040 The fate of prisoners of war

Baron Jamai looked at him calmly with one hand and gently rested on the knight's sword that had just been issued, looking at the small noble coalition soldiers with hundreds of people on the opposite side.

At this moment, Baron Jamai couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity, these noble reinforcements in front of him were obviously brought by him with great effort, but now he was going to fight them, and most importantly, at this time, there were only more than 40 'pawns' under his hands who had just experienced a defeat!

After Baron Jamai fell out of the fact that he would die if he did not surrender, except for the two stupid forks who had brains and had to be 'loyal' and were hacked to death if they did not surrender, the rest of them joined the vanguard cannon fodder team led by Baron Jamai very sensibly.

Yes, the vanguard cannon fodder team is the ironic title that Baron Jamai gave to his troops, although he was ready to be regarded as a soldier on the front line by the rebel lord who called himself Shu Zifeng, but when he really stood in front of hundreds of people, Baron Jamai still couldn't help but feel deep remorse in his heart.

He didn't hate Shu Zifeng's arrangement and unkindness to him, this kind of treasonous war was different from the civil war between the nobles, and it was normal for the nobles who lost the treasonous war to be uprooted.

Baron Jamaica was only annoyed that he had not inquired about the true strength of Grand Duke Yaroslav in advance, and if he had known that in addition to Grand Duke Yaroslav's direct troops, there was such a strong friendly army as Shu Zifeng, he would not have been so eager to set up a banner and stand on the side of Moscow.

Even at the risk of being suspicious of Moscow after the war, it is better than losing now and even taking yourself into it......

"Hey, at least I'm not dead, there's still a chance, I hope the one behind can have a trace of love and talent, and won't watch me being consumed alive in the crowd."

Baron Jamai drew his knight's sword, raised his knight's shield, and shouted to the more than 40 pioneer cannon fodder teammates around him: "Behind us are rows of muskets, and in front of us are enemies who regard us as traitors, if we want to live, we only have one chance, disrupt the enemy formation on the opposite side, and hold on until the 'friendly army' kills us!"

I think you all know in your hearts the punishment of the nobles for traitors, and there is still a chance to fight for the new master, if you have a fluke mentality, you will only harm others and yourself!

In order to live, kill me !! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

These prisoners of war had been told by Shu Zifeng's men that this battle was their only chance to get out of captivity, and that if they won, they would regain their freedom.

Although some of these prisoners of war doubted the sincerity of the other party, they had no other choice, even if they had weapons in their hands, they could not make waves in the face of a hundred arquebuses, not to mention the hundreds of conscripted militiamen around.

Shu Zifeng's people had already told these prisoners of war that if they disobeyed the military order a little, they would die.

The leader of the last hundreds of foot soldiers was a viscount, and he was also the commander elected by the nobles of the support army, and it was precisely because of this viscount that Baron Jamai was able to attract so many small nobles to unite against Shu Zifeng.

This 'rebellious' viscount, who was originally subordinate to Grand Duke Yaroslav, decisively chose to continue the offensive after seeing the strength of Shu Zifeng after annihilating Baron Jamai and the vanguard of the noble cavalry he sent.

Because the viscount found that the soldiers on the other side were in a mess of equipment, and the most elite musketeers were wearing dead body armor that had just been ripped off and had not even been wiped clean with blood, and the vast majority of the soldiers were only conscription militiamen with logging axes and wooden poles and spears.

On the other hand, the coalition of minor nobles led by the viscount, including samurai from professional mercenaries, wearing full-body chain mail and holding heavy swords and large shields, as well as the family guards contributed by various minor nobles, almost everyone has a set of nail armor smocks, which is no different from the elite equipment of the regular army of Muscovy.

This time, the coalition of the little nobles went out to try to completely exterminate the accomplice of the rebellion of the Grand Duke Yaroslav who dared to take the initiative, so the proportion of conscripted peasant soldiers brought by the coalition of small nobles was not high, and the conscripted peasant soldiers brought by them were all 'old peasant soldiers' who had participated in the battle and a small number of hunters.

Civil wars between nobles can often be seen Orion, because Orion's commission is much lower than that of regular mercenaries, and if they die in battle, they can rely on the agreed commission without any scruples......

The hunters who are willing to fight for the lords and nobles are all poor ghosts, and no one will do justice for them after they die.

Of course, the most important thing is that the hunters are all men who have seen blood, and they can fight and shoot arrows better than the peasant uncles who are in the fields all year round!

Professional mercenaries, hunters, noble foot guards, foot heavy-armored servants, conscripted old peasant soldiers, and even a few foot cadet knights!

This is the composition of the hundreds of infantry troops under the command of the viscount, and it is also the confidence that he dares to open a battle with Shu Zifeng's troops when the cavalry team is completely wiped out.

In fact, if it weren't for the mistakes in the coordination of these aristocratic coalition forces and the ambush of Baron Jamai, with the strength they gathered, it would be enough to swallow Shu Zifeng, a motley army with a lot of numbers but weak components, but unfortunately, war is never a comparison of bright data, and the backward communication and army coordination in this era are even more difficult to play accurate tactical coordination in later generations.

As a result, the originally designed Jamai Baron ambush disrupted Shu Zifeng's military formation, and the aristocratic coalition took the opportunity to give a fatal blow to the battle plan, which became the first Jamai Baron to deliver food, and the noble cavalry hurried to hurry up and then deliver the food......

The Viscount of the Noble Alliance watched with contempt as the more than forty people led by the traitor Baron Jamai launched a suicidal charge, and the nearly 100 Orion archers who followed behind them and looked like rats shot arrows as they advanced.

To deal with such vanguard cannon fodder, the viscount's response was very simple, the few arquebusiers in the aristocratic coalition stood in a row in front, and waited for the Jamaitic Baron to raise his shield and lead the people to rush within 50 meters, and then violently sprayed a row of projectiles.

Not surprisingly, Baron Jamai was once again knocked to the ground by musket buckshot!

Fortunately, this time Baron Jamaichi did not ride on a horse, so as not to fall into a mess, Shu Zifeng in order to let Baron Jamai fall act as better cannon fodder to disrupt the enemy position, he returned his original equipment to him, Baron Jamaiai is not greedy for enjoyment, he only wants to climb up, and he is particularly afraid of death, naturally, he has smashed a large amount of income on his armor.

You get what you pay for, and the pure steel shield and plate armor defense are really powerful, and once again saved the life of the Jamaican Baron.

By the time Baron Jamai got up from the ground again, more than half of the more than 40 vanguard cannon fodder that followed him had already fallen, and the aristocratic coalition army on the opposite side had rushed out a layer of pikemen!
