Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 276: Pit kill

Under the threat of bright swords, more than 300 prisoners of war cleared the battlefield very quickly. In less than half an hour, more than a thousand corpses on the battlefield were thrown into the burial pit. Due to follow-up restrictions, the legion Nearly five hundred soldiers who died in the battle were not able to enjoy cremation. They could only use earth burials, and put a simple wooden cross in front of their graves as the tombstones of these devout Christians.

After these were completed, the prisoners of war who thought they had completed the task received an order to dig another big pit. Although they were puzzled by this order, they could only do so due to the threat of swords. Some of them seemed to smell the faint murderous aura in the air, and a trace of anxiety appeared in their hearts.

After dozens of minutes, a large pit large enough to hold more than three or four hundred people was finally dug, and these prisoners also ushered in their final ending. Seeing that the mission was completed, these prisoners breathed a sigh of relief and set off one after another, and they were about to climb up from the edge of the pit.

However, before they could climb up, there was an offensive horn on the ground. The horn was low and long, resounding through the sky. Hearing this horn, the expressions of the prisoners in the pit changed drastically. They had fought with the Winsters. Know that this is the horn used by the enemy when attacking!

Ta Ta Ta-

As soon as the trumpet sounded, all the heavily armored sergeants and the walking imperial knights marched in formation, slowly surrounding the big pit. As the soldiers moved forward, the sound of armor and weapons rubbing against each other merged together. It was extremely harsh, and the air was full. The murderous air, dark clouds enveloped the sky.

Listening to the sound from the ground, even fools could see the intention of the Winsters. The prisoners of war were shocked. They did not expect that the people who were hostile to them would do such savage things, especially those ten. Several nobles, their faces paled with fright, their legs trembling, and they almost couldn't stand firmly.

Everyone’s hearts are filled with despair. The big pit they dug is a grave for themselves. Although the tools have not been taken away, how can these piercing tools counterattack Winster, who has just experienced the vigorous and talented fighters of the evil fighters? The slaughter of people?

Suppressed by the heavy emotions, angry curses, roars, screams, and crying soon sounded from the crowd. These sounds intertwined and echoed in the grave prepared for them. Listening to the various sounds coming out of the pit, the advancing soldiers were expressionless. It is impossible for them to produce compassion for these enemies. In their eyes, the prisoners of war in the pit are the same as the livestock.

Ta Ta Ta-Boom!

After a neat stepping sound, the scene fell silent for an instant, and then, as the prisoners watched uneasyly, a long howl tore through the short silence. Benedis, who was in charge of the command, screamed up to the sky and roared: "Hold up the shield, ready to fight!" The soldiers who were still stained with blood put their shields in front of them, and the heavily armored sergeants with spears carried the kite. The tip of the bottom of the large shield is inserted into the soil, the body is slightly tilted, and the spear is placed in the gap between the shield and the shield, pointing in the direction of the tilt of the big pit, their eyes are cold, as if they are looking at a group of dead people!

When this happened, the prisoners of war also accepted their upcoming destiny. They were not reconciled and looked at the dozen or so nobles. In their eyes, the nobles were the best leaders. However, they were disappointed because of In their eyes, those noble lords who had high hopes were looking at the enemy above their heads shiveringly, with no blood on their faces, like mourning dogs.

There is no shortage of courageous and courageous people in this world. These prisoners of war are no exception. After seeing the weak and incompetent faces of the nobles, one of them who is still wearing armor comes forward, watching these unwilling to be taken. The robe of the massacre, raising the shovel in his hand, roared: "The Winsters want to kill us. We can't just die like this. Think about the relatives who are waiting for us to go back at home. We must go back alive! Brothers! , Pick up the tools in your hands and rush up to fight the Winsters!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"For the loved ones at home, rush!"

The motivated prisoners roared and raised the tools in their hands and rushed up the inclined slope. Their eyes were red because of anger, and their momentum was like a rainbow, but they died in vain!

The soldiers on the ground did not expect that this group of prisoners of war would actually come to break through the wave. After a little bit of a daze, they quickly recovered their calmness, squeezed their shields and weapons, and aimed them at the climbing prisoners. At this moment, Benedes gave an order, and civilian crossbowmen stepped forward, standing behind the first row of soldiers with the wounded crossbow machine, and they raised the crossbow machine and aimed at the climbing prisoner of war. , Then pull the trigger.

In the next moment, the buzzing sound like the grin of death soon sounded. Hundreds of crossbow bolts flew over the shield and into the pit, shooting a large number of the climbing prisoners. When the deadly bolts penetrated the body or body of the prisoner, The blood that squirted out like a fountain almost stained the soil red, and the **** scene stimulated the nerves of other prisoners of war. Many of them woke up in an instant, and no longer had the previous impulse.

After the first round of the salvo, the civilian crossbowmen quickly retreated, leaving their place for the next group of comrades in arms, and they continuously fired the crossbow into the pit. The sound of the crossbow arrow breaking through the air was constantly heard. No one knew if one shot would hit him. A prisoner of war who was climbing saw a person next to him accurately hit the door by the crossbow arrow. , The man was immediately picked up by the strength of the crossbow arrow, his body leaned back, and then rolled into the bottom of the pit. Blood splashed out from his front door, leaving a scarlet mark all the way~lightnovelpub.net~ Under the long-range shooting of civilian crossbowmen, the group of prisoners who charged desperately just because of the motivation of one person quickly collapsed. They screamed and ran behind them, but collided with the people who rushed up behind. The scene was chaotic. Many people who could not dodge were knocked down and knocked over, and were stepped on the ground by others, screaming in pain.

"Keep shooting, free shooting!"

Rounds of deadly rain of arrows flew into the pit, and the prisoners inside fell in pieces. Their livers and guts were cracked, and they had no idea of ​​resistance. When the rain of arrows stopped, the entire pit was filled with the bodies of prisoners of war. , No one could rush to the ground. Most of them were shot down on the way to the charge. In the huge pit, the only sounds that could be heard were the painful wailing and sobbing of the wounded.

"All buried."

Benedis commanded expressionlessly. Then, the soldiers put down their weapons and shields, picked up tools and shoveled dirt into the pit. The scattered dirt covered the blood-stained bodies of the prisoners and also the wounded The wailing is buried in the underground world.

After dozens of minutes, the big hole was filled and everything was so peaceful, as if such a massacre had never happened.
