Chapter 117: Death Group

On the fifth day of August, the eight-year Tianjiao Dynasty War of Wuyang Guokairui officially kicked off.

The first is to draw lots to form a team.

This lottery is not a jade lottery representing 38 teams mixed together, and then each of them is drawn casually according to their luck. If this is done, it will be very detrimental to the selection of talents by the Wuyang State.

Why?

Imagine if two strong teams were drawn together, or two weak teams were drawn together, what would be the result?

The two tigers compete, the strong fight, the loser hates it, and the winner wins miserably. On the other side, there will be an embarrassing situation where the name of the tall person in the frustration does not match the truth. Taking such a hundred "Tianjiao seeds" to compete with the other two great powers, isn't this self-defeating?

Therefore, in order to protect the interests of the country and to ensure that as many really strong people can be selected as possible, the lottery is cross-drawn, that is, the strong draw the weak, and the weak draw the strong.

First, the Mizi battalion recorded the real combat strength of each team and submitted it to the imperial court. Then, according to the strength of the county warbands recorded in the archives, the two presiding ministers divided into 19 strong teams and 19 weak teams.

The strong team's jade sign is placed in the red box, and the weak team's jade sign is placed in the black box.

During the draw, the leader of the strong team will go to the black box to draw lots, while the leader of the weak team will go to the red box to draw lots. The result of such a draw is always strong against weak, weak against strong. The scales are heavily tilted in favor of the strong, and the weak become the stepping stones for the strong to climb the ladder.

Cultivating martial arts in troubled times, the strong are respected, and the rules of heaven and earth are like this. The strong will not have objections, and the weak cannot have objections.

The Yunzhou Tianjiao team is the undisputed weak team, and they can't even make up ten places. Shang Yunfeng once sent someone to ask Gu Jingcheng if he needed to have a good candidate from Shengjing or Gyeonggi Clan, who had surplus personnel. Gu Jingcheng refused, on the grounds that team battles should naturally focus on tacit cooperation, and suddenly there was an unfamiliar person, not only could not improve the combat power, but it was more likely to backfire.

The team of nine people was already sad enough, but when Gu Jingcheng took out the jade stick from the red box, he saw the mark on it, and his already ugly face turned white.

When this jade stick was presented to the two presiding ministers by Gu Jingcheng, who was full of sadness, Yao and Shang looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say.

No. 1 sign, corresponding to the battle group - Shengjing Tianjiao war group!

"That guy's mouth owes!" Ouyang Han was dumbfounded, he never expected that yesterday's words would become a prophecy.

"Someone is making a ghost ......" Hong Sheng just wanted to jump up, but was stopped by Luo Xiao -- what kind of occasion is this? Dare to jump like this, look for death! The Yunzhou War Regiment is already short of manpower, and if you roar like this, I am afraid that there will be one less person.

The rest of the deacons who led the team were bitter, the weakest team was against the strongest team, so what else was there to say? God just looked at Yunzhou this time unpleasantly!

Luo Xiao didn't pay attention to the gloomy atmosphere of the entire battle group, he just took out the bronze mask and turned it in his hand, thinking about whether to put it on. It's better not to do it, everyone is in front of you, it's too dazzling, so let's save it until the national war.

That's right, when Luo Xiao saw that Gu Jingcheng was actually drawn out of such a "death group", he knew that if he didn't go up, no one would be able to get on.

Anyway, Yunzhou is also Heshuo's neighbor, and he is also a member of this war group, and he has also participated in this once-in-a-decade event, even if he can't leave his name, he can also take a photo!

Therefore, Luo Xiao decided, no matter what Shengjing Tianjiao battle group he is, whoever comes is a stepping stone, so he will climb to the top once and step on the lotus seat.

The lottery was drawn, but bad luck does not always accompany the Yunzhou people, so the team that "went to the ladder" on the first day was not them. In this way, you can observe in advance and be prepared.

Watch the Battle of the Dynasty, the place where the ladder to heaven is located, at the peak of Baoding. Baoding Peak also has three large platforms from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, which are also artificially cut. On the mountainside platform, most of the viewers are Shengjing, Gyeonggi and other civilians, who bring their own chairs and stools, or stand or sit. The mountain breeze is quite strong, but fortunately it is the height of summer, and it is quite cool to blow. From this position, you can't see the top lotus platform, but you can still see it all the way to the top.

On the mountain platform, most of the viewers are wealthy businessmen and some prominent figures, there are special tables, chairs, tea and snacks here, and some people also wear screens to block the wind, after all, most of these people are a certain age, and the wind blows too much and can't stand it. This position is basically a comprehensive view.

On the top of the mountain, here is the place where dignitaries and various battle groups watched the battle, and of course, it also included envoys and guests from various countries. The Turle envoy regiment was among them, but all the soldiers who came were soldiers, and none of the civilian attachés were missing, probably negotiating with the Wuyang Kingdom.

At the top of the mountain, there is a huge flying stone, on which the king and his ministers are watching. Mountains and rivers are wild, and heroes compete for power, and you can see it at a glance.

The first match was played by Yinshan County from the southeast against Donghe County from the northeast.

It is interesting for these two counties to draw a group, because these two groups are recognized as "rival groups", and they are also the most popular group in the opening of casinos in the capital.

Yinshan County, ranked first among the nineteen weak teams, and almost squeezed into the strong team.

Donghe County, ranked first from the bottom of the top 19 teams, and almost fell into the weak team.

This is the rhythm of chess against opponents.

Sure enough, as soon as they got on the field, the two teams began to fight each other.

Twenty warriors, dressed in uniform costumes, red and black, representing strong and weak teams, carrying long and short weapons, with the Baoding Peak flying on the stone three horns and long sounds, twenty players at the same time grabbed the hanging rattan and climbed quickly.

Before even the first order, that is, the first platform, arrived, someone on the side of the red side of Donghe County drew a knife and cut the rattan, causing one person on the side of the black side of Yinshan County to fall.

This height of dozens of zhang, if an ordinary person falls, it will be ironclad into a meat patty. However, as a samurai, even the most junior samurai who has just been promoted cannot fall to his death so easily.

Sure enough, as soon as the rattan broke, the Black Warrior did not panic, and immediately reached out to grab another rattan after his body sank for several feet, quickly stabilized his body, and then quickly climbed up.

The Red warrior who drew the sword naturally didn't think that he could succeed in this move, but a small setback to his opponent still made him whistle proudly, hooked his hand at the black warrior, and then bit the knife in his mouth, and climbed up to the first step in three or two.

Next, the first battle of the Wuyang Kingdom Dynasty War took place between the pair of red and black samurai.

The straight-line distance from Baoding Peak to Tiantai Peak is about fifty or sixty zhang, and with the eyesight of a samurai, it is still relatively clear.

Luo Xiao saw it clearly, the red warrior took the preemptive action, swung his knife and chopped it indiscriminately, and in the cold light, the rattan within a radius of several zhang was cut clean, and the black warrior could not catch it, and he had to use his ten fingers as a hook to buckle into the mountain wall before he fell.

In the process, five players from each side of the red and black sides continued to climb the ladder, and the remaining five went to attack. It is clear that those who continue to climb are those who have the strength to win the championship, and those who remain belong to the assisters.

The samurai on both sides are fighting and climbing, and it seems that everyone does not want to give up hope of reaching the top. Only the two samurai who were the first to do it were glued to the first order, looking at the frame style, it is estimated that these two people have personal grudges.

A moment later, the winner was decided, and the red warrior took advantage of the geographical advantage, directly released his sword, and after a hundred and ten swords, he finally blasted the opponent hanging on the mountain wall down the cliff. Falling down dozens of feet high, even a strong Xuanwu fell half to death, his bones were broken somehow, his internal organs were seriously injured, and he basically withdrew from the battle group sequence.

The Red Fang warrior was not much better, he was covered in sword qi scars, covered in blood, and the most terrible thing was that the Yuan Force was exhausted, and he also lost the strength to win the championship.

When it came to the fourth order, which was the last platform, the battle between the two sides was the most intense, with swords and swords, and the strength was vertical and horizontal, and from time to time someone was knocked out of the cliff. Fortunately, the surrounding rattan is entangled, as long as you don't completely lose consciousness, you can catch it with a grab.

Half an hour later, the backbone of Donghe County was the first to reach the top, worthy of being the first in the Donghe Combat Regiment. Subsequently, each of the two county warbands reached the top. In the end, the top six were decided, four from Donghe County and two from Yinshan County. However, because the sixth alternate position is a member of the Donghe County Warband, strictly speaking, there are only three people in Donghe County. From this point of view, the strength of the two counties is really about the same, which shows the accuracy of the intelligence of the Mizi Battalion, and also reflects the infiltration of the Mizi Battalion into the county towns from another aspect.

However, the result of the close strength also has a bad side, that is, among the six people who reached the top, except for the first Guan Zhongjian, the remaining five were seriously injured, and they had to recuperate for at least a month, and they didn't know if they could recover their best condition when the national war began.

The second battle in the afternoon was the Qijiang War Regiment and the Beiyang War Regiment. Six Tianjiao seeds were also produced, and they were basically the top ones in the battle group, which shows that it makes sense that this kind of competition can be passed down.

In the third battle, the two battle groups that will appear tomorrow are the Shengjing Tianjiao War Group and the Yunzhou Tianjiao War Group.
