Chapter 52: Public Enemy Six
Those canned great swordsmen stepped forward without changing their colors in the face of hundreds of crossbow bows that were close at hand, at such a close distance, the two rows of crossbows shot at most one round, compared to the rain of arrows of the previous Zhuge crossbows, these canned great swordsmen were not too afraid of crossbows!
Obviously, these great swordsmen still need to improve their knowledge, and they don't seem to have seen a powerful armor-piercing crossbow!
Well, Li Liguo is very pleased with this!
Hundreds of crossbow arrows roared and rushed towards the oncoming canned swordsmen, these swordsmen are superb in martial arts, they underestimate the crossbow does not mean that they like to let the crossbow arrows shoot at themselves, one by one they still round their two-handed swords to block as much as possible, but unfortunately, more than a dozen canned swordsmen are powerless in the face of hundreds of crossbow arrows!
When~poof......
First there was a piercing sound of metal penetrating, and then there was the 'sound of heaven' of arrows piercing into the flesh, these divine arm crossbows really did not disappoint Li Liguo, and their armor-piercing ability at close range was quite strong!
You must know that the Mongolian elite of that year were all double-layer heavy armor or even 3-layer heavy armor per person, and they talked about the god arm crossbow of the Song army, and rarely faced the Song State's god arm crossbow long-range strike force!
Not to mention these early plate armor?!
Although these plate armor are much better defensive than chain mail, they are actually iron in nature, which is very different from the steel plate armor of the European Renaissance!
One steel and one iron, amateurs may not look much different from the outside, but the difference in defense power is the degree of hehe!
The most critical factor in the complete withdrawal of crossbows from the European battlefield is the proliferation of large-scale steelmaking technology and the decline in the price of steel weapons and armor!
Even though a crossbow has a longer range and more accurate lethality than a flintlock pistol, it is not as good as an old arquebus when the enemy is wearing a pile of steel armor in the front row!
Luckily, the plate armor of these canned great swordsmen is made of iron, and the Divine Arm Crossbow Arrows can easily pierce it!
Li Liguo has been mentally prepared for a long time, if a team of soldiers in steel armor appears in the novice forest, it will be too unbalanced, as long as the physical strength keeps up and is not beaten by others, it is basically an invincible existence......
Oh, by the way, if you are smashed by more than one armor-piercing cold weapon, the person in the tin can may also be stunned and lose combat effectiveness, and it is not impossible to vomit blood and die of shock......
Several stewards were killed in an instant, coupled with Li Liguo's rebellion, which made these mercenaries and guards on the opposite side extra angry, and rushed up with weapons regardless of it, and then suffered heavy casualties under a round of crossbow arrows!
The scene of the canned great swordsmen falling together in front of them is extremely shocking, in the previous battle, these great swordsmen were the core combat power they could win!
And yet, now it's so easy to lie on the ground?!
The soldiers who were alive behind subconsciously slowed down the speed of the charge, and even many people hesitated, there were hundreds of people on the opposite side, and it seemed that the phalanx was also very neat, with powerful crossbows, and they were the strongest in this side, and they knelt down directly, which ......
Those subordinates and servants were already frightened at this time, and they scrambled to flee here, those Zhuge crossbows were quietly abandoned, but there were some soldiers who were loyal to the barony, seeing that the Zhuge Repeater was no longer controlled, their own side instantly became a disadvantage, and they raised their weapons and slashed at the Zhuge Repeater placed on the ground, we can't get it, and we don't let these invaders get it!
"The Greek heavy infantry obeys the order and attacks! All those who resist will not be spared! ”
The Greek hoplites who relined shouted loudly, and after the opponent had no canned swordsmen, their morale had improved a lot, and they rushed forward again!
Those crossbowmen are shooting with precision from the sidelines, disrupting the enemy's formation and disrupting the enemy's resistance!
After the two sides collided again, Li Liguo knew that there was no suspense about the victory in this battle!
The mercenaries and guards, who were small in number and had lost their vital combat power, were suppressed and retreated, and then after the first deserter appeared, they quickly collapsed, and these mercenaries were gone, and there was no point in continuing to fight hard!
It's just that although most of the mercenaries fled, their weapons were still firmly in their hands, and if they encountered soldiers who were chasing after them, they would even turn back with red eyes and fight hard, and no one would surrender again, they had completely lost confidence in Li Liguo's treacherous behavior!
In order to avoid losses, Li Liguo did not pursue the scattered mercenaries who fled, and concentrated his men and horses to wipe out all the guards loyal to the baron, completely occupying the entire lord's mansion!
Li Liguo frowned and looked at the Zhuge Repeater that had been destroyed by nearly half, those guards seemed to hate themselves very much, and they would destroy more Zhuge Repeater if they died, but wouldn't the war be a soldier's tirelessness?
Li Liguo, who was deeply influenced by China's war tradition, was completely unable to understand the spirit of the contract in the Western Middle Ages. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
If you don't tear up the contract, your strength will be greatly damaged, but you won't gain much, which Li Liguo will never allow!
"Ding, the marauder Li Liguo tore up the contract without authorization, and did not kill all the enemy's insiders, from this moment on, over time, the marauder Li Liguo's breach of trust will spread, and because of the consequences of this act, he will be wanted and encircled by all those who have interests in the trade town!
Due to the sudden and long distance of the incident, it took a lot of money to dispatch a large army, and the time of encirclement and suppression was probably after the next war copy of the marauder Li Liguo, please prepare for self-protection of the marauder Li Liguo! ”
There are still more than two weeks left for the next war dungeon, and with such a long preparation time, how many armies will these people have to prepare to encircle and suppress themselves?
Li Liguo felt a faint sadness......
Those subordinates and servants who had no backbone to surrender looked at the soldiers who were guarding them with a look of horror, and felt very unreliable about what they said about surrendering and not killing......
If they hadn't fought these murderous Greek hoplites to the death, they would have resisted long ago!
Wang Zhong looked at the soldiers who were cleaning up the remnants of the Lord's Mansion and blocking the warehouse, and reminded Li Liguo: "General, there are still a lot of scattered mercenary guards and a small number of lucky ones who have not been affected on the outskirts of the town, if you let it go any longer, I am afraid that the small number of soldiers guarding outside will not be able to stop those organized remnants from breaking through!" ”
Li Liguo responded lightly: "I have already got everything I should take, those places with no oil and water and a group of hard-to-bite remnants, just flee, the battle losses in the lord's mansion are very large!" ”
