Zhao Haiping sighed silently, if he hadn't done his homework beforehand, he had speculated through real events in history that there would probably be a third stage, and his heart would have been extremely broken at this time.

It's like in many action games, you have died countless times and finally passed the boss to the limit, but before you have time to be happy, you cut into a cutscene, and a new boss comes out!

But it has come to this point, and it can only be held on.

Zhao Haiping had never entered the third stage before, so he didn't know how to play at this stage, so he could only guess.

However, after discussing with Chu Ge, he felt that the third stage should be different from the first and second stages.

The difficulty in the first stage is that you can mix, but you can't. Although the mix can pass the first stage, the status is too low when it enters the second stage, and then you will suffer.

Not to mention the second stage, you have to make full preparations in advance, persuade the general to dig a well and kill the horse, and you have to take the lead.

As for the three stages, there are not many records in history, but it is said that after a hard battle, reinforcements arrived, and in the end only seventy-four people were left to wait for reinforcements.

As for how they got there, they didn't mention anything.

Chu Ge guessed that the three stages were likely to correspond to three different tests.

As a soldier, cold weapon combat skills are important, and they are the key to clearing the level at each stage, but the focus of different stages is different.

The key to the first stage is the courage to stand up.

As a creep, the player can stay behind, so that they can also clear the level, but they will be sent later. Only by standing up and performing well can it be appreciated by the general and promote the initial status of the second stage.

The key to the second stage is accurate judgment and resourcefulness.

With an identity, in the second stage, you have to use your identity and status to exert influence on the general and adopt the right strategy against the enemy. If it still relies on brute force alone, then it will still be completely annihilated in the second wave of the attack of the Beidi barbarians.

Therefore, Chu Ge guessed that the key to the third stage was perseverance.

In the face of a truly desperate situation, he can always persevere, never back down, and fight until the end.

Zhao Haiping felt that Chu Ge's speculation was very reasonable.

If that's the case, then the third stage is simpler, as long as you are strong-willed, you should always be able to clear the level by playing a few more times.

Sure enough, this game didn't give much time to prepare, and when Zhao Haiping had just adapted to the surrounding environment, the Beidi barbarians had already launched an attack!

In the wind and snow, the war drums under the city rumbled, and the Beidi barbarians pounced towards the city again!

The snow under the city was very deep, and the march of the Beidi barbarians was also affected, but after all, they were all a group of young and strong, and they were not the same as these seventy-year-old veterans of Dachu at the head of the city.

There are not many words, because of such a scene, these veterans have experienced it countless times.

With General Geng Zhong's roar, all the veterans drew their weapons and shouted to meet them!

Zhao Haiping was still the same as before, approaching the general and fighting bravely to protect the safety of General Geng Zhong.

He found that although his physical fitness was not as good as before in his old age, his combat skills seemed to have improved even more. He can subconsciously use a lot of crisp and neat offensive skills, combined with the talent of licking blood from the knife edge, just like the god of war descending to earth, killing all sides!

Blood was splattered on the top of the city, and soon the snow was stained red.

It's just that the barbarian soldiers of Beidi still climb the city in an endless stream, just like the heavy snow in the sky will never stop.

Zhao Haiping had held out for a long time, but he watched the Great Chu soldiers around him fall one by one, and even swept it roughly, the number was less than seventy, and there was still no sign of reinforcements in the distance.

General Geng Zhong was covered in blood and sighed: "You ride the last military horse and try to break through!" I am determined to live and die with this city!

"You must go back to Da Chu and tell Your Majesty what happened here, so that the civil and military officials of Da Chu know that we, the old soldiers, have fought to the last moment!"

Zhao Haiping hurriedly shook his head: "General, reinforcements will come!" ”

General Geng Zhong's face was bitter: "It's been forty years!" We have sent countless messengers, but none of them have returned. Perhaps, the entire northwest has already been occupied by barbarians.

"Let's go!"

Of course, Zhao Haiping won't leave, because he knows that according to historical records, reinforcements are about to arrive, so why run out now?

So he shook his head anyway and told the general to hold on until the last moment.

General Geng Zhong did not insist, so he had to change a personal guard to break through, but he was caught up by the Beidi cavalry before he ran far to the city, and he died bravely.

The battle in the city continued, but there were fewer and fewer Great Chu soldiers on Zhao Haiping's side.

In the end, the Beidi barbarians swarmed up and hacked the only remaining generals Zhao Haiping and Geng Zhong to death in the wind and snow.

……

Back to the beginning of the third phase.

Zhao Haiping was a little skeptical of life.

Death is not terrible, he has died countless times in this copy, and he has long been used to it.

The key is...... I've been deceived!

"It's strange, what about the reinforcements that were promised?

"Seventy-four people survived in the end?

"I've been fighting for my life, but I didn't see any reinforcements until the end!

"This game shouldn't be so shameless, right? Directly canceled the setting of reinforcements in history? ”

Zhao Haiping fell into confusion again.

He had died countless times in the first and second stages before, and he had honed his strong combat effectiveness, so in the third stage, even if his physical fitness was further reduced, he persevered to the end.

But I persevered to the end, and I didn't clear the customs!

Zhao Haiping frowned and looked at the three cards of talent skills again.

When he swept over a familiar card, Zhao Haiping suddenly had a flash of inspiration and had a guess.

"Is it possible...... This messenger who broke through and asked for help...... Myself too?

"If I don't go out of the city, there won't be reinforcements??"

Zhao Haiping analyzed and found that according to the urine nature of this game, this possibility is actually very large.

No, it should be said that this should be the only possibility.

After all, in the second stage, if you can't think of this solution that you personally proposed to the general, then the entire second stage is estimated to be able to pass the customs for a lifetime.

It's the same now.

Reinforcements are not invited, they will not come on their own.

But the problem is, it's not that simple to ask for reinforcements!

The snow is so heavy outside, and there is an encirclement of Beidi barbarians.

The guard of General Geng Zhong tried to break through the siege before, but he was intercepted by the Beidi barbarians before he ran far.

If you want to fight your way out of the encirclement, you have to find the location of reinforcements in the snowstorm?

Are you sure this is something a seventy-year-old can do?

It's outrageous!

But Zhao Haiping thought about it, and it seemed that there was no other solution. He had already tried the result of holding on to the city, and it would definitely be a dead end without reinforcements coming.

"So, this 'Bow Horse Skilled' is really not a waste talent.

"Equestrianism only comes in handy at this time!

"But optimistically, this game is still a little merciful, at least it doesn't force me to use the same talent to clear the three stages, and I can change the talent skills at will before the different stages start."

Zhao Haiping found that he was indeed gradually cultivated into a Shake M physique by this game, and this benevolent setting could make him grateful to Dade.

If the game mandates that the three stages must be cleared with the same talent, then Zhao Haiping will probably have to be stuck for several more days.

In short, with a guess, the next step is to verify it.

Zhao Haiping chose the talent of "Skillful Bow Horse" and started the third stage of the trial illusion again.

There was still heavy snow on the city, and the Beidi barbarians were about to attack.

This time, Zhao Haiping didn't waste time, and without waiting for the general to come to him, he took the initiative to ask for help.

General Geng Zhong obviously had this intention, so this time Zhao Haiping didn't bother as much as the second stage, and soon sneaked out of the city through a gap in the city wall.

The cold wind swept the snowflakes and covered the sky.

Zhao Haiping's man and horse were shivering from the cold, and he couldn't even see the road clearly.

Before leaving the city, the general also pointed in a general direction, saying that the defenders of a city in the southeast may still be there, but after leaving the city, Zhao Haiping found out, how can this distinguish between the southeast and the northwest?

I had no choice but to leave by feeling.

The snow on the ground was several feet deep, making it difficult to walk even on horseback.

As a result, Zhao Haiping hadn't run far before he heard the rumbling sound of war drums from under the city, and the Beidi barbarians attacked the city again!

Not only that, but in the wind and snow ahead, there were also brute soldiers.

These Beidi cavalry obviously also noticed Zhao Haiping and immediately chased after him!

Zhao Haiping gritted his teeth and tried to turn around and draw his bow while riding a horse.

His legs clamped tightly around the horse's belly, trying to maintain his balance, but the arrow was missed, but it disappeared into the snowstorm, and he didn't know where it had gone.

"Damn!"

Zhao Haiping was speechless.

This is still the result of his talent of "skillful bow horses", what if he didn't take it? It is estimated that as soon as he left the reins of the horse with his hands, the man had already fallen.

But fortunately, riding a horse at this time, the effect of the talent of being proficient in the bow horse is also playing a role very quickly, and Zhao Haiping can feel that his riding skills are also improving rapidly.

After running for a while, the horse's archery skills began to become proficient, from shooting lonely at the beginning, to later being able to successfully capture the horse of one of the Beidi barbarians, it can be said that the progress is very fast.

After all, Zhao Haiping's archery skills were already very good before, and at this time, they just had to be combined with equestrianism.

But as more and more Beidi barbarians chased after him, he was finally intercepted and shot off his horse with a few arrows.

Back to the beginning of the third phase.

"Damn, come again!

"When I am successful in equestrianism, I have to raise you all one by one!"

Zhao Haiping chose to start again without hesitation.
