Chapter 201 Hero Trial

Although he felt that he might fail the test this time, Shi Aimin still decided to take part in the second test to accumulate some experience.

After learning the lessons from the previous test, Shi Aimin was more cautious when selecting arms this time. In addition, his main purpose was to accumulate some experience, so the arms selected were basically infantry and crossbowmen , There is only a small team of cavalry, which is used to explore the road.Obviously, Shi Aimin's goal is to stick to the formation, so that the world that sticks to it should be able to last longer.

In the end, Shi Aimin bought a total of 50 sword and shield soldiers, [-] spearmen, [-] archers and [-] crossbowmen, and finally a team of cavalry archers with only more than [-] people.

After Shi Aimin finished selecting troops, the environment around him changed rapidly again, and the soldiers he bought were refreshed by his side one after another.

Shi Aimin took a look at the surrounding environment, and found that the battlefield environment was an endless prairie, and it was still raining lightly.This made Shi Aimin feel very depressed. After all, this terrain is most suitable for cavalry, but he only bought a team of cavalry.What's worse is that the power of the crossbow will be greatly reduced in rainy days, which is another weakening of his troops.

And as if to fight him specifically, at the end of the horizon, the enemy's troops soon appeared. It was a cavalry force composed of heavy cavalry archers and cavalry cavalry, the number of which was about [-].

"Damn!" Shi Aimin cursed and quickly ordered the soldiers under him to form formation. Those sword and shield soldiers with large shields were arranged by Shi Aimin at the outermost periphery, and then the pike soldiers, next to the sword and shield soldiers Deployed at the back, sharp spears protrude from the gaps in the shield, making the entire army formation look like a hedgehog.And the ones in the center are naturally those crossbowmen.

Looking from above, it can be seen that the military formation arranged by Shi Aimin presents a circular shape, which is a defensive formation with the strongest defense force, without any weak point or dead angle. Come in.

When Shi Aimin finished setting up the defensive formation, the enemy's cavalry had already reached the front of the formation. Seeing this, Shi Aimin immediately ordered the crossbowmen to shoot arrows at the enemy cavalry, especially those cavalry. After all, these things are the most annoying He was able to shoot and run, making it difficult to guard against. Once these guys seized the opportunity, it was very likely that they would cause serious damage to Shi Aimin's troops.

However, these enemy cavalry archers are indeed very cunning. Seeing Shi Aimin's crossbowmen start to shoot their bows and arrows, they quickly dispersed, like a glass of water being poured away in an instant, turning into Drop by drop of water, and they were all moving at a high speed, making it difficult for Shi Aimin's crossbowmen to aim and shoot.

After a round of arrow rain fell, only a dozen cavalry archers were shot down. This killing effect can be said to be very unsatisfactory.You must know that the crossbowmen have only fifty arrows in total. If they continue to shoot at this killing efficiency, they may not be able to kill all these archers even if they shoot all the arrows.

At the same time, the enemy's heavy cavalry were also wandering not far away, looking for fighter opportunities.As for the horse archers, they were running while throwing arrows at Shi Aimin's army formation, and they also aimed at the crossbowmen with weak defenses. It can be said to be extremely insidious.

Under the interference of the arrow rain of these cavalrymen, Shi Aimin's crossbowmen were even more unable to concentrate on shooting arrows. The accuracy was greatly reduced that time, and from time to time some people were shot down by the arrows of those cavalrymen. .

Seeing this scene, Shi Aimin was so angry that his teeth itch, and then he had an idea to make the peripheral infantry pretend to show a gap inadvertently, trying to lure the enemy cavalry to attack actively.

And the intelligence of the soldiers controlled by this system is not as high as that of real people. Seeing a fighter plane, the thousand heavy cavalry rushed towards the gap in the enemy's formation one after another. They fired arrows in an attempt to completely suppress the enemy's crossbowmen and cover their own heavy cavalry's attack.

The gap revealed by Shi Aimin is narrow and deep, showing a V-shape, which becomes narrower as you go in, and there are many spearmen who are ready on both sides.

He had researched this trick when he and his wife were playing games before, and it was very restrained by those heavy cavalry.The most terrifying thing about heavy cavalry is the momentary impact when they charge. Even elite heavy infantry can easily be overwhelmed by such an impact.

Therefore, Shi Aimin's formation, which he named 'scissor formation', simply did not confront those heavy cavalry head-on, but made a gap for those heavy cavalry to rush into the formation smoothly.But once those heavy cavalry rushed into the formation, they would find themselves in a trap.

Just like now, when those enemy heavy cavalry rushed into this gap, ready to kill straight into the formation, and wipe out the enemy's crossbowmen and generals, many spearmen on both sides who had been waiting for a long time came one after another. He rushed up with a long gun.

During the charging process, it was difficult for these heavy cavalry to adjust their direction. After all, war horses were not cars, and they could turn in one direction.So in this way, these heavy cavalry could only watch the enemy spearmen on the left and right rushing towards them, and then assassinated them with the four-meter-long phalanx spears in their hands.

Facing this kind of double attack, these heavy cavalry could not take care of the left and right, and after a few times of resistance, they were quickly poked off their horses one after another.

Seeing that their comrades in arms were in trouble, the cavalry archers immediately came to support them. They adjusted their shooting targets one after another and poured arrows on the spearmen.

However, these spearmen are all wearing solid full-body plate armor, which belong to heavy armored spearmen, and there are also those sword and shield soldiers holding large shields in front of them for cover, so the arrows of the cavalry archers simply caused damage. It doesn't have much lethality, but it wastes a lot of arrows.

Under the attack of many pikemen, almost all of the thousand heavy cavalry were killed by Shi Aimin in this 'scissor formation', and only more than 100 cavalry forcibly rushed out.But even if they escaped from birth, the morale of these heavy cavalry was so low that they could no longer continue to attack after killing a large number of comrades-in-arms, and the rest basically had to rely on the archers.

Shi Aimin couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw those heavy cavalry being defeated, and then he only needed to deal with those cavalry archers.So he quickly changed the formation, turning the original circular formation into a flying geese formation. The infantry covered the crossbowmen as if they were two wings of wild geese, and moved towards the cavalry archers a little bit from the left and right sides. Pressing over, constantly compressing the other party's activity space.After previous observations, Shi Aimin discovered that the battlefield generated by this system actually has a boundary. What he is thinking now is to slowly compress those horse archers to the boundary, so that the opponent has no way to escape and can only be Choose to face off with his infantry and crossbowmen.

But these cavalry archers were not so stupid. When they were slowly forced close to the border of the battlefield, they sped up one after another, split into two groups, and quickly spared the left and right sides of Shi Aimin's army. He even wanted to go around to the back of Shi Aimin's army and attack the weakly defended crossbowmen.

Faced with this kind of change, Shi Aimin could only lead his soldiers to rush to the corner of the battlefield, and then hid all the crossbowmen in the innermost part, while the infantry guarded the front. In front, a thick line of defense was formed layer upon layer.

Since this is a corner of the battlefield, Shi Aimin can completely use the two invisible battlefield boundaries as an absolute defense. The only thing that needs to be defended is the front of the troops. He can put more than 2000 infantry on top of each other. Arranged in the front, forming several lines of defense, this way, even if those cavalry archers want to break through by force, it is impossible. As for the counter-shooting, Shi Aimin feels that he only needs to be more careful in command, relying on the two thousand bows and crossbows under his command. It is still possible to fight with these thousand enemy cavalry archers and lose both sides.

Facing the tortoise formation set up by Shi Aimin, the cavalry archers controlled by the system had no choice but to continue to shoot at the crossbowmen under Shi Aimin. There are about a thousand archers left, and there are less than five hundred heavy cavalry archers left.

In the end, the five hundred cavalry archers who had finished shooting their arrows joined the remaining more than 100 cavalry, and launched a final desperate charge against Shi Aimin's tortoise formation.

It's a pity that the tortoise formation that Shi Aimin set up is too thick. In addition, the melee weapons equipped by those cavalry archers are all scimitars instead of lances, so the impact power is even smaller, and they often have not had time to cut When he saw the enemy, he was already poked off from the horse by the long phalanx spears of the spears.

In just 5 minutes, the remaining 600 cavalry fell in front of Shi Aimin's infantry, and Shi Aimin only paid the price of more than 100 infantry casualties.

As the last enemy cavalry was killed, Shi Aimin also immediately received a system prompt saying that he had successfully passed the second test, with a final score of 42 points.This score can be said to be very high, after all, the full score is only fifty.

It's a pity that Shi Aimin was easily defeated by the NPC fighter in the first personal combat test, and only scored a mere ten points. So adding the two together, Shi Aimin's final score was only 52 points, and he could not pass the trial .

This result was also expected by Shi Aimin, so when the system announced that he had failed the trial this time, he didn't seem too frustrated, and quickly chose to teleport back to the Tower of Light from the trial space.

And just when Shi Aimin's first trial challenge ended in failure, Zhang Xiaoqing also listened to the story told by the survivor captain.

It can be said that the fate of this group of survivors is really miserable. When the devil's curse bombing came, this group of survivors were all traveling in a scenic spot. It was a mountain with a very good view, because there There are not many tourists here, so the forbidden curse did not directly bomb here, so that the tourists in this scenic spot escaped the first round of killing and all survived.But this is not a good thing for these tourists.
Because the mentality of these tourists who had no casualties has not changed for a while, they are still thinking in a peaceful age. After the bombing of the forbidden curse, many people actually proposed to go to the nearest city to find rescue.The rest of the tourists couldn't object when they saw it, so they could only go with the flow.

But when these people rushed to the city closest to the scenic spot, they found that the city had already been completely destroyed by the demon's forbidden spell.

Some people who don't give up still want to go to the city to search to see if they can find some usable supplies and surviving humans.

But shortly after these people entered the urban area, the surviving humans were not found, but they bumped into a group of demon warriors patrolling the urban area first.

Panicked, these tourists naturally fled all the way out of the city, but in the end they led these demons to the large army.

At this time, it took the thousands of tourists a long time to arrive in the urban area. Some of the snacks they had brought with them had already been eaten, so they were hungry and tired at this time, and they even had a decent food in their hands. None of the weapons.So even though there were thousands of them in number, they were completely in a situation of being hanged and beaten in the face of more than 20 demon fighters in that area.Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call this encounter a massacre.

After experiencing the first bloody and cruel battle with the devil, these tourists who were still fantasizing about getting rescued by the government finally woke up completely, knowing that it is the end of the world and the government no longer exists. If they want to survive, they can only rely on themselves.

So the dozens of survivors who escaped from the sky finally elected the uncle named Dou Xiao as the captain, and began to wander around, searching for all available supplies.

It's a pity that this group of people's luck is really not very good. Not only did they encounter demons and mutant beasts several times, they also encountered a group of runaway undead creatures in a small town not far away.As a result, useful materials were not collected, but a lot of manpower was lost. By the time they arrived at the airport, there were only [-] people left.

And according to Dou Xiao, among their group of survivors, there are several of them who have obtained powerful professional inheritance of advanced arms. Unfortunately, almost all of these survivors with great potential came for the first time when they encountered the demon squad. Covering the retreat of others and dying in battle, this made their survivor team's combat power improve very slowly. The strongest among them was Dou Xiao, the captain who had obtained the swordsman's professional inheritance. He is only at level 26 now.Most of the other survivors are only in their early twenties, and a few old and weak women and children are even only in their teens.
