Chapter 47 Destiny is like a chess game (6)

Liu Shang, the Centurion of the First Guard, is the capable general of the Guard Chief Baicheng Yan and an authentic sixth-grade warrior. At this time, he was on the court of Juguo Palace, calmly paying attention to everything on the chessboard.

As a ‘rook’ piece on the red square board!

In his house on Jinyun Street, there are three hundred taels of silver given to him by the chief of guard.

Of course, that was money used to do things, to save the lives of Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng.

Initially, when he learned that both targets were going to participate in the military exercise, Liu Shang felt mixed feelings.

What is worrying is that the number of participants in Wuqi is very small, and the audience is full of attention. It is difficult to hide in the crowd and secretly commit crimes as originally planned.

Fortunately, this way, you can take two lives of the target openly without having to pretend it is an accident; and martial chess is the only game in military exercises where the first guard can beat the second and third guards!

To explain, there is a complex military background behind this:

Among the three guards, the first guard is responsible for guarding Hanye City and has experienced the least war. Moreover, the guard chief Baicheng Yan's thoughts are on the officialdom. He is busy wooing the dignitaries in the court all day long to ensure that he will inherit the throne of the country in the future.

Do military affairs.

Therefore, in comparison, the combat power of the first guard is far behind that of the third guard, let alone Lian Hongye's second guard.

Corruption was common and there was no war, which resulted in the truly capable people in the army having almost no path for advancement and remaining silent among ordinary soldiers.

The "Martial Arts Chess" in the military exercise gave them a very rare stage to prove themselves, so they earned a lot of money every year for quotas, and the last ones to appear were all the elite of the whole army.

In contrast, the strong players in the second and third guards have already made a name for themselves on the battlefield, and have received salaries such as those of centurions. It is too late for them to seek stability, and there is no need to risk taking a trip into this muddy water.

.

As a result, except for young people like Ye Ziqi who were eager to get ahead, no one was willing to attend Wuqi. This gave Liu Shang the best advantage to take the opportunity to kill Ye Gu.

Privately, he has promised all the officers and soldiers of the First Guard who participated in the "Martial Chess" that whoever takes the heads of Ye and Gu will receive fifty taels of silver for their life!

At this moment, the red "Knight" chess piece is rushing towards the target called Ye Ziqi. He is about to see the moment when the reward promised to him will be fulfilled.

"Whew!——" The moment the black horse neighed, people and horses intertwined, the powerful horse raised its front hooves high, and the shadow fell on the young man like a mountain.

Ye Ziqi swung away the spear with his sword, then stabbed it into the horse's belly with his sword!

Red blood fell like rain, bathing his whole body.

The next moment, the black horse collapsed, and his body fell completely towards Ye Ziqi, completely pressing him to the ground!

"It's done!"

Liu Shang was delighted.

Tang Zhao looked happy.

Tang Sizhou nodded gently.

Tang Wandie's heart suddenly tightened.

The commander raised the red flag.

The second guard's voice was hoarse.

Everything is settled.

But just before the atmosphere in the audience was about to explode——

The dark horse is moving.

The commander's hand stopped halfway up. In the center of his sight, where thousands of people in the school grounds were pointing -

The dark horse has been picked up!

The atmosphere in the audience seemed to be suffocating, and they stared blankly at the young soldier on the chessboard who was "forcing the palace".

With a ferocious look on his face, he stood up with the black horse on his shoulders. Finally, he bowed his upper body slightly, grabbed the upper arms of the black horse's front and rear legs with both hands, supported the horse's belly with his shoulders, and carried the entire horse on his back!

The body soaked in horse blood, so young, seems to be standing tall and tall.

"good!"

I don’t know how long the silence lasted, but with a burst of cheers, the atmosphere in the school grounds was ignited!

"Okay! Hahaha..."

"Wonderful!"

"Our Ju country has such brave soldiers, we will definitely defeat the horse thieves!"

"Long live Ju Guo!"

…

The red chess cavalryman was thrown off his horse before. He just sat up with his gun and was about to get up. When he looked up, he saw his mount being lifted into the sky.

The strength to stand up was suddenly drained away, and I felt like the wind was blowing in my heart.

He thought of the giant Kuafu.

"boom!"

The black horse was completely smashed by Ye Ziqi onto the cavalry, causing the cavalry to faint.

"Heisheng!"

The commander raised the black flag, and the atmosphere in the audience boiled again.

Liu Shang lowered his head and scratched his nose amidst the roaring cheers from all sides. This was his habit when he felt nervous. A job of three hundred taels was indeed not an easy job. He felt regretful that Baicheng Yan had called him to do this job.

When the time comes, he should just excuse himself because of illness.

"Five pawns advance one!"

The chess game continued, and Ye Ziqi walked to the center of the nine-square grid on the red side, becoming the piece that determined the outcome.

"The car is two and retreats four!"

"Bow eight equals four, general!"

"Two rooks draw five, and you'll get a pawn!"

As soon as the chess order came out, the whole audience was shocked. The leader of the country, Baicheng Jiong, even ignored the red general who was "bowed" to the chess general, and wanted to kill Ye Ziqi first!

Liu Shang took a long, long breath.

Then, he knocked the butt of the gun against the car board and held the gun barrel with both hands.

The driver understood this, drove the chariot pulled by two horses, and rushed straight towards Ye Ziqi in the center of the nine-square grid.

On a real battlefield, a chariot must be ridden by at least three people, one holding a bow, one holding a spear, and one driving the chariot, usually with four horses riding together. It is a ferocious killing weapon that runs rampant on the battlefield.

Therefore, there is a saying in the Art of War: "Chariots and cavalry are the weapons of the army. Therefore, ten thousand people can be defeated, and a hundred people can be confused." (Note 1)

Although "Martial Chess" reduces the strength of the chariot and only one person stands on the vehicle to fight, for the infantry, trying to block it is still the same as using a mantis as a chariot.

The wheels rolled towards Ye Ziqi with a "clang, clang, clank" sound. When the horse's head approached, Liu Shang suddenly stabbed him with his spear, but he never expected that Ye Ziqi suddenly raised his head at this time, roared and slashed him with his sword.

!

The spear and sword intersect, and the immeasurable force swings away the spear and sword!

Because he never expected that Ye Ziqi would not dodge, but confront him head-on, Liu Shang missed the best opportunity to attack. In fact, at that moment, he really thought that Ye Ziqi was going to rush forward and slash him with a sword.

It wasn't until the wheels rolled by that he recalled in a cold sweat that according to the rules, Ye Ziqi could only defend this round.

Use offense as defense.

"Bang, bang..."

A sound like a drumbeat suddenly sounded in his ears. Liu Shang turned around and saw that it was Ye Ziqi who was chasing after him with a sword in his stride!

"You brat!" Liu Shang was furious when he saw this. He thought that he had been in the army for nearly twenty years and was a centurion of a guard. How could he be chased by a new soldier? So he said angrily: "Stop!"

The charioteer immediately stopped his horse. Liu Shang shuddered and realized that he might have been too impulsive. Ye Ziqi seized this opportunity and jumped onto the chariot!

When Liu Shang saw this, he shot him down without saying a word!

"Snapped!"

Ye Ziqi blocked the incoming gun with his horizontal sword, took two steps back under heavy pressure, pressed his feet against the rear edge of the car, and finally stabilized. Then he changed his stance and wanted to fight back, but at this time Liu Shang had already pressed forward with his second shot.

"Run!" Liu Shang roared, and the chariot started to move the chariot again. Ye Ziqi suddenly became unsteady on his feet.

This was exactly what Liu Shang was thinking. He saw that Ye Ziqi's strength was his extraordinary strength, but due to his youth, his skills were far inferior to his own, and he was not suitable for fighting in a car.

So he made the chariot run. As the carriage swayed, Ye Ziqi's pace became hasty. Liu Shang used a set of "Liuhe Spear Techniques" to make the movement flow smoothly, with big three and small three, and he was able to suppress Ye Ziqi until he was only

The power of defense without the power to fight back!

After the spear was slashed vertically, it was followed by a twisting spear, with the tip of the spear drawn in a circle, lifting Ye Ziqi's sword away. Then Liu Shang took a bow, pressed the tip of the spear, and stabbed Ye Ziqi directly in the chest!

Ye Ziqi's sword was entangled, but he didn't wait for death. He slapped his gun with his left hand and missed it. At that moment, the sword in his right hand had lost all its power, so he reversed and slashed straight back from top to bottom.

Seeing this, Liu Shang held the gun with his left hand and slid the handle backwards. He raised the gun with his right hand and raised it to chest level. At the same time, he turned the gun horizontally from left to right with both hands, and then knocked the sword away. Then, he kept moving up and turned his body to the right.

With this move of "Cloud Pulling Gun", he swept the gun in a circle and then swung it towards Ye Ziqi!

Ye Ziqi could only defend with his sword. His body was beaten and he took two steps to the right. Liu Shang did not give him a chance to breathe. He immediately retracted the gun body and hit it. Ye Ziqi blocked it again with his sword. His defense combined with the combo of blows left him breathless.
