The Qizhong branch is an important city defense area and it is inconvenient for unknown people to enter. The state competition was not held in the Qizhong branch, but was held at the famous "Martial Arts Stage" in Zhennancheng. ???? ? ? ? w?

It's not that Shao Dianjian is stingy, this is the old practice of all previous Zhongwangzhou Prefectural Muds. Everyone who enters the "Grand Martial Arts Arena" to watch the competition must pay money, regardless of nobles or commoners.
It is said that Lord Zhou Mu has to pay for his box, and even the king's envoys will have to pay to watch the game, but there will be people competing for the money.
The "Grand Martial Arts Stage" has large and small boxes for nobles to distinguish them from common people.
When civilians watch the competition, they can pay directly at the gate of the "Grand Martial Arts Stage" and then enter the general bleachers area, where they can just find an empty seat at will.
Most of the VIP boxes are reserved in advance. During state competitions, it may not be possible to reserve them without a certain status and spending money.
Shi Heng booked three private rooms under the banner of protecting the Marquis' Mansion. Otherwise, he, a silk merchant in Black Earth City, would not be able to book even half a private room.
There were many people coming to watch Ding Kui compete, including his senior brothers and sisters, classmates from when he was a knight apprentice, teachers and family members, etc. One box that could seat ten people was not enough. The number and level of nobles in the city were not equal.
Comparable to Zhongjun, it is not easy to win three boxes.
Ding Kui, Jiang Cao, and Jiang Yu chatted for a while and then returned to their respective teams.
Athletes participating in the state competition do not live together in the riding branch, but are scattered to 20 areas, and each county is required to be responsible for the security work in its own area.
As soon as the contestants settle in the Qizhong Branch, they enter a quasi-military exercise state. The Qizhong Branch will issue some tasks from time to time and assign them to contestants from each county to complete.
This year, there is a flagpole in the area where each county is stationed, with flags numbered from one to twenty, corresponding to the ranking of each county in the previous year.
The missions of the Cavalry Division this time include flag stealing and flag guarding, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance. All tasks must be completed in a state where combat is impossible.
This is the reason why all twenty counties are rushing to register at the Qizhong branch before the deadline. Whoever arrives first will have to complete more tasks.
The final move in is on October 1st, and the practice status will be released before the lottery starts on October 5th. During this period, the Cavalry Division can only assign one round of tasks at most, and some county guilds will not receive the tasks if they are lucky.
The residential area in each area is at least 100 meters away from the flagpole. The county that receives the task of protecting the flag must catch someone when he leaves the area after stealing the flag, otherwise the task will be deemed to have failed; the county that receives the task of stealing the flag will
On the contrary, successfully escaping with the flag of the target area is regarded as completing the mission.
The party guarding the flag cannot stand under the flagpole, nor can it take the initiative to enter the 50-meter range centered on the flagpole, unless someone who steals the flag is inside, but it can drive away any non-owning personnel who enter the area where it is stationed.
Those who receive the reconnaissance mission are to assist the flag-stealing party, deliberately lingering in the flag-keeping party's area, confuse the flag-keeping party's audio and video, and cover the flag-stealing party; the counter-reconnaissance team's mission is to gain the flag-keeping party's trust and assist the flag-keeping party.
Drive away flag-stealing and reconnaissance personnel to ensure that the target flag is not stolen.
If the stolen flag is successful, the reconnaissance mission is successful, if not, the reconnaissance mission is failed, and the opposite is true for the counter-reconnaissance mission.
The reconnaissance party can pretend to be a counter-reconnaissance party, so the flag guarding party must have the ability to distinguish between true and false, otherwise it will be difficult for them to guard the flag well by themselves.
Such exercises to train tactical strategies are part of the military training of knights and are implemented in all states of Shaodian Kingdom.
Players who can participate in the state competition will basically be regarded as future military generals. In addition to combat prowess, strategy is a very important ability.
Pingzhong County ranked twelfth in the last state competition and was assigned to area 12. After Teng Yan and Ding Kui settled in the area, they designated Ding Kui as the exercise commander and left the station.
"I wonder if we will receive a mission this year?" Xu Yan looked a little excited.
"Didn't we receive a mission last time?" Ding Kui didn't ask about previous competitions.
"Yes, we were lucky enough not to receive the task last time." Ji Xing, as a city representative who has participated in the state competition all year round, knows the history of the state competition quite well.
"Actually, I think it's fun to receive the mission, and it gives us a lot of training." Xu Yan has his own opinion.
"Which team that receives the task will not hesitate to complete the task, and will have to torture it until the morning of October 5th. Is this fun? It can also be done after the game. Doing this before the game will affect
State." Shan You disagreed with Xu Yan's view.
Ba Xi didn't care about anything. He was chewing on the dried meat Ding Kui gave him. Having meat to eat was the most important thing to him.
"Whether we will receive a mission or not is not something we can decide. How about we discuss which missions are suitable for us and which ones are the most difficult." Ding Kui put forward the most realistic view.
"Yes, Ding Kui is right," Ji Xing said calmly, "Our area is in the middle of the Qizhong Branch, with garrison stations from other counties on all sides. The task of guarding the flag is the most difficult, and the other tasks are not much different.
.”
The five contestants from Pingzhong County were discussing. Wrong, it was four people discussing eating alone. Long Shen walked into their room and said, "The commander of the exercise in area 12 takes over the task."
Ding Kui bowed and saluted: "No. 12 Area Exercise Commander Ding Kui receives the order."
"Your task is to protect the flag of area 12, and take the flag with you to participate in the draw of the state group stage on October 5th." Long Shen handed a scroll to Ding Kui.
Ji Xing looked at Long Shenyuan's retreating figure and said, "I'm really afraid of what will come. They can sneak in from all directions. It's not that difficult to defend."
"It's really fun this time, Xu Yan, you can take your time and play." Shan You said angrily.
"Okay, now we are a team. The most important thing is to unite. The task is originally difficult." As the exercise commander, Ding Kui had to take on the responsibility of uniting the team. "Xu Yan went to take a look around and take a look.
Is there any unusual movement in the surrounding areas?
Basi, go to the roof. When you see someone approaching the flagpole, rush over and grab him.
Ji Xing and Shan You are going to rest now and prepare to take turns keeping vigil at night.
I'm going to see who comes in for reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance."
No one objected to Ding Kui's task arrangement, and everyone dispersed to perform their duties.
The mission was announced at noon. There was no movement at all on the afternoon of the first day. Only players from Weiguo County, Wu'an County, Pingzhong County, Pingxiang County and Changle County were active in their own areas. Apparently they had all been informed.
The task of guarding the flag.
During dinner, Ding Kui and other five people gathered on a roof more than fifty meters away from the flagpole, discussing while eating.
"We are surrounded by the five areas of Changyi County, Shiqiao County, Jixi County, Zhenjiang County and Nanguo County. There has been no movement all afternoon." Xu Yan observed the surrounding situation responsibly.
"It's really a narrow road for enemies. The four families who don't want me to use 'Yue Shang' are all around us." Ding Kui scratched his temples a few times.
"Haha, it's not surprising. The last rankings of their counties were similar to ours. Your use of famous swords will have the greatest impact on them. The counties ranked in front and behind won't care too much." Ji Xing felt particularly energetic after a good sleep.
.
"Brother Ji, I heard that you learned a unique trick from Ding Kui and your eyesight has greatly improved. I will leave the task of guarding the flagpole to you at night. I will be responsible for chasing people away." Shan You said.
"Don't rush now, we need to distinguish the flag-stealing side, the reconnaissance side and the counter-reconnaissance side as soon as possible." Ding Kui pinched his chin and said, "The three parties should send people over to contact us soon. As long as we can determine which side is speaking
If it is the truth, we will have won half the battle."
"Someone is coming." Ba Xi suddenly stood up.
Sure enough, people from Zhenjiang County, Jixi County and Shiqiao County entered Area 12 of Pingzhong County.
"It seems that I guessed right. Both the flag-stealing party and the reconnaissance party are keeping an eye on us. Once someone wants to contact us, the two parties will take the opportunity to come together, making it difficult for us to distinguish who is the counter-reconnaissance party.
This counter-reconnaissance party is quite experienced. He chose to come here during dinner because he wanted to take advantage of the moment when the flag-stealing party and the reconnaissance party were least attentive to contact us quietly first. Unfortunately, neither of those two parties are rookies." Ding Kui said.
He shook his head slightly.
From Zhenjiang County came Jiang Ang, from Jixi County came Ma Hun, the second son of the Marquis, and from Shiqiao County came Gan Zong, the eldest son of the Marquis. Xu Yan brought the three of them to Ding Kui.
"Haha, have you all eaten?" Ding Kui said to the three of them with a smile.
Ma Hun was the first to say: "No, I'm hungry. Commander Ding won't let his allies go hungry. Let me eat some of the delicious food."
Jiang Ang next to him became anxious and said quickly: "I am Commander Ding's ally. You have exposed me. Now that I have come to command Ding and them, I must have made preparations in advance. How come I haven't even eaten?"
"Don't pretend, no matter what you eat or not, Commander Ding's true ally is me. I was the first one to walk into Area 12, don't you think so?" Gan Zong said to Ding Kui.
Ding Kui immediately looked at Ba Xi.
Ba Xi shook his head and said, "I didn't see clearly who came in first. I only saw them when they got closer."
Idiot, someone tried this out.
Ding Kui felt regretful, so he could only say: "Since you are here, it would be strange if you don't say that you are my ally. Things will be cleared up. It seems that the task of the No. 12 flag is assigned to the four of us.
Of our four commanders, two will definitely succeed and two will fail.
Of course my allies don’t want the No. 12 flag to be stolen, so I would like to ask five people from my allies to stay with us tonight, and everyone who comes will prove who is sincere.”
"Okay, I'll go back and call someone." Jiang Ang, Ma Hun and Gan Zong said together.
Ji Xing, Xu Yan and Shan You were stunned to watch.
"Oh? Haha, it seems that I am very lucky. I have so many sincere allies, so please go back and call for them." Ding Kui stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"Huh!" Jiang Ang, Ma Hun and Gan Zong looked at each other and walked towards their respective areas.
