Chapter 325: Battlefield Experience
Tens of thousands of soldiers, like cattle and sheep, were driven by the generals, and finally came to the selected battlefield, a rather vast plain. On the opposite side, there are also tens of thousands of people who are already waiting for the formation. The banners are shaking with the wind, and there is a faint sense of murder.
Don't look at the way these soldiers looked messy, chatting and laughing with each other, coupled with the yelling of the military leaders, it was hard to tell that they were going to the battlefield. However, when they actually got to the front of the two armies, the soldiers didn't need to be restrained by the army leader, and under the influence of that atmosphere, they gradually became quiet.
"Brother Ye, do you think those two groups were assigned to the opposite side?" Lin Mumu whispered to Ye Zan. Even as a cultivator, under the influence of the killing atmosphere on the battlefield, Lin Mumu's temperament could not help but restrain himself a lot.
The two groups mentioned by Lin Mumu naturally refer to the two groups of demonic and mysterious forces. The two groups of people entered here first, and have disappeared until now, and they don't know where they went.
"I hope they can be assigned to the opposite side." Ye Zan also said looking at the army formation on the opposite side.
If everyone is on one side, it will definitely be more troublesome to clean up those two groups. After all, here, one must abide by the rules here, and it is definitely not acceptable to take action against one's own side, and there may be some kind of military punishment.
However, if the two groups are assigned to the opposite side, the two sides will become hostile. Then, if Ye Zan had to deal with those two groups, he would be able to avoid a lot of worries.
In fact, this is not impossible, after all, this level is only for people to experience the battlefield. The so-called record does not refer to which side wins. If you can kill the enemy to get a record here, you can also kill the enemy to get a record there.
It's just that the distance between the two sides is far away now, and Ye Zan can only sigh that he is helpless if he wants to find the faces of the two groups of people from the tens of thousands of people on the opposite side without any technological equipment.
After a while, the formation of both sides was completed, and Ye Zan and others were standing in the front row, obviously playing the role of cannon fodder.
Immediately afterwards, from the side of Ye Zan and the others, a member of the army came out of the battle and came to the front of the two armies. This general, the equipment on his body is of course much better than Ye Zan and others, but it is not a bright armor, and it does not seem to be an important role.
I saw this general, coming to the front of the formation of the two armies, holding a big gun and pointing at the opposite side to call for formation. After two yells, in the middle of the opponent's army formation, they moved a little to the two sides, and one of them urged his horse to rush out.
The two exchanged a few words before the formation, which was nothing more than "common name for the general", and then each urged their horses to fight in one place.
This is the so-called fighter,
If the general wins, the morale of one's own side will be greatly improved. If you lose, of course your morale will drop.
Morale seems to be quite illusory, and there is no way to express it clearly with a numerical value. However, the impact of morale on a battle is often crucial, especially in the era of cold weapons.
Besides, in front of the formation of the two armies, two generals circled their horses, each waving their spears.
However, their fight wasn't about some martial arts masters fighting each other, it wasn't about exaggerating when the two of them exchanged dozens of moves from the ground to the sky. Often when two horses cross each other, the two sides only make three or five moves, and then they each go far away. After turning the horse's head, the two sides urged the horses to fight together again.
This is not because the horse cannot be controlled, but to borrow the momentum of the horse. This is the difference between horse fighting and foot fighting. It was precisely because the confrontation was only in an instant, so those three or five moves were killing moves that had been honed over time, instead of waving weapons indiscriminately.
Not long after the two fought, the general on Ye Zan's side saw an opening and stabbed out, immediately knocking the opponent off the horse.
The soldiers on Ye Zan's side immediately waved their knives and guns when they saw this scene, shouting "Wan Sheng!". Originally, the voices of the crowd were still a little messy, but they quickly gathered together. Tens of thousands of people shouted "Wan Sheng" in unison, and anyone can feel the high morale.
And in the opponent's army, soon another member urged the horse out of the battle, obviously not wanting to let the morale of this side improve. As long as this member of the general side can successfully kill the opponent, the morale of Ye Zan's side just raised is likely to be suppressed in an instant.
In a blink of an eye, the two will fight together again.
After more than a dozen rounds, the general on Ye Zan's side, perhaps because he had expended too much energy before, was obviously showing signs of defeat.
At this time, just behind the army, there was the sound of "dong dong dong" drums. Then, the pawns around Ye Zan and the others immediately began to move forward, first slowly stepping, and gradually getting faster and faster, charging towards the enemy.
"Hey, we're finally here." Lin Mumu said with a smile, but there was a trace of nervousness in his tone.
For ascetics, it is very insecure without mana, and now they are thrown on the battlefield, anyone will feel nervous.
However, this is indeed not a good phenomenon. The more tense the battlefield is, the easier it is to go wrong. Ye Zan glanced at the others, and sure enough, all of them were tense, and some people's hands were even trembling slightly.
Ye Zan had no choice but to secretly inform Ye Xiao, asking Ye Xiao to take care of other people as much as possible. At this time, it is actually useless to say anything. Only by letting these people go through one or two battles can their mood be restored.
Finally, the armies of both sides collided in the middle of the plain.
For pawns, there are no moves to talk about. There are people in the front, back, left, and right. All they can do is to keep moving forward, whether it's stabbing or chopping, even if it's just hitting them with their bodies. As cannon fodder, Ye Zan and the others had no other choice at all, and they couldn't even stop in their footsteps. It was even like being pushed forward by the people behind.
Ye Zan held the spear, exerted a little force in his hand, and the front of the spear shook slightly, blocking the stabbing spear, and then stabbed out with the opportunity, hitting the enemy soldier's throat. It's not what Ye Zan wants to pursue, but in such an environment, piercing the throat can make it easier to draw a gun. Otherwise, you will be like some soldiers around you, who can't draw their guns after stabbing the enemy, and can only move forward against the corpse.
Moreover, in this case, in fact, the short time of drawing the gun is enough to stab with three or five long spears. Therefore, the cannon fodder in the front row like them is often one life for another, and few people can last long.
There was a "click".
The long spear in Ye Zan's hand was broken before he had earned many victories. This is the treatment of cannon fodder. Neither side expects that the cannon fodder can play a big role. It is more like treating them as a wall of flesh.
On Ye Zan's side, he was assassinating the enemy and protecting the brothers and sisters of the Lin family. This long spear, which was already rough and worn out, had been used too much.
Once Ye Zan's spear was broken, half of the stick was left in his hand. He didn't throw away half of the stick either, it's better to have something than nothing.
However, when Ye Zan's spear broke, the people around him were startled awake. The eyes of the Lin family siblings regained clarity, and immediately each stabbed the spear in their hands, stabbing to death the enemy soldier who wanted to take advantage of Ye Zan. However, the two of them didn't think too much about it. They stuck their spears solidly, directly piercing each other, and it would be very difficult to pull them out.
"Damn, bring the knife!" Lin Mumu simply turned around and snatched the knife from the soldier behind him. For him, compared to the long spear, this knife is much easier, and a sword would be even better.
The soldier who was robbed of his sword at the back was about to shout something, but seeing Lin Mumu cut down the two of them in a blink of an eye, he didn't dare to say anything else. Although as the lowest-level pawn, his ability is absolutely average, but he still has some eyesight, otherwise he wouldn't live long at all.
On Ye Zan's side, holding half a wooden stick, he encountered an enemy soldier with a knife on the opposite side. He was not polite either, and swept the opponent's neck with a stick, and at the same time snatched the opponent's knife.
The scuffle didn't last long. Ye Zan and the others hadn't gotten much results yet, and the opponent had already started to be defeated. In a cold weapon war, if 30% of the casualties are not defeated, then they can already be regarded as elite soldiers. But now, the opponent was obviously far from being an elite soldier. Just running out of cannon fodder, they couldn't hold on anymore.
After a while of chasing and killing, Ye Zan's side got mixed up a bit, and an order to withdraw troops came from behind.
Soon, Ye Zan and the others returned to the barracks where they set off with the large army, and everyone gathered together again.
"How's it going, how's everyone's record?" Ye Zan asked the crowd.
And upon hearing Ye Zan's words, Cheng Liangqi and the others showed a bit of shame on their faces. Even the people on Ye Zan's side also seemed a little embarrassed. After all, it is quite embarrassing to think about it when a dignified ascetic is frightened on the battlefield.
"Anyway, everyone is safe and sound. This is a good start. As for the record, don't worry too much, just take your time." Ye Zan could only comfort everyone in this way.
Originally, I thought that this test should not be very difficult. After all, we are all cultivators. Even if we lose mana, our physical fitness is far from comparable to that of ordinary people. But now it seems that it is not unreasonable for such a test to be placed on the fifth floor.
Moreover, for these ascetics, apart from psychological problems, there is also a very important problem, which is the use of those weapons.
Even if these ascetics have learned various martial arts during the period of practicing qi and building a foundation, they all need the assistance of true qi and vital energy. If there is no true qi and essence, those martial arts will become flashy, far less practical than those simple moves honed on the battlefield.
This is also the reason why, even if everyone adapted to the environment of the battlefield, they couldn't get much record.
However, this problem is easy to solve. After all, the moves used on the battlefield are not difficult, and they can quickly master them with their abilities. Especially Ye Zan, through the calculation of the auxiliary chip, summed up some very practical moves, and then taught them to everyone without reservation.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the two sides lined up on the plain again, and at the beginning it was still the two fighting generals. But this time, on the side of Ye Zan and the others, even the last two generals were picked by the opponent, and the morale obviously dropped a lot.
After the general, the other party saw that his morale was high, so he decisively launched a charge first. The military formations of both sides, like two tides, collided again and again, and the sound of shouting and killing was deafening.
Ye Zan and others also had experience this time, and their performance was much better than before, at least they were not frightened by this scene. So, the soldiers were surprised to find that a group of white-faced scholars and old men and women were as fierce as tigers descending from the mountain.
However, this time the battle did not last too long. Seeing that the two sides couldn't tell the difference for a while, they each called for gold and retreated.
After returning to the camp, everyone got together and calculated the results, but it was still not satisfactory. On the one hand, the fighting time was too short, and on the other hand, everyone was still somewhat inexperienced.
"Hey, Brother Ye, look over there!" Suddenly, Lin Mumu said to Ye Zan in surprise, and at the same time raised his chin towards the distance.
Ye Zan looked in the direction indicated by Lin Mumu, but saw a general in bright armor patrolling the camp in the distance. The most important thing is that behind the general, there are still four personal soldiers, which are the four people from the mysterious force who have not been seen before.
"Why did they become personal soldiers!" Lin Mumu said rather annoyed.
As the general's personal soldiers, naturally they don't need to be on the front line of the battlefield. Only when the general is threatened, the personal soldiers will play a role. Moreover, judging from the equipment on the four of them, the four of them are indeed living a good life, and they are not comparable to Ye Zan and other cannon fodder characters.
Lin Mumu was unhappy, not because the other party's life was comfortable or uncomfortable, nor was it because of the other party's equipment. The point is, this means that the record required for this level basically needs to be completed by yourself and others, and the other party will hardly make any contribution.
And the four people from the mysterious force also noticed Ye Zan and others at this time. After all, Ye Zan and his group are so conspicuous in this barracks that it's hard not to notice them. However, the other party didn't come over to say hello, and didn't even make eye contact with this side, and turned away after only a glance.
However, Ye Zan could sense that the four of them were about to make some moves. Perhaps if the other party wants to come, with Ye Zan's strength, it is undoubtedly the most suitable place to deal with Ye Zan. If they pass the test and everyone recovers their mana, Ye Zan also has four Yuanying ancestors, so it will be difficult to deal with.
At the same time, Ye Zan also saw some useful information from those four people. Originally, he thought that since the battlefield was used to test everyone, everyone should be treated the same, and everyone should play the role of cannon fodder, and they should also fight on the front line in battle.
But now it seems that this identity is not unchangeable, and being cannon fodder may be the most stupid way to gain records. Just like online games, the rewards you get for killing ordinary mobs and killing big bosses are definitely different. (To be continued.)
