Protracted Infantry Close-Combat in the ECW: Possible?

[Whirlwind]

I played out an imaginary ECW battle this morning  (http://hereticalgaming.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/a-small-ecw-battle.html) using the ‘Pike and Shot’-era rules from Neil Thomas’ Wargaming: An Introduction.  As it happened, there were quite a few protracted close combats in the game, including two infantry close combats as one side attacked over a stream into a village.  Did this happen in the real ECW or would infantry hand-to-hand combat, even in built-up areas, tend to be quite short?
