In the absence of modern technology material technology support, there is only one way to prevent bulletproof, constantly thicken the thickness of the armor, remove the impurities of the steel plate, of course, under the limited industrial technology, the removal of steel impurities is limited, but the thickness of the thickened armor is theoretically 'infinite'.

The only restriction is how a human wearing this bulletproof armor can move and fight?

As a result, in the bulletproof plate armor with extremely high loads, there was only one way to charge into battle on a war horse, because as long as these black-armored knights got off the war horse, even normal walking would become extremely laborious.

The physical strength limit of excellent military horses is much higher than that of humans, and they can not only carry human black-armored cavalry like a scale, but also wear a continuous layer of horse armor.

And the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army are facing such a group of steel monsters at this time.

The elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army, who stopped and lined up to fire a salvo, looked at the black-armored cavalry who bounced off the lead bullets like moving tanks in amazement, and couldn't help but fall into a state of confusion.

The most commonly used weapon in their hands lost its effect, leaving these warriors who fought to the death a little overwhelmed.

However, although the black armor is 'invincible', but the people inside are not, the power generated by the impact of the lead bullet on the black armor is weakened by the shock and transferred to the soft human body inside......

Even the war horses can't stand this kind of dense shock!

Therefore, the black-armored knights in the charge all bounced off the lead bullets that came at them, but there were still some black-armored knights who either fell to the ground on their own or their horses, and never had a chance to get up again.

This is one of the reasons why bulletproof cavalry has not spread on the European battlefield, armor bulletproof is not fake, but bulletproof does not mean invincible, if you are shot more, people will also be shocked to death, just like the Middle Ages with blunt weapons to hit canned heavy cavalry.

The only difference is that the musket was more powerful than the blunt weapons of the Middle Ages, and the armor worn by the knights was more solid and refined than in the Middle Ages.

This was mainly due to the development of gunpowder and the progress of iron-smelting technology.

Technology is evolving, but the interaction between spear and shield remains the same.

The volleys of the elite grenadiers of the Taiping army were so lethal that they could not stop the charge of the black-armored knights, and they easily broke through the bayonet phalanx of the elite grenadiers of the Taiping army with their rifles and relying on the speed of their horses.

The reason is simple, the bayonet simply could not break through the defenses of the vests and the knights in black armor!

And under the crushing of absolute mass superiority, the human body can't collide with the black-armored knight at all, just like no matter how many people can't collide with a car.

Fortunately, after the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army lost the lethal effect of lead bullets and bayonets, there was also the original version of the large grenade that could play a role, even if it was heavy black armor, it could not protect the human body inside unscathed under the blasting of black powder, if it was affected by the grenade explosion at close range, the black armor knight had only one end, and the internal organs were shattered and died!

The premise is that the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army must have the good luck to throw the grenade right next to the charging black-armored knight and ensure that the grenade explodes just when the black-armored knight passes by......

Ordinary shrapnel has been unable to break through the armor, only the close gunpowder momentum can shock the black armored cavalry, due to the black powder explosive is unsatisfactory, want to blow up the black armored cavalry, the Taiping army's elite grenadiers luck and precision requirements are extremely high.

To sum up, killing a black-armored cavalry has become very difficult for the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army!

Although the black-armored cavalry, which was not fast in charge, was not very lethal to the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army, a group of bulletproof cavalry ran around in the Taiping Army array, making it impossible for the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army to list the standard offensive array, which greatly interfered with the pace of pursuing the main German force.

After discovering that the black-armored cavalry of the Taiping Army could not be eliminated in a short period of time, the front-line officers of the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army immediately changed their tactics and ordered the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army to abandon the dense horizontal phalanx, and instead continue to pursue the rear of the main German infantry regiment in a skirmish line.

This is risky, after all, the main force of the German center still has sufficient troops, and once it realigns itself and turns around to launch a wave of counter-charge with a tight military formation, it is likely to cause heavy losses to the straggler line of the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army.

When Leopold I saw the skirmishers of the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army, this idea came to him at first, and then ...... And then there is no more......

Leopold I was desperate to hear the report of the noble officers under his command that the German infantry regiment was no longer able to re-attack in formation, so he completely abandoned the unrealistic idea of counterattacking and fled the battlefield with his cronies on horseback.

The Black-Armored Cavalry's plan to delay the main force of the Taipings' elite grenadiers was cut off, and the Black-Armored Cavalry's only role was to make Leopold I realize that the morale of his troops had turned negative, and at the last moment he had time to order his men to destroy all the artillery and not leave the Taiping army with useful weapons.

The battlefield of the defeat of the German coalition army presented a very interesting scene, the black cavalry panted like a cow in the Taiping army formation, and was surrounded and beaten by a group of elite grenadiers of the Taiping army, and on the other side, a large number of elite grenadiers of the Taiping army lined up in a loose straggler formation, biting the rear of the defeated infantry corps of the German coalition like a tide, killing people while collecting prisoners of war.

The glory of the German knights was trampled to pieces at this moment, and the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army, who regarded the desperate Taiping Army as demons, completely lost their fighting spirit.

No one is not afraid of an enemy who fights for his life, and this is not a handful of enemy troops, but all enemies!

When the black-armored cavalry ran out of strength, they looked up and saw that the battle flags of the Taiping Army were all over the mountains, and all they could see were the prisoners of war who had been unarmed and squatted in the distance......

The black armor is invincible, but unfortunately the physical strength of humans and war horses is limited, after the black armor cavalry can't run, they either take the initiative to lay down their weapons and surrender, or are swarmed by the elite grenadiers of the Taiping army who are pressed to the ground with all hands and feet, and more than a thousand black armor cavalry without exception have all become captives of Hong Tiancheng.

After the war, Hong Tiancheng curiously asked people to take off the armor on the black armor cavalry and send it to his eyes, Hong Tiancheng tried the weight of this set of black armor, and gave a two-word evaluation - chicken ribs.

No matter how strong a person in black armor wears it, he only has the strength to raise his hand, and only by sitting on a war horse and relying on horsepower to charge can he raise his weapon to kill, otherwise he is a useless turtle shell.

It is not the same concept at all as the famous cuirassiers of later generations.
