Chapter 1476 Under the Invincible Musket

While Doppler rushed forward with his head down, he kept turning back and shouting to the soldiers behind him:

"Everyone runs! Lift up all the shields!"

When he received the order from his superiors to lead the sword and shield soldiers to launch a new round of charge against the musketeers, Doppler actually didn't want to accept this order...

Because - Doppler's intuition was telling him crazy: this charge will be more and more unlucky.

But Doppler finally decided to take the order.

The reason is nothing else - even Doppler, who is not very good at strategy, can see that the only way they can fight against this new-style unit of the Sheeran army is to use their lives to pile up.

He used his life to build a bloody path close to the musketeers.

There is no other way.

Compared to taking on such a task of being in danger, Doppler hates losing more, and his country will perish because of it.

Doppler held a shield in one hand and his shackle in the other.

I don’t know if it was Doppler’s luck or other reasons. Doppler, who was clearly charging in the front, was not attacked by the projectile for a long time.

The musketeers on the opposite side have fired several rounds, but none of the projectiles hit Doppler.

As a senior general in the army, Doppler not only led the way, rushed to the front, but was also not hit by the enemy's projectiles for a long time. Such a heroic attitude invisibly greatly encouraged the morale of the sword and shield soldiers who followed him to charge.

The sword and shield soldiers led by Doppler did not charge alone.

On their wings, there were cavalry escorts.

Behind them, there were a large number of crossbowmen accompanying them.

The cavalry on both wings were used to prevent the Sheeran army from sending their rear troops to attack the sword and shield soldiers who were charging towards the musketeers.

However, the cavalry team's guarding effect is visible to the naked eye.

First of all - in order to cooperate with the infantry's turtle speed, the cavalry had to slow down their horse speed and marched on the wings of the sword and shield soldiers at a speed that was no different from pace.

Secondly - the war horses are still quite afraid of the sound of musket shooting.

Every volley of muskets can cause the wail of war horses and make the cavalry's formation even more chaotic.

Some smarter people found straw and other things to plug the ears of the horses under their crotch.

This method still has some effect. The horses whose ears are blocked are obviously not so afraid of gunfire.

However, there are too few things that can be used to block the ears of horses.

Only a very small number of people can find things that can be used to block the horse.

The crossbowmen behind them are responsible for counterattacking the musketeers after they enter the range of their crossbow arrows to protect the sword and shield soldiers from continuing to advance.

——It’s soon! It’s almost!

Doppler stared at the musketeers in front of him, constantly calculating the distance between them and the musketeers.

After countless sacrifices, they have finally succeeded in getting close to the musketeers of the Sheeran Army.

People with good eyesight like Doppler can clearly see what the musketeers standing in the front row look like.

The crossbowmen behind them can finally show the power of the crossbow in their hands.

The dense crossbow arrows rose up like black locusts, and then covered the Sheeran army musketeers on the opposite side.

Since the war started, the Frank generals, who had suffered countless casualties, finally successfully caused some casualties to the Sheeran musketeers.

Unfortunately, they can not cause much casualties.

Just then, Doppler heard a thunderous rumbling sound opposite him.

Hearing this sound, Doppler felt that his heart seemed to have a beat.

He hurriedly moved his eyes, allowing his eyes to pass through the Musketeers formation in front of him, and to the Sheeran army unit in the rear.

Cavalry teams rushed out of the Sheeran army formation in the rear.

The Sheeran army's war horses were not as afraid of musket sounds as the Frank army's war horses.

The Sheeran Army's war horses have been trained long ago, so they are not afraid of the mere musket sounds.

Therefore—the Sheeran army's horses, who would not be affected by the sound of muskets, obediently obediently obediently obediently the orders of their masters on their backs, spread their four hooves and ran forward.

The Sheeran cavalry lined up in tight wedge formations were divided into two groups.

A group of swords and shield soldiers were about to reach the musketeers.

Another group rushed towards the Frank cavalry who were responsible for escorting the sword and shield soldiers, but were in a mess because the war horses were not familiar with the sound of muskets.

Looking at the Xilan cavalry team that was attacking them with a storm, the morale of many sword and shield soldiers collapsed, threw away the weapons in their hands, and fled back frantically.

We can't blame these soldiers for their morale and fighting spirit for collapse.

Originally, they kept charging forward with terrifying muskets, which put a lot of psychological pressure on them.

And now that the Franks have sent their cavalry teams to deal with them, it is natural that they will feel broken.

After all, anyone who has been in the army knows that the infantry are not opponents of the cavalry without forming a military formation.

If they are to be arranged in close military formations, it will inevitably lead to the slow movement of soldiers.

If the sword and shield soldiers were allowed to slowly approach the musketeers of the Sheeran army like they were on this, they might be half the distance away from the musketeers, and the sword and shield soldiers would collapse because they could not bear the huge casualties.

So—in order to reach the musketeers even if it was a step earlier, Rudolph and others ordered——all of them would charge forward with no life, and charge at the fastest speed they could.

In this way, the sword and shield soldiers can indeed reach the musketeers as fast as possible.

But this brings up a new problem:

Everyone's speed is high and low, so it will inevitably lead to a mess of formations and queues.

Can the military formation win against the cavalry in such a messy queue? As long as the soldier's mind is still normal, then his answer to this question is 100% - impossible!

However, Doppler doesn't care about these crazy retreating soldiers now.

After all, he also knew that under the current situation, he was unable to make the soldiers who had completely collapsed morale and fighting spirit regained the courage to charge.

All Doppler can do is to continue to command and continue to fight, and continue to kill the musketeers in front of him.

The closer the distance, the higher the shooting accuracy of the musket.

Therefore - as Doppler and others got closer and closer to the musketeers, more and more people were shot by the musketeers.

——It’s soon! It’s soon!

Doppler shouted wildly in his heart.
