Peerless Pirates

In the early morning of November 25th, the sky was overcast with dense clouds (read the full text of Beasts in Pairs (The Last Orcs)). The north wind was also blowing extremely fiercely, biting the bones. The few trees outside the A-shaped training ground were blown by the strong wind.

Blowing hard, each branch whipped towards the sky like a whip, making a sharp whistling sound.

This is not a good weather for a competition. However, for the city guard sergeants who are used to training in severe cold and heat, it is nothing. Song Zheng heard Xin Qiji say that because the competition for the Wu Zhuangyuan Order is arranged in winter

, three times it snowed heavily. If we compete in the snow, not only will we be physically exhausted, but we will also suffer a lot more casualties.

Song Zheng stood solemnly in front of the team with his unsharpened weapon. Ding Long, Cai Yong and other fifty sergeants of the ninth team were divided into two teams, and they also stood like javelins, letting the strong wind cut their faces.

Everyone's eyes are looking towards the same goal ahead.

At this time, in the center of the A-shaped training ground, there is a mountain-shaped wooden frame four feet high, with a square top. In the wooden slit at the top, a ruler-long red token is inserted, with three seal characters written on each side.

Word: promotion order.

A hundred feet away on the east, west, and north sides of the wooden frame are Xu Xuecheng's sixth team, Gu Jinzhong's second team, and Song Zheng's ninth team. The colors of their clothes are blue, white, and black respectively. And in

A hundred feet away from the south side of the wooden frame, there is a painting

There is a striking white line on it. The white line is only two feet long, and a wooden stake one foot high and half a foot thick is buried at each end, forming a gate shape with the white line. This gate is called the Victory Gate. However,

, Da Qi’s martial arts officials all call it the Gate of Happiness.

One foot behind the white line is a table. Behind the table, Feng Zhanbao, the city guard general, is sitting on a chair, with dozens of sergeants standing beside him (the latest chapter of Rebirth of the Qing Princess). And behind the table

Next to him, a general stood respectfully, his body still a little bent.

This morning, there was a competition at the A training ground and the B training ground. Song Zheng's Group A and Han Kui's Group B respectively. Cao Huanzhang and Zeng Ping's Group C and D will not be decided until the afternoon.

Issue a promotion order.

Song Zheng was directly north of the wooden frame, facing Feng Zhanbao from a distance across the wooden frame. However, he could not see Feng Zhanbao's face and could only look to the east and west to look at his opponent.

Xu Xuecheng's face was full of coldness, and his aquiline nose pointed out a resolute arc, adding a bit of coldness. Behind him, he carried two large iron maces, shining dimly in the gloomy weather. He clenched his fists

, looking at the wooden frame with a bit of fanaticism in his eyes. As if feeling Song Zheng's gaze, Xu Xuecheng glared over fiercely.

The corner of Song Zheng's mouth curled up. What? It seems like he owes you two hundred taels of silver. Song Zheng turned his gaze to the west again. Gu Jinzhong also had a solemn face, and his small eyes kept turning. He was observing the wooden frame.

, while stretching out his hand to measure something, as if he was estimating the height of the wooden frame.

Song Zheng withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes, but the Chunyang Secret Manual was running crazily. A warmth quickly traveled through his body, driving away the chill brought by the biting north wind.

After all, this is not a real killing field. None of the city guard sergeants are wearing armor. Instead, they wear a thin cotton coat and a war robe on the outside. Song Zheng, on the other hand, only wore some jackets underneath, making him look even thinner.

Thanks to the help of Chunyang Pu, he didn't feel cold.

The structure of the wooden frame is very simple. In the middle is a huge log that is more than four feet high. The four sides are staggered with five-inch-round wood and tied with tough special cowhide ropes. The cowhide ropes are twisted from cowhide tendons and soaked in sesame oil.

After a long time, several cowhide tendons are twisted into a rope that is so strong that it is not easy to break even if it is cut with a sharp blade.

This kind of wooden frame is not difficult to climb, but the difficulty lies in how the person who obtains the token gets off the wooden frame and how to break through the opponent's blockage! Speaking of which, although Song Zheng, Xu Xuecheng and Gu Jinzhong are also hundreds of feet away from the wooden frame,

Xu and Gu

To take advantage, they can directly send people to block the Victory Gate (read the full text of the Magician's Travels). The distance from them to the Victory Gate is only a little over 140 feet, while it takes more than 140 feet to get to the Victory Gate from Song Zheng.

A full two hundred feet.

Speaking of which, this is a bit unfair, but Song Zheng is the number one, so he will naturally suffer a small loss. In the case of three teams, it is not certain who will suffer. Once the three teams start fighting, the situation will be relatively small.

It’s complicated. The most intense battles are in two places. One is under the wooden frame, where you must first ensure that you can grab the token. The second is in front of the victory gate, where you must successfully deliver the token through the door.

The battle under the wooden frame must be to grab the token, and after grabbing the token, there will be no worries? Of course not. Even if one party gets the token, they must quickly organize their own team to penetrate the opponent's defense.

.Since the combat strength of the city guards in each squad is about the same, in the case of three teams, it is really difficult for one side to break through the defenses of the other two.

As we all know, under the conditions of equal combat strength and number of people, the attacker will always lose more men. But it is almost impossible to fight one against two. I never knew what would happen if four teams fought in a martial arts competition.

If a team is caught in a one versus two situation, the smartest thing to do is to throw the tokens they grabbed to other teams, and then join forces with the other team to grab the tokens again. But the tokens are for promotion, there is no

The token cannot enter the next round. Few people are willing to hand over what they have grabbed. This is the time to test the wisdom of the leader. Sometimes, having the token in your hand is not necessarily a happy thing.

Is it okay to sit still and watch the other two teams fight? That's definitely not possible. Once there are only two teams fighting, the situation is clearer, and it will be easier for the person who gets the token to pass through the victory gate. Even if they are mixed together, the previous team sitting

It will take a while for the viewer to rush into the battle. Because there is no absolute advantage in strength, once you fall into it, it will give others an opportunity to take advantage of it.

All in all, a general's scheduling, troop formation, and choices are the keys to victory.

The area around the training ground was filled with dignitaries and young ladies in thick coats. Since carriages and horses were not allowed to enter the martial arts academy, these people had no other belongings except servants. There were no chairs or hot soup. However, the martial arts academy

Fighting is a rare event that happens every two years in Jiangning. Blatant group fights are rare (read the full text of Land God). And for those who have never been on the battlefield, the martial arts competition is the most anticipated

thing.

The weather was really cold, so these people had no choice but to wrap up their clothes tightly and stand there shivering.

Song Zheng heard that every year during the competition, the scholars would publish a book of poems to record the specific competition situations, followed by introductions of each martial arts scholar and their achievements. The largest book club in Jiangning - Rushan

The book company is responsible for printing, and the sales are actually pretty good. Those who don't have a red ticket can also imagine the scene of the competition through this collection of poems.

The martial arts competition written with literary techniques is naturally far from the real situation. Things like "blood flowing like a river", "blood flowing in the river" and even "tragic" all appeared.

Song Zheng once heard Xu Mingxuan say these things, and couldn't help but laugh. This also gave him an idea to make money. He asked Xu Mingxuan to find two people who were good at storytelling, and brought them into the field to watch the game, and then let them create creations

, written into a storybook, slightly modified by others, and then published. The storybook processed in this way will definitely be more popular than those so-called collections of poems.

In fact, Song Zheng just suggested it, but he didn't expect Xu Mingxuan to take it seriously. Just now, Song Zheng saw Xu Mingxuan and others among the crowd of onlookers. In addition to Ah Rong, Xu Mingxuan also brought two people in their fifties and sixties.

The old man is probably a storyteller.

Publish a few volumes of Wu Bi story books, these are just trivial matters, even if you make some money, it will not exceed three thousand taels. The biggest business is gambling. When drinking that day, Song Zheng asked Xu Mingxuan, Zhu Youzhan and Li Denian

Set up a gambling game outside and wait for twelve martial arts scholars

After the list came out, a gambling game was opened outside. Bet on the ownership of the martial arts champion order, and bet on whether someone could get the promotion order. With the relationship between the three people, this is not a difficult task. And the identities of the three people are there, in Jiangning's circle

Still very appealing.

As for the information of these twelve martial arts scholars, it is easy to say. The other thirty-two martial arts scholars and those martial arts have all moved out of the martial arts academy and are living in several inns. These martial arts scholars from all walks of life have moved out of the martial arts academy.

All of them are proud that they have given birth to Wu Jinshi in their own way. The identity information of these twelve people cannot be concealed even if they want to.

(Read the full text of Flower God). Moreover, this information is very detailed, including family background, height and appearance, weapons used, etc. It is almost more detailed than the official information. These martial arts have the most bets.

Who doesn’t want the Wu Jinshi on his/her path to advance? Who doesn’t want the Wu Jinshi on his/her path to get the Wu Zhuangyuan Order?

Of course, Song Zheng didn't know that the gambling game set up by Xu Mingxuan and three others had set off a huge craze in Jiangning City. Xu Mingxuan's economic acumen was not ordinary. Together with Zhu and Li, he contacted his friends and deceived a

A big circle. The most important thing is that he found the largest casino in Jiangning City-Hongyun Gambling

Casino, jointly vote. And attracted a group of friends and friends of friends and relatives to this casino. With the operation and hosting of Lucky Gambling House, this game quickly became the largest game in Jiangning, surpassing other large and small games.

The gambling games were all going on. The amount of bets in each game actually exceeded one million taels of silver.

If Song Zheng knew this news, he would definitely ask Ming'er to stake all the money he had, as well as Song Jue's salary. Unfortunately, these days he can only stay bored in the martial arts academy and cannot even go out.

Xu Mingxuan, Zhu and Li were Song Zheng's loyal supporters, and they all placed their bets on Song Zheng. Xu Mingxuan had great confidence in Song Zheng and raised a total of thirty thousand taels of silver. However, Song Zheng's odds of becoming a Jinshi

It's not the lowest. It's just one to six, that's it.

It is average. Because although he is the first martial arts scholar, Xu Mingxuan emphasized that he has outstanding literary talent and has read military books. As for martial arts, it is simply said that Song Zheng is good with swords and fists. This is naturally not as good as those famous generals after him.

Or a tall person.

The one with the lowest odds is Han Kui, 1 to 1.5. This is because Han Kui is from Jiangning, and more importantly, many senior officials know that Han Kui is a descendant of the commander Han Zhong. Han Zhong was a military god and his descendant

, how bad can it be?

————

Song Zheng ran the Chunyang secret formula for a while, and his whole body felt peaceful. At this moment, the assistant general moved his legs, immediately came under the wooden frame, and shouted loudly, "Start getting ready! After the tea, look at my signal

.As soon as the signal sounds, the competition begins!”

Because the wind was too strong, he shouted once to Song Zheng, Xu Xuecheng, and Gu Jinzhong from three directions of the wooden frame. Then he ran back to the table and took out a stick called "Chongtian Xiang" from under the table.

The fireworks are coming.
