The deputy general stopped trying to dissuade him, because now that the matter was at this point, he had no choice but to press forward.
Zhao Haiping held the horse's rein in his left hand and held the spear in his right hand, constantly using his talent of "observation of subtleties" to find flaws in the enemy's formation.
This talent is really useful. Zhao Haiping can determine the status of these soldiers at this time through their movements, demeanor and even subtle expressions, so as to find the weak points in the entire formation and continuously break through.
When encountering someone who tries to block him, he will not fight to the death. At most, he will feint attack or parry with one hand raised.
The horse's spear is very long, so it is very inconvenient to use it with one hand. General Qin's spear is even longer and larger, making it difficult for ordinary people to even pick it up, let alone use it.
Fortunately, with General Qin's general fighting ability, he was able to scare away many people in the rebel army with his single-handed spear.
But soon, Zhao Haiping began to encounter new problems.
He rushed left and right and was soon trapped in a tight siege.
Enemy generals and soldiers continued to surround him and fight him. It became increasingly difficult to fight back with just one hand.
Obviously, the generals and soldiers on the opposite side are not useless. How could they watch an enemy general charging left and right in the formation and remain indifferent as if they were in a deserted place?
Seeing all kinds of weapons stabbing him, Zhao Haiping had to temporarily give up his plan to continue charging forward. He clamped his legs on the horse's belly, left his left hand away from the reins, and used both hands to fight back with his long spear.
This time he learned to be smarter, and instead of stupidly colliding with the charging cavalry like before, he tried his best to maintain his body's balance.
When encountering an enemy attack, you can either dodge and move on your horse to avoid it, or use your spear to draw the enemy general's weapon.
When counterattacking, use as much skill as possible to attack the enemy general from the side, causing him to fall off his horse. Then he holds his long spear behind his back and stabs the enemy general to death.
The top-down thrust is indeed the most reliable attack method during the period without stirrups, and there is absolutely no danger of falling off the horse.
When stabbing horizontally, the method of exerting force is also particular.
The moment of stabbing will inevitably withstand a certain reaction force, so it is best to choose a suitable angle and allow the rod to deform slightly to absorb a certain amount of reaction force. At the same time, at the moment of stabbing, you should release your hand as slightly as possible to allow the reaction force to be exhausted.
It may be less likely to be passed on to oneself.
When your hands slide from the rear end to the front end of the long pole, then reach out and hold it again, while maintaining balance with your body posture. This will ensure that you can poke the opponent off the horse without falling off the horse.
I have to say that this is indeed a very technical move.
If it were put into modern equestrianism, I'm afraid a large number of professional equestrian athletes would have to be eliminated.
Zhao Haiping couldn't master it very well. Although it was complete in theory, it was another matter in actual combat.
Without stirrups, the state of a person on a war horse is a very delicate balance, and any external force may destroy this state.
What's more, the enemy generals are all brave and skilled generals. Zhao Haiping can't just maintain his own balance. He has to find ways to avoid or deflect the opponent's weapons, otherwise he will be knocked down by the opponent and the copy will fail.
In this way, Zhao Haiping failed again and again and started again.
With the talent of "observation of subtleties", he constantly observes the flaws in the enemy's formation and keeps them in mind; and with the talent of "proficiency in spearmanship", he constantly hone his fighting skills on horseback.
After you have mastered both items, you can try to use the "aggressive" talent to see if you can rush in front of Gao Yi and perform an assassination operation.
In short, the difficulty of this trial illusion is much more difficult than the previous four identity copies.
Zhao Haiping has been prepared to fight with it for more than a week.
…
At this time, many players also gave up on clearing the land for the Cavalry Trial early and entered the Fortress of the Orderer.
Li Hongyun is one of them.
It's not that he doesn't want to be a cavalry, the key is that after trying it out, he found that this trial copy is too difficult!
The key is that his dog luck doesn't play a big role in it, which is very uncomfortable.
After all, whether a horse falls or not depends entirely on the laws of physics, and no matter how outrageous luck is, it is difficult to affect it.
The European Emperor would not be happy to play a game that does not require luck.
Of course, this does not mean that Li Hongyun has completely given up riding horses.
He discussed it with Chu Ge and felt that the current cavalry trial was too difficult, and there was no special reward for the first pass. In this case, it was better to move bricks in the Fortress of the Orderer to earn money.
Wait until someone clears the Cavalry Trial dungeon, and then copy the answers according to the video.
For Li Hongyun, it is of course a gratifying thing to finally have his own fiefdom.
Because this small piece of land in the fiefdom is actually cut out from the historical slices and given to the players.
Only players who participate in the Orderer Expedition can obtain fiefdoms.
Li Hongyun is the latest batch of closed beta players to join and did not participate in the last expedition of the Orderers. Therefore, although the portal to the fiefdom was opened before, after passing through, there was only a small thatched hut and nothing else.
Now, I finally have my own fiefdom.
Compared with before, the fief has added some new content. For example, players can now use muskets to hunt, and there are more martial arts and shooting ranges in the fief.
There are various weapons in the martial arts field, as well as simple wooden robots as targets, which can be used for training on various weapons; in the shooting range, shooting training on bows and arrows and muskets can be carried out.
There was even an area that looked like a blacksmith shop in the fiefdom.
There are tools such as furnaces, anvils, and hammers. If you use the coal, iron ore and other resources from the Fortress of the Orderer, you should be able to forge weapons by yourself.
Some players have already begun to study its use, but Li Hongyun has no such idea for the time being.
Because he doesn't know much about the relevant knowledge.
In the game "Dark Sand", most of the gameplay is extremely realistic, which means that blacksmithing in the fief may be a little easier than in reality, but it will never be much easier.
And from the current point of view, making iron by yourself can only save a little processing fee, but it also consumes a lot of time. Ordinary players are better off going directly to the blacksmith shop and buying ready-made ones.
Unless some talented players can use the blacksmith shop to create some special weapons for themselves, or their crafting skills are higher than that of the blacksmith.
As for the Fortress of the Orderer, there have also been changes.
The area of the entire historical slice has been further expanded, and there are many more explorable areas around it.
Players begin to explore new areas, search for new minerals, or hunt more monsters that stray into this slice.
The blacksmith shop has also been updated with a lot of new equipment. Basically, all the weapons and armors that appear in the copy of "The Marquis Is Not My Will" can be purchased, including muskets, thunderbolts, etc.
The number of masons, carpenters and other construction workers has also increased significantly, and the next construction plan of the Orderer's Fortress can continue.
Li Weiyi and other players began to be busy again. On the one hand, they were supervising the construction of the other two walls of the Orderer's fortress. On the other hand, they continued to survey other terrains throughout the historical slice and continued to consider the planning of defense facilities for these terrains.
In previous battles, players have deeply understood the importance of city defenses, so they also support Li Weiyi and the others in their work. They work hard to move bricks every day to accumulate more construction value and prepare for the subsequent battles.
…
In this way, the week passed quickly.
Construction work on the Orderer's Citadel is in full swing.
No one has ever been able to clear the Cavalry Trial Fantasy Land.
In the official forum, countless players have already expressed their dissatisfaction.
Obviously, their experiences were similar to those of Zhao Haiping, ranging from anticipation, to confusion, to shock, and finally to collapse.
The Cavalry Trial dungeon is really too difficult!
Playing the role of General Qin and beheading Gao Yi? Reappearance of the unprecedented and unprecedented "capture of the general's head in the midst of thousands of troops"?
What did the designers of "Dark Sand" think?
Players have expressed that they just want to ride a horse in this game, but why is it so difficult?
In other games, horses are basically free, just a matter of pressing two buttons. At most, you can spend some money to learn advanced riding skills, or spend some time to catch a wild horse and put on the reins.
As it turned out, "Ansha" was good. If I want to be a cavalryman, I'd like to cosplay General Qin, the famous general through the ages.
Of course, players are complaining, but the official "Dark Sands" is still as indifferent as before!
The players had been arguing for a while with no results, so they had no choice but to continue fighting this difficult dungeon.
Of course, top players like Zhao Haiping, although they have not yet cleared the level, have made considerable progress in the dungeon.
Clearance should be just a matter of time.
Today, the players' attention is not on the Cavalry Trial dungeon.
Because the new copy of "Dark Sand" is officially open!
