"Musketeers, stand back!" With Ren Siqi's order, fifteen musketeers walked quickly through the gap between the pikemen and lined up behind the pikemen, where they would reload their ammunition in the hope of fighting again. The musketeer www.biquge.info with an arrow in the shoulder gritted his teeth and followed back to the array without saying a word, but he could no longer lift one arm, and of course he lost his combat effectiveness.

"Rush, their muskets can't fight anymore, kill them and kill them!" Zhou Min shouted loudly and took the lead in rushing towards the other party. The Daishan pirates have reached the most dangerous time, and only by defeating the opposing officers and troops can they recapture their own camp, otherwise their life's work will be wasted. At this time, Zhou Min didn't dare to spare his life, if the foundation was gone, what was the point of living?

Seeing the pirates on the opposite side rushing over with a fierce shout, the spearmen turned pale one by one, although they had been trained for more than 20 days, after all, most of them were newcomers who had just joined the gang, and the oldest Han people who came back from Luzon had only participated in a few battles, and in terms of momentum, they could compare with the pirates who had been looting for many years.

Looking at the menacing pirates rushing on the opposite side, Ren Siqi suddenly regretted a little, regretting that he had sent Mao 18 and more than 20 people to block the pirates' retreat. The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, the rabbit bites in a hurry, and he is completely confused by the poor performance of the pirates just now, and the pirates who forget that they are driven to a dead end may also exert great combat effectiveness.

"Calm down, raise the spear!" Monroe yelled. Ren Siqi thought that he was not familiar with leading troops, and delegated command to Monroe, an experienced Dutchman.

The pikemen were a little scared, but the long training allowed them to instinctively obey Monroe's orders. The spear was flat-ended, and the sharp tip of the spear pointed straight at the pirate rushing from the opposite side.

In fact, the pikeman's array is only two thin rows, and as long as it can be chiseled head-on, it can only be slaughtered.

The fiery red sun had already leapt out of the sea and hung in the eastern sky. The seamen lined up with their backs to the east and west, and the sun shone on the faces of the pirates attacking to the east. Enduring the dazzling sunlight, looking at the flickering cold light of the enemy's spear on the opposite side and the motionless enemy, the pirate running at the front suddenly felt a little frightened in his heart, and his pace involuntarily slowed down. In the face of the opponent's gun, you can't hit it with your chest!

Nearly sixty pirates were held off by sixteen spears, and behind the pikemen, fifteen musketeers were nervously reloading.

"Kill!" Zhou Min knew that the situation was urgent, and he had to kill the array of these dozen pikemen before the musketeers on the opposite side loaded their ammunition, and immediately took the lead in swinging the long knives and latched towards the spears on the opposite side, as long as they could separate the spears and get closer, the pikemen on the opposite side would be at their mercy.

"Turn left! Stab! At this moment, the Dutchman Monroe gave the order, and Zhou Min saw that the spearman in front of him didn't care about himself at all, but turned his body to the left at an angle, exposing his right arm in front of him.

Zhou Min was overjoyed, and was about to swing his knife to unload the arm of the spearman opposite, when he suddenly felt a chill rushing towards his left waist, and the knife he swung did not dare to cut forward, but pulled down with the momentum, just blocking a spear.

"Grass!" Zhou Min scolded angrily, turned his head to look, and saw the opponent's spearman on his left side retracting the spear he stabbed out expressionlessly.

Before Zhou Min could scold, another spear stabbed from the front, but it was the second row of spearmen who took advantage of the situation to stab him. All of Zhou Min's attention was attracted by the spear stabbed on the left side just now, in order to block the spear stabbed on the left, his body was already unbalanced, and he couldn't twist it at all, so he could only watch a cold light piercing his chest.

I can't imagine that I, Zhou Min, have been crisscrossing the waters of Zhoushan for many years, and I will die here today, Zhou Min sighed in his heart, and he wanted to close his eyes and wait for death. At this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed Zhou Min's back collar, and a strong force came, dragging Zhou Min back sharply, just avoiding the spear stabbed from the front.

Saved in death, Zhou Min only felt that there was a layer of sweat all over his body, and he was cold. He didn't care to see who had saved him, but when he looked around, he saw that seven or eight of his men had fallen in a pool of blood.

The pikemen under Monroe's command used the left-stabbing tactic of the Spanish pikemen, with the pikemen in the front row turning to the left to attack the left flank of the opposing enemy, leaving the frontal enemy entirely in charge of their companions, while the pikemen in the second row were responsible for the frontal attack and defense.

Just like Zhou Min just now, the pirates suddenly found that the enemy in front of them turned around, and during their surprise, they were suddenly attacked by the enemy on the left, most of them were holding weapons in their right hands, and they couldn't block the spears that stabbed them in the left waist and abdomen, and many people died under the spears without reacting at all, and the few who could make the left spears often couldn't dodge the spears stabbed in the front of the second row of pikemen.

At the end of the round, seven or eight pirates were killed by the spears, and the places where the two sides came into contact were empty.

"Two steps forward!" Following Monroe's orders, the spearmen slowly moved forward, forcing the retreating pirates.

"Big boss, you block them first, and I'll lead people to attack them from the side!" Song Liben, the second master, shouted loudly.

Zhou Min recovered from the panic and looked at the opposite side, the array of sixteen spearmen in the two rows was very thin, as long as it was copied from behind, the opponent's gun array would no longer be able to exert its power.

"Okay, let's go." Zhou Min agreed, and then loudly encouraged his retreating subordinates to block the enemy's attack.

Song Liben tangled up a dozen or so pirates behind him, and outflanked the opposing spearmen from the outside.

"Turn left, stab!" With Monroe's order, seven or eight more pirates died under the spears, and for such a simple tactic, the pirates simply could not block.

"Resist, resist!" Zhou Min brandished a long knife, coercing his subordinates not to retreat, now the outflanked Song Liben has become the key to determining the victory, as long as he can withstand the opponent's attack, and when Song Liben is successfully outflanked, under the attack on both sides, the victory must belong to his side!

Song Liben led more than a dozen people to bypass the pirates and enemy pikemen who were fighting, and was about to attack the pike formation from the flank and back, when suddenly more than a dozen muskets with black holes pointed at his side, but it was the other party's musketeers who had already reloaded the projectiles.

How did I forget the other party's musketeer, just when Song Liben was annoyed, suddenly a white light appeared on the opposite side, Song Liben was so frightened that he hugged his head and crawled to the ground, and at this moment, the deafening sound reached his ears.

The musket fire at close range had an extremely high hit rate, and at least half of the dozen pirates fell under the gun.

"Kill!" The surviving five or six pirates were not intimidated, brandishing their weapons at the enemy who had already emptied their muskets, but they were surprised to see that the enemy on the other side had dropped their muskets and pulled out their steel knives from their waists.

The flanking attack failed, and with another round of pikemen's left stabs, the remaining pirate array burst apart, and the twenty or so remaining pirates fled in all directions, some fleeing to the rear, others fleeing to the sea.

Suddenly, several boats appeared from the sea behind, and it was Mao Shibai who led people to outflank them from the rear by boat.
