The former gladiators didn't care about life and death, and Gonzhas didn't care about the lives of his men, but Lao Luo couldn't help but care about the lives of these combat slaves, not only because they were bought by Lao Luo from Soratinok, but also because he wanted these experienced warriors to become the guardians of his followers in the future.

The weight of the special iron-tire bow in Lao Luo's hand is about less than 20 kilograms, and the tension of the bowstring made of mixed animal tendons is about 300 kilograms, almost more than 700 catties, which is equivalent to at least six stones in the east of this era. Starting from the archers to retreat, the cavalry closest to the charge was about ninety meters away from the sword and shield soldiers in the first row, and according to the speed of the cavalry assault, it took about five seconds to cover the ninety meters.

How to slow down the pace of the cavalry? Lao Luo fired his bow in succession in these five seconds, and shot ten arrows almost instantly. His archery skills were cultivated in the steppe as a child, and in this era, his physique has undergone earth-shaking changes, and if it is placed in the glorious period of the Mongols' westward expedition, it is never a problem to get the title of Jebe.

Once his iron arrow is shot, whether the other party is wearing armor or not, it must be pierced, not to mention that Lao Luo is aiming at most of the head or neck, under the huge impact, the person who is hit by the arrow will immediately fall backwards, and it is impossible to continue to lie on the back of the horse.

The people in front of them flipped one after another, and the horses that followed behind them could not avoid the obstacles in front of them, and in an instant, the horse team began to roll over their horses.

The moment Lao Luo's arrow was shot, Gonzas was stunned for a second, and then immediately reacted, the only one in this team who was not commanded was Lao Luo, the master, the master's arrows were fierce, and he stopped the hard collision between the sword and shield soldiers and the cavalry, then, Gonzas's response was also very fast, and he began to shout loudly, "The sword and shield soldiers are stationed in place, the two wings attack, the horizontal chisel pierces, the archers shoot directly, and shoot freely!" ”

It's very verbose to say, in fact, it's only a matter of ten seconds, the archers who have just stabilized their retreat got a new order, and they directly began to shoot directly, and now there is a lively look, the cavalry team was slowed down by Lao Luo's arrows, and the cavalry team was immediately shot by the archers who stopped and shot directly, and the riders led by Naga and Mnachi on both sides ran up, and the horizontal chiseling means dividing the opponent into several parts, and then surrounding them, which is the fastest way to win more with less. At the same time, the divided cavalry has no speed, and the cavalry without speed is no different from the infantry. When it comes to starting battles, who were these former gladiators afraid of?

Since Lao Luo made a move, he didn't plan to stop again, of course, this small-scale battlefield was still a testing ground for combat slaves, he didn't plan to take out a long knife to charge and kill, but just sat on the tall back of the black cloud, looking down on the whole field with his height, acting as a free man on the battlefield.

Of course, Lao Luo's role as a free man on the battlefield is too great, and his arrows basically have no air shots, and every time an iron arrow is shot, the opponent will always be loaded upside down. The news that Alker had detected that the other party was carrying a bow and arrows was actually correct, but the guy who had no choice but to lead was really an arrogant idiot, and he didn't know the opponent's reality at all, just a blind charge, and he didn't have the opportunity and time to lift the bow and shoot the arrow.

You must know that the archers at this time are basically fighting on foot, or archers who use horses to walk, but they also basically wait for the horses to stop and bend the bow to shoot arrows. The concept of mounted archery, or the rank of archers, came after the Mongols, and the reason for this is difficult to verify, but it is generally believed that the herders' skills in driving cattle and sheep or fighting steppe wolves during grazing evolved from their skills.

These city defense cavalry in front of them obviously do not have this function.

The riders on both sides of the team, under the leadership of Naga and Mnachi, accelerated their assault and divided the ranks of more than 300 cavalry into three sections.

In fact, these Smyrna cavalry teams were really scattered, they didn't even have a sharp arrow formation when they attacked, but because of the different quality of the horses, they naturally widened the distance, and the swarm of swarm impacts caused their ranks to stretch very long, and met Naga, a fierce hammer man, plus Mnachi with a long-handled hook and sickle, and behind the two were fierce former gladiators, under this abrupt attack, the city defense cavalry for the purpose of robbery lost their courage at once.

The Smyrna cavalry, having lost their speed, became lambs to the slaughter in the blink of an eye, and the rest of the time was basically garbage time, time to clean up the garbage.

Lao Luo has no feelings for the Holy Mother, nor does he have any compassion for the heavens and mercy, since these people dare to come out to rob for no reason, that is the way to die, pity them, so who will pity the merchants who were robbed by them in the past?

The strong sword and shield soldier did not stay in place and rushed forward, the scimitar or mace in the right hand was a weapon, and the huge shield in the left hand was also a weapon. The guys who can lift chest-length high shields are basically muscular people, not to mention scimitar slashing people, and the huge high shield is also good for shooting people.

The weaker archers also retracted their bows, and not only did they have bows and arrows on their arms, but they also had no shortage of scimitars and maces.

Not to mention the team of riders who charged and slashed people, in a few minutes, all the opponents on horseback were knocked off the horseback, Naga this hammer man is as fierce as ever, and the opponent is rarely able to withstand the force of his blow, Mnachi also retains the style of fighting in East Africa, blood is splashed under the swing of the hook and sickle spear left and right, and he is gone, and the people who follow him are not weak, they are all good at surviving in the gladiatorial arena, how can they be afraid to face such a scene?

Of course, Lao Luo's team is also soft-hearted, that is, Al Heisien and Li Zhan, Zhang Lu and others who stayed at the back of the team, and Li Ji is also one of them.

Al Heisi was unbearable, but she understood that Lao Luo had a reason for doing things.

Li Zhan and Zhang Lu are because they are only the leaders of the artisan battalion, not professional soldiers, and Zhang Lu is a descendant of Confucianism, but they are not qualified to speak in front of Lao Luo, because these killed guys are robbers who came to attack, and Lao Luo is not really their junior.

Only Li Ji didn't want the man he fell in love with to to be a reckless man who only knew how to kill, so he caught up with his horse, stopped Lao Luo's side, and pointed ahead with a horsewhip, "Third brother, can you tell them to stop?" ”

There was no suspense in the battle in front of him, and it was no longer worth his attention, Lao Luo hung the iron tire bow on Heiyun's back, and turned his head to see a snow-white pretty face, "Siniang, are you scared?" ”

"No, I'm not afraid!" Li Ji shook her head a little stubbornly, "I just think they have failed, why don't you forgive them?" ”

Lao Luo looked at Li Ji, and saw Li Zhan, Zhang Lu, Al Heisien and others who came forward one after another, and said quietly: "El, Uncle Zhan, Uncle Longping, what do you think?" ”

"San Lang, God has the virtue of a good life, and it is not a good thing to kill more." Li Zhan said a little lonely.

The rest of the people didn't speak, although El Heisien didn't understand Li Zhan's language very well, but he could vaguely guess the meaning of Li Zhan's words, and he also nodded to Lao Luo.

Shaking his head, Lao Luo carefully looked at the expressions of the people around him, "If we pity and forgive them, then who will pity the people who were looted and killed by them before?" ”

Lao Luo's words were spoken in Greek, and the people around him could basically understand them, and Li Ji was the same, but she was a little unwilling to say in Greek: "However, we have already won, forgive them as the virtue of the superior." ”

"Yes, we won. But what if we lose? What will happen? Siniang, have you thought about it? Lao Luo looked at Li Ji's little face that was frightened by blood, and watched her expression become more and more silent, and the people around her also fell into deep thought.

Li Ji is a fire girl, destined to be different from others, she looked up at Lao Luo and said: "But third brother, your manpower is very strong, forgive a few undead, and accept them as slaves to atone for their sins." ”

"Siniang, let's not say that we can't distinguish their faults, and we don't have time to waste on them, let alone ......" Lao Luo's head shook even more, pointing to the Smyrna cavalry who were killed in the distance, "Most of them have been killed, if we take in some people, how can we tell the relationship between the people who are taken in and the people who are killed, and keep the people with ill intentions to take revenge on us in the future?" ”

"Then let them go, with this time, they won't dare to do it again." Li Ji said unwillingly.

"Siniang, let them go and then harm others? Besides, if we let them go, and they go back to Smyrna to tell the news, and the governor of Smyrna sends men after us? What to do? "Moreover, if we lose, they will not pity us, and will only sell the undead as slaves." Who will pity us then? ”

Now no one around spoke, even the four female men who followed the escort Li Ji all looked red-eyed, obviously they also had an unbearable past, but Lao Luo didn't want to ask - uncovering the scars of other people's past is not a kind act.

Ignoring the crowd, Lao Luo knocked the black cloud on the abdomen, the tall black cloud began to move forward, the battle had basically stopped, some battle slaves in the vicinity were checking the guys who were not dead or pretending to be dead, and in the distance Alke was surrounding the lost horses with a few scouts.

Jumping off the horse, Lao Luo came to a guy who was obviously dressed differently from everyone else, this guy was obviously dressed as a nobleman of the Byzantine Empire, his left chest had an iron arrow of Lao Luo pierced on it, and the position of his arms and legs was very awkward, it was estimated that it had been broken.

Gonzas ran from a distance, got down on one knee when he got close, bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your master's mercy, Gonzas will be his master's eternal follower." ”

There were also a few obviously strong guys behind him, kneeling in front of Lao Luo in the same posture as Gonzhas, and saying similar things in their mouths. Lao Luo is a little strange, what's wrong with these guys? Reaching out to help Gonzhas up, "What's wrong with you?" Get up and speak! ”

The big guy Gonzas was obviously not used to kneeling, so he got up and told slowly, and Lao Luo understood that the soldiers at this time were either alive or dead on the battlefield, and basically they had to fight hard if they didn't want to die on the battlefield, and only by working hard could they have a chance to survive.

They have long seen death, and the sword and shield hands who lined up in front of them just now are basically like this - being impacted by the high-speed running war horses, there is little chance to save their lives, standing in the first row is almost a certain death, but Lao Luo's arrows have solved this problem, his iron arrows have a strong impact, so that the cavalry team receives obstacles in advance and falls to the ground, and the sword and shield hands do not have to worry about the impact of the war horses.

What a lucky thing it was to be able to save his life in a certain death, and the sword and shield men in the first row just now were basically Thracians, and Gonzhas's thanks were for them.
