"How's it going out there?"

"Everything is going according to plan, and I believe it will be ...... soon"

"Okay, it's not in vain that we've been planning for a long time. By the way, what about the little ones who have just entered the General's Mansion. ”

"I have instructed Wu Yu to arrange for them. In other words, they are really willing, for that thing, they sent the elite of the elite, but their subordinates have a little effort. But there are still some people who are inevitably going to be affected. ”

"There's no way around it, I know you can't bear it, but this time you must focus on big things!"

"I'm provincial, I'm measured. ”

"Alright, go ahead, it's your turn to play soon!"

As the footsteps faded away, the darkness fell silent again.

......

After a long journey, they came to a large stone chamber. Looking left and right, there were about two hundred soldiers standing on both sides, divided into two teams, each lined up on both sides. One by one, with a tiger on their backs, heavily armoured, holding a spear in their left hand and a steel shield in their right hand, they stood there quietly, their eyes blazing, looking ahead.

"What kind of trouble is this, it won't be to kill us!" Zhang Xiaosheng looked at this situation, and thought with malice in his heart in connection with the uneasiness he had been feeling all along.

Looking at the others, they are also puzzled, obviously everyone is not clear about the intention of the General's Mansion. But Bei Mingyi looked like he didn't care, and he had a calm attitude.

"We have a hundred people here, and all of them are very skilled, it is obviously unrealistic to restrain us with these soldiers, could it be that there is a backhand?"

While Zhang Xiaosheng was thinking nonsense, Wu Yu at the front of the team stopped, turned around, motioned for everyone to stop, and then said:

"I think everyone is very confused now, why did I bring you here? ”

Wu Yu seemed to feel everyone's uneasiness and doubt, and paused and continued: "Now I am trying to announce that everyone will participate in a knockout tournament next, and only the top thirty in the competition will enter the second round!"

"Knockout round, didn't you say that the winner of the first game would directly enter the second round, how could there be an extra knockout round?"

"That's it, that's not what I said before. ”

"Yes, you have to give us an explanation!"

The crowd seemed to have smashed a pot, and they raised questions one after another.

"Everyone, be quiet, listen to my explanation!" Wu Yu said loudly at this time.

"Actually, this can also be said to be the first stage of the second round. The first round is to test everyone's skills. And now the knockout round will test your observation and adaptability!"

"In that case, let's not say anything, let's hurry up and announce the content of the game!" called one of the players.

"The soldiers on both sides must have seen it. There were a hundred soldiers on each side, and they were all good warriors that we had selected through layers of screening. In a few moments, you will be on the pitch two at a time, each under siege by a hundred men, and we will judge you according to how long you have held out and how well you have behaved. Now let's start drawing lots to determine the order!"

......

Zhang Xiaosheng took the number plate in his hand, one hundred, and he actually drew the last one, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

In the first round, the players were required to fight each other, but now the players are required to fight alone, although it is claimed that this move is because as the future uncle of the General's Mansion, he must have superior force and the ability to control the battlefield. But this kind of recruiting relatives is too unusual, right?

The game is in full swing. The soldiers do not rush to the top, on the contrary, they have a lot of laws between advance and retreat, and seem to be constantly forming different battle formations. Attacking each other and retreating, sometimes with a deliberate gap in between, seems to be deliberately giving the players a chance to breathe. It always feels like it's being tested or something.

Zhang Xiaosheng was the last to play, but it gave him the opportunity to pay close attention to the players.

The big man I knew before seemed to be called Wang Dakui. Although he is tall and has a wide range of giant sword attacks, he seems to be quite elbowed among these soldiers who have been trained for many years, and his attacks are often interrupted in the middle of his cast, and the big man seems to be quite helpless, and he has always had a feeling of being stuck in his throat, unable to go up and down, his face is flushed, and he is sweating profusely after a while. And those soldiers often retreat when the big man is about to reach his limit, creating a respite for the big man. Even so, Dahan only lasted about seven or eight minutes before he was defeated, and then leaned against the corner of the wall to gasp, as if he was a little out of strength.

Compared to the big men, some people are quite unlucky, just when they reach the limit, the soldiers will suddenly increase the frequency of attacks, and they will hold on for three or four minutes before they are directly defeated.

The game continued, and Zhang Xiaosheng gradually discovered some patterns. The game time of each player is compressed to about six or seven minutes, and the formation faced by each player is different, and it is very different from the battle formation that Zhang Xiaosheng learned in the book. However, these formations are also repeated, and the frequency of occurrence varies greatly.

Thinking back to my experience in the General's Mansion, the garden with traps, the courtyard with temporary rest, the knockout match that suddenly appeared, and the peculiar way of playing, I always felt that there seemed to be some connection between them.

At this time, the performance of several players attracted Zhang Xiaosheng's attention, it was a few players who did not have the slightest connection from the outside, if they had anything in common, that is, they were all too ordinary to attract the attention of others. Zhang Xiaosheng paid attention to them because Zhang Xiaosheng found that although their moves were different, after analysis, he found that there seemed to be some awkwardness between the moves, and he always felt that they were made on purpose.

"What the hell could it be?" Zhang Xiaosheng became more and more confused.

Soon it was Zhang Xiaosheng's turn to play.

Standing on the field, Zhang Xiaosheng felt a lot of pressure, and every collision seemed to have a strong force, as if those soldiers were deliberately targeting themselves, attacking again and again, not giving themselves the slightest respite. Zhang Xiaosheng was able to resist with five layers of skill, could it be that they wanted to be eliminated directly?

No, I haven't found the answer I want yet, it's too early to quit, and if you want to make me defeated, I'll just hold on a little longer!

Zhang Xiaosheng carried the 'Aoki Resisting the Wind' method that he had not used for a long time, and his body was erratic, and he used his strength to fight around with those soldiers. During this period, Zhang Xiaosheng secretly observed, and after about five or six minutes, seeing that Zhang Xiaosheng had not yet been taken, some soldiers' faces seemed to show a trace of anxiety, although it was fleeting, but Zhang Xiaosheng still keenly noticed this.

"Sure enough, there is a doorway!"

After holding out for about ten minutes, Zhang Xiaosheng noticed that more and more soldiers were getting uneasy.

"It seems that they are reaching the limit of their patience. Now that the time has exceeded all the contestants, there will be no reason to eliminate me openly, or if you push me too hard. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng retreated, got out of the encirclement, and signaled to admit defeat......
