The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 37

[Chapter 37 Deterrence]

“Prepare, prepare the crossbow, aim at the enemy, and release it immediately when you hear the order!” On the battlefield, Zhong Yu’s resounding voice came, and it was conveyed vigorously to every guard knight.

Those guard knights sat on their horses, pulled out their crossbows on the outside of their thighs, raised them in their hands, and aimed at the tribal guards above the barbarian tribal camp.

The hand crossbows equipped by these praetorian guards are repeating crossbows, with 10 small arrows in them, and the rate of fire can reach one per second.

The maximum range can reach 300 meters, and the effective range is 150 meters. Within the effective range, ordinary iron armor can be broken.

At this moment, these are deadly weapons of mass destruction for ordinary humans without extraordinary power, and they are quietly aiming at them, preparing to resist Zhong Yu’s barbarians.

Those barbarians looked at the knights beside Zhong Yu curiously, and raised the thing in their hands that they didn’t know what it was. They were barbaric and backward, and they had never seen such a thing as a crossbow, so they didn’t know their power. .

Knowledge is power, ignorance and fearlessness. If you haven’t seen it, you will never know the horror of that thing. This is the case with those barbarians now. The scene of destroying everything can deeply appreciate your horror.

Because of this, in ancient times, those ancient dynasties did not prohibit the use of bows, but only prohibited crossbows. People with crossbows were often regarded as wanting to rebel and could be killed.

“Let it go!” with Zhong Yu’s order.

The knights behind him pulled the wrench in their hands and brushed them.

Hundreds of arrows flew in the rain, and within a few breaths, the barbarian won, and suddenly, more than 20 people fell.

Afterwards, the knights pulled the wrench in their hands again, and another round of arrows flew towards them. Those savages, how dare they stand on the city wall above the city wall, and hurriedly lie down to find cover, even so, still Nearly ten of his hapless people were shot by arrows.

Seeing such a tragic situation for his subordinates, the tribal patriarch hurriedly yelled at his subordinates to open the door, as if he wanted to fight to the death while there was still some strength left.

In the creaking sound, the door slowly opened, and then the patriarch took the lead in charging, followed by more than ten warriors of the barbarian tribe, with crazy hatred on their faces.

These people in front of me just pulled the weapons that seemed to be bows and arrows in their hands, and shot so many of my own clansmen, so many of them were my friends who used to hunt together. On weekdays, everyone was so friendly and happy. , And today, I will leave myself forever.

So, even though they knew that coming out was to die twice, they still rushed out without hesitation. If they didn’t rush out, would they hide in the camp and wait to die?

Seeing those savages rushing out, he finally raised his left hand, shouted stop, and signaled the knights to stop shooting.

Then, Zhong Yu motioned for ten guards on his left and right to charge forward, cut down the barbarians, and use their bravery to deter the servants of the barbarians behind him.

The ten knights received the order, slapped the horses and rushed up, and the horses slowly lifted up.

Extreme speed is quickly mentioned, and they raise their spears flat.

The three-meter-long lance pierced the bodies of the barbarians before the barbarians approached the knights.

The strong impact driven by the warhorse made those savage bodies fly out, roll backwards, and smashed a few companions to the ground together, but with a gentle rush, the savages who rushed out were smashed to the ground. completely annihilated.

Only a few lucky people were lucky enough to get away with a few rolls on the ground.

But their luck ended here. After the charge, the knights immediately turned around, pulled out the knight’s sword in their hand, and swept past them quickly. The sharp sword in their hand pierced their body. , leaching bright red blood and taking their lives.

On the battlefield, the mourning slowly subsided.

There are only a few knights constantly patrolling the battlefield, and there will be puffs from time to time, but those knights are checking whether there is any fish that slipped through the net, and by the way they make up for it.

The servants behind Zhong Yu stared dumbfounded at the battlefield in front of them.

Their hearts were full of shock. They who never thought that a war could be fought like this was unimaginable for such a novel and artistic war scene.

I feel both a sense of poignant beauty and an inexplicable sadness.

If it is his job, he wants to attack such a powerful tribe with fifty people.

Without the fighting strength of hundreds of people, it would be impossible to lose forty or fifty of him.

But now, those knights in full armor just gently pulled the bow-like weapons in their hands, and the overwhelming rain of arrows forced the warriors in the tribe out.

Then he gently rode the beasts he sat down on, whether they were monsters, and charged past quickly, taking my warriors and precious lives with them.

When can war be fought like this?

So easy to win?

The appearance of those knights did not seem to possess a grudge, the existence of that mysterious and noble power.

Just some ordinary people with skilled fighting skills.

Possessing those strange weapons and riding the strange beasts can actually make their strength reach such a level that it can almost be compared to a second-order existence with a grudge.

While feeling shocked in their hearts, those barbarian servants also deeply felt unparalleled fear. When they saw the end of the tribal warrior, they couldn’t help but remember that if they faced this kind of existence, UU Reading www.uukanshu .com Then how should we respond and end?

And before, he actually wanted to resist such an army, and such force is definitely not something he can fight against.

If you really want to resist, although those knights may suffer some losses, it must be your own side who will be killed and injured in the end.

After thinking about this situation, the powerless reality hit them hard, making them reluctantly accept their fate, and admit their identity as servants from the bottom of their hearts.

After that, if it is not a very special situation, then I believe that even if I let them die, these servants should not have the courage to resist themselves.

Seeing the changes in the expressions on the faces of these servants, Zhong Yu couldn’t help feeling very satisfied, and he didn’t waste his pain.

The combat power of more than 50 people is young and strong. Whether it is used as cannon fodder or used to build city walls, it is very useful.

If it is used as the population of the territory, then he can provide a little luck point every month, which can be exchanged for ten loyal subjects.

To be consumed on a meaningless battlefield like this, even Zhong Yu was very heartbroken.

Now, seeing that my efforts have paid off, in general, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

As long as these servants dare not resist him, then he can control them and continue to plunder some of the population, as long as he obtains seven or eight hundred of his population, brings them back to the territory, and settles them down.

Then the task of borrowing 5,000 people and 1,000 households will also be completed, and the territory upgrade can be carried out.

Thinking so beautifully in my heart, the order in my mouth did not stop, let those barbarians enter the camp, gather the remaining population, take away useful property, and prepare to go to the next tribe to sweep.
