Chapter 396: Shelling

Zhang Dabao, who was on the position of the artillery unit of the Qi Army, was also looking at the forward brigade position opposite with a nervous face at this time, and he was actually a little happy while being nervous.

Because the person who is playing against his team today is his old boss Xiao Yao, and the group of comrades who completely looked down on him before and only entered the forward battalion by relying on relationships!

Today I want you to taste my Zhang Dabao's awesomeness! And Xiao Yao, you hypocrite, keep saying that the soldiers of the forward battalion are your brothers, but I, Zhang Dabao, in your eyes, is just the son of a general who does not learn and has no skills, not to mention that he bought all the soldiers I brought, and treats me as an ordinary soldier. I, Zhang Dabao, am a general, a general who commands his soldiers to go into battle to kill the enemy, but I am not a waste in your eyes! After I have defeated you, I want you all to kneel before me and beg for mercy, and then I will put you to death one by one!

Zhang Dabao was extremely excited in his heart, because in the previous battle of Xuzhou, the artillery unit he commanded really played well, and at once Lu Guangda's tens of thousands of troops were crushed, and they fled, leaving countless dead and wounded soldiers!

This victory made Zhang Dabao's confidence swell unprecedentedly, thinking that he himself had surpassed Xiao Yao and mastered the essence of commanding this artillery unit!

And he also knew that Xiao Yao didn't have any artillery in his hand now, and Xiao Yao couldn't deal with these powerful artillery pieces just by relying on those muskets that took a month to make, so Zhang Dabao felt that he was winning today, and he could completely defeat Xiao Yao on the battlefield, and he became famous in a battle from then on, exhaling and raising his eyebrows!

"Brothers, when Chen Jun and them rush up, as soon as they enter the range of artillery, we will carry out fierce shelling on them, and there is no need to worry about the consumption of ammunition, the prince said, as long as we defeat Xiao Yao, we will make a great achievement, and everyone will be rewarded at that time!" Zhang Dabao encouraged these soldiers under him and said.

"Yes!" Hearing that there were many rewards, the soldiers of the Qi army were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"The soldiers of the musket battalion, all of them lifted my spirits, and my eyes widened! Their cavalry will dodge our artillery and charge the flanks of our artillery positions, and then you will have to take aim and knock them all to me! Zhang Dabao reminded and shouted, he still has a certain understanding of the attack method of the infantry battalion before, after all, Xiao Yao once gave them a tactical lesson, and talked about the offensive method of attacking head-on with artillery and outflanking the cavalry!

"Projectile artillery battalion, as long as the infantry of the Chen army rushes up and launches a sea of people to attack, you will desperately throw bombs at me and blow them all up to me! They must not be allowed to break through our defenses! Zhang Dabao constantly gave various orders to his artillery unit, looking like he was directing the country and was in high spirits.

Suddenly, there was a "silky" sound in the air, something was flying quickly against the wind, and when the soldiers of the Qi artillery unit were curious about what the sound was, an unlucky soldier suddenly exploded all over his body, shattered his bones, and died without a whole body! Frightened, the people around them were dumbfounded, and even forgot to call, in addition to panicking, they also seemed to see a round thing, moving quickly on their position, bouncing, everywhere they went, either severed limbs or stump legs, the scene was very terrifying!

All this happened in an instant, but at this time, they finally heard a loud sound of artillery firing from Chen Jun's position opposite, and then before everyone had time to react, the round thing that had just been launched suddenly exploded!

After a loud bang, a mushroom cloud several meters high rose on the spot, and then within a radius of five meters, a white shock wave seemed to be visible, which instantly blew the surrounding people apart, shattered their bodies, and shot extremely fast fragments in all directions, knocking down everyone who was standing farther away, and blood flowed all over the ground!

In just a few seconds, more than 10 people were killed on the spot on the position of this Qi army's artillery unit, and all of them died in an extremely tragic state, so frightened that these Qi army artillery soldiers who had only tried to shoot the enemy with artillery, but had not been bombarded by artillery, were all soulless and terrified!

"Chen Jun has fired! They threw bombs at me! Someone finally reacted and shouted immediately, and they who had been trained by Zhang Dabao could also see that this kind of thing that would explode after landing was actually the same principle as the explosive packs thrown by those projectile guns!

Zhang Dabao, who was in the artillery position, heard the explosion not far from him on his position, and was almost frightened by this loud noise and fell directly to the ground, and he was still calm, he immediately calculated in his heart, such a loud noise, the explosive bag was at least ten catties or more!

"What's going on? Why did Chen Jun suddenly throw the explosives bag over? Such a heavy explosive package can only be thrown at a distance of at least ten zhang, how did the observers observe, why didn't you see that Chen Jun had already surrounded him? Quick, get me their projectile troops, and then shoot them hard with artillery and wipe them out! Zhang Dabao immediately ordered and shouted.

"Report to General Zhang, we don't see any signs of Chen's army rushing out of their position! And we have been carefully observing the surroundings of the position, we are within a radius of dozens of zhang here, not to mention the figure of the Chen Army's projectile artillery unit, not even a living thing! Those explosive packets must have been thrown from Chen's position! A petty officer reported to Zhang Dabao.

"Thrown from Chen's position!" Zhang Dabao was instantly frightened, and said inarticulately: "How, how is it possible, they are at least three hundred zhang away from us, so far away, even people can't see clearly, how can they throw a ten-pound explosive bag over!" ”

On the artillery battalion position of the forward brigade, Li Nong said to Xiao Yao, who came to the position to supervise the battle in person, with a look of shame: "Report to the commander, we reserved too much for the woodpipe fuse of the grenade just now, and as a result, although the grenade hit the artillery position of the Qi army, the grenade did not explode immediately!" But rest assured, Commander, we won't make such mistakes again! ”

Xiao Yao, who had been holding a telescope to carefully observe the Qi army's position since before the artillery was fired, still did not put down the telescope, but was still carefully looking at the soldiers who were already a little flustered on the current Qi army's artillery position, and said with a smile: "The effect of the grenade just now is not bad, you can adjust the woodpipe fuse according to the length just now!" Because these grenades are cast from pig iron, before they explode, they are almost as powerful as those solid shells, and they can kill and injure enemies by impact, and then explode again, blowing all enemies around them to pieces! Because we want to kill as many people as possible in this battle, we will continue to have grenades as we did just now! ”

"Yes, Commander!" Li Nongli saluted and said.

Then he immediately turned around and shouted at the officers and men of the artillery battalion under him: "The commander has an order, destroy as many enemies as possible!" Four artillery pieces, according to the standard just now, aimed at the position of the Qi army, and opened fire in turn for artillery bombardment! ”
