lead the infiltration into the rear of the enemy's position, the personnel will be selected by you, and the number will be decided by you." I hope that in an hour at most, you will be able to go. Be careful, bring the radio with you, and stay in touch at all times. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Huang Tan said that he retreated.

Seeing Huang Tan leaving, Liu Xie ordered the fleet to aim their guns at the depths of the dense forest on the shore, stay vigilant, and be ready to shell at any time. After the deployment, Liu Xie said to Xiao Luozi: "Go, get ready to go ashore!" ”

Accompanied by Xiao Luozi, Liu Xie walked to the side of the boat, where a small boat was hung. The two got into the boat, and then took the speedboat to the shore.

The shore was already densely packed with Han troops, and a camp was being built, so Liu Xie inspected everywhere, and after some inspection, about an hour later, he saw a guard running over in a panic and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Cai sent a telegram saying that Princess Pingyuan is missing." ”
