Hearing that a Han Chinese was about to play, all the audience were excited.
Although the name is a personal battle, the first few rounds are not placed in the challenge arena for one-to-one single challenge, that is, 30 people come to a big scuffle. In each round, only the last winner of the scenic spot, and only the winner of each round will carry out single challenge.
There are more than 600 people participating in the competition, that is, at least 20 rounds of scuffle... In fact, 22 rounds of scuffle.
The winner of each round of the scuffle needs to draw again. It seems fair to decide the opponent by drawing lots, but in fact, there are ways to carry out various operations, but the Han side has nothing to say.
In the cheers, a new group of participants came to the ground of the arena from the elevator. Like the previous group of members, they had a great distance between themselves.
With a "toot toot" trumpet sounded, the close competitive participants began to fight.
"What's that?"
"I don't know. It looks... Gorgeous?"
Zhang duo and Huang Li are participants in this round. They don't wear Han Army armor. In fact, they prefer warrior matching.
The so-called warrior supporting facilities in Zhuxia are very complex. In the early days, they were usually close fitting strong clothes, but in fact there were no protective armor. In today's stage of national martial arts, the fundamental reason is that the smelting technology has been developed. The basic reason is that people who can fight basically have the experience of joining the army, and the habit of wearing armour has become popular among the people.
The national color of the Han Dynasty is red. The robes in the armor of Zhang duo and Huang Li are naturally red. The armor is a key metal material. Most of the positions are made of leather. You can also see the parts of the iron ring interlocking armor. All the metals are wiped smooth, and the sunlight reflects the light, giving a gorgeous visual feeling.
"The outer layer is light armor, and there is a layer of plate armor inside. The total weight is about 20 kg." Cai Mian's eyes have been moving back and forth on Zhang duo and Huang Li. He said relatively easily, "there is no need to defend arrowheads. A layer of lock armour has been removed."
There's a layer of plate armour in it? In fact, it's not the real plate armor. It's nothing more than adding a layer of protection to the vulnerable part. If you think in a deceitful direction, you can use the weakness deliberately exposed by the outer layer of armor to attract attacks. In fact, there are guaranteed defenses inside.
The weight of 20 kg is nothing to Zhang duo and Huang Li, who are used to wearing armor of about 50 kg. Even with the dagger and crossbow at the waist, the shield of the left hand and the sword of the right hand, there is no great burden on the weight.
They were close to each other while fighting. Until they were back-to-back, they had killed six gladiators together.
The gladiators were originally aimed at the Han people. The fighting between the gladiators was pretentious, and even caught the fighting gladiators. When they found the Han people close, they changed the attack object.
It's so obvious that people who are not blind and have no paralysis can see it.
At this moment, the audience chose to ignore it. Their cheers will only appear when the gladiators attack the Han people, and abuse is when the gladiators who attack the Han people are killed.
Zhang duo patted a gladiator with the shield of his left hand, stabbed the sword, stabbed the other neck, and asked in a hurry, "how many crossbows do you have?"
Huang Li didn't have time either. The shield prevented a spear from stabbing and the sword from flying. He also hurriedly replied, "Twelve rounds."
The next moment, the two had to get away from each other. It was a battle axe that screamed and was hit.
Their dodge action was to roll. They were forced up by a group of gladiators without getting up from the ground.
In the face of the siege, they chose the same choice. The shield protected their head. The sword in their hands was swung round and swept with their squatting body. The sound of the intersection between metals was very clear, and the metal cleaved the body and made a "poof" sound.
The audience saw a picture that two Han people cut off the blades of most gladiators with their swords, and several too eager gladiators broke their legs when the two Han people swept with their swords.
Zhang duo and Huang Li, who lifted the crisis, suddenly abandoned their shields. The next moment, they picked up the crossbow at their waist and kept firing at the gladiators.
The hand crossbow doesn't have a long range. In fact, if it exceeds 20 meters, it doesn't have much power. However, it can break armor within seven meters with three edged arrowheads.
Zhang duo and Huang Li kept pulling the trigger to launch crossbows and arrows. Most of them were aimed at the head of gladiators. Only when they threatened themselves would they choose to shoot some trunk.
"If they can target, we can use the crossbow." Seeing that the number of people who could stand on the court was decreasing, Cai Mian said without concealing his contempt: "Mian doesn't believe that the armor made by the people of the Qin Dynasty can prevent crossbows within five meters."
The hand crossbow is the weakest of all crossbows, but its existence still belongs to black technology. Even after previous generations of firearms are put into use, it is still a powerful close combat long-range weapon.
There was no crossbow in the standard weapons of the Han army. The crossbow was actually the special equipment of the palace guards. Liu Yan ordered people to send 50 crossbows before Wang Meng set out. The loading capacity of each crossbow was 15 rounds. After shooting, the arrow box can be changed quickly. At present, it is really a real black technology.
The arena, which had been filled with loud cheers and abuse, gradually quieted down. What the audience saw was that the gladiators were shot to the ground one after another by the Han people with unknown long-range weapons. For a time, they lost their voice.
Huang Li and Zhang duo didn't deliberately leave the Gladiator's hand blade with a melee weapon. After shooting over the last Gladiator, they didn't even talk. They silently repaired the key positions of the dead or undead gladiators lying on the ground one by one, and also took back the launched crossbows and arrows.
"They..." gallus swallowed a mouthful of water and asked with less certainty, "did you commit a foul?"
The early competitive fighting was unclear. Anyway, the gladiators in the back arena have never seen the existence of long-range weapons.
In fact, it's a simple thing. Many arenas are not big enough to use long-range weapons. Another reason is that most of the gladiators are slaves captured by the Romans, or they become gladiators only when they are not tolerated by the authorities (a senior official or something). Who dares to equip the gladiators with long-range weapons and is not afraid that the gladiators are aiming at themselves? Therefore, it is the gladiators who do not use long-range weapons.
What should I say about this competitive fight? At the beginning, the gladiators were encircling the Han people. If there was anything wonderful, it was just that the two Han people were constantly fighting back with exquisite martial arts and fierce momentum. After that, we simply entered the "roll call" stage. Whoever is hit is either dead or injured. There is really no wonderful part, especially for those who do not stand on the side of the Han people.
Julian's choice was silence. Of course, he knew that the master of those gladiators ordered to target the Han people. In any way, it was very shameless. Should we be shameless to restrict what weapons the Han people use?
To really restrict weapons, it's better to let the Han people be killed without resistance. The latter approach can also boost morale, while the former approach will only be more humiliating.
Constantius II could not hide his greed and shock: "try confiscating their weapons!"
Gallus was stunned. After reaction, he also had endless greed.
For the Romans, they didn't know many kinds of single soldier long-range weapons. Bows were very common. The other was the way of throwing bullets with rubber bands beating stones, and javelin. They had never seen a crossbow. It would be hundreds of the years before crossbow reached Europe.
The way of killing people shown by the crossbow is amazing. Whoever is aimed at is a soul, and even those who react quickly can't avoid it.
"I can see clearly!" Constantius II twitched his cheek: "it's no use wearing heavy armor against that weapon."
A long-range weapon that can break armour and cause killing effect, or a weapon that can be fired repeatedly. If it doesn't belong to you, you will be frightened. You always worry about who will suddenly give you such a shot.
"Augustus..." Julian also peeped at the crossbow, but he remained sober: "are we going to war with Cyrus?"
Most people have no reason at all when they are greedy. Constantius II's answer is: "try it, try it anyway!"
"Maybe..." gallus now has the same interests as Julian. Julian constantly hinted that although he didn't think about anything, his attitude needs to be slow: "maybe we can try the method of stealing, not hard seizing?"
"Dear father, we cannot and cannot go to war with Cyrus." Helena actually didn't think too much, mainly because she still had the dream of being the emperor's concubine. She dug a pit at Helena: "the angel Siris can give Helena such a precious gift. Maybe she is willing to add that kind of weapon?"
Helena didn't understand what had happened. She suddenly found that everyone looked at herself. Subconsciously, she showed an ignorant expression.
"As long as we successfully establish diplomatic relations with cyris and reach friendly relations, we will have the opportunity to know more about cyris and get more from cyris." Julian really had this idea. Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by himself, he smiled and said, "after becoming friends, it's always more convenient to want to do a lot of things. For greater interests, Helena doesn't need to ask for it."
The corpses and sundries on the venue have been cleaned up. For such a period of time, it is enough for the audience to recover. I don't know whether it was spontaneous or who took the rhythm. Everyone shouted "cyris, Shh!" A mockery of.
"The people of Daqin are far more shameless than we thought." Cai Mian raised his hand and pointed to the audience: "this is a group of people who are used to bullying the weak. They can not even have the most basic face. From this, we can see the basic national conditions of Da Qin."
Is that true? What a country is like, we can basically judge by looking at the national quality of the country.
Cai Mian is not wrong. There are few countries and nationalities that can really be called opponents in the history of the Romans. The Romans have long been used to bullying the weak.
If you are familiar with the history of Rome, you will find that once Rome encounters an equal opponent, the war will start with a hundred years. It is the same with Carthage, Persia, and even the Germanic, Celtic and Slavic people who have no civilization.
Wang Meng was silent. He repeatedly heard negative comments from the Romans on the side of bossasan, including disregard for face and lack of credibility. At first, he didn't believe the Persians' evaluation of the Romans, but after personally arriving in Rome, his experience in a short time showed that some of the Persians' statements were very correct.
The third round began with the announcement of gallus. There is only one Han in this round. The audience can't wait to see the lone Han killed by gladiators in a cruel way. More viewers are looking forward to seeing gladiators tease and humiliate the Han before killing them.
Li Bin knew what kind of environment he would face when the elevator was rising. He was worried and afraid, but he kept an expressionless appearance and held the sword and crossbow firmly.
When the elevator reached the top, Li Bin shook at his feet and the elevator was stable. He immediately raised his crossbow and fired at the nearest Gladiator. The guy fell down with an arrow in his forehead without even responding.
The gladiators know that there is only one Chinese in this round. They don't know what happened before. Most gladiators think that they don't immediately target the helpless Han people after the beginning. They fight with other gladiators, real or false, and then serve the real main course when the audience is excited to the extreme.
From the beginning to the first Gladiator fell down with an arrow on his forehead, it took less than two seconds, and the gladiators near Li Bin were stunned. They know that a Gladiator is dead, and they also know that they are killed by an arrow. But what about the bow? Why don't they need to draw the bow? They hold a strange thing and "instigate" it at people, and then people die?
When the gladiators were confused, Li Bin had already moved to a place with few people. While moving, he also fired. In a short time, it took about two seconds for a gladiator to lose combat effectiveness or die.
"This weapon is terrible!" Constantius II could hardly suppress his greed: "I must get it!"
All the Roman nobles, their ideas at that moment were surprisingly consistent.
Waiting for Li Bin to meditate to 15, the people have come to the position they want to stay, but only 14 people, including him, can stand in the venue.
The gladiators lying down were not all the fruits of Li Bin's war. He shot only seven dead and wounded four. The other four crossbows and arrows went empty. It was equivalent to that the gladiators killed nine people each other in a short time.
In full view of the public, Li Bin threw away the crossbow in his hand and put the sword back into its sheath under the puzzled gaze of most people.
When everyone thought Li Bin was going to give up and admit defeat, he simply took out his crossbow again, or did he have a crossbow in his left hand and a crossbow in his right hand
