The Monkey King: Chapter 313 : Battleship without ram
The Thirty-Three Heavenly Tusita Palace.
Amidst the mist, the huge rocks suspended in the air are embellished with emerald greens. In the pavilion, Taishang Laojun and a black-haired old man are sitting on both ends of a stone chessboard to play a game.
The black-haired old man stared intently at the chessboard, stretched out his hand to open his sleeves and glued the black spots, and said leisurely: "I heard that Marshal Tianpeng has resisted the decree, and now he is leading the Tianhe Marine Corps to fight demons in Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou. Well. It seems that Li Jing of Nantianmen is also there."
Said, the sunspot settled down, he raised his eyelids slightly and gave him a glance.
This old man was dressed in a red splendid Taoist robe, and his long black hair was smeared with oil, but his temples were white, his face was rough, the water chestnuts were as sharp as a knife, and with that short beard, he didn't look like a man. Taoist Xianjia, but like a warrior.
In terms of face, he is also much younger than Taishang.
"Didn't you ask about world affairs for a long time? Why are you so concerned this time?" Said, Taishang picked up Baizi and settled down, and his expression seemed to be at ease.
"It's not a matter of heart." The black-haired old man tutted and laughed: "It's just a matter of hearing people mention it by the way, and it's just a question. In my spare time, I occasionally hear some rumors, and I have the right to pass it on."
After all, he lost another child, sighed a long time, and said casually: "Junior brother, I have been practicing recently, and I have a glimpse of the way of heaven. At this time, the battle at Huaguo Mountain... seems a bit wrong. Could it be that the way of heaven is different? "Junior brother has been thinking too much. The way of heaven is not easy to understand, but it just turned a corner." As soon as he went down, Tai Shang stroked his long beard and laughed.
The black-haired old man was stunned for a moment. He stared at the board with less than thirty chess pieces for a while, and then he patted his head and suddenly realized: "It's not as good as Senior Brother. Hahahaha."
"Next game?" Taishang asked.
"No, no, no. Even if you play a hundred rounds, you won't be able to beat senior brother." The black-haired old man waved his hand.
"Isn't playing 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 envy of senior brother."
"What is there to envy? Junior Brother, I remember that you were young and energetic. At that time, you were quite disgusted with such a state of mind."
Taishang stretched out his hand to clean up the chessboard, and said with a dry smile: "It is often when something is lost that you know how to cherish it. In charge of the way of heaven, five hundred years of prosperity. Five hundred years of decline, in the end, everything is nothing but fleeting. The farther you look, the more helpless you become. "Senior brother, I am no longer the Ruizhi I was when I was young."
Saying that, Taishang patted the black-haired old man's hand lightly, and said in a low voice: "It's not terrible to get it, the terrible thing is that there is none in front of you." The black-haired old man stared at Taishang with a sad face For a long time: "Hey, senior brother is right. Everyone has their own suffering, and we are not those in the West who practice Buddhism. How can we be 'blissful'? Hahahaha."
After laughing. The black-haired old man paused and asked again, "Senior brother. Who do you think will win the Huaguoshan battle?"
"I think?" Taishang thought for a while, then replied with a half-smile, "I don't know."
"You don't even know about Senior Brother?" The black-haired old man squinted at Tai Shang.
"I don't know."
"That's really 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 troops, should be the first in the heavenly court, could it be that he can still lose to a demon monkey in the lower realm. Can't it?"
Put the last piece in the box, Taishang raised his eyes and looked at the black-haired old man and said, "What does this win or lose have to do with us?"
The black-haired old man pouted: "That's true. Originally, humans were chosen to join the Heavenly Court to seek a balance between the top and bottom. In recent years, the Tianhe Navy has really suppressed the demons a little bit harder, and it has become the one that dominates the Heavenly Court among the Three Realms. The situation. If he loses, it will be fine, the demon clan will rise, and everything will return to the beginning.”…
"It's inevitable that one will grow and the other will grow, but it can't go back to the beginning."
"Why can't you return?" The black-haired old man was slightly taken aback.
stroked his long beard, Taishang sighed: "This time, the demon monkey is a bit special."
…
The confrontation went on for a full day, and the mighty army of more than 200,000 approached 300,000, just staring at it.
During this whole day, what the two sides did was limited to verbally scolding, but they didn't shoot.
Until sunset, the three prominent phalanxes of the Tianhe Navy began to retreat.
"Isn't it possible that you came here to demonstrate and leave?" The monkey waved casually: "Go ahead, don't let them just leave like this."
turned his face sideways, and the monkey said to the nine-headed worm: "I can't go away, how about you take the lead?"
"Okay." The Hydra nodded, turned into a black light and flew towards the front line.
The Huaguo Mountain Demon Army has been silent for a whole day with the war drums finally beating, and the demon soldiers deployed on the front line quickly cheered up and started to move forward.
The originally untidy troops slowly spread out to guard the twelve wooden battleships and moved forward slowly, and the faces with very different appearances exuded murderous aura.
Seeing that the demon army in Huaguoshan finally made a move, the three phalanxes that were retreating stopped immediately.
"Marshal." Tian Fu's eyes slowly slanted towards the canopy.
Touching his chin and pursing his lips, Tianpeng stared at the slowly advancing demon army battleship with a frown, and gestured: "The seventeenth and thirty squares on the left wing, the fifty-eighth and seventy-second squares on the right wing. , take the fifty-eighth phalanx as the criterion, and advance 800 zhang. The first and third phalanx of the Chinese army remain in place, and the second phalanx retreats 50 zhang to form a "one-character" array. Tian Ren continues to be in charge Vanguard command."
"No!"
While the messengers flew out, Tianpeng turned his head to the side general and said, "The central army retreats one hundred and fifty feet, and the left and right flanks advance six hundred feet in a formation of geese."
"No."
"Marshal is this...?"
"Try it." Tian Peng raised his head slightly, and tapped his fingers on the side of the boat unconsciously: "This monster monkey has a lot of tricks, and depending on the situation, he also knows a little bit about arranging troops. It's just the technique of changing the formation. I don't know how much."
…
"Aren't you going to withdraw?" The monkey stretched his head and looked at the fleet on the opposite side.
At this time, four new battle formations have been slowly moved out of the Tianhe Navy's fleet, which converged with the original three battle formations in front, and changed rapidly.
But the monkey is more concerned about the change of the rear formation.
The formation, which was originally a rectangular layout, began to compress. The two wings stretched out towards Huaguo Mountain. It was as if a mouth opened wide ready to swallow the protruding part of the demon army.
"Do you want Hydra to stop advancing?". Shortly asked.
"No. They continue to advance. We are also advancing with the entire army, maintaining a distance of five miles and ready to support at any time. The Hydra is inside, there is nothing to worry about."
"Row."
"and many more."
"kindness?"
"The two wings are moved forward, and we will set up a formation of geese. By the way, assign the long barrels to the two wings. The Vulcan ship moves forward and is ready to charge at any time!"
As the command flag waved, the demon army slowly changed its formation.
"Looking at the situation, I really want a quick solution." Tian Peng opened his eyes slightly.
"We still don't know the opponent's trump card. This is not good, Marshal." Tianfu said.
"It's not very good, it's just a pretense. If they retreat now, they will definitely pounce. Although it won't endanger the entire army, it will definitely cause casualties. There is no need for it to turn into a rout. "Speaking, Tianpeng pointed to a member of the heavenly general beside him and said: "The central army retreats another fifty feet, twenty, twenty-five, thirty-four, thirty-nine, forty-one, forty-seven, Fifty-two and fifty-six phalanxes, exchange positions in pairs, the rest of the battle formations move forward twenty feet, and the archers are ready to shoot. Refuse the flow array to prevent the other party from being remote.”…
"No."
The days to be summoned will be gone. Tianpeng raised his head slightly and sighed: "This monkey obviously doesn't know much about arranging troops. But he is also smart and took the easiest way to deal with it. Well, that's fine, we can have an advantage. Just try our best to deal with it. It is enough to avoid getting caught in a war situation and move forward and retreat freely.”
Countless warships left the phalanx and sailed forward, turning the rudder and placing the warships in front of the formation. After that, the phalanx of the Tianhe Navy was mobilized as frequently as a swirling bee, but it was neat and tidy.
That lineup made the monkey's eyes twitch.
The overall formation has not changed, but almost every part of the formation has been fine-tuned. The key is that it has become too fast, and the monkeys are confused, let alone judge.
"Some things really don't just require reading a few books."
"What now?" Short mouth asked.
"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 already less than 300 feet. Under the command of Tian Ren, the seven Tianhe Shui Army formations at the front had already drawn their bows to the fullest, and all the swordsmen and halberds were all drawn. Prepared for the attack of the demon army.
Three hundred zhang is the effective killing distance of the Tianhe Navy's bow and arrow troops, and since the demon army is wearing heavy armor, this distance must be shortened to two hundred zhang.
Just as the hydra 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 it, I'm trying so hard, you told me to stop attacking?"
"Not to stop the attack, but to make you wait."
Looking back, Hydra saw dozens of wooden warships swept past him and rushed towards the enemy.
These battleships are the battleships without rams that Tianjiang previously reported to the canopy!
Before entering the range of the Tianhe Navy, the demon soldiers guarding the battleship had already dispersed.
"What do they want? Crash with these wrecked ships?". All the heavenly soldiers stretched their heads.
The canopy was also slightly taken aback.
"Could it be used to block arrows?"
Soon, these warships entered the range of the Tianhe Navy, but the troops led by the Hydra in the rear did not keep up.
In the bouts of doubt, Tian Ren tentatively ordered a round of arrows to be fired, and the silver-white arrows shot on the battleship, piercing the canvas, and some even pierced the wooden board directly, but there was no trace of it. Decreases the speed of the battleship.
These battleships are still rushing towards the direction of the Tianhe Navy.
"If it goes on like this, it will directly hit the battleship in the front, right? A lot of words"
"Can this destroyer crash our battleship?".
"Don't say it crashed, it's even hard to break the gap!"
No one doubts the tenacity of the steel warships deployed by the Tianhe Navy to block them at the forefront.
But at this moment, the rear hatches of these wooden warships opened, and hundreds of monsters fluttered out of them!
"Not good—! Dodge quickly!" Tianpeng exclaimed fiercely.
"Boom—"
Before the words fell, I saw that the wooden battleships had already slammed into the battleships of the Tianhe Navy. Then, they were torn apart under everyone's attention. In the roar, they turned into a wave-like fire that engulfed the battleships, together with the battleships. The army behind...
Nezha in the distance slipped his hand and almost fell down.
