Chapter 182: Rookie Commander

"Where is the artillery squad, Ma Daha, where are you, don't come and see me soon. "www.biquge.info Wang Xiaoming suddenly understood what he was going to do, and shouted to the squad leader of the artillery squad.

Ma Daha, the leader of the artillery squad (naturally Li Xian's name), turned out to be a fisherman from a nearby village, and his family had been engaged in whaling for generations.

This Ma Daha classmate usually has good training results and likes whaling, Li Xian simply asked his squad to manage the six whaling cannons that Chen Youfu bought, and Ma Daha himself was promoted to the leader of the artillery squad.

"Squad Leader Wang, I'm here, do you have something to do with me?" Ma Daha was actually behind Wang Xiaoming, and this opening startled Wang Xiaoming, who was in a hurry to find someone in the distance.

"You quietly, when did you hide behind me?

Well, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, you take your men over and blow up those two cannons for me. Wang Xiaoming finally understood how to fight this battle, and hurriedly said.

"Order, our artillery squad will go. Ma Daha understood that this was a military order, and Li Xian had always emphasized during the previous training that he must obey the orders of his superiors on the battlefield and not disobey orders, so Ma Daha did not have the slightest idea of refusal.

However, Ma Daha is a fine person, and just about to start, he remembered another thing.

"Squad Leader Wang, our artillery squad has more guns and fewer guns, and it will be difficult for the pirates to rush out, so you have to send us troops to protect them. ”

"Oh, yes, the company commander has always said that artillery squads must not act alone, they must be protected by infantry. Wang Xiaoming patted his head, vaguely remembering that Li Xian had talked about this kind of thing.

"It's useless for you to stay here even from the gun squad, follow the artillery squad forward, cut off the enemy's artillery, and Lao Tzu is here to cover you. ”

With a wave of his hand, Wang Xiaoming signaled the repeating gun squad equipped with air guns and revolvers to attack together to protect the artillery squad.

Li Xian learned a lesson from yesterday's battle and assigned smoothbore guns to the pistols who were originally only equipped with revolvers, making the repeater squad a powerful combat force with good attack power from both near and far.

"Ordered. "The squad leader of the Lian Gun Squad is surnamed Zhao, he is capable of doing things, and he doesn't talk nonsense, so he gave a military salute to Wang Xiaoming and led people forward.

The people of the two classes stepped forward together, Wang Xiaoming was going to lead people to continue to suppress the pirates in the same place, but suddenly his heart became weak again, he looked at Chen Guangsheng next to him and said: "Instructor Chen, they don't know what will happen in the past, why don't you go over and take care of it?"

"Order!" Wang Xiaoming said in a consultative tone, but Chen Guangsheng knew that this was an order on the battlefield, so he immediately gave a military salute according to his usual training, and then hurriedly ran over.

Wang Xiaoming has always been in awe of Zhao Hujiang and other people in the teaching class, but he didn't expect Chen Guangsheng to listen to himself so easily, and he would attack according to his own orders, but he was a little surprised, and he tasted the beauty of power for the first time.

"Would I like to go over and have a look?" asked General Zhao Hu.

"Oh, you're still staying by my side, and if you have any problems, you can take care of them. General Zhao Hu has always been regarded as the first person below Li Xian, Wang Xiaoming didn't dare to treat the other party as a small soldier commander, and hurriedly said.

"Order!" General Zhao Hu has always paid attention to the rules of the army, and after hearing this, he hurriedly raised his hand to his forehead and gave a military salute.

Then, a rare spectacle appeared on the battlefield.

Wang Xiaoming led two squads of people here to shoot at the pirates on the stone wall with muskets, and Ma Daha and the others pushed the small wooden cart with whaling cannons to slowly push it towards the place where the pirates' artillery was, which was a typical tactic of musket cover and artillery advance.

In military history, it has always been the combat method of infantry advance and artillery cover, but Li Xian's side is just the opposite, but no one thought how inappropriate this scene would be at this time.

The artillery squad advanced to less than fifty meters from the artillery, but the pirates were extremely slow to react, neither the pirates rushed out to stop the whalers from approaching, and even the long-range fire from the stone wall was extremely scarce.

Of course, all the pirates who attacked downwards were miserable, either sniped by Wang Xiaoming's rifled guns, or shot down by the close-quarters repeating pistol team with air rifles and smoothbore guns, in short, they could not form an effective threat to the artillery squad.

Li Xian's requirements for artillery were to fire whaling cannons from ships moving forward at full strength, and to hit whales swimming with all their might, that is, to hit moving targets at full speed, and to maintain extremely high accuracy.

For Madahar's artillerymen, hitting two stationary guns at such a close distance was like play, the only thing that was a little difficult was that both guns were placed on a high stone wall, and the whaling guns needed to be raised slightly, but it was not a difficult task.

At the sound of Madahar's order, four whaling cannons were launched at the same time, throwing the whaling fork out, drawing a parabola and falling to the stone wall, relying on the huge inertia to shoot directly into the crack in the stone, and then the gunpowder bag tied to the whaling fork exploded, knocking the pirates around the two guns who tried to control the artillery.

And that wasn't the end of it, the artillery squad then desperately loaded the gunpowder and fired the whaling fork again, which exploded just in time to detonate the gunpowder around the two guns, causing the stone wall to explode violently.

Ma Dahar was a meticulous man, and he was not at ease, so he ordered another round of whaling cannons to be fired to empty the pirates around the artillery.

At this moment, the pirates on the stone wall were crying wolf, and they didn't want to get close to the artillery.

Of course, these two guns had been somewhat deformed in the earlier explosion, and even the gunpowder was gone, and even if they wanted to, they could not use it anymore.

"Well done!" Chen Guangsheng couldn't help clapping his hands next to him.

"What should I do next, go back or stay here?" asked Martha, a little wryly.

This is also his first time attacking, Wang Xiaoming's order is completed, but should he turn around and go back now, or stay here and wait for further orders, Ma Daha is also confused now.

"This..."Chen Guangsheng also groaned for a while, thinking that I haven't thought about your question yet, but I'm just going back, as if I'm a little unwilling.

Seeing the gate of Zhu Jiuzhaizi, Chen Guangsheng immediately had an idea.

"Squad Leader Ma, I saw that Zhu Jiu's two gates are not there, they are all wooden, and they still look very shabby, and they will not be very strong.

Can you blow this one up with your whaling cannon?"

"No problem, isn't it just two thin skin wooden doors, wrapped around me. Ma Daha patted his chest and immediately agreed.
