Chapter 1660 Three games

Not only did this battle make all the officers and soldiers on the front line feel the danger, but when the results of the battle were conveyed back to the imperial capital, the entire empire's top brass began to be shaken. This was basically impossible. They were very surprised by such things. They simply didn't

I don’t believe that there is such a thing. The loss ratio of the imperial cavalry to them is one to three, and the loss ratio of the imperial infantry to them is one to six. This is still a heavy cavalry, and they actually have a strategy and find some

Things have lowered the walls of the empire. Such a thing has never happened before. This must be the skill of the Snake Queen.

As the commander of the Thunder God Legion, Li Cong is naturally qualified to have other impressions, but I feel that these people may be similar to the orcs in the novel. Many people in the empire also call them orcs, but I did not expect the orcs here.

So powerful, Li Cong never felt special when he came here. This orc should live in a relatively bad land, living a life without food and clothing. Now that the orcs have counterattacked, Li Cong feels incredible.

The Imperial Command held a meeting overnight. Should we send reinforcements to Guangming City in advance? We finally discussed it all night and felt that it was not necessary at this stage. We just ordered Cheng Zhijie to quickly bring a large amount of supplies to Guangming City. According to the report

It says that crossbows are still the most powerful weapon that can kill orcs. Such things need to be made with great effort.

There will be no lack of confrontation and struggle at any time after Li Cong ends the meeting. Li Cong now has a lot of autonomy, so naturally he will not get involved. What he wants now is to see his weapons.

Wearing clothes is no joke, so all the large quantities of crossbow and arrow products that Li Cong requested have been prepared.

However, they just made some products and didn't assemble them at all. They didn't know anything, but Li never said that they couldn't go up and ask if it was wrong. If someone was labeled as spying on military intelligence, they wouldn't be able to live with it.

, who has nothing to doubt.

The Thunder God Legion is expanding, and Li Cong also secretly let some of his own people sneak in. Of course, the number of people is not very large, only a few hundred people. Compared to the millions of people in the entire legion, Li Cong brought these few hundred people from the earth.

There is simply no possibility for a person to be found out, especially with the protection of the highest official, which makes it even more impossible to find out.

Although the Thunder God Legion is the lowest-ranked legion among the emperor's personal troops, it has definitely been prospering recently because of Li Cong, the super legion commander. The expansion work within the legion has always been done by the Imperial Ministry of War.

The most important thing is that a large number of various war horses and material resources are constantly entering the legion. Not only that, in addition to the large salary issued by the Imperial Treasury, Li Cong also gave the soldiers another supplement. Of course, Li Cong can't

No one believed it at first, but later they saw how Li Cong treated each battalion and believed it, and the feelings towards Li Cong in his heart were not as simple as those of superiors and subordinates, but also mixed with some

Other feelings.

On this day, Li Cong brought about 20,000 sets of serial crossbows from the manufacturing office, including 1,000 large ones and nearly 20,000 small ones. The technology on this earth is naturally more powerful than here.

Many, this large-scale serial crossbow uses the crossbow arrows of the war crossbows of this era, but it can fire ten at a time, and a single shot can fire thirty arrows in one minute. You must know that this war crossbow cannot shoot one in two minutes.

Remove the roots, and what Li Cong used was not ordinary beef tendon. Li Cong used modified ones. He also soaked them in a potion to increase the strong elasticity, and also added some small parts.

It has some springs that are not found in this world, so the range of this serial crossbow is very amazing.

The small hand-held type can attack enemies about 800 meters away, but if you want to effectively kill it, the maximum range is about 500 meters. The large one can attack enemies about 3,000 meters away, and the effective range is about 2,000 meters.

Such data has never happened before on this planet. Li Cong is also very tough. This one can definitely kill those damn savages.

Li Cong didn't have any hatred towards the barbarians, but some things the barbarians did recently really angered Li Cong. Li Cong decided to help the emperor kill the barbarians first, thinking that he would not find out later.

He actually has feelings for this planet. Of course, the source of all these feelings was obtained from the princess.

At this moment, Li Cong's serial crossbows have all been assembled. He must have recently passed from Kahuan County, and even those war crossbows with a series of crossbows also have a large row of crossbows under them. What is this? Besides,

Those small ones, how far can they go if they are so small? They are of no use at all.

"Everyone, many of you have followed me and killed enemies on the battlefield of the Red Lotus Sect. You can be said to be the foundation of my foothold in the Imperial Capital. How far I can go in the Imperial Capital in the future, you are important to me.

It is crucial. Of course, this is not my fault. When you were in Kahuan County, you could get dozens of gold coins a month, but here, I tell you, what you get will be the same as before.

More than ten times, I can subsidize you as much as your Majesty pays you, but you must remember that everything you do is based on your ability. In the end, you 20,000 people will only

16,000 people can stay. I'm sorry for the remaining 4,000 people. You can only leave here and go back to the place that belongs to you. This is not the place you should stay. Three days of study time and two days of assessment time will...

There will be some ancient assessments from the past, and there will also be some new situations. It all depends on your luck." This is what Li Cong said when these people came in on the first day. Everyone was excited, but

Li Cong only needs 16,000 people, and Li Cong does not need the rest, because Li Cong will not raise waste here, especially when the cost of raising waste is relatively high.

After the traditional test in the first two days, one-tenth of the more than 20,000 people, that is, more than 2,000 people have left here because they failed due to height, strength, endurance, etc.

, left, but they can still stay as ordinary soldiers of the Thor Legion. Of course, they cannot become the absolute ace of the Thor Legion.

Speaking of this trump card, many of the veteran soldiers of the Thunder God Legion were unconvinced. They simply did not believe how capable these people from the counties below were. They believed that they were the proud ones, that is, because of them

For this reason, Li Cong prepared three competitions, allowing these Thor Legion soldiers to compete with these new soldiers. Li Cong knew very well that even if they go to the battlefield in the future, they must have the original

Some troops from the Thor Legion helped. Without their help, these people wouldn't be able to stand there and shoot so calmly. Everything needs to be coordinated.

The test took place at the training ground of the Thor Legion. Tens of thousands of people watched the test. Each side sent two hundred people. The Thor Legion sent one hundred cavalry and one hundred infantry. This new army Only two hundred infantrymen came out. From the looks of it, they didn't even have any heavy armor on their bodies. They were all light infantry. The difference was that they brought two huge war crossbows and some small war crossbows. , the original soldiers of the Thor Legion laughed out loud when they saw their small crossbows. Such small crossbows were of no use. They were simply rubbish.

Naturally, the things on the battlefield cannot be used in the competition. Everything is unopened. The bows and arrows have also become round-headed, with some white powder on them. As long as these things are on the human body, It means that this person has withdrawn from the exercise. The swords, guns and sticks are also coated with these things. It is impossible to hurt anyone. After all, these people are Li Cong's elite. The death of any one of them is a huge loss. , especially these heavy cavalry, are costly.

The first event of the competition is single-player archery. Each side sends five people to compete in long-distance target archery. It turns out that the five people sent by the soldiers of the Thor Legion are all sharp archers selected by hundreds of thousands of people. Their arrows are absolutely worthy of their reputation. The 700-step target is simply child's play for them, so this time they used 800-step targets, which is a distance of about 400 meters. The competition subjects are In the shortest possible time, both sides are on the same starting line.

It is common practice for these people in the Thunder God Legion to shoot arrows on horseback. It is very simple to shoot arrows on horseback, but it is still difficult to hit this distance. However, if you shoot this distance on flat ground, you will have no strength at all. Sorry, maybe in other armies, such a distance can be regarded as a sharp archer, but here, the four hundred-meter target is just the beginning. Otherwise, how can we be regarded as His Majesty the Emperor's personal army? That was back then. The people from the Divine Arrow Army whom Li Cong had taught estimated that only one or two out of dozens of people had this ability. But here, I dare not say that all of them would be 10 out of 10, but half of them would be fine.

When the two sides stood on the battlefield, it was obvious that the troops of the Thor Legion were taller. After all, their bodies were stronger in all aspects. The main thing Li Cong wanted here was loyalty. Li Cong said Some speeches are nothing more than friendship first and competition second, but these words are so pale and feeble. No one is second to these.

"Haha, you new boys, don't think that you are qualified now because you followed the general in the past. I think you are just some related people. We all know the general's abilities, but you Our brothers are all watching, so we can't let ourselves get too carried away." The number one archer of the Thunder God Legion said with a smile. It can be said that his ability is second only to Li Cong in the entire legion. Of course, his ability to direct archery , He is still far behind in other abilities. This guy was once the top martial artist in the empire, and there were several instances where he shot and killed enemy bosses on the battlefield, but he was not as far away as Li Cong. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to still be a warrior now. Captain's.

These people from Kahuan County are naturally unconvinced. After these days of training, they naturally believe this.

"Thank you, Mr. Captain, for your help, but I think we should never underestimate anything. You have to start from the beginning. Meng Tian now is just a pawn. After seeing these strange things about Li Cong,

The weird thing about me is that I can be one of the first generals to prepare such weapons, and I will be able to write a lot in the history books in the future. It would be a shame for me if I didn't participate in such things.

"Hmph, boy, don't be too arrogant now, you will know how powerful you are next." Seeing that Meng Tian was so rude, these emperor's soldiers were immediately unhappy. If these local armies had not been expanded through expansion

Sometimes, how can we be on the same level as them at other times? They are all the pride of heaven, these people are nothing but bullshit.

Meng Tian didn't talk nonsense to this boy. Anyone who lives by talking in the military camp would be looked down upon by everyone. Meng Tian was not a veteran in the past, and it was a good tradition to bully new recruits, but this recruit's hands

If there is really some ability down there, this veteran will definitely not provoke him. Just like this, it is time for the new recruits to show their skills. Meng Tian took several new recruits to the field and stood there.

Meng Tian, ​​other people will also be scared. They are not powerful characters. They will also be scared when facing these soldiers of the Thunder God Legion. Not everyone has the qualifications to be a general, but they don't have it either.

Why are you scared? It's just that the look on your face is a little uncomfortable.

"What are you afraid of? Let's see what big truth you have in your hands. But it is still very lethal to these simple farm men. Now, none of them feel so nervous anymore. They also have their own

If there is a problem with face, Li Cong will also be embarrassed. The general cannot go back because of the happy life of his parents, wife and children that they have studied, and he cannot let all this come to nothing.

With this idea, these five people immediately seemed to be a little different from before. The first archer of the Thor Legion and several other archers also felt it, and they didn't talk much at the moment.

, have already made preparations, and are just waiting for Li Cong to give orders.

In fact, the crossbow made by Li Cong also has... a first-line aiming device. As long as there is no problem with eyes and judgment, those guys on the battlefield are all orcs. These orcs are huge and it is easy to kill them.

thing.

"Start, shoot." As Li Cong shouted, the first arrows from both sides were all launched. Generally speaking, the first arrow can hit the target, and it may even hit the heart.

, Sure enough, Li Cong saw the first shot very clearly. Others did not have that vision, but Li Cong himself had it. The ten people were all good, and they all hit the red heart. Several people from the Thor Legion over there were relieved.

After all, they didn't lose anyone. They didn't have a few comrades beside them at this time. They all had smiles on their faces. That was enough. It was just that they were taking the first quiver in the quiver behind them.

When the second arrow was fired, they heard the sound of cutting through the air. They all knew that it was the sound of the bow and arrow being shot out. Their second arrow had not yet been aimed. Another sound came out. Their second arrow was ready and started to aim.

By that time, they had already shot four arrows. When their second arrow hit the target, their fifth arrow was also completed. They counted the enemy's sounds while shooting arrows. When their fourth arrow was just taken out, another arrow was fired.

There was no sound on one side, they actually finished it

Although this is not a battlefield, it is still a competition, so regardless of the situation of others, they shot out the bows and arrows in their hands. It took them twice as long as others to finally complete the first competition. Their results

When they came out, among the five of them, only the number one archer hit all ten shots. One or two of the others missed. According to the rules of the game, all five of them failed. On the other side, five of them failed.

Two of the individuals hit the target, and only one of the other three missed the target. This kind of thing surprised the entire Thor Legion.

When they took the target, many people went over to take a look. General Huang, the deputy general of the Thunder God Legion, also took a look. Originally, he thought that the bows and arrows used by these newcomers were relatively small, and the penetrating power should not be cheating. In other words, this

Are the elites here not as good as the more common ones over there? But before this guy can think about it, the second competition is about to begin again, and this second competition is the crossbow competition.

Twenty soldiers from each side carried two crossbows for the competition. The targets were two thousand meters away. In fact, ordinary crossbows would have no effect at this distance, but for Li Cong's new crossbow

To say that this distance is simply child's play, this distance was also proposed by the people of the Thor Legion. They have superb technology and can make the crossbow hit the target at this distance, so they thought of letting these people make a fool of themselves in the competition.

The question is to see who can hit the most targets with ten from both sides. Generally speaking, when a crossbow attacks, the hope of hitting the first two is not very high, but the army of the Thor Legion is different from other armies after all. They can

At least eight out of ten shots hit. This number is already very impressive. If they perform normally today, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the new recruits to win. The crossbow modified by Li Cong can only be said to be faster.

There is an advantage. This is a good way to aim. After all, there are a lot of things happening within the two thousand meters. Li Cong didn't think they would win this level, but Meng Tian had his own ideas.

He is very aware of the abilities and temperament of these proud soldiers of the Thunder God Legion. If he cannot completely defeat them mentally, his life will be difficult in the future. Both sides are in the same military camp. Will this friction cause any problems?

Less.

Meng Tian did not use Lianfa's war crossbow, but instead used a war crossbow that can fire ten at a time. In this case, there is one result, either success or failure. Even if it fails, if it fails in the past, wouldn't it be too much?

Isn't it embarrassing? This kind of luck is really bad, it won't be like that.

"Ready, release." Li Cong still had the same three words. In one sentence, the Thunder God Legion went out with a whoosh as soon as he finished speaking. Except for the two observers who were watching whether the crossbow arrows had been hit and correcting the coordinates next time,

Everyone else seemed to have nothing to do with this matter. They all quickly sat down to do what they were supposed to do. At this moment, they integrated into it.

Li Cong looked at their selfless looks and admired them in his heart. It was considered the highest level for soldiers to reach their level. However, the goddess of luck was not on their heads today. Before they finished changing the second one, they screamed

With a loud noise, all ten crossbows of the new army next to them were fired out. The tens of thousands of people watching were shocked. What kind of monster was it? What surprised them was still behind. Three of them hit the target, but this was not surprising.

What surprised them, and what surprised them even more, was that except for these three, the other seven actually continued to fly out, and they did not stop until they hit the earth wall of the Thunder God Legion campus. This one must be six thousand steps and three thousand meters away.

, at such a distance, knowing that Li Cong’s arm strength was the same, he died under Li Cong’s arrow.

The second game was a draw between the two sides, but the people on the Thor Legion side were dumbfounded. Nine of their ten crossbow arrows hit, but they still felt in their hearts that they had lost, because the opponent was resting behind them.

, this is just a game. The final place for soldiers to win is on the battlefield. If there are enough crossbows, the enemy is likely to attack in several waves, so the final result will definitely not be their victory. In what? Encountered on the battlefield
To be continued...
