Chapter 70: Unexpected Joy
[ps, I'm sorry, it's so late, but you know, I'm a serious patient with advanced lazy cancer, and I almost won't keep the manuscripts, almost all of them are now updated. Outcome...... I'm late today.
"Damn, since you don't know what to do, then don't blame me for being rude." Listening to the insults coming from the town, Qi Lin's face turned completely dark.
He opened the system mall and exchanged two ladders, and then he shouted to the soldiers beside him with a cold face: "Crossbowmen prepare!" ”
"Crossbowmen! Get ready! As soon as Qi Lin finished speaking, a Rhodok marksman standing beside him repeated his words loudly.
Then, the Rhodok marksman, along with 24 other companions, lined up in front of Qi Lin, his beyond-barred crossbow aimed at the town in the distance.
However, Qi Lin did not rush to let the crossbowmen fire, and turned his attention to the 44 Rhodok sergeants and 30 veteran spearmen.
"Infantry array, shield forward!"
As a result, the 44 robes and chain mail Sergeants of Rhodok suddenly replaced the long-handled broadsword in their hands, pulled out the straight-edged saber pinned to their waists, and at the same time took off the wide shield as wide as the door panel behind them and stood in front of them, putting them together to form a shield wall.
Behind them, the thirty veteran spearmen carefully hid under the shields held high by the sergeants, or carried ladders in small groups, or poked their long knives out of the gaps between the shield walls, and slowly advanced in the direction of the town under the protection of the Rhodok sergeants.
As the infantry phalanx slowly advanced, people began to emerge in front of the town's improvised walls, firing arrows at the group of Vidocq soldiers.
And Qi Lin finally ordered the group of marksmen again at this time:
"Put!"
A simple syllable came out of his mouth, and the sharpshooters who applied for the formation immediately pulled the trigger.
"Buzz!"
The bolts of steel whizzed through the air in a beautiful row, and then descended on the heads of the Romans at the top of the city almost in the blink of an eye.
"Poof!"
"Ahh
The sound of steel crossbows smashing into flesh came and went, and the invective disappeared in an instant, replaced by a scream that permeated people.
However, there were only 25 crossbowmen, which was still too small, and even if these sharpshooters were amazingly accurate, after a round of shooting, they only took down six or seven enemies, and it was not certain that they were directly killed, or if those people were only slightly wounded.
But what is certain is that after a round of shooting, the opponent's bow and arrow also recovered after a pause.
Sharp arrows "clanged" into the shield, but they could not hurt the group of Rhodok soldiers in the slightest.
A few seconds later, a second wave of crossbow bolts descended, and the city was instantly quiet again.
Faced with the unoffensive resistance of the Romans, the Rhodok infantry quickly came to the bottom of the city, and two ladders were quickly erected on the wall, which was only three or four meters high.
The Romans at the head of the city heard the movement and quickly got up from behind the city walls to push the ladder down, but in the face of the Rhodok marksman, who had already been targeted, this action only hastened their death.
"Poof!"
After a flurry of crossbow bolts, no one dared to show their heads out of the city.
Looking at Sergeant Rhodok, who easily attacked the city and quickly gained a foothold, Qi Lin's mood was also unprecedentedly relaxed.
To be honest, before this, Qi Lin was really worried.
Although the defenders at the head of the city looked like they were all improvised militias formed in the town, it seemed that even the equipment was a mess, some were wearing armor, and some were shirtless, and they were shirtless.
But who knows if there will be a lot of gladiators here.
You must know that whether it is in this movie or in the American drama Spartacus that Qi Lin has watched before, the gladiator profession is very perverted, and can even be called a bug-level character, almost every one of them is a one-to-many character.
Even under the leadership of the protagonist, the gladiators seem to grow exponentially, and it is as effortless to face a regular Roman army that is several times their size.
And the group of Rhodok sergeants in Qi Lin's hands, although they are considered the top troops in the cavalry and slashing, and the ability of siege warfare is also one of the best, but after all, since they came to this world, these soldiers have not fought anyone, and there is no way to know how effective they are.
So now that he saw that the battle situation in the city was very smooth, Qi Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the defenders were nothing more than a group of improvised militia, and there were even many slaves who had been forcibly pulled over.
Facing this group of fierce Sergeant Rodok, looking at the stumps and broken arms lying at the feet of the other party, this group of slaves who basically had no will to fight, in the persuasion shouted by Qi Lin, they did not hesitate to put down the weapons in their hands and obediently knelt on the ground.
"You go back and let the rest of the people come over with supplies, and the others will follow me into the city!" Looking at the open gate in the distance, Qi Lin said to a sharpshooter standing beside him, and then with a wave of his hand, he took the lead in running towards the town.
……
"What's going on?"
As soon as I walked into the gate of the town, the system, which had not seen any movement for a few days, suddenly popped up a prompt window.
[You own a town, now activate the Age of Empires game system!] 】
"Age of Empires? What the heck? Why did it suddenly pop out of the Age of Empires? ”
Qi Lin looked at the system pop-up window with a surprised expression, "The system is convulsive again?" ”
opened the system in confusion, but Qi Lin found that the interface had changed again.
"This Nima is my computer desktop, right?" Qi Lin thought speechlessly.
Although this interface does not have as many icons on his computer desktop, and there is no such thing as a start menu, Qi Lin thinks that this theme will not be mistaken.
At this time, there are several game icons quietly placed on this desktop, and these icons are the same games that Qi Lin played when he traveled through the movie.
It's just that the icons of the games played in other movie worlds are all gray, but there are two, which are exactly the same as the game icons on Qi Lin's computer.
And these two icons are the horseback riding and slashing and the Age of Empires that Qi Lin played before crossing this movie.
"But didn't I play riding and slashing when I crossed? How could it be...... Wait, is it because of ......? ”
Qi Lin suddenly thought that before crossing over, although he was playing riding and slashing, it seemed that the Age of Empires had not been turned off.
"Is that why?" Qi Lin guessed, and then muttered with tears and laughter, "This is too bloody, right?" ”
But that's also good, it seems that my own development can be faster.
Clicking on the Age of Empires icon, a screen that looked similar to the one in the game appeared in front of Qi Lin's eyes.
The reason why it seems to be similar is because this interface is actually very different from the one in the game, but at first glance, it is basically the same as the interface in the game, but this interface looks a little more gorgeous.
But it didn't help.
