Journey to the West: All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 65 The Chess Player
In the early morning sunshine, an iron cavalry galloped across the ground, rushing towards the defensive position of the invaders in the East China Sea in an array of arrows.The leader, Yafeng, was the one-horned rhinoceros monster that Jiang Liu met before. Facing the army composed of East China Sea islanders and monsters, the leading captain's face sank like water.

A personal guard behind him held up a large black banner embroidered with basalt patterns.This is the banner of the Shence Army, an elite frontier guard in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty. The three purple gold rings on the flagpole indicate that this army has made at least three great achievements.

The three elites of the Tang Dynasty, one is the "Xuanjia Army" that guards the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty; Leopard Tao, Qianniu, Iron Armor, Habayashi, Huben, Jinwu, Flying Eagle, Tianxiong, Difficulty, Covering the Sea, Surging Waves...

There are many other personal guards of the generals, the Tiance Army of the Tiance Mansion, the Six Rates of the East Palace, etc., are powerful, but their numbers are not large, and cannot be compared with the above three armies.

Naturally, such a force of thousands of brave cavalry cannot be compared with the soldiers of Zhechong Prefecture, nor can it be stopped by the native soldiers of the East China Sea Islands.

However, the eighteen countries of the East China Sea Islands jointly invaded the Eastern Land Datang, and all of them used the strength of the whole country to attack, and the army they led was also elite. Otherwise, they would not have defeated the government soldiers from all over the country in a short period of time and occupied thousands of miles of land.

Attacking at the same time as the Shence Army, there were also four elite troops of thousands of riders, who were mixed into the army at the same time...

And on the tower of the besieged Jiangyin City, there stood a big man like a black tower, holding a big ax in his hand, which was not inferior in appearance to Xie Chou's Xuanhua big axe.

"Grandma, it's finally here. The Great Demon Army obeys the order and follows me to fight!"

After finishing speaking, he jumped down from the tower and straddled a monster horse, "Dang Dang Dang", the hoofs struck the bluestone, most of the body was covered in steel armor, only a big bloody mouth was exposed. Canine-toothed and clearly not herbivorous.And the white mist was constantly spewing from the two nostrils, as if the blood in his body was boiling, and his eyes were burning, as if he had been waiting for this battle for a long time.

The armor on the black tower man's body is obviously made by the same person as the armor on the monster rider. They are similar in style and complement each other. You can see that there are sharp black iron thorns everywhere, almost two or three inches long. In the high-speed charge, you can die if you rub it.The broad ax he held in his hand had a shaft at least as thick as an egg, and there was a smear of blood on the ax blade, flickering non-stop, giving the impression that it was breathing!
Absolutely extraordinary at a glance!

The city gate made a "creaking" sound, the Wanjin city gate was slowly opened by the mechanism, and the suspension bridge on the moat also fell at the same time.

The monster rider couldn't bear it anymore, and kept beating the ground with its front hooves. Just as the city gate was opened, the big man in the black tower roared: "Great Demon Army, fight!"

Before the words fell, the Yaoqi turned into a gust of wind and shot out.

"war!"

With a deafening sound, Qianqi followed the black tower man through the city gate and rushed towards the military camp of the Donghai island country outside the city.

……

At the same time, in the Tai Chi Palace of Chang'an City, a handsome man dressed in bright yellow was playing chess with a big black man. The big black man held the chess piece with his carrot-thick fingers and pondered for a long time before dropping a piece.

The man in bright yellow smiled "haha" and said, "Bite gold, you are good at chess! You big dragon has come back to life!"

This big black man is Cheng Yaojin: "Your Majesty is not thinking about this game of chess today, is he thinking about the invasion of the East China Sea?"

And this bright yellow man is naturally Li Shimin, the lord of the Tang Dynasty. He looked at the east and said after a long time: "The eighteen countries in the East China Sea are here with all the power of the whole country. Tie Niu and Yuchi Baolin can't handle it! And the ghost king , he was a generation of heroes during his lifetime! If one fails to deal with it, the whole game will be lost."

Cheng Yaojin said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, the land of the south of the Yangtze River can use this battle to wipe out Xiaoxiao in one fell swoop, and the Shence army will ride down to the south of the Yangtze River. That’s it. Tieniu, my son, is three points better than I was in Wagangzhai. I can stand in Wagang, where all the heroes are looking around. Tieniu leads the strong army of the Tang Dynasty, so there is no possibility of failure. If you really can’t hold on , even if he comes back alive, I will bring this son's head to see His Majesty."

"Severe words! Tieniu and Baolin are the new forces of my Tang Dynasty. You have to know how many talents there are in the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes... It's not that I don't want to use them, but I can't use them too much. It's best to use one or two. It’s okay to use three or four, but if you use five or six, it’s going back to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the great situation in our Tang Dynasty will be ruined!”

"This game of chess has just begun!"

……

In the dark secret room of the Cui family in Qinghe, an old man with white hair sat: "I heard that the children of the Cui family are leading the army south this time. Whose child is it? The south seems dangerous this time, but it is a great opportunity." , There is a son in my Cui family who is like this, so please support him!"

There was a row of men standing in front of the old man, one of them walked out, bowed and said: "Old Master, this is my concubine, Cui Ping, he is eighteen this year, has been in the Shence Army for five years, and now he is a lieutenant leading thousands of people."

"Oh, it's you! Cui Yonggui, I didn't expect you to give birth to such a son, what a blessing!"

The old man nodded, and then said: "You all know that it is impossible for Datang to reuse the children of our five surnames. He wants to use our five surnames and Qiwang as pigs to raise him for the sake of the eternal foundation. Cui Ping can get such an opportunity , if you don’t die in battle, you can go one step further... My Cui family has money and plenty of money, but we lack senior officials in the court and generals in the army. This is an opportunity, don’t lose it yourself. Father, You have to look like a father..."

As soon as these words came out, the man named "Cui Yonggui" turned pale.

"He is my Cui family, and this will never change! I think you should know how to do it..."

……

On the east coast, the atmosphere is suffocating!Even the sea breeze was full of sobs.Armed troops emerged from all directions, drove the unarmed captives to the beach, and then... brazenly raised their butcher knives at these thousands of people! !
The people of the Tang Dynasty were tough, so there were naturally people who resisted, but they were unarmed, and could only be slaughtered by others in the face of the army.

After killing these thousands of people, those monkey-like island troops quickly chopped off their heads. This movement was extremely smooth, and practice makes perfect. It seems that this beheading action is not uncommon.Thousands of heads piled up a huge minaret on the beach, reaching a height of ten meters. It was hideous, and then quickly withdrew from this ghost-like place.

Until night fell, a black figure appeared above the high tower built of human heads, and countless black air spread from the surroundings, and was then sucked into his body.

"Hey hey hey, living soul is indeed a great tonic. That land of immortality! It doesn't look like much time!"

And the blood had already dyed the beach red, and the same killing was staged every day for the black shadow to devour the living soul.
