"Kill!"

The commander of the aristocratic coalition, the viscount, personally wore a light full-body plate armor made of pure steel, held a knight's long shield and brandished a noble long sword to drive away a group of reassembled heavy infantry, and held a half-height iron shield to launch a 'glory' charge against Shu Zifeng's musket team.

The so-called glory charge is a common saying among the low-level soldiers, and when the real nobles need to fight hard, they often make some promises to the assembled elite soldiers that are rare in ordinary battles, such as a heavy reward for their heads, or they can directly become the direct guard soldiers of the nobles after victory, and leap from mercenaries with unstable incomes to 'civil servants' with stable salaries.

You must know that the nobles' direct guards are much safer than mercenaries, and their income is much more stable.

The direct guards of the nobility are equivalent to the personal guards of the big men in the East, and the status of the ordinary soldiers who receive a small amount of military pay outside is different, they are the last barrier of the aristocratic class, even the most mediocre and tyrannical nobles, they will treat these direct guards who are guarding in their sleeping castles.

These nobles directly under the guards have a high salary, but they do not always have to be on the front line of the battle, only the nobles personally participate in the battle, they need to put on armor to fight, and most of the combat tasks are also to protect the safety of the noble boss or follow the charge.

This viscount's presence on the front line does not mean that he intends to charge alone, due to the large-scale popularity of muskets, there are fewer and fewer scenes of nobles taking the lead in the past, no matter how gorgeous the armor is, under the volley of muskets, it has become no longer safe, the power of muskets is enhanced by leaps and bounds compared to bows and crossbows, and the nobles are not fools, and they will naturally cherish their lives.

However, in order to firmly control the military power, the aristocratic class still retains the tradition of coming to the front line of command inherited from the Middle Ages, even if Europe has developed to the modern era of global colonization, most of the officers in the national regular army are also from the aristocratic class, and the Prussian army, which was the most capable at that time, was controlled by the Junker aristocracy in Germany from grassroots officers to high-level generals.

Because of this, Europe, as the origin of national revolutions, has always been repeatedly suppressed by feudal and decadent European monarchies, and it is too difficult and difficult for the national army of the aristocratic system to go deep into the position of grassroots officers, and it is too difficult and too difficult for the most capable field troops in the entire monarchy to fight in the hands of the aristocratic class, relying on a group of temporarily armed peasants, it is naturally impossible to win......

The French Revolution was able to win because many nobles themselves stood in the group of revolutionaries at that time, and they still held important positions in it!

This is also the reason why the fruits of the French Revolution were easily stolen by the liberal aristocracy and the bourgeoisie, and even figures like Napoleon had to bow their heads to the entrenched aristocracy.

Although the European barbarians did not learn and did not know how to do it, their rulers had a deep grasp of the truth of the barrel of the gun, which was also the fundamental reason why the backward aristocratic class still had a large market in Europe until the 21st century.

The combat morale of these heavily armored soldiers who were promised by the viscount was once again raised to the peak, this kind of warrior who licked blood with a knife head really did not pursue a high goal in life, but just wanted to live a better life and marry a satisfactory woman to pass on the lineage.

It is this kind of pure thinking that makes them dare to step into this industry, if it is really a person who thinks a lot about the future, how many people are willing to step into this kind of profession that lies in a coffin with half of their bodies?

No matter how dark the society is, it is not only by cutting people to survive, and it is undoubtedly easier to live by doing business and doing some clerical work for the aristocratic class.

The hoplites of the aristocratic coalition shrank their entire upper bodies behind the iron shields, shouting slogans to coordinate the advance speed with their teammates, and strode towards the rotational firing position of the musketeers.

Bandak immediately ordered the musketeers to turn their guns and fire intensively at the small assault force that looked like turtle shells.

All of a sudden, the sound of the exchange of lead bullets and iron weapons was endless, not all iron shields could defend against the direct shot of lead bullets, and the huge kinetic energy of the impact of lead bullets, even if it did not penetrate the shield, could dislocate the twist of a person's arm impact with an average physique!

Fortunately, the shields and iron armor of these heavy infantry finally blocked the lethality of some of the lead bullets, so as not to leave a corpse behind a volley like the previous light armor troops.

Under the heavy promise shouted by the viscount, these heavy armored soldiers fought for casualties, gritted their teeth and rushed out of the death zone of arquebus rounds, iron shields and iron armor can only reduce the death rate, but they cannot make them bulletproof infantry, it is not that there is no bulletproof armor, but not all kinds of people can afford to wear it......

When the thickness of the plate armor increases to a certain extent, it can naturally prevent the projectiles sprayed by the musket from penetrating at close range, but unfortunately, the human physical fitness of the plate armor of that thickness is put on the body, and the human body that can fight freely must at least reach the level of muscles and bones and even internal strength, in fact, the Jamaiya Baron is wearing this kind of bulletproof plate armor.

However, if this kind of bulletproof plate armor is continuously hit by lead bullets, it will also stun or even die the human body inside because of multiple powerful shocks!

The advanced body armor of the 21st century is hit by a bullet, which may crack the ribs of the human body, not to mention the armor in this era that is only spliced with steel plates?

Of course, the plate armor of this era was not primarily used for bulletproofing, but for protection against crossbow shots and melee weapon chopping.

With all the heavy infantry of the Viscount having paid more than half of the casualties, they finally managed to drag the musketeers into close combat, and this time the musketeers could no longer retreat, as all the levies had already joined the melee.

If the musketeers retreat again, the hoplites who came up by surprise can completely follow and catch up, and even cut into the flank of the main battlefield of the conscription militia, in that case, the battlefield that was originally in a good situation is likely to be reversed by the aristocratic coalition army!

The reason why the viscount promised to attack this musket team so desperately was because the previous musket rotation had annihilated a large number of noble coalition forces, and the conscripted militia seized the dominance of the battlefield with the support of the musket team.

Shu Zifeng looked at the musket team that was forced into close combat and sighed helplessly, he wanted to be a commander who commanded the whole situation, but he didn't expect the Slavic nobles to be so bloody, and they rushed to the position of the musket team with more than half of the casualties!

If Shu Zifeng didn't want to see his musket team suffer battle damage, he could only end up in person.
