Chapter 380: Heavy Armor Warrior
Bang——
A puppet army officer wearing Mingguang armor fell down with a scream, and a blood hole appeared on his right chest armor, and blood gushed out of the blood hole.
The puppet soldiers around were all scared pale. The Mingguang armor that could block swords and knives could not block the bullets shot by muskets. Wouldn’t they be even more miserable without the protection of solid armor?
However, they also knew that they would be killed by the supervisory team if they retreated, so they could only bite the bullet and continue to charge forward.
Then, the volleys of gunfire sounded, and many sword and shield soldiers who rushed to the front fell down with a scream, but most of them were temporarily saved because they were protected by thick wooden shields.
The thick wooden shield can indeed block lead bullets, but as the distance gets closer, the kinetic energy generated by the lead bullets hitting the wooden shield becomes stronger, which makes the whole arm of the soldier holding the wooden shield numb, and even breaks it.
The dense gunfire-like sound covered the sporadic gunfire. The puppet army officers who led the charge fell down one by one, either shot in the head or shot in the chest.
These were the masterpieces of the snipers hidden in the trenches. They specifically looked for valuable targets to attack. This was not only the key reminder and emphasis of the instructors during teaching, but the key was that the reward for shooting an officer was higher than the reward for shooting ten ordinary soldiers.
After a battle, if ten officers above the rank of lieutenant were killed, they would be directly promoted to the next level, which would save a lot of trouble. The only thing to worry about was that there would be too many wolves and too little meat, and there would not be so many officers for them to earn military merit.
Relying on the cover of thick wooden shields, the puppet army's archers and musketeers advanced while firing arrows and guns, causing some casualties to the soldiers of the Second Brigade.
However, their luck ran out. As the puppet army approached, the grenade throwers of the Second Brigade ignited the fuse of the grenade under the command of the officers and threw it forward with force.
Grenades with green smoke fell from the sky and hit the grass. Amid the earth-shaking explosions, balls of fire flashed, and the shrapnel reaped lives around them.
Most of the shield soldiers in the first three rows fell, and the archers and musketeers in the back suddenly lost their cover and fell down screaming under the dense volleys.
After three rounds of volleys, hundreds of archers and musketeers all fell in a pool of blood. The wounded struggled and screamed, but no one cared.
However, under the cover of a row of shield soldiers, the 500 heavy armored warriors of the Qing army took the opportunity to advance quickly, less than 100 meters away from the trench.

After a battle, killing ten officers above the rank of lieutenant will directly lead to a promotion by one level, which is much easier. The only worry is that there are too many wolves and too little meat, and there are not so many officers for them to earn military merit.

One by one, the grenades with green smoke fell from the sky and fell on the grass. In the earth-shaking explosion, groups of fire flashed, and the shrapnel that shot out wantonly harvested lives around.
Most of the shield soldiers in the first three rows fell, and the archers and musketeers behind them lost their cover and fell down screaming under the dense volleys of gunfire.
