Chapter 372: Wargames
Playing chess has been playing chess on the Shanhai Continent for a long time.
But there is only one kind of chess that can be connected with the art of war.
Hearing Ji Jiashu's words, the memory in Ying Baoyue's mind recovered, and he instantly understood what kind of chess he was.
She looked at Ji Jiashu and asked, "What do you want to compare...... Is it wargaming? ”
Ji Jiashu nodded, his expression extremely complicated.
Ying Baoyue was also slightly stunned.
Wargames.
Although it has such a special name, in fact, this so-called wargame is essentially Go.
More specifically, it is a game of Go that has been modified specifically for practitioners.
The association between Go and war is actually a tradition of my previous dynasty.
In the reality of the frequent wars in the previous dynasties, practitioners have long associated the game of chess with war. Under the improvement of Emperor Taizu of this dynasty, the more complex practitioner Go was born, and the battle of Go has since become one of the important tools for cultivating the talents of soldiers.
"A cursory look at Go, the law is based on the use of soldiers, and the three-foot game is a battle field."
Ma Rong, a doctor in the former dynasty, wrote about the chessboard as a battlefield and chess as a game scene in which soldiers were used to fight.
The chess field is like a battlefield.
"Chen Jushi is a pawn, the two enemies are equal, the clumsy one is useless, and the weak one dies first."
Many of the generals who left their names in the previous dynasties were the best in the two major battlefields such as the field and the chessboard at the same time.
But in the eyes of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Ying, such a game of Go is just a game played by ordinary people.
Ying Baoyue took a deep breath.
The rules handed down from the previous dynasty are very similar to the rules of modern Go, and the most important chessboard is the nineteen chessboards that Ying Baoyue had seen in her previous life.
Before the previous dynasty, the Go board used seventeen chessboards, "seventeen vertical and horizontal, three hundred and ninety-one in total, and one hundred and fifty white and black chess pieces." ”
And by the time of the previous dynasty, the chessboard increased to nineteen, "three hundred and sixty-one, imitating the degree of the week." ”
That is, the lines on the chessboard are nineteen horizontally and vertically, and the nineteen line segments in the vertical and horizontal directions divide the chessboard into 361 intersections, and the chess pieces increase to 180 pieces on each side of black and white.
This is also the game of Go that ordinary people play today.
The so-called wargame is a further enhanced version of the nineteen-way game of Go.
After the fall of the previous dynasty and the establishment of the Qin Empire, under the birth of Emperor Taizu's cultivation system, a large number of practitioners began to appear.
It was such a military general, who looked at the nineteen chessboards of the present day when he was playing chess, and thought that such a chessboard was not suitable for cultivators.
Under the support of Zhenyuan, the cultivator's mental and physical strength are far superior to ordinary people, under such conditions, Emperor Ying felt that it was too pity to use the nineteen chessboards, and he also thought that the current chessboard was too much, and it could not put up any large military formations, which could not satisfy him, the founding emperor of Rongma's life.
Therefore, for these reasons, Emperor Taizu designed a wargame, increasing the original nineteen-way Go chessboard to twenty-nine, with 841 intersections and 420 black and white chess pieces on each side.
It's a terrible thing.
On a Go board where the total number of intersections of each additional board line rises exponentially, adding ten lanes in one go is not as simple as adding a few lines.
With just three hundred and sixty-one intersections, Go can spawn countless variations, and when added to eight hundred and forty-one, there are simply as many points on the entire board as many as stars.
The chessboard added in this way was really big like a sand table for marching, and she was shocked when she saw it for the first time.
With such a huge chessboard and terrifying changes in formation, only cultivators can withstand it.
Such a chessboard had one in the former Qin Imperial Prayer Province of Afang Palace, but she rarely used it because she had no evenly matched opponents.
Of course, it's not because her realm is too high, everything is the opposite, it's because her realm is too low.
That chessboard belonged to her master, Dasi Ming Lin Shubai, and the man who created this crazy game, Emperor Taizu Emperor Yingdi.
Before she was eighteen years old, neither her realm nor her ability to march and arrange formations could be compared to these two.
The dragon and phoenix among people are by no means a bad name.
Every time she saw Master and Emperor Ying playing against each other in Afang Palace, she felt like she had seen a real war. It's just that watching the battle can make people breathless, although she can't get down, but she is indeed the only one in the Afang Palace who has the ability to watch the battle at that time.
If an ordinary cultivator sees it, even if he just looks from the sidelines, he will not be able to survive the final game, and he will exhaust the true element.
That's right, depleting the true element.
Ying Baoyue raised her head and looked at Helan Chang, who was staring directly at her opposite
Although Emperor Ying and her master were good at playing games back then, they didn't play often in Afang Palace.
Without him, it's just that playing a close battle on such a board is too time-consuming.
Ordinary nineteen-way chessboard Go can be played for three or three nights when it is long, not to mention the twenty-nine Go now. Although Emperor Yingdi has a rule that each person has a long test time of two hours, and if he exceeds it, he must play a rapid move of 30 seconds, but when he encounters an evenly matched opponent, he can still play several times.
As a busy Emperor of Great Qin and the National Master of Great Qin, he naturally did not have that time very often.
And it is such an endless battle, which makes wargames become an ability that not only requires marching and arrangement, but also needs to compete for the true element.
Only a cultivator's true element could support such a long and highly exhausting battle, and at the same time, a cultivator with a weak true element would naturally lose in such a competition.
Only wargame is a duel that cannot be challenged beyond the ranks.
Looking at Helan Cheng's eyes staring at her quietly, Ying Baoyue knew what he was thinking.
Practicing together, the realm is the top.
If it was in an ordinary actual battle, she could still make up for the lack of realm with her combat experience many times higher than that of ordinary people, but in a battle like wargame, where she sat in front of the chessboard and competed for endurance, a low-level cultivator had an overwhelming disadvantage.
It's better to face low-level cultivators, there is no need for any tactics at all, as long as you choose to defend with all your strength in the prelude and blindly drag out the chess game.
After a long time, it can naturally drag down and even consume the other party.
Aside from the previous rules, there is no total time limit for wargames.
It's been a long marathon.
If she didn't release the water at the seventh level, it would be impossible for her to win against the cultivators at the sixth level.
And if she insists on not admitting defeat and staying in front of the chessboard and not coming down, she will indeed be consumed in front of the chessboard.
"Do you know that in the next second round, if you don't know your opponent, you may even die on the board?" Helan Cheng did this to her before.
"So......" Ying Baoyue looked at Helan Cheng and asked, "What you just said is that in the second round of the next individual battle, the Northern Cold Pavilion will design for you to fight against me." And if I accept your surrender, you will choose to release water on me in the chess game, does that mean? ”
Helan Cheng stiffened for a moment when he heard this, but then nodded his head.
She understood it quickly enough that she even poked out all the things he didn't come out.
Although he was an abandoned son of the Northern Han Pavilion, the realm of Shan Lun was indeed the highest among all the disciples that Xu Bingqing brought out this time.
He is the one who will kill her in front of the chessboard.
With the means of the North Han Pavilion, whether it is manipulating the game or manipulating the lottery, it is inevitable that there will be a battle between him and her.
"When that time comes......" He Lancheng looked at Ying Baoyue and was about to speak, but he saw that the girl in front of him was also looking at him quietly, and there was an emotion in his eyes that was as quiet as a lake.
"Anyway, thank you for thinking of this step, it's just ......" Ying Baoyue looked at him and smiled, "I think when the time comes, the Northern Han Pavilion will be sent out to be my opponent, I'm afraid it won't be you." ”
