The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

The crossbow phalanx stopped slowly, and spent half a minute checking the crossbow in their hands to see if there were any malfunctions or problems.

"Raise the crossbow!"

"Raise the bow!"

Following the shouts of the commanders of each formation, the first 1,000 people on both sides of the formation raised their bows and crossbows.

"put!"

"put!"

Whoosh! Two thousand arrows flew out, non-stop falling from the sky. Above the city, those recruits still don't know how to avoid arrows.

He just stared blankly at those arrows shooting at himself. Puff, the sound of arrows passing through kept ringing, followed by the sound of mourning.

Awakened by the screams, the soldiers remembered to hide, but before they could make a move, three seconds after the batch of arrows fell, another two thousand arrows shot over.

There was another sound of slamming into the flesh, and four or five hundred of them fell sparsely. At this moment, for two consecutive times, the soldiers who were stunned by the crossbow array had completely lost consciousness.

Only a few more vigilant people quickly hid. As a result, he escaped unharmed, and looked at the soldiers who were still standing stupidly with his eyes gratefully.

Whoosh whoosh! Another three showers of arrows passed by. Those soldiers already knew to hide at this time, but they were still killed and injured by the waves of arrows.

Next, this period of time is the time for the performance of those crossbow arrays. A square array is divided into five sections of shooting, shooting three rounds in a row, a total of fifteen waves, the rain of arrows poured on the city wall, 30,000 arrows They are densely packed into the city wall or the houses behind the city wall.

From time to time, a soldier was brutally nailed to the city wall by more than a dozen arrows, howling in pain, wanting to get up and roll, but sadly found that his whole body was locked up, unable to move even if he wanted to, and could only stand in a daze He stared blankly at his bleeding, and lost his precious life in endless pain.

After fifteen rounds of arrow rain, more than 3,000 of his people had been sparsely lying on the city wall, and some of the rest were trembling, so they could only hide behind the city wall and use the female wall to resist the arrow rain's attack.

Seeing that the archers on the city wall had been suppressed by his own arrow array, Zhong Yu continued to order those cannon fodder to move forward, although he said that he kept shooting arrows down, and it was very likely that he would win the war.

However, this is not what I want. These cannon fodder are recruits who have never experienced war and are still immature.

It is necessary to use this siege battle and use countless lives to pile up an elite army. Now the only 25,000 cannon fodder left in the account is just an appetizer.

The 8,000 strong men from Wudu County will also press up as a reserve team.

bang bang bang! With the sound of war drums, the first batch of cannon fodder teams were pushed up again. This time, those supervising teams will not be so easy to talk to.

They have already received orders from their superiors, and if these five thousand people do not die until his three thousand people are absolutely not allowed to go down.

That is to say? Counting the hundreds of people who died before, more than 1,000 more people will die here, and they will not be able to retreat until there are about 3,000 people left.

"Come on!"

With a roar of anger, all the strong cannon fodder shouted and screamed, in order to inspire their own little courage.

Seeing all the people around rushing up with him, watching from left to right, and finding that there are huge crowds of people around, with endless sight at a glance, the confidence in my heart suddenly increased a lot.

Holding the weapon tightly in their hands, they clearly knew that this would be their most important partner to save their lives in the future.

Ten steps, fifty steps, one hundred steps, soon, braving the rain of swords, guns and arrows, like thunder and rolling stones. This group of cannon fodder gradually approached the foot of the city wall, and a group of people worked together to set up a ladder of more than 20 meters in their hands on the city wall.

More than a dozen people were left to hold down their feet firmly to prevent the ladder from being pushed down by the people on the city wall, and some of the remaining people hurriedly climbed up the ladder.

Zizizi! A pot of boiling hot oil and golden juice was brought up. Countless wooden barrels had been prepared in the city long ago, and with a splash, one by one the wooden barrels were put into the pot, and the scalding liquid contained in it was poured down hard under the city wall.

Crash! Countless hot liquid was poured on the soldiers climbing up under the city.

"what!"

Countless screams rang out from below the city, one after another, but it was of no use. The soldiers under the countless ladders grabbed those who were injured and moved around, and threw them off the ladders.

In this way, you come and I attack. The crowd is like ants, you push me, I push you through hundreds of ladders to climb the city wall.

People kept climbing up the city wall, and before they were happy, they were stabbed down by several guards with spears in their hands.

Puff puff! All the cannon fodder was picked up like dumplings, and then poured down again and again. From a distance, it looks like raindrops falling from the city wall into the moat or at the foot of the city wall.

A thick layer of corpses was spread, and soon, in less than half an hour, 3,000 of the 5,000 people saw him, and more than 1,000 corpses fell under the city wall forever.

"Dang, clang, clang!" With the sound of bronze drums, the sound of Jinling spread to the battlefield, and was heard by the struggling cannon fodder. All the cannon fodders showed surprise on their faces.

There is a system in the army, advance when you hear the drum, and retreat when you hear the gold. It was not that no one had thought of escaping before, but the 1,000-man supervising team surrounded the entire battlefield from a distance, leaving no room for anyone to escape.

As long as someone dared to take a step back, there would be a rain of arrows immediately, turning the person who was trying to escape into a hornet's nest, without the slightest hold back or accident.

As for all the people turning back together, don't be kidding, there are four thousand warlords behind the more than 1,000 troops, and behind him there are more than 20,000 troops neatly lined up in a row, watching him, where can he escape to? place?

It's better to go forward, take a chance with your own luck, and bet that you can survive this battlefield, and you can also get promoted and make a fortune.

Hearing the sound of gold ringing now, all the people under the city wall retreated quickly, taking away the ladders, as for the hundreds of people on the city wall.

Now he is fighting with the enemy, and he is entangled. If he wants to escape, it will take at least a moment. And at this moment, the army below the city that was still queuing up to the city wall would at least kill hundreds of people.

Are these strangers in the city the Holy Mother? Great enough to give up his own life in exchange for those hundreds of people to survive him and dozens of others, then the whole world will be peaceful.

Before going to the battlefield, these troops were told by their commanders that when you retreat, you can retreat if you want, but you must bring back all the ladders that are still intact, otherwise, which ladders that can be used will be lost If so, all the troops in charge of guarding the ladder will be killed.

And the weapons on your body cannot be discarded at will. If you lose them, then you will have to go up empty-handed next time you go to the battlefield. At that time, if you don't have weapons and armors and will be killed by others, don't blame Shangguan for being ruthless!

Otherwise, these soldiers who wished their parents would lose two legs and be able to quickly withdraw from the battlefield would not want to go along the ladder, and would just drop everything and rush back to the rear.
