rise of empire total war

Chapter 282
Under the threat of bright swords, more than 300 prisoners of war cleared the battlefield very quickly. In less than half an hour, more than a thousand corpses on the battlefield were thrown into the burial pits. Due to the restrictions on follow-up actions, many members of the regiment were killed in action. The nearly five hundred soldiers were not able to enjoy cremation and could only be buried in the ground, and a simple wooden cross was erected in front of their graves as tombstones for 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.

Ten minutes later, a large pit big enough to accommodate more than 10 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 could climb up, an attack horn sounded on the ground. The horn was low and distant, resounding throughout the sky. When they heard this horn sound, the expressions of the prisoners of war in the pit changed greatly. They had fought against the Winsters. You know, this is the horn used by the enemy when attacking!

Tread-tap-

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 murderous 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's hearts are filled with despair. The big hole they dug is the grave prepared for themselves. Although the tools have not been taken away, how can these armor-breaking tools fight back against the fierce and elite Winston who has just experienced the evil warrior? Massacre of people?

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 are cold, as if they are 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 are many courageous people in this world, and these prisoners of war are no exception. After seeing clearly the weak and ugly faces of the nobles, one of them, still wearing armor, stepped forward. He looked at these people who were unwilling to be The massacred Paoze raised the shovel in his hand and roared angrily: "The Winsters want to kill us, we can't die like this, think about our relatives at home waiting for us to go back, 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 inspired prisoners of war roared and raised the tools in their hands and rushed up the inclined slope. Their eyes were red with anger and their momentum was like a rainbow, but they were dying in vain!

The soldiers on the ground did not expect that this group of prisoners of war would come and break out. After being stunned for a while, they quickly regained their composure, gripped the shields and weapons in their hands, and aimed at the prisoners who climbed up.At this moment, Benidis gave an order, and civilian crossbowmen stepped forward one after another, standing behind the first row of soldiers with their loaded crossbows. They raised their crossbows and aimed at the climbing prisoners of war. , and then pulled the trigger.

The next moment, a buzzing sound like the grinning god of death quickly sounded. Hundreds of crossbow bolts flew over the shields into the pit, killing the climbing prisoners of war in large numbers. When the fatal crossbow bolts penetrated the limbs or bodies of the prisoners of war, The blood that spewed out like a fountain almost dyed the soil red. The bloody scene stimulated the nerves of 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 fired the crossbow arrows into the pit without interruption.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 fire!"

Rounds 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 corpses of the prisoners of war, and the wounded wailing buried in the underworld.

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