The setting sun was like blood, and the ground was a bright red. The wind blew, and the smell of blood became more and more obvious. Countless corpses were lying on the ground, some with their heads cut off, and some pierced with spears.
, but more soldiers could no longer see their appearance, and were all charred black. They still maintained the painful and struggling postures in life, struggling and rolling desperately, and were scattered all over the earth.
No one expected that this battle would last for a day.
The side that participated in this battle was Anguo's 100,000-strong army, three elite battalions, and one cannon fodder battalion. There were also five or six warrior-level masters, as well as Anguo's most sophisticated weapons.
On the other side was the southern Xinjiang army that was fleeing in panic. They had been marching for more than ten days. They had no supplies and no reinforcements. When they entered Broken Heart Cliff, they were attacked by a powerful military minister.
It’s pretty obvious who is weak and who is strong.
But no one could have imagined that after this battle that lasted for more than ten hours, Anguo's 100,000-strong army was in terrible shape. Five or six warriors were killed in the battle, and all four camps were disrupted. There were nearly 40,000 to 50,000 casualties, and the coach Zhang Qiang was also killed.
The person took the head off his neck.
However, the southern Xinjiang army only sent 3,000 troops and suffered more than 1,000 casualties. In the surprise attack, they defeated an enemy that was almost a hundred times more powerful than themselves.
There are naturally many reasons for this, Zhang Qiang's selfishness and underestimation of the enemy are partly responsible. And the southern Xinjiang army's combat power that dominates the mainland is also a big factor, but the real reason is because of the heaven and earth chessboard.
Under Broken Heart Cliff, Su Le single-handedly broke through boulders, fought fiercely with dragon cannons, and fought bloody battles with martial arts assassins. His whole body was beaten to pieces, but at this moment, Huang Wei almost died fighting for him. He unexpectedly died in anger.
It strangely aroused one ten-millionth of the power of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, but the Heaven and Earth Chessboard was really terrifying.
Even if it was only one ten millionth, as a warrior, he could not control it. Just when he almost lost all hope, the golden chess piece in his body suddenly rushed into his brain, and countless strange ancient symbols appeared instantly, and
Countless ways to use the Heaven and Earth chessboard appeared in his mind instantly.
However, his strength is too small. Even if he tries his best, he cannot use this terrifying artifact. All he can do is to use the abnormal phenomena of heaven and earth caused by the chessboard of heaven and earth, and can only reluctantly introduce the assassin Wu Xiang into the chessboard of heaven and earth.
In a fantasy world.
Whether he was stabbed or had his whole body's strength broken, all of this was an illusion given to the military minister by the chessboard of heaven and earth. However, he was unable to distinguish the difference between reality and illusion, and as a result, he was inexplicably killed by a seriously injured samurai.
.
What's even more terrifying is that after Su Le killed the Wu Xiang, the Wu Xiang's power actually poured into the chessboard like a torrent of river water, because the heaven and earth chessboard was no longer in his body, and all these vitality were completely absorbed by it.
He absorbed it. Unfortunately, for the chessboard of heaven and earth, the power of a military prime minister is basically similar to that of an ant.
However, what Su Le didn't expect was that when all the Prime Minister Wu's vitality entered the heaven and earth chessboard, the entire chessboard mysteriously disappeared into the vast space.
Immediately, Su Le suddenly felt that there seemed to be a strange power surging out of his body. But after a moment, his power returned to its full strength, and even the wounds just now disappeared without a trace.
He was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect that this heaven and earth chessboard had such a powerful power.
What surprised him even more was that he had advanced again. He was now a third-level warrior. Not only that, the black stones in his inner sea had become smooth and clean, and the beautiful woman on the cliff had become
It also becomes more real.
For some reason, Su Le suddenly had the feeling that the woman was smiling at him. There was no evidence, but he was smiling at him, and she was so beautiful. But what surprised him was that the white man next to the woman was smiling.
The fox disappeared without a trace.
Looking at his soul grass again, Su Le almost fell over in fear.
At this time, the soul grass has grown twice as tall as it did at the beginning. What is even more terrifying is that the entire leaves are covered with strange golden fruits.
He had never thought that this most common soul grass could actually grow fruits. It was really incredible. But all this was nothing. The sky above the waves completely changed its appearance, high in the distant sky.
There is a huge sun, and high in the sky, there are countless golden threads intertwined horizontally and vertically.
At this moment, Su Le saw clearly that the horizontally and vertically intertwined golden lines were a huge chessboard. And in the very center of the chessboard, at Tianyuan's position, there was a golden chess piece.
But at this moment, countless thunderous sounds brought his thoughts back to reality. It turned out to be An Guo's dragon cannon attacking him without mercy.
Although he has no way to control the heaven and earth chessboard, he uses the heaven and earth chessboard to control the weather here. Not only that, he also uses the breath of the heaven and earth chessboard to hide his three thousand cavalry. Otherwise, how could these three thousand cavalry easily rush into Anguo's army?
Camp.
Even so, the numerical gap puts the southern Xinjiang army at an absolute disadvantage.
However, sometimes, God really favors the weak. Zhang Qiang's idea of eliminating dissidents prevented the 100,000 troops from being properly dispatched. And it was the weakest cannon fodder battalion that fought against the Southern Xinjiang cavalry. With its strong combat effectiveness, this
The artillery battalion was dispersed in almost a moment, and the remaining defeated soldiers hid in various directions and completely destroyed the Anguo camp.
If someone could rectify the Anguo army at this time, they would suffer heavy casualties, but they would also surely eat up the three thousand cavalrymen in Southern Xinjiang. But at this moment, Su Le showed his personal power, and easily
They beheaded Zhang Qiang and some commanders, sounding the clarion call for the complete defeat of the Anguo army.
These three thousand people were the elite of the southern Xinjiang army. Almost everyone had the combat power of the fifth level or above. Coupled with their overwhelming momentum, it took them seven or eight hours to kill before they withdrew. But these people, when they returned,
When I arrived at the camp, I got off my horse, fell to the ground, and fell asleep.
Su Le looked at the dead bodies on the ground and felt a little unbearable. He had never been a person who was easy to kill. Ever since he became Su Le in this life, it can be said that he killed people like crazy, but that was all under forced circumstances. No matter what
Whether dealing with caravans or bandits, he showed no mercy.
This is not that he is cold-blooded, it is just that in order to protect the people who are important to him, he must pick up the butcher's knife. But in this world where martial arts is the only way, in this troubled world where everyone is regarded as a fool, if you want to survive, you want to protect the people who are important to you.
, the heart must be ruthless.
Only by resorting to demonic means can the bodhisattva's heart be revealed.
As a man of two generations, Su Le understood this truth better, but he had to attack the Anguo army. This was a matter of no choice. He had to do it regardless of whether there was a heaven and earth chessboard or not.
The first reason is that after passing Broken Heart Cliff, you will reach the border of the Southern Barbarians, where bandits are rampant. The Southern Barbarians are not easy to get along with. They have no city and are just a piece of fat in everyone's eyes. Then you have to show your sharp sword.
, let everyone know that if you want to eat yourself, you have to pay half your life.
The second reason is that it is already early December. The weather here is unpredictable, and heavy snow may fall in the blink of an eye. Now the southern Xinjiang army is ownerless and has no supplies at all. And the An** team
The equipment in all aspects is very sophisticated. This place is far away from the capital, so the opponent must be equipped with winter clothing. If you don't snatch it, your army may not be able to withstand the invasion of the cold winter.
The third reason is also the most important reason. There are 30,000 to 40,000 people in the southern Xinjiang army. After these days of rapid march, there is not much food left. More importantly, the assassin Wu Xiang is very despicable. Before assassinating Su Le, he
The remaining rations of the army have been burned.
If this continues, the army will have less than three days of rations. And Anguo's rations are what he must get. Don't say that the Anguo team did not expect that they would be attacked. Even when Su Le announced that he would attack Anguo's camp,
Several commanders objected very strongly.
But now, these generals have great admiration for Su Le. He actually led 3,000 cavalry and Dapo Anguo's 100,000 troops. This is simply impossible. But the chessboard of heaven and earth is one of his most important secrets.
It was impossible to tell anyone.
The continuous battles also exhausted his body to the extreme. After determining the number of casualties, he fell directly into the commander's tent and fell unconscious.
In a daze, he heard what seemed to be a noise outside. He weakly opened his eyes, and a pair of pretty eyes around him were immediately filled with joy. Before he could speak, He Lu had already fallen into his arms.
He originally wanted to push He Lu away, but after thinking for a while he did not refuse. This woman was innocent and romantic, and she was passionately devoted to him. How could he be such a cruel person?
He gently lifted He Lu up, frowned slightly, and said with a helpless look on his face: "Xiao Lu, do you know that I can't marry you."
A trace of sadness flashed across He Lu's face, but she returned to normal in an instant. She smiled and said: "Brother Su, I understand in my heart that you have Her Royal Highness the Princess and even Miss Yue in your heart. You and them are the ones who
I don't dare to ask for marriage with you, the one who is truly worthy of you. I just hope to stay by your side, and I am willing to be a daughter and a maid."
Su Le shook his head gently, held her in his arms, gently stroked the woman's hair, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."
When He Lu heard this, his face flushed and his eyes were blurred. His whole body was as limp as water in Su Le's arms.
Su Le has experienced ups and downs in his two lives. Now that a beautiful woman is in his arms, how can he bear it? His hands are still inserted into He Lu's fur coat.
He Lu was already like water, and now he couldn't move, so he had to close his eyes tightly. He let him do whatever he wanted, but just when the two of them were deeply in love, they suddenly heard a loud roar outside the door, and a huge figure had broken into his eyes.
Inside the account.
Like a frightened little rabbit, He Lu suddenly broke away from Su Le's arms.
Su Le's face also looked very unnatural. He stared at the big bull in front of him and said through gritted teeth: "You, you! You are so hateful. If the matter is not serious, I will punish you by sending troops on your wedding night.
fight."
Daniel's hair stood on end. He also knew that he was being reckless. When he heard Su Le's words again, sweat dripped from his face. However, it was already a mess outside, and he had no time to think about anything else, so he quickly said loudly:
"Brother, something bad has happened. The army in southern Xinjiang has been infected with the plague."
This news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Su Le stunned.
