Chapter 207: Three Strikes

At this time, even the demoralized officers and soldiers couldn't help but be a little angry, the sea wolf didn't take them seriously at all, it was like treating them as nothing, and rushed straight and straight towards them, how could they look down on people so much?

It is that people always have to be a little bloody, even the most timid officers and soldiers, at this time, they can't help but be a little despised by others, so at this time, the morale of the officers and soldiers is a little restored, and the two wings began to accelerate towards the sea wolf phalanx.

Li Dazui was in the middle of the queue, always observing the situation of the officers and soldiers, silently calculating the distance between the officers and soldiers on the two wings and them.

Those sea wolf tribesmen in the queue, although they seem to be calm on the surface, but they are still a little nervous in their hearts, after all, they are facing four times their enemies today, and they may suffer a big loss if they are not careful, and thousands of people are surrounding them like this, if they are not worried at all, then they are not normal people.

However, after long-term high-intensity and rigorous training, they have subtly formed an instinct to obey orders, no matter how nervous they are, they still habitually listen to the sharp whistle in the queue, mechanically move their legs forward, and try not to look at the enemy's situation.

Li Dazui did not shout until the officers and troops on both sides had pressed nearly 100 meters on their flank, and then shouted to stop the advance of the troops, and the officers on both sides immediately ordered their men to turn left and right, including the last queue, were also ordered to turn back at the same time, and the entire phalanx suddenly stopped.

When the officers and soldiers entered this distance, they finally burst out with their last strength, and I don't know who broke out with a shout, and suddenly the officers and troops on both wings swarmed towards the phalanx of the sea wolves.

"Gun down the shoulder, reload ......" the officer shouted hysterically in the phalanx.

The musketeers of the sea wolves immediately removed the muskets they were carrying from their shoulders and began to reload them quickly, although the musketeers on the wings and in the rear were not equipped with wolf-tooth rifles, but their Nan-Japanese flintlock pistols were still absolutely sharp weapons in this era.

In just a few moments, the musketeers were all loaded, resting their butts on their shoulders, gripping their guns tightly with both hands, pointing their muzzles where they should be pointing.

"Fire!" When the officers saw that the officers and soldiers had rushed to a distance of sixty or seventy paces from them, they finally gave the order to open fire.

Listening only to the formation of the two armies, there was a burst of roaring sounds, and when many muskets fired at the same time, it was no longer possible to hear the sound of individual guns, and all the gunshots were almost all sounded within a second or two, so the gunshots were practiced into pieces at this time, and there was a shocking roar.

The entire phalanx of the sea wolves instantly opened fire on the officers and soldiers who surrounded them on three sides like a volcanic eruption, and the officers and soldiers who were charging were as if they had hit a wall of air, and the people who rushed to the front let out a miserable scream in unison, and fell to the ground one by one.

However, this did not immediately stop the advance of the officers and soldiers, who thought that they were still familiar with the birds, and in their opinion, it was inevitable that they would die if they rushed forward, but as long as they could hold on, as long as they could rush in front of the enemy, then the enemy musketeers would become soft-footed crabs, and they could no longer pose a threat to them.

Once the bird gun is useless, it is not as good as a burning stick, as long as they can get close, then these damn sea wolf tribes can only wait to be slaughtered by them, they can pull back this array in one fell swoop, as long as they can defeat this group of sea wolf people, then they can take advantage of the situation to retake their camp in one fell swoop.

So these generals didn't dare to slack off at this time, and led their subordinate officers and soldiers like crazy, and even took the lead in killing the sea wolf's big array.

However, they still underestimated the reloading speed of the Seawolf's musketeers, and the Seawolf immediately began to fire in three rounds after stopping his advance.

After each platoon of gunners fired, they did not hesitate to retreat to the back to reload, and the gunners in the second row immediately stepped forward to continue firing, and so on, and so on, the gunfire in the seawolf phalanx formed a continuous fire.

The officers and soldiers on the three sides of the sea wolf phalanx are unlucky, but those who rush to the front often don't have time to rush to the front of the sea wolf's formation, and they are cut to the ground one after another, and there is no chance to break through to the front of the sea wolf formation, at most it is closer to the sea wolf's phalanx, but the cost of casualties is amazing.

Although the Southern Japanese flintlock pistol is still a smoothbore gun, it cannot be far, but the seawolf's smoothbore flintlock pistol has a large caliber, heavy projectile, and strong close-range lethality.

Gunpowder smoke kept rising on three sides of the phalanx, gradually enveloping the phalanx of the sea wolves, so that their vision was also blocked, and gradually they could no longer aim accurately, and could only keep taking turns to fire volleys, even so, it was difficult for the officers and soldiers to rush to their front.

Chen Wencan immediately stopped on the high slope behind the big array, and saw it more clearly than the people in the array, only to see that the officers and soldiers under his command kept rushing towards the sea wolf's phalanx like a tide, and then as if slapping on the reef, a piece of blood mist was raised, and the corpses of the officers and soldiers were spread all over the periphery of the sea wolf phalanx dozens of steps.

But he still hardened his heart, and kept ordering the drums to beat the order, not to stop the charge, and ordered his own soldiers and generals to personally go behind the two wings to supervise the formation, but if anyone retreated without permission, he would be killed immediately.

Because Chen Wencan knew that this was his last chance today, if the sea wolf was not so arrogant and took the initiative, with the officers and troops under his command, it would be really difficult to attack the big camp, but now the sea wolf gave them a chance, so that they could divide and surround them outside the big camp.

If he can't defeat this sea wolf's soldiers and horses even at this time, then there will be no chance in the future.

So his heart became hard at this time, and he didn't care about the cost, and death ordered the officers and soldiers to rush forward.

But although he thought so, but the fate of the officers and soldiers themselves, just now they finally mustered up the last of their blood bravery, and rushed towards the sea wolf flying march, but when they saw their robes fall one after another to their sides and in front of them, this blood courage could not last long.

As a result, some officers and men began to slow down or even stop altogether, huddled together in a panic, and some even began to turn around, ready to flee at any time.

A thousand general eyes were cracked, waiting for blood-red eyes, and roared: "Brothers, you can't retreat!" Today, if we can't break the thief army, I'm afraid we will all die without a place to be buried, if we fight, there is still a chance to live, if we don't fight, we will not live! Rush with Lao Tzu! As long as they rush over, it will be their end! Kill! Kill! Kill ......"

When they saw that the usual Lord Qianzong had already rushed forward at this time, brandishing his waist knife, some officers and soldiers finally calmed down, they actually knew in their hearts that they were going to fight hard today, and if they didn't fight, they would be trapped on this isolated island, and they would never have a chance to return to land!

Now that the matter has come to this, fighting is death, not fighting or dying, it is better to fight and fight for this life, so under the leadership of this Qianzong, the charge that has been contained suddenly became fierce again.

Although the musketeers of the sea wolves are still firing their guns, in front of the officers and soldiers rushing in like a tide, this kind of firepower still seems to be weaker, once the officers and soldiers give up their lives, in the face of their absolute superiority, the quantitative change may turn into a qualitative change.

Under the charge at any cost, the officers and soldiers finally broke through to about twenty meters in front of the Seawolf infantry formation, and at this time, in the blink of an eye, the enemy might rush in front of them in the next moment.

At this moment, a rapid sound of horns sounded in the phalanx, and all the musketeers immediately stopped firing, put the butt of the musket at their feet, reached behind him with his right hand, and quickly drew a short sword at the waist, and with a click, the tail of the short sword was stuck in the mouth of the musket, and in an instant their musket turned into a short spear, and then they held it in their hands again.

The pikemen arranged in the four corners of the seawolf phalanx have always been depressed, and can only watch the musketeers shoot the enemy constantly, but they have no chance to participate in the battle.

It was only then that they finally got a chance to test their skills, and at the shouts of the pikemen commander, the pikemen also flattened their spears at the same time, pointing them at the enemy troops who were charging at them.

"Kill ......" The land soldiers who only listened to all the sea wolves roared wildly at this time, and their momentum was instantly raised to the extreme.

The officers and soldiers who rushed up from both wings collided with the two wings of the sea wolf phalanx almost instantly, and a tragic battle sounded.

The pikemen didn't have time to observe the enemy in front of them at this time, almost instinctively kept stabbing forward, for the pikemen, their usual training was very simple, that is, stabs, stabs, non-stop stabs, everyone had to make such a stabbing action thousands of times a day, so over the years, these people's spears stabbed so fast, even the best martial artists in the world, when they received this shot, they would feel their scalp tingle.

The officers and soldiers finally rushed to the front of the sea wolf phalanx, and before many people even had time to raise the knives and guns in their hands, a cluster of spear tips flashed with cold light and stabbed in front of them, and they didn't even have a chance to react, so they were pierced into their bodies by the tips of these spears.
