Chapter 33: There was a battle on the first day
Luo Yi also didn't expect that as soon as he arrived here, he would encounter a battle on the first day of duty, and the surrounding atmosphere began to become weird, and neither side had the intention of making the first move, and the patrolling navy also began to consciously occupy some favorable terrain to facilitate the shooting of platoon guns for a while.
And the strange strangers began to move closer together, their positions also approaching the naval patrols, and now the two sides were like powder kegs, exploding at a single point, but both sides were more restrained. The navy needs a relatively safe position, after all, there are a lot of new recruits joining today, and they have no advantage in a while to start a war, the only thing that needs to be done is to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
And the pirates want to get close to the navy, their clothes are a little bulging, there should be some weapons in them, but there are no long-barreled muskets, at most they are short-barreled, and the rest should be mostly cold weapons, so they want to get close to them.
In this strange atmosphere, the four teams of naval officers and men were scattered, they could not be concentrated, the corporal was a little anxious, the musket team is always as numerous as possible, "Everyone keep in formation, don't panic, wait for my orders to act." "He has to let the recruits follow the team, and he must not get out of formation because of panic, this is the most dangerous, and it will affect the whole team.
Luo Yi was a little eager to try, but unfortunately he only had a musket in his hand, and his eyes swept towards the pirates, hoping that one of them would carry the long knife he needed. Pants, there seem to be long knives in the trouser legs of the pirates, and the posture of several pirates walking is unusually weird, and the legs don't seem to bend, so it's probably a knife, or maybe a stick or something.
The two sides were in a stalemate for more than ten minutes, and at this time, a ship on the sea in the distance was rapidly moving towards the cargo terminal, Luo Yi inadvertently glanced at it, his eyesight was good, and when he saw this ship, judging from the speed, it was not a cargo ship.
"Sir, there's a ship coming this way, it's not slow, it's probably a pirate ship, it's impossible for these pirates to be without a ship." Luo Yi whispered, and the corporal hurriedly turned his head to look over.
"Damn, it should be, they need to rob the warehouse, rob a lot of supplies as quickly as possible, and now they don't do it yet, they are waiting for their pirate ship to come to pick them up, we can't wait, listen to my orders." The corporal made a decisive decision to strike, and now it is not in their favor to wait any longer.
The corporal suddenly shouted, the ten-man squad was originally advancing in columns, but now with the password suddenly stopped, the ten people moved quickly with the middle two people as the center, and then changed into a horizontal team. The ten people who "raised their guns" raised their guns at the same time and aimed them at the followers behind them, while the thumb of their right hand pressed on the hammer and pulled it back, and the bullet was loaded.
So far, the recruits have done a good job, with no obvious mistakes, and the shouting here is a reminder to the rest of the group, all three patrols. And the pirates were startled at first, and then they threw off their coats one after another, "they did it, kill ......" The pirates in front of them and around took out their weapons and rushed over, they were relatively scattered, and the situation was not good for the navy.
The "shooting" corporal knew that he couldn't wait, he had to fire, and then he still had to change the formation, "bang" ten muskets fired at the same time, and several pirates on the opposite side fell in an instant, but only Luo Yi hit the target among the recruits.
"Change the team, round defense" the corporal shouted again, ten people directly centered on him, the nine soldiers did not form a circle, after saying "free fire", he stood in the middle and began to shoot at the nearest pirate, while the other nine were all half-crouched, and the muskets rang out.
The casualties of the pirates began to increase, and some pirates took out short-barreled muskets, ready to fight back, but the corporal and veterans would shoot at them as soon as possible, and Luo Yi was the same, they didn't have many bullets, ten bullets per musket, but there were not many pirates on the other side, and there were only about thirty people around them, and now there were less than ten people, and they were turning around in fear and preparing to escape, and their team was safe.
However, the recruits in the other three teams did not perform well, and in the panic, there was a mistake, and the formation was scattered and was close to the pirates, and the corporal squad leader and the veterans picked up their muskets and began hand-to-hand combat.
"Support the other squads, quick." Luo Yi's team hurriedly approached the past, but the other party was already entangled with the naval soldiers, they couldn't shoot, they could only join the melee, Luo Yi's eyes swept over the pirate he had just killed, and he finally found a long knife.
Ran over and picked it up directly, an ordinary long knife, Luo Yi was not disappointed, after all, it was just an ordinary pirate, it was difficult for them to have any good knives, but it was enough, Luo Yi put down the musket and rushed over with the knife.
The first time he used a knife to fight a real battle, Luo Yi was still a little excited, the corners of his mouth turned up, his speed was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the back of the pirates, and took out the knife "Dragon Nest Flash. bite".
This style uses a normal knife, which is faster and more ruthless, and if the opponent has only one person, the opponent can be directly chopped. However, Luo Yi used a group attack, his figure flashed, and the pirates fell to the ground one after another, and the small group of naval soldiers he saved didn't see what was going on. However, Luo Yi did not stop, but rushed directly to the other team, their trouble was not these pirates on the shore, but the pirate ship, and I don't know if the gunfire here was heard.
"No wonder he wants to go to the Sabre team, it's very powerful swordsmanship, there shouldn't be any problems with him today." The corporal muttered, and then led the team into battle.
Because of Luo Yi's existence, the pirates were easily cleaned up, but at the beginning, because of the mistakes of several recruits, they directly engaged in short-handed combat, and there were casualties among the naval soldiers, and now only thirty-two of them are still fighting power, and the other party's pirate ship is not far away.
"Squad up, check the ammunition." A squad leader turned out to be a sergeant, but it's normal to think about it, every time the four teams patrol, they must need a higher rank, otherwise there will be chaos if there is no unified command when things happen.
Luo Yi took back his musket, he knew that his rate of fire was relatively fast in the battle just now, he fired six shots, and four bullets, but he did hit six pirates, which is one of the reasons why their team was safe and sound.
"Okay, each of them looks for cover, uses squads as a unit to prevent the other side from shelling, and the veterans pay attention to the situation of the recruits, and each hides until the other side lands and then starts the attack." The sergeant ordered, and he had the wounded soldiers carried away.
