916 Book Team Battles
Zhou Shu took the family to watch the battle group fight each other, the two sides of the fight were the 'Quenching War Group' and the 'Morning Mist War Group', the two sides seemed to be fighting in the tavern just because of a disagreement, and finally made trouble like this, and they needed to run to the big arena to divide the life and death.
While the two teams were fighting in the tavern, Marlena was watching from the sidelines. Her purpose was to mess with some wine and food, and she succeeded, and then watched the whole process while drinking and eating bread. In fact, their conflict is not just as simple as a tavern fight, strictly speaking, they accidentally smashed the tavern completely, and the tavern owner sued the two teams to the city lord, and then they lost their fortunes, and the conflict between the two sides intensified.
In fact, what Marlena learned is not complete, this kind of gossip is like this, and it takes a lot of listening to it to piece together a rough story. They slipped to the front of the arena and saw some warriors with swords chatting there, and from their mouths they asked why they were fighting to make up for the loss they had paid to the tavern.
There was a bet on this fight, and before the fight, both sides registered all the assets of the warband, and the winning side would get all of them, and the losing side would have to disband the team.
"In fact, it is not a big deal to disband the team, just change the head of the regiment, change the name, and re-establish it. ”
These well-informed warriors value money, and as far as they can see, warbands can be reorganized, but it is a bit whimsical to unite the members without money and tie people together with fragile friendships. Therefore, as long as a war group runs out of money, it will fall apart in minutes, and the so-called dissolution of the defeated party in the agreement is nothing more than a step down for those who want to leave the poor ghost war group.
Marlena has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and she stared at the money bag on Zhou Shu's waist with some concern. "Money is a very important thing, how much collective money does our team have?"
"Not a single point. Zhou Shu glanced at her, "It's all my private property, how can I have any collective funds." ”
"And how many?"
"Unlimited. "Zhou Shu said very directly.
"Really, then I can't eat with you in the future, just ask me for a separate one, I don't want to be a vegetarian with you. ”
During these two meals, Zhou Shu had already eaten himself like a rabbit. It's quite sad, especially when the plants in this world are all gray and black, and every dish on the table looks like fried cabbage and fungus, which looks very disgusting.
Mortiaz also came with a mission, returning to the Dream Oasis in March, picking up her magical little staff and returning the green to the world. The whole process needs to continue casting spells for a month, and the time conflicts with the activities of the warband on Zhou Shu's side. If the sick princess doesn't come from the White Moon Country to help, then the only thing that can protect her is the labyrinth and the stone giants inside.
Just entered the arena and found a good seat to sit down. The people of the two warbands of Quenching and Morning Mist stepped into the arena.
The arena is very empty, the area for fighting is large, and the ground is yellow sand that looks like friction, and it doesn't seem to hurt to fall on it.
The two warbands have no characteristics at first glance, and the gap between the members and the passers-by and soldiers who are sitting and watching the battle is not very big, and the public face of Yishui is not half a woman.
Zhou Shu saw this strange strength, "Why are all the audience warriors?" Should I get one too?"
Since there is almost no magic in this world, the space props for him and the sick princess have been deactivated. Avoid getting in trouble. Despite this, the two of them are not particularly restrained in the use of magic, and the magic sword in the hand of the sick princess is her regular source of combat power, and it is impossible not to give it up.
As a warrior, although Marlena is an outsider, she still knows a lot about things here.
"It is estimated that these 'spectators' are thinking about poaching some talent from the losing team. We're so short of people, why don't we dig up a few too?"
Sick Princess: "Yes." As long as it works. ”
As the players from both sides entered, there were very tacit boos in the audience, and everyone thought that these people were too abrasive and wanted to fight quickly. Seize the time to decide the winner. It can be seen that these people really don't come to see the excitement, and they are full of purpose.
Zhou Shu grabbed his notebook and gel pen with him, ready to record what he learned a little. The Mitsubishi UM100 with a transparent pen case made Morty on the side curious, and the black leather notebook also has a binding technique beyond this civilization.
Xiaoyang has read a lot of books and knows a lot about books, but from her ignorant appearance, it seems that those books are novels rather than academic books of social science.
Zhou Shu saw that she looked like she wanted to help herself write, so he threw her a pen and paper and asked her to record it at will. With Morty's identity, he will definitely not be able to detect the excellent details of the battle between the two sides, but it doesn't matter, anyway, the three pairs of eyes here are staring, and they shouldn't lose it.
Urging the warband to fight quickly seemed to be the tradition of this arena, and under the boos, the Quenching Warband and the Morning Mist Warband calmly made preparations.
The southerners in the team have made their bodies huge, and at the same time they have reached a height of five meters, which is relatively mediocre, and they can be regarded as ordinary level powerhouses. There were two giants on each team, and Marlena explained this configuration a little, which was said to be a very reasonable number arrangement.
In the team battles of the northerners, the main combat force is the northern warriors who are light and nimble and good at using weapons. These fighters are not very strong on a single person, but they are extremely uniform in combat. Compared to the Southern giants, it is more suitable for team battles, and the offense and defense are very relaxed.
In such a state, it is difficult for the two giants in the warband to kill and injure the enemy, and they are often the first to be subdued due to their huge size. As a result, a small number of Giants will be armed with highly defensive equipment, such as broadswords, which are primarily used to protect teammates and limit the advance of enemy arrays.
If there are too many giants, it is easy to be shot by a large number of northern warriors' bows and arrows, and their combat power will be wasted, and they will not be able to cooperate well with the northern warriors.
Marlena explained, and then explained the main reason for only joining the two southern giants - there was no money.
"Giant weapons are expensive and can be easily broken. We in the South usually make an appointment to use only oil-soaked tree trunks as weapons in small battles. With that, she made a gesture of hugging the trunk in her arms, "I'm already starting to miss my first trunk." The zuò is made with scented fruit wood, and vanilla is added to the oil, which smells great. ”
Zhou Shu imagined the picture of Marlena holding a big tree and smelling it, but he could only make up the scene of her holding a sack full of big hemp leaves and smoking drugs, which should feel similar.
The giants of the two warbands dressed their equipment on the battlefield with their bare butts, and put on wooden planks in armor woven from thick rope. Marlena said with a sad face. When the time comes, the female warrior will also expose her body in front of many spectators and complete the costume change.
"This is the sorrow of a southern woman. She seemed to have resigned herself to it.
When the giant took out his weapon, it directly caused a burst of laughter from the audience, and the originally tense atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
"Damn, the bronze bell of the bell tower turned out to be a !! stolen by the poor ghosts who quenched it."
One of the giants of the Quenching Warband clutches a bronze bell with a welded handle that looks like an oversized mug, as if intent on using it against his enemies. It seems that the officers and soldiers who ran to Blacksmith Street to arrest people were wronged good people.
Zhou Shu was clapping his legs on the side, and the sick princess also felt sincerely happy. According to the rules of the game, the battle must start three minutes after the giant finishes the table. The late arrival was automatically judged to lose, so the two sides fought amid the laughter of the crowd.
At the beginning of the battle, Zhou Shu, who wanted to learn something, began to become intent, staring at the fighting styles of both sides. The two warbands arranged their giants in front of the team at the same time, and the northern warriors formed a team, holding their bows and arrows in their hands.
The giant with the bronze bell tapped his bell with his fingers, beating the drum as if for amusement, and from the slow rhythm it did not seem to be used to boost morale.
Zhou Shu knew some of the history of the British lobster formation's war. The kind of square array that is jokingly called 'line up to shoot'. It is considered a method of combat that emerged in response to the evolution of weapons.
When a firearm transitions from an arquebus to a flintlock pistol, the trigger is only required to fire the gun. There is no need to grasp the dangerous source of fire to light the arque, and the soldiers can stand more densely.
In addition, the flintlock musket gun bullets fly out of the spectrum after being shot, and it is basically useless to aim, so it is more efficient for everyone to stand in a row and attack the front together. Troops that are brave enough to shoot with their eyes closed are more likely to suppress fire and survive than those who are timid and afraid of death.
The British continued to use this tactic in the eighteenth century, when rifled guns were massively equipped with greatly improved shooting accuracy. happily fought a war to suppress colonial independence, which is a typical case of not being able to use the equipment after it is finished.
Master Zhou stared at the two warbands that were holding bows and arrows and aiming at each other, and it was basically determined that the arrows shot by these soldiers were not worse than rifled guns, and the estimated rate of fire was a little faster. This made him a little confused about the reason why these guys formed a phalanx.
Watching a play with questions is always exciting, adding an element of suspense to the excitement. The problem was soon revealed, and when the two sides gave the order to start firing at each other, the giants standing in front of the formation used their bodies and weapons to block the enemy's flying arrows. The reason why they lined up was to make it easier for the giants to protect them, so that they could protect all their companions in one go.
Due to the large size of the giant with wood chip armor, he successfully lowered the enemy's first wave of attacks. The northern warriors decisively prepared for the second round of volleys, and the quenching war group that stole the bronze bell was one step higher, and organized the attack first.
Another round of twenty feathered arrows was fired, and the giants of the Morning Mist War Group blocked again, and this gear was much more difficult, and many arrows pierced deep into the giant's muscles.
Marlena hurriedly explained, worriedly: "If you don't get these arrows out before the strength is gone, you will die when your body recovers." ”
The first round of the battle was decided, and Quenching overpowered the enemy with faster shooting techniques, and the two warbands soon entered the phase of mutual fire, covered by giants. Quenching relied on the lead in the first round to crush the enemy's giant one step earlier, raining arrows on his opponent's head.
The Morning Mist Wargroup had no choice but to disperse and flee, and the three of them surrounded the Quenching Warband, as if they wanted to disrupt the enemy's position with a surprise attack. The Quenching Warband finally gained the upper hand and continued to shoot in formation, the target being commanded by the giants, who targeted a certain trio to the death.
The three men lay down under two rounds of arrows, and if the northern warriors could not survive the arrows in their brains, they would have all hung up.
Although the Quenching War Group took the lead and killed people first, there seemed to be a young man with strong individual combat power on the side of the Morning Mist War Group.
A warband of twenty people can only be divided into six groups of three, and the other group is two. The warrior of the Morning Mist was inconspicuous in the duo, approaching the enemy phalanx before his comrades. When the giant was about to block his attack with the bronze bell in his hand, the young man jumped on the giant and poked his long sword into the position of the kidney, which made Zhou Shu feel painful.
This fight has no reference value for Zhou Shu's side, because both sides choose to start with bows and arrows at the same time. According to Marlena, there are actually many ways to start the battle between the warbands, and this time they chose the same style of play only by accident.
Zhou Shu doesn't know archery, and the sick princess doesn't know much about it. As absolute combat power, the two of them will definitely not use the kind of method that they can't use. And they can attack the enemy in a more effective way, no more thrilling than playing.
Since the battle did not play a substantive teaching role, the two basically lost interest in watching. The battle did not last long, and the quenching side unexpectedly fell into a big crisis, and the advantage was reversed.
They took the lead in the bow and arrow competition, and took the lead in killing the three enemies, but they were not willing to give up their bow and arrow suppression advantage, and they were still shooting arrows when the enemy was approaching, which directly led to their team being torn apart.
At the critical moment, the giant who was hit by the kidney endured the pain and picked up the weapon he stole to reverse the plot again. The powerful young man of the Morning Mist Bands did not kill the bell-wielding giant, after all, it was too large and too difficult to kill, and he thought that his attack had made the enemy lose his combat effectiveness.
Unfortunately, the giant was just crashing to death, and when the leader of the Morning Mist Regiments came to fight, he slammed up from the ground and smashed the bell at the other party, directly slapping the unlucky leader into a pulp.
As soon as the head of the regiment dies, the game is over. This rule is similar to that of chess, where a veteran checkmate is over.
Zhou Shu and the sick princess were not satisfied with this competition at all, there was no interest at all, and they didn't find any particularly prominent characters, only the active youth of the Morning Mist War Group was more impressive.
"Why don't we go and ask him to take a look?" said the sick princess. Mortiaz on the side grabbed his notebook and shook his head, indicating that there were better recruits on the Morning Mist Band's side.
Lamb found a very powerful archer in the Morning Mist Warband, although their wargroup lost in the salvo battle, but it was because there were many shortcomings in the team, and the archer opened the bow twice as fast as most of his comrades. (To be continued......)
