Chapter 174: Crushing
The two sides stood still in the middle of the field and set up their own formations, Zhao Yu's side of the rice bucket took the lead, at the front, while the others took him as the core and put on a formation, Arthas took his bow and arrows, and stood behind with Hill and another female gladiator, Arthas's intention was to attack and protect the two girls at the same time.
On the opposite side were four swordsmen with shields forming a shield wall, and four spearmen stood in the gaps, who were responsible for the attack, without shields, except for the spears, which were two throwing spears, and finally two archers.
Commodus stood in the stands and announced the start of the game himself, he was interested in the Carthaginian team, which was the first to use his replacement!
At the beginning of the match, the opposite side showed its strong ranged firepower, with the part-time spearman throwing a quick round of spears, and the archers also shooting the first arrow.
Two of the four spears were blocked by the rice bucket, two were dodged, and the arrows were blocked by the shields of the other gladiators.
After blocking the spear, the rice bucket rushed to the front with his huge shield, and he wanted to crash directly into the shield wall opposite, just like in the big city of Bicete!
The rest of the gladiators followed, covering both sides of the rice bucket, while the Macedonian provincial team held on to their shields and tried to defend and counterattack.
It's a pity that they miscalculated the power of the rice bucket!
The rice bucket with the iron shield ignored the several spears that stabbed him, and slammed into the two shields on the opposite side, and the huge power potential energy obtained from the sprint exploded, and the two sword and shield hands couldn't resist it at all, and the strength of the two of them was like a joke, and the top slid back more than ten steps!
The sword and shield men and the four spearmen on both sides were stunned, and then they were attacked by the follow-up gladiators who rushed in, the sword and shield men were okay, and they could still resist a wave, but the spearmen were miserable, and two of them had just broken their spears and were spanked!
Arthas and Ciel took advantage of the momentum to shoot arrows, the target was the archers who were caught off guard on the opposite side, they were pushed in front of them by the rice bucket, they were already panicking, and they were shooting arrows as they retreated, trying to get away, and the arrows hit them accurately, one in the neck and the other in the leg.
The rice bucket pushed the two sword and shield hands forward, stopped after more than ten steps, the shield in the left hand shook back to the opposite side, the iron spear in the right hand stabbed out, a sword and shield hand wanted to block, but was stabbed to the top of the homeopathic two steps back, and the iron piece in the middle of the wooden shield was also bent.
After stabbing it, the rice bucket blocked the arrows with a shield, picked up the iron spear in his right hand and swept it, and the other sword and shield hand who had just approached him used his shield to resist it, and then the shield couldn't stand the power and shattered.
The unhindered spear broke the left hand of the sword and shield hand, knocking him away, and the shield in his left hand flew out of his hand, like a door panel, and smashed into the bitter force that had just landed, and the iron overweight shield smashed the opponent and vomited blood, and it seemed that he would not survive.
At this time, the two archers were also shot, Arthas began to support the others, so after a while, the spearmen were already dead, Arthas pulled the bow and aimed, and an arrow accurately shot the foot of a sword and shield man, and in pain was caught by the Persian double-sword warrior, and he slashed and cut off the head. (It's the one Zhao Yu let go)
The Macedonian team, which suffered heavy losses, no longer had the ability to resist, and basically the situation of two fighting one could not be turned over at all, so the remaining four people tacitly dropped their weapons and surrendered.
Surrender is a last resort, if you don't surrender, it will definitely be a death, if you surrender, there is still hope to live, the audience cheered excitedly, stood up, shouted execution, all thumbs down!
Commodus looked around from the stands, everyone waiting for his decision, he gave a thumbs up, then pointed down.
Fan Bucket didn't look at those poor gladiators anymore, he couldn't do this kind of thing, but he didn't regret and sympathize with him in his heart, standing on this stage must have the consciousness of death, this is the fate of gladiators, and it is also the meaning of the existence of the Communist Party, life, should not be so despised and played.
In this battle, Zhao Yu's team advanced with zero damage, and the opponent's Macedonian team was twenty people when it came, and I don't know if anyone can go back.
Because the next battle has to wait until five days later, these five days are used to recover for the lightly injured, but it is impossible to have no events in five days, so the eighteen teams that lost have to fight again, and how many people can go back alive is really up to destiny.
Five days passed in a flash, and the eighteen advancing teams gathered in the arena again.
"Not every fight can be fully prepared, and not every battle can be fair, I announce that the second round of the event will be a random equipment and random number battle!" Commodus stood on his viewing platform and announced.
"What kind of trick is this?" Amid the cheers of the audience, Zhao Yu asked Arthas.
"I don't know, I didn't encounter it last time."
Fortunately, the host then announced the rules: "Random equipment, each team can draw two kinds of equipment, each equipment can be held by up to five people, armor is not counted, random number of people, the number of people in each team ranges from five to ten, fate is determined by heaven!" ”
"I'm Cao! You can still play like this! Zhao Yu was shocked: "This special code is more excessive than underground gladiatorial fighting!" ”
Except for a few gladiators, everyone is at the same level, and the equipment and number of people have too much impact on the victory or defeat, such as drawing weapons that can't be used, how to play?
But people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads, and Zhao Yu said Commodus, you just have fun.
The draw was not drawn by the team leader himself, but by the official representative, and Zhao Yu's team was drawn to the team of the province of Cyprus, which was in the third game, and the number of people and equipment would be drawn before the battle began.
The province of Cyprus is located in the eastern Mediterranean, and the population is now mainly Greek, and the fighting force is strong, with only two people lost in the last battle.
In the first two games, one was decent, one side was at a disadvantage, and the inferior one only drew a shield and a bow and arrows, and was slaughtered.
At the beginning of the third game, the two sides entered the preparation area under the introduction of the host, and gave warm cheers to the two teams with excellent performance.
The draw was presided over by His Majesty Commodus as usual, and the first draw was the team of the Cyprus Province, and their team leaders drew two weapons respectively, the chain hammer and the short sword, the luck was okay, the short sword was a compulsory item for every gladiator, and the chain hammer (meteor hammer) was more out of the way, but it was not that no one would use it, and then the number of people was drawn, this time the luck was better, it was nine!
The officials on Zhao Yu's side were forced by Zhao Yu to wash their hands before going up, but it didn't seem to have any effect, and the weapon drew a round shield and a leather whip! One is not aggressive, the other is not used, and few people make weapons for this thing, and the lethality is too low, so there is only one person on Zhao Yu's side who is good at it!
