"Kill!!"
The brutal shouts of killing shook the valley.
The 1,500-strong navy led by Li Jin was besieged by thousands of Japanese pirates in a valley on Shengsi Island.
The east and west mountain ranges of Shengsi Island run across the entire island, but there are more hills and mountains in the southwest, especially after the sea breeze.
The mountains and rivers in the southwest are even more majestic.
It has to be said that the leader of the Japanese pirates chose an excellent location.
On this battlefield, the north and south are long and narrow, and the navy in Li Jin's hands cannot fully deploy its formation. This is very detrimental to the five-stage formation that Li Jin and the others usually use.
However, the Japanese pirates who charged down from high places were able to quickly rush in front of Li Jin's navy by virtue of their geographical advantages.
"Bang bang bang!"
Finally, after Li Jin lined up his navy, the first row of firecrackers started firing for the first time.
The Japanese pirates who were targeted and shot by the navy members fell to the ground, but more Japanese pirates rushed towards Li Jin with red eyes.
Some of them had seen the power of this weapon just on the coast.
But at that time, we were on the coast and the terrain was open. These people were able to quickly stagger their formations to achieve five-stage continuous shooting.
But this time, they were in a narrow valley. Although the Japanese pirates saw that these people were still arranged in five queues, they looked very intimidating.
However, the Japanese pirates felt that these people were just bluffing at this time, because it was impossible to maneuver in such a narrow terrain, let alone shoot alternately between the queues.
The Japanese pirates identified these people and could only fire this shot. Everyone rushed down desperately, and they were bound to kill these intruders.
Just when they were about to rush in front of these soldiers, the voice that frightened them unexpectedly sounded again.
"Bang bang bang!"
The Japanese pirates opened their eyes wide and looked at the soldiers shooting in front of them in disbelief. They didn't understand why these soldiers' firecrackers could fire continuously.
Is this still a firecracker?
But when they look carefully, they will find that this is a new type of five-stage shooting.
In the previous five-stage shooting, after the front row of soldiers finished shooting, they quickly retreated to the last row, and then the second row stepped forward to shoot until all five rows of troops had finished shooting.
However, under the current terrain restrictions, this method cannot be used. This is also the prerequisite for the Japanese pirates to dare to charge to the death.
But how could there be only one form of five-stage shooting? If there were really four types of missiles, how could Britain dominate the world with this array?
When the terrain cannot be used, there are naturally ways to solve it.
The best way is to shoot in five stages.
After the first row finishes shooting, they will quickly hand over the firecrackers to the soldiers in the back row.
The soldiers in the back row will hand over the loaded firecrackers in their hands to the front row.
The fired firecrackers will be quickly passed to the last row, and the loaded firecrackers will be passed to the first row, and so on.
The principle is the same as the five-stage shooting, but this time the alternation is not a queue, but a fire blunderbuss.
However, this method will definitely be much slower than the ordinary five-stage method. Therefore, the most commonly used five-stage method in the navy is to shoot in staggered formations.
Now forced by the situation, naval soldiers can only use this type of emergency plan.
Fortunately, they had trained hard before, and Li Jin had strict requirements for them no matter which shooting method they used.
Li Jin was surrounded by the soldiers, his eyes fixed on the surging Japanese pirates.
These Japanese pirates suddenly appeared and rushed within thirty steps in just a cup of tea.
Thousands of Japanese pirates seemed overwhelming and so menacing that if it weren't for the coach Li Jin to stabilize the morale of the troops, no matter how hard the navy trained, they would have collapsed at this moment.
After all, before these navy went to the battlefield, they were just a group of farmers. Although they usually made a living by fighting and robbing mines, how could they not be afraid when faced with the impact of thousands of people?
Li Jin concentrated on estimating the distance of the Japanese pirates' attack, and when the two armies were less than twenty steps apart, he decisively ordered:
"Mount your bayonets and prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"
"Hmph, it's not that I look down on you, you are good with firearms. If you didn't have firearms, you would have been torn to pieces by us."
Although the spy next to him was tied up, he immediately sneered after hearing Li Jin's order.
As a Japanese pirate who traveled all over the world, he naturally looked down on these new recruits.
Judging from his gaze, these people were clearly Xinguadanzi. From the moment the ambush appeared, the spies could tell a lot.
If it weren't for the man in front of him who was forcibly stabilizing the morale of the army, the army at this time would have fled in all directions.
"Palm mouth!!"
Li Jin said coldly.
"you..."
"Bah bang bang!!"
The spy wanted to say more, but was interrupted by a slap in the face from the two personal guards behind him.
The words were not spoken, but the spy's eyes were vicious and vicious, staring at Li Jin's side face, as if he had a blood feud with Li Jin.
Li Jin ignored this man, thinking that the Japanese pirates had rushed forward in the blink of an eye.
"Bang bang bang!"
Although the soldiers in the front row released the firecrackers again, they did not scare away the Japanese pirates.
I saw all these Japanese pirates with red eyes, rushing towards Li Jin. Under the constant pressure of the Japanese pirate leader behind, these Japanese pirates seemed to have forgotten their fear and rushed forward desperately.
"prick!"
Li Jin roared suddenly when he saw that the distance between the two sides was within ten steps.
The gunners in the front row immediately turned sideways to make way for the marines in the second row who had already fixed their bayonets.
The soldiers in the second row were roaring, holding fire guns about two meters away, like tigers emerging from their cages, and roared at the swarming Japanese pirates.
"kill!"
The muskets with bayonets inserted, like spears, formed a neat array of spears and stabbed the Japanese pirates in front crazily.
The Japanese pirates who originally rushed forward still had a ferocious smile on their faces. After all, in their view, long-range soldiers were absolutely weak in close combat.
These people will only fire cold guns from a distance. As long as they rush in front of them, they will definitely tear this group of enemies to pieces.
Unfortunately, before the ferocious smiles on their faces dissipated, they encountered the navy charging with bayonets.
The Japanese pirates who can rush to the front row are naturally fierce bandits with many years of experience. After living for such a long time, their skills are certainly not bad.
Seeing the bayonet stabbing in front of his eyes, he quickly turned sideways to avoid it.
It's a pity that if you escape the first grade of junior high school, you can't escape the fifteenth grade.
In front of the rigorously trained spear array, individual bravery is a complete joke, because the spear array's assassination is simply killing without blind spots.
Even if one bayonet is escaped, there are still ten or twenty bayonets waiting for these Japanese pirates.
As the navy lined up neatly with bayonets in hand and took the initiative to attack, the situation on the field changed again.
At first, the Japanese pirates rushed forward with all their might. After all, as long as they crossed the shooting range of the fire gun soldiers, these fire gun soldiers were like lambs to be slaughtered and were vulnerable to a single blow.
But the facts shattered their imaginations. They did not expect that these firecrackers, even if they did not fire guns and held bayonets, were no weaker than firecrackers, and their killing efficiency was increased countless times.
When 1,500 naval soldiers gave up long-range attacks and took out the bayonets on their waists, it meant that 1,500 executioners were officially on the line.
Although the Japanese pirates were numerous and powerful, their wars always relied on individual bravery.
But in front of the majestic formation, personal bravery seems so pale and weak.
Countless Japanese pirates came forward one after another, either holding Japanese knives or spears, and showed their teeth and claws in front of the navy.
But facing them, the navy had only one simple move: stab!
Stab forward, stab up, stab down!
There are bayonets everywhere, and a Japanese pirate often faces the assassination of several or even dozens of bayonets.
It's like the Japanese pirates are the smaller ones.
This is the power of the battle formation, Marshal Qi once said.
In the majestic formation, thousands of people lined up to advance. The brave were not allowed to go first, and the timid were not allowed to fall behind. The spears poked him, the spears poked him away, rocks came and he was chopped and killed indiscriminately. It's just that they are all rushing in together, and it's difficult to change hands, so how can they allow them to move left and right?
Marshal Qi's meaning is very simple. There are not so many fancy tricks in the battle formation. You advance and retreat at the same time. No matter how reincarnated your overlord is, you will be helpless in front of the battle formation.
