Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
The Ming army's bird guns were all equipped with bayonets.
The total length of the Rumi gun including the bayonet is nearly six feet (two meters), while the waist knife in the hands of the chieftain soldiers is only three feet (one meter) long.
On the battlefield, an inch longer is an inch stronger.
The five hundred musket soldiers faced encirclement by enemies that outnumbered them by several times their number, but they did not lose the upper hand.
"kill!"
Every time the word "kill" was shouted, the Ming army would swing their guns and stab in unison.
After stabbing several times, he managed to force the chieftain's soldiers to retreat.
Chen Changming began to sweat on his back. It was not until this moment that he realized that his plan was simply not feasible.

"If I tell you to use it, then use it."
"I'm sorry, but I can't obey your order!" The soldiers gritted their teeth and continued to disobey the order.
They have relatives, clansmen, even fathers and brothers below them, how could they kill each other?
"You guys..." Sha Dingzhou wanted to get angry, but quickly calmed down.
He would also disobey if it were him.
Sha Dingzhou looked up at the sun in the sky.
At this time, the sun was at its zenith, and two hours had passed since the troops were dispatched.
He first glared at the Ming army in the distance for a while, then said to the soldiers around him: "You guys hold on first, I'll go to the back to get reinforcements!"
