As soon as they heard that a Han Chinese was about to play, the whole audience was excited.
Although the name is a personal battle, the first few rounds are not set down in the ring for one-on-one heads-up, or thirty people come to a big scuffle, and only the last winner in each round is the winner in each round.
There are more than 600 people participating in the competition, that is, at least 20 rounds of melee are required, but in fact, there are 22 rounds of big melee.
The winner of each round of the melee will need to draw lots again.
It seems fair to use the lottery to decide the opponent, but in fact, there are ways to carry out various operations, but there is nothing on the Han side.
Amid the cheers, a new group of participants came to the arena floor from the elevator, and like the previous group of members, they were all at a considerable distance from each other.
As a "doodoo" trumpet sounded, the close competitors began to fight.
"What kind of armor is that?"
"I don't know, it's gorgeous" Zhang Duo and Huang Li are participants in this round, and they are not wearing Han army standard armor, but they are actually more inclined to samurai matching.
The so-called samurai on Zhuxia's side are quite complicated, and in the early days, they were generally relatively close-fitting power suits, but in fact, there was no protective armor.
In today's stage of martial arts, the smelting technology has been developed, and the fundamental reason is that those who can fight basically have the experience of joining the army, and the habit of wearing armor has become popular among the people.
The national color of the Han Kingdom is red, Zhang Duo and Huang Li armor inside the robe is naturally red, the armor is a kind of metal material in the vital parts, most of the positions are leather materials, and you can see the parts of the chain mail with interlocking iron rings, each metal is wiped smooth, and the sunlight shines on the past to form a reflection of light, which has a gorgeous sense of sight.
"The outer layer is a lightweight Mingguang armor, and there is a layer of plate armor inside, with a total weight of about twenty catties."
Cai Mian's gaze kept moving back and forth between Zhang Duo and Huang Li, and said relatively easily: "There is no need to defend against arrows, and a layer of chain mail has been removed." ” There is actually a layer of plate armor inside that is not really plate armor, it is nothing more than adding a layer of protection to the vulnerable part, if you think in a deceitful direction, it is to use the weakness deliberately exposed by the outer layer of armor to attract attacks, in fact, there is a guaranteed defense inside.
The weight of twenty catties is nothing to Zhang Duo and Huang Li, who are already accustomed to wearing about fifty catties of armor, even if they add the dagger and crossbow on their waists, the shield in their left hand and the war sword in their right hand, there is not much burden on them at all.
They fought as they approached each other, until they were back to back, and the total number of gladiators they had killed was six.
That is the gladiators were originally aimed at the Han people, and the fighting between the gladiators was pretending, and even the gladiators who caught the fighting pair found that the Han people were approaching and changed the object of attack.
The targeting is so obvious that anyone who is not blind and whose brain is not paralyzed can see it.
At this moment, the audience chose to ignore it, and their cheers would only appear when the gladiators attacked the Han Chinese, and the invective was when the gladiators who attacked the Han people were counterkilled.
Zhang Duo slapped a gladiator with the shield in his left hand, stabbed his sword through the other neck, and hurriedly asked, "How many crossbow arrows do you have?"
Huang Li didn't have time to spare, his shield blocked a stabbing harpoon, and the sword slashed at the sword, and he also replied urgently: "Twelve rounds." ” The next moment, the two had to get out of the way of each other, and it was a tomahawk that was smashed with a whistling sound.
The dodge of the two was a roll, and the man was forced up by a group of gladiators before he could get up from the ground.
They chose to be the same in the face of the siege, the shield protected their heads, and the swords in their hands swept with the half-crouching body, the sound of the metal was very crisp, and the metal slashed into the flesh with a "poof" sound.
The audience saw a scene in which two Han Chinese cut off the blades of most of the gladiators with their swords, and several overly eager gladiators broke their legs in the two Han people's sword sweeps.
Zhang Duo and Huang Li, who had resolved the crisis, suddenly abandoned their shields, and the next moment they picked up the crossbow on their waists and fired at the gladiators.
The crossbow does not have a long range, in fact, it is not very powerful beyond twenty meters, but it can be used to pierce armor within seven meters with a three-edged arrowhead.
Zhang Duo and Huang Li constantly pulled the trigger to fire crossbow arrows, most of which were aimed at the gladiator's head, and only when they were threatened would they choose a torso that could shoot better.
"If they can target, we can use a hand crossbow."
Cai Mian watched the number of people who could stand on the field continue to decrease, and said without concealing his contempt: "I don't believe that the armor made by the Great Qin people can defend against the crossbow within five meters. ” The hand crossbow is the weakest of all the crossbows, but its existence is still a black technology, even after previous generations of firearms were put into use, it is still a powerful melee long-range weapon.
There is no hand crossbow in the standard weapons of the Han army, the hand crossbow is actually the special equipment of the palace guards, Liu Yan ordered someone to send fifty hand crossbows before Wang Meng set off, and the loading amount of each hand crossbow is fifteen rounds, and the arrow magazine can be quickly replaced after shooting, which is really a veritable black technology at present.
The arena, which had been filled with cheers and invective, gradually quieted down, and what the audience saw was that the gladiators were shot to the ground one after another by the Han people using unknown long-range weapons, and they lost their voices for a while.
Huang Li and Zhang Duo didn't do anything to deliberately leave the gladiator to use the blade of a melee weapon, and after shooting the last gladiator, they didn't even talk, silently repairing the sword to the gladiator lying on the ground who were dead or not dead, and also took back the crossbow arrows that were fired.
"They" Gallus swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked not so surely: "Is there a foul?"
The earlier competitive fight was not clear, anyway, the gladiators in the later arena really had never seen the existence of long-range weapons.
It's actually quite a simple matter, and many arenas are really not big enough to be suitable for using ranged weapons.
There is another reason, the gladiators are mostly slaves captured by the Romans, or they are not tolerated by a high-ranking official of the authorities to become gladiators, who dares to let the gladiators be equipped with long-range weapons, and they are not afraid that the gladiators are aimed at themselves, so it leads to gladiators who do not use long-range weapons.
How to say this competitive fight, the beginning stage is that the gladiators are besieging the Han people, if there is anything exciting, it is just that the two Han people are constantly fighting back with superb martial arts and fierce momentum.
Later, it simply entered the stage of "roll call", who was pointed out was either killed or injured, there is really no part that can be called wonderful, especially for people who are not on the side of the Han people.
Julian's choice was to remain silent.
Of course, he knew that the masters of those gladiators had ordered the Han people to be targeted, which was already very shameless in any way, so should he be even more shameless in restricting what weapons the Han people used If it is really a restriction on weapons, it is better to simply let the Han people be killed without resistance.
The latter approach can also boost the spirit, and the previous approach will only be more humiliating.
Constantius II simply could not hide his greed and shock: "Try the kind of weapon that confiscated them" Gallus was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he was also endlessly greedy.
For the Romans, there were not many types of long-range weapons they knew, the bow was very common, the other was the grenade method of rubbing stones with rubber bands, and the javelin.
They had never seen a crossbow, and it would be hundreds of years before the crossbow reached Europe.
The killing method shown by the crossbow is so amazing that whoever is aimed at it will hit the soul with one shot, and even those who react quickly will not be able to dodge.

"I can see it clearly," Constantius II twitched his cheeks, "and it's useless to face that kind of weapon in heavy armor." ” A long-range weapon that can pierce armor and cause a lethal effect, or a weapon that can fire in bursts, if it doesn't belong to you, you will be frightened, and you will always worry about who will suddenly give you such a shot.
"Augustus" Julian also had a peep at the opponent's crossbow, but he kept his senses: "Are we going to war with Seris?"
Most people have no reason at all when they are greedy, and Constantius II replied: "Try it, try it anyway" "Perhaps" Gallus now has the same interests as Julian, and Julian keeps hinting that although he didn't think of anything, his attitude needs to be more leisurely: "Maybe you can try the method of stealing, not by force" "Dear father, we can't and can't go to war with Seris."
Helena didn't actually think too much, mainly because she still had the dream of being a concubine of the Son of Heaven, and dug a pit at Helena: "Angel Seris can give Helena such a precious gift, maybe he is willing to add that kind of weapon" Helena didn't understand what was going on at all, and suddenly noticed that everyone was looking at her, and subconsciously showed a confused expression.
"As long as we have a successful relationship with Seris and reach a friendly relationship, we will have the opportunity to get to know Seris better and learn more from Seris."
Julian was really interested in this idea, and when he saw that everyone's attention was attracted to him, he smiled and said, "After becoming friends, it is always more convenient to do a lot of things, and for the greater good, there is no need for Helena to ask for it." ” The corpses and debris on the field had been cleaned up, and for a while it was enough for the audience to come back to their senses, I don't know if it was spontaneous or who led the rhythm, and the crowd chanted "Seris, shhhhh "The people of Daqin are far more shameless than we imagined."
Cai Mian raised his hand and pointed at the audience: "This is a group of people who are used to bullying the weak."
They don't even have the most basic face, so they can see the basic national conditions of Great Qin. ” If it really is like a country like that, you can basically judge the quality of its citizens.
Cai Mian is not wrong, there are really few countries and nations in the history of the Romans that can really be called opponents, and the Romans have long been accustomed to bullying the weak.
If you are familiar with the history of Rome, you will find that once Rome encounters an evenly matched opponent, the war will start with a hundred years, with Carthage, with Persia, and even with the Germanic peoples, Celts, and Slavs who have no civilization.
Wang Meng was silent.
On the Persian Sassanid side, he repeatedly heard negative comments from the Romans, including shamelessness and lack of credibility.
At first, he did not believe in the Persians' evaluation of the Romans, but after he went to Rome himself, his experience in a short period of time showed that some of the Persians' statements were correct.
The third round of competition began with the announcement of Gallus.
There was only one Han Chinese in this round, and the audience couldn't wait to see the lonely Han people killed by the gladiators in a brutal way, and more viewers were looking forward to seeing the gladiators tease and humiliate the Han people before killing.
Li Bin knew what kind of environment he would face during the elevator elevation, he was worried and scared in his heart, but he maintained an expressionless appearance, and his hand holding the sword and crossbow was very steady.
When the elevator reached the top, Li Bin stabilized the elevator with a shock under his feet, and immediately raised his crossbow to shoot at the nearest gladiator, and the guy fell down with an arrow in his forehead without even reacting.
The gladiators knew that there was only one Han in this round, and they didn't know what had happened before, and most of the gladiators thought that they would not immediately target the lonely Han people after the start, but to start a real or fake fight with other gladiators, and wait for the excitement of the audience to reach the extreme, and then serve the real main course.
From the beginning to the fall of the first gladiator with an arrow in his forehead, it took less than two seconds, and the gladiators near Li Bin were all stunned.
They knew that a gladiator died, and they knew that he was killed by an arrow, but what about the bow, and why didn't they need to pull the bow, and they took a strange thing and pointed it at the person with a "scream", and then the person died When the gladiators were confused, Li Bin had already moved to a place with few people, firing while moving, and in a short period of time, it was about two seconds for a gladiator to lose combat effectiveness or die.
"This weapon is terrible" Constantius II simply could not suppress the greed in his heart: "I must get it" All the Roman aristocracy, their thoughts at that moment were surprisingly consistent.
Waiting for Li Bin to silently read in his heart until fifteen, the person has already come to the position he wants to stay, but there are only fourteen people left in the venue, including him, who can stand.
The gladiators who lay down were not all the results of Li Bin's battle, he shot only seven dead, wounded four, and four other crossbow arrows missed, which is equivalent to killing nine people in a short period of time.
In full view of everyone, Li Bin discarded the crossbow in his hand and returned the sword to the sheath under the bewildered gaze of most people.
When everyone thought that Li Bin was going to give up and admit defeat, he simply took out his crossbow again, or had a crossbow in his left hand and a crossbow in his right hand:
