Rise of the Empire Total War

Under the threat of shining swords, more than 300 prisoners of war cleared the battlefield very quickly, throwing more than a thousand corpses on the battlefield into the burial pit in less than half an hour. The nearly 500 soldiers who died in battle were not able to enjoy cremation, but could only be buried in the ground, and a simple wooden cross was erected in front of their graves as the tombstones of these devout Christians.

After these were completed, the prisoners of war who thought they had completed the task received an order to dig another big hole. Although they were puzzled by this order, they could only follow through due to the threat of swords. Some of them seemed to smell the faint murderous aura in the air, and felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

After dozens of minutes, a big pit big enough to accommodate more than three or four hundred people was finally dug, and these captives also ushered in their final end. Seeing that the task was completed, the captives breathed a sigh of relief and set off one after another, about to climb up from the edge of the deep pit.

However, before they climbed up, the horn of attack sounded from the ground. The horn was low and distant, resounding through the sky. Hearing this sound, the expressions of the prisoners in the pit changed drastically. They who had fought against the Winsters You know, this is the horn used by the enemy to attack!

Tread Tread——

As soon as the trumpet sounded, all the heavily armored soldiers and imperial knights on foot marched forward in formation, slowly encircling the pit. The sound of friction between the armor and weapons on the soldiers' bodies merged together, which was extremely ear-piercing, and the air was filled with With a chilling air, dark clouds enveloped the sky.

Listening to the voice from the ground, even a fool could see the intention of the Winsters. The prisoners of war were horrified. They didn't expect that someone who was hostile to them would do such a barbaric thing, especially the ten Several nobles, their faces were pale with fright, their legs trembled, and they almost couldn't stand still.

Everyone is full of despair. The big pit they dug is the grave they prepared for themselves. Although the tools have not been taken away, how can these armor-piercing tools fight back against the vigor and elite Winster who has just experienced the vicious warriors? Human massacre?

Under the pressure of heavy emotions, angry cursing, roaring, screaming and crying soon sounded from the crowd. These voices were intertwined and echoed in the tomb prepared for them. Listening to the various voices coming out of the pit, the advancing soldiers were expressionless. It was impossible for them to feel pity for these enemies. In their eyes, the prisoners of war in the pit were equal to livestock.

Tattat - boom!

After a sound of orderly footsteps, the scene fell silent for an instant, and then, under the restless gaze of the prisoners of war, a long howl tore through the brief silence. Benedis, who was in charge of the command, looked up to the sky and roared, "Stand up the shield, get ready to fight!" The soldiers with blood on their bodies put their shields in front of them one after another, and the heavily armored soldiers with spears set their kites up. The tip of the bottom of the large shield is inserted into the soil, the body is slightly tilted, and the spear is placed in the gap between the shields,

Pointing in the direction of the big pit, their eyes were cold, as if they were looking at a group of dead people!

When this happened, the prisoners of war also accepted their upcoming fate. They were not reconciled, and looked at the dozen or so nobles. In their eyes, the nobles were the best leaders, but they were disappointed, because in In their eyes, those aristocratic lords who had high hopes were tremblingly looking at the enemy above their heads, their faces pale, like bereaved dogs.

There is no shortage of courageous and courageous people in this world, and these prisoners of war are no exception. After seeing the weak and incompetent ugly faces of the nobles, one of them who was still wearing armor stepped forward. Pao Ze, who was slaughtering, held up the shovel in his hand and roared: "The Winsters want to kill us, we can't just die like this, think about our loved ones who are waiting for us to go back at home, we must go back alive! Brothers , pick up the tools in your hands, and rush up to fight the Winsters!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"For the loved ones at home, go!"

The motivated prisoners of war roared and raised the tools in their hands, rushing up the sloping slope, their eyes were red with anger, and their momentum was like a rainbow, but they were sent to death in vain!

The soldiers on the ground did not expect that this group of prisoners of war would come to break through in waves. After being a little dazed, they quickly regained their composure, clenched their shields and weapons, and pointed at the climbing prisoners. At this moment, Benedis gave an order, and the civilian crossbowmen stepped forward one after another, holding the wounded crossbows and standing behind the first row of soldiers. They raised the crossbows and aimed at the climbing prisoners. , then pull the trigger.

In the next moment, the buzzing sound of grinning death sounded quickly, and hundreds of crossbow bolts flew over the shield into the pit, shooting and killing the climbing prisoners in large numbers. The blood that spewed out like a fountain almost stained the soil red, and the bloody scene stimulated the nerves of the other prisoners of war. Many of them woke up instantly, and no longer had the previous impulse.

After the first round of salvo, the civilian crossbowmen retreated quickly, leaving the position for the next batch of comrades, who continuously shot the crossbow arrows into the pit. The cracking sound of crossbow arrows was constantly heard in the air, and no one knew whether one shot would hit him directly. A prisoner of war who was climbing saw with his own eyes that a person beside him was accurately hit in the face by the crossbow arrow. , The man was immediately lifted up by the force of the crossbow, his body fell back, and then rolled into the bottom of the pit, blood sprayed out from his face, leaving a scarlet mark all the way.

Under the long-range shooting of the civilian crossbowmen, this group of prisoners of war who charged desperately just because of the encouragement of one person quickly collapsed. They screamed and ran to the back, but collided with the people who rushed up from behind, and the scene was chaotic. Unbearable, many people who couldn't dodge were knocked down and trampled on the ground by others, screaming in pain.

"Keep shooting, free shooting!"

Round after round of deadly arrow rain flew into the pit, and the prisoners inside fell in pieces. Their livers and gallbladders were torn apart, and they could no longer have any idea of ​​resistance. When the arrow rain stopped, the entire pit was filled with the corpses of prisoners of war , No one could rush to the ground, and most of them were shot down on the way of charging. In the huge pit, the only sound that could be heard was the painful wailing and sobbing of the wounded.

"Buried them all."

Benedis ordered with a deadpan expression. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers put down their weapons and shields, picked up tools and shoveled the soil into the pit. The scattered soil covered the blood-stained bodies of the prisoners of war, and the wounded wailing buried in the underworld.

After dozens of minutes, the big pit was filled, and everything was so peaceful, as if such a massacre had never happened before.
