Accompanied by the rumble of war drums coming from the distance, the Beidi barbarians, who were pressing down on the city like black clouds, began to attack the city.
Zhao Haiping was still a little frightened when he first witnessed such a huge war scene, but now, he has completely adapted to it and is even a little indifferent.
After all, he has seen such scenes countless times and died countless times, and his mentality is as stable as an old dog.
Draw a bow and set an arrow.
Following the general's order, Yujian took action!
This arrow accurately hit a barbarian soldier under the city and penetrated deeply into his right chest, causing him to fall on his back. After struggling twice, he finally failed to get up.
Zhao Haiping's expression remained as usual and he set a second arrow.
Zhao Haiping has also deliberately honed his archery skills before. The method is very simple, which is to directly use the "bow and horse proficiency" skill in the early stage, and repeatedly experience the feeling of archery, so that it becomes his muscle memory.
As soon as the barbarians attack the city, they will commit suicide and start again. This will increase their proficiency over and over again.
Therefore, even if Zhao Haiping does not have the talent skill of "Proficiency in Bow and Horse", his archery skills cannot be underestimated.
With another arrow, a Beidi barbarian fell down again.
Drawing his bow for the third time, Zhao Haiping aimed at a cavalry leader rushing ahead.
This time, the bow and arrow once again hit the leader's shoulder at a tricky angle. Unfortunately, the leader was wearing armor, so although the arrows penetrated through the gaps in the armor, they did not penetrate deeply.
But no matter what, three consecutive arrows hit all the targets. Although it was a bit misleading, it was still Zhao Haiping's best result.
Someone nearby cheered: "Great archery skills!"
Zhao Haiping remained calm and continued to draw his bow and arrow.
He has encountered this kind of situation before. When he performs well, such as hitting the enemy with consecutive arrows, or saving the day in a one-to-many close combat, the other Dachu soldiers around him will also cheer.
And this will obviously enhance his reputation in the army and be beneficial to the next battle.
Soon, Beidi barbarians began to attack the city.
Zhao Haiping immediately threw aside his bow and arrow, took out his saber from his waist, and rushed directly towards the first Beidi barbarian to climb the city!
This barbarian soldier has a ferocious face, and the muscles on his body seem to be quite developed. Obviously, those who can rush to the front in this kind of siege battle must be elites, and are generally called "first-to-reach warriors" or something like that.
On the other hand, Zhao Haiping was a bit weaker due to his small stature. Among the soldiers of Da Chu, he was obviously not considered an elite. It was a bit of a suicide attempt to rush so far forward.
However, just when the other soldiers felt that he was about to send him away, Zhao Haiping suddenly stepped out of the way, and with his extreme status, he just dodged the barbarian soldier's scimitar.
The flaw cuts through the throat!
Immediately afterwards, more barbarian soldiers began to board the city. Zhao Haiping did not stop for a moment, killing while advancing towards the general's position.
On the one hand, it is to rush to the aid of the general and prevent the army from being completely defeated after the general is killed. On the other hand, it is also to show more face in front of the general.
The more you show your face, the more likely you are to be promoted to deputy general!
In the eyes of others, Zhao Haiping's journey was extremely dangerous. His fighting methods were all life-threatening. He often rushed into a group of three or four barbarian soldiers, but he was able to escape every time with great difficulty.
, and can even kill one or two people.
Before Zhao Haiping could reach General Geng Zhong, he had already attracted the general's attention.
"There are actually such brave men in our army?" General Geng Zhong couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
The first phase of the battle ended quickly, and Beidi retreated.
Zhao Haiping was already covered in blood, his knife was so sharp that it curled up, and he also had several wounds on his body.
But to him, this is nothing. The pain in the game has been adjusted down, not to mention that he has died countless times and has seen all kinds of big scenes. This small injury will basically not affect him.
judgment.
There is a certain amount of luck involved in clearing the level this time. After all, the talent of licking blood from the edge of a knife is not invincible. It just makes it easier for him to perform beyond his level in close hand-to-hand combat. Damn it, you will die.
But judging from the results, the impression Zhao Haiping left on these Da Chu soldiers was truly heroic!
A man kills everyone on the top of the city, often against one enemy. Many times, it feels like he is about to die suddenly, but he can always save the danger and trade a small wound on his body for the life of the Beidi barbarian soldiers.
Probably this is the legendary "brave champion of the three armies"!
Zhao Haiping's performance not only involved a large number of barbarian soldiers, allowing other Da Chu soldiers to fight more comfortably, but most importantly, it also greatly boosted morale, making the battle more winnable.
But Zhao Haiping knows that the second stage is more important.
Because as long as he can survive in the first stage, he can basically enter the second stage. But the second stage is not that simple.
The clouds and fog dispersed, and the surrounding scene changed.
The surrounding soldiers all looked like they were in their forties, and the equipment on the city wall also looked like it was in disrepair.
But just as Zhao Haiping predicted, his identity has indeed changed!
He was just an ordinary soldier before, but now he is wearing sophisticated armor and is obviously different from before.
Seeing Zhao Haiping, the soldiers saluted one after another.
Obviously, he is now a deputy general, which is due to his excellent performance in the first stage.
Zhao Haiping didn't want to delay for a moment and immediately walked quickly towards the direction of General Geng Zhong.
The two guards saw Zhao Haiping, but they did not dare to stop him this time. They just saluted and let him go.
General Geng Zhong was looking down at a map. When he saw Zhao Haiping coming, he asked: "How is the situation?"
Zhao Haiping decided to go straight in: "General, the soldiers are hungry and thirsty. The barbarians are about to attack the city. We can't wait any longer. The seventh well must be dug immediately!"
General Geng Zhong was a little surprised. He raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head again.
"The barbarians are about to attack the city, so it is no longer appropriate to waste manpower digging wells. What's more, there is no water in the six wells. It is probably because of the death of me..."
Zhao Haiping hurriedly stepped forward with a firm attitude: "General, you must not think like this!
"In the past, the late emperor went to Beidi and was trapped. He drew his sword and stabbed the mountain, and flying springs gushed out. This shows that I, the great Chu, was destined to return. How could it be possible that "heaven will destroy me"?
"General, the Beidi barbarians are approaching the city with a fierce attack. Without special means, this battle will almost be defeated. According to the general's opinion, this seventh well must be dug!"
When Zhao Haiping said these words, he was sincere and full of energy.
Although there is an element of acting in this, Zhao Haiping has fought so many battles with these soldiers and died so many times. He has already inserted himself into the role, so he is very sincere.
General Geng Zhong seemed a little moved by him.
There are two key points in Zhao Haiping's words. The first is to bring out the legend of the late emperor and build confidence. The second is to analyze the current battlefield situation and emphasize that "dig wells" are the only possible means to reverse the situation of the war.
General Geng Zhong took two steps back and forth: "In your opinion, where should the seventh well be dug?"
Zhao Haiping took a look at the map in front of General Geng Zhong and found that many locations were marked on it, which should be the six wells before.
Almost all of these locations are concentrated in the northwest of the city.
Zhao Haiping had done his homework in advance and was at a position near the south pier: "General, dig here!"
Geng Zhong couldn't help but frown slightly: "Oh? But this place is far away from the stream in the northwest. How can you be sure that there is water?"
Zhao Haiping said: "General, there is no other place in the city to dig a well. Now that the matter has come to this, we can only give it a try."
General Geng Zhong lowered his head and considered for a moment: "Okay, I will listen to you."
Zhao Haiping hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Also, general, I hope you can give an order to kill a few army horses."
General Geng Zhong couldn't help but frown, his eyes showing a cold light: "Kill the horse?"
Zhao Haiping nodded: "Yes!"
He had anticipated the general's reaction, but in order to pass the level, he had to stick to his own opinion.
These ancient people had a deep affection for military horses, and the presence of horses meant they could break through.
Therefore, even if they were hungry and thirsty and reduced to squeezing horse dung juice, these people had no intention of killing the horses.
Because the army and horses are not only partners in fighting together, but also the last guarantee for breaking through.
There are already not many soldiers and horses in the city. Once the horses are killed, it means that the possibility of breaking out is basically cut off, which means everyone will be trapped in the isolated city.
But Zhao Haiping knows very well that there is only one solution to the current dilemma!
