Chapter 90: Repulsion
"Steady!" Qi Lin roared.
But this sentence is just him shouting at himself, strengthening his courage.
Because neither the spearmen of the Imperial era nor the Rhodok sergeants from the cavalry were unmoved by the oncoming cavalry.
The word fear never seems to manifest itself in them.
"Buzz!"
A second wave of arrows is coming.
Although the Rhodok marksmen were slow to wind their siege crossbows, this was not a problem for the archers who wielded bows. And these fearless foot archers were not affected by these cavalry in the slightest, even if they looked like they were about to break through the line formed by the spearmen in front of them.
Before the Roman cavalry could reach the improvised line of spearmen, the archers completed a second volley.
And this time, because they were closer, the 500 foot archers took a direct shot.
As a result, dozens of Roman cavalrymen who rushed to the front were immediately hit by several arrows with men and horses, rolled to the ground, and then collided with their teammates who rushed up behind them.
Although this could not completely stop the momentum of the cavalry, after such a while, it also slowed down the momentum of this group of cavalry a little, and there was no such momentum as before.
"Poof!"
The tip of the spear pierced the horse's skin and into its chest.
It was the spearmen who saw that the cavalry formation was in disarray and the momentum had slowed down, so they took the initiative to raise their spears to meet them.
In the face of spears from all directions, these cavalrymen with no heavy armor and no shields in their hands could not stop them, and were directly pierced through the body by sharp spears.
However, more spearmen sent their weapons into the bodies of the horses under the opponent's crotch.
Under the severe pain, the war horse man stood up and directly lifted the rider off his back.
This also became a new obstacle for the Roman cavalry to face when charging.
Fallen horses and riders could not do much damage to the cavalry, but they were able to trip over galloping horses.
And the cavalrymen who had fallen off their horses were nothing before the long knives of Sergeant Rhodok.
"Kill!"
Seeing that the opponent's cavalry was blocked, Qi Lin's heart was shocked, and he didn't think much about it, he directly took the shield and held a half-handed sword, and led the Rhodok sergeants to kill.
And he himself rushed directly at a mercenary cavalryman who had just fallen off his horse and had not yet had time to stand up.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, Qi Lin directly struck the other party's head with a shield strike.
The helmet on the mercenary horseman's head was knocked out.
The bridge of his nose collapsed, blood gushed out, and the cavalryman, who had just sat up from the ground and had his head smashed, fainted to death under the impact of this huge force.
But that's not all.
"Poof!"
Qi Lin's right hand holding the sword was sent out, and the sharp half-handed sword instantly pierced the cavalryman's neck, and came out through his body, directly nailing the latter to the ground.
This was the first time that Qi Lin had killed a living person with a cold weapon with his own hands.
However, he didn't feel anything out of the ordinary.
Perhaps it was because of the intense battle that stimulated his nerves and he didn't have time to react.
It could also be for some other reason.
Of course, most likely, Qi Lin actually didn't care at all from the bottom of his heart.
Although in the Hobbit world, he made every excuse not to fight the dwarves and elves, but that was only due to Qi Lin's own preferences.
Because he loves dwarves and elves and doesn't go to war with them, and because he doesn't care about orcs, he can order the Red Police to kill them.
This is Qi Lin.
Although in the Pearl Harbor world, a whole shipload of American imperialist sailors was released because of a moment of mercy, but this is also the trace of good impression that Qi Lin has for the American imperialists because he has watched American imperialist film and television works for many years.
Because of this good feeling, he can let go of a string of prisoners regardless of it, and he doesn't care about them leaking his information, but he doesn't care at all about slaughtering the officers and soldiers of the entire book combined fleet in order to get the ship's mother.
In Superman's Iron Body, he can be oblivious to Kryptonian lieutenant Filao and not care if she punches him.
As for Kryptonian General Zod, he hated it without hesitation, but it was just because he hated the image of the other party in the movie.
Although in this gladiator world, Qi Lin was depressed for several days because of the massacre of more than a hundred innocent villagers.
In fact, it's just that Qi Lin can't really face the truest side of his heart because he is bound by the moral outlook in the real world.
Now, in this battle between blood and iron, Qi Lin's violent feelings that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time seemed to have finally bloomed at this moment with this knife.
"Kill!"
In this movie world, he can not be afraid of death, he can do things according to his own preferences, without scruples.
Because he has the power from the game world, and this power is strong enough for him to rule a world.
However, the power that comes from the game is not invincible, so before this 'power' can fully grow, Qi Lin needs to get rid of the enemies in front of him.
Therefore, it is necessary to stop or even kill these enemy cavalry in front of you.
The spearmen and Rhodok soldiers are loyal to this task.
Even Qi Lin himself, with the help of his body after counting the game, swung the weapon in his hand and rushed into the enemy cavalry who seemed to be trapped by the spearmen and could not escape.
However, Qi Lin was short of manpower at this time, and the Roman cavalry saw that the situation was not good, and desperately slashed and killed several spearmen who blocked the way, and broke out of this weak encirclement.
Drawing his half-handed sword from the corpse at his feet, Qi Lin looked like a swift enemy cavalry moving away, unable to do anything but give in to the archers and Rhodok marksmen to send a few arrows.
The more than 200-meter reconnaissance cavalry that came at a rapid speed only went up and chased for a while, and was hurriedly called back by Qi Lin, for fear that the other party would suddenly turn around and clean up the only remaining cavalry in his hand.
Although he didn't eat the opponent's cavalry, Qi Lin felt a little regretful in his heart, but he was relieved to solve the crisis of the foot archers.
"The foot archers return and continue to put pressure on the front!"
Hearing Qi Lin's order, the five hundred step archers took the order and left, returning to the archers phalanx.
The remaining spearmen were left by him, and the other side sent troops to attack him.
The gaze returns to the combat zone.
At this time, the young soldiers of the first column of Rome were completely lost under the almost perverted attack methods of the imperial soldiers, and most of these young recruits did not even have a chance to wield their weapons.
And the middle-aged soldiers who then joined the battlefield did not turn out to be good.
The continuous rain of arrows devastated them, and the shield hardly dared to let go for a moment, and could only rely on the phalanx to retreat back little by little.
But every time they took a step back, the battle line would be pushed forward by the Imperial soldiers, and the phalanx of foot archers in the distance would follow.
Therefore, no matter how this group of Roman soldiers retreated, they were always within the range of the rain of arrows, which meant that they would have no power to fight back in the face of the imperial soldiers who were not affected by the rain of arrows at all.
