Yang Fan's pirate ship is surrounded by a roller-type barbed wire fence. If others want to jump onto their ship, they will be caught. When they want to jump onto other people's ships, they will raise the barbed wire fence.
Therefore, only when it is advantageous for them to jump into other people's boats.
They bullied people to the point where they scolded their opponents in anger.
Yang Fan's pirate ships are not equipped with clippers, but are all Western-style Galen ships with efficient Junk sails (Chinese hard sails). This kind of ship is called an old lock ship in the southeast, commonly known as a duck-butt ship, and its speed
Very fast.
The Fu Chuan, Guang Chuan and Sha Chuan smuggled by the southeastern gentry were all no match.
Firearms are not an opponent, training is not an opponent, armor is not an opponent, and cold weapons are not an opponent.
They couldn't fight again and again, couldn't run anymore, and were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
Going to sea used to be a huge profit, but now at least a third of it is lost.
They are constantly putting pressure on Zheng Zhilong, who has already been recruited, and asking the Zheng family's navy to clean up the pirates in the East China Sea. They are so arrogant.
Now in the East China Sea, if ten ships go out to sea, at least three of them will be robbed.
This is due to the limited number of pirate ships.
If Yang Fan's fleet joins in the robbery, I am afraid that most of the sea ships will be wiped out and plundered. The efficiency of the clipper warships is simply invincible when used for robbery.
Therefore, once they succeed in jumping into a gang, they will immediately launch a triangle formation and fire a wave of flintlock lead bullets first. Then, they will pick up their bayonets and one person will lead the attack, while the other two will be half a body behind to cooperate.
The bayonet saw red, the knife saw flesh, beating the opponent to pieces.
The spear array in the front row surged forward, and the Hoshuotes were stabbed to death one after another. Their scimitars were useless. With such a dense array of spears, it was impossible to block them.
Even if one spearhead is blocked, several spearheads will stab him in an instant.
And their weakness of not wearing armor is infinitely magnified.
In a decisive battle with cold weapons, unarmored soldiers cannot defeat heavily armored soldiers.
This trio of skinny pirates became more and more courageous as they fought with bayonets in hand.
They even started running in groups of three among the crowd.
Rampage. Chasing and stabbing Shuote people.
The Heshuote people just want to scold their mothers at this time.
These dwarves are all wearing European-style plate armor. They are so thin and small, and at this weight, they should have difficulty moving.
However, they are extremely strong and can jump like flying.
Because this is steel, not iron, it does not need to be too thick. Plate armor does not have the part covered by stacked armor pieces, saving one-third of the weight of the armor.
The Hoshuotes hacked them with scimitars from close range and shot them with bows and arrows from a distance. However, they were basically defended by plate armor.
The cheapest stainless steel bucket helmet and non-tailor-made plate armor distributed according to size are still very effective.
The reason why stainless steel is used is because the sea salt spray is too strong and corrodes too quickly.
The triangular squads inside were running rampant, and the spear formations in front came overwhelmingly.
As row after row of people were stabbed to death, the fifteen hundred Heshuote people at the front collapsed instantly.
After they killed and wounded seven to eight hundred people, they were completely unable to bear it any longer.
With a bang, they ran away in all directions.
Erlunqi was mentally prepared for their collapse, because as soon as the fight started, he was beaten and suppressed. He waved his whip, signaling the cavalry to continue the attack. Then the cavalry behind them rushed up.
There were more than 3,000 cavalrymen, and they immediately charged forward.
The sharp scimitar emits a dazzling light under the firelight.
The five hundred musketeers also suffered seventy or eighty casualties, mainly arrow wounds in the legs.
After all, they are infantry and can only use skirts for their legs, not plate armor. They need to maneuver and march.
In addition, being hit by heavy weapons also caused some damage.
Maces and hammers are weapons customarily used by the Mongols, and horse clubs with iron caltrop heads also have considerable striking power.
After the cavalry came up, the musketeers turned around and fired. A good man will not suffer the immediate loss.
Using a bayonet to stab a war horse shows you are mentally ill.
The spear array rushed towards the cavalry, creating several retreat channels to cover their retreat.
One thousand spearmen faced more than 3,000 cavalry, and there were only one thousand spearmen.
Like mercury pouring down the ground, the musketeers quickly fled back through the several passages made by the spearmen.
E Lunqi has been found and helped onto the war horse.
He was very angry because he had lost face today.
"Hack some dwarfs to death, then step over them. Use a lasso to lasso them, drag them out of the array, and use horse hooves to trample these heavily armored soldiers to death." E Lunqi roared angrily.
The Mongols' most accustomed method of fighting against the European tin cans was to trigger the cavalry, lasso them, drag them off their horses, and trample them to death with horse hooves.
Even the sturdy plate armor cannot withstand the trampling of a five to six hundred pound war horse.
All of them will be trampled, their bones will be broken, their internal organs will be broken, and they will vomit blood and die.
Before he finished speaking, intensive gunshots suddenly came from the directions on both sides.
A large number of musketeers and spearmen on both sides surrounded them. The timing was just right.
These people were the same troops who were sent out to outflank the enemy at the beginning of the war.
Bang bang bang! Five hundred muskets fired on each side.
In the dark night, two rows of fire lines were shining with light.
On both sides of the cavalry group, people fell on their backs, and hundreds of people were shot down and dismounted.
After firing the lead bullets in the gun barrels, these people began to load ammunition on the spot, and the musketeer battalion that ran back before was also loading the next round of ammunition behind the spearmen's array.
Erlunqi watched in horror as a large number of infantrymen emerged from the darkness on both sides again.
He roughly estimated that there were more than 3,000 people. This surprised him.
The previous judgment was wrong. These pirates were not three thousand, but at least five thousand.
Obviously, the previous Heshuote scouts did not find the auxiliary soldiers. Or they did not take these people wearing civilian clothes and doing chores seriously. They did not count them as soldiers.
After all, the Mongols also brought a large number of slaves with them when they went to war. These people were responsible for serving them and their horses. They were responsible for doing chores, setting up camp, cutting wood, setting up tents, cooking, washing clothes, making siege weapons, and being driven to fill in the siege.
Moat.
The Mongols never considered them soldiers, and they had no fighting ability.
But these militiamen are different. In addition to working, they can also fight. He came here based on military merit. In Yang Fan's system, military merit is the most promising way to rise in class.
But now, these people put on the cotton armor they bought, with leather armor on the outside and re-woven pierced armor on the outermost layer. They were carrying spears in their hands and attacked from both sides.
The Heshuote cavalry suddenly panicked. The cavalry were most afraid of being surrounded, because once they were surrounded, they would have space to run and dodge.
Once the cavalry cannot maneuver, it becomes a living target for the infantry, especially the pikemen and pikemen.
