Zhao Haiping let go of the bow string in his hand, and the arrows fired in response, shooting a Beidi barbarian chasing behind him under his horse.
The third stage of hard training progressed faster than he imagined.
Perhaps it was because he had already laid a solid foundation through his previous sufferings, especially his archery skills, so after entering the third stage and acquiring the talent of "Arrow and Horse Proficiency", he was able to adapt quickly.
But soon Zhao Haiping discovered a new problem.
Even if his riding and archery skills are superb, and he can shoot off the horse of the pursuing barbarians, or even throw away the pursuit of the barbarians, he still cannot pass the level.
Because he rode for a long time in the wind and snow, but he couldn't find any sign of reinforcements!
The best time was when he rode southeast for a long time and finally saw an isolated city vaguely in the wind and snow.
As a result, just when Zhao Haiping was shouting with joy, he saw barbarian soldiers wearing Beidi costumes at the top of the city. He responded with a hail of arrows and barbarian soldiers coming out of the city.
Zhao Haiping was simply drunk.
This is a scam!
Sure enough, the city where General Geng Zhong and the others were located was the only city nearby that was still resisting. All other cities and strongholds had already fallen.
In this case, where did the so-called reinforcements come from?!
Zhao Haiping was completely confused and ran several times in the heavy snow like a headless fly. However, due to the exhaustion of his physical strength and the fierce pursuit of the Beidi barbarians, he soon had to fail.
At this moment, his vision was gradually shrouded in fog, and the feeling of being about to wake up reappeared, which meant that his happiness tonight was about to end again.
A moment later, Zhao Haiping woke up in reality.
"Huh...three days have passed before I knew it.
“Finally, we are almost reaching the threshold of passing the customs.
"But...where are these reinforcements?"
Zhao Haiping quickly got up and washed up.
After playing this game, he found that his biological clock had become regular.
In the past, he would only be woken up by the alarm clock when it was almost time to go to work, but now, he goes to bed at 10 o'clock and gets up at 6 o'clock every day. His sleep quality is quite good and he is full of energy.
Starting at 6 o'clock every day, it becomes a time for internal beta testers of the game "Dark Sand" to exchange their experiences like crazy.
Zhao Haiping immediately found Chu Ge in the chat software and recounted the problems he encountered in the third stage.
He knew that Chu Ge must be online because all players would be kicked out of the game at 6 a.m., and so far, all players who have played have basically entered a state of addiction.
As expected, Chu Ge quickly replied.
"Really...you need to find reinforcements yourself...
“It seems different from what we expected before, and more difficult.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to check the information."
After a few more minutes, Chu Ge replied.
"According to historical records, the Chu army at that time recruited more than 6,000 troops from the surrounding four counties to attack Chehe City and killed more than 3,000 enemies. The Beidi troops in the city fled in panic.
"After the capture of Chehe City, heavy snow fell. The Chu army generals at that time were afraid of encountering an ambush and did not dare to go deeper. However, a military officer who had served under Geng Zhong insisted on rescuing Geng Zhong.
"So, the Chu army gave him 2,000 men and went to rescue him via the Beishan Road.
"If it is true, as you infer, that the role of this military officer is also you, then you should not go to the southeast, but to the northeast, taking the North Mountain Road towards Chehe City.
"General Geng Zhong probably thought that Chehe City was still occupied by the Beidi people, but in fact, the Chu army happened to capture this place when you were besieged."
Zhao Haiping couldn't help but be overjoyed: "I understand!"
Sure enough, Chu Ge is reliable.
The corresponding information has been found so quickly.
But this is obviously not enough. Although there is a specific direction, which one is the so-called "North Mountain Road"? Which direction should I run after riding a horse?
These are also problems.
Chu Ge did some research again and listed the general direction and route he calculated for Zhao Haiping. He also roughly marked the location through the current satellite map.
Zhao Haiping silently remembered all these contents in his heart.
The preparations are almost complete, but when it comes to the actual game, you may still be blinded in the wind and snow.
But no matter what, he still has unlimited opportunities to try.
Zhao Haiping asked: "How is your copy of Scribes?"
Chu Ge: "There is progress, and I estimate that I will be able to complete the level in about a day."
Zhao Haiping asked: "What is the main difficulty in the scribe dungeon? I also think that after clearing the warrior dungeon, you can also check out other trial dungeons."
Chu Ge: "This can't be explained in a few words. In short, I have to find a way to use the concepts of that era to refute the officials and even the emperor who came to interrogate. Not only the content must be carefully studied, but the expression must be sincere...
"In short, the acting requirements are not as high as those of the assassin copy.
"But for a dungeon like this, you should be able to come up with a rough guide after clearing it once. Once you have the script, as long as you memorize it a few times and practice it a few times, you should be able to pass it.
“What is more painful is the process of land reclamation.
"But it's also the most fun."
Zhao Haiping: "OK, then I'll just wait and copy my homework."
…
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Zhao Haiping came to the company on time.
Since he started playing "Dark Sand", he felt like he had gained two extra hours out of thin air.
The two hours from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. every morning are basically spent studying the strategy for "Dark Sand".
No, to be precise, it should be nearly an extra day. After all, sleeping at night is like traveling to another world and experiencing another life.
Quickly go through all the work you need to do to make sure nothing is missed.
He is just an ordinary clerk, and his usual work content is not much, otherwise he would not have so much time to play games.
Open the forum again to check the situation of other players.
"Ansha" has been in official closed beta for three days, and discussions among netizens have gradually become heated.
Previously, the closed beta qualifications for "Dark Sand" were sold at sky-high prices online, but some players tried to trade them and found out that the closed beta qualifications could not be traded at all!
Even if you buy or sell accounts, others will not be able to log in at all!
No one knows how the official "Dark Sand" is able to identify different players who log in to the same account, but considering that the game official has mastered so many black technologies in consciousness connection, it seems that it is not that easy to identify players through brainwave ripples.
Outrageous.
Scalpers originally thought that with the popularity of "Dark Sand", they would find another outlet to make huge profits, but unexpectedly, their expectations were dashed.
The players in the closed beta test are all racking their brains to pass the level. Basically, the initial contents of the four dungeons have been exposed online. Players who are not qualified for the closed test are also offering suggestions, but until now, there has not been any one.
The player clears any novice trial copy.
But there is progress.
For example, in the Assassin's Trial dungeon, some people have continuously polished their acting skills and successfully obtained the opportunity to offer a treasure to Emperor Yan Ling. Unfortunately, they were too cunning and were killed by Emperor Yan Ling before they could even pull out the sword.
.
Zhao Haiping searched for the Martial Soldier Trial dungeon again and found that the vast majority of people are still stuck in the second stage. They were hacked by the Beidi barbarians and doubted their lives. They didn't even realize that the start of the second stage was different from the first stage.
related.
This makes Zhao Haiping look forward to his first pass even more.
…
10 at night.
Zhao Haiping can't wait to enter the game world of "Dark Sand" again.
It's still the same as before. As soon as the game starts, go directly to General Geng Zhong and take the initiative to ask for help to move reinforcements.
So, in the heavy snow, Zhao Haiping once again rode out of the city alone.
At this time, the Beidi barbarians also began to attack the city.
General Geng Zhong was directing the battle at the top of the city while looking in the direction of Zhao Haiping.
Several barbarian soldiers noticed the deputy general and immediately chased him.
All the soldiers on the city were sweating, but then they saw Zhao Haiping turn around, draw his bow and arrow, and shoot these Beidi barbarians off their horses!
"good!"
The soldiers couldn't help but feel boosted in morale.
But before Zhao Haiping disappeared into the heavy snow, a soldier exclaimed: "General! The direction he went to...is not southeast!"
As soon as these words came out, the fire of hope that had just been ignited in the eyes of these battle-hardened veterans in the city gradually extinguished.
Although they all know that in this kind of weather, it is difficult to break through the siege of Beidi barbarians. Even if they break through, it will be difficult to get reinforcements. Even if they move reinforcements, they will probably not be able to make it in time...
But after all, there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart.
But now, everyone felt chilled when they saw that Zhao Haiping was not heading to the southeast, but seemed to be heading towards Chehe City, which was occupied by Beidi barbarians.
It seemed that the wind and snow were so heavy that it was difficult to discern the direction.
General Geng Zhong also turned his head and stopped looking. He and this lieutenant had been in love for decades and had long been in love, but he also knew very well that if they separated now, they would be separated forever.
But there is nothing we can do at this time, we can only make peace with our destiny.
He suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted loudly: "Soldiers of Great Chu!
