Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 573 Two Armies
The air on the top of the mountain is somewhat thinner and the temperature is lower than that at the bottom of the mountain.

The height is not cold.

At this time, the forest was extremely silent, only the sound of chess pieces hitting could be heard.

pat, pat, pat.

Originally, there were still whispers among the crowd, but at some point, there was only the sound of chess pieces falling on the top of the mountain.

On the highest platform of this mountain, most of the people's eyes were focused on the two players who were playing chess, silently commenting.

The eyes of the other practitioners who were eliminated before were all focused on the large vertical chessboard standing on the examiner's high platform, which displayed every move played by the two in real time.

For the last two remaining players, some people are not convinced, some want to steal the master, and more people want to see what makes the chess of these two people different from others.
But after Ying Baoyue and He Lancheng made their first ten moves, many practitioners were a little disappointed.

The first ten moves of Ying Baoyue and He Lancheng were all quite satisfactory, and they didn't even have the amazing coups that would appear from time to time in the previous quarter-finals.

"These two people..." However, as the chess game gradually unfolded, Jiang Yuanyuan's expression on the high platform gradually became unbelievable, and Ji Jiashu knew why he had this expression.

because……

"The two actually chose the same tactics..."

There were whispers among the other examiners who were watching.

That's right, tactics.

Ji Jiashu fixedly watched the chess game between the two.

Tactics are the means chosen by chess players to achieve victory, and the formation formed by the tactics is the so-called layout.

However, there are generally two types of battles, that is, attack and defense.

Chess is no exception.There will be an introduction to the basic layout methods in the chess records for beginners.

Facing an opponent with a fierce attack, generally use a classic defensive formation to defend, and then wait for the opponent to make a mistake at last, and come back against the wind; while facing an opponent with a solid defense, generally use an offensive formation, and you can also use lures and traps to lure the opponent into being fooled. Breakthrough.

Although the specific operation methods are different, these are the two most common and effective tactics, and they need to be thoroughly implemented to achieve success.

But as I said before, tactics change with the opponent's style, especially in the prologue.

For example, if your opponent is an offensive chess player, as long as the practitioner does not want to be unconventional, he will choose defensive tactics.

Someone once sneered at such a rotten coping method, but after losing a few games of chess, they would know the wisdom of their ancestors.

After all, if the opponent attacks and you also attack blindly, it is very likely that if you kill the enemy by one thousand, you will lose eight hundred.

This is the truth that any beginner who has learned Go for more than three days knows.

however……

The practitioners in the audience stared at the stage in disbelief. The battle at the top of the elementary grand ceremony, the prologue between Ying Baoyue and He Lancheng, actually used the same tactics.

"What's going on?" Chen Zichu from the audience asked in amazement, "Both of them are defending?"

If you don't understand the opponent's style at the beginning, it is understandable that the tactics will collide.But at this time, it was the tenth move, and the practitioners off the court could see the clues. No one would believe that the practitioners who fought among the two people would not be able to see it.

The black and white chess pieces on the chessboard are clearly separated, and they are slowly building their own formation, but they can't see the attack at all, nor can they see the direction of the next game.

"What kind of layout is this?" Chen Zichu asked in amazement.

"This is wrestling." At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded beside him.

Xu Yishan, Guichen, Ji Qingyuan and the others on the side were startled, and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Chen Zihan suddenly appearing behind Chen Zichu at some point.

"You... are you trying to scare me to death?"

Chen Zichu, who was so frightened that he almost jumped up, glared at his younger brother who walked more silently after the first round of crowd battle, as if he wanted to blend in with nature, but before he could get angry, there were other voices asking questions around him. .

"Second Master Chen, what do you mean by wrestling?"

Seeing Chen Zihan appear, everyone's eyes lit up.As we all know, Chen Zihan is the best chess player on the field who is good at layout. Seeing him appearing, Gui Chen immediately asked.

Chen Zichu, who was about to get angry, instantly returned to his previous doubts, and also looked at Chen Zihan.

"Wrestling refers to the tactics of defending first and then attacking." Chen Zihan said.

Wrestling originally refers to hand-to-hand combat, but in war chess, it has acquired a completely opposite meaning, that is, to compare strength after the two sides are ready.

The defense in the early game is a long process of accumulating strength, the middle game is a long battle for all-round control of the board, and the final game is the climax of fighting, just like a real wrestling, fighting with all your strength.

It heats up slowly in the early stage, and it's on the verge of firing in the later stage.

This is the layout of wrestling.

However, this kind of layout has very strict requirements on the practitioner's chess strength, and it is basically not seen in the elementary ceremony, and even Chen Zihan himself rarely knows how to use it.

"You can't close the game well, and you still want to compete with others?"

It's just because his master who stole two lessons said that inexperienced boys are not qualified to wrestle.

"No experience? What kind of experience?" Hearing Chen Zihan's slow introduction, Gui Li curiously asked what the other people were thinking.

Chen Zihan glanced at the chessboard on the observatory, and said slowly.

"Experience on the battlefield."

"The battlefield?" Gui Li Gui Chen Ji An Ge and the others gasped, wondering how the chess game involved the real battlefield even though it was based on some tactics.

"Because this wrestling is very similar to a real war, isn't it?" Ji Qingyuan said suddenly at this moment.

Everyone was startled when they heard the words.

First collect troops and buy horses to prepare for the start of the war, then occupy favorable terrain and fight a few victories, and finally concentrate on fighting among the main forces.

This is a whole war.

Ji Jiashu looked up at the two chess moves that were constantly expanding on the big chessboard.

At this time, the black and white pieces on the chessboard are exactly two armies that are constantly forming in size.

But neither of them took the lead in attacking.

"The chess styles of these two people..." Jiang Yuanyuan pondered on the high platform, "It seems a bit similar..."

Ji Jiashu was taken aback when he heard the words, but compared to the similar styles, he actually had more secret worries in his heart when he saw the black and white chess pieces that began to compete for the board.

Only because compared with the short-term attack and defense, the wrestling that decides the winner in the end takes far longer than the general chess game layout.

What is at stake is the ultimate final game ability, but chess pieces can fight endlessly, but humans cannot.

The sun is getting hotter and hotter, and with the sweat gradually dripping from the ears, people realize that it is almost noon.

However, there is still anxiety on the chessboard, and there is still no fierce conflict, not so much that there is no fierce conflict...

"Wait," amidst the drowsiness of the crowd, a thin young man suddenly said in another group of Northern Wei people that few people noticed, "This sequence is wrong."

Mo Hua looked thoughtfully at Meng Shi who realized something was wrong.

At this time, the high-level practitioners gradually realized that something was wrong with this game of chess.

As for what was wrong, Ji Jiashu's pupils shrank on the high platform.

Although the wrestling took a long time to prepare in the early stage, it didn't take that long.

The black pieces on the chessboard seem to be avoiding the white pieces blindly.

Ji Jiashu looked at the figure hidden under the tree in the distance, he guessed some, but he didn't expect more, couldn't think of it.

Tuoba Xun actually began to prolong the game deliberately at the beginning of the prologue!
