As we all know, cold weapons are very important to the dense formation in the battle, the small spacing between the soldiers, can form a stronger collision force, can also enhance the morale of the group, increase the courage of individual soldiers, when the front to cut people, the left and right look at their own comrades, the passion and courage are naturally rising......

This is also reflected in many places on the earth in the 21st century, where riot police lined up in a dense phalanx and set up explosion-proof shields to easily suppress the 'riot citizens' who were far larger than their own.

Advancing like a wall is used to describe the terrible thing about the infantry formation.

This is why, in the era of cold weapons, the army commander never gave up the dense military formation, knowing that the army could be easily slaughtered by far more firepower when gathered.

The dense military formation hit the loose crowd, and it was impossible to rely on personal bravery to resist, even if one person reacted quickly and with great strength, he could resist one or two...... Soldiers, can they still protect their whole body from the airtight?

There is no shortage of ancient martial arts masters who fly on the wall and kill people through the wall, but in the face of the black pressure of the iron bucket-like military formation, the soldiers attack in rows with big swords and spears, and no matter how high the martial arts are, they will be surrounded and killed!

Of course, the Taiping soldiers who lined up to cover the past in the military formation instantly defeated the scattered white bandits and marauders who tried to resist and lost the array, and all the two-legged creatures that stopped in front of the Taiping soldiers' soldiers' formation, whether they were white young men with weapons or unarmed white villagers captives, were all stabbed and slashed to the ground, and then trampled by groups of big-footed girls, even if they were not hacked to death at that time, they would be trampled to death.

This is also the terrible thing about the dense military formation, this kind of infantry hand-to-hand combat, it is difficult to pretend to be dead, because the dense human wall will not deliberately avoid the human body on the ground, but will only step on it as a piece of soft stone......

As long as you fall, you are basically not far from death!

The white bandits and marauders on the battlefield had only time to fire the first bullet of the arquebus, and they were engulfed by the brave Taiping soldiers, leaving behind the corpses and the unfortunate ones who had been trampled to death.

In order to defeat the white bandits and marauders in the shortest possible time and achieve victory, Hong Tiancheng did not withdraw the white villagers who were placed in front of the Taiping soldiers from beginning to end, and as a result, this group of poor people became the first victims of this battle.

The strict military formation of the Taiping soldiers quickly crushed the morale of the white bandits to resist, even if there were individual white bandits who resisted out of the hatred of the tragic death of their relatives, they only knocked out blood flowers in front of the Taiping army formation, and could not change the overall situation at all, and the leaders of the white bandits who rode war horses were even more frightened by the slaughtering charge of the Taiping soldiers, and they did not even launch a decent cavalry charge, so they scattered and fled without a trace on traveling horses.

More than 50 white horseback bandits, who had not even launched an attack, were so frightened that they collapsed and disintegrated, relying on the speed of four legs away from this slaughtering cemetery, and disappeared into the edge of the horizon.

Hong Tiancheng looked at the more than 50 traveling horses that had escaped, and couldn't help but secretly curse this group of white bandits for being cowardly as rats, making him lose the opportunity to harvest war horses......

Hong Tiancheng overestimated the morale of these seemingly fierce white bandits and marauders coalition army, thinking that the opposite side would at least try to launch a counteroffensive, after all, not all white bandit looters are out of the queue to 'recognize relatives', there are still many armed white men waiting for it, but unfortunately, these people after seeing the Taiping army chopping vegetables and melons all the way, like those leaders on traveling horses, how fast and how far they run.

However, Hong Tiancheng was helpless against the white bandits on horseback, and he was unwilling to let go of this group of white bandits who were also two-legged, and Hong Tiancheng was very greedy for the arquebuses on their bodies!

As a result, the Taiping sergeants, who completely defeated more than 500 white bandits, were divided into more than a dozen squads under Hong Tiancheng's compulsory order, and opened the 'marathon pursuit' mode for those white bandits who scattered and fled with arquebuses in their hands.

Hong Tiancheng's order is very clear - people can not kill, but the gun must be snatched by Lao Tzu!

Even a group of spontaneously formed rural white mob armed forces have so many muskets, Hong Tiancheng can imagine with his ass how high the regular army musket in this area will be, and even artillery is likely to be classified as conventional weapons.

Even Hong Tian, who knows nothing about Western history, knows that Westerners made their fortune on firearms, and they pay far more attention to the equipment and development of muskets than to Eastern countries!

Those white bandits with arquebuses suddenly felt unbalanced when they saw that the pursuers behind them only followed themselves and let go of the other companions, but no matter how unbalanced they were, they didn't dare to turn back and reason with the Taiping soldiers...... Why only hunt them down and not the others?

Reasonable people tend to die faster at this time, so the surviving white musketeers made a very simple choice: in order to lighten the weight of the fleeing body, they threw the arquebus on the ground along with some of the ammunition that was in the way.

At first, the few white musketeers who ran away were just trying to lose weight, but when the others found that the Taiping soldiers had picked up muskets and ammunition and no longer pursued, they all contributed their firearms to the Taiping soldiers.

Hong Tiancheng's orders were well implemented, almost all the arquebuses of the white bandit coalition army fell into the hands of the Taiping soldiers, and after the battle, because Hong Tiancheng defeated more than 500 people with more than 300 people, he gained two points of personal prestige, and at the same time, there were many Taiping soldiers who accumulated enough experience to upgrade!

The only downside is that this battle does not gain additional guilt points......

Since most of the people killed were white villagers who stood in the way, the white young bandits who could really contribute to the crime value ran faster than the other after the defeat, and the people killed by the Taiping soldiers could only contribute less than one percent of the crime value, so Hong Tianchengzhi obtained a pitiful 14 crime points.

That is, about 140 white bandits armed with weapons died in the battle.

The killing of a person who surrenders with a weapon does not count as guilt, only the person who actively resists is killed, and of course, even if a person who resists unarmed with fists and teeth is killed, it will also count as guilt.

Hong Tiancheng decisively chose to promote the new soldiers of the Taiping Army after learning that the veteran Taiping soldiers were promoted to the senior soldiers of the Taiping Army, and each person needed to spend an additional 5 sin points.
