With the beating of drums, the fourth round of Zhengyang Wubi drills officially began.
It was not Liu Xin who was the forward who struck first.
But Zheng Xiao and Shan Si on the right.
Because the waterway on the right side of Majiawan is the longest, there are as many as six strongholds along the way.
But there are only four on the left.
There are only eight in the middle, and there are forwards in the middle who are responsible for exploring the path.
It is equivalent to two armies exploring together.
Therefore the pressure is greatest on the right side.
As the first stronghold on the right, Stronghold No. 3 is located towards the rear.
The No. 2 stronghold on the middle road and the No. 1 stronghold on the left road are relatively close to each other.
In addition to being further back than these two strongholds, Stronghold No. 3 also has the advantage of being close to the land.
The base camp can provide quick support at any time.
Once you enter the swamp and take the waterway, your forward speed will be twice as slow as on the ground.
Unless you own a ship.
Therefore, if Stronghold No. 3 can be captured, Stronghold No. 3 can become the attacker's first advance base in the water.
For the offensive side, Weng Bingliang and Zhu Ying were selected. There was a look of certainty in his eyes.
If so, they would choose this way.
The defender still doesn't know what's going on here.
But Guande is fully prepared.
Just waiting to give the attacker a big surprise.
Zheng Xiao's right-wing army at the base camp took the lead and sent Shan Si and four generals on the first day to explore the way to the third stronghold with 3,000 troops.
Dan 41 went to Stronghold No. 3, but a trap was triggered as soon as he arrived there.
But because single four is more careful when moving forward.
And I followed the advice of people around me.
Therefore, the loss of troops was only 500.
But even so, Shan Si's expression became very ugly.
He didn't expect that the other party would lay an ambush as soon as they came up.
Fortunately, he advanced cautiously, otherwise he would have lost at least a thousand troops.
And because Zheng Xiao and Shan Si were not far apart, the news was quickly passed on to Zheng Xiao.
Zheng Xiao directly ordered Dan Si to postpone the exploration of stronghold No. 3.
Changed to stay put.
At this time, an army suddenly appeared at stronghold No. 4 behind stronghold No. 1, 23, and rushed directly to stronghold No. 3.
It turned out that the defenders had placed a large number of traps in the three frontmost strongholds.
Sentries were also arranged.
Once an attacking army is discovered, stronghold No. 4 will dispatch troops.
I saw that the No. 4 stronghold was led by Xu Cheng and directly dispatched 20,000 people.
When this battle report was delivered to Weng Bingliang and Zhu Ying,
Weng Binliang fell into silence, with no discernable expression on his face.
Zhu Ying, on the other hand, had a smile on her face.
"This is called surprise."
Fortunately, Weng Bingliang was not in front of Zhu Ying, otherwise he would have spitted on Zhu Ying's face.
If the war really happened like this, it would be simple.
As the drums sounded on the second day, the forward team led by Liu Xin, the attacker, also began to move out.
Liu Xin's goal directly bypassed the No. 2 stronghold. Leave No. 2 stronghold to the Chinese army.
They went directly to Stronghold No. 4.
At this time, Xu Cheng's 20,000 people had arrived outside Stronghold No. 3.
According to Guande's score, what Xu Cheng has to do at this moment is to eat up the forward force of the single four.
When Shan Si saw Xu Cheng appearing at the corner of the water pool, he was suddenly shocked.
Fortunately, the people around him reminded him.
"Brother Shan, we are just practicing now.
If it were really an actual battle, a large number of scouts would definitely be dispatched in such a complex terrain.
But the condition given to us now is that there will be no scouts.
So don't pay too much attention to it.
A drill is still a drill after all. "
"But after all, five hundred people were lost in my hands. If it were really on the battlefield, I would never accept such a result.
Just because of one of my choices, five hundred people died! "
The remaining people also gave advice.
At this time, Xu Cheng had already arrived in front of Shan Si.
"Twenty thousand people versus 2,500 people, you are dead, and we won't even suffer much loss!"
Xu Cheng remained silent while a person behind him jumped out.
He is also a contestant of the civil servant faction and comes from a worldly background.
His current judgment on Guande is simply like a god.
If this pattern continues, eventually all sixteen places in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition may fall into their hands.
By then, he also has a hope of being able to stand on the final competition stage.
As long as he can reach the final round, the training resources provided by Wenchen Group alone will be enough for him to further his martial arts cultivation.
Moreover, Wenchen Group has already made a promise that as long as they can win the Zhengyang Martial Competition, all of them will get a very good opportunity.
This was his attempt to transcend class.
He himself felt that he had endured many hardships and finally came to this round.
Only one step away from the end.
But now that he saw the hope of victory, he suddenly became a little arrogant.
"Why don't you surrender quickly! If you surrender, maybe you can keep your troops.
In the end, maybe you can advance to the next round by surviving the longest! "
Dan Si looked at the arrogant and arrogant smile on the other person's face, and anger suddenly surged in his heart.
He stepped hard, and his body exploded out.
The person opposite was only a dozen feet away from him.
At the speed of just four, two breaths would have covered these distances.
The other party is also a Dacheng realm warrior, and is already a leader among the casual cultivators in the world.
He is also a arrogant figure in the world.
He had been suppressed by various geniuses before, but now his true nature was finally exposed.
Faced with Shansi's sudden attack, he was not afraid at all.
"Well done!"
This man drew his sword and slashed at Shan Si.
Although this round is called a drill.
But the personal strength of military commanders is still a very important component.
Therefore, there is a rule that the loser of the battle between the two sides' military forces will lose all their troops.
Shan Si did not take out his weapon.
Faced with such a little guy in front of him, Dan Si didn't even bother to do this.
As their bodies intertwined, Shan Si turned sideways and narrowly avoided the blow. Dan Si suddenly burst out with terrifying speed.
It seemed that only then did the other party remember that Dan Si was the son of the chief escort of Yuanwei Escort Agency.
How dare he provoke the other party?
Could it be that the impending victory confused his eyes.
In an instant, Shan Si punched the opponent directly in the waist and abdomen.
The man was in so much pain that he could hardly hold the knife in his hand.
A mouthful of yellow water spit out from his mouth.
Even the bile was knocked out!
Shan Si was unyielding and came behind the man, inserted his hands into the man's armpits, yanked his body and threw him out.
The man was still temporarily confused by the severe pain in his waist and abdomen.
In the blink of an eye, I felt myself spinning and flying into the sky.
The next moment Shansi's leg hit the man's back directly.
The force of this blow was also extremely heavy, but it was not fatal.
This is just a drill, as long as you show enough ability to make the opponent lose combat effectiveness.
Not far away, a general under Weng Bingliang was looking at this side coldly.
Of course, Weng Bingliang and Zhu Ying cannot look at all places at any time.
Therefore, both of them have many subordinates who follow each team and report the battle situation they see anytime and anywhere.
After Shan Si beat the man violently, the general who stared at him raised his right hand.
This means that the single four has eliminated that person.
The moment Shan Si relaxed his mind, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air behind him!
"Brother Shan, be careful!"
"Be careful of sneak attacks!"
As soon as the roar of his companion reached Shan Si, he felt that the clothes on his back were cut, and a piercing pain came from his back.
At the critical moment, he rushed forward and avoided the blow that was destined to cause serious damage.
Although there was blood behind him, this time he only suffered superficial injuries.
Shan Si rolled forward and rolled to the ground, not caring about his image at all, but even such an action would definitely defeat the two consecutive slashes from behind.
Xu Cheng suddenly took action.
Of course, this is also within the scope of the rules.
Therefore, the general just looked at this scene coldly without any expression.
Not to mention being injured here, even if he died in battle here, this general would not make any move.
Dan Si stood up and looked at Xu Cheng behind him calmly.
"Do you want to die?"
Xu Cheng's knife without hesitation directly injured him, and Shan Si had already clearly felt the murderous intention of the other party.
That was really trying to kill him.
There was no fluctuation in Xu Cheng's eyes, and there was a trace of madness hidden deep in his eyes.
"As long as the mission is completed, mother can escape from that place!"
Without saying a word, Xu Cheng pulled out another knife from the scabbard on his waist. With both knives in hand, he rushed towards Shan Si.
"Huh? You don't even bother to say it!"
There was anger in Shan Si's eyes.
This is a drill, not real life or death. Do you need this to fight?
But the war supervising general next to him didn't say anything. Shan Si knew that he could only solve this kind of thing by himself.
So he also took out his own weapon.
A short spear.
Shansi is better at melee combat, and speed is his specialty.
His body rushed forward, and he counterattacked without waiting for the opponent to rush in front of him.
On one side of the two people is a swift cheetah, and on the other side is a crazy hyena.
The two of them collided fiercely. Xu Cheng was completely desperate. Facing the spear from Shan Si, he did not even dodge or avoid it.
The backhand was to slash Shan Si's head with two swords, and the other sword was to slash Shan Si's arm.
Shan Si Dajin was eclipsed. He had never encountered such an opponent before and could only forcefully withdraw the short spear.
But it was too late at this time. He could only try his best to block one knife, and at the same time dodge to one side, trying to avoid another knife.
However, Xu Cheng's sword light was extremely fast and fierce. Although Shan Si tried his best to dodge, he was still hit by the sword, and a blood mark suddenly appeared on his shoulder.
Fortunately, it was another skin injury.
However, Shan Si was injured repeatedly after just one encounter, and Dan Si was shocked and angry.
Moreover, Xu Cheng's sword light was still slashing towards Shan Si continuously.
And that posture was completely indicative of dying together.
The war supervisor who was watching the battle couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
You won't find such crazy people even on the battlefield.
But such a person can say that if placed in the right position, it will be a good seedling.
It's just that it's a drill now. Facing his companions, although he is an opponent in a competition, being so fierce is a bit too much.
Therefore, Xu Cheng's psychology has been greatly negative.
When the grading is done afterwards, he will definitely report the matter truthfully.
At this time, Shansi finally kept up with Xu Cheng's crazy offensive pace.
In fact, Shan Si's cultivation level is similar to that of Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng is even slightly inferior to Dan Siyi.
But Xu Cheng's offensive method is too crazy.
His desperate style of play has a natural advantage in such a competition.
It is said that the weak are afraid of the strong, the strong are afraid of the arrogant, the arrogant are afraid of the lifeless, and the lifeless are afraid of the crazy.
In such a food chain, Xu Cheng is the kind of person who stands at the top.
At best, Shan Si is the one who is risking his life.
Moreover, their offensive methods are actually of the same type.
They are all explosive warriors who are good at close combat and speed.
It's just that Xu Cheng has two knives, which suppress Shan Si in terms of speed.
Shansi could only be forced to defend at this time, but injuries continued to appear on his body.
Xu Cheng really chopped Shan Si to death.
Dan Si finally got the real fire out of him, and the martial artist's bloody spirit was suddenly aroused.
Then the fight turned into an attack.
The two sides fought only dozens of moves, but the ground was already stained with a layer of bright red.
The faint smell of blood filled the venue.
Xu Cheng and Shan Si's respective companions spontaneously had a cold war.
Is this really a Zhengyang martial arts competition?
Aren't they on a real battlefield?
Soon the winner was determined in the duel between the two.
The war supervisor and general directly broke into the battle between the two.
His cultivation is at the low-level Dacheng realm, and in terms of combat power, he is on par with Shan Si and Xu Cheng.
But with the armor on his body and his rich combat experience.
He directly broke into the battle between the two and separated them forcefully.
But Xu Cheng and Shan Si both still wanted to fight, and both of them were already red-eyed.
It seems that they are fighting each other to the death.
But one of the responsibilities of the supervising generals is to ensure that no one actually dies in this competition.
"Fight in front of the formation, defend to prevent victory!"
He directly gave the result, and when he heard the result, the madness in Xu Cheng's eyes suddenly dissipated.
But Shan Si's eyes were still red.
The other party really wanted to kill him.
He could feel it clearly.
Faced with such a person, Dansi would of course also have murderous intentions towards him.
Moreover, the opponent was unreasonable and hurt him in the subsequent battle. His initial injuries directly affected his combat effectiveness.
As a result, he had no less than ten stab wounds on his body at this moment.
He was covered in blood, as if he had just risen from the dead.
His face was red, not pale at all from the excessive blood loss.
This is because all the energy and blood in his body are used on his head.
This is anger to the extreme.
But the next moment, due to excessive blood loss, a virtual feeling came from deep inside his body.
He staggered, but finally stood firm.
"I still want to keep fighting!"
The bravery of Jianghu people and the pride of warriors made him want to continue fighting.
But the war supervisor and general shook his head.
"You have been eliminated, the result is serious injury!"
Then a military doctor came directly to Shan Si.
Although he was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to give up as the war supervisor and general stood in front of him.
In the end, he was carried away directly on a stretcher by military doctors.
He really lost too much blood and had to go back as soon as possible to stop the bleeding.
Although they also brought some hemostatic drugs and gauze at the scene.
But Shan Si had more than a dozen stab wounds on his body.
The medicine the military doctors brought was simply not enough.
Because of the failure of the fourth single, the morale of the right-wing forward on the offensive side was greatly reduced.
Xu Cheng followed Guan De's instructions and directly tried to devour the 2,500-man striker.
The general who took over Shan Si's command directly ordered a retreat.
Finally, after paying the price of a thousand troops, he successfully escaped Xu Cheng's pursuit.
Xu Cheng's previous battles were so crazy that even his teammates did not dare to make any suggestions to him.
Therefore, the two people familiar with the art of war who were originally arranged by Guan De to surround Xu Cheng did not say a word at this time, thus directly losing the best opportunity and method of pursuit.
Otherwise, it is not impossible to eat all these two thousand and five hundred people.
When the news came back to the base camp, everyone was shocked.
In Qin Guogong's camp, apart from Huangfu Rongjiang, Shansi was the ceiling of their combat power.
The combat power of Dan Si is definitely at the top level in the low-grade Dacheng Realm.
As a result, he was seriously injured just after the drill started.
Was ruled out.
This change directly dealt a blow to the attacker's original confidence.
At this time, the Zuo Army and the Chinese Army had not yet set off, and the leader of the Zuo Army, Wei Zongquan, looked strange.
"What the hell happened!"
Huangfu Rongjiang slammed the table angrily. Unfortunately, he was currently in the middle of a drill, and although Shan Si's situation was close at hand, he still couldn't know it.
These are the rules of the drill.
"Hu Gengchen, let me go to fight quickly!"
Hu Gengchen ignored Huangfu Rongjiang.
Huangfu Rongjiang seemed to calm down, and after a moment he said again:
"I'm sorry, I was reckless."
As a commander or general, one thing you must remember on the battlefield is not to have violent mood swings because of trivial matters.
Never be emotional.
This is a real taboo on the battlefield.
It is their family elders, and their fathers have repeatedly told them.
In countless battles, countless people have suffered devastating blows because of such taboos.
It is different from Huangfu Rongjiang’s sober understanding.
Hu Gengchen saw the changes in the faces of the people below. Their faces no longer had the same confidence as before.
But he knew that nothing he said would be of any use at this time.
Such a drop in morale can only be made up for by a victory.
It can't be solved by just saying a few inspiring words.
So he ordered one after another, and the Chinese army and the left army attacked at the same time.
At this time, the sound of drums could be heard in the distance, which meant that the drill had reached its third day.
Everyone left the table one after another and prepared to go out.
At the same time, people like Hu Gengchen, Huangfu Rongjiang and others felt some emotion in their hearts at this time.
The battlefield is definitely not as simple as they thought before.
No wonder their parents always say that they are a group of people who have never seen the world.
