"How do you plan to enter the list this time?" The consultant once again asked this critical and sharp question.
Meng Yuan was a little dissatisfied: "Why, in your eyes, am I an Orderer who can only enter the final trial by unlimited expansion of the number of people in the final trial, coupled with secret operations?
"Can't I be upright and enter the player rankings based solely on my own strength...
"The top ten?"
The ginseng merchant showed a friendly smile, as if three characters were written on his face: "What do you think?"
Meng Yuan coughed twice: "It's not a big problem this time!"
The reason why he is so confident is that although there are many illusions in this trial, there are many places where he can operate in secret.
The Huangchao Rebellion is an appetizer. You only need to master the powerful weapon "Qin Wang Breaking Formation Music" to quickly pass the level.
The official chapter of Liang Taizong's copy can be divided into four stages: from the perspective of Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass, the retreat of the Turks during the Wude period, the Xuanwu Gate Change, and the Qi King's perspective of defeating the King of Qin and winning the Xuanwu Gate Change.
Among them, from Dou Jiande's perspective, Li Hongyun's method of setting up formations in his own camp was a simple solution, and the Xuanwu Gate change focused on deduction, both of which were not difficult for Meng Yuan.
From the perspective of King Qi, many golden talents can be superimposed to take effect. For Meng Yuan, this is even simpler.
The only thing that is a bit difficult is to make the Turks retreat during the Wude period. You need to play Liang Taizong. Meng Yuan can only use his acting talent to overcome it, but for other players, isn't it quite difficult?
Therefore, Meng Yuan thought about it, and it should not be a big problem to regain his glory this time and enter the top ten in an upright manner.
At least there is no need to arrange for a hundred players to go in and fight in groups.
…
In the early morning, players wake up one after another and leave the game world of "Dark Sand".
The official forum quickly became lively.
Players almost couldn't wait to start discussing their experience of the dungeon "Now the Universe is Flat".
So far, the top players have basically cleared this dungeon, which took five days.
This is already relatively long compared to the official dungeon that used to take three days to clear.
The difficulty of this dungeon has indeed been significantly improved, and the difficulty increase is in three dimensions: it not only tests the players' ability to study historical materials and discover the truth from them, but also tests the players' acting skills when playing the role of King Qin. In the end, they even used Qi Qi to play.
The King's method tests the players' overall quality with extremely high degree of freedom in gameplay.
Whenever there is a huge shortcoming in one aspect of ability, it is possible to get stuck in one of the links.
However, as a group of top players cleared the level and the clearance video was uploaded to the official website, the players' enthusiasm for discussion was instantly aroused.
"This dungeon is so cool! All the grievances I felt in the Qi Dynasty dungeon have been released!"
"I can only say that comparing people with each other is irritating. Compared with Qi Dynasty and Liang Dynasty, the gap is really huge..."
"Actually, the last dungeon of the Qi Dynasty was quite exciting. After all, I could play as General Han Fuyue and change history. But after the changes, I still felt a little bit empty because I knew they were all fake and the game made our dreams come true. But second,
Feng’s copy is real!”
"Yeah, when I think about those fantasy-like operations that actually happened in history, I feel... incredible!"
"After finishing this dungeon, I can only say that I am convinced by King Qin!"
"Yes, even if I played King Qi and defeated King Qin in the end, I felt from the bottom of my heart that King Qin was the only emperor at that time and the hope of all the people. As an ancient emperor, modern people can't help but admire and respect him.
Worship shows how great he is!"
"Liang Taizong and Sheng Taizu each have their own merits. They are both men who can be called emperors throughout the ages. But if you are a young man, you should like Liang Taizong more. His whole life is as fierce as a young man, and he has almost achieved the ultimate goal of being an inner saint and an outer king.
!”
"Actually, if I were the prince, the best way would be to take the initiative to hand over power and let King Qin take the throne. In this way, it would be the best choice for the world, the people, the Liang Dynasty, and even the prince himself. Of course
, he is the eldest son and has a firm inheritance of legal principles. It is understandable that he is unwilling to hand over power. I can only say that since you have chosen to engage in political struggle with your most talented brother, you will have to bear the consequences of being politically liquidated."
"If it were me, it would be the greatest luck to be able to live in the same era as King Qin, so why would I think of being an enemy of him?"
"I will experience the Xuanwumen changes several more times in the future! Maybe I can discover some details that are not recorded in existing historical materials."
"Hey, aren't you experiencing the time when King Qi was in Jinyang?"
"I wonder what the gameplay will be like in this final trial and the Orderer expedition? Will I be able to fight alongside Liang Taizong?"
"Ah? Wouldn't that be invincible! Liang Taizong charged directly forward, drew his big bow and fired, and we followed behind, waving flags and shouting all the way, and all the monsters fled..."
…
While the players are having heated discussions, the selection rankings for the ultimate trial have also been released.
This time, only the top ten will be taken!
Compared with the previous operation of the Qi Dynasty dungeon, which often had 100 or 45 people, taking only the top ten should be regarded as a return to the original intention.
After all, the ultimate trial was a hard-core challenge that only a very small number of players could experience at the very beginning.
Seeing this number of people, many players felt a little sorry.
It seems there is no chance this time!
If a hundred people were taken, many players would still have the illusion that "there is still hope even if I work hard", but now only ten people are taken, and the players can almost count on their fingers, and they can count more than ten who are far better than themselves.
superior.
However, the players are not too disappointed, because the ultimate trial was not prepared for all players. Now that they have stopped thinking about it early, they can still find time to do other things.
For example, you can clear the Trial of the Man, or you can move bricks in the Fortress of the Orderer and wait to buy new equipment.
Although the weapon technology of the Liang Dynasty will be slightly backward compared to the Qi Dynasty, the game has its own balance. The further forward the dynasty is, the closer the military force will be to the fantasy direction.
At that time, weapons and armor will have extra lethality against monsters.
This change in combat power cannot be seen in simulated trials, because simulated trials are more about recreating real historical scenes.
But during the Orderer expedition, there should be obvious changes.
When it comes to the weapons that players are most looking forward to from the Liang Dynasty, there are only a few types: Hengdao, Modao, and Mingguang Armor!
When the time comes to appear on the battlefield with these types of weapons, it will look very cool just thinking about it.
The top players can't wait to start the exciting ranking activities, while other players are working hard in other fields.
…
10pm the next day.
In the common man trial, Luo Ying is still fighting bloody battles.
He has been fighting this battle at Xiangji Temple for five days, and this is already the sixth day.
Although he was severely frustrated during this period and went to experience Liang Taizong's dungeon to adjust, he eventually returned to the ordinary man's trial.
Because at this time, he was only one step away from winning the battle of Xiangji Temple!
As for the details of his attempt to pass the level, there is actually not much drama, and it can even be said to be boring.
Luo Ying watched the videos of other people clearing the Liang Taizong dungeon, and could clearly feel that it was completely different from the method of clearing the level in the Common Man Trial.
Although there are many war scenes in Liang Taizong's dungeon, when players solve these war scenes, they often break the situation from a tactical perspective.
For example, if you play Dou Jiande in Hulao Pass, you can form a formation in your camp to lure the King of Qin to charge, Ping Xue Ju can predict the time of his death and launch a surprise attack, etc.
However, these methods were completely useless in the battle of Xiangji Temple!
Because the duel between two high-quality and strong armies is often very boring, and even at first glance, it seems that there is no strategy at all.
The battles fought by the King of Qin were often full of drama. Often if the opponent showed a slight flaw, even if it was just fleeting, the King of Qin would catch it in an instant and pursue him fiercely.
But what if neither party makes any mistakes?
The Battle of Xiangji Temple was such an extremely cruel battle.
This battle is between the top Liang Jun and the top Liang Jun, the world's top vs. the world's top.
The tactics, organization, morale, etc. of both sides are all maxed out.
Putting aside what is recorded in history books, if Luo Ying himself was asked to describe the battlefield he saw, it would probably be like this:
The rebel cavalry rushed over and were repulsed by the official army array; the official army pursued them, and the rebels organized a counter-encirclement attack on the official army array, which was almost successful; the official army resisted desperately, but the rebels saw that they could no longer survive, so the forward echelon took turns to cover the retreat.
, the second echelon came up in rotation and continued to fight; the officers and soldiers could no longer withstand it, and after the first echelon withdrew, the reserve echelon came up in rotation...
Just like a meat grinder, on the huge battlefield of more than 200,000 people, countless elites repeatedly charged and retreated in an orderly manner. No one showed any flaws, and no one could do anything to anyone.
Then why not use a surprise attack and outflank them?
The reason is very simple. Of course, the commanders of both sides have thought of such a simple thing, but the outflanking troops were discovered by the other side's scouts as soon as they set off, and the other side immediately sent a reserve team to intercept.
This is the case for both sides, so the initial idea was to outflank them, but once they were discovered, it turned into a head-on confrontation.
The fight continued like this, and throughout the vast battlefield of the Battle of Xiangji Temple, both sides formed the most rigorous formations, and neither could do anything to the other.
In the end, the officers and soldiers were able to win and successfully kill 60,000 people, only for one reason: there were many officers and soldiers.
Because there are many officers and soldiers, even after all surprise attacks and roundabout attempts fail, they can still draw out their troops, use their numerical advantage to create a wider frontal front, and gradually encircle the rebels.
If it is an army of average quality, it will collapse soon after encirclement.
However, after the rebels were surrounded, they fought to the death for another half day. They did not collapse until they were killed by 60,000 people and the death rate exceeded 60%.
In short, in this battle, both sides' tactics were almost used to the extreme.
Even if the rebels are replaced with a better military general, it is almost impossible to tactically reverse the situation of this battle. The only way is to decide in advance not to fight this battle.
And if we replace the officers and soldiers with a better military general, it will be almost impossible to win at a lower cost and in a shorter time.
Therefore, there is no way to take advantage of others.
It is precisely for this reason that to play Li Gaoling, you need to rely on hard power to persist until the end of the battle of Xiangji Temple.
The beginning was still the same. The government troops engaged the rebels. The rebels pretended to be defeated and the government troops pursued them. However, the rebels suddenly organized a cavalry counterattack after pulling back the formation of the government troops, putting the government army's front line at risk.
.
At the critical moment, Li Gaoling took off all his armor inside and outside, directly exposing his upper body, revealing his large muscles, and stood in front of the battle with Mo Dao in hand.
"The country is in danger, and those who commit danger with a common man should start from Gaoling!"
And in front of him, the rebel elite cavalry came overwhelmingly, and the ground shook!
After a moment, Luo Ying's vision dropped and she gained control of Li Gaoling's body.
And he didn't hesitate at all and rushed directly into the enemy's position with long strides!
Of course, the rebel cavalry also saw him. This strong man, who was more than two meters tall and had his upper body exposed, seemed to have a highlight effect among the rebels, making it difficult not to notice.
In fact, although there are few such examples in history, it cannot be said that this is the only one.
There are also records of many generals taking off their armor and engaging in melee combat when they were high, but the results for those people were generally not very good.
Because although taking off the armor can slightly increase one's agility and reduce physical energy consumption, it will directly return the defense to zero.
If you are wearing armor, you may be hit by more than a dozen arrows and be stabbed four or five times and still be alive and kicking. But if you take off your armor, if one is lost, you may die on the spot.
The enemy's first reaction when seeing this scene was not fear, but joy.
Because such a stupid young man often lies down on the battlefield for a second, and after he lies down, it will cause a huge blow to his own morale, and a gap will be quickly cut out in the array.
So, these cavalry rushed towards Luo Ying quickly!
Luo Ying was unafraid and waved the Mo Dao in his hand to cut off the rebels who were rushing forward, both men and horses!
Then, he continued to move forward in the turbulent battlefield, never straying too far from his own formation, but he also kept cleverly changing the battle location to balance the situation between the two sides.
At the beginning, Luo Ying was too aggressive and was knocked down by the enemy cavalry. He was soon trampled by the following cavalry and died.
He thought it might be because his bottom plate was not stable enough, so he later tried to use his talent to make up for it.
But even if the bottom plate is stable, many times they will still be killed in the chaos.
At first he didn't understand what was going on, but soon he realized that it seemed that being reckless was not enough, he still had to pay attention to technique!
Just like the cavalry trials.
The reason why General Qin Kaiyun was able to rush into the enemy's formation was because he found the flaw exposed by the enemy who was changing formations. This allowed him to be invincible and rush directly under the enemy general's cover.
However, Li Gaoling's physical fitness is like a Gundam, and the historical records are unknown, but it is easy for people to overlook this.
Obviously, if dozens of cavalry are charging side by side and the speed has been increased, then no matter how strong Li Gaoling is, it is impossible to stop them.
Because that's not scientific at all.
Even if Li Gaoling's physical fitness is enough to collide with the galloping horses, what if several horses charge side by side? What if several spears come at the same time?
Li Gaoling couldn't just chop down several horses to death with a wave of his Mo Dao, just like mowing grass, right?
Therefore, as a veteran general, Li Gaoling must not be a brainless fool. He must have special methods.
Although the rebels charged in a dense formation with a small gap between cavalry and cavalry, the battle lines of both sides were, after all, very different and entangled with each other.
Therefore, the rebel cavalry could only charge in twos and threes, and it was unlikely that dozens of cavalry would charge side by side.
Moreover, because the battlefield was very chaotic, it was impossible for the rebel cavalry to use a long distance to speed up and maximize the collision force of the war horses.
Taking these two factors into consideration, players have a certain amount of room for maneuver.
Luo Ying consciously rushed towards the chaotic area, specifically targeting those cavalry who had not been able to run completely and whose impact was limited.
In this process, he also paid great attention to protecting himself, basically not letting himself fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.
Although it seems very dangerous to go deep alone, he actually keeps the enemy within the blade of his Mo Dao.
Coupled with his strong strength and stable base, the opponent's cavalry's spear and sword had already cut off the horse's head with a single stroke of his Mo Dao before they could even touch him!
