Chapter 465: Beachfront Landing

In the morning, at the rough waves, countless shadows of ships gradually appeared in the fog, and the two stood side by side on the deck, and a sailor came quickly with a shirtless breeches to report: "Your Excellency, it has been probed, and there are deep water areas nearby. ”

"Keep going." Liu Er gave an order, and put one hand on Zhang Youde's shoulder: "Old Zhang, it's up to you next." Do you want reinforcements from the Marine Corps? ”

"Not necessarily.

Zhang Youde rejected Liu Er's kindness and grinded his palms: "It's not that you don't agree, it's that the soldiers of the 30,000 Haidu Legion are not happy, hehe, Lao Liu, look at it." ”

"Keep going!"

"Keep going!"

"Keep going!"

…………

Liu Er's orders were passed on to the ships one by one, and nearly five hundred large and small ships continued to sail forward, and at this time, the Indian native soldiers stationed on the shore obviously discovered them and hurried forward to give a warning.

"So many ships." The local soldiers who stayed behind were incessant.

Soon. A loud roar rang out from the Sunk Land King's tent: "Gather my land like cavalry." Be sure to thwart the enemy's landing. ”

"It's the ground. King. An officer wearing a nose ring hurried out. Subsequently. The figure of King Sunk also chased out: "Wait a minute. ”

"The King. What else do you command? The official saluted King Sun.

King Sunk paced back and forth with his back. Then he said: "Dark clouds are generally multi-place fleets. How many fighters can it carry? ”

"At least thirty thousand. King. The officer made a rough estimate. Respectfully answered.

"I don't feel like a good day today. Well. Shiva blesses their descendants with victorious land. The original gloomy mood of the King of Sunk was swept away. Then he rejoiced again: "I have never seen such a large fleet of ships, and if we are able to defeat these Han people from afar. Then these ships are my land. My private property. Haha, we need to be careful. Order my land Pandit and his knights to participate in this battle as well. He will bring us good fortune. ”

"Yes, King." The official replied respectfully.

Boom Boom Boom Boom ............ The sound of artillery roared disturbed the tranquility of the coast, and countless shells fell on the coast, blasting the entire coast into sand and rocks like rain, and the Indian soldiers immediately realized the danger, and soon began to withdraw from the range of the artillery, and did not dare to stop until they were miles away.

And the ships near the coast did not seem to target the enemy and bombarded the uninhabited beach, and then one by one the landing craft were put down, and the soldiers full of Haidu regiments began to cruise to the beach, and there were more and more landing ships, as if the entire sea area was covered by this kind of long small ship, Zhang Youde stood on the bow of a landing craft and watched the movement along the coast with a monocular, and finally pouted his lips and roared with high spirits: "Soldiers, row quickly, and earn medals after going ashore." ”

"Hooray." Many hippies sped up their rowing speeds.

Immediately after that, the first landing ship began to approach the beach, and at this time the battleship behind it stopped the roar of artillery, which was not used to bomb people, but as a cover, using the powerful firepower of the fleet to blow up a no-man's land for the landing fighters, and the enemy was waiting for them to kill a mile away at the moment, and there were already enough soldiers who had successfully landed.

"The whole team is coming over here." The officers who landed first immediately called for the flags to be raised, attracting more soldiers who had landed to move closer to this side, ready for the first wave of the enemy's offensive.

The dense landing ships crashed into the beach one after another, and then countless fighters jumped onto the beach with firearms and supplies to assemble.

The Indians on the other side obviously discovered them, but they were too far away, and there were already enough Ming troops on the beach, they were just small troops guarding the early warning along the coast, so they could only watch more and more Ming troops land on the shore, and on the other hand, they were also waiting for the king's troops to come and intercept them.

Zhang Youde also landed on the beach, at this time, more than half of the landing force had been reached, and Zhang Youde began to order a long snake formation with an excited face, intending to sweep.

At this time, the ground suddenly trembled faintly, and the Indian soldiers who were warning in the distance also cheered with joy.

What appeared in front of the Ming army was a huge giant elephant, which gradually came three or four miles away, and the Indian elephant soldiers were in accordance with the old-fashioned military establishment, six as a group, and sixty as a team. Then sixty teams formed an army. The six elephants did not advance in a neat phalanx, because the battle was not a military parade, so they did not pay attention to beauty and neatness. Instead, it occupies six directions in the shape of a plum blossom, leaving enough space for the elephant to sprint and sprint.

An elephant is equipped with a javelinman and an archer, and the archer is responsible for operating the elephant, because the archers have the best eyes,

The sense of direction is also good. Then there was an axe man, with a head and a shield in his hand, ready to fight at any time.

The elephant is huge, with a long trunk, and the most penetrating thing is that there are two long tusks on the side of the mouth. Even though the soldiers of the Ming army had seen this animal in the sea, and used it to train the courage of the soldiers when they were recruited, when they saw hundreds of giant elephants coming to cover up, some of them had already begun to show a look of fear.

The elephant at the end was extremely huge, with a huge red silk canopy behind him, and standing on top of the giant elephant was the most courageous general of the Sunk Kingdom, the prince of the Sunk King, Pandit.

Pandit was covered in rattan armor, holding a huge battle axe in his hand, and his mouth was constantly spitting out various encouraging syllables, standing under the red silk canopy, the burly body had faintly burst out of the muscles in the rattan armor, making this prince like a god of war, majestic.

"Forward, kill these barbarians." If Pandit's words were heard by the Ming soldiers, I am afraid that they would laugh out loud, in the eyes of these Marats, the Han people are barbarians, and similarly, in the minds of the Han people, this group of people can only be regarded as half-orcs, not even barbarians.

Woowoowoowoooo............oo The herald behind Dieter blew his horns, it was an order to attack, and it was clear that the prince was impatient to set up a surprise attack.

The 2,000 elephants lined up in the foreground began to move slowly, then in small steps, and finally in a wild run. Two thousand elephants ran across the battlefield, and the earth shook violently. It felt like a tsunami, like an earthquake......

The recruits of the Ming army, who had just been recruited on the beach, couldn't stand this kind of stimulation and began to quietly retreat, causing a lot of commotion. But the discipline cultivated by years of war was fully experienced in veterans. Their composure quickly infected the recruits and stopped the spread of fear.

"Damn it, these bastards." Zhang De saw that the fear in the eyes of the recruits had been scolded, although no one retreated, but it was enough to make Zhang Youde feel that there was no light on his face, and the officers of the Nanyang Naval Division behind him were watching with monoculars, if it was passed out, he Zhang Youde would never be too headless in front of Mu Jianming and Li Xiao, the two descendants: "Order, shrink the formation, and meet the enemy." ”

"Meet the enemy." The herald shouted: "Shrink the formation!" ”

The results of the harsh training were soon manifested, and the scattered formation immediately harassed for a moment, began to slowly converge, and finally formed several phalanxes, and the young warriors began to load their gunpowder and raise their guns flat, waiting for the officer's next instructions.

"Damn, why doesn't Lao Liu fire yet?" Zhang Youde looked at the fleet behind him with red eyes for a while, the elephant soldiers gradually got closer and closer, and thousands of giant elephants rushed in, which gave Zhang Youde a lot of psychological pressure.

At this moment, the roar suddenly rose, immediately overshadowing the trampling of the giant elephant, and hundreds of large gunboats, thousands of guns, and more than ten guns roared together. After the smoke of gunfire cleared, only a dozen of the elephants fell in front. The rest of the ground was completely ignored by artillery fire, and even the momentum of the impact did not weaken in the slightest.

The first shelling was often tentative, and the elephant herd was obviously only within range of the artillery, so the results were not high, so that the Ming soldiers on the beach thought that the artillery had no effect on the giant elephants, and for a while, all the hands holding the fire cymbals oozed cold sweat.

Zhang Youde understands very well that the elephant herd is actually not terrible, these are what Mu Jianming told him, the biggest trick of the Mu family in Yunnan for hundreds of years is to use the fire gun to shoot the elephant soldiers of the barbarian tribe, very experienced, but he is still a little uneasy, after all, there is the sea behind him, if the elephant herd rushes into the phalanx, the Haidu Legion will really have to feed Wang Ba.

"Don't be afraid, damn it, people are dead and birds are facing the sky, what is there to be afraid of." Zhang Youde scolded loudly, he is not a general who abandons his pen and follows Rong, let alone a child of a family like Mu Jianming, so he is often full of foul language.

Zhang Youde's words obviously didn't have any effect, after all, there were dense giant elephants in front of him, and it was extremely rare for the soldiers to be able to do it without escaping, but nervousness was inevitable, and many people kept rolling their Adam's apples, looking at the elephant herd that was getting closer and closer.

The instructor vomited blood there, their task was to boost morale, equivalent to the instructor of later generations, the governor said these words to tell everyone that it was very dangerous here, and it did not have the effect of encouragement at all, the instructor was silent for a moment, and suddenly opened his throat and shouted: "Long live." ”

"Long live, long live His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." It was almost a reflex response, and any soldier had recited the slogan at least a hundred times, and when the quartermaster shouted it out, many people immediately echoed it.

"Long live, long live His Majesty the Emperor." More people shouted along with them, and many suddenly felt that their nervousness was swept away with the roaring hooray. Convenient for next visit
