Chapter 376: Brutal hand-to-hand combat

Looking at the pirates screaming and struggling in the firelight, there was no trace of sympathy and uneasiness in the eyes of the sergeants who were shooting, some were just cold and ruthless, even the recruits who had been in the army for less than a year pulled the trigger without any hesitation.

Because they know very well that these people who are screaming and running and dodging should not look at them as pitiful as they are now, but if the situation is reversed tonight, those pirates will only be more ruthless than they are, they will not only kill their own people, but they will also take everything they have, they are a bunch of pirates who live by burning and plundering.

"Beep ......"

A sharp whistle sounded in the battle array, and then the loud shouts of the hundreds of presidents rang out in the battle array.

"Stop shooting...... Stop shooting ......"

"Forward...... Lined up to march ......"

With the order of the hundred generals, the rows of sergeants slowly closed in front of the formation.

"Everybody wasn't allowed to stop, they all rushed out for me...... Otherwise, everyone will die here! ”

In the team, Yang Geng brandished the ghost head knife and shouted desperately, as a habitual bandit who licked blood with a knife all year round, of course he understood that once the encirclement of the Jiangning army was closed, none of them would want to escape unless they had their wings.

In order to survive, Yang Geng commanded the Gengzi battalion under his command to kill desperately towards the back, he knew very well that since the Jiangning army had set up a pocket formation here, the pocket mouth in front was naturally the strongest and difficult to break through, and the only way to survive was to kill it while the Jiangning army behind had not closed the bag mouth.

Seeing that the Gengzi battalion was desperately killing backwards under the command of Yang Geng, Zheng Cai and Chen Hui also coincidentally commanded the Caizi battalion and the Huizi battalion to follow behind, and the three teams of men and horses killed in the shape of a zigzag towards the pocket that had not yet been tied.

Facts have proved that in order to survive, people can indeed exert amazing energy under certain circumstances, when Yang Geng led his troops to rush to the mouth of the bag laid by the Jiangning army, the pocket array of the Jiangning army had not yet been closed, and only more than two hundred sergeants were outflanked under the leadership of two hundred generals.

Seeing that more than 200 sergeants were about to outflank him, Yang Geng's voice, which had become a little hoarse, shouted: "Brothers, kill for your life!" ”

"Kill!"

The remaining more than 400 pirates rushed towards the more than 200 Jiangning troops under his leadership, and behind them were more than 1,000 pirates from the Caizi Battalion and the Huizi Battalion.

"Fire!"

Seeing the pirates rushing towards him, the Jiangning army leader suppressed the violent heartbeat in his heart and gave the order to shoot in a voice that became sharp.

"Bang ......"

A row of guns rang out, and dozens of pirates who rushed to the front from a hundred meters away fell to the ground screaming, but the pirates behind did not stop their steps, and still roared and rushed towards them.

"The first row is back, the second row is ready to ......"

"Fire!"

The hundred households in the second row also gave the order to fire without hesitation.

"Bang ......"

Dozens of pirates fell in a pool of blood, although they lost hundreds of people in these two rounds of shooting, but Yang Geng's heart was not angry but happy, he shouted in a voice that had become hoarse: "Brothers, those officers and soldiers have finished the medicine, and there is no medicine in their firearms, they all rush up with me, we can live after killing them!" ”

"Kill!"

The pirates were also in high spirits, screaming and rushing forward desperately.

How long does it take to cover a distance of 100 meters? Later generations of sprinters Usain Bolt generally recorded a time of 9.58 seconds in the 100 meters.

Of course, we can't use such a standard to demand these pirates, after all, Bolt is a world champion, but after a discount, it takes about twenty seconds for ordinary people, and considering that the pirates have been killed for a while, their strength has been somewhat consumed, so it will take about thirty seconds to calculate.

What can you do in 30 seconds?

The answer was that these times allowed the sergeants of the Jiangning Army to fire another round, and when the pirates rushed to less than thirty meters away from the loose formation of the Jiangning Army, the sound of fire began to sound again, and because they knew that there was no chance to fire again, this time it was two rows of volleys.

Looking at the hideous and crazy faces of the pirates, who were already clearly visible, the Bai Zong standing at the front waved the saber in his hand and shouted the order to shoot.

As the dull gunfire rang out again, the pirates who had rushed to the front fell in large numbers.

And after this time the shooting was finished, the Bai Zong took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "All of them have ...... Get on the bayonet! ”

"Brush ......"

With the sound of metal clashes, a series of five- or six-type three-edged bayonets imitated by the Minghu Iron and Steel Works were loaded onto the firearms, and in the firelight, the surface of these phosphated bayonets reflected a miserable white light.

Yang Geng, who rushed to the front, looked at the more than 200 Jiang Ning soldiers standing in front of him and finally stopped loading, but took out a handful of things from his waist and put them on the muzzle, and he shouted in ecstasy: "Brothers, those dog officers and soldiers don't have any medicine." Together, shoulder to shoulder...... Kill them all! ”

In Yang Geng's almost howling roar, the pirates around him also let out a roaring shout and rushed towards the Jiang Ning army in front of him.

Seeing the thousands of pirates dressed in various costumes in front of him rushing towards him with hideous faces, the head of the Bai Zong showed a resolute and senseless look in his eyes, and then shouted loudly: "Brothers, form a three-talent formation, prepare to use guns!" ”

"Whoa!"

With the order of this hundred generals, more than 200 sergeants immediately moved, and at the same time they lifted their guns with their right hands, and the whole person, with the sole of his right foot as the axis, turned his body half to the right, and the whole person was facing the enemy, and his eyes were fixed on them.

Jiang Ningjun's actions made Yang Geng a little surprised, although the Jiang Ningjun just now gave them a great blow, but he still thought that the Jiang Ningjun was just relying on the advantage of firearms, if the two sides engaged in close combat, Jiang Ningjun was definitely not their opponent, and it was very likely that they would not even dare to fight and retreat.

But he was wrong, although Yang Feng vigorously developed firearms in the Jiangning Army, and even wanted to build it into a pure firearms army, he would not be naΓ―ve to think that the era of hot weapons was coming, and the soldiers no longer needed to fight the enemy in close combat. Yang Feng has made up for his military knowledge, even in the later World War II period, hand-to-hand combat of a certain scale often broke out on the battlefields of China and Japan, not to mention that this army can only be regarded as a modern hot weapon at best.

Moreover, allowing the troops to exercise and fight can not only give the soldiers more means to save their lives, but also cultivate the brave and tenacious fighting style of the troops and improve the morale of the troops during training.

The distance of more than thirty meters only took a few seconds for those who sprinted with all their strength to arrive, and soon the first pirates who rushed in front of them collided with the sergeants of the Jiangning Army.

"Kill!"

Just as one of the pirates smiled and waved his long knife at a sergeant in front of him, something surprising happened to him, only to see the sergeant give way to his attack, and then he only saw a flash of cold light, and the other sergeant standing next to him roared, and the bayonet in his hand stabbed at him like lightning.

"Poof"

With a soft thud, the sharp three-edged bayonet stabbed him in the chest with ease.

A sharp tingling sensation reached the pirate's mind, and he had just lowered his head to see what had been stabbed into his body, but the other had already pulled the bayonet out of his chest. As the bayonet was drawn, a stream of bloody arrows spurted out of the wound, and he immediately felt the strength of his whole body drain away with the bayonet being drawn.

What the pirate didn't know was that the bayonet used by Jiang Ningjun was a copy of the five or six bayonets of later generations, which had a prismatic blade and blood grooves on three sides. The whole knife is heat-treated, and the hardness is extremely high, because after the blood groove on three sides pierces the human body, a large amount of air will enter, and the wound is difficult to suture. Because of the viciousness of this bayonet, it has long been banned by the United Nations in later generations.

And this kind of bayonet at the beginning of the design, is to stab and bleed, this kind of three-edged army stabbing out of the wound, is generally a square hole, the wound can not be squeezed on each other to achieve a certain hemostasis and healing effect, moreover, this wound can not be bandaged, stop the blockage of blood vessels, only need to pierce into any part of the human body about 8 centimeters, can make the opponent kill immediately, and in the body cavity to eliminate negative pressure, the stab is pulled out, effortlessly. It is an extremely practical weapon for killing.

The pirate died, very simply.

His death was insignificant to the entire battle situation, because at this time, more than 200 sergeants of the Jiangning Army had already fought with thousands of pirates led by Yang Geng and the others.

At the beginning, Yang Geng thought that as long as the two sides came into contact, these Jiangning troops who could only shoot far away would inevitably collapse quickly, and they could tear a bloody way and rush out, but he soon realized that he was wrong.

These Jiang Ning troops are not the soft persimmons he thinks, these Jiang Ning troops are in groups of three people in hand-to-hand combat, three people stand back to back, and their firearms are immediately transformed into a terrifying killing weapon after putting on that sharp thing (three-edged bayonet).

And worst of all, most of his pirates were unarmoured, which meant that their opponents' bayonets could easily pierce their bodies. However, if a brother is stabbed by such a murder weapon, he will quickly lose his combat effectiveness, and the whole person will also bleed and then lose his life.

But this can't be blamed on Zheng Zhilong, looking at the whole world, after all, armor has always been the exclusive domain of the army, and I have never seen any sailors and navy let their sailors work on ships wearing a thick layer of armor.

Seeing the heavy casualties of his subordinates, Yang Geng, who was stunned, personally came on the field, holding a round shield in his left hand, and brandishing a ghost head knife in his right hand to slash at a Jiangning army sergeant in front of him, this sergeant flashed sideways, Yang Geng's attack was about to fail, and at this time, the companion on the side of the sergeant also raised the bayonet in his hand and stabbed him fiercely.

Yang Geng, who had just seen the attack mode of the Jiangning Army, raised the round shield in his left hand unhurriedly to block the opponent's bayonet, and as soon as the round shield and the bayonet came into contact, there was a crisp sound of "dang", and then Yang Geng took the opportunity to swing the ghost head knife and slashed at the body of the Jiangning Army sergeant like lightning.

But the expected feeling of the steel knife slashing into the human body did not come, but a dull metal impact sounded, and then the slashed sergeant also sat on the ground with a heavy butt.

"How did this happen, and you didn't get hacked to death?"

Yang Geng couldn't help but be taken aback, his ghost head knife was made by a famous artist, the whole knife was eight catties and eight taels, I dare not say that it is like clay, but it is easy to cut off a person's waist, which has been verified by him with no less than double-digit corpses in recent years, but today he ate a turtle.

"Is it because the knife is blunt?"

This was the first thought that sprung up in Yang Geng's heart, but then he immediately came to his senses, it turned out that it was not his ghost head knife that was dull, but because of the other party's armor.

"Jiang Ningjun's armor is so good?" There was a look of greed in Yang Geng's eyes.

These things are verbose with Yang Geng's mental activities, but in fact, they are just momentary things.

Before Yang Geng could recover from his surprise, the bayonets in the hands of the two sergeants next to him stabbed at him again, and because of the speed, there was still a whirring sound.

However, Yang Geng did not give it for nothing, the round shield in his left hand kept waving, blocking the attack of the two bayonets, and after seeing that the opponent's armor was strong, he immediately thought of a way to deal with this armor. During the fight, he used his round shield to block two consecutive stabs, and then pulled out a long-rod axe from his back and smashed it into the chest of a sergeant.

The fifteen-pound axe hit the opponent heavily, and with a muffled sound, the sergeant could no longer withstand the powerful blow, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the whole person fell to the ground heavily.

"Good...... Kill! ”

After knocking down a person, Yang Geng, who was encouraged, took up his own position again, and it took a while to smash the remaining two sergeants to the ground, and finally he turned his head to look around, and found that more than a thousand of his subordinates had been fighting with the Jiangning army, and the two sides were in a mess.

Hand-to-hand combat is the most brutal battle, and this kind of face-to-face combat is also the most test of the morale and courage of both warring parties, and personal bravery has become less important here. Just like Yang Geng, when he knocked down five Jiangning Army sergeants in a row, he only felt that his whole body began to be sore, and his right hand could barely swing the axe.

"No, you have to leave quickly, otherwise you won't be able to leave when the Ming army behind you comes over!"

Yang Geng, who realized this, immediately took dozens of henchmen to find Chen Hui and Zheng Cai, who were fighting, and the three of them secretly left the battlefield with more than 500 people who could be gathered......
