My players are all actors

Chapter 166 Opening of a New Instance

The lieutenant general didn't persuade him any more, because the matter had come to this point, and he had no choice but to keep going forward.

Zhao Haiping held the rein in his left hand and the lance in his right, constantly using his talent of "observing the details" to look for flaws in the enemy's formation.

This talent is really easy to use. Zhao Haiping can determine the state of these soldiers at this time through their movements, demeanor and even subtle expressions, so as to find the weak points in the entire formation and constantly break through.

When encountering someone who came to block him, he would not fight to the death with the opponent, at most he would feint or parry with one hand holding his spear.

The horse lance is very long, so it is very inconvenient to use with one hand. General Qin's lance is even longer and larger.

Fortunately, relying on General Qin's fighting power, holding a lance with one hand also scared off many people in the chaotic army.

But soon, Zhao Haiping began to encounter new problems.

He rushed from left to right, and was soon trapped in a tight siege.

The generals and soldiers of the enemy army continued to surround him to fight him, and it became more and more difficult to fight back with a single-handed lance.

Obviously, the generals and soldiers on the opposite side are not useless. How could it be possible to watch an enemy general rushing left and right in the formation, and remain indifferent as if entering the land of no one?

Seeing all kinds of weapons stabbing at him, Zhao Haiping had to temporarily give up his plan to continue charging forward, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, left his left hand from the reins, and used both hands to fight back with a long spear.

This time he learned to be smart, he didn't collide with the charging cavalry like before, but tried to maintain his body balance as much as possible.

When encountering the enemy's attack, either dodge and dodge immediately, or use the lance to dial the enemy's weapon.

When counterattacking, attack the enemy general from the side with as much skill as possible to make him fall off the horse, and then hold the long lance backwards and stab the opponent to death with a stab.

The top-down jab is indeed the safest attack method in the stirrupless period, without any danger of falling off the horse.

And when stabbing horizontally, the way of exerting force is also particular.

The moment of stabbing will inevitably bear a certain reaction force, so it is best to choose a suitable angle, let the rod deform slightly to absorb a certain reaction force, and at the same time, at the moment of stabbing, let go as much as possible to let the reaction force go as far as possible. It may be less likely to be passed on to oneself.

When the hands slide from the back end of the long lance to the front end, reach out and hold it again, while maintaining balance with the body posture, you can ensure that you will not fall off the horse while poking the opponent off the horse.

I have to say that this is indeed a very technical action.

If it is put into modern equestrian, I am afraid that a large number of professional equestrians will have to be eliminated.

Zhao Haiping also couldn't master it very well. Although it was perfect in theory, it was another matter in actual combat.

In the absence of stirrups, the state of a person on a horse is a very delicate balance, and any external force may destroy this state.

What's more, the enemy generals are also brave and skilled generals. Zhao Haiping can't just maintain his own balance. He has to find a way to avoid or block the opponent's weapons. Otherwise, the dungeon will fail if he is knocked down by the opponent.

In this way, Zhao Haiping failed again and again and started again and again.

Relying on the talent of "observing the details" to constantly observe the enemy's flaws and keep them in mind; and relying on the talent of "proficient in spear skills" to constantly hone his fighting skills on horseback.

Waiting until the two items are almost practiced, you can try to get the "aggressive" talent to see if you can rush in front of Gao Yi and perform an assassination operation.

In short, the difficulty of this trial illusion is much more difficult than the previous four identity copies.

Zhao Haiping is ready to fight with it for more than a week.

……

At this time, many players also gave up the land reclamation of the cavalry trial early and entered the fortress of the orderer.

Li Hongyun is one of them.

It's not that he doesn't want to be a cavalryman, the key is that after going in and trying it, he found that this trial dungeon is too difficult!
The point is that his dog luck doesn't play a big role in it, which makes him uncomfortable.

After all, whether you fall off the horse or not depends entirely on the laws of physics, no matter how outrageous luck is, it is difficult to affect it.

Ouhuang is not willing to play games that do not require luck.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Li Hongyun has completely given up riding horses.

He discussed it with Chu Ge, and felt that the current cavalry trial was too difficult, and there was no special reward for the first pass. In this case, it would be better to move bricks in the Fortress of the Orderer to earn money first.

Wait for some boss to clear the copy of the cavalry trial, and then copy the answer according to the video.

For Li Hongyun, finally having his own fief, this is of course a gratifying thing.

Because this small piece of land in the fief was actually picked out from the historical slice and distributed to the players.

Only players who participated in the Sequencer Expedition can obtain fiefdoms.

Li Hongyun is the latest batch of internal beta players to join. He didn't participate in the last Sequencer Expedition, so although he opened the fief's portal before, after the transmission, there was only a small thatched cottage and nothing else.

Now, he finally has his own fiefdom.

Compared with the previous fief, some new content has been added.For example, players can now use muskets to hunt, and there are more martial arts arenas and shooting ranges in the fief.

There are various weapons in the martial arts field, as well as simple wooden machine man as a target, which can be used for training of various weapons; in the shooting range, shooting training of bows and muskets can be carried out.

Even in the fief, there appeared an area suspected of being a blacksmith's shop.

There are tools such as furnaces, anvils, and hammers. If you bring resources such as coal and iron ore from the Fortress of the Orderer, you should be able to forge weapons by yourself.

Some players have already begun to study and use it, but Li Hongyun has no such idea for the time being.

Because he doesn't know much about it.

In the game "Dark Sands", most of the gameplay is extremely realistic, that is to say, it may be a little easier to strike iron in the fief than in reality, but it will never be much easier.

And from the current point of view, forging iron by yourself is nothing more than saving a little processing fee, and it also consumes a lot of time. Ordinary players might as well go to the blacksmith shop to buy ready-made ones.

Unless some gifted players can use the smithy to create some special weapons for their own use, or their forging skills are higher than that of the blacksmith.

As for the Fortress of the Sequencer, changes have also taken place.

The area of ​​the entire historical slice is further expanded, and there are many more exploreable areas around it.

Players start to explore new areas, find new minerals, or hunt more monsters who strayed into this slice.

The blacksmith shop has also updated a lot of new equipment. Basically, all the weapons and armors that appear in the dungeon of "Feng Hou Is Not My Will" can be purchased, including muskets, thunderbolts and so on.

The number of construction workers such as stonemasons and carpenters has also increased significantly, and the next construction plan of the Fortress of the Ordered Ones can continue.

Li Weiyi and other players began to get busy again. On the one hand, they were supervising the construction of the other two walls of the Fortress of the Sequencer, and on the other hand, they continued to survey other terrains in the entire historical slice, and continued to consider the planning of defensive facilities for these terrains.

In the previous battles, the players have deeply realized the importance of city defense fortifications, so they also support Li Weiyi's work, and work hard to move bricks every day to accumulate more construction values ​​to prepare for the next battle.

……

In this way, a week passed quickly.

Construction work is in full swing on the Citadel of the Ordered.

No one was able to pass the cavalry trial illusion.

In the official forum, countless players have already expressed their dissatisfaction.

Obviously, their experiences were similar to Zhao Haiping's, from anticipation, to bewilderment, to shock, and finally to collapse.

The cavalry trial dungeon is really too difficult!

Playing the role of General Qin and beheading Gao Yi?Reappear the unprecedented "take the head of the general from the army"?
What did the designer of "Dark Sand" think?
Players have said that they just want to ride a horse in this game, why is it so difficult!
In other games, horses are basically given for free, just by pressing the button twice.At most, it's just spending some money to learn advanced riding skills, or spending some time to catch a wild horse and put it on the bridle.

As a result, "Dark Sand" was good. If you want to be a cavalryman, you should first cosplay the famous general Qin through the ages.

Of course, the players complained and complained, and the official "Dark Sands" remained the same as before, indifferent!

The players quarreled for a while with no results, so they had no choice but to continue to fight this difficult dungeon.

Of course, top players like Zhao Haiping have made considerable progress in the dungeon even though they haven't cleared the level yet.

Customs clearance should only be a matter of time.

Today, the players' attention is not on the cavalry trial copy.

Because the new dungeon of "Dark Sand" "with reckless heroism" is officially open!
