Chapter 127: Straight to the Thief's Den
Everyone went, and the black tiger, the black panther, the dog and a few others did not leave Huang Sheng, and they distanced themselves to guard the surroundings. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
About half an hour later, Huang Dongshan inquired about the situation clearly and reported it.
"My lord, Liu Guozheng often helps pirates carry supplies in and out of that cave, and he already knows the situation inside after asking others again."
"Excellent! Are there any other exits to the cave? How many pirates are there inside? ”
"The cave is not deep, about sixty or seventy steps, no one has heard of other exits, the thirty steps into the cave are narrower and can only be done by two people, and the inside is relatively spacious and is the pirate's storehouse......." Huang Dongshan explained the geomorphology of the cave one by one.
"How many pirates are hiding in there, and are there any artillery? Is there a lot of gunpowder in it? ”
"The pirate leader is called Yuji Aoi, he is hiding inside with up to twelve pirates, there is no artillery, there is no gunpowder, the pirates are afraid that the fire will destroy the food and belongings inside, the powder barrels are stored in a room outside, and they have been captured, not much, only about 800 catties."
"How to attack, you must have another plan, right?"
"My lord, I am going to smoke it, there is not much space in the cave, and it is estimated that it will not be long before those hiding pirates will be unbearable."
"I'm afraid not! The enemy has quilts and other items, there is a leaky water source inside, and the entrance road is narrow, so it should be easier to block the flue! ”
"That's true, my lord, if the attack is planned properly, the casualties will not be too large, and the soldiers will volunteer!"
"Dongshan! Soldiers are not afraid of casualties because they have a fearless spirit, and we, as the main generals, should love them and never sacrifice lightly until absolutely necessary! ”
"My lord, you have been taught, what do you think about a pre-war meeting right away!"
"Yes, that's exactly how brainstorming should be."
Huang Sheng was very happy, this intellectual young man who had been a slave for four years had grown up, and he would definitely be able to become a master in the future.
The meeting compartment of the 'Quang Ninh' was full of people, and the junior flag officers and senior officers were all talking about it.
Li Guixiang, a medical woman, had already taken the medical staff to treat the wounded, not the officers and soldiers of the Huang family who had suffered casualties, but many of the slaves of the Japanese in the melee had been killed and wounded.
Secretary Hexiang and the four female gentlemen did not go to the treatment, Bai Peony and Bai Hibiscus were taking meeting minutes, and Huan'er and Le'er were pouring tea and handing water.
All the officers were using their brains to come up with ideas, and sure enough, there were many ghost ideas that were wonderful, and finally Huang Sheng adopted some methods and supplemented and perfected the details.
When Lord Huang Sheng summed up everyone's whimsical ideas into a complete plan and made it public, all the officers were happy, everyone was happy and prepared separately, and after lunch, they began to hunt mice.
Huang Mingdao has been staying on the warship, and this time he didn't have the opportunity to shoot at all, and he was a little aggrieved.
complained to Huang Sheng: "My lord, the battle is almost over, and there hasn't been a single time when you haven't fired an arrow, you come to the town as a commander in the afternoon, and take people to attack the cave, okay?" ”
"No, the battle in the afternoon is not important, our army's warships are the lifeblood, I won't attack, it's just to see the excitement, only a dozen frightened rats, we have won, there is no challenge."
"Yes, obedience!"
"Lotus incense, white peony, white hibiscus, you have a task." Huang Sheng looked at a few busy beauties and said happily.
"Childe, it's not right, it's not right, it's not right, report to the lord, be ready at all times, please give an order!"
Hexiang has never received a combat mission, and she was excited and incoherent for a while.
"There are now twenty or thirty women on the island, you are responsible for screening and finding out the pirate mother-in-law, if you are forced to be helpless, it is forgivable, if you have done evil things for the tiger, you will kill them with a knife."
"Ahh My lord, I don't dare to kill anyone! Hexiang's pretty face immediately turned white with fright, thinking that Childe had asked her to kill someone.
"Silly girl, when did I let you do it yourself?" Huang Sheng looked at this honest girl and laughed.
"I understand the lowly position, and I must complete the task to the letter!"
Bai Peony was looking at it without blinking, Huang Sheng suddenly wanted to tease her, and asked her: "Mr. White Peony, Secretary Hexiang doesn't dare to kill, do you dare?" ”
Bai Peony was stunned for a long time, and then said loudly: "Those bad guys who work for the tiger are innocent, and they dare to kill them!" ”
"Huh?" Huang Sheng looked at the big woman with a serious face and was happy again, and said, "White Peony, unity, tension, seriousness and liveliness, do you understand?" Now there are no outsiders, I don't know if the master is joking? ”
"Master, the slave still thinks you really want the slave to kill someone!" The beauty blushed and was embarrassed.
After lunch, three groups of heavy infantry with iron shields stood in front of the cave.
Quan Yong was holding a ten-step long bamboo, and the head of the bamboo was carrying a small bomb made of seven catties of gunpowder, and the same were true for two strong men.
This kind of small bomb produced by the Huang family is similar to the Ming army's Megatron Thunder, due to the reasonable use of granular gunpowder, it is more powerful than the Megatron Thunder produced by the Ming Dynasty.
Detonated by flintlock shots, the effective killing radius is six steps, there may be lead in the narrow cave, and the iron balls fly to more than a dozen steps, and the power may be able to break the steel armor.
The Japanese in the cave have arquebuses to use, and there is more than one, and the buckshot shot can completely break through the steel armor at about 30 paces.
The steel shield prepared by the Huang family was to deal with hot weapons, which came in handy at this time.
The attack plan was that the two heavy infantry would use steel shields to protect themselves, cover Quan Yong's entry into the hole, and use bamboo to pick up seven pounds of small bombs ten steps away from the heavy infantry.
Because the bomb was detonated by sparks generated by flint rubbing iron, and the distance from the cave was not accurate, and it was very likely that it would not explode, so a foolproof stupid method was used.
With Master Huang Sheng's marksmanship, he followed behind and detonated the bomb with one shot, and when the dust of the explosion did not settle, the heavy infantry rushed forward twenty steps to eliminate the pirates who were lucky not to die.
At this time, the cave should be filled with gunsmoke, and our army is equipped with face armor, goggles, and masks, which are not only psychologically prepared but also materially prepared, and the impact is minimal.
And within ten steps of the bomb, the result of the enemy will not be very good, they should be blown up, deaf, and their eyes are foggy, and nine times out of ten those who are not killed by the bomb should also be injured.
It only takes two such attacks to suffice, and the heavily armed and shielded infantry rushes out of the bottleneck and stabilizes, and a steady stream of archers and musketeers will follow behind, and everyone should beat the few pirates to death.
Everything was ready, the attack began immediately, and there was a small accident.
More than a dozen outstanding musketeers led by Huang Dongshan and Gu Shanhe all came to kneel down in front of the adults who were ready to go, asking the head of the family to give them the credit.
Huang Sheng knew that they were robbing the credit or not, and it was true that he refused to risk himself to enter the hole and shoot.
Although the situation in the cave had been carefully investigated, all the warriors did not want the adults to enter the danger zone in person, and they all asked Huang Dongshan, who could replace the adults, and the musketeers to stop the beloved family master.
Huang Sheng thought about it, the line of sight inside was not very good, and it didn't matter if he couldn't shoot the big bomb, and then he would come again.
He handed over this not too difficult task to Gu Shanhe and gave a few words of encouragement.
The eldest child was immediately happy to see his teeth and eyes, and went away happily.
Zhou Qiang and Chen Jinggong are now the commanders of the heavy infantry, and they and Quan Yong used to be old partners in the first army, and the three of them cooperated quite tacitly, and today they cooperated again to take the lead.
Gu Shanhe has the potential to be a sniper, and in the black cave, he can only faintly see the outline of a bomb the size of a grapefruit ten steps away.
He took aim easily, calmly pulled the trigger, and sure enough, he hit the bomb with one shot, and suddenly made an earth-shattering loud noise, but fortunately, the soldiers in front were already prepared, and stuffed things in their ears.
