Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Under the sound of radical war drums, the Pylos prisoner of war camp and the Seris Revival Army in the front row were told that the Pylos people in Argos City were unrepentant, and the Governor was angry and promised to have a three-day and three-night carnival after taking Argos City!

For the Pylos POW camp, which has no faith, looting and beeping may be the only effective way to boost morale, and this group of ruthless warriors with the blood of Pylos's fellow tribe on their hands is left with the expectation of being drunk today and drunk tomorrow!

With the order of the carnival for three days and three nights, a series of more detailed military merit and material reward policies have also reached the ears of every soldier through layers of officers!

For example, what promotions will there be for the first person to climb the city wall, what additional rewards will be obtained, and the slave girl will still be white bread or something......

The most joyful thing is that Lei Zihao promised that whoever killed the commander of Pylos wearing a feathered helmet at the head of the city would be rewarded to him...... A grain of pepper!

The sky is above, this is a pepper comparable to the same volume of gold!

The most important thing is that pepper is edible, while gold is not......

You know, most people in this world don't know what pepper tastes like all their lives......

In fact, these incentives have been circulating in the law of Lei Zihao's army, and most soldiers more or less understand the content of military exploits, but even if these are things that the big guys understand, such a shout before the battle can also achieve a significant morale boost!

This is why when the old society was fighting, the commanders liked to sprinkle a box of gold and silver belongings on the ground before the battle, and this way of agitation before the battle was very effective!

As the big-headed soldiers in the TV series said, 'My life is gone, what do I need money for?' This kind of is pure!

If the illiterate little soldier Gazi in ancient times had such a high ideological consciousness, could he still come to join the army?

Is it true that in ancient times, defending the country could make the people work hard?

Let's not forget that in later generations, there will be deserters and traitors in the armies armed with the powerful ideology of international working classism!

To put it bluntly, in ancient times, when fighting a war, one of the biggest motivations for being a soldier was to loot, and the other was to be able to snap all kinds of women unscrupulously when they were victorious, and they didn't have to be responsible!

In ancient times, there were not many military salaries, and they were often paid empty by their superiors!

This is also the reason why in ancient times, the cost of armies to go to the battlefield was much higher than the maintenance cost on weekdays!

Fortunately, Lei Zihao's main force is all the benefits provided by the all-out war system, as long as you eat, shelter, and be full!

The Seris Revival Army soldiers, cheered by the Captain and other junior officers, worked together to push the ladder cart with wheels underneath, while the Pylos prisoner of war camp and other Seris Revival Army soldiers were holding improvised wooden shields to open the way in front!

When more than a dozen ladder cars were pushed over, a trace of fear appeared in the depths of Commander Pilos's eyes, the battle between the city-states of Pyros was played in the mode of covenant battle, that is, the two sides agreed on an open area to play field battles!

How can there be such an advanced siege ladder on wheels?

However, the war had already begun, and it was either him or I would die, and Commander Pylos swung his sword frantically and shouted at the enemy troops who came into range: "Shoot arrows!! ”

Whoosh~~~

An ordinary wooden bow and arrow shot a hundred paces away with the height of the earthen wall!

Where can the wooden shields used to comfort the Pylos prisoner of war camp and the Seris Revival Army withstand the overwhelming rain of arrows?

The Pylos prisoner of war camp in the front row and a small number of Seris soldiers were killed and wounded hundreds at once!

It's just a rain of arrows!

As the distance approaches, the Pylos archers on the earthen wall will shoot more and more accurately, and there is no telling how many people will die by then!

Seeing the heavy casualties in the Pylos Prisoner of War Camp, Li Si's hand holding the sword couldn't help but tighten a little, and sighed in his heart: "Your Excellency the Governor has noticed the lack of fighting spirit in the Pylos Prisoner of War Camp, and plans to bury it as cannon fodder under the city of Argos!" ”

However, even cannon fodder could not be meaninglessly killed by the arrows of the Pylos, and when the Pylos archers at the head of the city began to shoot openly, the serious archers hiding behind the ladder cart finally advanced into effective range and began to fight back against the Pylos archers at the head of the city!

Lei Zihao's archers do not use longbows and recurve bows with powerful range, and they are not much different from the bows and arrows of the Pylos in terms of technical level, but they are more refined and reliable!

As soon as the skilled archers approached the earthen wall of Argos, under the orders of officers of all ranks, they immediately launched a rapid and dense fire!

The rain of arrows in the sky suddenly suppressed the archers of the Pylos!

Commander Pylos didn't expect that the Seris would directly invest thousands of elite archers!

The training of an archer is far more difficult than that of a crossbowman, and it takes at least several years of training to truly master the use of bows and arrows, and this is just the use of bows and arrows, and it takes extra time to train them as a formed army!

Therefore, everyone knows the benefits of archers, but in the hands of lords everywhere, the number of real archers is not much, after all, there are not many lords who can support a large number of archers for training in a few years!

This is also the reason why crossbows were popular in ancient China during the Warring States Period!

Compared to a crossbowman who can become an army after a few months of training, the archer training cycle is too long!

The rise of crossbowmen is not due to their range and rate of fire, but to their cheap and fast training costs and superior armor-piercing ability!

Of course, for fishing, hunting and nomadic peoples, it is much easier to recruit archers, because the children of such peoples, who have been exposed to bows and arrows since childhood, can pull out thousands of strong men who control the strings as long as the leaders recruit strong men at will among the herdsmen!

This is also the reason why the nomads will cause great turmoil to the Central Plains Dynasty when they claim to be 100,000 people who control the strings, not that the Central Plains Dynasty can't muster an army of 100,000, but that they want to train 100,000 peasants into 100,000 archers, and they will go bankrupt......

This is also a natural advantage of nomads!

Obviously, the people of Pylos do not have the tradition of playing bows and arrows from an early age, so the number of archers is not very large, even if they shoot arrows condescendingly, they are suppressed by Lei Zihao's archers!

The Pilos archers are not stupid, and after seeing the opponent's archers who can cause damage to themselves pressing up, they naturally began to fight back against Lei Zihao's archers!

The pioneer who pushed the ladder truck suddenly reduced the pressure!

Soon, the ladder cart was pushed under the earthen wall several meters high, and the remnants of the Pylos prisoners of war and the Seris Revival Army, under the cover of their own archers, hurriedly began to erect the ladder, as long as the ladder successfully drove to the top of the city, the people behind could continue to climb the city!
