368 Mysterious Opponents

"Among the three of you, Yang Yi and Sun Cang are both stronger in attack than in defense, and Xiao Zhai is stronger in defense than in defense." The head of the Xiao regiment commented on us on the training ground of the Black Tiger Regiment, "Therefore, you should take Xiao Zhai as the center in the team competition, and Yang Yi and Sun Cang should be separated. The main defense in the middle, the two wings attack! ”

He also deliberately walked over and put his hand on my shoulder, emphasizing to Yang Yi and Sun Cang: "The team competition is about team combat, which is different from the heads-up competition of singles, there must be tactical cooperation and psychological tacit understanding between each other, and even discipline and listen to the command!" So I decided to appoint Xiao Zhai as the captain on the field! ”

Hearing this, Sun Cang didn't say anything, but Yang Yi looked a little uncomfortable. But he just flattened his mouth, and didn't dare to speak out against Xiao Tuanzhu's decision.

But who is the owner of the Xiao group? He must have also seen the change in Yang Yi's expression, so he asked him with a smile: "Yang Yi, do you also want to be the captain of this team?" ”

"Me? No, no! Yang Yi denied it, but her tone was not resolute.

"Do you think you're more experienced in the game, and wonder why I didn't appoint you, but instead of him?" Xiao Tuan Master refused to let Yang Yi go and continued to ask.

Yang Yi had no choice but to reply helplessly: "The group leader must have your consideration when making such a decision, and the students are willing to listen to it!" ”

Xiao Tuan Master nodded with satisfaction, and then explained in detail: "In terms of competition experience, you are indeed the most. But in terms of combat experience, Xiao Zhai is no worse than you. In addition, he was a man who had served in caravans and expeditions for many years, and he must have a deep understanding of small team operations. Coupled with the fact that he is a few years older than you and has a calm personality, I think he is more than capable of the role of captain! ”

Listening to Xiao Tuan's comments, I couldn't help but blush a little. I was only a newcomer to caravans and expeditions, and I was usually led by other veterans, and I didn't dare to say that I had any leadership skills.

So I hurriedly excused myself: "Leader, you praised it falsely!" I'm not as good as you say......"

But Xiao Tuan Master still insisted on his decision. He said to me: "Maybe you don't realize it yourself, but I have confidence in you that you can make the right decisions in the toughest situations on the field!" There is no need to discuss this anymore! ”

It's been more than three months since I joined the Black Tigers, and I've played twice before, both heads-up matches. Luckily, the first two times I faced weren't particularly good opponents, and I managed to win them without any problems, and I got a lot of prize money.

Yang Yi said that he was the pillar of the regiment, and the leader of the Xiao regiment would sign him up for the competition on almost every competition day in the gladiatorial arena. He also has a high win rate, winning eight out of 10 games. As a young gladiator who is only twenty-one years old, he has a bright future!

Sun Cang is a little worse. His martial arts skills are not weak, he has the tenacity to endure hardships, and his physical fitness is good, but he always seems to be a little unresponsive on the court. He had only made one appearance before, and was unable to decide the winner for the full time of the match with his opponent when he was clearly at a disadvantage, and was ultimately ruled out by the referee.

With ten days to go until the next match day, Xiao made an unexpected decision to let the three of us sign up for a three-on-three team competition. Today is the first day of training for the three of us.

Team matches are more spectacular and brutal than heads-up matches, and spectators are more likely to watch them, which naturally attracts more bets. However, because the gladiators of the Black Tiger Regiment are mainly cultivated from childhood, there are not many players who can compete at present, so the leader of the Xiao Regiment thought of combining the three of us to sign up for the team competition.

When fighting in a team of three, the formation is relatively simpler. There are generally several types of stations: parallel positions, triangular positions, and horn positions.

The parallel position is easy to understand, that is, three people are lined up, separated from the left, center and right, which is suitable for teams with relatively average individual abilities. Some teams that have not had time to train together in a hurry are also mostly parallel stations, but the winning rate is really not high.

The triangular position is that the middle person is in front, and the two sides are slightly behind. The one in front is mostly guarded by meat shields, and the two sides are mainly attacking, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack.

The horn position is the reverse triangle position, which is named because it resembles a bull's horn. This formation rushes forward on both sides, either for defense or for harassment, but the most powerful attacker will definitely be placed in the middle and back position, full-time attack, and the emphasis is on not shooting, and a shot will be won!

Based on the characteristics of the three of us, Xiao Tuanzhu mainly asked us to practice in two formations, triangle position and parallel position, and the horn position was abandoned because it was not applicable. In fact, whether it is a triangular position or a parallel position, it is centered on my position, and I can switch it at will, the difference is only whether the overall tactics are biased towards attack or defense.

When we are on the defensive, we use a triangular position, I act as a meat shield in the middle, and then flank the two wings. But I still don't know if I can be a good meat shield.

When we are in an offensive position, we use a parallel position, and I attract the opponent's attention in the middle, mainly relying on the wings to surround the opponent. In this formation, I feel a lot less pressure.

In addition to joint practice, Xiao Tuan Leader also deliberately left me to open a small stove after the training. He held a tactics board and explained to me in detail the contingency strategies in various situations, such as when to focus on the opponent's side, and what to do when there is a situation where you can play more or less.

Xiao Tuan Master is a master in the martial arts world, and it has benefited me a lot to have such attention from him and his individual guidance. It also boosted my confidence to win the race.

In the blink of an eye, it was a new competition day, and I, Yang Yi and Sun Cang all packed up and went to the gladiatorial arena to participate in the competition in high spirits. This is my third game, and I'm starting to learn how to deal with pre-match tension. But just before going on the field, Xiao Tuan Leader brought a piece of news that didn't look good.

"We're out of luck and we might have drawn a tough opponent!" With a frown, he summoned the three of us gladiators who were about to come over for a preparatory meeting. Before each match, he tries to do some research on our opponents and then give us a specific tactic based on that.

"Which ghost fighter is it?" Yang Yi asked. He had been participating in this kind of gladiatorial tournament for several years, and he knew quite well about the situation on the side of the ghost fighters.

"Armed doors, one of which is a two-faced spider."

"It's it!" Yang Yi listened to it but seemed a little unimpressed, "I've watched its game, and its strength is just as strong, there's nothing to be afraid of!" ”

"Why is it called a two-faced spider?" I wondered.

Generally, the more weird the name of the ghost fighter, the more bizarre its fighting style is, does this "two-faced spider" also have any tricks related to spiders? Will it also spray spider silk?

"Because it has two faces on its head, one in front and one in the back." Yang Yi described to me, "And it has four hands, plus two legs, and it stands on the field like an upright spider." In fact, it just looks a little perverse, and its record can only be regarded as middle and upper-class. ”

"Five wins out of seven battles, to be exact." Xiao Tuan Master added.

Seven battles and five wins are a little more than 70 percent in percentage terms, which is a little lower than Yang Yi's 80 percent win rate, and it is indeed not a too strong opponent. Of course, a newcomer like me who wins two games and two wins will not be counted as a 100% win rate, and at least five or more games will be convincing.

But Xiao Tuanzhuo's expression was still obviously very cautious, and I am afraid that there is something else hidden.

He said, "I got the exact news that the two-faced spider has been staying in the ghost refining room before this, and it has just come out in the past two days. The Armed Gate is said to have invested a lot of money in it this time, using a lot of alchemy to transform its virtual body. So, what has become of the two-faced spider now, even the eyes and ears I planted there have not been able to find out the specific details. ”

"Alchemy ......" I have always been very sensitive to this kind of evil art that only ghost keepers can perform, and I am also very jealous. I'm afraid that's not a good sign!

"Who are the other two partners of the two-faced spider?" Yang Yi immediately asked Xiao Tuan.

But the Xiao Tuan Master shook his head very rarely, and said in distress: "What's more troublesome is here, and my people can't find out about the other two ghost fighters at all. I only know that they are also newly refined ghost fighters, and their names are Swallow Li Da and Swallow Li Er! ”

"Hey! Why don't you call it Yanzi Li San? Sun Cang, who had been silent, actually laughed at this time.

"What's the joke at this time? Be serious! Xiao Tuan Master reprimanded him very dissatisfied, which made Sun Cang quite embarrassed.

"Listening to the name, they should be brothers, huh?" I guessed, "Or at least the fighting style will be closer." ”

"Well, Xiao Zhai's analysis is the same as I thought." When Xiao Tuan Master said this, he couldn't help but sigh, and said to the three of us: "If you don't know your opponent, you can only act on the spot, and rely on on-the-spot play to deal with it, you can only fight a passive encounter this time!" ”

"Xiao Zhai!" He specially told me, "You have to pay attention to improvisation, and all tactics on the field are up to you!" ”

"Yes!" I immediately agreed.

Actually, I didn't feel too much confusion in my heart. Master Xiao estimated that he had thought too much, since it was a contest between the same grades, it was impossible for the dealers in the gladiatorial arena to make the difference in strength between the two sides too great. In that case, the suspense of victory and defeat will be lost, and how can you make money by opening betting?

And in my opinion, the multi-armed door multi-armed door, the opponent is nothing more than one more arm, which becomes five hands, right?

No matter how big it is, there are two more, and six will work?
