Chapter 846: Inside and Outside the City
Jiang Qian stood on this high platform at this time, and then looked at the soldiers who were going to fight against him below, but Jiang Qian didn't know how he could let this battle start, and although Jiang Qian could guess that this chessboard array was the battle between the soldiers of the two sides, that is, it was equivalent to the battle on this chessboard, but Jiang Qian was still not sure what the rules were.
Jiang Qian saw that the enemy did not move, so he did not hurry, as the saying goes, if the enemy does not move, I will not move, and Jiang Qian is now implementing this policy.
However, there was a sundial behind Jiang Qian, and when the shadow on the sundial reached the middle scale, the enemy standing under the city began to blow the horn, and then the soldiers began to stir incessantly, as if they were about to attack.
Just when Jiang Qian was a little at a loss, at this time, a soldier ran up from downstairs, and then knelt down on one knee in front of Jiang Qian, and said: "General, noon has arrived, our army has already been ordered and assembled, now just wait for the general to give orders, we can go out of the city to fight." ”
Hearing this person say, Jiang Qian glanced up at the sun, and sure enough, the sun has now risen to the middle of the sky, Jiang Qian nodded, it seems that this match should be set at noon, so there was no reaction from this side after he came in just now.
Jiang Qian looked at the army that was about to move under the city wall, so he waved his hand and said, "Out of battle!"
When the soldier got Jiang Qian's response, he immediately shouted to the city: "The general has an order, go out into battle!"
After the soldiers finished shouting, Jiang Qian only heard the soldiers around him, as well as those soldiers waiting under the city, all shouting loudly, the morale was very high, Jiang Qian was happy in his heart, fortunately the atmosphere of the army itself was good, otherwise if he encountered a team with low morale, I am afraid it would be difficult to win.
Just after Jiang Qian's order went down, I saw that the gate of the city wall slowly opened, and a column of squares came out of the city gate, obviously the soldiers who had been arranged, Jiang Qian looked at the people on his side, and then looked at the people on the other side, the people on his side were wearing bright silver armor, and the other party was wearing jet-black armor, which represented the two kinds of chess pieces on this chessboard.
Jiang Qian looked at these two different colors of armor, and then muttered in a low voice: "The other party is black, and we are bright silver, that is, white, could it be that my side is the back hand?"
In the final analysis, Jiang Qian still doesn't understand the rules in this chessboard array, on this chessboard, you can confirm the order of chess through the black or white pieces, generally this black son goes first, and the first move, and the white piece that Jiang Qian represents now is the second hand, so on this battlefield, is it possible that his own side should also be in the same order as on this chessboard, let the opponent's soldiers attack first?
Jiang Qian thought that he was a little confused here, although this battlefield and the chessboard have something in common, but they are still different, it can be said that sometimes it is very advantageous to take the lead on the battlefield, if you fall into passivity, you will almost have to keep defending.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qian's eyes fell firmly on this battlefield, and then followed the dynamics of the army on his side and the dynamics of the opponent's army to analyze what would happen on his side.
However, after Jiang Qian's army walked out of the city gate, the army on the opposite side also began to walk towards Jiang Qian's side, but both sides stopped in the middle of the battlefield with tacit understanding.
Just when Jiang Qian was wondering, he saw that the horn was sounded again on the other side, and when Jiang Qian didn't know what this meant, the soldiers around Jiang Qian also sounded the horn one by one. At this time, Jiang Qian was confused, what does this horn represent, does it mean that the two sides are going to war?
However, Jiang Qian still thought wrongly, only to see that after the horn blew, three more people appeared from behind the other party, riding a high-headed horse, and the appearance of this costume was also different from other soldiers, at first glance, the identity was higher, and Jiang Qian's side also patted out of the city gate, very heroic, but Jiang Qian fixed his eyes and saw that there were only two people who came out of his side.
Jiang Qian immediately said to the soldiers beside him: "What's going on? Why are there only two generals on our side?" Jiang Qian asked while saying angrily, after all, this battle situation may be Jiang Qian's trial, if Jiang Qian loses, there will be no hope of resurrection.
Therefore, this battle situation is a battle game for these people, or a chess game, but for Jiang Qian, it is a fate game, so naturally it is not sloppy at all.
The soldier who was questioned by Jiang Qian immediately said in fear: "General, this ......" Saying that, the soldier stumbled and couldn't say why.
Jiang Qian looked very angry, and then pulled another soldier and asked, "You say, what's going on?"
When the soldier saw Jiang Qian like this, he immediately resignedly said: "General, yesterday Major General Zuo was poisoned at night for some reason, and now he is lying in the camp tent, the poison is not serious, but the military doctor said that at least he should take an antidote to recuperate for seven days, and our other major generals are also wounded, sick, and have been guarding the city for three months, and there are no reinforcements, this unit is the last elite, if you lose today......"
Speaking of this, the soldier suddenly choked up, and then touched a handful of tears very miserably, and then knelt in front of Jiang Qian and said: "General, if you lose today, this city will not be able to be defended, and this enemy army has a reputation for torturing and killing prisoners, if we can't hold this city at that time, it doesn't matter if our soldiers die, but there are countless ordinary people in this city, we can't let them also be the souls of this knife!"
The soldier knelt in front of Jiang Qian and said, Jiang Qian only regarded this as a game of chess and a trial, but this trial was also a test related to his own life, but now when Jiang Qian saw this soldier kneeling in front of him and said such words, Jiang Qian immediately felt bad in his heart.
Jiang Qian walked down from the high platform on the city tower, and then turned to look at the situation in the city, only to see that across this wall, outside the city was an army that looked energetic and ready to go, but when Jiang Qian saw the scene in the city, Jiang Qian knew what helplessness was, there were old and weak women and children inside the city wall, and there were a bunch of wounded soldiers, lifeless.
