Purely cold-weapon combat is more like competitive sports. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter crossing the minimum projection distance of the catapult, the pirates stopped flinching and rushed towards them in a big swarm, with a bit of an indomitable momentum. The archers standing on the sandbox hurriedly began to shoot, but the rain of arrows seemed to the pirates as if they were non-existent, and they did not even arrange for bows and arrows to shoot, leaving behind some of their comrades who were shot, and the rest of the pirates moved on.

The guards stood in a neat row at a distance of about 5 meters behind the sandbox. The sandbox itself is only about 1 meter high, which cannot act as a barrier, and can only be regarded as some obstacles that can disrupt the enemy's offensive formation. However, if a pirate occupies a sandbox and jumps from above, it will still add some trouble to the horizontal queue. So the guards stood 5 meters away, both to disrupt the pirate formation and to take care of the archers standing on it.

The pirates who came running were indeed separated by the sandboxes, rushed out of the gap between the sandboxes, and met the spears of the guards head-on, and after dropping a few corpses, they found themselves facing a deadly weapon that could not be ignored, a 40-centimeter-long spear head and a gun body with a total length of 3 meters, which made the pirate's attack pause. However, pirates who are adept at engaging in broadside battles on the seas are not afraid of swords and guns, and their pause does not mean retreat, but only a change in tactics. Noting that the pikemen had been insisting on a neat line, some of the pirates began to climb the sandboxes, driving away the archers at what kept firing; Others stayed out of range of their spears, unleashing their bows from behind them and firing arrows at the pikemen's face-to-face. This not only made the guards begin to show losses, but also made the soldiers a little overwhelmed. Especially after seeing that they could not shoot through the armor when they shot at close range, the pirate carefully aimed at his bare face and fired, causing a constant stream of screams to be heard from the ranks of the guards.

Liu Yao, fully armored, stood in the queue, carefully keeping his head down to guard against arrows, while carefully examining the pirates' movements. He noticed that everyone had squeezed him behind the sandbox, so that in front of him was the sandbox occupied by the archers of the guard, flanked by guards soldiers, completely protected. The scene in front of him was completely unexpected, the expected spear slaughter did not take place, but was shot with a bow and arrow by his opponent from ten meters away. It was thought that with the weapons and tactics of their time, the pirates who swooped up like waves would only be defeated like a reef, but these pirates shot arrows 10 meters away from the reach of their spears, and the arrows were so powerful that they had no time to dodge. The archers of the guard were also gradually unable to count on it, and they were driven away by the pirates. Seeing that almost all the sandboxes were occupied by pirates, Liu Yao shouted: "Guards! Let's go! ”

Stimulated by the screams of their comrades and the constant flying arrows in front of them, the members of the guard could hardly control their desire to rush forward, and when they heard the order, they quickly took steps and walked forward. He Laoliu was originally standing behind the sandbox smartly, but he was squeezed between the sandboxes by his tall teammates, which made him very angry, so he violated the rules of not watching left and right and carefully glanced at the person who squeezed him on the left, and found that it was for Liu Yao to make room, and he immediately felt at ease. During the first wave of stabs just now, his pace was a beat slower, so the tip of the spear was still clean, reflecting the brighter and brighter sunlight. After the queue of the guards advanced, the bandits who had not been able to run away from the sandbox were quickly cleared, and the bandits on the beach slowly retreated with the pace of the guards, still releasing arrows. Some of the team members couldn't help but want to catch up, Liu Yao and Zhao Fei shouted together: "Guards!" Stop! After a little chaos, the queue was quickly put together and became a straight line. Zhao Fei looked sideways at Liu Yao, and saw that he was standing upright with a standard gun, so he ignored Liu Yao's doubts about what he might think, and ordered loudly: "Guards!" Run to chase! ”

Under this order, the soldier must run forward with a 3-meter spear in his hand, and also maintain a neat formation with his teammates, which is the most tactical command to test the combat skills of a team. Usually there is not much training for this instruction, even if there is not enough time to train to this difficulty, the effect of several drills is not necessarily good. But this time, in actual combat, the team members lined up very neatly, spears were like a forest, and the queue moved straight towards the pirates. Liu Yao ran at the front of the queue, and on the right was the familiar He Lao Liu. Looking at the thin body of his comrade-in-arms, Liu Yao reflexively thought that this guy would definitely become a target to attract opponents to attack: no one would take the initiative to choose a strong opponent. Anyone will weigh their pros and cons, Liu Yao found himself glancing at He Lao Liu again with disgust, and smiled in his heart.

On the front line of the pirate ranks also stood their leader. Li Chenglin knew that his team would definitely collapse if this continued, so he skillfully loaded the flintlock pistol while retreating, and when he was loaded, he raised the muzzle of the gun and shot at the soldiers in front of him. The soldier paused, the armor on his stomach visibly dented, but unscathed. This shot was not noticed by many people, but it completely stimulated the fighting spirit of Li Chenglin, an old pirate, and he knew that if he couldn't give it a go today and fight completely according to the rhythm of the other party, he was afraid that he would have to explain it here. He thrust his pistol into his belt, raised his broadsword and shouted, "Kill! A head of a hundred taels of silver! When the pirates heard this, they immediately pounced on them with red eyes.

Zhao Fei and Liu Yao didn't have time to give orders, and it was difficult to rely on their voices to transmit any orders on the noisy battlefield. The guards, all of whom had relied on the senses and regulations cultivated by long training, stopped in unison and stabbed almost simultaneously.

At this first stab, the pirates were killed more than thirty people.

In the usual training, Liu Yao let the soldiers practice confrontation with a wooden pole wrapped in cotton on their heads and a team holding a wooden knife, and practiced facing the impact by letting the soldiers stand between hungry pigs and fodder, so that these soldiers have a fairly comprehensive understanding of the tactics of the spear, especially the thrust and withdrawal of the gun are the most trained movements, and they have become proficient to the extent that they do not need to go through the brain. As soon as the soldiers succeeded, they immediately withdrew their guns and stabbed again. The crowded pirates became the best targets, and the second thrust took the lives of more than twenty pirates.

The guards entered their familiar combat mode, stabbing and withdrawing their guns, marching in small steps, repeating skillful movements. Basically, based on luck, there were not many pirates in front of Liu Yao, and now they were concentrating on a few points in the hope of breaking through the queue, so that Liu Yao would have more room to observe the surrounding situation. The archers of the guard were fairly well trained, and after the guards recaptured the sandboxes, they quickly assembled behind the guards, and even quickly completed the maneuver of bandaging and replenishing each other's arrows. Liu Yao was satisfied to see that the officers and soldiers were also well-trained, so he shouted loudly: "Archers, go to the sandbox again!" "The archers don't quite understand why they want to climb on it, in the past battles, the archers used to shoot behind the pikemen, and many times it was difficult to see the opponent, so directly facing the enemy and their swords and guns made the archers very uncomfortable. However, they quickly carried out the order, crawling towards the sandbox where they were dissatisfied with the corpses of their comrades and enemies.

The pirates who slashed each other at sea were certainly not easy opponents to deal with, and they quickly formed combat groups to take advantage of the weakness of the spears: one or two of them acted as the main defenders, wielding shields or heavy weapons such as glaives and axes, to fend off and knock the spears away, and then the other pirates rolled or jumped and went behind the spear's head, where the lance could not attack. In the face of such an attack, it was the main tactical action of the guard team, and I saw that the team members quickly withdrew their guns and quickly attacked, and the spears in the front and rear rows defended each other, trying not to shoot at the same time. In the spurt, most of the pirates who wanted to approach were pierced by spears, but there were also some places where there was a crisis of inferior quality, and the pirates approached the pikemen, wielding their weapons fiercely and killing them. Although the areas protected by armor are well protected, the face, neck, back, and limbs are not protected by armor and are easy targets. A cloud of blood mist rose, and bursts of screams came from the front of the guards. According to the training rules, pikemen should not pay attention to the breaches around them, as that would only create opportunities for the enemy head-on. The task of dealing with the breakthrough is generally given to the reserve team at the back of the queue, or to the comrades in the back row with short weapons. It's just that Liu Yao's team is very single, and there are no conventional knife and axe hands or boring rakers at all. Li Chenglin watched with satisfaction that at least three local pirates had made breakthroughs, although the reserves that were also holding spears reacted quickly and ran towards the breakthrough quickly, but the number of people was limited and they could not cope with three breakthroughs at the same time, they blocked one or two breakthroughs at most, and then they could not leave, and they had to fill the vacancies left by their fallen comrades. Li Chenglin knew that under normal circumstances, this would mean the arrival of the opponent's rout. In the battle against the officers and men a few days ago, the officers and men also showed high fighting skills and fighting spirit at the beginning, but once the breakthrough appeared, they quickly scattered and fled, becoming prey. Only this time for the guards, the archers became a strong support on the side. Liu Yao pointed to the biggest breakthrough and shouted, "Archer! Plug the leak! ”。

The archers who were standing on the sandboxes again finally understood why Liu Yao cared so much about these sandboxes, the height advantage of more than one meter allowed the archers to shoot at specific targets in the melee very accurately, unlike on the same plane, the first person in front of him would become an insurmountable obstacle and could not help in the face of the melee. Arrows were fired at the pirates who rushed into the queue, quickly curbing the decline of the biggest breach.

Li Chenglin has been paying attention to the balance of power between the two sides. Combat effectiveness aside, the large number of people has always been their advantage, and even after paying the price of some lives in artillery battles, they still have a numerical advantage on the beach. But with a wave of spears, a large number of his own men fell, several breaches were blocked, and the row of shiny armor in front of him was not at all chaotic. This gave him a premonition that irreparable defeat was coming. In a moment of panic, he looked back. A group of officers and soldiers were found to be gathering behind them! These guys want to surround themselves! Li Chenglin felt a burst of anger and panic, and shouted: "The officers and soldiers are going to outflank us!" Kill officers and soldiers! Wielding a broadsword, he turned around and ran towards the beach. While running, I thought that this was also a reason to escape, and if I made a good charge, I would scatter the officers and soldiers, and it was difficult to say how much physical strength the guards who followed me after running and how many people could be lined up neatly. If that were the case, the situation on the battlefield would be completely different. The pirates who ran with the leader were also confident, although there were more officers and soldiers in front of them than they were, at least their guns were not that long, and the queue was not so impregnable.

When the officers and men arrived at the position of the pirate's landing dinghy, they saw that the pirates guarding the dinghy saw that the momentum was not right, and after hurriedly firing a few arrows, they jumped into the dinghu and rowed away. The officers and soldiers who had found nothing were scolding in anger, and the pirates in the distance were already running towards them. Yao kept up with the team out of breath, and before he could regret running so far he still lost the opportunity to capture the dinghy, and he could already hear their chaotic shouts when he saw the pirates suddenly change direction and run towards him. Last time, under such shouts, his team collapsed. Looking past the running pirates from a distance, the shining armor of the guards is still a complete line, and it seems that this Liu Yao really guarded. But the guards must have paid the price, and every shiny piece of armor lying on the beach was so conspicuous.

Yao always thought to himself: Why don't these bandits fight over there? Seeing this large number of people running towards him, the situation of this back-to-back battle is not comfortable. Angrily ordered: "The whole team! The whole team! "Kicking and punching soldiers who are slower than they can run. In the face of the group of pirates running in chaos, Yao arranged a pocket formation, which was a phalanx that opened in the direction of the pirates. The advantage of this phalanx is that after the enemy rushes in, the soldiers on both sides can come together and surround the pirates, achieving the initial goal of encircling and completely eliminating the pirates.

Yao watched with satisfaction as the pocket array in front of him was quickly arranged, but he didn't notice that the bottom edge towards the pirate was the thinnest. He also happily thought that although he was the chief officer of the guard post that he bought with money, he was still sympathetic to the soldiers, diligent in training, and he was also considered to be a person above, and the money and food that should be pulled out were still timely, so the soldiers trained in this way were still quite combative, although the last battle failed, but the pirates did not get any benefits, and after rushing and killing for a while, they were unable to plunder, and they could be regarded as keeping the safety of the people. As he thought about it, he saw the row of shiny armor in the distance on the beach begin to move, still gently pushing it in a neat row. This goal of outflanking will soon be achieved. It's just that the dinghy that had been rowed away from the distance came back again, which made Yao always a little worried. (To be continued.) )
