My players are all actors

Chapter 245 The fierce battle in the first stage

When Zhao Haiping patted his horse back again, he found that the golden soldiers hadn't charged up again.

Because they are timid!

Hesitation and fear can be clearly seen on the faces of these golden soldiers.

Obviously, they were frightened by Zhao Haiping's battle!
At this time, the two sides have not actually had a large-scale confrontation. Zhao Haiping just rushed into the enemy's formation and overthrew a few young generals. In fact, this golden cavalry unit did not suffer any major downsizing.

As for Wang Fang and the hundred-man cavalry, they hadn't really started fighting with the golden soldiers, they just pushed forward.

But this has put a lot of pressure on the cavalry of these golden men!

Immediately afterwards, Wang Fang and others saw an incredible scene.

These invincible golden cavalry actually retreated!

At the beginning, it was only a few golden soldiers who wanted to retreat, but were stopped by one of the generals, but soon, the remaining few generals discussed it urgently, and finally made up their minds and ran away on horseback.

Of course, Zhao Haiping did not continue to chase, after all, he also knew that there was no Qi Dynasty reinforcements nearby.At this time, rushing over seems very passionate, but if it really bumps into the Jinren's follow-up troops, it will be overshadowed instead of pretending to be aggressive.

So, after Zhao Haiping pretended to chase after a while, he clapped his horse back and returned to the team.

"Brother Zhao, you...you are too powerful! How did you do this?
"It didn't take a single soldier to let these golden men run away!"

Wang Fang obviously still couldn't comprehend what was happening in front of him.

The scene of Zhao Haiping riding alone and chasing more than two hundred golden soldiers left a deep impression on him.

At this moment, in the eyes of these Qi soldiers, Zhao Haiping's back was like a god descending from the earth.

What made Wang Fang very puzzled was that even if Zhao Haiping overthrew a few golden soldiers, it wouldn't cause such a heavy blow to the morale of the golden men, would it?

The golden soldiers at this time are all extremely fierce, and it is impossible to be frightened by an enemy.

Therefore, when Wang Fang led the people to rush up, he was actually ready for a fierce battle, but he didn't expect that it would end much easier than he imagined.

Zhao Haiping explained: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.

"We are worried that there is an ambush behind the golden man, so why not the golden man?"

Only then did Wang Fang suddenly realize: "So that's how it is!"

Obviously, several of the golden soldiers that Zhao Haiping picked up should be low-level military officers with little status.And these grassroots officers actually maintain the grassroots command and operation of the entire army.

The loss of so many young generals at the beginning will inevitably make the cavalry of this golden man poorly commanded and seriously affect the combat power.

And Zhao Haiping took advantage of this opportunity to accurately find the gaps in these cavalry, and rushed left and right to kill, as if entering the land of no one.

The more important reason is that the Jinren actually don't know the details of this Qi army.

As Zhao Haiping judged, this golden soldier was not an elite forward of a large army, but a small army responsible for scouting and looting nearby.

Since going south, the Jin people have basically been invincible when encountering the troops of the Qi Dynasty, winning one battle after another with a destructive momentum.

Many of the so-called elite teachers of the Qi Dynasty simply fled.

This made the Jin people more or less underestimate the enemy.

But this time, Zhao Haiping's heroic performance made the Jinren stunned. They couldn't figure out why there was such a fierce general in the Qi army.

And the hundreds of cavalry who had stood still and suddenly pressed up halfway also had an inexplicable sense of oppression, which made these golden soldiers feel that these cavalry seemed to be extremely confident in their leader, and seemed to be planning to wipe them all out.

In short, the powerful combat power shown by Zhao Haiping made the Jin people overestimate this cavalry, thinking that they were the vanguard of a certain elite army of the Qi Dynasty, so they dared not love to fight and retreated hastily.

Such a seemingly unsolvable deadlock was broken just like that.

"Go and see those golden soldiers, if you still have breath, take them back to the barracks."

Zhao Haiping directed these people to tie one of the Jin soldiers, who was not particularly seriously injured, to a horse and return to Pingding County.

……

At this time, Meng Yuan was in the sequencer space, observing the performance of these players.

In front of him are countless states of testing illusions, and through the ability of the sequencer, massive amounts of information can be quickly processed by the merchants and gathered into his consciousness, allowing him to grasp the situation of most players at the same time .

In each trial illusion, there are four different players.

According to the different routes chosen by the players, they are placed in the capital, Cenqiao post, village and Pingjun respectively.

These four people will have brand-new identities. Among them, the scribes in the capital are the highest official positions, but this also means that as Yushi Zhongcheng, he does not have a high degree of freedom. They are wrangling.

The goal of the ranger is very simple. It is to integrate the green forest people and the villagers in the small village, and use their power to repel this group of golden soldiers who want to go to the small village to burn, kill, and loot. people.

As for the pawn players, their task in the Pingding Army is to complete the daily reconnaissance tasks as much as possible, get promoted, and survive the final Pingding Army defense battle.

The goal of assassins and scribes players is to create as many "positive effects" as possible on the entire trial illusion.

For example, if the scribe players can really assist Li Boxi to play a huge role in city defense, or reduce the disturbance of those peacemakers to the emperor in court through impeachment, it will be regarded as a positive impact.

Assassin players don't necessarily have to assassinate Wan Yansheng, as long as they assassinate some low-level or middle-level officers of the Jinbing, it can be regarded as having a positive impact.

Of course, the assassination of low-level golden soldiers has little impact, but it is easy to get out; the assassination of middle-level golden generals has a great impact, but most of them only have one chance.

How to choose depends on the players' own ideas.

Four players are randomly assigned to enter this trial illusion. If a player fails halfway, causing very serious consequences, other players will also be affected.

For example, Chu Ge failed to stop the emperor who fled in the middle of the night, causing the Jingping Change to happen ahead of time, and even the other players were overwhelmed by the vast number of golden soldiers before they had time to play.

If it was a less serious consequence, such as the failure of an assassin player to assassinate Wan Yansheng, it would not cause the collapse of the entire Trial Illusion, but just him re-matching with the other three players.

The three players in the original trial illusion can continue to complete their goals.

In many trial illusions, players have various choices.

Some assassin players didn’t intend to stay in Cenqiao Station from the very beginning. They thought it was a dead end to ambush Jinbing here, so they simply ran to the capital to help defend the city. Anyway, killing Jinbing when defending the city is the same. On the battlefield, it is easier to take advantage of the assassination;
Some ranger players changed their minds immediately after finding out that they couldn't beat them, and wanted to take these green forest people and the people in the village to flee to the mountains, and wanted to see if this counted;

Because the scribes were in the capital, they played the most tricks. Some even tried to buy murderers to kill all the ministers of the Lord and faction, but they sent them on the spot because the conspiracy was revealed...

Players also began to try various codes, using code words that future generations can understand to identify each other, hoping to find absolutely reliable allies in advance in the upcoming Jingping Change.

It's just that so far, although the best players are gradually completing enough "positive influences" and gradually conquering the plot of the first stage, no players have really been able to make any showy operations. Avoid the occurrence of the Jingkang Change.

The merchant said: "Didn't you plan to let the players let go and change this slice of history at the beginning? It seems that this purpose has not been achieved at all now."

Meng Yuan shook his head slightly: "Of course we want them to let go and change this slice of history, but the time has not yet come.

"Because they don't have enough anger and motivation to transform this slice of history, and what's more, they don't have enough power.

"That's why I asked them to clear the first stage before they can unlock the subsequent content.

"According to the current situation, it should be soon. On the first night, many players should be able to pass the first stage of the trial..."

……

Countless trial illusions are constantly running in the space of the sequencer.

Some trial illusions have ended in a short period of time, and the four players in them have failed for one reason or another; , is only one step away.

After the player fails and decides to enter a new trial illusion, a brand new trial illusion will be generated in the Sequencer's space, and the other three players who also want to start over will be matched with him.

Due to the large number of players in "Dark Sands", and the power of the Sequencer can actually distort time, this kind of matching can be done without the players noticing it at all.

With the unremitting efforts of the players, the game content of the first stage has finally begun to come to an end.

……

In Cenqiao Station.

Jin Bing's siege was still the same as usual, and it didn't last too long.

Holding their butcher's knives high, several golden soldiers rushed to the depths of Cenqiao Station with excited faces.

Of course they knew that there might still be resistance forces here, but as the Jin people's troops crossed the border, these resistances were meaningless.

What's more, the soldiers of the Qi army along the way were all about to collapse at the first touch, so these golden soldiers had already ignored any resistance at all.

After all, even if a few golden soldiers rushed forward, they would scare the hundreds of Qi troops into flight.

That being the case, what is there to be afraid of?

Therefore, these golden soldiers unknowingly let down their vigilance, just want to rush in as soon as possible. There is only ruins left, and nothing can be salvaged.

With a "bang", the closed door was kicked open, and Jin Bing broke in with a sharp knife in his hand. Immediately afterwards, there were terrified screams, angry shouts, and maybe a few pleadings in the room. With the sound of blades slicing and blood splashing on the wall, all this fell silent.

And these golden soldiers obviously enjoyed this moment very much.

A tall and strong golden soldier looked at the wound on his left arm indifferently. It was stabbed by a defender of the Qi Dynasty when he climbed the low city wall of Cenqiaoyi.

But he didn't rest because of this small injury, but continued to rush in. His desire for gold, silver and women had already made him feel no pain at all.

When he came to a spacious mansion, the golden soldier realized that perhaps this was the big fat sheep he had been waiting for.

What surprised him even more was that after killing and looting, he actually saw a corner of the bright clothes in the firewood pile in the firewood house.

"Get me out!"

Jin Bing brandished a sharp knife with his right hand, while with his left he slammed the pile of firewood aside.

Then, he saw hiding in the woodpile a woman whose face was covered with pot ashes and who deliberately smeared herself to make her look ugly.

It's a pity that this kind of self-uglification doesn't make much sense after all, because Jin Bing can still be seen from her face shape and clothing, she is probably a naturally beautiful lady.

A smug smile appeared on Jin Bing's face. In his opinion, it seemed that this time he was going to return with a full reward.

The long knife rested on the woman's neck, Jin Bing looked at her triumphantly and trembled like chaff, and then everything seemed to be logical, he took her to a nearby wing, ready to torture wantonly.

The Jin soldiers did not put away their long swords, nor did they lower their vigilance. After all, other Jin soldiers had not entered the city in large numbers at this time, and there might be resistance in the city at any time.

So even at this time, Jin Bing held the long knife tightly in his right hand.

After the two came to the wing, the woman in front of her faced Jin Bing's approaching every step of the way, as if accepting her fate, she was forced to lean forward a little, and then, the elbow of her left hand naturally fell on Jin Bing's body. On the right hand holding the knife.

In the next second, Jin Bing suddenly saw murderous intent on this woman's face!
Xia Ruoling suddenly slammed into Jin Bing's arms, pressed his left shoulder firmly against his chest, and then used the elbow of his left hand to suppress his right hand so that the long knife in his hand could not be cut off. Then his right hand drooped, originally The dagger hidden in the sleeve suddenly slipped and was held in the palm of his hand.

Then, Xia Ruoling's right hand stabbed out like lightning, accurately passing through the gaps and ribs of Jin Bing's chest armor, and instantly pierced his heart!
"Boom!"

Jin Bing was knocked back a few steps by this sudden huge force, and he seemed completely unable to figure out why this lady-like woman in front of him could suddenly burst out with such terrifying power.

He was still trying to resist, but after hitting the wall, he felt that the dagger seemed to twist hard in his chest, taking away all his strength in an instant.

He wanted to shout, but at some point, Xia Ruoling's left hand covered his mouth, preventing him from making any sound.

After a short time, Xia Ruoling gently pushed Jin Bing's body, then drew out the dagger, avoiding the direction of the blood spurting out.

Then, she turned her head to look at Cenqiao Station, where the flames of war were already burning, turned around and mixed in with the refugees, and continued to the next ambush site.

……

Jingshi Street.

With his bow on his back, Li Hongyun came to the door of the largest restaurant in the capital.

"It doesn't matter, let's have a good meal first!"

This is Li Hongyun's seventh life.

Before, he had been trying to die at Cenqiaoyi, but he died miserably every time.

Not to mention killing Yan Sheng, it's not easy to kill even a junior military officer!
This was the first time that Li Hongyun regretted his identity as an assassin.

After all, he is an assassin who is slick, unlike Xia Ruoling's top assassins who have such a deep accumulation in camouflage, concealment, and layout.

Moreover, he used long-range weapons, not short weapons.

This also means that the assassination of a person may have a high success rate, but it is completely ineffective in the case of continuous assassinations.

Therefore, after repeatedly hitting the wall, Li Hongyun finally decided not to give up. Before closing the city, he ran out of Cenqiao Station and came to the capital.

He pondered, his own style of play is really not suitable for fighting alone.

After all, there are no advanced flintlock guns in this world.

Perhaps in the defense of the capital, he can play the greatest role.At that time, killing the enemy should also count, right?
Arriving at the entrance of the restaurant, Li Hongyun was just about to step in when he suddenly felt that there was a billboard on the signboard at the entrance with a few lines of words written on it.

During the Qi Dynasty, the commercial economy and brothel culture were very developed.

Every year and festival, students from all over the world will hold literary meetings.And if there are any good words in the essay meeting, someone will spread them throughout the city that night.

These restaurants and brothels will display the excellent Ci works of the students at the entrance for people to compete to praise.

And the oirans of those brothels will sing these lyrics according to the lyrics in the first time, which is quite like a modern pop song.

It's just that what's displayed at the entrance of the restaurant is not a poem, but a couplet.

"Smoke Lock Pond Willow!"

Moreover, it is clearly written next to the couplet that all people with lofty ideals who can match this couplet and have the ambition to fight against the Jin Dynasty may directly meet with today's third-rank officials and Yushi Zhongcheng to discuss the great plan to fight the Jin Dynasty. Because of this, you may be recommended to find an official position.

Li Hongyun was suspicious at first, but then suddenly realized.

He seemed to have thought of something, and quickly came to the restaurant, called the waiter over, and asked about the couplet.

Xiao Er immediately invited Li Hongyun aside respectfully, and presented him with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

According to the waiter in the shop, the censor Zhongcheng requested that the hotel provide pens, ink, paper and inkstones for those who came to couplets, so that they could write down couplets, inscribe and sign them, and then wait in the restaurant.Moreover, they were not allowed to peek at the written couplets, they had to send them to Yushi Zhongcheng's mansion immediately.

Li Hongyun couldn't help but be more sure. After the waiter turned around, he picked up the brush, splashed ink, and wrote five characters in crooked, like chicken feet crawling.

Rust blocked range hood!
Then, he left his name, and after the ink on the paper dried, he folded it, put it in an envelope, and handed it to the waiter.

Not long after, a carriage stopped at the door of the restaurant and brought Li Hongyun to the residence of Mr. Yushi Zhongcheng.

It has to be said that Yu Shi Zhongcheng is a third-rank official after all, and this mansion is quite magnificent, which also makes Li Hongyun somewhat regretful: I should have chosen the status of scribe to start the trial if I knew it earlier!

If this idea is known by other Assassin players, they must scoff at it: Traitor of Assassin players!
But Li Hongyun would retort: ​​I originally wanted to be a scribe, but I changed my career halfway!

Not long after, the censor Zhongcheng walked over quickly.

A person from the forest and an official of the imperial court, two people who seemed completely out of place with a huge disparity in status, unexpectedly stepped forward at this time and held each other's hand tightly.

"Brother, it's finally time for you!"

Li Hongyun's eyes filled with tears. Ever since he entered this trial illusion, he, a poor assassin from the green forest, has had enough of bullying from the golden man.

At Cenqiao Station, I have no relatives, and I don't know how many times I have received bento boxes.The tragic scene of being killed by Jin Bing every time is still vivid in my mind.

And this time, I finally found another player!

Li Hongyun asked: "I'm Li Hongyun, what's your name?"

Seeing this Yu Shi Zhongcheng had a strange look on his face: "I... I am Chu Ge..."

The expressions of the two were a little embarrassed, and they looked at each other carefully, only to find that they could actually see each other's shadows in the eyebrows and eyes of the other.

This Trial Illusion has carried out deep makeup on the original appearance of the players. It is not obvious at first glance, but if you look closely, you can make it right.

Li Hongyun was very angry: "I said, where is my dog ​​luck! Why haven't I met Wan Yansheng once! So it was used to match you!"

……

With a sound of "shua", Huo Yunying shook off the blood on the sword.

Several other Jin soldiers got on their horses in panic and galloped away.

Huo Yunying really wanted to kill the grass, but the horses of these golden men were much faster than those of the green forest men. Even if they could chase and kill one or two people, the ending would not be fundamentally different.

Looking at those green forest people again, the eyes they looked at him were almost like worshiping gods.

"Tiesuo Zhenshanhe" Yuan Zhiyong looked at Huo Yunying with respectful eyes: "Master Duan, what should we do next?"

At this time, these green forest people and the gathered Minzhuang had completely followed Huo Yunying's lead.

Because his previous series of performances really shocked these people inexplicably.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with describing it as "counting an exhaustive strategy".

Huo Yunying sighed silently in her heart, I don't want to turn myself into an image of exhaustive tactics and superb martial arts, but it's impossible to do otherwise!

How do you guys know how many times I was abused by the golden man!

At the very beginning, Huo Yunying's plan was perfect, but the execution was fragmented, so he had to change tactics repeatedly.

According to the time, direction, approximate number of people, and various details of the period when the Jin people entered the small village, Huo Yunying changed the battle plan again and again, trying to bring out the combat effectiveness of these green forest people as much as possible, and avoiding them as much as possible in the plan. His recklessness brought too many variables to the battle plan.

In short, after trying various methods, the entire village was finally saved with many people injured and no one killed.

But even so, it's not over yet.

Huo Yunying originally thought that at this time, the vision should be filled with white mist and directly enter the second stage, but unfortunately it didn't.

This also means that he has to continue to struggle here.

"Why didn't you go to the second stage?
"Is it because those golden soldiers escaped?
"Save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west... If it ends now, there will be more golden soldiers coming to take revenge soon. By then, this small village will still be doomed to be slaughtered..."

After thinking about it for a while, Huo Yunying probably figured out the current situation.

So, he looked at the green forest man and these villagers: "Everyone pack up quickly, only bring gold and silver, clothes and food.

"Let's go into the mountains!"

……

On the low city wall of Pingding County, Zhao Haiping looked into the distance.

Dark clouds overwhelm the city.

Jin Bing's vanguard scouts have arrived at the foot of Pingding County, and farther away, many Jin soldiers are setting up camp.

After performing several sentry missions, the situation on the battlefield began to deteriorate rapidly.

The biggest bad news came: Taiyuan fell.

Sure enough, after a brief rest, Jin Bing's West Route Army began to further sweep the counties around Taiyuan, as well as the entire East Road.

And the Pingding Army was stationed on the only way from Taiyuan City to the capital, so it naturally became the inevitable target of the Jin people.

Although the terrain here is dangerous, the city is not big, the population is not large, and the entire Pingding Army only has about 3000 people.

Looking at the golden soldiers approaching from a distance like black clouds, Zhao Haiping sighed silently: "If I can survive this battle...will I be able to pass the first stage?"
