The more critical the moment of this kind of engagement, the more it can reflect whether a fighter is elite or not.

When I heard the captains and captains shouting: "Prepare for battle!" Compared with the apprehension of the artillery bombardment, when the artillery fire gradually subsided, and they were about to enter the more familiar hand-to-hand combat, their rapidly beating hearts quickly regained their composure, carefully sorting out the dust on their bodies and the weapons and bows in their hands.

The soldiers of the Public Security Bureau, compared with the soldiers of the coalition forces, are not a few points behind, but in the past few years, they have maintained law and order in Bengang and used their brains to solve all kinds of cases, but they have less tempering to face them head-on, but it does not prevent them from recalling the familiar memories of fighting at sea.

There were still only the soldiers of the defense force, still trembling and hiding in the corners and between the walls, not in a daze, so that many coalition soldiers and soldiers of the Security Bureau who passed by them looked at each other coldly, and the meaning of ridicule was self-evident.

"Forward!!"

On the docks, more than 500 heavily armed Dutch sailors were soon assembled, and they were nervously arranging the offensive formation until Captain Vincent and others gave the order to march.

Rows of Dutch soldiers, lined up in a zigzag pattern, stepped into unison on the bombed and shapeless Bengang dock under the command of the order, and slowly pressed forward.

"What's the matter, are you on it now?" The western residential area closest to the dock area is now in ruins, and An Xianguo, Lahook and Wu Hu, who are hiding in it, gather together, looking at the Dutch soldiers who are obviously in contact with them, such as pirates and natives, and other opponents, everyone can't make up their minds whether they should take advantage of the opportunity of the other party's unstable foothold to fight them back.

Chengcai and Yang Zhi's R&D institute has not stopped the research and development of muskets in recent years, but in fact, there are still few arquebuses in the entire Hongtang that are so hot weapons. When the Dutch sailors were holding arquebuses and pressing into the residential area in three columns, Wu Hu and the others were a little confused about this very unfamiliar tactic.

Although compared to the cold weapons such as knives, guns and clubs, the power of the arquebus within a hundred steps is incomparable, but it takes at least a dozen breaths to reload the ammunition after firing the ammunition each time, which is also the reason why the Hongtang soldiers do not like to use arquebuses.

If there was such time, they would have already run in front of the enemy and slashed their knives and spears at each other's bodies.

"Rush!!"

After summing it up, seeing that the other party was only forty or fifty steps away from the residential area where he was hiding, for Hong Tang and the indigenous warriors, it was only four or five breaths to rush to the other party!!

As soon as the order was given, more than 300 indigenous warriors and more than 100 soldiers of the Public Security Bureau who were prostrate on the ground jumped up from their hiding places one after another, and rushed towards the foreign-haired devils in front of them with their blood in their blood. "Screaming, imposing.

Immediately after, hundreds of soldiers of the defense team, forgetting the coordination and array of the usual training, staggered and rushed out behind the native warriors.

The Dutch in front of him were not frightened by the sudden jump out, the tattooed natives and Hongtang soldiers, but under the command of a commanding non-commissioned officer holding a thin sword, the first column of more than 100 soldiers stepped forward, and then squatted down, picked up the spear in his hand, and ignited the fuse behind the spear unhurriedly.

"Fire!!"

"Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang! ”

A series of sounds like firecrackers exploded, breaking the formation of the indigenous warriors who rushed to the front into a sieve, and no less than thirty indigenous warriors and Hongtang soldiers fell to the ground in this round of shooting.

However, the indigenous warriors and Hongtang soldiers were not frightened by this round of ferocious bullets, but after narrowly dodging this round of gunfire, they accelerated and continued to rush forward bravely, in order to cheer themselves up, the roar in their mouths became more and more hideous.

"The first row is back, the second row is ready!"

The Dutch soldiers, who had just finished shooting, got up, turned their heads, and walked around the soldiers behind them, to the back of the line, exposing the soldiers behind them.

The scene in front of them made the hearts of the native warriors and Hongtang soldiers begin to sink, and the second column of more than a hundred Dutch sailors had already raised their spears, ignited the fuse, and aimed at them as they rushed forward.

"Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang! ”

Another round of ferocious musket fire, and many of the indigenous warriors and Hongtang soldiers fell on the way to the charge.

It should be said that although Hongtang is not equipped with arquebuses, the officers and soldiers of Hongtang also know a lot about the use and avoidance of arquebuses, and they have also studied them. When the Dutch opened fire and aimed, many quick reflexes Hong Tang and the indigenous warriors made a lot of evasive moves, suddenly turning, bending down and bowing their heads, etc., etc., but in the face of a distance of only a dozen zhang, it still did not play a big role.

And when the Dutch soldiers in the second column continued to retreat, revealing the actions of the Dutch soldiers in the third column raising their guns and aiming, many Hongtang and indigenous soldiers were heartbroken.

Is this still over, let's talk about the defect of the arquebus's slow loading of ammunition, and talk about the melee combat basically only gives the opponent a chance to shoot one round!

However, on the battlefield, emotions such as regret and collapse only flashed in the hearts of the heroic natives and Hongtang warriors, who were convinced that as long as they rushed in front of each other, then it was time for them to win the battle.

"Bang! Bang! Bang bang! ”

However, the situation on the battlefield was not subject to the will of one party, and it was clear that the Dutch were sure that they would dare to attack Bengang, a town of more than 50,000 people, with a few hundred soldiers, and they also had strong confidence.

The three columns of Dutch soldiers, firing their guns, retreated in an orderly manner, and the arquebuses in their hands never stopped from beginning to end.

The distance of more than ten zhang, as if it is a moat, is separated between the Bengang and the Dutch, and the ground along the way is full of the blood of the Bengang soldiers who have been beaten into a sieve, and the natives and the soldiers of the Public Security Bureau who charge up, only a few people are crawling behind the ruins or walls, and they have long lost the ability to continue to charge.

As for the villagers of the defense team, they had already turned into a group of shrunken turtles under the second round of musket blows, scattered behind the surrounding walls, and did not dare to come out.
