In the military, commanders who adopt this approach are branded cowardly and incompetent, and are often never reused.

Wall cursed the enemy's commander for a long time at this time, but he was a little relieved in his heart, if this could fool the day, it would be a good thing.

The commander of the 1,500 soldiers who fought on the Huaxia Army's side was called Ma Jinbao, who was originally an ordinary villager in Nicheng Village in Sanyuanli, and was only recruited into the team by Li Xian during the first battle in Sanyuanli, compared to Wang Xiaoming and Chen Guangsheng and other officers from the Leizhou Escort Team, they were much worse in terms of qualifications.

Fortunately, Ma Jinbao studied for a few years when he was a child, although he didn't read anything famous, but he was also considered to be enlightened, could write, read, and calculate, and was also knowledgeable in the army.

After joining Li Xian's subordinates, because of his literacy, he was much faster than others in learning weapon usage and military regulations, and soon stood out, and then made a lot of contributions in the battle, and finally became the head of a regiment, and he was also a high-ranking official in the top five in the Sanyuanli faction under Li Xian.

At this time, seeing that Wall's foreign gun team stopped and did not leave, Ma Jinbao couldn't help but sneer, if it is an ordinary European army tactic, this method may still be a little useful, but it is not very effective in China.

When Li Xian commented on the military differences between China and Europe in the military aspects, Li Xian said that the biggest difference between the two sides is that "the European army will regain victory and defeat, and the Chinese army will be reborn and born." The focus is completely different.

According to Li Xian's consistent practice, the Huaxia Army also learned the European army's platoon and formation combat methods, but in practical application it was completely different, and it looked similar, but the actual combat was completely different, and it was very confusing and deceptive to people who had not been exposed to the Huaxia Army's combat methods.

At this time, Ma Jinbao issued a series of orders, and most of the infantry stayed still, guarding the rocket artillery battery, and only three hundred infantry continued to advance.

Wall watched the rebels only send three hundred soldiers forward, and couldn't help but be stunned, what kind of tactics is this, is it sent out to die.

It's just that Wall is also very experienced in combat, and he doesn't move, thinking that if these 300 soldiers see that they are good, they will just accept them, and if they really want to attack their own formation, they will try to lose some troops, and they will also eat all these 300 people.

However, the rebel army's 300 men had advanced about 300 meters and then stopped, and some of them had been assigned to level the land and place the long metal pipes, but it was time to build the improvised forts again.

After reading it, Wall couldn't help but scold, this is another act of stirring up the situation, in the serious European battlefield, if an officer dares to use this method, even if he wins, he will become a laughing stock, and there will be no future, that is, the East has repeatedly made this kind of trouble-stirring behavior.

Wall immediately ordered his own artillery to fire to prevent these unruly rebels from building batteries, but unfortunately, the distance between the foreign guns and the rebels' advance batteries was 1,700 meters, just between the effective range and the maximum range, and the guns of the foreign guns were only four, the number was too small, and there was no effect.

Wall suddenly understood, the other party is clearly bullying the foreign gun team with less artillery, if Wall has enough artillery and artillery, at this time he can divide a part of the artillery, and also step forward to build a similar battery, but at this time he can only just watch.

As for sending the infantry forward, Wall thought about it and vetoed it, so that the foreign guns would have to advance more than a thousand meters within the effective range of the enemy's artillery, and there were too many variables, and in that case, they would fall into the enemy's trap.

The commander of the rebel army put on this position, I am afraid that he is forcing himself to advance with artillery, or he can't withstand the pressure and retreats directly.

In desperation, Wall gave a very stupid order and a very wise order: "Pass the order, the artillery unit shall divide two guns and move forward five hundred meters to form a battery, and in addition, order all infantry platoons to loosen up in formation to defend against enemy artillery fire." ”

Immediately, there were heralds who passed down the orders layer by layer, so that the troops acted according to the orders.

The infantry used to be in a relatively dense formation, and the soldiers and soldiers were almost shoulder to shoulder, so that the advantage of firepower could be better played, but now after the order is given, the soldiers immediately begin to move, so that the distance between each soldier is about two meters.

This is an excellent formation for artillery fire, and even if a shell falls, it will kill one or two soldiers at most, and it can cause far fewer casualties than in a dense formation.

Li Xian has been observing the battle in front from a distance in the rear, and nodded silently after seeing the foreign gun team change formation, it seems that the training of this foreign gun team is still possible, and it can change the formation during the battle, at least the previous Qing army did not have this ability.

Then, as Wall had expected, the rebels' front-line long-barreled artillery base completed the construction of the battery in less than ten minutes, and then began firing.

The first shell flew into the sky with a long tail, then fell into the camp of the foreign guns and exploded, causing casualties among three or four soldiers at once, and if the formation was not loose enough, the casualties would have been even more.

Then, then the second, third, and fourth shots, and it was endless.

"Oh hell, it's not your average solid shell, it's a flowering shell, no, it should be a rocket artillery shell. After all, Wall is old in war, and he immediately saw the heel of this kind of cannonball, and then a cold sweat came out.

If it is a general solid shell, it has a strong ability to damage buildings, but it has a weak effect on a single infantry, and it can still be carried by relying on a loose formation, and if it is a rocket shell that can explode in all directions, it is another matter.

"Get down, everybody get down. Wall suddenly understood, jumped up and yelled, motioning for all the soldiers to crawl to the ground.

After the foreign guns were hit by a sudden shell, many people had the feeling of being blindfolded, but after hearing the order, they woke up like a dream and hurriedly fell to the ground.

The training of the foreign rifle team originated from the training regulations of the European armies, and the training of lying down to avoid the artillery was also done, and after everyone was lying down, the threat of rocket artillery immediately dropped a lot.

However, the muskets used by the foreign rifle team are typical front-loading smoothbore guns, and even the rifles are mostly front-loaded, and they can be reloaded when they are standing, but once they lie on the ground, they cannot be loaded with bullets and gunpowder after shooting.

Of course, the nearest enemy is still seven or eight hundred meters away, and the effective range of the smoothbore gun is about 100 meters, and the hit rate drops sharply after the distance of 200 meters.

It's just that the infantry can also lie down to avoid the rocket artillery, but the artillery in the rear cannot, and when everyone is lying down, it becomes an obvious target and becomes the focus of the rocket artillery.

At present, the distance between the rocket artillery base and the foreign gun battery is between 1,200 meters and 1,300 meters, just at the edge of the effective firing range, and it can be harassed at most, and the actual damage is very limited.
