The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 37: Deterrence
"Prepare, prepare the crossbow, aim at the enemy, and immediately release it when you hear the command!" Above the battlefield, Zhong Yu's loud voice was heard, which was conveyed to every guard knight.
The guard knights sat on their horses, drew out the crossbows on the outside of their thighs, raised them flat in their hands, and aimed at the tribal guards above the barbarian tribal camp.
The hand crossbows equipped by these Imperial Guards are multiple crossbows with 10 small arrows inside, 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 these barbarians who are ready to resist Zhong Yu.
The barbarians looked at the knight beside Zhong Yu curiously, and lifted up what they didn’t know. The barbarians and backwards had never seen a crossbow before, so they didn’t know. Their power.
Knowledge is power, ignorant and fearless. If you have not seen it, you will never know how terrible it is. Now that is the case with those barbarians. They have never seen a tens of thousands of crossbows fired. The scene of wearing flesh and destroying everything can deeply realize your horror.
Because of this, in ancient times, those ancient dynasties did not ban the use of bows, but only banned crossbows. Those who possessed crossbows were often regarded as wanting to rebel and could be killed.
"Put it out!" Following Zhong Yu's order. The knights behind him pulled the wrench in their hands and brushed them. Hundreds of arrows flew all together, and within a few breaths, the barbarian was in the midst of winning, and suddenly, more than twenty people fell.
Then, the knights pulled the wrench in their hands again, and another round of arrows rushed towards them. Where did the barbarians dare to stand upright on the city wall and hurriedly lie down looking for shelter, even if they were. In this way, there are still nearly ten unlucky ones who have hit the arrow again.
The tribal chief saw the tragic situation of his subordinates, and he hurriedly shouted to his subordinates to open the door, as if he wanted to fight to the death while he still had some strength.
squeaking, the door slowly opened, and then the patriarch took the lead in the charge, followed by more than a dozen barbarian tribe warriors, with crazy hatred on their faces.
are these people in front of me. They just squeezed the weapons in their hands that seemed to be bows and arrows, and shot so many people in their own tribe, so many of them were friends who hunted together in the past. Everyone is like that. Friendly and happy, but today, I will leave myself forever.
So, even though they knew that they would die twice, they still rushed out without hesitation. If they didn’t rush out, would they just cringe and hide in the camp and wait for death?
Seeing the barbarians rushing out, he finally raised his left hand and shouted to stop, signaling the knights to stop shooting.
Then, Zhong Yu motioned to his left and right ten guards to charge forward, slash and kill the barbarians, and use their bravery to deter the ghostly barbaric servants behind him.
The ten knights received the order, slapped their horses and rushed up, and the horses rose slowly. Speed was soon mentioned, and they raised their spears flat.
The three-meter-long lance pierced the bodies of the barbarians before the barbarians had approached the knights.
The powerful impact driven by the war horse caused those savage bodies to be knocked out by flying, and fell to the ground and rolled back. They also smashed a few of their companions and fell to the ground together, but with a slight rush, they rushed out. The barbarians were wiped out. Only a few lucky people were lucky enough to be on the ground, fought a few times, and escaped a catastrophe.
But their good fortune will end here. After the charge, the knights turned around immediately, pulled out the knight sword in their hands, and quickly passed them, and the sharp sword in their hands was pierced. Their bodies were soaked with bright red blood, which took away their lives.
Above the battlefield, the wailing sound slowly subsided. There are only a few knights constantly patrolling the battlefield, and there are chuckles from time to time, but those knights are checking whether there is a fish that has slipped through the net, and by the way, they will make up for it.
The servants behind Zhong Yu stared at the battlefield in front of them with their mouths. They were full of shock in their hearts. They had never thought that a war could be fought in this way. It is unimaginable for such a novel and artistically beautiful war scene.
feels a sense of sadness and an inexplicable sadness. If it's my own job, I want to attack such a powerful tribe with fifty people. Without the fighting power of hundreds of people, the loss of forty or fifty people from him is simply not possible.
And now, those knights in full armor just gently pulled the weapons that looked like bows and arrows in their hands, and the rain of arrows forced out the warriors in the tribe.
Then lightly riding on whether the beasts he was sitting on were beasts like beasts, and quickly charged past, taking the precious lives of my warriors.
When can war be fought like this? Can you win this way easily? The appearance of those knights did not seem to possess vindictiveness, that kind of mysterious and noble power.
are just ordinary people with skillful fighting skills. With those weird weapons and the kind of strange monsters they ride, they can reach such a level of strength, almost comparable to a Tier 2 existence with a grudge. NS.
While feeling shocked in their hearts, the barbarian servants felt incomparable fear deeply. When they saw the fate of the tribal warrior, they couldn't help thinking of how they would face this kind of existence~IndoMTL. com~ Then how should we deal with it and end it?
Before, I actually wanted to resist such an army. Such force is definitely not something people like myself can resist.
I really want to fight back. Although it may cause the knights to suffer some losses, it must be my own side that is completely dead and wounded in the end.
After trying to understand this situation, the powerless reality shocked them, making them resigned to their fate helplessly, and admitted from the bottom of their hearts that they were servants.
After , if it is not a very special situation, then believe that even if you let them go to death, their servants should have no guts to resist them.
Zhong Yu saw the changes in the expressions on the faces of these servants, he couldn't help feeling very satisfied, and he couldn't help but consume it.
The combat power of more than fifty people is all 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 people who are loyal to him.
was so consumed on a meaningless battlefield, even Zhong Yu was very heartbroken. Now, seeing that my hard work has paid off, in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
As long as these servants dare not resist themselves, then they can control them and continue to plunder some people, as long as they get his population of seven or eight hundred, bring them back to the territory, and settle down. Then the task of having a population of 5,000 and 1,000 households will be completed, and the upgrade of the territory can proceed.
thought so beautifully in his heart, but kept saying orders to let the barbarians enter the camp, gather the remaining population, take away useful possessions, and prepare to go to the next tribe to carry out a raid.
