Thirty-three Heavenly Tushi Palace.

In the midst of the clouds and mist, the huge rocks suspended in the air are dotted with emerald green, and in the pavilion, Taishang Laojun and a black-haired old man sit on a stone chessboard and play against each other.

The black-haired old man stared intently at the chessboard, stretched out his hand to open his sleeves and glued the sunspots, and said leisurely: "I heard that Marshal Tianpeng has resisted the decree, and now he is leading the Tianhe Water Army to suppress demons in Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou." It seems that Li Jing from Nantianmen is also there. ”

As he spoke, the sunspot settled, and he raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Taishang.

This old man was dressed in a red splendid robe, with long black hair smeared with oil and a shawl, but his temples were white, his face was rough, the water chestnut was like a knife, and the short beard looked not like a Taoist immortal, but like a martial artist.

In terms of face, he is much younger than Taishang.

"Hasn't the junior brother been asking about the world for a long time, why are you so concerned this time?" said that, Taishang casually glued the white son and settled, and his expression looked easy.

"It's not about it. The black-haired old man chuckled: "It's just that I heard someone mention it by chance, and I just asked by the way." In my spare time, I occasionally listen to some rumors, and I should pass the time. ”

After that, he lost another son, sighed long, and said casually: "Senior brother, I have been practicing recently, and I have also seen a glimpse of this heavenly way. At this time, the battle was fought in Huaguo Mountain...... Doesn't seem right. Could it be that there is something different in the way of heaven?"

"Senior brother is too worried. The way of heaven is not easy to understand, but it is just a turn. As soon as he went down, Taishang stroked his long beard and laughed.

The black-haired old man was slightly stunned, staring at the chessboard with less than thirty chess pieces for a long time, before he patted his head and suddenly realized: "It's not as good as senior brother." Hahahaha. ”

"Next game?" Taishang asked.

"No, no, no. That's the next 100 rounds. I can't get down to my brother. The black-haired old man waved his hand.

"Isn't this a game of chess just to win?"

"What do you do if you don't win?"

Looking at the black-haired old man, Taishang sighed: "Senior brother is still as vigorous as when he was young, which is really the envy of senior brother." ”

"What is there to envy about this? Senior brother, I remember that you were also young and vigorous, and at that time, you were quite disgusted with this state of mind. ”

Taishang stretched out his hand to clean up the chessboard, and said with a dry smile: "Things are often lost before they know how to cherish them." In charge of the Heavenly Dao, five hundred years of prosperity. Five hundred years of decline, in the end, a qiē is just a passing cloud. The farther you look, the more helpless you become. Brother, I don't have the ambition I had when I was young. ”

As he spoke, Taishang gently patted the black-haired old man's hand and said in a low voice: "It's not terrible not to get it, but it's terrible that there is no one in front of it." ”

The black-haired old man stared at Taishang with a sad face for a long time: "Hey, Senior Brother is also right to say that." Everyone has everyone's suffering, and we are not those who practice Buddhism in the West, so how can we be 'blissful'? ”

After laughing. The black-haired old man paused and asked again, "Senior brother." Who do you think will win the battle of Huaguo Mountain?"

"I think?" Taishang thought for a moment, and replied with a smirk, "I don't know." ”

"You don't even know, senior brother?" the black-haired old man looked at Taishang with half-squinted eyes.

"I don't know. ”

"That's amazing. The black-haired old man stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth with his thumb and said, "This Marshal Tianpeng, in terms of leading the troops, should be the first in the Heavenly Court, can it be that he can still lose to a demon monkey in the Nether?"

Putting the last chess piece into the box, Taishang raised his eyes and looked at the black-haired old man and said, "What do we have to do with this victory or defeat?"

The black-haired old man pouted, "That's right." Originally, the human race was chosen to enter the heavenly court in order to achieve a balance between the upper and lower levels. Over the years, the Tianhe Water Army's suppression of demons has indeed become more ruthless, and it has become a situation where the Heavenly Court is the dominant family in the Three Realms. If he is defeated, the demon clan rises, and he returns to the beginning. ”

"It's inevitable that one will lose the other, but it can't be returned to the beginning. ”

"Why can't you return?" the black-haired old man was slightly stunned.

Holding his long beard, Taishang sighed: "This time the demon monkey is a bit special." ”

......

The confrontation lasted for a whole day, and the mighty army of more than 20 and nearly 300,000 stared like this.

During this whole day, what the two sides did was limited to verbal scolding, and they did not make a move.

It wasn't until sunset that the three phalanxes of the Tianhe Water Army began to retreat.

"Could it be that you just came to show your might and leave?" the monkey waved his hand casually: "Advance, don't let them go like this." ”

Turning his face sideways, the monkey said to the nine-headed insect: "I can't leave, how about you go and get a head?"

"Okay. The hydra nodded, and turned into a black light and flew towards the front line.

The war drums of the Huaguo Mountain Demon Army, which had been silent for a whole day, finally beat up, and the demon soldiers deployed on the front line quickly cheered up and began to move forward.

The originally untidy troops slowly dispersed, guarding the twelve wooden warships and slowly moving forward, and the faces with very different appearances exuded a soaring murderous aura.

Seeing that the demon army in Huaguo Mountain finally moved, the three phalanxes that were retreating immediately stopped.

"Marshal. Tensuke's eyes slowly slanted towards the canopy.

Touching his chin and pursing his lips, Tianpeng frowned and stared at the demon warship that was slowly advancing, and stretched out his hand to signal: "The seventeenth and thirtieth phalanx on the left flank, the fifty-eighth and seventy-second phalanx on the right flank, subject to the fifty-eighth phalanx, will advance eight hundred zhang in the column." The first and third phalanxes of the Chinese army remained unchanged, and the second phalanx retreated 50 zhang in a "one-word" array. Tianren continued to be in charge of the vanguard command. ”

"No!"

At the same time as the herald flew out, Tianpeng turned his head and said to the general on the side: "The Chinese army retreats one hundred and fifty zhang, and the left and right wings advance six hundred zhang in a goose formation. ”

"No. ”

"Marshal, ...... this?"

"Try it. Tianpeng raised his head slightly, and the fingers on the side of the boat unconsciously tapped: "This demon monkey is scheming, and depending on the situation, he also knows a little bit about arranging troops." It's just that this formation mutation technique, I don't know how much I understand. ”

......

"Not withdrawing?" the monkey craned his head and looked at the fleet opposite.

At this time, the fleet of the Tianhe Water Army had slowly moved out of the four new battle formations and converged with the original three battle formations in front of the front, rapidly changing.

But the monkeys were more concerned about the change in the formation at the rear.

The formation, which had a rectangular layout, began to compress. The two wings stretched out towards Huaguo Mountain. It's as if a gaping mouth is ready to swallow the salient of the demon army.

"Are you going to get the hydra to stop their advance?" asked Shortmouth.

"Nope. They continue to push. We are also advancing with all our troops, keeping a distance of five miles and ready to support at any time. The hydra is inside, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

"Okay. ”

"Wait. ”

"Huh?"

"The wings moved forward, and we marched in formation. By the way, assign the long barrels to both wings. The Vulcan ship moves forward, ready to charge at any moment!"

With the waving of the order flag, the demon army also slowly changed its formation.

"It looks like I want to do it quickly. Tiancang's eyes widened slightly.

"We don't know the opponent's hole cards yet. Such...... Not so well, marshal. "Tianfu said.

"It's not good, it's just for show. If they retreat now, they will definitely pounce. At that time, although it will not endanger the whole army, it will definitely lead to casualties. It's not necessary to turn into a rout. As he spoke, Tian Peng pointed to one of the generals beside him and said: "The Chinese army will retreat fifty zhang again, the twentieth, twenty-fifth, thirty-fourth, thirty-ninth, forty-first, forty-seventh, fifty-second, fifty-sixth phalanx, the two will swap positions, and the rest of the battle array will move forward twenty zhang, and the archers will shoot arrows and prepare to shoot." The warships of the first-line fleet went forward to defend against the assault. Ballistas on second-line warships. Also, prepare to resist the flow of the formation to prevent the opponent from being remote. ”

"No. ”

After the day of the herald will be gone. Tianpeng raised his head slightly and sighed: "This monkey obviously doesn't know how to arrange troops. But he was clever enough to take the easiest way to deal with it. Well, that's fine, we can have an advantage. As long as you try to avoid getting into the middle of the war, you can advance and retreat freely. ”

Countless warships broke away from the phalanx and sailed to the front, turning the rudder and placing the battleship in front of the formation. After that, the phalanx of the Tianhe Water Army moved frequently like flying bees, but it was neat.

The lineup, seeing the monkey's eyes jerked sharply.

The overall formation has not changed, but almost every part of the interior of the formation is being fine-tuned, and the key is that it has become too fast, and the monkeys are dazzled, let alone judged.

"Some things really don't just take a few books. ”

"What now?" asked the short-mouthed.

"Now...... Now......" the monkey kept rubbing his fingers, as if waiting for something.

At this time, the distance between the front-line troops of the two sides was less than three hundred zhang, and the top seven Tianhe water army formations had drawn their bows to the fullest under the command of Tianren, and the sword soldiers and halberd soldiers were all ready to deal with the demon army's charge.

Three hundred zhang is the effective killing distance of the archery troops of the Tianhe Water Army, and given that the demon army is wearing heavy armor, this distance must be shortened to two hundred zhang.

Just as the nine-headed insect was about to transform into a half-beast form and lead a group of demon soldiers to kill it, the monkey's order arrived.

"Stop attacking? Damn, I'm trying my best to make me stop attacking?"

"It's not about stopping the attack, it's about telling you to wait. ”

Turning back, the hydra saw dozens of wooden warships passing around him and heading straight for the enemy.

These battleships are the same ones that the Heavenly General reported to the canopy before, and there are no battleships with ramming angles!

Before entering the range of the Tianhe Water Army, the demon soldiers guarding the battleship had already scattered one after another.

"What do they want to do?

The canopy was also slightly stunned.

"Could it be that you want to use it to block arrows?"

Soon, these warships entered the range of the Tianhe Water Army, but the troops led by the hydra in the rear did not follow.

In a burst of confusion, Tianren tentatively ordered a round of arrows, and the silver-white arrows shot at the battleship, shooting through the canvas, and some even directly pierced the wooden plank, but did not reduce the speed of the battleship at all.

The warships were still rushing towards the direction of the Tianhe Water Army.

"If we continue like this, we will crash directly into the battleship at the front, right?"

"Can this broken battleship crash into our warship?"

"Not to mention crashing, it's hard to break through the gap!"

No one doubted the tenacity of the steel warships that the Tianhe Navy had deployed at the forefront to block.

But at this moment, the rear hatches of these wooden battleships opened, and hundreds of monsters fluttered their wings and fished out of them!

"Oh no! dodge!" exclaimed Canopy.

"Boom-"

Before the words fell, I saw that those wooden battleships had slammed into the battleships of the Tianhe Water Army, and then, they were torn apart under the gaze of everyone, and in the roar, they turned into flames like waves that engulfed the battleship, along with the military formation behind the battleship......

Nezha's hand slipped in the distance and almost fell down. (To be continued......)
