Simulated warfare, which is the favorite activity of any group of medieval enthusiasts, is not one of them: as the name suggests, it is a simulated medieval battle scene in which a certain number of medieval enthusiasts form two or more teams to carry out cold weapons.

This kind of activity is very similar to the live-action CS that players who like to play FPS (first-person shooter games) or other types of gunfight games are keen on, both of which are live-action activities that dress up as their favorite characters to conduct intense simulation battles, but there is a difference between them: the way of fighting in live-action CS is nothing more than easter eggs, Water bombs or laser sights to simulate bullets, and the relevant venues around the world are both easy to find and specialize in this, will prepare the corresponding clothing and equipment for you in advance that can be rented or purchased, and the quality requirements for the participants are above the average half-hanger level, and you can spend a little money at any time as long as you want to play on a whim.

But the simulated battle is different, its first requirement is that the equipment of the participants must be complete and complete: different from the real CS, this kind of simulated medieval battle activity is to play the collision of steel and steel, your protection is not safe, but you still force a fight The result is a blue nose and swollen face, and a concussion and other internal injuries or fractures- In addition to the formal activities and competitions in addition to the one-on-one duel to the large-scale 100-person vs. 100-person battle, the most conspicuous thing is that the stadium is full of joy, the audience cheers, and then the N ambulances and medical teams in the entrance area are on standby, ready to deal with the unlucky eggs that are very likely to appear in a timely manner and send them to the hospital as quickly as possible

The equipment should be comprehensive, and the question of funds for the purchase of equipment will follow, leaving this aside for the time being. The second requirement for playing simulated warfare is that the participants must be physically at least healthy, and have the corresponding targeted training and have a certain combat skills: just as the participants need to have a certain sense of teamwork and corresponding tactical skills in live CS, playing simulated warfare also has more stringent quality requirements, and understand what types of battles in the Middle Ages and how to fight, rather than fighting like street ruffians, even if this kind of guy will not be kicked out of the circle. It will also be beaten by other old birds with skill and combat awareness, therefore, the people who play this kind of simulation battle are basically high-quality players who have both spare money to buy equipment, idle time and patience to practice basic skills and team cooperation, and those who are purely whimsical basically can't practice for two days and will be tired and run away

Finally, there is the problem of venue: this is more trouble-free than live CS, because live CS needs a place similar to woodland, mountains or similar street battle scenes, so most of the locations can only be arranged in the suburbs; This kind of cold weapon enthusiast organization managed by each region and sub-area also has its own fixed place or a place that can be rented to conduct simulated warfare and training activities on a regular basis. Of course, it still can't be compared with those guys who are born with atmosphere bonuses abroad - in addition to all kinds of walking medieval fighting simulation battles in Europe and the United States, people are popular to play horse gun duels on heavy horses with horses and armor, as well as official competitions similar to the global scale, which is incomparable to China.

It is precisely because this kind of activity is not easy to hold that all the core members from the two-goods foursome to the core members are highly motivated: this kind of real-person to real-person activity is much more exciting and fun than ganging up to play LOL or Dota 2 online, and the iron-blooded club also has a conventional habit, that is, if there is a small conflict between club members that cannot be solved in a conventional way, then hold it honestly. Wait for the mock battle to solve the problem once and for all, and then never blame the past - this is why there are few cases of infighting or conflict among members of the Iron and Blood Society.

When Feng Longde and other DDO members were ready to equip themselves with weapons. Something unexpected happened: under Lilia's arrangement, the two sides of the mock battle were no longer fighting each other of the same kind in the past, but a total of 110 members of the Prussian archers, Livonian crossbowmen, and Teutonic knights were combined as one team, and a total of 90 Boghall pikemen and knight pikemen were the other team

"Lilia, what's going on?" Seeing that everyone was busy arranging their actions according to the group, Feng Longde walked up to Lilia and asked, "Didn't you fight against the same class in simulated battles before?

"Oh, yes. Lao He. Lilia pointed to the Boghall pikemen and knight pikemen, "You don't know that you've been around for a while, but we've organized a few mock battles these days, and we think the old ways of fighting are too boring, so we've got it like this based on Weiske's idea." And it feels good to fight. ”

Weisk happened to be on the side preparing to watch the play, and when he heard the answer of Master Xie, he interjected: "That's right-Lao He, do you remember the time when you talked about the game of Total War in Medieval 2 in the café?"

"I remember it very well. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders, he immediately thought of the time he disguised himself as a Black Rock shooter and went home with Weisk to pretend to be his girlfriend, but he didn't break it and asked directly, "What inspiration did that chat give you?"

"It's not inspiring, it's just that after that time with you, I was completely obsessed with this series of games, and since then I have been searching for various versions and mods to play. Weisk scratched his head, "As a result, when you just left, I found the Eagle of the Elbe, a domestic mod, and I couldn't get out, but that mod didn't have to say, the gameplay is strong, and the model has a lot of heads, and it can be regarded as being pulled into the big pit of the Middle Ages by you to some extent." ”

"Then how did you come up with the idea that the simulation battle is the current grouping mode?" Feng Longde felt that Weisk had not yet reached the key point, "Our simulation battle is about balance. I'm in a group with strong melee and all ranged range, and the other group is either a shield gun or an ultra-long gun, do you think that's balanced?"

At this time, Li Chard, who was taking pictures of the DDO members and Yakumo Zi with his mobile phone, suddenly said: "Lao He, look at the weapons in their hands opposite you. ”

Feng Longde looked over as he said, and immediately noticed that something was wrong with the members of the opposite group: the original weapons of the Boghall pikemen were the one-handed long swords they wore at their waists, in addition to the six-meter super long spear they held in their hands. However, this time they also carried an additional fan shield on their backs, and the weapons that changed the most were the knight pikemen, who also carried metal iris shields behind their backs, and their weapons were changed from a single two-meter spear to a two-meter and a half halberd, and they also wore one-handed swords at their waists.

Seeing Feng Longde's puzzled eyes, Richard explained: "This is the result of Lao Wei, he combined the phenomenon of the mixing of those super long spear phalanx arms and halberds in the Eagle of the Elbe River MOD and the change proposed after consulting the information about the Swiss mercenaries in the Middle Ages, this mixed team doesn't know how effective it is for the cavalry, anyway, the result of the first few simulated battles is that they win or have the advantage the most times - spears, The hybrid combination of a halberd and a super-long spear can form a wall of guns that is denser and more solid than a simple super-long spear, and it is very difficult for anyone who rushes over to break through it. ”

Feng Longde nodded when he heard this. After being reminded and explained by Richard, he understood that these guys had begun to play more advanced than the vast majority of medieval enthusiasts in China: studying and personally practicing the battle formations of various armies and arms of various countries during the Middle Ages can be regarded as something that only senior or hardcore medieval fanatics can do, which is definitely a good phenomenon for the iron-blooded community, indicating that they are no longer satisfied with posing and the most basic fighting with each other, but concentrate on studying this aspect of information and practice.

"This brand-new simulated battle happens to be your first time participating, but don't be too badly abused by the phalanx group?" Weisk patted Feng Longde on the shoulder, still happily put his hand down, "You won't just patronize and play around and leave your physical fitness and combat skills training behind during this time, right? Don't wait for the fight to start and find that you have forgotten all your basic skills." ”

"No, I still have the foundation. Feng Longde shrugged. Wearing the Demon Ring-Winged Barrel Helmet, he couldn't make out what his expression was, "At least I still know how to wield a shield and fight with a weapon." It doesn't degenerate into the kind of rookie level that holds a long sword like a kitchen knife. ”

After experiencing so many battles in Gensokyo and insisting on the combat skills training that must be done every day, if the level of combat skills has not improved but regressed, Feng Longde can really only jump into the Tokushima Sea

Before the simulation battle was about to start, the review members began to help evacuate the other people in the venue that the two sides needed to occupy when the battle was about to start, and the two goods and four people were all watching the play except for Feng Longde, who was one of them, Caroline also found a suitable position and silently looked at her brother who was cheering each other up with her companions in the venue, and Yakumo Zi was found by a group of attentive review members to find the best position for her to use. And she also looked at the people on both sides who were about to start the fight with interest—Feng Longde didn't notice that Yakumo Zi seemed to have been interested in him and the guys around him.

At this moment, Von Rond was holding his steel iris shield in his left hand and a one-handed longsword in his right hand that had been unbladed and dulled, while the other Teutonic knights in his group were also holding shields and blunt swords, while the Prussian archers and Livonian crossbowmen were holding their own bows and crossbows, or had small Italian-style metal round shields tied to their left wrists. Or with a metal tower shield on your back, ready for battle.

Another feature of simulated warfare is that the weapon has to be harmless, for example, the long sword cannot be cut and the barrel must be passivated at the same time, and the metal part of the spear and halberd is also processed, so that even if there is damage, it is a simple abrasion; Prussian archers and Livonian crossbowmen are a little more troublesome, but only need to remove the metal arrows and replace them with soft-plugged arrows, even if they hit people without any protection, they are not afraid of causing any damage.

On Feng Longde's side, the Prussian archers and Livonian crossbowmen stood in the front to form a corresponding formation, ready to project, while Feng Longde and other Teutonic knights formed a shield wall in the back, ready to charge at any time; The halberd and spear formed the first layer of the gun wall, and the people in the third and fourth rows continued to use the super long spear, the halberd and the spear to form the second and third layers of gun strength in the corresponding dislocation order.

In the attention of the review members and the tourists who began to come over in large numbers and the second dimension, one review member blew the horn at the same time, and another review member waved a flag with a black cross on a white background in his hand, indicating that the simulation battle officially began.

"Bogenschützen (crossbowmen)!" Prussian archers and Livonian crossbowmen drew their bows and prepared them for launch.

"Feuer!" At the sound of the command, the crossbow bolts and arrows began to fly towards the opponent's array of ultra-long spears, and the feathers of the arrows sliding through the air made a whistling sound.

It should have been known as early as in the previous simulated battle that any short-range soldiers would face the opponent's long-range attack before meeting, and those phalanx soldiers took off the fan-shaped shield from their backs and put the leather buckle on their bodies as quickly as possible, and then held it in front of them with their left hands, forming a shield formation that was not very tight.

Although the shield array composed of fan-shaped shields could not completely ignore the blows of crossbows and arrows, it was definitely better than nothing: apart from the harmless crossbow arrows shot at his own head by the unlucky bastard, who were forced to be shouted and pretended to be dead by the off-site supervising moderation members, the super-long spear array did not do much damage.

As the commander of his own group, in the Demon Ring-Wing Barrel Helmet, Feng Longde's brows furrowed. (To be continued......)
