Chapter 11 Personal Participation, Hulao Pass 【Along the way, the accumulated sorrow in your heart is like the fallen leaves in late autumn, piling up into a mountain, difficult to dissipate. 】 [When prosperity comes, the people suffer; when decline comes, the people suffer; this is the nature of the world. ] [Since you were little, cultivating the Tao has always been in your mind. For some reason, transcending this world has always been your ultimate goal since you were born.] [However, at this moment, an unprecedented emotion surged in your heart. There was a fire in your heart. You wanted to end this chaotic world and bring peace to the world.] [Outside Hulao Pass, some of the Beifeng Xuan Kingdom's cavalry are also causing trouble. ] [You ride on a horse, looking at this majestic fortress, revealing sadness. ] [Because of your identity as a Taoist priest and your origin as a disciple of the Three True Ones, the guards easily let you in. ] [You found that when they heard the name of the Three True Disciples, the guards stood in awe, as if the Three True Disciples had a high status in Hulao Pass.] [However, the morale inside Hulao Pass is extremely low. Compared with the 100,000 iron pagodas of Beifeng Xuan Country outside the pass, the defenders here seem so weak and powerless, and you can't help but feel an inexplicable worry in your heart]
[Inside Hulao Pass, Wang Yang's Daqing defenders still have 30,000 elite soldiers, and the remaining 20,000 or so are made up of righteous troops gathered from all directions, some of them from the countryside, and some from the rivers and lakes.] [You can find out where your father and brother are by asking around in the camp inside Hulao Pass.] [The Lu family army is well-known inside and outside Hulao Pass. ] [Although they only have more than 4,000 people, they have shown amazing fighting power in every battle and are ranked among the top among the rebels.] 【Lu Yu is famous for breaking through the siege on his own many times on the battlefield, and he is also a famous person at Hulao Pass. 】 [After you reveal your identity, you are respectfully led into the Lu family army's camp.] [You, father, son and brother, met in the military tent. His father, Lu Jiaxuan, excitedly shook your hand and said, "My eldest son, you shouldn't have come."] [You said firmly: "My father is in danger, how dare I not come?"] [Looking at his father's gray-haired figure, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Lu Yu was also beside him, choking with sobs. ] [Your father looked at you two brothers and said, "With sons like you, what else could a father ask for?"] [However, when talking about the current situation, a trace of worry appeared on his face. He told you that the army of Beifeng Xuan Country is ready to go, and it will only take half a month to launch a siege.] [If you insist, the only outcome will be the destruction of the city and the death of people. ] [You observed your father's expression, and your heart sank. You understood that your father had made up his mind to die, and was ready to live and die with Hulao Pass.] [Lu Yu lived up to his optimism before going down the mountain. He was no longer as erratic as before and was more calm.] [Lu Yu tells you that the Beifeng Xuan Kingdom has a strong military force, which is far beyond the reach of Daqing.] [There are heavy armored soldiers and light cavalry, especially the Iron Pagoda, which is indestructible and makes the Daqing troops daunted. ] [Their soldiers are also fearless and can often defeat ten enemies at once.] [In Daqing, the imperial army was in low morale and timid, while the rebel army was like a pile of loose sand and lacked systematic training. Its combat effectiveness was indeed worrying.] [Before you arrived, Lu Yu had argued with his father many times. Lu Yu was unwilling to sit back and wait for death, and advocated a surprise victory to turn the tide. ]
[However, your father has been through many battles and knows the bravery and fighting skills of the nomadic people of the northern Xuan Kingdom. In the past battles, he lost more than he won. He firmly believes that only by holding on to the position can we win a glimmer of hope for the refugees heading south. Lu Yu's disputes with his father have long become commonplace.] [At this moment, you step into this place, and your father and brother are looking at you, hoping that you can make a decision. ] [You quietly walked to the map of Hulao Pass, examining the winding lines of defense with a sharp gaze, and you already had a plan in mind.] So, you decided... 1. Participate in person, understand the situation, and make wise decisions. (0/3) 2. Follow your father’s advice and choose to stick to it. 3. Fight side by side with Lu Yu and jointly fight against powerful enemies. Yu Ke couldn't help but ponder as he looked at the options. He was not sure about the last two options. Surprise attack or defensive defense? Both have their pros and cons. The Lu family army has only 4,000 soldiers and cannot withstand such a torment. If you lose these 4,000 people, you will not be able to play any role in this war. It will also make your decision to go down the mountain this time become empty talk. Yu Ke hesitated for a while. Decided to participate in person, after all, I have never tried it. Try it and you won’t be a “child” anymore. Option 1: Get involved in person and understand the situation. Following Yu Ke’s choice. [Kunxu Ding] at this moment seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, shaking violently, the patterns on it shining brightly, and emitting a chaotic aura. An invisible shadow of a tripod, like a deep whirlpool, quietly expanded and slowly drew Yu Ke in. Yu Ke suddenly felt as if he had stepped into a chaotic void. The space around him was spinning wildly, the stars were moving, and the world was turned upside down. The indescribable feeling of dizziness made him uneasy, and the world before his eyes became chaotic. A huge black vertical eye suddenly appeared and stared at him, making him sweat profusely. The illusory [Kunxu Ding] shook again. The vertical eye disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed. Facing this vortex of chaos, Yu Ke gritted his teeth and gathered his will. Just a moment later, Yu Ke opened his eyes again. He has discovered it! Being in a solemn and dignified military tent. "Brother, what's wrong with you?" A somewhat anxious voice woke him up. Yu Ke slowly woke up, his eyes gradually focused on the young man beside him.
Looking at the young man next to him, he was wearing a Taoist knot and some "battle-damaged" armor, but it couldn't hide the heroic spirit hidden in him. A young man with red lips, white teeth, and clear eyebrows looks heroic. Yu Ke understood it clearly. "This must be Lu Yu, Lu Chen's younger brother." The heroic spirit is overwhelming. No wonder so many of the Three True Disciples in the simulation admire him. At this time, Lu Yu was gently pushing his shoulder with his hand, with worry in his eyes. Just now Lu Chen suddenly fainted and took a few steps back before he could stand firm. Lu Yu thought that it was because his brother had just come down from the mountains and was not used to the climate there. After all, there were many diseases and epidemics in the military camp, affecting both refugees and soldiers. Next to him, a middle-aged man with white hair also hurried over. He walked steadily, looked energetic, and his eyes revealed competence and courage. His eyes were full of concern for Yu Ke. "Son, are you okay?" the man asked. After a moment of recollection, Yu Ke recognized that this was Lu Chen's father. Although he was less than fifty years old, he had a head full of white hair. He shook his head slightly and responded, "I'm fine." Yu Ke's eyes swept around the military tent. The torches had not yet burned out, and the faint flames flickered in the moonlight, illuminating a large wooden table and the weapons flashing coldly beside it. He walked up to one of the weapons, gently grasped it, and felt the cold touch through his palm. "This is the feeling of personal participation. It is really like a dream." Yu Ke sighed in his heart. The magic of [Kunxu Ding] is even more magical than he had imagined. This gives you a stronger sense of immersion than any "game". (End of this chapter)
