In fact, the gap between recruits and veterans is not that big. As long as you kill someone, you can become a qualified veteran, but this step is not that easy to take.
Qin Shou had already realized this. The militia archers had poor accuracy. Coupled with the scattered fire, Qin Shou could only shoot down a dozen people, and the militia lost more people.
, most of them were headshots due to loss.
Only a few first-class soldiers on Qin Shou's side could remain calm, and the situation on the side commanded by Yan Shan was even worse. Almost all the soldiers were huddled under the city wall and shivering from the howls of the bandits.
The robbers ran very fast with light equipment and jumped to the bottom of the city in three times. Their ladders were carried one by one and assembled section by section.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen wooden ladders were set up. The bandits did not carry shields at all, and they rushed up one by one like madmen and instantly cut down several militiamen.
Among the new recruits, only the first-class soldiers dared to resist. The other private soldiers only held their heads and screamed hysterically. This was not to be blamed on them. It was such a bloody and brutal battlefield with broken limbs thrown away. It was a good thing that they did not become deserters.
Qin Shou's purpose was to accumulate military exploits, but he did not dare to fully display his strength, so he used his soul power at this time.
Under the soul consciousness are souls surrounded by fear, and what I have to do is to directly use the power of the soul to drive away the fog of fear, and then use the soul consciousness to cast consciousness on their souls. In fact, it is a simple illusion, so that
All their eyes were focused on themselves.
At this time, Qin Shou drew out his dagger and roared to catch up. With his shield, he pushed down all the dozen robbers and hacked them to death without any defensive armor.
He controlled his combat power to 5 points, which was within the combat power range of an elite warrior. However, Qin Shou had been crawling in the bloody ground for so long. His combat experience was not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers. You must know that Qin Shou's enemies were all
Terrifying dark creatures!
Moreover, with the blessing of the life base, even 5 points of combat power can still defeat human warriors below level 1. For these bandits with shabby equipment and unkempt appearance but only one or two points of combat power, it is a complete massacre.
In fact, those first-class soldiers who fought bravely changed from the fear at the beginning to becoming more and more motivated to fight. After all, the robbers saw the momentum, but once they came into contact with the latter, they could use their strength at once.
A first-class soldier with 3 combat points is enough to kill a bandit in one round.
And because the vice-captain of his team was so fierce, each and every one of them had the courage to fight bravely under the command of Vice-captain Orm.
It was under the influence of Om that the privates quickly realized that fear is the root of all evil and a terrifying existence that can influence a person's will. But without fear, even a private with 2 points of combat effectiveness can become heroic.
fighter.
The momentum could be transmitted among the crowd. The deputy captain and the first-class soldiers stood in front so bravely that the private soldiers felt even more encouraged and started fighting with the robbers.
After the fight, the soldiers also discovered that these ferocious and inhuman bandits were nothing more than that. Although friendly soldiers also died, the bloodshed at this time aroused the bloodiness of the soldiers.
'Om' also performed extremely bravely. He has completely become the backbone of the three teams, and his rhythm is completely controlled by Qin Shou. Even Yanshan is cooperating with him to fight.
At this time, a sharp whistle came from the tower sentry, which was a signal that the city wall had been breached.
Qin Shou stepped on the piled-up corpses of bandits and looked into the city. He saw that the wooden fence wall on the west side of Hehe Town had been broken through by a group of bandits wearing armor using siege hammers. Now more than a dozen bandits had poured in.
"Robber heavy infantry?" He murmured, and a reminder came in his mind that those robber heavy infantry were wearing rusty armor, and the armor style came from the Aragon Empire.
A set of heavy armor requires a lot of coins and skilled craftsmen to forge, so for the empire, even the armor that is about to be eliminated will be thrown into the furnace for refining and will not be sold to the outside world.
Thinking of this, Qin Shou's eyes narrowed slightly. The water in the Aragon Empire is really deep. It is obvious that this bandit army used special means to obtain it from the equipment warehouse of the Aragon Empire. Of course, it does not rule out that these bandits killed the important people of the empire.
Trophies received by mounted infantry.
"Aliya, bring someone to guard the city wall for me! If a robber comes in, I will kill you!" Qin Shou directly pulled over a bald man who was fighting hard and shouted at him.
The latter Alia is the strongest person in the third team besides Qin Shou. He has 5 points of combat power. He also gets along well with 'Om'. Qin Shou himself also likes this upright and honest man.
Alya patted his chest. He was very excited that his boss could trust him so much. "Don't worry! Boss, none of these bastards can even try to get past me!" He roared and cut off the man who had just caught up with him with a sword.
The wooden ladder was cut, and the robber on the ladder fell down.
Qin Shou jumped down from the city wall in two steps and attacked the heavily armored bandits all by himself. More than 20 privates from the third team were currently fighting a bloody battle with the heavily armored bandits. The difference in armor defense was too big and they were at a disadvantage.
He rushed over just in time and knocked away a group of heavily armored bandits. The latter was wearing armor and was knocked to the ground and found it difficult to stand up.
"Kill!!" Under the personal leadership of the deputy captain of the team, the soldiers pounced on the heavily armored robber and killed him.
Qin Shou acted as the center and quickly ordered his soldiers to form a defensive formation to block the breached city wall. Qin Shou stood head-on and killed one by one. There were so many corpses that the dead bandits alone blocked the gap.
The militiamen in River Valley Town were also relieved and fired cold arrows from their sentry posts. A bandit was shot down almost every second.
The swarm tactics of the bandits were unable to defeat the well-trained Imperial squadron. The balance of battle quickly tilted towards the Imperial squadron, and they were soon completely overturned.
In fear, the bandits finally realized that the imperial army they were facing was a squadron with strong military literacy.
"Which squadron of Gray City is this? Is it the first squadron of Gray City garrison?" Even the bandit leaders who were hiding 300 steps away from Pingyuan said in shock.
Especially the bandit leader who was riding a gray striped horse and wearing bright black armor and black robes, his face covered with a ferocious scar, was gritting his teeth in secret hatred.
His eldest brother has obviously bribed the Gray City garrison. Even if a squadron dares to come to support, the most powerful squadron will not come. But the squadron currently stationed in River Valley Town has a combat power far greater than his.
of his subordinates.
"Lord Dolig, we'd better retreat quickly. If this continues, all our brothers will be defeated, and we won't be able to deal with the boss!" Several small bandit leaders who were also riding horses and wearing brand-new armor said anxiously.
Now the outcome has basically been decided. Dolig clenched his fists tightly, with veins popping out on his forehead. He was unwilling to give in. Their "Three Dragons Society" in River Valley Town had been coveting it for a long time. In order to prevent the main force of Gray City from taking action, it cost a lot of money.
Only at great cost did he succeed in bribing the greedy garrison commander.
Should we just let go? But as his subordinates said, soldiers and horses are the most important thing. After hesitating for a long time, Dolig finally gave the order and asked his subordinates to retreat the bandits.
It is better to retreat on your own than to be defeated and dispersed.
Woohoo!! When the abyss-like horn sound sounded, the bandits, whose morale was already low and on the verge of collapse, finally heard the retreat bugle and retreated faster than before the siege.
How could Qin Shou give up this opportunity? He led a dozen soldiers to rush out of the city and killed dozens of bandits before letting go.
Dolig also noticed this overly powerful imperial private. "Boy, next time, I will kill you with my own hands!" From a hundred meters away, Qin Shou caught the murderous intent directed by Dolig, but he was cunning.
He immediately showed some fear and his body trembled twice.
This aroused Dolig's desire to kill Qin Shou. He twisted his bow and arrow and shot an arrow at the private soldier a hundred meters away. Although the arrow missed, it still penetrated into the private soldier's arm.
He snorted coldly and rode away.
The arrow was drilled into his arm, but unfortunately it bounced away from his own body and flew past his flesh. If he hadn't deliberately controlled his skin to relax it, it would have been impossible for this little bow and arrow to scratch his skin.
The arrow passed by, and a stream of blood suddenly spurted out.
"Om!!" When the soldiers who followed Qin Shou saw that their boss had been hit by an arrow, they all gathered around anxiously, formed a dense formation, and escorted them all the way back.
At this time, shouts of victory came from River Valley Town, and all the remaining soldiers who had experienced the bloody battle howled excitedly.
The residents of the river valley who had witnessed the entire battle also rushed out of the central building. They were very grateful to these soldiers who fought to protect them. Many girls had tears in their eyes. These soldiers stained with blood were the ones in their hearts.
prince.
The injured Qin Shou was also carried to the garrison by the soldiers of the third team, and a health worker was dragged over to treat his boss first.
Ali personally treated and cleaned Qin Shou's wounds. She breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that her man only suffered a few scratches. To be honest, when she saw Aum soaked in blood, Ali felt like she was
She was almost suffocating. She really didn't know what she should do if Aum had an accident.
At this time, the injured squadron sergeants were also carried back from the battlefield one after another. Of course, most of the injured squadrons had smiles on their faces. Even the experienced soldiers of the first and second teams who were worried that the recruits of the third team would shrink from the battle were all very concerned about the soldiers of the third team.
Thumbs up for bravery.
"I'm fine. You go and help them first." Qin Shou patted Ali, who was only staying by his side to take care of her. He glanced at the other hygienists who were busy and chuckled at them.
After carefully checking that her man was fine, Ali quickly treated other injured soldiers.
Squadron leader Ohm was also slightly injured and was carried back. The latter's waist and ribs were slashed. The injury was heavier than his own, but it was not seriously injured. "Little guy, you did a good job." Ohm was very excited.
, regardless of the injury, he slapped Qin Shou repeatedly, almost hugging him with excitement.
Moreover, when the health worker was treating the wound, he directly promoted Qin Shou to the rank of third-class soldier, which was also the highest authority that Ohm had to directly promote the rank of a soldier.
