Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

I look at everything in front of me, but I can't see the dawn of victory, at present we know that there are a total of four organs in Yiling Pass, which correspond to the four heirloom blades of qinqi, calligraphy and painting: the moving city wall, just like the "ghost dragon shield" of Shuqinyu, the huge sword, just like Mo Qifeng's "Tiange Sword", the wide sail, just like Fang Shuran's "Tianjing Fan", the last remaining mechanism, we have never really seen, the water of the city, completely unknown as the response, like the unknown everything, people can't see the direction. The only thing you can do is give it a go. The odds are so slim that there is almost no hope.

"Cheng Yin, there is an obvious difference between our army and Yiling Pass, if the enemy activates the last mechanism at this time, then our army will have no way to retreat, and it will inevitably be wiped out, what should I do?" Lin Yun asked anxiously.

But I don't have an answer in my heart, like a game of chess that has been decided, no matter how hard I try, it is impossible to change, although I am not reconciled at this time, I must win this battle, but the reality in front of me is so cruel, it seems that I have no room to win. As long as the enemy general gives an order, the victory or defeat can be decided in an instant.

Why do I have such a hard time making a decision every time? This can't help but remind me of Mr. Zhuge Kongming's "Departure Table": "When I was ordered to defeat the army, I was ordered to be in danger, and I came for twenty and one year." "I think that Zhuge Kongming was also ordered to be in danger when the Shu army was in danger, and he was ordered by the virtue of the first emperor, and he sighed all night, so that the division of Sichuan Jia, six out of Qishan, nine out of the Central Plains." Now I can feel some of it, but I am far from Zhuge Liang. At this time, my life was at stake, and the lives of all the soldiers of the army were in my thoughts, but I didn't know what to do. If the flood hits at this time, what decision should I make to stop this?

My head hurts, but this headache is so familiar, it seems to take me out of this plane.

"Focus, kid, don't be distracted while playing chess!"

The voice was repeated again and again in my head.

When I opened my eyes, it was the same table-style chessboard again.

The gears of fate turned again, as if returning to the starting point, gazing into the future. I know very well that this chess game is so important to me, and any detail will determine the victory or defeat of this Yiling Pass battlefield, as well as the lives of tens of thousands of Shu soldiers and everyone who participated in the strange array, the fate of all of us is linked. Everyone is so important that they must not be easily discarded, just like these chess pieces on the chessboard in front of me, which seem to be scattered around the chessboard, but they have the same goal, which is to win the final victory of this chess game.

The middle-aged man quickly picked up a sunspot and blocked it in the middle of the chessboard with lightning speed. This move seems to undertake the black chess offensive of the next chess game, but it also has the intention of annexing the enemy army, such a step of succession and turn, with a hint of elegance in caution, but the chess pieces in the young man's hand did not make him wish. The chess pieces are connected in parallel to the middle, like a raptor blocking the attack of the black disc in the next game, and the black chess piece riding a single horse is difficult to resist this broad dragon.

I looked at the chess game in front of me, and it seemed that the middle-aged man's black chess was at the end of the road, and the white chess only had to follow the trend, and the black chess pieces would be wiped out and the whole game would be lost. But the middle-aged man in front of him was still as calm as ever, and with a few hands in succession, he placed the chess pieces on the left and right of the enemy dragon.

In an instant, the situation reversed, and the dragon that had previously blocked the attack of black chess became the path of black chess's counterattack, which seemed to be the end of the road, but it was a desperate situation to survive, and instantly opened the way to attack the enemy.

I was shocked by the game in front of me, and just when I thought there was no chance of winning, black found a way to win. I had a flash of inspiration, and on the contrary, the enemy's most powerful tactics could also become a shortcut to the success of our army, and I could not help but be ecstatic in my heart, and the originally dim road in front of me was suddenly brightly lit.

"Good." The man began to sort out the chessboard, "Although I was a little anxious at the beginning, I was very good at this hand, and then I played more and more calmly. ”

I watched him move the pieces quickly.

"Sure enough, three-and-a-half, you won. By the way, how many games have you won since you learned? ”

I didn't speak.

"Remember children, life is like chess, and strategizing can win a thousand miles!"

My head suddenly started to hurt again, and I knew I was going to get out of here and go back to my battlefield, but the only difference was that I was confident.

"Cheng Yin, are you alright?" Lin Yun's shout came from his ears. I opened my eyes slightly, and the familiar scene appeared in front of me again, Yiling Pass, the city wall that had blocked me for many days, was finally about to collapse at this moment.

"I'm fine, it looks like it's time for us to attack too." My tone was heavy and resolute, like a sword that had been sharpened for years, and all it needed was a hearty victory.

On the walls of the enemy, the laughter of the "mysterious man" is still endless, he is like a power grabber standing on a throne and laughing loudly, but everyone knows that this throne has never belonged to him and will never belong to him. All I have to do now is to take my three-foot sword in my hand and rush up the wall and drive him down from his high throne.

At this moment, Lu Xun on the city wall of Yiling waved his feather fan three times, and suddenly the drum shook the sky, as if to celebrate the victory they were about to get, but the victory of this battle did not belong to them, but to us.

"Cheng Yin, look!"

I looked at the walls of Yiling Pass, and I saw that Yiling Pass suddenly moved at this time. From the cracks in the walls of Yiling Pass, a huge splash of water gushed out, and the water was very rapid, surging towards our army. It seems that the enemy has used their last resort, and they have pinned their final victory on the raging waters.

I looked up to the sky and smiled, and the dawn of victory also shone on us.

"Cheng Yin, the water has reached our ankles, and at the speed of this current, there are about two hours left to drown us all!" Professor Wu shouted at me.

Two hours of time? It seems that we don't have a lot of time, but I think it's enough.

I suddenly exerted all the strength of my body and shouted, "The soldiers of the Shu army obey the order and follow me to capture Yiling Pass!" This war will decide the fate of all of us, and the slightest hesitation will lead to the defeat of our entire army. ”
