13. Duel, thousands of miles to ride alone
Unknowingly, the virtual world of "Big Adventure" has been carried out for two and a half months.
The players have gradually integrated from the chaotic and disorderly state at the beginning, and each world has formed large and small groups, and in many worlds where the "court" is relatively weak, the big war between players has broken out more than once.
Cheng Peng looked at the training report in his hand, sighed, and frowned.
With the influx of new players, Warriors of the Three Kingdoms' system has recently been upgraded once, increasing the importance of the status of "morale", in order to ensure morale on the battlefield, players and NPC soldiers must first pass training and assessment to obtain the status of "elite soldiers".
At the very least, they must be able to know what the various flags and golden drums mean on the battlefield.
BE ABLE TO BE FAMILIAR WITH THESE, AND PASS THE SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT, IN ORDER TO GET THE IDENTITY OF "ELITE SOLDIER", ENJOY THE STANDARD MORALE AND COMBAT EFFECTIVENESS ASSESSMENT IN THE BATTLE, OTHERWISE AS SOON AS YOU ENTER THE BATTLEFIELD, YOU WILL BE COVERED WITH A "DAZED" DEBUFF, AND THE ATTRIBUTES WILL BE GREATLY REDUCED - IT IS SIMPLY THE SAME LEVEL AS THE MILITIA OF THE YELLOW TURBANS.
So, Cheng Peng's trouble came.
"Our side...... After all, there is not enough manpower! β
Among the eight armies in the West Garden, the number of veteran players under the right colonel Chun Yuqiong's account is the smallest - there are only five in total. Although Chun Yuqiong has three armies in the front, middle and rear, they only lead the front army, but it is not easy for only five people to train all the 1,000 NPC soldiers under his command! Even Wen De, who was not familiar with the military regulations, failed to be promoted to the star, and relied on being a deputy general under Xiao Xiao to get mixed into the waste firewood of the general's identity was also driven to the shelves to be an instructor, and the speed of training was still far from enough!
It's not that there are no new players joining on their side, on the contrary, because of him, the "No. 1 master in the world" as a signboard, there are a lot of new players under Chun Yuqiong's command, but those new players have not yet obtained the status of generals, and can only be regarded as soldiers.
Although as players, they passed the assessment of the system without much effort and became elites, but soldiers have no right to train soldiers, so in the face of busy old players, they can only spread their hands, and they can't help.
Fortunately, there was no fighting during this time, otherwise I really don't know how bad this rabble would have behaved on the battlefield......
Cheng Peng had the intention of becoming an instructor himself, but Xu Tu stopped him.
"To be successful, you need to build on your strengths and avoid your weaknesses." Xu Tuzhen, who seems to be a military advisor, said eloquently, "Lack of manpower is our shortcoming, and you are not of much use; But you, the 'number one master in the world', are our only advantage, so what you have to do now is to continue to fight, improve your strength and reputation, and it is best to break through to the second star as soon as possible." Just leave these trivial chores to us. β
Therefore, Cheng Peng, who is the former army commander and commander of a thousand soldiers and horses, only needs to write a report to Chun Yuqiong every day and then draw up a training plan.
Writing reports or something, Cheng Peng is actually very good at it.
When he was in college, he was very good at writing essays, reports, and the like, and he won the Outstanding Paper Award more than once!
[I really never dreamed that I would change my career to become a military general, or what kind of "number one master in the world"...... My original dream was to be a historian! γ
Yes, Cheng Peng was originally born in the history department of a prestigious university, and his future life was originally spent between ancient books and relics, and finally left some traces in history as a famous archaeologist and the like. But with the goddamn technology of unknown origin, historians suddenly find themselves seemingly on the verge of losing their jobs.
Because, the technology of going back in time - that is, from modern times to ancient times - has actually made a substantial breakthrough.
Faced with this situation, Cheng Peng could only smile bitterly, and then find something to do again.
So, he chose to become a professional gamer, trying to make a career in this virtual world, which is said to be the main place of communication for mankind in the future.
In fact, he likes his life very much.
Fighting, adventuring, as long as it is a man, there is no one who does not yearn for such a life!
It's just that sitting at his desk and burying his head in writing reports like he did when he was a student also makes him quite interesting.
[It is said that only the old man will be nostalgic, could it be that my mentality is already old? γ
The world's number one master who "has an old mentality" put down his pen and paper, and the report that was finally completed turned into a roll of bamboo slips in an instant.
He summoned his own soldiers, ordered the low-intelligence NPC to hand the report to the marching master, and turned to pick up the map.
On the map, the place of Hengshan Mountain in Hebei Province, called Changshan Mountain in the late Han Dynasty, is marked with a red circle.
To reverse the current absolute advantage of the Han army over the Yellow Turban, and assassinate the Han army commanders Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun without affecting the Han army players, the key is here.
But...... The preparations here can only be handed over to Gou Debai them.
And Cheng Peng has to do two things:
First, work hard to level up and try to improve your combat effectiveness.
Second, first build a temporary altar of war spirits.
The first one is not difficult to execute at all, and most players do it and don't care if they have one more.
The second was originally an impossible task, but with the help of the Yellow Turban player, it became very easy - the materials needed to build the altar were not available on the Han army's side, but there were many on the Yellow Turban side; The place where the altar was built was not on the Han army's side, but there were many on the Yellow Turban side. All Cheng Peng had to do was to brush up on the battlefield dungeon every day to level up, and then run over to worship.
Time passed day by day, and when Gou Debai sent a message saying "everything is ready, only the east wind is owed", Cheng Peng had already relied on brushing the battlefield copy to change himself into a good outfit.
Although his red armor, which is rewarded for his bravery, is very stylish, but the skill attached to it is the "majesty" used on the battlefield - in a battle, for every hundred enemies defeated, the attack power increases by 50%, and the maximum increase is 200%.
What he needs in the next battle is one-on-one ability.
Therefore, he replaced the red armor that had become a personal signature with a warrior suit that increased more offensive and defensive attributes, and after going to the altar to pray for the last time, he rode a thousand miles on a horse and galloped thousands of miles to Changshan.
This is the headquarters of the "Black Mountain Army", an important branch of the Yellow Turbans, and the army led by Lu Zhi, one of the commanders of the Han army and a great Confucian in the late Han Dynasty, has been moving slowly because of the fear that it may be attacked by the Black Mountain Army and the Zhang Jiao Army - according to history, soon Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty will send someone to check the battle situation on his side, and he will be framed and imprisoned for not paying bribes, and his successor is Dong Zhuo, the hero who dealt a fatal blow to the Han family.
What Cheng Peng wants to do has nothing to do with Lu Zhi, but something to do with the Montenegrin Army.
He stood outside the Black Mountain Army cottage, called up the "shout" function of the system, and shouted:
"Where are the horns of Montenegro? Cheng Peng of the West Garden, come to the appointment! β
He had come to fight a duel with Zhang Niujiao, one of the leaders of the Montenegrin army.
I don't know how the system set up the interpersonal relationships within the Yellow Turbans, in short, after Cheng Peng killed Ma Yuanyi, he not only found that his friendship with the Yellow Turban Army had turned into hatred - this is a matter of course - but also inexplicably had a mortal enemy.
The leader of the Yellow Turban Black Mountain Army, Zhang Niujiao.
After the inquiry of the yellow turban players, I learned that this horn is actually a brother with Ma Yuanyi, and the relationship is not ordinarily good.
"There's no mention of this in the history books! This must be a limitation made by the system for me! β
When Cheng Peng received an invitation to a duel from Zhang Niujiao, he scolded angrily.
"Do you want me to go to Changshan and duel him? Did he treat me as an idiot? Why didn't he come to Luoyang to duel me by himself? β
That's what he said, and that's what he replied.
"What if Zhang Niujiao really comes?" Xiao Xiao asked worriedly, "I don't think you can beat him." β
"If he dares to come to Luoyang, do you think there is still a chance to come to me?" Cheng Peng sneered disdainfully, "How many fierce generals are here, there are several three-star ones alone, and one of his most two-star generals came over to send him to death?" Without the help of the famous generals of the Han Dynasty, just nine hundred old players rushed up, and they could divide him into corpses - now we are not besieging Ma Yuanyi! β
At that time, he never dreamed that he would really ride alone to the meeting and go to Changshan to duel with Zhang Niujiao.
With his shout, a flashing system message was sent to all players in the world of "Warriors of the Three Kingdoms".
[Cheng Peng, the general of Yamen under the command of the right captain of the West Garden of the Great Han Dynasty, went to the meeting with a single gun, and at the invitation of Zhang Niujiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Black Mountain Army, he duel with him in Changshan. γ
"Holy! This guy is too powerful! "It's pure emotion.
"A person ran to the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army to duel with the main general? Is Cheng Peng tough or brainless? "This is a man with a better mind.
"If he really wins this duel, I'm afraid he will even be even more powerful, but he is already the number one player master!" It's a little bit of a blushing.
"I'll strangle it, everyone has two hands and two feet, why is he so good at fighting! God is not fair! "This is envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"It's so handsome! The night of the full moon, the top of the Forbidden City, a sword coming from the west, and flying immortals outside the sky...... Yes! Ximen blows snow greatly! Yes! Ye Gucheng is big! "Oh...... It's nymphomaniac.
In short, with the release of this news, the entire world of "Warriors of the Three Kingdoms" was boiling, and countless players left what they were doing and hurried towards Changshan, wanting to witness this unprecedented duel with their own eyes, and even players in other worlds were alarmed, and paid close attention to the dynamics here through the forum.
But all this has nothing to do with Cheng Peng at this moment.
All his attention was on the yellow turban general who wore a horned helmet and held a big gun, and walked out of the cottage step by step.
Most of the Yellow Turbans could not ride horses because of their poor backgrounds - they didn't even have a "cavalry" formation.
β¦β¦ It just so happened that Cheng Peng didn't plan to fight on horseback, he had just practiced archery not long ago, and his equestrian skills still needed to be trained.
"I didn't think you would dare to come!" Zhang Niujiao said sullenly, "I haven't replied for so long, and the old man thought you didn't dare to comeβit turned out that he underestimated you." β
"Actually, I didn't want to come." Cheng Peng was unmoved, his face was calm, "Frankly, I don't believe in your character. β
"Crisp enough! Then why are you suddenly here again? β
"The reasons are complex, and it's hard to put into words." Cheng Peng didn't keep it a secret in particular, anyway, there was nothing to keep secret from a dead person, "If you want to make a long story short, then all in all, I'm here to kill you." β
This answer was obviously not unexpected, and the general of the Yellow Turban Army wiped his beard and sneered and picked up his spear.
As the saying goes, "strike first is strong, and then strikes suffer", master confrontation, victory or defeat is often on the advantage of this first striker, Cheng Peng is not a rookie, nor is he a nerd who looks stupid to read martial arts novels such as "late strike", how can he give up his precious opportunity!
As soon as he saw Zhang Niujiao holding the gun, he didn't say a word, and the blood-soaked five-hook gun bounced up like a poisonous snake and went straight to Zhang Niujiao's chest.
With a click, two spears intersected in the air. But instead of bounce off, they stabbed at their respective targets with a slight mistake.
This is the case with the marksmanship of the military formation, moving forward, without bells and whistles, only the word "brave".
Cheng Peng's body tilted, allowing Zhang Niujiao's spear to graze his right shoulder, and the tip of his spear flew over the opponent's right shoulder, and the barb brought some blood.
Very minor injury, not worth mentioning.
Zhang Niujiao took a step back and stared at the bloody barb of the spear in Cheng Peng's hand.
"Five-hook gun?" He frowned, and then stretched out, "It's right to think about it, you are known as the first master of the Xiyuan New Army, and you have repeatedly cut generals and pulled out flags, and you can be called a strong general, these five-hook guns have always been awarded to warriors, if you want to award guns in the Xiyuan Army, you will naturally be the first to receive ......."
"But...... The old man has always wanted to see how capable the five-hook spear warrior known as the 'soul of the Han Army' is! β
Two spears, slammed into each other again.
