Chapter 242 The first stage of the fierce battle

When Zhao Haiping rushed back again, he found that the golden soldiers did not charge forward again.

Because they are timid!

Hesitation and fear can clearly be seen on the faces of these golden soldiers.

Obviously, they were frightened by Zhao Haiping's battle!

At this time, there was actually no large-scale battle between the two sides. Zhao Haiping only rushed into the enemy formation and provoked a few young generals. However, the Jin's cavalry unit actually did not suffer any major attrition.

In fact, Wang Fang and the hundred-man cavalry team did not actually start fighting with the Jin soldiers, but just pressed forward.

But this put great pressure on these Jin cavalry!

Immediately afterwards, Wang Fang and others saw an incredible scene.

These arrogant Jin cavalry actually withdrew!

At first, there were just a few Jin soldiers who wanted to retreat, but were stopped by the generals among them. But soon, after a quick discussion, the remaining generals finally made up their minds and fled.

Of course, Zhao Haiping did not continue to chase. After all, he also knew that there were no reinforcements from the Qi Dynasty nearby. It seemed very enthusiastic to rush over at this time, but if he really ran into the follow-up troops of the Jin people, he would be defeated instead.

It's cloudy.

Therefore, Zhao Haiping pretended to pursue him for a while, then turned back and returned to the team.

"Brother Zhao, you...you are so awesome! How did you do this?

"Without even a single soldier, these Jin men were able to get wind of it and run away!"

Wang Fang obviously still had difficulty understanding what was happening in front of him.

The scene of Zhao Haiping chasing more than two hundred Jin soldiers on horseback left a deep impression on him.

At this moment, in the eyes of these Qi Dynasty soldiers, Zhao Haiping's back was like a god descending to earth.

What makes Wang Fang very confused is that even if Zhao Haiping provokes a few Jin soldiers, it won't cause such a heavy blow to the morale of the Jin soldiers, right?

The golden soldiers at this time were extremely fierce and could not be frightened by an enemy.

Therefore, when Wang Fang led his men to charge forward, he was actually prepared for a fierce battle, but he didn't expect that it would all end much simpler than he imagined.

Zhao Haiping explained: “When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.

"We are worried that there is an ambush behind the Jin people, so why not the Jin people?"

Only then did Wang Fang suddenly realize: "That's it!"

Obviously, several of the Jin soldiers that Zhao Haiping provoked were probably low-level officers with a small status. And these low-level officers actually maintained the grass-roots command and operation of the entire army.

Losing so many young generals right from the start will inevitably lead to poor command of the Jin's cavalry and seriously affect their combat effectiveness.

It was through this opportunity that Zhao Haiping was able to accurately find the gaps among these cavalrymen and charge left and right, as if entering an uninhabited land.

The more important reason is that the Jin people actually do not know the details of this Qi army.

As Zhao Haiping judged, this Jin soldiers were not the elite vanguard of a large force, but just a small force responsible for exploring nearby areas and plundering them.

Since going south, the Jin people have been basically invincible when encountering the troops of the Qi Dynasty, winning battle after battle with overwhelming momentum.

Many of the so-called elite troops of the Qi Dynasty simply fled.

This makes the Jin people feel more or less underestimating the enemy.

But this time, Zhao Haiping's heroic performance confused the Jin people. They couldn't figure out why there was such a fierce general in the Qi army.

Some assassin players had no intention of staying in Cenqiaoyi from the beginning. They felt that ambushing the golden soldiers here would be a dead end, so they simply ran to the capital to help defend the city. Anyway, they killed the golden soldiers in the same way when defending the city. In the chaos

On the battlefield, it is easier to take advantage of assassination;

Some ranger players immediately changed their minds after finding out that they couldn't defeat them. They wanted to take these Green Foresters and the people in the village and escape to the mountains to see if this would count;

Because the scribe players were in the capital, they played the most tricks. Some even tried to buy murderers, and killed all the ministers and ministers. However, because the conspiracy was exposed, they were sent to the police on the spot...

Players also began to try various secret codes to determine each other's identities using code words that would only be understood by future generations, hoping to find absolutely trustworthy allies in advance during the upcoming Jingping Incident.

But so far, although the best players are gradually completing enough "positive impacts" and gradually conquering the first stage of the plot, no player has really been able to perform some cool operations.

Avoid the Jingkang Incident.

The consultant said: "Didn't you originally plan to allow players to freely change this historical slice? Now it seems that this purpose has not been achieved at all."

Meng Yuan shook his head slightly: "Of course we want them to let go and change this historical slice, but the time has not yet come.

"Because they don't have enough anger and motivation to transform this historical slice, and the power they have is not enough.

“That’s why I asked them to clear the first stage before they can unlock subsequent content.

"Based on the current situation, it should be soon. On the first night, there should be many players who can pass the first stage of the trial..."



Countless trial illusions are constantly running in the space of the Orderer.

Some trial illusions have ended in a short period of time, and the four players in them failed for one reason or another; there are also some trial illusions that can last for a long time, and the players in them may be far away from clearing the first stage.

, just one step away.

After the player fails and decides to enter a new trial illusion, a new trial illusion will be generated in the sequencer space, and three other players who also want to start over will be matched with him.

Since there are so many players in Dark Sands, and the Orderer's power can actually warp time, this match can be made undetectable to players.

With the unremitting efforts of the players, the first phase of the game content has finally begun to come to an end.



Cenqiao Yizhong.

The Jin soldiers' siege continued as usual and did not last too long.

Several Jin soldiers held their butcher knives high and rushed into the depths of Cenqiaoyi with excitement on their faces.

Of course they knew that there might still be forces of resistance here, but as the Jin troops crossed the border, these resistances were meaningless.

What's more, the Qi soldiers along the way were all on the verge of collapse, so these Jin soldiers had already completely ignored any resistance.

After all, even if a few golden soldiers rush forward, they can scare the Qi army of hundreds of people into fleeing.

That being the case, what else is there to be afraid of?

Therefore, these golden soldiers unknowingly relaxed their vigilance and just wanted to rush in as quickly as possible. After all, the further forward they rushed, the more likely they were to plunder gold and silver and murder women and children.

There was nothing left but ruins, and nothing could be found.

With a "bang", the closed door was kicked open, and Jin Bing broke in with a sharp knife. Immediately afterwards, frightened screams, angry curses, and perhaps a few pleas came from the house, but

With the sound of the blade cutting across and blood splattering on the wall, everything fell into silence.

And these golden soldiers obviously enjoyed this moment.

A tall and strong Jin soldier looked at the wound on his left arm indifferently. It was stabbed by a Qi Dynasty defender when he climbed onto the low city wall of Cenqiaoyi.

But he did not rest because of this minor injury, but continued to rush in. His desire for gold, silver and women had made him feel no pain at all.

Arriving at a spacious mansion, the golden soldier realized that maybe this was the big fat sheep he had been waiting for.

What surprised him even more was that after killing and looting, he actually saw a corner of bright clothes in the woodpile of the woodshed.

"Come out!"

Jin Bing brandished a sharp knife with his right hand, and violently opened the pile of firewood with his left hand.

Then, he saw hiding in the firewood pile a woman whose face was covered with pot ashes and who had deliberately smeared herself to look ugly.

It's a pity that this kind of self-vilification doesn't make much sense after all, because Jin Bing can still tell from her face shape and clothes that she is probably a naturally beautiful lady.

A proud smile appeared on Jin Bing's face. From his point of view, it seemed that he was going to return home with a full harvest this time.

The long knife was placed on the woman's neck. Jin Bing watched triumphantly as she trembled like chaff. Then everything seemed to be logical. He took her to a nearby wing and prepared to torture her wantonly.

The Jin soldiers did not put away their swords, nor did they lower their vigilance. After all, other Jin soldiers had not entered the city in large numbers at this time, and there might be resistance in the city at any time.

So even at this time, Jin Bing's right hand was still holding the long sword tightly.

After the two of them arrived at the wing, the woman in front of them faced Jin Bing's pressing step by step. As if she had accepted her fate, she was forced to lean forward a little. Then, her left elbow naturally fell on Jin Bing's.

On the right hand holding the knife.

The next second, Jin Bing suddenly saw murderous intent on this woman's face!

Xia Ruoling suddenly ran into Jin Bing's arms, pressed his chest with her left shoulder, and suppressed his right hand with the elbow of her left hand so that the long knife in his hand could not be cut. Then his right hand lowered, originally

The dagger hidden in his sleeve suddenly slipped and was held in his palm.

Then, Xia Ruoling's right hand thrust out like lightning, accurately passing through the gaps in the armor and ribs on Jin Bing's chest, instantly piercing his heart!

“Ding-deng-deng!”

Jin Bing was knocked back several steps by this sudden and huge force. He seemed to have no idea why this lady-like woman in front of him could suddenly burst out with such terrifying power.

He was still trying hard to resist, but after hitting the wall, he felt the dagger twisting hard on his chest, instantly taking away all his strength.

He wanted to shout, but at some point, Xia Ruoling's left hand had covered his mouth, preventing him from making any sound.

After a short period of time, Xia Ruoling pushed Jin Bing's body gently, then pulled out the dagger to avoid the direction of the blood spurting.

Then, she turned to look at Cenqiao Station where beacon smoke was already burning, turned around and blended in with the refugees, and continued to the next ambush location.



The streets of the capital.

Li Hongyun carried his bow and arrived in front of the largest restaurant in the capital.

"No matter what, let's have a good meal first!"

This is already Li Hongyun's seventh life.

Before, he had been trying to fight to the death at Cenqiao Station, but he died miserably every time.

Not to mention killing Wan Yan Sheng, even killing a low-level officer is not easy!

This was the first time that Li Hongyun regretted his identity as an assassin.

After all, he is a skilled assassin, unlike top assassins like Xia Ruoling who have such deep accumulation in disguise, concealment, layout, etc.

Moreover, he uses long-range weapons, not short weapons.

This means that the success rate of assassinating one person may be very high, but it will not work at all when encountering consecutive assassinations.

So, after repeatedly hitting the wall, Li Hongyun finally decided not to give in. He ran out of Cenqiaoyi and came to the capital before the city was closed.

He thought that his style of play was really not suitable for fighting alone.

After all, there are no advanced flintlock guns in this world.

Perhaps he can play his greatest role in the battle to defend the capital. All the enemy kills then should count, right?

Arriving at the door of the restaurant, Li Hongyun was about to step in when he suddenly felt a sudden movement and found that there was a signboard with a few lines of words on the signboard at the door.

During the Qi Dynasty, the commercial economy and brothel culture were very developed.

Every New Year and festival, students from all over the country will hold literary gatherings. If there are any good words to say at the literary gathering, someone will spread the word throughout the city that night.

These restaurants and brothels will display the students' excellent lyrics at the door for people to praise them.

And those courtesans in brothels will immediately sing these lyrics according to the word cards, which has the feeling of modern pop songs.

However, what was placed at the door of the restaurant at this time was not a poem, but a couplet.

"Smoke Lock Pond Willow!"

Moreover, it is clearly written next to the first couplet that any person with lofty ideals who can match this couplet and has the ambition to fight against the Jin Dynasty may directly meet with the current third-rank official, Yu Shi Zhongcheng, to discuss the plan to fight against the Jin Dynasty, and

You may get a recommendation and find an official position because of this.

Li Hongyun looked suspicious at first, but then he suddenly realized.

He seemed to have thought of something, and quickly came to the restaurant, called the waiter, and asked about the couplet.

The waiter immediately respectfully asked Li Hongyun aside and presented him with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

According to the waiter in the store, the imperial censor Zhongcheng requested that the hotel provide pens, ink, paper and inkstones for anyone who came to write the second couplet, write the title and signature, and then wait in the restaurant. Moreover, they could not finish the second couplet.

If you take a peek, you must immediately send it to the censor Zhongcheng's house.

Li Hongyun couldn't help but feel more sure. After the waiter turned around, he picked up the brush, splashed ink, and wrote five characters in a crooked font that looked like chicken claws.

Rust blocks the range hood!

Then, he left his name, waited for the ink on the paper to dry, folded it, put it in an envelope, and handed it to the waiter.

Not long after, a carriage stopped at the door of the restaurant and took Li Hongyun to the residence of the Censor Zhongcheng.

It has to be said that Yushi Zhongcheng is a third-grade official after all. This mansion is quite grand, which also makes Li Hongyun regret a little: he should have chosen the scribe status to start the trial!

If this idea is known to other assassin players, they will definitely sneer at them: traitors of assassin players!

Li Hongyun would retort: ​​I originally wanted to be a scribe, but I changed my career halfway!

Not long after, the censor Zhongcheng came quickly.

A green forest man and a court official, who seemed completely out of place and with a huge gap in status, each stepped forward and held each other's hands tightly.

"Brother, I've finally waited for you!"

Li Hongyun had tears in his eyes. Ever since he entered this trial illusion, he, a poor Green Forester with an identity as an assassin, had had enough of the Jin people's bullying.

At Cenqiaoyi, I had no friends and received lunch boxes countless times. The tragedy of being killed by Jin soldiers every time was still vivid in my mind.

And this time, I finally found other players!

Li Hongyun asked: "I am Li Hongyun, what is your name?"

I saw a strange look on the face of the censor Zhongcheng: "I...I am Chu Ge..."

Both of them looked a little embarrassed. They looked at each other carefully, and then they realized that they could actually see each other's shadows in each other's eyebrows.

In this trial illusion, the players' original appearance has been deeply made up. It is not obvious at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see it.

Li Hongyun was very angry: "I said, where has my good luck gone? How come I haven't met Wan Yansheng even once! It turns out that I used it all to match you!"



With a "swish" sound, Huo Yunying shook off the blood on the sword.

Several other golden soldiers got on their horses in panic and ran away.

Huo Yunying wanted to eradicate the problem, but after all, the horses of these golden men were much faster than the horses of green forest men. Even if they could chase down one or two people, the outcome would not be fundamentally different.

Looking at the green forest people, the eyes they looked at him were almost like worshiping gods.

"Iron ropes control mountains and rivers" Yuan Zhiyong looked at Huo Yunying with respectful eyes: "Mr. Duan, what should we do next?"

At this time, these green forest people and the gathered people were completely following Huo Yunying's lead.

Because his series of previous performances really shocked these people.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with describing it as "a complete strategy".

Huo Yunying sighed silently in her heart, I don't want to portray myself as someone who knows all the tricks and has superb martial arts skills, but it won't work if I don't do this!

How do you know how many times I was tortured by the golden man!

At the beginning, Huo Yunying's plan was perfect but the execution was sparse, so he had no choice but to change his tactics again and again.

Based on the time, direction, approximate number of people, and various details of the Jin people's entry into the small village, Huo Yunying changed the battle plan again and again, trying to maximize the combat effectiveness of these green forest people and avoid them as much as possible in the plan.

His recklessness brought too many variables to the battle plan.

In short, after trying various methods, the entire village was finally saved with many people injured and no one dead.

But even so, this is not the end.

Huo Yunying originally thought that the field of vision would be filled with white mist at this time, and he would directly enter the second stage, but unfortunately it did not.

This also means that he has to continue to struggle here.

“Why didn’t we enter the second phase?

"Is it because those golden soldiers escaped?

"Save people to the end, send Buddha to the west... If it ends now, more golden soldiers will definitely come to take revenge soon. By then, this small village will still be unable to escape the fate of being massacred..."

After thinking about it for a while, Huo Yunying roughly figured out the current situation.

So, he looked at the Green Forest people and the villagers: "Everyone pack up quickly and only bring gold, silver, clothing and food.

"Let's go into the mountains!"



On the low city wall of Pingding County, Zhao Haiping looked into the distance.

Dark clouds over the city.

The forward scouts of the Jin soldiers have arrived at the foot of Pingding County, and further away, many Jin soldiers are setting up camp.

After carrying out several sentinel missions, the situation on the battlefield began to take a turn for the worse.

The biggest bad news came: Taiyuan fell.

Sure enough, after a short rest, Jin Bing's West Route Army began to further sweep the prefectures and counties around Taiyuan, as well as the entire Hedong Road.

The Pingding Army was stationed on the only road from Taiyuan City to the capital, so it naturally became an inevitable target for the Jin people to capture.

Although the terrain here is dangerous, the city is not large, the population is not large, and the entire Pingding Army only has about 3,000 people.

Zhao Haiping looked at the golden soldiers pressing in from the distance like black clouds, and silently sighed: "If I can survive this battle...can I pass the first stage?"
