A great martial artist took action and placed a warship dozens of meters long across the beach.
The bandits responsible for blocking the attack were unable to destroy such a large warship.
A special operations battalion jumped off the ship, took turns to cover and laid a tactical fence on the beach, and the follow-up troops installed a shield wall that extended out from the warship bit by bit.
The magicians at sea took the opportunity to fly behind the warship bunker and began to assist the landing soldiers in combat.
Once they were able to successfully gain a foothold on the beach and lay down a defensive belt, the next step was simple. A large number of soldiers rushed to the beach and surrounded the shield wall and pushed towards the shore.
The special operations battalion that was the first to disembark formed an assault formation and covered a group of magicians rushing to the flanks, protected by two dominator knights in the sky.
They do not charge at the position where the bandits are most concentrated, but at the place with the fewest bandits, just to seize a close combat point.
Once melee combat begins, the threat of long-range attacks is greatly reduced, and a hole can be opened in the blocking defense line.
The battle went as smoothly as expected. The right wing of the blocking position was broken through by the special operations battalion. A transport ship took the opportunity to rush onto the beach. Two thousand crossbowmen formed a formation under the cover of the special operations battalion.
Now the first line of resistance collapsed.
The successful tactics were immediately spread to the other two landing sites, and multiple battleships with strong hulls rushed onto the beach driven by wind and manpower.
Such a "suicide" charge tactic was very expensive, and the warships that washed up on the beach were basically scrapped. The lower half of the ship was damaged by the long-range strike, and the keel would inevitably deform when it was pressed on the beach. It was sent to the shipyard for repair, and the cost was about the same as building a new ship.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to spend too much money on anti-bandit wars. If military expenditure exceeds the standard by too much, the commander's career will be over.
Xuanyuan Xiong is not worried about excessive military expenditures. The money is paid by himself and his companions. As long as the war is fought beautifully, spending more is not a problem.
The crusade army established a foothold on the first blocking line, and all the magicians accompanying the army entered the position. Under the cover of the sixth-level combatants, they launched a powerful attack on the second blocking line.
The smoothest thing is along the Fandong Temple road. There is a special operations battalion that attacks with overwhelming force. If the follow-up troops run fast, they can still kill them, but if they run slowly, they can only clean up the battlefield.
The other two routes were not too smooth. After suffering a certain amount of casualties, they still broke through the bandit resistance and successfully established a safe landing point.
There are still nearly 200,000 bandit troops on Yinsha Island, but the small landing point cannot deploy all the troops, so Chu Kui had to order to retreat to the city circle.
After noon, a large number of transport ships began to dock at the temporary dock, and the main force of the crusade landed.
As dusk approached, the Second Special Operations Regiment, with the help of two divisions, captured a large fishing port. The main fleet anchored outside and formed a protective circle. Transport ships and reconnaissance ships sailed into the fishing port in an orderly manner.
Xuanyuan Xiong's extensive preparations before the war paid off, and 200,000 of the expeditionary troops were able to go ashore for dinner.
The main fleet also needs to protect the empty transport ships and return them to the navy camp, and then protect the logistics supplies and deliver them to Silver Sand Island in batches.
Ding Kui was enjoying a seafood feast when a white light flashed in front of him, indicating that Gui Jing had arrived.
"Sir, I finally see you." He stood up and saluted.
Gui Jing frowned and said, "Eat less! Your desire for words makes you greedy for the five senses, and greed for the five senses affects your understanding of the rules."
Ding Kui wiped his mouth and replied: "I won't eat it, I won't eat it."
"Look at how dissatisfied you are."
"Is there any?" Ding Kui rubbed his face.
"Humph! It's just written on your face. The body's functions are limited, and if the load is too great, it will consume your vitality. The five senses stimulate the five internal organs, the five internal organs will be damaged, and the six internal organs will be imbalanced. Although you are young, you cannot squander yourself, otherwise you will not have time to regret it when you are old."
Jing did not hesitate to say a few more words.
This sounds like traditional Chinese medicine health care, and it seems to make some sense.
Ding Kui finally listened. The body is the capital of revolution.
"Kui is so ashamed! I will remember your teachings in the future."
"We have secured a landing point over there, and no one from the Thousand Island Alliance has been found. I believe they will abide by the rules."
It turns out that Gui Jing has been secretly supervising the landing of the expeditionary army to prevent violations of the Grand Alliance's ban.
"Oh, I logged in successfully." Ding Kui immediately asked someone to write it down.
"The next step is to patrol the surrounding sea areas and transport logistics supplies. An additional 50,000 people should be sent here to protect the logistics base."
There are warships patrolling the sea area. Ding Kui is not afraid of sneak attacks by the Yinsha Island bandits. With the addition of the reconnaissance ship, he will definitely be able to annihilate the sneak attack troops at sea.
The navy camp still needs troops to be stationed, so that the fleet can go to sea with confidence and make every effort to maintain maritime safety.
A thousand warships docked in the port, and if each ship had a thousand soldiers, that would be the strength of a legion. It could hold the camp without an army.
However, the camp is safe enough, and a thousand warships can be added to the sea, which can ensure the safety of large sea areas and deter pirates and bandits.
"I will go to Silver Sand Island in two days to have a look. There are magic guilds in all the cities and counties on the island. I wonder if the bandit army will destroy it." Gui Jing also asked about the magic guild.
After all, it is a royal territory, and outstanding magicians will be recommended as enshriners first, and the chief envoy has the need to inspect.
"Aren't you going to protect the children of the royal family? Yang Feng and his men have been identified as bandits. They have kidnapped Shao Dianyong's family. Shouldn't it be rescued by the priest?" Ding Kui thought of Shao Dianyong's plea.
It would be best to ask Gui Jing to take action, it is safe and secure.
"It makes sense. You can consider calling Xingzhu over and asking her to rescue Shaodianyong's family." Gui Jing was thinking of the heir.
"Ah? She is not a worshipper."
"I said she is, so she is."
Are you kidding? How can the successors trained by Guijing not be enshrined?
"There are also sixth-level warriors in the bandit army. Xingzhu cannot do it alone. Please allow me, the junior, to lend a helping hand to Ruan Chong." Seeing that Gui Jing refused to take action, Ding Kui had to take the initiative to apply to fight.
"You can't! Don't always tempt me to make mistakes. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Just stay here and wait for the news."
Ding Kui is like a three-year-old child playing tricks on people who are two or three hundred years old.
"Well, Yinsha Island has many mountains and mines. The crusade army lacks war horses and lacks mobility. As long as Yang Feng and others are not stupid, there is basically no possibility of a quick victory." Ding Kui was afraid of the bandits' guerrilla attack.
If the 200,000 bandits were broken into pieces and drilled into the mountains and mines, the crusade would be in a dilemma.
"I think Yang Feng and Chu Kui don't want to be taken seriously as bandits. They can't bear that kind of hardship." Gui Jing rarely expresses personal opinions.
From Ding Kui's point of view, it was undoubtedly novel that the chief minister did not care about people who had nothing to do with him, but actually knew the personal information of low-level combatants like Yang Feng and Chu Kui.
"You can't endure hardships even if you are a soldier?" Ding Kui didn't believe it.
"People with great ambitions will not give up easily what they have gained. Yang Feng and Chu Kui are both ambitious people. Like you, they will not be willing to live the rest of their lives as mountain kings." Gui Jing is an old man.
.
"It seems to make sense." Ding Kui put himself into thinking.
