Daming pirates

Li Dazui held a Yanling sword and used it as a command sword. He stood on one side of the phalanx and shouted: "Musketeers, prepare!"

The musketeers immediately removed the flintlock muskets from their shoulders, placed the butts on the ground, quickly began to take out the ammunition from the leather boxes on their waists, and began to load the muskets.

Everything was carried out in accordance with their original training procedures. Soon the musketeers finished loading the flintlocks in their hands, held them up with both hands, and pointed their muzzles upward, forming three rows.

The three-stage shooting method of muskets is not a mysterious thing. The little devils knew how to use this method to maintain the continuous firepower of the muskets. Naturally, there were experts in the Ming Dynasty who came up with such a method.

However, the musket equipment of the Ming army was not very high. The muskets were only gradually equipped with large quantities of muskets in the Ming army after they won the Korean War and defeated the Japanese during the Wanli period. However, the number of muskets in the south was not very large.

, because of the rainy and humid climate in the south, the fire rate of bird muskets is low, and the accident rate of barrel explosion remains high, so the officers and soldiers do not like this kind of thing.

There are also a considerable proportion of archers in the official army, who use bows and crossbows to fight. Today, there are dozens of archers among the guards of Chongwu Station, holding bows and arrows in front of the team.

After Mr. Qian, surnamed Bai, saw the formation of Sea Wolf's soldiers, he suddenly felt angry. He secretly cursed in his heart that these were just a bunch of pirates! They were simply an elite army, probably the most elite in Fujian.

The officers and soldiers coming over may not be able to suppress the momentum of these pirates.

People deserve to be compared with each other, and goods deserve to be compared. After looking at the queue of Sea Wolf soldiers, he glanced at the group of guards he had brought out behind him, and suddenly felt discouraged. There was no way to fight this battle! Now he

Thinking about it with his toes, he knew that he would never be able to defeat these pirates today.

Yu Hailang didn't know how he could train his pirates to look like this. Although there were not many fat people in this group of pirates, and they all had the same dark skin, their faces were normal, and none of them had the same complexion.

Their faces were disheveled, and their faces were all shiny. If they didn’t eat well enough, how could they be so strong?

And the guardsmen behind him were all sallow, skinny, and as dirty as beggars, which made President Bai Qian less confident than himself.

But he had no choice but to pack up his clothes and leave now, and run back to the Acropolis to hide! If that happened, someone would definitely sue him later, and he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet, roaring fiercely, and ordered the officers and soldiers behind him to continue to advance forward. The archers were ready to fire arrows.

Li Dazui curled his mouth and fork with a look of disdain on his face. He brought two hundred soldiers here today just to control the dock and prevent the officers and soldiers from Chongwu Station from coming out to stop them.

But after looking at the guardsmen of Chongwu Institute, he personally felt that this battle should be too easy to win, so he curled his mouth, took two steps forward, turned around and shouted at his men: "

I’m giving you a chance today to show off your performance, all of you, guns on your shoulders! The phalanx formation remains unchanged, move forward!”

On the right side of the team, there was immediately a squad leader with a bamboo whistle in his mouth. He blew the bamboo whistle. First, a longer whistle sounded. All the soldiers immediately put their weapons on their shoulders and got ready to set off.

Prepare.

Immediately afterwards, the whistle blowing team leader began to blow the bamboo whistle high and low, and the rhythm was controlled at about 120 times a minute.

When they heard the whistle sound, the Sea Wolf soldiers immediately began to take steps forward, and each step followed the whistle and began to move forward. However, all the soldiers in the entire phalanx did not cause confusion because of this.

Everyone's pace remains consistent, and they maintain a horizontal formation based on the left side and a vertical formation to avoid confusion.

Even the gunners of the twenty Crouching Tiger Cannons who were just on the left side of the team also raised their Crouching Tiger Cannons at the same time and moved forward with the team.

The entire phalanx was like a movable wall, advancing forward in unison.

Regarding the formation training of Sea Wolf soldiers, Yu Xiaotian borrowed methods from Western armies. Originally, he wanted to get a drum and set up a full-time drummer to control the marching speed of the army. He even wanted to get a bagpipe, but after thinking about it, he felt that

It's a ridiculous idea. Even if he got bagpipes, no one would be able to play them.

Later, he considered that the marching drum occupied the establishment and that drummers needed to be specially trained, so he was lazy. Thinking that military training queues in later generations would all use whistles, he simply replaced the marching drum with a bamboo whistle.

So now when soldiers are marching and marching in formation, there are dedicated people responsible for blowing whistles to control the formation and the speed of marching.

When the Sea Wolf's phalanx began to move forward, the official army was immediately confused because this group of pirates really surprised them. They said they should be considered regular troops, but with this group of pirates

When the pirates compared it, it turned out that they looked like thieves, and their momentum was completely suppressed by the Sea Wolf soldiers.

Moreover, when the phalanx of Sea Wolf warriors marched, they were pushed forward like a mountain, which immediately caused great psychological pressure on the officers and soldiers, and they couldn't help but become a little confused.

President Bai Qian also felt very nervous, so he quickly suppressed his soldiers and ordered them not to move where they were. Anyone who retreated from the battle would be killed! This way he stabilized the formation of his team to some extent.

Dozens of archers were ordered to step forward to set up arrows and prepare to launch. However, the archers in these guards usually have very limited training. They mostly have to work to fill their stomachs. The time of farming is far longer than the time of training. One month.

Sometimes they may not even be able to have sex, so expecting them to have good shooting skills is definitely hopeless.

In addition, because of the lack of training, the bows used by archers are basically light bows, and they also use light arrows. It seems that the shooting is not close, but the penetrating power of the arrows is very poor, and even leather armor cannot be used from dozens of meters away.

Effective penetration, this is something Bai Qian and his archers know very well.

There are only a few soldiers under Mr. Bai Qian. Because they are retired professional soldiers, they still have some real skills in their hands. Two of them are good at using bows, and the rest of the archers are basically just good at shooting.

Amidst the sound of bamboo whistles, the Sea Wolf formation slowly advanced forward. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. When the distance between the two sides narrowed to about sixty steps, President Bai Qian couldn't bear it anymore.

Take the pressure off.

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow quickly! Don't let them get close!" Mr. Bai Qian's palms were sweating all the time. He involuntarily shrank into the crowd and shouted loudly in the formation.

Dozens of archers could no longer withstand the pressure at this time. They all wanted to start shooting arrows, but at least they had rules. If the general did not give the order, if someone fired arrows without permission, he would definitely be punished. When he heard

After Mr. Bai Qian shouted and fired arrows.

The dozens of archers didn't dare to wait any longer. They hurriedly stretched their fingers on the string, and began to pull the bow string with a squeaking sound. They raised their arms and gritted their teeth to loosen the bow string.

There was just a booming sound of the bowstring, and then a shower of arrows was sprinkled towards the Sea Wolf soldiers. Because the distance was still about sixty steps, the bows and arrows could not be aimed directly and could only be fired by throwing them.

Launch, so the accuracy will definitely not be better.

Dozens of arrows floated towards the Sea Wolf's queue. The pupils of the soldiers walking in the front suddenly shrank. They looked at the arrows in the sky and fell towards them, and their mood suddenly became tense.

However, no one swayed or stopped because of this. All the soldiers continued to march forward according to the sound of the bamboo whistle.

Li Dazui was also observing the performance of his men. When he saw this scene, he was quite satisfied with the performance of his men, so he shouted loudly: "Stop!"

The bamboo whistle suddenly stopped immediately after he gave the order.

All the soldiers immediately stopped and continued to stand neatly in the queue with their chests and belly raised.

The bows and arrows from the sky fell down in a whoosh, and fell into the crowd of Sea Wolf's soldiers. A few soldiers made a muffled sound, and two soldiers fell to the ground with a miserable groan.

But the other soldiers didn't look sideways, remained unmoved, and continued to maintain their formation. This made Li Dazui very satisfied, and he nodded secretly.

The training of sea wolf warriors is quite strict. As long as they are in formation before the battle, no one is allowed to make any small movements in the formation, because whether they are marching or in formation, if they are attacked by the enemy

, if someone moves without permission, it will affect a large area, and the formation and marching rhythm will be broken immediately.

Therefore, the Sea Wolf soldiers are required to act in accordance with the order no matter what the situation is. Even if a cannonball flies in front of their eyes, they must stare at the cannonball flying over and not make any dodge. Otherwise, even if it is

If they were not killed on the spot, they would be prosecuted by military law if they came down afterwards.

For this reason, when the Sea Wolf soldiers were training, in order to solve the problem of someone involuntarily trying to avoid and disrupting the team formation during the battle, Meng Fei, Li Dazui and others thought of ways to do it. First they hit with sticks and military sticks, and then Meng Fei

The fellow came up with a way to equip these soldiers with rattan helmets, and then let a large group of people stand in front of them and throw rocks at them while they were marching or in formation.

As long as someone dodges in the queue, he will be immediately pulled out and beaten with military sticks in public. In this way, after a long period of training, these guys were completely suppressed, so that they are now in trouble.

Don't dare to move.

Today, the officers and soldiers fired arrows first. Although these arrows fell into the crowd of Sea Wolf soldiers, the actual damage to the Sea Wolf soldiers was very limited. They used light arrows with small kinetic energy. After the parabola fell, it penetrated

The force was already very small, so when it fell into the formation of the Sea Wolf Soldiers, it did not cause much damage to the Sea Wolf Soldiers.

Many people were only hit by arrows in their shoulders or various parts of the body, but the injuries were very minor. The two who fell were just unlucky. One was shot in the head. The rattan helmet could not block the arrow cluster, and there was a gash in his scalp. The other was more unlucky.

Unluckily, the arrow hit his face, so he fell to the ground with a scream.

Soon there were rescuers in the team dragging him down, but the Sea Wolf queue also stopped advancing under Li Dazui's order. The sword player stepped out of the queue in response, reached the front of the queue, knelt down and raised his shield.

, forming a shield wall as high as half a man, and behind them were the Sea Wolf's musketeers.
