Staring blankly at his own death screen, Huang Ping began to recall what had just happened.
"I bravely charged at three Tubo cavalry with my leather shield in front of me," I conjectured that these low-level NPCs should have been knocked away by my shield bash, then I could've taken the opportunity to finish them off with my blade.
But the result was... I got instantly killed?
Those cavalrymen all had big beards, but they were definitely all young men, because they had no sense of martial virtue!
Disbelieving, Huang Ping restarted the game from the save point.
This time, he chose to move stealthily, waiting for the chance to launch a surprise attack. His spear successfully pierced a cavalryman in the waist, assisted by the game's auto-aim.
He wanted to press his advantage, but the other two cavalry charged over, their curved swords turned into divine weapons by the speed of their steeds, severly decapitating him.
"Defeat".
