Because of the navy's negligence, Qiongzhou almost fell into chaos, although the army successfully repelled the enemy and resolved the crisis, but also caused thousands of casualties on its own side. This is definitely a heavy loss for Fan Jinyan, who has had a smooth journey.

Three days later, Fan Jinyan finally arrived at Qiongshan City, the capital city of Beizhou, and he did not go directly to the city to rest, but brought a group of officers at all levels of the army and navy to the beach battlefield.

Although the bridge had been turned into dust and smoke by the naval warship shelling later, the traces on the battlefield were still shocking, especially the traces left by the dozens of piles of burning, and the more than 5,000 people who were alive a few days ago were now turned into dust flying in the sky.

Fan Jinyan spit out a breath of turbidity, and said unhurriedly: "Ben Hou always thought that there was a sea moat in Qiongzhou, which was safer than anywhere else, but he never expected that he would be touched under the nose of the enemy."

Before he finished speaking, he knelt on the ground in an uproar.

Of course, there is always such a pretending to be forced to like to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf and not kneel.

However, no one cares whether he kneels or not, and they all wait cautiously for Fan Jinyan's anger.

Fan Jinyan naturally noticed the actions of the generals behind him, turned to look at his subordinates who were silent all over the ground, smiled, and did not speak. As for Qin Yuan, who didn't kneel, he didn't care, so he got used to it.

"The last general is guilty, please punish the Hou Ye." Fan Jinyan didn't say anything, and Yang Dahai, as the commander of the navy, took the initiative to admit his mistake first.

Fan Jinyan was not angry, and said nonchalantly: "What are your crimes? Wasn't the bridge still destroyed by the Navy? ”

"Hou Ye" saw Fan Jinyan's reply without yin or yang, Yang Dahai was anxious, "Hou Ye, even if you kill the last general, the last general will never complain, but you"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fan Jinyan waving his hand, "Who is the commander of the team cruising this sea area?" ”

"Yes, it's the lowly Li, Li Qiyue, the lowly position, the lowly position" Before Yang Dahai could say who the commander was, the person who made the mistake took the initiative to be afraid.

Fan Jinyan saw that he was sweating profusely, looking haggard, trembling, and he was originally on fire, and the vine was lit up at once, and said angrily: "What are you doing to eat, why did the enemy toss around in your defense area all night, but you don't know anything?" Do you know that just like you, Ben Hou can't wait to kill you with his own hands. ”

In fact, Li Qiyue had been beaten by Yang Dahai with a full hundred military sticks before Fan Jinyan came, and it was already a miracle that he could survive, and now when he heard Fan Jinyan still want to Ling Chi himself, he couldn't help but lose his soul in fright, and shouted: "Hou Ye spares his life!" Hou Ye, Hou Ye, I know that I am wrong, Hou Ye"

The more Fan Jinyan looked at him with a handful of noses and tears, the more angry he became, and he stepped forward and flew up with a kick, which happened to kick Li Qiyue's face, kicking him full of blood and screaming in pain.

Fan Jinyan was not only angry, but scolded loudly: "Waste, how can Lao Tzu have such a cowardly subordinate as you, shame!" Lao Tzu won't kill you today, get out, get out of Lao Tzu. ”

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye," Li Qiyue was originally a native of Qiongzhou, and he had always relied on his cleverness to become the commander of thirty warships in his twenties. For this reason, the threshold of their family has been flattened by the matchmakers, and they are free from a golden beetle son-in-law.

But young people who are ambitious often make mistakes because they get carried away, and Li Qiyue is no exception, he just didn't take Li Zicheng in his eyes, and he didn't cruise regularly according to the regulations, so he made a big mistake.

In fact, he has to be tougher, Fan Jinyan will scold at most, and if he is demoted, it will be over.

But this unproductive one, just because he was frightened by Fan Jinyan's words, but Fan Jinyan looked down on him more and more, and he hated iron and steel.

Li Qiyue didn't leave, looked at Fan Jinyan in despair, and suddenly shouted: "Master Hou, I know that I am wrong. ”

After shouting, he pulled out a military thorn and inserted it into his heart.

Fan Jinyan didn't expect Li Qiyue to commit suicide, so he was stunned for a moment, looking at the desperate eyes of this young man, a trace of unbearability suddenly rose in his heart.

Fan Jinyan closed his eyes and sighed, and said: "If the order goes down, it is strictly forbidden to spread the news that Li Qiyue committed suicide by dereliction of duty, and he declared that he was a martyr who died in battle, buried him thickly, and compensated his family according to the rank of colonel. ”

"The last general will obey the orders of the marquis." The generals replied in unison.

"Even if this matter is over, it must no longer be discussed in private." After Fan Jinyan finished speaking, he continued: "Yang Dahai, Ben Hou also hopes that the navy can learn a lesson from this, and if there is any mistake next time, you are the only one who asks." ”

Yang Dahai knew that this matter was really over, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "If a similar situation occurs again, you don't need to do it yourself, and you will wipe your neck at the end." ”

Fan Jinyan's plan has always been to take the initiative to wait for Li Zicheng to attack, so as to reap the benefits.

However, after this incident, Fan Jinyan decided to change his strategy, took the initiative to attack, smashed Huanglong, and killed Li Zicheng, who claimed to have nine lives.

Li Zicheng has not been in Leizhou for a long time, and there is no mass base at all, and he is even a little hated. Therefore, Fan Jinyan did not hesitate to decide to fight across the sea.

In addition to the 50 warships stationed in Haiphong, the remaining 200 warships and warships loaded with 20,000 soldiers crossed the Qiongzhou Strait and landed on the land of the Central Plains mainland two days later.

This time it was Fan Jinyan who personally led the troops to supervise the battle, and it was also the first time he led an army of 20,000 to fight, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

However, fortunately, he still has Li Dingguo, a backhand, and soon regained his self-confidence.

After going ashore, Fan Jinyan did not directly order the army to kill Leizhou City, but set up camp near a small fishing village near the beach, dug three trenches, planted mines, and so on.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Fan Jinyan ordered Yang Dahai's navy to surround the entire Leizhou Strait and bombard all ports and shipyards to ensure that Leizhou ships could not go to sea.

Leizhou is long and narrow, mountainous, there are three counties of Xuwen, Zhanjiang and Suixi, which are located in the narrow Leizhou Peninsula in a vertical type.

The nearest was Suixi County, which Fan Jinyan wanted to take as a base first, but for safety reasons, he ordered Qin Yuan's mountain combat regiment to cross Suixi and deploy a defense in a large mountain between Suixi and Zhanjiang to resist Li Zicheng's reinforcements.

However, his decision made Wei Dayou very annoyed, and regardless of his face, he immediately objected. (To be continued.) )
