The more than 1,200 musketeers under the command of Captain Xiang Hu had just rushed to a position one hundred and fifty steps away from the gate of the dock, far away from the range of the muskets equipped by the imperial sailors, when the crackling musket shooting began to sound at the pier.

When he first heard the gunshot, the captain Xiang Hu was taken aback. I thought that the imperial court had created some new type of musket that could kill and injure itself at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces.

However, when he saw the sound of gunfire, his musketeers continued intact.

The little worry in my heart disappeared in an instant.

After glancing at the subordinates around him who were also flustered, Xiang Hu hurriedly spoke: "Brothers, don't be afraid...... The officers and soldiers were just bluffing, their muskets could not hit so far...... The fact that the brothers in front are still intact is ......"

"Pass my order, all the musketeers, immediately line up, and as they advance, they will shoot at each other with the officers and soldiers......

Xiang Hu's cry made the atmosphere of the guerrillas' slight riot suddenly become much calmer.

Subsequently, it didn't take long for three musket arrays to appear in front of Xiang Hu.

One musket array equipped with only the field units of the Haw Par Army, and two musket arrays equipped with the muskets of the new army captured by the imperial court.

Under Xiang Hu's order, the three musket arrays soon appeared in front of the officers and soldiers in an arc.

The musket formation, which was the least numerous, but equipped with the best muskets, undoubtedly stood in the middle of the arc, and with the muskets far above the range of the opponent, they were shot in large numbers, giving them the kind of posture that the guerrillas were already heavily equipped with such muskets.

As for the musketeers who defended the wings, there was only one task. That was to protect the more than two hundred musketeers in the middle of the formation. Destroy all the officers and musketeers who want to launch a counterattack......

"Shoot ......" looked at the musketeers in front of him, who could already be called orderly advance and retreat. While Xiang Hu looked satisfied, he ordered decisively.

Then, the sound of gunfire like beans rang out in the middle of the musket array in front of him.

After the musketeers in the front row finished firing, they did not retreat, but simply crouched in place to reload the muskets.

As for the musketeers in the rear, they also quickly took two steps forward and crossed the musketeers in the front row. Pick up the musket and pull the musket without hesitation.

Thus, there was such a scene on the battlefield, and with each volley of lead bullets fired by the guerrilla musketeers, the dense musket array was pushed forward one step further.

More importantly, every time the guerrilla musketeers fired a round of lead bullets, a series of screams rang out from the officers' and soldiers' musket formations more than 100 paces away.

And look at the guerrilla musket formation, because it is still outside the range of the court muskets, the whole offensive process. There were no casualties.

Musketeers continued to appear under his command, while the guerrillas on the opposite side did not suffer any losses.

The commander of the dock sailors can be said to have seen it. Anxious in the heart.

After losing hundreds of people in a row, he faced his subordinates who were already panicking. The commander of the sailor knew that if the soldiers under his command continued to be beaten passively, it would not be long before these people around him would collapse on their own.

After some contemplation, the commander immediately decided: "You must take the initiative and lean on...... Only by getting closer to the partisans can our muskets kill them......"

"The general will order, and the troops will immediately counterattack...... The rest of the soldiers at the dock are all gathered at the main gate and guarded the main gate for Ben General......"

The idea of the commander-in-chief of the imperial navy was right, but it was obviously very difficult for them to break through the interception of a thousand muskets, get closer to the guerrillas, and make their own muskets useful.

Just as more than 2,000 officers and musketeers began to counterattack against round after round of lead bullets, the remaining 2,000 officers and troops at the wharf also quickly began to assemble and completely exposed the empty wharf to the guerrillas.

After seeing the changes in the battlefield very clearly, the captain quickly flashed a sneer on the tiger's face.

Facing the herald beside him, he ordered without thinking: "Order, the sword and shield hands and long scramble that lurk around the dock, attack immediately...... Entered the dock, copied the back road of the officers and soldiers of the naval division, and completely occupied the dock. “

When Xiang Hu's order was quickly transmitted to the hidden troops, the commander of the naval division was commanding his officers and men with a solemn face, and attacked step by step with great difficulty.

Because, every time they took a step forward, several, a dozen, or even dozens of musketeers fell in the attack.

Looking at the more and more heavy casualties of the soldiers under his command, the morale and morale of the army are becoming more and more turbulent.

The commander of the sailor had to stand up again and shout: "Soldiers...... Ten steps, as long as we attack ten more steps, our muskets can hit them, and the final victory will be ours......"

"When the time comes, I will personally ask you to go to the court to ask for merit, add officials to knighthood, and reward silver...... Just keep rushing for me, just ten more steps......"

Although the words of the commander of the water division did not have much impact on the entire battle situation.

However, it still has a role in boosting morale.

After saying the same sentence, the morale of the two thousand musketeers was visibly shaken, and the pace of continuing to attack became more powerful.

To see that victory has begun to beckon to you, you are about to ask for a passive beating situation.

A shout of killing suddenly sounded in the already empty dock.

More than a thousand sword and shield men and long sought-after swordsmen almost encountered any obstacles, and fought their way into the dock.

Then, like a heavenly soldier, he appeared behind the dock officers.

In the face of the guerrillas that suddenly appeared behind him and were close at hand, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the naval division fell into shock and did not react for a long time.

When they finally reacted, they began to turn their wounds in a panic, intending to shoot the guerrillas with their muskets.

More than a thousand sword shield hands and long squirmers had easily rushed in front of them.

The long muskets had not yet been raised, and the spears clenched tightly in the hands of the guerrillas had already appeared on their chests with a slight whistling sound of breaking wind.

At this time, they didn't have time to react at all, and could only watch the spear head emitting a cold light in front of them easily stab into their chests.

In the blink of an eye, more than 100 sailor musketeers fell under the assassination of the long sought-after.

And that's just the beginning.

After stabbing the first row of musketeers, the already chaotic musket array of the sailors became even more chaotic at this moment.

The guerrillas, numbering more than 1,000 people, did not miss this opportunity and immediately seized the opportunity to rush into the officers' musket formations and fight with more than 2,000 musketeers of the naval division.

In order to adapt to the possible close-range fighting on the battlefield, the Haw Par Army is equipped with new muskets, all equipped with bayonets.

Equip the musket with a bayonet, and the musket will become a short spear that can be used to continue assassinating the enemy.

However, the muskets equipped by the imperial court did not have this function.

In close-quarters combat, a musket that can't shoot is not as good as a burning stick...... (To be continued......)
