my unparalleled way

Chapter 1359 Desperate

More than [-] contestants were divided into eight groups. After nine rounds of elimination and selection, only one person in each group could survive to the quarterfinals.

This kind of competition is not fierce. It can be said that besides the most important strength, it may also require a certain amount of luck.

If you encounter a super-strong opponent too early, or if you are not in a good state in a certain match, you may be eliminated directly in advance.However, few people are willing to give up, because the last eight contestants will be held in public on the Palace Square.

At that time, Emperor Bilan, Empress Dowager, civil and military officials, princes and dukes will watch in person.

Even the passing of the final competition will be transmitted from the phantom array to all the cities of Bilan.

In the past, where would such a battle between students involve so many big figures, and how could it be so grand?All this, perhaps should be 'thanks' to the special period of war.

This is not only an opportunity to rise to the top, but also a golden opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop. How many people can withstand this temptation?

If he can win the first place in this competition, he may become the next Yuan Hao.

If you want to ask who Yuan Hao is, [-]% of the people in the Bilan Empire four years ago probably have never heard of it, but now his name in the Bilan Empire is similar to Mi Yuanyun's to Shenyan.

Yuan Hao was born in a military family, and like Fu Bo, his father, uncles and elders were also generals in the Bilan Army.After graduating from the First Military Academy six years ago, he joined the Imperial Southwest Corps.

It has to be said that his background has brought him a lot of help.In less than three years, he was promoted all the way from Baiqichang to the fifth-rank General Anyuan who commanded thousands of people.

This kind of promotion speed is unimaginable for other people. After all, the Bilan Southwest Corps did not participate in any battles at all.Even if you have talent, how many opportunities do you have to show it?
However, the outbreak of the battle between Bilan and Chilou three years ago finally brought him the greatest opportunity to rise.

The initial advance speed of the Southwest Corps was not as ideal as that of the Southeast Corps. The Chilou people had already made sufficient preparations for the invasion of the Bilan people, and the battle at the beginning was actually not going well.

But at that time, the team of [-] people led by Yuan Hao performed exceptionally well, and repeatedly won big victories in local battlefields, which quickly attracted the attention of the Southwest Corps.

In the process of being promoted one after another, he used clever tricks to attack the Chilou people's rear several times, or combined light and darkness to trick the Chilou's main force into making wrong decisions, and finally tore the Chilou people's southwest defense line to pieces.

Because of his existence, the battle in the southwest theater quickly became extremely smooth.A year and a half later, Bi Lan's western battlefield has advanced tens of thousands of miles, becoming the most dazzling one among the three war zones.

At this time, Yuan Hao had been rapidly promoted from the fifth-rank General Anyuan to the second-rank General Zhennan.Although limited by his seniority, he is still not the highest leader even in the West Route Army, but many battle plans are completely made by him.

Up to now, he has been ranked seventh among the famous generals of Tianshu strategy.Some of the battles he fought have even been used as examples for teaching at the Military Academy, and his name has also been engraved on the famous "Wall of Famous Generals" by the First Military Academy.

He is the pride of Bilan people, and also the goal that students from major military academies strive for.

Before Yuan Hao graduated that year, he had won the first place in the competition.It's just that the competition at that time was not as grand as it is now.

Therefore, this biennial competition, in the minds of many students, is naturally endowed with another layer of more distant meaning-to win the first place in the duel like Yuan Hao, and to become an empire like Yuan Hao Famous generals, leave their names on Tianshu Ce.

Tang Yuanhua is one of the students with this kind of longing. He is now a third-year student in the Command Department of the First Military Academy, and he also hopes that he will become a world-renowned general in the future.

But on the other hand, he is also very clear that it is difficult for him to secure the top spot in the internal battles of the class, and the possibility of gaining something in this competition is relatively small.

Especially, after seeing another figure surrounded by the crowd and entering the command hall with him, he sighed helplessly in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Yao was also in his group.

Yuan Yao is Yuan Hao's younger brother, and he is the most eye-catching person in the First Military Academy now.This is not only because of his elder brother who is famous in the Bilan Empire, but also because of his own excellence.

As early as two years ago, Yuan Yao had won the No. 5 matchup in the previous competition, and at that time he was the only second-year student among the top eight.

On the campus of the First Military Academy, a topic that is often talked about by everyone is whether Yuan Yao can become a famous general like his brother Yuan Hao in the future.One family and two brothers, it is likely to become a legendary story in the future.

Those students who graduated two years ago have already graduated, and there are many people who are favored in this competition, but no one thinks that Yuan Yao can't stand out in the sixth group.In the eyes of many people, the rest of this group is just his foil, and he is even the most popular candidate for the first place.

Therefore, although there will be eight competitions in this hall at the same time, [-]% of the audience's eyes are focused on Yuan Yao alone.

Many girls even showed their love to the tall and handsome man loudly, while he waved frequently...

He looked less like a cadet than a lord patrolling his domain.

The hustle and bustle on the sidelines finally calmed down temporarily when more than a dozen teachers in charge of the arbitration competition took their seats.And it wasn't until this time that Tang Yuanhua finally collected his thoughts and looked at his opponent.

Due to the large number of people in the first two rounds of competition, it took a full month to complete the competition.At this time, everyone's opponents were completely randomly distributed. Tang Yuanhua's opponent in the first round was a second-year student from the Second Military.

It wasn't until three days ago that Tang Yuanhua knew his opponent's name——Lin San.

This is a name that is easy to make people laugh. In terms of unpleasantness, it is probably second only to Li Ergou Zhang Daniu, a nickname that is randomly chosen for the sake of childbearing.

Especially after the name is similar to that famous person in the mainland, it is easy to be used as a joke.

Of course, Tang Yuanhua would not regard Lin San and Lin Si as a formidable enemy just because Lin San and Lin Si were only one word apart.Before the game, he deliberately asked his friends in the Second Military Academy, but the result was no result.

If there is no result, it means that this person is not famous, and not famous often means that there is nothing special about him, so no one has heard of him.

The only thing he knew was that this man retired from the front line more than a year ago because of his leg injury.

It is often difficult for such students to keep up with the progress of the course.As for the ability to command battles, if he really had that kind of talent, wouldn't he be a soldier on the front line? He should have been a general long ago, wouldn't he?
So, this matchup is nothing to worry about.

Most of his attention was even focused on the other party's weird walking movements due to lameness.

The two stood facing each other, and after he took one last look at the plain face of his opponent, he focused on the battle in front of him.

The rules of this duel are very simple. Both sides lead 3 people, the arms are free to choose and match, and the terrain is random. In the end, whoever can completely annihilate the opponent, or occupy the opponent's base camp first, will be the winner.

The types of arms are roughly divided into three categories: horse stance and bow, but there are many nuanced divisions. For example, cavalry is divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry, and even heavy cavalry is divided into pikemen and heavy axemen.

When the light of the formation enveloped the two of them, they could no longer see the audience around them, nor could they see the opponents opposite them.

This is the function of the formation, because the formation, even if the opponent's soldiers are actually a foot away, they cannot be seen by one's own side unless they are within a certain distance.Because on the map, that zhang represents a distance of hundreds of miles.

Tang Yuanhua quickly selected his soldiers, regardless of whether cavalry, infantry or archers, he would not miss them, because any one was an indispensable part of war.

The only difference is the quantity between them.Although the light cavalry is fast, it is not beneficial to attack the fortress, and the bow and arrow cannot penetrate the protection of the heavy shield soldiers. Although the marching speed of the heavy infantry is not fast, their defensive capabilities are quite strong.

Before deciding on tactics, you first need to clarify your next thinking, whether to focus on offense and light defense, or to focus on defense and light offense, these are important conditions for determining the distribution of troops.

He finally chose [-] light cavalry, [-] archers and [-] heavy infantry.

With everything on the other side still unknown, he began to spread scouts around, and the light cavalry followed the scouts and spread out in all directions.

He wanted to fight a defensive battle and let the opponent attack his base camp. The light cavalry ambushing outside and the archer infantry staying in the camp would attack from inside and outside, and they would surely eat away at the opponent's strength little by little.And when the military strength of the two sides gradually became disparate, he could press on aggressively.

He didn't wait too long, and soon he was greeted with a fierce attack from the opponent.

It was a very fierce attack, because there were [-] Lancers in front of him.This opponent was too desperate to send out all the cavalry at once?

This kind of attack, either advance slowly, or wait in full force, but in any case, you can't let your arms get out of touch with each other, right?The opponent's attack had only just begun, which meant that the opponent's infantry and archers were probably still hundreds of miles away, or even in the base camp.

This person is too amateurish.

At the moment when the two sides met for the first time, Tang Yuanhua fell into a short-term disadvantage, because he really did not expect this opponent to be so bold.

So that when the opponent rushed to his base camp, the light cavalry he left outside had no time to outflank them in a short time.

His base camp was devastated, and the impact of the Lancers was extremely strong.Facing the opponent's wolf-like attack, his archers were crushed after only one round of volley, but fortunately he still had [-] heavy infantry.

For a while, the two sides launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat in front of the base camp.

In fact, one of the important reasons why it takes so long to compete in the battle game is that each battle takes a long time. Sometimes it is very common for a match to last for two hours.

In the first two quarters of an hour or even half an hour of the war, the two sides often sent scouts to each other to test each other while familiarizing themselves with the terrain. There were not many small-scale contacts, and sometimes they didn't even touch each other's figure.

A decisive battle scene like this one usually only appears at the last moment of the battle.But now the competition between Tang Yuanhua and Lin San started in less than half a quarter of an hour.
