"Oh? So my mission goal as an assassin is to assassinate Wanyan Sheng?

"That's right, it's reasonable."

After hearing the plans of these green forest people, Li Hongyun instantly realized that this seemed to be his mission goal!

What is the mission of the Assassin Trial? Kill the Emperor!

So this time another assassin appears, isn't it obvious what the main target should be?

In fact, since the launch of the "Dark Sands" server, the position of assassin players has been somewhat awkward.

Martial arts players can make great achievements on the battlefield, and one horse can equal a thousand;

Scribes players can make impassioned speeches in the court;

Ranger players, although their presence is slightly weaker, can harass, make detours, and lure enemies in small-scale battles. In short, there are no particularly large and famous scenes, but there are still many small scenes.

Assassin players alone are in a somewhat awkward position.

This is not to say that assassin players are completely useless. After all, their combat capabilities are not weak, especially in street fighting when defending the city, they can play a very important role.

Previously, Xia Ruoling had played an important role in the defense of the two dungeons "The matter must be closed before the coffin is closed" and "The title of prince is not my intention".

Moreover, after assassin players complete the upgrade trial, their talents and skills also give them certain positive combat effects.

But many Assassin players are still a little upset.

Because in their opinion, the professional characteristics of this profession do not seem to be fully utilized!

After clearing the trial dungeon of Assassinating Emperor Yan Ling, many players who obtained the identity of an assassin have the illusion that they are now very powerful, and assassinating an emperor is as easy as holding one's finger in hand.

Some players even think that maybe while other players are trying their best to pass the level, if they just assassinate the final boss, won't the dungeon be self-defeating?

What a perfect career for skipping classes!

But when they actually entered the formal trial illusion, they realized that this was not the case.

Not to mention assassinating the real emperor, it is even more difficult to assassinate some key figures in the dungeon.

For example, in the previous copy of Sheng Taizu, when he was playing the role of "Commander", he had a decisive battle with the Northern Barbarian cavalry in the Woodlands Tulas Mountain. At that time, could an assassin player rush into the tens of thousands of troops and directly assassinate the Northern Barbarian generals?

?

That's simply impossible!

Therefore, many assassin players feel a little frustrated. It's not that they play a small role in the dungeon, but that there seems to be some gap with the positioning of this profession.

Many players have also complained about this online.

Again, no official reply has been given.

However, the game "Dark Sand" has been in operation for such a long time, and everyone has become accustomed to the tone of the game. Players have learned to answer their own questions.

So many players figured out the answer on their own.

"Maybe it's because the closer you get to the later dynasties, the tighter the guards around the truly high-ranking officials and commanders, and the harder it is to assassinate them, right?"

"It makes sense. In fact, looking at historical records, those assassins were famous before the Great Chu Dynasty. Especially before the Great Yan Dynasty, rangers and assassins were very active. But later, only the 'Ranger Spirit' and '

Assassin's spirit'."

"This is because after two consecutive unified dynasties, in order to maintain their rule, they severely cracked down on local powerful forces. There are very few people who keep retainers, and naturally there are fewer rangers and assassins."

"Later dynasties also attached great importance to this, so as time went by, there were fewer and fewer famous assassins, and they have basically disappeared."

"But does this mean that assassin is actually a late-stage profession? Maybe when we get to the dungeon of Da Chu or Da Yan, assassin can play a decisive role in it?"

In short, after some analysis, the players finally reluctantly gave themselves an acceptable answer, which temporarily appeased the anger of the assassin players.

As for Li Hongyun, he is not as entangled as other assassin players.

After all, he is not a serious assassin.

However, he was quite excited when he saw that the assassin seemed to have his own mission target.

"Assassinating Wan Yansheng, well, just thinking about it makes people's blood boil!

"So, what should I do?

"First make a simple plan: the first step is to stay and hide, and try to survive before the first round of Jin soldiers attack; the second step is to wait for Wan Yansheng, the supreme commander of the Jin soldiers, to appear in my sight

In the third step, shoot him to death with one arrow.

"Well, a very complete plan!"

Compared with other assassins, Li Hongyun's biggest advantage is that he can use bows, arrows, muskets, and long-range snipers to kill targets.

Don't modern assassins all use guns? As long as the target person is killed, it is considered an assassination, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Once you have a goal, the next thing will fall into place.

Li Hongyun inspected Cenqiao Station and found several suitable hiding places, thinking that once the Jin soldiers broke through the city, they would hide in these places.

Several of them are in high places, such as the roofs of various buildings.

After all, simply hiding is not enough. He must always pay attention to the surrounding situation, see Wanyan Sheng as soon as he enters the city, and find a way to get close and shoot him.

As for what happens next, he is prepared to adapt to circumstances.

In short, in Li Hongyun's view, everything is almost ready, just waiting for the war to begin.

…

The sky was filled with wind and flying clouds, and the time of the entire trial illusion passed quickly.

The city gate of Cenqiaoyi has long been closed, and the Qi army defenders on the city are looking into the distance nervously and uneasily.

In recent days, a large number of refugees have fled south and arrived around Cenqiaoyi. In the early days, the city gate of Cenqiaoyi was not completely closed, and some refugees were also absorbed.

Naturally, the defenders at Cenqiaoyi also asked about the situation of the Jin people, but these refugees knew nothing about it.

Because they all ran over after hearing the news about the Jin's move south, and had never seen the Jin's face at all.

This is normal when you think about it. It is unlikely that refugees can travel faster than the army. What's more, if they really see the Jin people, the probability of being killed or robbed is far greater than the probability of them escaping.

In this panic, the Jin people were portrayed as demons that knocked bones and sucked marrow, and people in the city were panicked.

Naturally, many people feel that this seems to be a bit exaggerated. Jin people are also human beings, how can they knock their bones and suck out their marrow?

However, the people in Cenqiao Station soon met those "refugees who had seen the Jin people" and understood that the description of these demonized Jin people was not an exaggeration, but a ruthless prediction of the facts.

Finally, a soldier on the wall of Cenqiaoyi saw a touch of gray appear on the horizon in the distance.

At first people didn't know what it was, but soon, these grays gradually became clear in their vision.

There were many refugees who were half-clothed, covered in mud and dust, and tied together with ropes!

Behind these refugees are golden soldiers holding whips and sharp knives.

The cavalry on both wings patrolled back and forth. If any individual refugee tried to escape, he would be immediately overtaken and killed.

Under such driving, many refugees could only show confused expressions on their faces. They had no sense of pain and no souls. They could only walk towards the city wall in front of them, driven by whips and pulled by ropes.

Sometimes, a wounded and hungry refugee would lie in a pit on the roadside, but others would move forward without realizing it, dragging his body along the ground until it was unrecognizable.

The closer we get to the city wall, the more realistic this scene becomes.

Even when these refugees reached the bottom of the city wall and were whipped by the Jin men's whips, and the screams made when they were stabbed to death with sharp knives pierced everyone's eardrums, many of the soldiers on the city froze completely.

Either they lost the courage to fight after seeing this tragic scene, or their minds went blank for a while and they didn't know how to deal with these refugees.

These defenders had bows and arrows and rolling logs in their hands, but if they were thrown down at this time, they would only kill Qi Chao's own people.

These refugees may have been farmers who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset in a small village around Cenqiaoyi a few days ago, or they were women weaving and making clothes at home. But now, they are all captured by Jin Bing.

Driven away, they turned into sandbags for siege.

And there are many more refugees who have already been killed in the first wave of Jin people's swords moving south, or died after being wantonly tortured with various unimaginable cruel methods.

The only remaining "survivors" were connected by ropes and driven south.

The defenders of Cenqiaoyi were not elite in the first place. Perhaps some soldiers reacted and attacked mercilessly, but after all, there were still some loopholes in the entire town's defense line.

The Jin people were obviously prepared for this.

As soon as the refugees were driven to the city, the Jin soldiers had already started trying to board the city!

They set up ladders or threw hooks one after another, and began to climb up desperately.

The Jin people's siege ability is not very strong. During the entire process of the Jingping Incident, they never really broke through the capital. As for the strong city of Taiyuan that the West Route Army attacked, it took nearly a year to attack.

It was only captured because the city ran out of food and no foreign aid arrived.

Therefore, every time they attacked a city, the Jin people would always set up camp outside the city and build siege equipment before launching a fierce attack.

But the shortcomings of this siege capability mainly lie in the equipment.

It's not about the will to fight.

The Jin people at this time were all the elites of the founding of the country, and every soldier was killed from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Their fighting will and fighting skills have reached an incredible level. They are definitely not comparable to the golden soldiers who have been pampered for decades and whose combat effectiveness has declined in their eyes.

And this characteristic was fully displayed when attacking a small town like Cenqiaoyi.
