The two sides soon started another round of firing. Most of the Dutch buckshot hit the breastwork. There was a "poof, poof" sound, stirring up streams of sand. Only a few rounds worked, hitting three marines.

And the Dutch are different! They had no breastwork to cover, so they could only stand in the open space uncovered, completely exposed to each other's guns. The successive deaths of their companions have put a lot of pressure on them. This time, more than 20 people fell on their side, and their courage was almost exhausted.

The Dutch commander has noticed that something is wrong! He knew that no matter how much courage his men felt, if this kind of shooting situation continued, it would collapse sooner or later! He estimated in his heart that at most two rounds of shooting, his side would have to completely collapse!

So the Dutch commander can only make the last choice, which is to use hand-to-hand combat to redeem the defeat! So he shouted the order, and after firing this salvo, he discarded the smoothbore gun and rushed forward to fight hand-to-hand with his sword!

At that time, there were no bayonets in the West, so soldiers, especially musketeers, always had to carry extra weapons when they went out to fight. Usually they carried smoothbore guns, short guns, swords, daggers and ammunition packs. Among them, smoothbore guns and war swords are the main weapons. Soldiers with heavy muskets also carry an additional wooden fork. This wooden fork was used by soldiers to support their smoothbore guns when shooting. It can be seen that they were carrying a lot of weight at that time.

So at that time, the European soldiers' way of fighting was to close in on the opponent and fire the smoothbore gun, then discard the smoothbore gun and fight with the sword. After all, the fire gun was not mature at that time. It was only after the advent of the bayonet that the firebolt became the weapon that dominated the battlefield. This can be confirmed in the battlefield situation described by Viscount Brajalola to his father in "The Three Musketeers".

But just as they were loading their shotguns, they found that their opponents were swarming out from behind the breastwork! The Dutch commander couldn't help but curse secretly: "It's been preempted by the opponent again!" ”

The breastwork was left with access and exit, and the Marines swarmed out of it. Unlike the Dutch, the Dutch wanted to fight hand-to-hand combat because they were forced to try to redeem themselves

A desperate move by Endgame.

And the Marines rushed out because they really didn't want to shoot at him and them. That's too slow to kill! It's better to come hard! So when the commander gave the order, the Marines who were holding back their strength rushed out of the gap in the breastwork like a flood from the gate!

The Dutch commander was relieved to see his opponent rushing out, and he was very happy! I was relieved because I didn't have to shoot another round. Rejoice because you can finally fight in a different way!

In terms of firearms, the Dutch commander has completely given up! So he had great hopes for hand-to-hand combat! So he immediately raised his sword and shouted: "Throw away the smoothbore gun!" Draw your sword! Draw your sword! ”

The Dutch soldiers interrupted their reloading, threw away their muskets as if relieved, drew their swords at their waists, and roared to meet them.

The Marines wore blue shirts, while the Dutch soldiers wore dark red clothing. So these two waves of people collided like sea water and magma! This collision has collided with countless blood flowers!

In the blink of an eye, the roars of both sides were replaced by the clashing of steel and the screams of death! The dark red figure and the blue figure are intertwined, like two strands of oil paint being squeezed onto the palette at the same time. But unfortunately, they are not blending with each other, but desperately trying to devour each other and tear each other apart!

These Dutch soldiers are good at wielding swords! The sharp tip of the sword can easily pierce the opponent's body! At the same time, the one-handed sword is very flexible and suitable for parrying. It's even better for switching from blocking to countering!

And the Marines can hold their guns in both hands, and it is easy to exert force! At the same time, the fire gun and the bayonet are one section longer than the sword, like a short spear! And with both hands, the fire is unstoppable!

Just over 30 seconds into hand-to-hand combat, the Dutch commander was truly desperate! Hand-to-hand combat is not like firearms shooting, in hand-to-hand combat, whether you live or die, it is three or two blows. So Liu Pei's side quickly gained the upper hand.

First of all, these Dutch people have never seen them before

The firearm is equipped with a bayonet. So they behaved a little uncomfortable, but they were acceptable. Because in Europe there are now also many soldiers who use spears and halberds. Therefore, it is also possible to use the bayonet as a spear.

Secondly, after several rounds of fire, the Dutch soldiers outnumbered the marines. This is not evident in the shooting, but in hand-to-hand combat, the numerical superiority is visible.

The last point, and the most terrifying point. Since ancient times, the Chinese army has paid attention to formation. In other words, it's about the strength of the team. And what about Westerners at this time? Except for the crooked queue when queuing to shoot, there is no formation at all when fighting in other battles.

When they were in hand-to-hand combat, they swarmed up. I didn't care about the queue or the flanks, so I pounced on it with a knife anyway! This style of combat may be able to hold up at the beginning of hand-to-hand combat, but once the opponent overcomes the first wave, it will be waiting for death!

The Marines were highly trained, and they had tried their skills with pirates, and it was the time when morale was high and their skills were proficient. The three of them formed a group, nine people in a large group, and formed a dense battle formation! Anyone who falls into a cluster of bayonets will be stabbed down in three or two strokes!

The Dutch commander was tempted to command his men to line up in tight formation, but he had never practiced in formation, so how could he do that in a hurry? What's more, he and his guards were being pressed tightly by a team of three, and three bayonets were circling around their bodies from left to right, up and down! If you are not careful, you will be stabbed into a transparent hole, where will you have time to command the battle? This is why the Dutch commanders have been in battle for a long time and reacted quickly. Another person has already been stabbed down at this time!

The whole hand-to-hand combat lasted only two minutes, and the Dutch soldiers couldn't hold it anymore!

In the midst of the crowd, a Dutch soldier is trying to block his opponent with fear. But the people around him were stabbed down by their opponents! What's even more terrifying is that his comrade-in-arms was stabbed in the abdomen! When the Marine raised his bayonet and opened his abdomen, the man's intestines flowed out!
