Chapter 254: Hand-to-hand combat

The fire commanders in the front row quickly dispersed from both sides, and the fire soldiers in the second row stood in place and pulled the trigger against the Qing soldiers who rushed in. Yang Tong, the general who was standing behind the three platoons of pikemen, saw a javelin coming towards him, and hurriedly flashed. A guard beside him was knocked off his helmet by an iron bone that suddenly came, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

The arrays on both sides are a little sparse. Don't think much about it. Yang Tong shouted: "Raise the gun!" ”

"Kill!"

Immediately, the surviving pikemen in the third platoon reflexively stood sideways with their guns in their hands, and shouted loudly.

The pikemen of the Shunxiang Army practice one move every day, stab! Two steps, the first step, raise the gun, and the second step, thrust. They practice these two actions repeatedly every day, from the time they formed the army to the present, they don't know how many times they have raised their guns, how many times they have stabbed them thousands of times, and they are so familiar that they can no longer be cooked, even in their sleep, they can subconsciously do the standard to the extreme.

Their spears can pierce armor in melee combat, not the red tassel spear in the impression, but the spearhead is very long. Such as a thing. Very sharp awl. The rows of stern sergeants stood with their guns up, which was very shocking.

"Thorn!"

"Kill!"

In the blink of an eye, the Qing army rushed to the front of the formation. The Shunxiang soldiers were red-eyed. Dozens of spears in the front row stabbed out with great force. ** Loud noises and screams that stabbed everyone rang out.

In the shields and swords of the Qing soldiers, these pikemen do not dodge, and their usual practice is better than anyone's eyesight and speed. Stab them to death before they slash them with their weapons. It's about who is slow and who dies first.

In terms of quick eyes and hands, the sergeants who have practiced in Shunxiang Fort, many of them can stab the target in key positions such as the eye, the corner of the mouth, and the heart and mouth by sprinting dozens of steps away.

For those sword and shield soldiers of the Qing army, they either jumped cards, or rolled to the ground, or flashed cards. The spears of the Shunxiang army did not pay attention to the soldiers, their eyesight was excellent, the spears were as fast as lightning, and they saw the lack of the Qing army, so they raised their guns and stabbed. These Qing army spearmen raised their spears and halberds, lined up one by one, gritting their teeth and slowly pressing.

At the same time, the three platoons of pikemen of the Shunxiang Army were also slowly pressing, and the two sides stared at each other viciously, and their spears were getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, they shouted, and stabbed desperately with their spears. Screams from both sides rang out one after another. The sound of spears entering the flesh continued. This kind of battle in formation, spears stabbing each other, there is no room to dodge at all, except to desperately stab the other party, there is no other way out.

Both sides were heavily armoured and well-protected, but the spears stabbed each other, and there was no armor at all to prevent the opposing armor-piercing spear from piercing into their bodies.

Such an exchange of fire was very brutal, and after the two sides desperately stabbed each other for a while, in the blink of an eye, the spearmen in the front rows of both sides fell in large pieces.

The blood of these corpses or wounded came out, and the heat was emitting on the cold winter ground. Seeing such a cruel situation, many people on the side of the Qing army showed a look of hesitation and fear, and there were so many casualties at once, this is really "

And fighting in such a formation, a body of martial arts can't be displayed, except for stabbing can only be stabbed, even if he dies, it is extremely dull and unknown. You can't even play with a gun. Also, why is the Ming army on the opposite side so not afraid of death? It stands to reason that such a brutal fight. Those Ming armies should collapse on the spot. Why are they coming up to fight again?

Seeing the silent and brutal battle scene in front of him, the muscles on Yang Tong's face couldn't help shaking, the first wave of spearmen fought against each other, and he always suffered too many casualties among the spearmen. There are more than forty people on the front floor. More than 20 people were killed in the battle at once, and the rest were all wounded, and most of them were damaged.

He bit his lower lip and waved his hand, and the drum beat again, and immediately the spearmen in the front row stepped back and lined up in the second row. Looking at the Qing army gunmen on the opposite side, they also retreated in the front row. Replaced with a new force in the second row. Both sides gritted their teeth, holding their spears and slowly approaching.
