Chapter 16: The Beginning of the Great War
In the middle of the night, Fu Qianqiu tossed and turned. Now his mind no longer pays attention to the current battle situation in the Ping Territory, but he pays attention to the hero of the legend four years ago.
The sea of chess has always been known as the most pure and sacred place in the world, and it is a place where many people gather in the world. Whether it is a Jianghu person with supreme martial arts, or a powerless scholar, he will be protected there.
People who are in the sea of chess can challenge anyone. There is only one thing to challenge, and that is chess!
The rules of the sea of chess are very loose, and there is only one rule: no use of force!
Four years ago, a person from the sea of Cunxin Chess welcomed a person to distribute chess stickers there, inviting 36 famous players from all over the world to come and play chess.
Among them, there are famous literary masters, as well as famous military advisors and strategists who are famous all over the world. One of them is the most eye-catching, that person is just a person in cloth, but he is a disciple of the chess saint.
The person who sent the sticker played against 36 of the world's top chess players, which lasted three days, and the results were without exception. All 36 of them announced their retirement from the world and never again entered the WTO.
"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes back then, those thirty-six people really disappeared and disappeared. Now what does it mean that the sea of chess is meddling in the turmoil between the two realms?"
Fu Qianqiu rubbed his eyebrows, and let out a long sigh in the middle of the night, leisurely...
"This game is really unpredictable..."
In the early morning, the sound of drills on the school field has broken through the sky. And Xuanyuan Hao was lying next to Shi Mengyan, sleeping very sweetly.
"Hmm..." Shi Mengyan turned over and rubbed his eyes, but what he saw was Xuanyuan Hao's handsome face. Shi Mengyan's little face turned red all of a sudden, and seeing that he was sleeping well, Shi Mengyan started to get up gently.
"Smack..."Shi Mengyan had just left the bed when Xuanyuan Hao's big hand clasped her wrist.
"Ahh
"Where do you want to go, don't wait for your family to change clothes!" Xuanyuan Hao glared at her, let go of his hand and sat up.
Shi Mengyan really wanted to slap him out, but she didn't dare. So he had to reluctantly start dressing Xuanyuan Hao, and then took out his personal handkerchief and wiped Xuanyuan Hao's eyes.
After tidying up, he walked out of the tent with Xuanyuan Hao, Xu Moyin was talking to Zhan Fengting about something, and when he saw Shi Mengyan and Xuanyuan Hao coming out together, the two of them looked at each other and walked towards them.
"Shizi, we should prepare..."Xu Mo said with a bow.
"Okay!" Xuanyuan Hao nodded slightly, then turned around and entered the tent.
Xu Moyin stopped Shi Mengyan and said a few words to her, and then Xu Moyin also walked in.
In the camp of the Ping Territory, Lu Xuancheng stood at the top, and Fu Qianqiu sat on the side and began to deploy the strategy.
Although I am afraid of that person in my heart, the current situation must be solved as soon as possible. In the big battle three days later, not only did Xu Moyin want to win, but Fu Qianqiu wanted to win even more.
"If you don't give Xuanyuan Hao and the others a painful blow as soon as possible, it will be troublesome to wait until that person makes a move. Fu Qianqiu thought to himself in his heart, he was really very jealous of the legendary person.
Defeating thirty-six chess masters in three days, no matter what else it is, this scheming alone has already made Fu Qianqiu feel terrible.
And until now he doesn't even know who that person is, not even how old he is!
Thinking back to the news in the silver needle, and the news that Shi Mengyan came to deliver. Fu Qianqiu has basically confirmed the truth in the letter, but whether the news delivered by Shi Mengyan is true or false, and Xu Moyin's purpose still needs to be carefully considered.
Two days later, on the night, Shi Mengyan changed into night clothes and hurried from the forest path to meet Fu Qianqiu by moonlight.
"Yan'er, what's the matter with you at such a late hour?" Fu Qianqiu's feather fan shook lightly, closed his eyes and sat quietly, looking elegant, as if he was reincarnated Kong Ming.
"Father-in-law, Xu Moyin has made arrangements today, and I came to inform my father-in-law..."Shi Mengyan had secretly discussed with Xu Moyin before he came, and compared with the previous time, Shi Mengyan's state of mind has been a little calmer, and he is no longer nervous.
"Oh..."Fu Qianqiu opened his eyes slowly, his sharp gaze was like two sharp swords staring straight at Shi Mengyan.
Shi Mengyan was tightly locked by Fu Qianqiu's gaze, and suddenly felt like a fish in his throat, and his body trembled slightly.
This moved slightly, but Fu Qianqiu noticed it. Fu Qianqiu remained silent, stood up and walked in front of Shi Mengyan, put his left hand behind him, shook the feather fan in his right hand, and said, "Yan'er, how old were you adopted by your father?"
Shi Mengyan didn't expect Fu Qianqiu to ask such a question, so she hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied, "Yan'er was brought back to the house by her father-in-law when she was five years old to raise her. ”
"Five years old, it's been twenty years now, right?" Fu Qianqiu stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "My father is also old, sometimes my father still thinks about you, when you were a child, that well-behaved little girl always liked to sit on her father's lap and eat." ”
Fu Qianqiu looked at the candle flame in the tent and said with memories.
In the dark, a pair of cold eyes were staring closely at Shi Mengyan who was kneeling on the ground.
Shi Mengyan listened to Fu Qianqiu's words, and also fell into memories. The father who stayed by the bedside all night when he was seriously ill, and the father who rubbed medicine for himself when he was practicing the exercises.
And for the sake of the love in his heart, he betrayed his father who treated him like his own daughter!
"Yan'er has been stubborn since she was a child, thanks to her father-in-law's love and tolerance..."Shi Mengyan said sincerely.
"You're also in your twenties, and it's time for your father to choose a good son-in-law for you..."Fu Qianqiu looked at her, and his eyes instantly became extremely cold, "Look... How is Xuanyuan Hao?"
"Ahh What do you mean by that?"
"Don't you know, my good daughter..."Fu Qianqiu showed a grim smile, then turned around and slowly walked back to his original position.
At the same time, the long sword on Mingyan's waist in the shadows was also on Shi Mengyan's white neck.
"Father-in-law..."Shi Mengyan looked at Fu Qianqiu, tears already flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Yan'er, you have chosen a good son-in-law for your father..."Fu Qianqiu said with a smile, and then the silver needle in his hand flew out with a "swish" and hit Shi Mengyan's Qi Sea Acupoint.
"Poof..."Shi Mengyan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face was extremely pale, and he didn't have any strength up and down his body.
"Since you have chosen such a wishful husband, tomorrow I will see if he is qualified to be my son-in-law!" Fu Qianqiu snorted coldly, and waved his hand to let Mingyan take Shi Mengyan down to prison.
In the camp of the Zhenguo Army, Xu Moyin and Zhan Feng Ting were in the partial tent, and their faces were a little worried. Shi Mengyan has been gone for three hours and has not returned, and Xu Moyin is worried that something will be unexpected.
"I haven't come back yet, then..."Zhan Fengting stopped talking, looked at Xu Moyin's slightly solemn face, and sighed.
"It seems that something happened to Miss Yan..."Xu Moyin looked outside, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
"If something happens to Miss Yan, I'm afraid the son of the world will feel guilty for the rest of his life. And you're going to be happy... Fourth brother... You..."Zhan Fengting said bitterly, looking at this righteous brother who has always had no last resort, he didn't know what to say.
Xu Moyin didn't speak, and sat down quietly.
He knew that he had miscalculated Shi Mengyan's feelings for Xuanyuan Hao, if Shi Mengyan was pretending to surrender, he would definitely come back now. He hasn't come back yet, which means that Shi Mengyan has revealed a flaw, and his strategy has been seen through by Fu Qianqiu.
This night, Xu Moyin secretly shed her own tears. After so many years, he has never shed tears when he is used to seeing swords and swords, but this time is different.
Xuanyuan Hao sat in his tent, wiping the dragon painting. I saw that the body of the spear was blooming with a cold and cold light, symbolizing that tomorrow was bound to thirst for the blood of the enemy.
In the early morning, the battle wind thundered and sorted out the army, and I saw that the morale of the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army was high.
"All the Zhenguo Army obey the order!"
The battle wind thundered loudly, and tens of thousands of Zhenguo troops below echoed at the same time.
"Yes!"
The cheers resounded in the sky, and the Zhenguo army was ready to open the mountain and tear the ground.
"For the sake of the old lord, for the brothers who died in battle, for the tens of thousands of people in the Golden City, go to war!" The battle wind thundered hoarsely, and with a wave of the spear in his hand, Zheng Guanying and Xiao Ran's swords were unsheathed at the same time, and the momentum became stronger for a while.
The sergeants below were killed, and the three of them rushed out of the camp with the battle wind.
On the other hand, the Ping Territory was in full swing, Lu Xuancheng was dressed in black, holding a pitch-black spear in his hand, and his expression remained unchanged in the face of the opponent's strong army.
"Soldiers of the Ping Territory, I am Lu Xuancheng!" Lu Xuancheng fought his horse and said loudly, "The King Mansion of Rongwujiang Chaozhen raised troops for no reason and invaded my territory. Today's battle may cost you your lives, are you afraid?"
Lu Xuancheng's shouts were like thunder, spreading throughout the battlefield.
"Don't be afraid!" "Don't be afraid!" "Don't be afraid!"
"Okay, this is the true character of a man in my peaceful territory!" Lu Xuancheng showed a smile, his soldiers did not embarrass him!
"All the troops listen to the order!" Lu Xuancheng raised the command flag in his hand, and tens of thousands of soldiers waited with bated breath at the same time.
"There is !!"
"Follow the commander, kill the enemy on the battlefield, and reward your meritorious deeds after the battle!" Lu Xuancheng waved the command flag, and all the sergeants immediately moved back and forth according to the direction of the Four Elephants Qiankun Array.
"Drink !!" Tens of thousands of soldiers stood according to the formation, the archers of the Vermilion Bird Formation had already set up their bows and arrows, and the war horses in the White Tiger Formation had begun to neigh.
The two armies confronted each other and were evenly divided in momentum.
Zhan Feng Ting had already followed Xu Moyin's instructions in advance and knew how to break through the entire Four Elephants Qiankun Battle Formation.
Immediately ordered, Zheng Guanying and Xiao Ran each led a road of soldiers and horses, and rushed out from the left and right respectively, containing the cavalry and infantry of Lu Xuancheng, so that the battle formation did not have time to change formations.
"Brothers, kill me!" Zheng Guanying took the lead, and the silver knife in his hand sprinkled a piece of silver in the sunlight.
With a wave of the silver sword, the first few soldiers of the Ping Frontier spurted out a stream of bloody arrows from their throats and fell to the ground and died.
Zheng Guanying led the cavalry to attack the infantry Qinglong Formation, invincible. And Xiao Ran led the infantry to attack the White Tiger Formation, and according to Xu Moyin's instructions in advance, the cold blade was specially slashed at the leg of the war horse.
"Listen to the Zhenguo Army, specially cut the horse's legs!" Xiao Ran roared, and with a stroke of the long sword, the front legs of the war horses beside him were instantly cut off.
The horse wailed and fell to the ground, and the soldiers on horseback also fell off their horses and were hacked to death by the Zhenguo army.
"Kill, avenge the old lord!"
"Brothers from eighteen years ago, did you see that?"
"Brothers, I avenge you!"
Several veterans wept bitterly, but their eyes were blood-red. They are all veterans who survived the battlefield by luck back then, and they have been under Xuanyuan Hao all these years just for this day, to be able to avenge their former brothers with their own hands.
Lu Xuancheng watched the battle on the battlefield, and the order flag in his hand did not move.
Chang Xiaotian and Chang Xiaoyun beside him have already begun to resist the idea of rushing out. The two of them were just about to make a move, but they were stopped by Lu Xuancheng's look.
"Dashuai!" Chang Xiaotian already had tears in his eyes, and roared at Lu Xuancheng.
"This is the real battlefield, the battlefield of blood and tears. Lu Xuancheng's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Now is the time for the sergeants, and their glory is how they fought hard." ”
"But Dashuai, those war horses are innocent..."Chang Xiaoyun couldn't help but speak.
Everyone knows that Chang Xiaoyun doesn't love money or beauty, but he has a soft spot for horses. Looking at these good horses on the battlefield, falling down one by one, his heart felt like he was dripping blood.
"On the battlefield, nothing is cherished. Although your two brothers have been following Ben Shuai for a long time, after all, they were born in the rivers and lakes, and it is also appropriate to have some unbearable feelings in their hearts. Lu Xuancheng looked at the soldiers who had fallen repeatedly on the battlefield and sighed slightly.
On the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides fought to the point of forgetfulness, and Zhan Fengting looked up at the sky, knowing that the time was almost up, and then gave another order.
"Archer prepare!"
As soon as the words fell, several groups of archers poured out from behind, running in different directions, and at the same time preparing to release their arrows in accordance with the order.
Seeing this, Zheng Guanying commanded, "All the troops listen to the order and attack to the north!" Then he turned his horse's head and galloped towards the north.
Xiao Ran on the other side saw that the Battle Wind Thunder Archers were ready, and with a wave of their long swords, several soldiers of the Ping Territory had already spilled blood on the battlefield. Then he took his pair of men and horses and passed through the rear of the archers of the Vermilion Bird Formation from the White Tiger Formation.
This was all arranged by Xu Moyin.
Archers are good at attacking from a distance, and if they attack from behind, they will be in disarray.
Although Zheng Guanying and Xiao Ran were on the battlefield, Zhan Fengting's brows quietly condensed. Xiao Ran had already rushed into the center of the opponent's battle formation, and Lu Xuancheng didn't make the slightest move.
Even the generals and soldiers behind him didn't have the slightest intention of rescuing, if Lu Xuancheng sent troops at this time, then Xiao Ran would definitely fall into a heavy encirclement, and the final result was self-evident!
"Lu Xuancheng, what are you waiting for?" Zhan Fengting pondered for a while, and really couldn't think of what Lu Xuancheng was going to do.
And Lu Xuancheng saw that Xiao Ran had already rushed to the center of the battle array, and the flag in his hand changed, and a pair of men and horses rushed out behind him, led by the general who despised Xuanyuan Hao at the beginning.
"Brothers, kill me!!" the general waved his big knife and immediately rushed towards Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran was shocked, at this time he was already deep in the center of the enemy army, and the limited strength in his hands was not suitable for him to fight the other party. With a change of heart, Xiao Ran immediately ordered, "Rush to the north and join the second brother!"
Immediately, his soldiers also immediately gathered to the north, preparing to flank the front and back.
"See, the people under Xuanyuan Hao can still maintain their sanity even in the chaos of the army, this is the demeanor of a general. Lu Xuancheng had to praise Xiao Ran's courage and steadiness, in such a situation, he could still think of joining up with his friends and attacking back and forth, which was really good.
"It's a pity, they're still too young!" Lu Xuancheng's eyes changed, and he shouted loudly, "Pass on my military order, the Chinese army will immediately go into battle, and those who capture the enemy will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold, and the major general in the camp will be given!"
With an order, the army of the Ping Territory poured out in the direction of Zheng Guanying and Xiao Ran like a tide.
For a while, the situation of the two became even more dangerous!
