cpa300_4(); As far as the eye can see, on the offshore waters of the Eastern Ocean, there are many densely packed warships. See %book%cabinet%^kansHhuge^ latest~ update

The nearest is about a few nautical miles from the shore, and the farthest stretches outward. Among them, the largest one must have 1,200 materials, which is only one size smaller than the largest fortune ship in the empire. Moving his gaze further to the shore, he could clearly see a large number of small boats being lowered from the troop carriers, carrying soldiers who were equipped to resemble those of the emperor*.

However, the flags hoisted by these sailors are very conspicuous, Omanis!

What these cavalrymen who inadvertently broke into the landing site did not know was that the patrol fleet of the Ninghai Division in the coastal waters had already discovered the traces of the Nanyang Naval Division before them, but unfortunately they were expelled before they could see it clearly. But the instinct of the soldiers still made these conscientious cavalrymen aware of the huge crisis.

With a heart-rending shout, the cavalry quickly shot with their bows and arrows the two pirates who had retreated to the seashore with no way to escape, and then immediately turned their horses and returned to call the police.

"Damn, the landing site was discovered in advance by the Ninghai people!"

When fifty Songjiang cavalry observed the landing of the Nanyang Naval Division, the troops of the Kingdom of Oman Guards on the clipper ship also fell into a state of mixed anger. By the time they had given priority to sending the hundred cavalry ashore and attempting to hunt them down, the fifty cavalry had already been out of reach.

The two pirates who had fled here had lost their lives and were unable to reveal anything useful, leaving the first batch of Omanis to land in a state of confusion about the true shape of the vicinity of Quanzhou. But they could clearly feel that Haikou's actions did not seem to be very smooth, and that some unknown variables had appeared.

"Sue the sailors who go back, and let our men speed up the landing."

The captain of the Omani cavalry glanced back, feeling a sense of foreboding.

………

Before evening, far more shocking news than the Haikou's retaliation reached the Military Intelligence Department and the Quanzhou government, which were waiting for the good news, and the impact of this unexpected information was almost like a nuclear explosion.

If it weren't for the sailors and the cavalry who reported the news at the same time, almost no one would have dared to believe even a word they heard.

The sailors of the Kingdom of Oman invaded and landed near the port of Quanzhou!

"Doesn't it mean that the Black Sword Operation is just a revenge for the pirates......" Chai Yi's head thought quickly, his expression unprecedentedly solemn. He soon realized that the military intelligence department of the Matsue Army had not collected all the information. Perhaps, the riots caused by the pirates were only part of Operation Black Sword, and the real core was the Omanis who landed later!

But where did the Omanis get so many sailors?

Although the news reported by the Ninghai Division did not give too accurate figures, one thing is certain, the scale is much larger than the current Ninghai Division, and it is impossible to say if it is more than doubled. If there were really so many sea ships, why would the Omanis have hit a wall on the South Peak fortress until now.

Can't figure it out!

However, the focus now is not on figuring out where the Omani sailors came from. It was imperative to find out the true scale of the Omani landing and to send troops to stop this Omani surprise force.

After digesting the impact of this news, Chai Yi now only has the word "happy" in his heart. Fortunately, the Songjiang Army had made full preparations before, and there was a cavalry group of a brigade in charge.

It is certain that the troops sent by the Omanis to land must be a rare elite. The Ninghai Garrison Brigade alone, as well as the Dengzhou Garrison Force, which was still stationed at the border between the two counties, were probably not enough to confront them. At the moment, the only pillars who can bear the heavy responsibility are these thousands of cavalry!

"We don't have time, we have to do what we can."

As a capable subordinate who was favored by Gan Xing, Chai Yi quickly sorted out the information and sent it to the various armies involved, and at the same time sent the major changes in Ninghai County to Dengzhou and the front line at an expedited speed of 600 miles. In the event that the war in Ninghai County is unfavorable, more troops must be mobilized to intercept and destroy this Omani army.

The first to respond was Quanzhou Mansion, one of the three prefectures of Ninghai.

Upon learning of the landing of the Omani sailors, the port of Quanzhou had entered a state of martial law from a state of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside, and blocked the gates on three sides except for the sea. The Ninghai division also urgently mobilized, regardless of the poor sea conditions, and prepared to go out of the port for battle, and at the same time sent fast ships to the Omani sailors for further reconnaissance.

The size of the enemy's naval division seems to be large, but since it is necessary to bring a large number of troops to land across the sea, it is necessary to free up a lot of space to carry food, grass and water. These supplies, as well as the landing force itself, will occupy a lot of space in the fleet, severely affecting the combat effectiveness of the naval division.

Because of this, even if he knew that the current scale of the Ninghai Division was inferior to the enemy, Shi Liang, the commander of the Naval Division, dared to show his sword and fight.

What's more, the enemy has already hit the top of the head, even if you don't want to fight back!

In addition to the port of Quanzhou, which was ready to defend the city, and the sailors who were actively preparing for battle, several armies near Quanzhou also received orders before night completely fell: to be vigilant at night, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, and to actively move closer after dawn. It was not necessary to fully converge, but the Ninghai Garrison Brigade must be within ten miles of the Songjiang cavalry, so that it could be quickly reinforced in the event of an engagement.

In addition, the cavalry wore stars and moons, and reported to the Shazhou, Hualien and the Dengzhou garrison at the junction respectively. Let the 3rd Brigade of the Dengzhou Garrison Division cross the border to join the battle sequence of Ninghai County as much as possible.

As a flurry of information was issued, more detailed information was put together.

The shape of the battlefield was quickly being figured out by the Songjiang Army, which had a favorable geographical position: the large-scale landing of the Omanis was completed before dark, and a rudimentary camp was soon established. It can be expected that on the first night of the landing, the Omanis must have been extremely vigilant, and it should be impossible to attack the camp.

As for the sailors in charge of escorting and landing, it seems that they have no intention of going to war with the Empire. Knowing that the Ninghai division was wandering out of the port and had the intention of approaching his side, the Omani sailors were almost frightened, and immediately gave up the idea of transporting the last batch to the shore, pulled anchor and headed south overnight, abandoning the Omani infantry that had already landed ten miles south of Quanzhou Port, and it seemed that there was no idea of providing further cover.

"The sailors of the Omanis fled?"

This move of retreating without a fight not only surprised Shi Liang and relieved the Quanzhou government, but also stunned the military intelligence department in a solemn atmosphere.

"Could it be that this naval division unit is in a hurry to go back to transport the second wave of landing troops?"

Some intelligence officers analyze it this way, but this inference is unreliable no matter how you look at it. The most important thing about the so-called surprise soldier is to be surprised. And the matter of transporting infantry troops to land behind enemy lines will take a month at the speed of sailors. If during this period, the Songjiang Army failed to solve the first landing force, then it did not matter whether there was a second wave of troops at all. If it is solved, the same is true...... There is no need for the second wave of troops to come!

"Could it be that the Omani sailors and apprentices have their appearances, but they are just spectacles, and they dare not fight our Ninghai masters?"

This hypothesis was soon proposed, but it was also unconvincing.

If the Empire's East Sea Division is here, it makes sense for the Omani sailors to avoid the war. But the weakness of the Ninghai division, just as the Omanis did not have a naval division, is also not a secret. Judging by the size of the previous landing fleet, the Bining Sea Division was only a small one. Even if the strength is really not good, it is not too late to at least try to fight and then retreat.

What's more, judging from the judgment sent by Shi Liang, the Omani sailors looked a little strange, but the training was quite good, not like a newly built sailor.

No one could think of the truth to the Andaman Federation, and even many of those present had never heard of this city-state kingdom in the South Seas. But one thing is for sure, the Omani sailors don't seem to have the idea of covering that strange army.

This means that the unit that landed has become a lone army!

As long as the Ninghai division re-seals the nearby seas, this Omani elite will be completely encircled. Without supplies and reinforcements, there is no way out of even defeat, and can only be wiped out by the sea.

Making this inference, the haze that was originally due to the surprise troops and large-scale landings of the Omanis dissipated a lot.

Several intelligence officers from the MI were relieved, and even joked, saying that there were high-ranking people on the Omani side, who could be exactly like our governor's thoughts. In the same way, take the sea route to land in the enemy's hinterland, and even the time of launch and the port chosen have similarities!

A solemn night slowly passed in the silence of both sides.

As soon as the sky dawned, the Songjiang army, which had been charging all night, suddenly started with all its strength as if it had tightened its clockwork. As further reconnaissance came back, the Matsue Army almost completely grasped the situation of the entire battlefield.

The Omanis who landed appeared to be well-trained, about a brigade in size, with a small number of cavalry. The reconnaissance cavalry sent by the Songjiang Army to reconnoiter had already fought with these cavalry several times, and each had casualties.

To the east of these 4,000 Omani infantry troops is the Eastern Ocean, which has been blockaded by the Ninghai Division; To the north, there is the port of Quanzhou, which is waiting for battle; To the west, there are 4,000 Ninghai garrison brigades and 4,000 cavalry of the Songjiang Army, which are rapidly converging.

The only way out left for the Omanis is to go south, or defend on the spot!

What the Matsue Army wants to see is undoubtedly the latter. As long as it can drag on for a week, wait for the Dengzhou garrison division at the border to arrive and block the southern side of the Omanis, then it will be able to form a comprehensive encirclement of the Omanis. There were 4,000 infantry troops on each side of the west and south, and cavalry loitered around in search of opportunities for attack or reinforcements. When necessary, the sailors were able to come close to help, and even directly log in behind the attack on the Omanis.

I have to say that the Omanis saw the weakness of the Songjiang army, and if it succeeded, it would definitely have the effect of deciding the outcome of the victory. But unfortunately, their luck was a little worse and they happened to collide with Chen Wu's plan.

Coincidentally, what should have been a hearty surprise attack around the rear turned into the Omanis taking the initiative to send the elite into the encirclement of the Songjiang army.

After the large-scale but undaring sailor left in a hurry, this lone army has become the meal of the Songjiang army. It's just that its bones are a little harder, and if you want to eat it, you have to be careful of losing your teeth!
