Chapter 729: Serious Negligence

It was not until Shen Shi that Zhang Han's fleet gathered all the pirates floating on the sea. Please search () to see the most comprehensive! Most of the fastest updated novels, the pirates were transferred to those small boats and dragged behind the big boats. On the big boat, some soldiers were sent to monitor the sailors to drive the boats and follow the fleet toward Zhoushan Island.

Zhang Han had sent a pigeon letter to the Lu Master in Ningbo, and they agreed to meet in Zhoushan and attack the pirates' nest together tomorrow. That night, Zhang Han also asked his subordinates to investigate the sailors of these pirates to see if these sailors had committed murder. Because he thought these sailors were not bad, and if they were not guilty and could obey orders, it would be best to use them to replenish the power of the navy. Although the navy's personnel had reached more than 20,000 at this time, there were a shortage of sailors who could operate large ships and needed to be retrained. With these hundreds of available sailors, they naturally wanted to join their subordinates.

Originally, he wanted these captured pirates to go to the island to persuade them to surrender, but in the end he gave up this idea. After all, this island-based battle also means training, and to explore experience in attacking Liaodong from sea from the future, so no matter whether the battle is difficult or not, they have to try it.

However, their idea of ​​training troops was basically not realized, because the warriors on the island had been wiped out or captured by them in the daytime naval battle. The ones left on the island were just old, weak, women and children, and they had no combat power at all.

At noon the next day, Zhang Han led a fleet to cover the landing troops and arrived at the waters of Dongji Island. The land division on the fishing boat first waited in the distance, and the warship patroled along the island for a section and found the water camp on the island. Then it was a long-range strike, using the cannons on the ship and the stone thrower to fire projectiles and bombs at the water camp.

Amid the rumbling sound of cannons and explosions, some of the water camps were destroyed, but they did not encounter any counterattacks, nor did they see the people in the water camps running for a long time. So after just three or four rounds of artillery attacks, Zhang Han stopped bombarding and let the land division start to get ashore.

The fishing boat carrying the landing division began to rush towards the beach, and the instructions obtained by these fishing boats were to rush to the beach. Although the owners were unwilling to let their ships be damaged, there was no way at this time, and they could only do it according to the wishes of the soldiers. As for the compensation the officers told them, they could only serve as their psychological placebo at this time. In their impression, the army was just bandits wearing official clothes, and the ships were collected by the government, so they could only admit that they were unlucky.

Zhang Han commanded the fleet, including the transport fleet, to cruise less than 200 steps from the beach, and at the same time used naval guns and stone throwers to bombard the beach area where they were scheduled to land. Even though there seemed to be no enemy situation near the beach, they still fired shells and bombs during the round-trip cruise.

The projectile flew across the beach and flew to the bushes and hills farther away. The shells broke the bushes and continued to fly and jump until their speed was exhausted. Occasionally, one or two injured people hiding in the bushes, causing a scream, and then scared the people who were peeping on the hills to escape.<>The bombs that exploded densely around the beach also made the escaped people feel scared.

Seeing that the fishing boat was less than a hundred steps away from the beach, Zhang Han ordered the fleet to stop bombarding so as not to accidentally hurt his own people. He asked Luo Miaoxuan, who was standing beside him, "How about Luo Zhuan, how about Luo?"

Although Luo Miaoxuan was shocked, his face was not visible. Even if his face changed, he would be hidden by his dark uniform. He said disdainfully: "The general wants to let me see how much ammunition has the government army wasted in vain? I have already said that the island is full of old, weak, women and children, and there is no resistance. As long as someone sends a letter, the people on the island will welcome the Daliang King's Army on the beach."

Zhang Han didn't care about Luo Miaoxuan's attitude and continued to ask: "What would happen if you wanted to block the official army from landing on the beach? Now I haven't seen any defense on the hill behind, otherwise we can get closer and continue to attack the enemy's defensive positions."

Luo Miaoxuan no longer knew what to say at this time. He knew that even the two swords of their soldiers would not collapse under such a blow. After the land army successfully landed, with the invincible military force that Daliang was aimed at, no island nest would be a safe place.

Zhang Han looked at Luo Miaoxuan, who was speechless and said proudly: "As long as there is water, my beam can attack from anywhere. My beam's enemies have no safe hiding place."

Luo Miaoxuan still didn't say anything. He just looked at hundreds of fishing boats and rushed to the beach quickly. However, after looking at it for a while, he was a little surprised that there were only a few soldiers coming down on the fishing boats that had already rushed to the beach, and I don't know what was wrong.

Zhang Han also discovered the problem and immediately observed it with a telescope. It didn't matter when he saw it, and almost blew him up. Most of the soldiers on the fishing boat were seasick. Except for a few who did not have seasickness to go on the shore, many people were lying on the side of the boat and vomiting.

"Send a signal!" He immediately ordered: "The warship leans forward and covers the Land Division. The transport ship lowers the boat, transports a hundred sailors up, and provides warning and cover for the Land Division!"

Then he whispered: "It's so stupid! He can actually feel seasick!"

"Hahaha!" Luo Miaoxuan suddenly couldn't help laughing. After laughing for a while, he said with difficulty: "Oh my God, Daliang used these land ducks to fight the island? Fortunately, the island is full of old, weak, women and children, otherwise, these people would probably see the Dragon Prince."

Zhang Han was angry with a dark face. He forgot that before going to sea, these land divisions should be trained to sail at sea, and at least the soldiers should not be seasick.

He also ordered his deputy: "Remember that the troops that land on the island should be trained in advance to overcome the symptoms of seasickness."

"Do I need to go to the island to let the people on the island come out and help your soldiers?" Luo Miaoxuan asked happily, not worried at all that the government army would lose tolerance for him. <>Although he was not sure whether the government army would recruit him, he also knew that he would not be in danger of his life before being sent to Shandong. Moreover, he knew that he would be looked down upon by others and would rather be free and easy.

Zhang Han had already calmed down and said disdainfully: "Not to mention a group of mobs, even hundreds of elite soldiers, don't think about anything."

At this time, the warship had approached the island nearly a hundred steps, and the artillery and stone thrower were ready. Moreover, his sailors had already arrived ashore and began to organize alert on the shore. The soldiers of the Land Division were slowly recovering, and at least a few tiger squat cannons had been set up on the beach. Some soldiers also took muskets and other weapons with the sailors to organize alert. With his fleet support, the enemy could not do anything to them.
