Chapter 26: The First Confrontation with Players
[Congratulations, your level has reached 20, but you have not yet changed your job and cannot continue to upgrade]
The system was as aloof as ever, and at the same time brought Guo Hao some bad news.
Originally, during the ten days in Youzhou, Guo Hao's level had soared like a rocket, from level 10 to level 20. The increase of ten points in free attributes made Guo Hao smile from ear to ear.
But this sudden job change issue really caught Guo Hao off guard, as he had never heard of such a thing as job change.
Guo Hao set up camp and rested in a place. A scout reported that a group of people were coming straight towards him in the distance.
"Who is this person? Have you found out?"
Guo Hao quickly assembled his team and asked the scouts for detailed information.
"I don't know who is leading the army, but they all wear yellow scarves, and one of them looks very powerful."
Guo Hao signaled the troops to be on alert, silently waiting for the enemy to attack.
Soon the Yellow Turban troops discovered by the scouts rushed up, but stopped not far away, and a small group of people approached.
The leader was actually a player wearing armor and a yellow turban.
"Who is coming?"
"Yellow Turban Li Cai Li Feibai!" The Yellow Turban player bowed and saluted, not caring that he was within the attack range of the archers. Guo Hao's order was enough to turn him into a hedgehog.
"What brings you here, sir?" Guo Hao signaled his men to put down their weapons. Since the other party wanted to talk, they might as well talk first.
At the same time, a message sent by Li Cai caught Guo Hao's attention.
It is a special communication between players. To people other than players, it sounds like a normal conversation, but it can only be enabled when they are face to face.
After the army was launched, all communication methods were locked, and the only way to communicate was to use the traditional method of carrier pigeons. Unfortunately, the army had set up camp, so how could any player secretly send a letter? Any player who dared to do so was killed.
It was precisely because of this that Li Caicai came here specifically to inquire about the news.
"Brother, you must be Beiliang Guo Pengju, right?"
"What's the matter?"
"Brother, let's discuss something. Tell me where Dong Zhuo came from, and I will give you a huge credit." Li Cai took off his helmet and stared at Guo Hao.
"What contribution?" A hint of surprise flashed across Guo Hao's face.
"How about the heads of Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao? They are third-rate generals. Killing them both will be enough for you to be promoted to the top ten in the ranking list." Li Cai was very confident that Guo Hao would agree to his conditions, and he was confident in the chips he put up.
"Haha, I know the news, but how can I believe you?" Guo Hao shrugged and did not refuse Li Cai's conditions. After all, it was just the direction from which Dong Zhuo came, which was not a secret.
"That depends on whether you want the credit, brother! Believe it or not, freedom is up to you." Li Cai looked like he had everything under control, which made Guo Hao feel a little nauseous, but the conditions were indeed good.
Guo Hao did not consider the danger of Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao at all. They were just two third-rate generals, not Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Even if they brought troops with them, it would only be a matter of time.
What's more, Hua Xiong is by his side, so he can easily kill a third-rate player with one sword .
Guo Hao thought about it and sent a message saying, "Dong Zhuo came from the grassland."
He was not worried that Li Cai would not admit his mistake. Killing Li Cai and his troops would also be a credit.
"Grassland?" Li Cai was very surprised. Wasn't grassland the territory of the Huns? He said that so many troops were deployed along the way to delay Dong Zhuo, so how could Dong Zhuo enter Youzhou today?
Li Cai was very troubled. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the players under their command were already enough of a headache. He did not expect Dong Zhuo to also get involved. Dong Zhuo had many soldiers and generals, and was not as easy to deal with as Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"They are in a small town thirty miles to the east, with no more than a thousand soldiers stationed there." Li Cai had no intention of going back on his word. The two disobedient extras would be dead if they could be exchanged for some intelligence. Their last value was already their last.
He got angry when he mentioned the two supporting generals. If the two guys hadn't disobeyed orders, how could they have let Liu, Guan and Zhang escape, resulting in Liu Yu being rescued and Youzhou being unable to be conquered for a long time.
His plan is firmly stuck on Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. As the founders of the Kingdom of Shu, some players are willing to bet on Liu Bei.
"Are you the leader of the Yellow Turbans?" Guo Hao asked with narrowed eyes. He was reluctant to let this guy go. This arrogant attitude was really annoying.
"Haha, you want to kill me? Come and try." As soon as Li Cai finished speaking, dozens of arrows stabbed Li Cai to death.
"Dead?" Guo Hao couldn't believe it. How could such a mysterious guy die so quickly?
Guo Hao didn't think much about it and asked his men to get rid of the Yellow Turban troops in the distance. However, he didn't expect that after a rain of arrows, this group of Yellow Turbans were defeated and scattered.
They all looked like elite troops, but I didn't expect they were just for show.
He waved his hand weakly and asked his men to clean up the mess. He was in a dilemma as to whether he should go to the place Li Cai mentioned.
On the other side, Li Cai was resurrected in the tent.
“Wow, they act really fast. The feeling of death is really bad!” Li Cai rubbed his head helplessly and was full of criticism about the death mechanism of the game.
For players, the penalty for death has been reduced. Even if it is a bit painful, death is death, and it doesn’t matter at all.
Li Cai then thought of the message he had given to Guo Hao. According to his guess, Guo Hao would not be able to resist the temptation and go to check it out. The temptation was so huge that anyone would jump in.
Even the most cautious person would try to take a look.
He had prepared a big surprise there, and had already tricked many Youzhou players into death.
With a confident smile, Li Cai stood up and walked towards the Yellow Turban tent. Dong Zhuo came too quickly and he had to do something.
…
Guo Hao looked at Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao in front of him, then looked at the one thousand garrison troops behind them, and a thousand crows flew through his heart.
Li Cai did not lie to him. There were indeed only a thousand garrison troops , or even less than a thousand.
But those were a thousand Yellow Turban warriors, a thousand opponents who were a level higher than the archers and cavalry.
When Guo Hao realized the crisis, it was too late. Just as Li Cai had imagined, the Yellow Turban Warriors, as the royal guards, led by two generals, were even faster than the archers.
Guo Hao was surrounded tightly in the center, and the encirclement was even shrinking.
The archers' counterattack was fierce, but most of the arrows were bounced off the Yellow Turban warriors. Only a few arrows hit their vital points and were able to take down a few of them.
Even Guo Hao's Xuanbing Slash could not cause too many casualties.
Looking at the thousand Yellow Turban warriors who were invulnerable to swords and spears and had extremely firm wills in front of him, Guo Hao sighed and asked Hua Xiong beside him for help.
"General Hua, I'll have to trouble you."
"Hahaha, Pengju, you don't have to be polite. Mr. Dong asked me to follow your orders, so I will naturally do my best." Hua Xiong patted Guo Hao.
