total war rise of empire

Chapter 49 Cannon Fodder Come On! (fourth more)
Whoosh whoosh~~~
200 crossbow arrows, at a closer distance, caused greater damage. Many of the powerful crossbows even penetrated the body of the unarmored and thin Jackal, causing a secondary blow to the Jackal warrior behind!
Under the third round of crossbow arrows, the forwards of the gnolls fell down in rows visible to the naked eye, instead of turning into 'roadblocks' sporadically as in the beginning!
Suddenly, the jackals formed a chaotic charging formation, and a wave of wolves reared up...

"┗|｀O′|┛哩~~哦吼……………"

For the first time, the wolf man's screams overwhelmed the fanatical shouts of killing!
The charging speed of the Jackal was inevitably forced to pause. No matter how brainless the Jackal was, if so many people in front were suddenly tripped, he should know the concept of 'slow down and give way'...

Thus, the decelerated Gnoll warrior once again endured the fourth round of crossbow arrows at close range!
Unarmored targets less than 50 meters away have no resistance to the penetrating power of crossbow arrows. As long as they are not shot at such insignificant places as limbs, they will basically lose their combat effectiveness if they are hit!

Medically referred to as severe penetrating injury...

However, 200 crossbows are too few compared to thousands of wolves sprinting together. The surviving wolves looked around and saw that they were all their own clansmen. After passing the corpse of the same robe, he rushed up!
Within a distance of less than 20 meters, the fifth round of crossbow arrows shot into the wolf man's yelling mouth!

Even well-trained and disciplined teams like the Qin Crossbowmen and Wei Wuzu can still shoot the fifth round of volleys steadily at such a short distance!

However, after the fifth round of salvo, the mission of the crossbow was almost completed. Whether it was the precious Wei soldiers or the Qin hand crossbowmen, they all held their own weapons and shot from behind the Pylos prisoners of war with cannon fodder and spears. Drilled into the gap reserved by the formation, and headed to the second line!
After the 200 soldiers got in, the Pylos spearmen quickly got together under the shouts of their respective commanders and formed a dense phalanx of spears!

Li Si is also holding a spear and standing in the center of the centurion to which he belongs. This position can ensure that he, the team officer, will not go to the sky to receive a lunch box at the beginning of the game, and it can also allow his shouts to be transmitted to the surrounding subordinates as much as possible. In the ears of soldiers!

This is the era when orders are basically based on shouting!

After the Jackal warriors saw the retreat of the crossbowmen who had caused nearly a thousand casualties to their own people, the bloodthirsty light in their eyes became even hotter!
"┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~Ouch!!!"

Puff puff puff... click!
The brave and incompetent gnoll just ran into the spear phalanx of Pylos prisoners of war!

Even the weapons in the hands of many Pylos prisoners of war spearmen were broken by jackals!

At the moment of contact, due to the unorganized and unorganized charge of the gnolls, hundreds of gnoll warriors were indeed stabbed to death and wounded, but the biggest victory of the Pylos prisoners of war was limited to this!

The ferocious wolf man held up various weapons, and using the cover of the corpses of his comrades in front, he slashed down on the Pylos prisoner who had no time to get away!

This is the usual fighting style of the jackals, using huge casualties and brave brainless melee sprints to defeat the tight and neat human phalanx!

Although jackal fighters who are inferior in physical strength and strength to half-orc fighters often suffer heavy losses and gain nothing in front of the real formal human spear phalanx, the regular elite of human beings is a minority after all. The temporary conscripts of the Peasant Spearmen, the Wolf Man is still very bluffing!

At least, a human being with a brain is not as daring as a wolf man with arrears of IQ!

It has to be said that in fighting in the era of cold weapons, low IQ is sometimes an advantage, because the brain is not enough, and the fear of death is naturally much less than that of people with more ideas!

It would be perfect if they reached the state of half-orcs with no brains at all, because in their emotional desire setting, there is no concept of death at all!
The war race created by the orc prophet is terrifying to think about!
Li Si stared helplessly at the front of the hundreds of people. The jackals who were rushed into the phalanx turned into steaming corpses like chopping vegetables and melons. The flames of the devil rushing forward in my heart were extinguished...

The officer of the Centurion in front was the colleague of the former elite spearman who was bragging with him yesterday. Li Si clearly remembered that this strong man nicknamed Dazi bragged about how many people he wanted to kill yesterday. Wolf man, so that he can show his bravery to the sister of the Zhao family in the west of the town, and then come to propose marriage!

As a result, in less than a second, the distance between the head and the body of Dazi, who had the dream of marrying a wife, had exceeded one meter...

"Ahhh!!!" Li Si yelled crazily, not knowing whether he was cheering himself up or venting his fear of facing death!
At least, Li Si still maintained his sense and did not turn around and flee, which was considered qualified!

Under the extreme threat of death, Li Si's motivation to make meritorious service and promotion immediately changed into a motivation to kill the enemy and save his life!

Kill the gnolls on the opposite side and you'll survive!
Li Si repeatedly hypnotized his spirit in his heart. Having been on the battlefield, he knew very well that running away would only expose his defenseless back to the jackals. At that time, he would not even be able to do the most basic death struggle!

In just a few minutes, the Pylos prisoner-of-war spearmen of more than a dozen full-staffed centurions were killed by jackals and could not be found. Under the pressure of the bullet, it was firmly fixed there, so that the collapsed Pylos prisoners in front could not even find space to retreat and escape!
"Kill the enemy! Those who retreat will be executed!"

The heralds riding the horses donated by the Serisians, holding the herald flags with the word "Thunder" written on them, patrolled behind the Pylos spear phalanx, shouting loudly!

Well, the orderly can only shout at the back, the Pylos spearmen in front are fighting for survival!
The Longhan Town team officer buried among the Pylos prisoner-of-war spearmen shouted loudly to kill the enemy and advance, contributing to the stability of the entire spear phalanx!

The frontal resistance of the spear phalanx is undoubtedly the strongest. Even if the wolf man can crush the Pylos prisoner of war spearmen to death on the ground in terms of individual combat power, and rub them back and forth for hundreds of rounds, as long as the spear phalanx as a whole If it doesn't break, the wolf man will use his life to move forward!
"Kill!" Li Si, who was in the middle of the entire spear phalanx, finally ushered in the ferocious wolf man. Li Si was undoubtedly lucky, because the man in front of him obviously slashed too many times and was a little weak signs of...
