Zuo Shaoqing hated Li Xian so much that he took a pair of bows out of nowhere and shot arrows down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zuo Shaoqing's strength and physique are far beyond ordinary people, and his archery ability is very good, but unfortunately the bow in his hand is not powerful, it is just a self-made earthen bow made by the bandits, and it is not even a high-quality bow, so he cannot give full play to Zuo Shaoqing's advantages.

With this bow, Zuo Shaoqing can maintain a hit rate of more than fifty percent at a distance of 100 meters to 150 meters, while the others, whether they are holding a bow or a firearm, have no effective range of more than 80 meters.

Li Xian led the people to advance to about 200 meters, then stopped advancing, organized rifled riflemen to carry out suppressive point fire, and himself also took the rifle to aim at Zuo Shaoqing, and immediately beat Zhu Jiu's men so that they couldn't raise their heads, and they didn't dare to stand on the stone wall unscrupulously.

The disadvantages of bows and arrows over rifles are immediately apparent, if you are a musketeer, you can find a hidden place to load your bullets and shoot downwards even if you are a front-loading gun, but it is even more difficult for an archer to protect himself while shooting.

The two sides confronted each other under the wall for more than ten minutes, and although Li Xian's side relied on rifles to gain the upper hand, he could not quickly advance over considering the casualties.

"Company commander, let me go up. I'll take a squad of people and rush up with a ladder to occupy the stone wall, and you can lead people to press it up in the back.

It's really boring to shoot each other like this now. Wang Xiaoming watched a burst of fire and took the initiative to ask for battle.

Li Xian thought for a moment and shook his head.

"It's not impossible to fight hard, but I have a better idea. We are now facing the side wall of Zhu Jiuzhaizi, and the long-range firepower of Zhu Jiu's subordinates has come to this side to stop us, but the gate is empty.

You take four squads, and three hundred fishermen, plus whale guns, and go around the gate to attack.

I don't know what Zhu Jiu's command level is, if he makes a little mistake, we can pay fewer casualties and occupy this stockade. ”

It turned out that there were a lot of stones on Jinzhou Island, and the village built by Zhu Jiu was surrounded by a circle of boulders, and after Zhu Jiu found some stones to pile up, he added a sturdy and durable stone wall to himself.

This stone wall is quite long, Li Xian and the others are now attacking the side wall of the stockade, and the gate is still four or five hundred meters away from this side.

Li Xian had a very low evaluation of the military command level in the feudal era, and felt that if he dragged the opponent's main force here and sent another army to attack the gate, Zhu Jiu would not be able to react, and he really looked down on Zhu Jiu.

Li Xian's military system was sound, and Wang Xiaoming soon took four squads of troops, and called about 300 fishermen and hunters to go around the gate from afar.

The four squads of the convoy were also sufficient, the military system was sound, and they acted quickly, and soon obeyed orders, and let the fishermen who had barely trained pass in half, but it took more than thirty minutes to complete.

Li Xian couldn't help sighing, and said that Zhu Jiu's command ability was insufficient, and his own side actually had the same problem.

If it weren't for the fact that these fishermen were all whalers, and a dozen people often went to sea in a boat, it would have been somewhat organized, otherwise this time would have taken more time.

This side was busy mobilizing troops in a mess, and Zhu Jiu didn't react after watching it for a long time, until Wang Xiaoming brought all the people and moved to the gate, and then he understood that the enemy was going to divide his troops into two places to attack.

And just as Li Xian predicted, Zhu Jiu encountered this situation and suddenly fell into a hesitant situation.

If you send someone to support the gate, it will undoubtedly weaken the defense on this side of the side wall, and it will allow Li Xian's people to take the opportunity to break in, but if you don't support, it doesn't seem to be very good.

The most embarrassing thing is that Zhu Jiu's team is just a group of pirates, in the past, they would swarm up when there was a benefit, and they would run away when they were in difficulty, and they didn't know what this division of troops should do and in what way.

During the Opium War, it was the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who met the British army, and the British army left a team to contain the main force of the Qing army, and then sent a small force to attack the flank of the Qing army.

Zhu Jiu was deep in thought here, and Wang Xiaoming had already run to the Zhaimen with a bunch of people.

Looking at the gate of Zhu Jiuzhaizi, Wang Xiaoming suddenly felt empty, this person is here, what should I do next, the whole army rushed to the gate together, climbed the wall to attack the enemy, or used the musket troops to avoid it step by step, both of these methods of play seem to have problems.

Wang Xiaoming looked at Li Xian and found that Li Xian was still leading the rifled gunners to suppress the long-range shooters on the stone wall, and suddenly figured it out, and didn't know how to do it, so let's learn from others first.

"First class, work with me to suppress the pirates on the stone wall!" Wang Xiaoming shouted, and took the lead in shooting with a gun, shooting down one of the pirates who were probing their heads and looking down at the stone wall.

The group he led was all equipped with rifled guns, most of them were from Orion, and they had the best shooting skills, and they also followed the same example, shooting pirates on the stone wall.

It's just that rifled guns have a long range, and they can still shoot at targets from a distance of nearly two hundred meters, and other squads are embarrassed, whether it is a smoothbore gun or a repeating gun, the effective range cannot reach that far.

Zhao Hujiang and Chen Guangsheng, who were assigned by Li Xian to assist Wang Xiaoming, looked at it for a while, and saw that something was wrong, there were more than 300 people coming over, only one squad of people shot and shot, and everyone else was watching the excitement from the side, which was too unusual.

"Squad leader Wang, only let the rifled gunner shoot, and everyone else has nothing to do, which is not good.

Why don't you send some people over and shoot closer?" Zhao Hu will belong to the teaching class, theoretically the leader of the instructors, although he does not have direct command, but his identity is detached, and many times the squad leaders have to listen to him.

"Hmm, pirates still have firearms and artillery, so I'm afraid the casualties can't be controlled, right?" Wang Xiaoming led the troops for the first time, but he was a little timid, and all he thought about was what Li Xian said before he left to control the casualties.

"How can there be immortals in a war, just send someone over to defeat it, don't we also have artillery?

Get close to fire the cannons, and at least knock them out. Chen Guangsheng, that is, the original Chen Xiaoer, was also eager to try.

"By the way, they still have cannons. Wang Xiaoming lost his mind for a while.

Zhu Jiu's two cannons were arranged on the side of the gate, but at the beginning of his arrival, Li Xian led the rifled gunners to suppress the artillery, so that many artillerymen who operated the cannons were killed, so that the pirates were far away from the artillery, and there was no reaction to use the artillery at this time.

However, no matter how bad the artillery is, it is also artillery, and when he thought that the pirates' artillery shells falling into the crowd would cause uncontrollable casualties, Wang Xiaoming suddenly became anxious.
