There was a crisp sound, and the sword was unsheathed three inches.
Under the night, the cold light is biting.
Fan Cun carefully looked at the sword in his hand, and saw that the sword looked like autumn water, as if reflecting the cold light of the stars in the sky.
On the place where the scabbard is taken out, there are two small characters engraved on it: Tangxi.
"It looks like a sword.
"It's no wonder that in the poems written by Yu Jiaxuan, all weapons are related to swords.
"I've used spears too much. It's not bad to use swords this time."
As a player known for his combat prowess, Fan Cun's combat talent is obviously undoubted. Moreover, players are actually not that dependent on the type of weapons.
Although Fan Cun prefers to use a spear, there is no problem in using a sword occasionally.
Because players are different from those historical figures. If historical figures want to use a weapon well, they need decades of hard training. Except for a few talented martial arts masters, it is generally difficult to really master all eighteen weapons. Very proficient in practice.
But players are different. Players have the blessing of the sequencer's talent and the muscle memory of the historical figures themselves.
For example, many players previously improved their swordsmanship to a pretty good level in the Assassin Trial through "Sword Mastery" and the body of Nie Rang, the number one swordsman at the time.
Fan Cun had also practiced at that time, so he still had some confidence in his swordsmanship.
Although he is not as confident as his spear skills, it is easy to use against ordinary enemies.
"As an outstanding scholar, Yu Jiaxuan prefers to use swords, which is in line with his temperament.
"Hmm... Judging from his muscle memory, he seems to be a master of swordsmanship?"
Fan Cun gestured twice casually, feeling the muscle memory of this body, and became more and more certain that Yu Jiaxuan was by no means an ordinary person.
Weapons like swords cannot be used by ordinary people.
Because the traditional Chinese one-handed sword is extremely difficult to use and is very unsuitable for group battles, swords have not been deployed in large-scale armies since the Chu Dynasty. Even secondary weapons have basically been replaced by knives.
Even later, the sword was often used as an accessory for gentlemen or high-ranking generals, and its role in battle gradually decreased.
Of course, this does not mean that swords are purely decorative. The reason why they are so popular is of course not only because of their appearance, but also has certain advantages in itself.
The sword is light and agile, and the victory lies in speed and skill.
Swords are lighter than knives of the same length, and the sword's attack methods are more diverse. Whether it is stabbing, chopping or teasing, more emphasis is placed on technique, and the attack speed is also faster.
When fighting with swords, although the sword has an advantage in strength, the sword is faster, and the straight line between two points is the shortest, so the stabbing speed will inevitably be faster than the slashing speed.
If the opponent's sword has just been raised, and your own sword has already touched the opponent's wrist or other vital points, then the winner will naturally be determined in an instant.
Of course, using a sword to stab a specific location requires excellent speed and accuracy, so it is much more difficult to use.
So in the final analysis, the reason why the knife can replace the sword as the standard weapon in the army is that the knife is more versatile and requires less training.
But some real swordsman masters are definitely more difficult to deal with than ordinary people who use knives. This is especially true in some small-scale battles.
Fan Cun was thinking, if he didn't succeed this time and couldn't defeat the Yunfeng monk, he could try to memorize the terrain and look for talents such as sword mastery next time to improve his combat effectiveness. .
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Fan Cun looked up and saw smoke and dust rising at the end of the road. A fast horse was galloping towards him. Sitting on it was a bald man. There was no doubt that it was Monk Yunfeng.
Several close associates of the rebels who were accompanying him could no longer hold back any longer and took out their weapons one after another.
While Fan Cun was on his way, the flow of time in the system accelerated, and two full days and nights had passed.
During this period of time, Yu Jiaxuan, played by Fan Cun, and the rebels were working non-stop, with almost no rest time. Only then did they search for traces and rush to Monk Yunfeng's only way to the Jin Army camp.
.
When he finally saw his enemy, he was naturally sharpening his sword and wanted to kill him immediately.
Fan Cunyi raised his hand: "Don't move, leave this person to me!"
After saying that, he clamped his legs between the horse's belly and ran towards Monk Yunfeng.
Monk Yunfeng did not notice Fan Cun at first. His expression was obviously quite relaxed. This may be because he did not expect anyone to follow him.
When he saw a fast horse suddenly charging out towards him, and quickly seeing the identity of the person on the horse, Monk Yunfeng became frightened and jerked the reins of the horse.
The law——
The war horse instantly stood up, and at the same time, Fan Cun's sword had arrived!
Fan Cun was riding a horse, still using the spear style. The moment the two horses crossed each other, they stabbed Monk Yunfeng in the chest. However, he did not expect that Monk Yunfeng's horse stood up and blocked this attack by accident.
sword.
With a "pop" sound, Tangxi's sword pierced the horse's belly.
The war horse whined and fell to the ground.
Monk Yunfeng was beaten to pieces, and his mind went blank for a moment. But when he came to his senses, Yu Jiaxuan, played by Fan Cun, had already neatly dismounted from his horse and walked towards him with a bloody sword.
Come.
Monk Yunfeng was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy without hesitation.
"Brother Yu! I know that you are the reincarnation of Qingsi, with great power and great fortune in the future. I am just a shameless villain, and I was obsessed with it for a while. You, sir, have a lot, so please spare me... ah!"
Before Monk Yunfeng finished speaking, Fan Cun had already pierced his chest with his sword.
Then, he instantly drew out his sword and slashed it across his neck.
With a "pop" sound, the head fell to the ground.
Fan Cun found the handsome seal from Monk Yunfeng's package, picked up his head and threw it to one of his men.
"Let's go back!"
On the way back, Fan Cun was in a good mood.
It was just as enjoyable as when he played General Qin Kaiyun and passed the cavalry trial.
He had already felt before that Yu Jiaxuan's body was quite strong and he was an out-and-out macho man, but when he actually used it, he realized that he had underestimated it.
Whether it is riding a horse or dancing with a sword, it can be said that it is almost as smooth as an arm and a finger!
Although these top players have good combat skills, they are still restricted by the original owner's body in the dungeon.
If you are lucky enough to meet a historical figure with top physical fitness like General Qin Kaiyun, it will be a great success.
And if you are unlucky and control only the body of an ordinary farmer or even a scholar, then no matter how good your skills are, your skills will be greatly compromised.
But now, Yu Jiaxuan is obviously a scholar, but his physical fitness is very good, not inferior to ordinary generals at all!
Of course, considering that he has not experienced long-term battle training, it is definitely impossible to become a pure war machine like Qin Kaiyun and General Deng Yuanjing, but there is no doubt that with his excellent talent alone, he is enough to squeeze into
The ranks of top-notch generals.
"Among those who write lyrics, they are the best at fighting. Among those who are good at fighting, they are the best at writing lyrics? Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
"However, the beginning of this dungeon is a bit too simple. Just track the traitors all the way, kill them, and that's it?
"I thought this Monk Yunfeng was some great master, but it turned out that it was all for nothing."
Fan Cun felt vaguely uneasy because this task was too simple to complete, which was not in line with the usual urinary nature of the game "Dark Sand".
There were no special events on the way back, so the progress in the game was accelerated.
Not long after, Fan Cun led his people back to the rebel camp.
It was only after I came back that I realized something was wrong.
What...a mess?
There are more than 100,000 rebels. Although the conditions in the camp are not very good due to the shortage of supplies, they are still a lively scene.
But now, the camp is in chaos, many tents are empty, the ground is a mess, and some people are even packing up their things to escape.
Fan Cun couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart. He quickly came to the camp, grabbed a rebel and asked, "What's going on?"
The face of the rebel was ashen: "Yes, it's Ma Anbang! He has been rebellious for a long time. Yesterday, he secretly communicated with the Jin soldiers to attack the camp and killed Marshal Geng...!
"Now the reputation of the rebel army has been completely destroyed, the morale of the army has been weakened, and all the troops have fled for their lives and gone their separate ways..."
Fan Cunren fainted.
Sure enough, this game will definitely not arrange such simple tasks.
Chasing Monk Yunfeng is just an appetizer, this is the first highlight!
As a player who has not learned about relevant historical materials before, it is normal to be confused.
Who would have thought that a rebel camp with hundreds of thousands of people would collapse overnight?
But if you think about it carefully, this is very reasonable.
These rebels were originally formed from various rebel armies that rose up under the rule of the Jin people, and there were also speculators like Monk Yunfeng among them.
Marshal Geng was the only person in the entire rebel army who could subdue them.
But now, Ma Anbang suddenly rebelled and colluded with the Jin people to enter the rebel camp and killed Marshal Geng. This will inevitably cause the morale of the entire rebel army to collapse instantly. And the generals who originally had their own ideas can no longer be united.
, they can only go their separate ways.
An army of hundreds of thousands was facing the fate of disintegration.
Fan Cun frowned. The matter had come to this, and it was useless to say anything else. For him, the final thing he wanted was to quickly think about what the next dungeon mission would be?
Recruit everyone and rebuild the rebel team?
Disaster!
First of all, Yu Jiaxuan's status in the rebel army was not very high. Although he brought more than 2,000 people and was the seal official, he could barely have some influence on the decision-making of the rebel army, but this influence was different from other people with real power.
Compared with the generals, it is definitely not enough.
What virtue and ability can he have to make all these generals with military power listen to him?
Just chasing down Monk Yunfeng and regaining the commander's seal would still be difficult to convince the public.
Secondly, many leaders of the rebel army have already left with their own people. It can be said that the rebel camp has been dispersed. It is probably too unrealistic to chase these people back one by one.
What's more, this Jin Bing raid has frightened many rebels. Even Marshal Geng is dead. What can these defeated soldiers do?
They are no longer optimistic about the prospects of the rebels, so whatever the player does at this time is in vain.
Fan Cun was speechless: "Damn it, I hate using my brain the most!
"What on earth do you want me to do!"
According to his character of being irresolute and reckless when faced with trouble, of course he would seek revenge if he had any grudges and complain if he had any grudges.
Let’s kill the named enemies first!
This Ma Anbang... I wonder if it would be difficult to kill?
Thinking of this, Fan Cun raised his arms and shouted: "Ma Anbang colluded with the Jin people to kill Marshal Geng. How can we not avenge him? Is there anyone willing to join me in killing Ma Anbang and avenging Marshal Geng?"
Unexpectedly, many people responded to this shout.
Although hundreds of thousands of rebels have dispersed, there are still many martyrs among those who remain, including Chen Shilong, Zhang Jun and other rebel generals who have also expressed their willingness to go.
So soon, Fan Cun actually assembled a cavalry team of more than a thousand people.
Among these people, General Chen Shilong and Chen had the highest status, so he led a cavalry force of more than a thousand people to attack the garrison where Ma Anbang was at this time.
Half an hour later.
At the beginning of the resurrection dungeon, Fan Cun silently looked at the sky, a little doubtful about life.
"That's not right...
"This Ma Anbang has taken refuge with the Jin people, and now he is the governor of a state, with 50,000 troops under his command...
"Let alone one thousand cavalry, even five thousand cavalry will be difficult to win, right?
"Even if you want to copy the operation of killing enemy generals in formation like General Qin Kaiyun, this manpower is completely insufficient, right?"
Fan Cun scratched his head, very puzzled.
With an intelligence of 1, he will naturally get stuck, but it doesn't matter, you can check the strategy.
Fan Cun temporarily quit the game and planned to go online to see if there were any ready-made answers that he could copy.
…
At the same time, Li Hongyun, like Fan Cun, looked up at the sky and doubted life.
His gaming experience is very similar to Fan Cun.
In the process of chasing Monk Yunfeng, they did not encounter many obstacles. In fact, even if they did not have the talent of finding traces, they only needed to bring the rebel cavalry who were familiar with the route and ambush the Jin army in advance.
Monk Yunfeng can also be stopped on the only way to the camp.
Even if you don't succeed once, you will always succeed if you try several times.
But then, Li Hongyun also encountered Fan Cun's problem, and his reaction was similar to Fan Cun's.
Li Hongyun persuaded Chen Shilong and others to take fifty cavalry to capture Ma Anbang.
As a result, he was naturally hung up and beaten by the 50,000 troops in Ma Anbang's camp, and his European Emperor attributes had no effect.
Anyway, whether it was Fan Cun's thousand cavalry or Li Hongyun's fifty cavalry, they had already sent them without even seeing Ma Anbang's men.
Of course, the two men made similar choices, but their motivations were completely different.
Fan Cun's motive was pure recklessness. He couldn't think of what the next mission target would be, so he thought of leading someone to kill the traitor.
But Li Hongyun did this because he had done his homework and knew the true records in history.
But after operating it, I found that it was not the case at all...
Li Hongyun did not make any more unnecessary attempts, but calmed down and began to analyze.
"It's strange. Judging from historical records, this is how it should be done.
"The original text of the historical data says, '(Yu Jiaxuan) led fifty horsemen with his bare hands, bound the horses to stabilize the country among fifty thousand people, just like holding a rabbit. He tied the horse with a piece of title, played in the Huaihe River in Guanxi, and did not eat a grain of food all day and night. He made a great and heroic voice,
Cowards rise up because of it! The Holy Emperor sighed three times when he saw it.'
"Translated, it means that with fifty cavalry, Ma Anbang was tied up among 50,000 enemy troops, and then they ran all the way, broke through the encirclement and went south, and did not rest until they crossed the Huai River, leaving the pursuers far away.
Then this deed became so famous that even the emperor of Qi Dynasty sighed for it.
"But...how is this possible?"
Li Hongyun originally wanted to copy the standard answers, but unexpectedly he failed miserably.
So I had to go through it all over again.
"First of all, the goal is to capture Ma Anbang, whether he is captured alive or killed, in short, he must be killed, and capturing him alive is the best. Secondly, he must successfully break through and return to the Qi Dynasty before he can proceed to the next stage of the challenge.
"This is quite in line with the situation at that time."
After a brief analysis, Li Hongyun found that arresting Ma Anbang was the only option at that time.
At that time, the rebel army had already dispersed. With Yu Jiaxuan's reputation at the time, it was basically impossible to gather all these people together again with just one call.
As a rebel at that time, the biggest goal was naturally to gather as many people as possible and join the Qi Dynasty.
After all, they are in the area ruled by the Jin Army. Although there are hundreds of thousands of people, they actually do not have very strong combat power. Once the Jin Army frees up their hands, they will be completely annihilated.
The Jin Army doesn't even need to take action personally, as long as they find a way to instigate rebellion, it will be enough to disintegrate the rebel army.
Marshal Geng was stabbed to death by Ma Anbang during the rebellion, which also illustrates this point.
Therefore, Marshal Geng and Yu Jiaxuan had been busy trying to join the Qi Dynasty, but they were interrupted because of Marshal Geng's death.
Now if Yu Jiaxuan wants to realize his ambition, he still has to return to the Qi Dynasty and take more people with him.
And taking more people away still requires reputation.
How can I be famous?
It's very simple. Killing Ma Anbang is the greatest reputation.
It is conceivable that if Ma Anbang can really be captured alive, it will definitely be a huge encouragement to the rebels. Then at least some of the rebels will gather together again, and there will be the possibility of "turning the tide".
At that time, Yu Jiaxuan decided to risk going deep into the enemy camp to capture Ma Anbang. This was probably due to such considerations, not just the bravery of "eager for revenge".
Yu Jiaxuan may be a fierce man, but he is also a knowledgeable and talented scholar, and he is by no means a brainless fool.
Therefore, the key question is stuck in this last step.
How could fifty knights capture the leader Ma Anbang among fifty thousand people, and also successfully break through and go south?
Li Hongyun originally thought that this matter was just like what many online articles said, mainly because Yu Jiaxuan was so brave and invincible. Anyway, he just rushed into the enemy camp unreasonably like General Qin Kaiyun, killing people when God blocked him, and killing Buddha when he blocked Buddha.
Fight all the way to Ma Anbang, tie him up, and then go back and kill him the same way.
Then he tried it and the result was that it was sent.
It's simply impossible!
After all, this is the era of cold weapons. Fifty people versus fifty thousand people. No matter how big the gap between individual soldiers is, this is a battle that is absolutely impossible to win.
