Chapter 458: One Against Ten Thousand (Part 2)
“Boom! Boom!!”
"Bang!"
“Ding ding dang dang!!”
“Kill him!!”
“.”
At one o'clock in the evening, under the thick darkness, a huge number of soldiers dressed in green and yellow armor were already fighting in one place.
However, Liang Zhen, the commander, did not charge into the battle, but reined in his horse and watched the battle ahead from afar.
As in the previous plan, the southwest direction was indeed the weakest link in the entire encirclement, and there were only about six or seven thousand enemies facing the Shu army.
Although these six or seven thousand people can still barely organize an effective defense, the Shu army has nearly 50,000 people after all. It is estimated that they can break through the defense line in two quarters of an hour at most, and then there will be no obstacles in front of them.
In two quarters of an hour, the nearest reinforcements of the imperial army would not be able to arrive here, so there is a high probability that there will be no accidents in this battle.
The only person who didn't know where Wei Changtian had gone.
Although Wei Changtian had already told Xu Suisui before he went to see him that if he hadn't returned by the hour of Hai, then don't worry about him and just act according to the plan.
Although Liang Zhen did start his breakout at the hour of Hai as planned, and everything has been going smoothly so far.
But the Shu army's vanguard troops had already advanced ten miles, and Wei Changtian had not caught up yet, so he was still a little worried.
"Mr. Chu."
Turning his head to look at Chu Xianping beside him, Liang Zhen asked in a low voice: "Hasn't Changtian sent you a message yet?"
"No."
Chu Xianping also frowned at this time, with a serious expression: "I have sent a message to the spies left in the city, asking them to go find someone."
"Do you think Changtian is still in the city?"
Liang Zhen was stunned: "What is so important?"
"I have no idea."
Shaking his head, Chu Xianping gently pulled the reins: "But if something big happened, the young master would have sent me a message, so I guess it's nothing serious."
"General Liang, let's just follow the plan and hurry up to break out. I believe the young master will be fine."
"Um."
Liang Zhen nodded, knowing that it was useless to think about this now.
In Yuanzhou, Wei Changtian was able to rescue him and Liang Qin from thousands of troops in such a desperate situation, so there would be no danger now.
No matter how dangerous it is, it can't be more dangerous than being surrounded by tens of thousands of people. So as Chu Xianping said, the most important thing now is to lead the Shu army out of the siege as soon as possible.
Having made up his mind, Liang Zhen no longer worried about Wei Changtian, but immediately issued a series of orders, vowing to end this breakout battle as quickly as possible.
But what he didn't know was that Wei Changtian's current situation was actually more dangerous than before in Yuanzhou.
And if Wei Changtian did not take the initiative to put himself in such a dangerous situation, the Shu army would completely lose the possibility of breaking out successfully.
That's right.
Wei Changtian wanted to use his own strength to delay the Zhenshan Camp that was rushing towards the Shu army.
Outside Guanghan City, twelve miles south.
Somewhere on a low hill, or rather a small slope, two figures were looking down at the dark official road below.
The rumbling sound of horse hooves came from afar, and in the distance there was endless flames.
About a hundred breaths later, the cavalry of Zhenshan Camp will arrive here first, followed by nearly 40,000 infantry.
And at that time, Wei Changtian will be alone to face the entire army.
"Do you have the Qing Jue Jade Pendant?"
Still with his upper body naked, Wei Changtian calmly asked Xu Suisui beside him: "Do you need a piece?"
“.”
Looking at the man in front of him whose temperament was completely different from before, Xu Suisui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head silently.
"No, I have it."
"good."
Wei Changtian nodded and handed Xu Suisui a dagger: "Find a place to hide later, and find a chance to go down the mountain after the fight is over."
"If you are still found, I suggest you commit suicide immediately to avoid being caught and tortured."
"I don't think you would want to try the methods of forced confession in this era."
“.”
Biting his lip as he took the dagger, Xu Suisui hesitated for a moment and then asked in a low voice: "Where should I go to find you after I trigger the Qing Jue Jade Pendant and escape?"
"If I can delay long enough, I'll go to Niutou Mountain."
"If I can't delay too long, then I'll go to Shuzhou City."
After a pause, Wei Changtian talked about the third situation.
"If you can't find me in Shuzhou City, it means I'm dead."
"die?"
Xu Suisui's eyes suddenly widened, and the next moment he took out a piece of ancient jade from his arms and handed it to Wei Changtian.
"Don't you have the Qingjue Jade Pendant? I'll give this to you!"
"No, I have enough points to exchange for it."
Unexpectedly, Wei Changtian did not take advantage in vain this time.
He just shook his head and explained with a smile: "The Qingjue Jade Pendant is randomly transmitted. There is no guarantee that they will find it by then, and my luck has never been good."
"Well, do you need anything else?"
Xu Suisui didn't know why she suddenly felt her eyes moisten: "I still have a lot of points, I can help you change them!"
"A lot of points? Did you just earn them?"
"I"
"Hahaha, okay, just kidding."
Under Xu Suisui's complicated gaze, Wei Changtian laughed heartily twice, then lowered his head slightly.
"I'm sorry, I've been doubting you."
"Now that I think about it, I'm actually quite funny, like a circus clown."
“No, it’s not!”
Xu Suisui took a step closer with some excitement, eager to say something.
However, Wei Changtian suddenly turned his head at this moment and looked at the vast number of cavalrymen whose figures had emerged at the end of the official road.
"Okay, I should go now."
“.”
Xu Suisui knew that Wei Changtian was deliberately preventing her from saying the rest of the words.
But just as the latter turned around and walked a few steps away, she couldn't help but tremble and shouted:
"You should know that you don't have to do this!"
"If you don't go, the result might be better!"
“.”
If you don't go, the results may be better.
When Xu Suisui shouted this sentence out of unknown mentality, Wei Changtian's guess about the truth was finally fully verified.
He paused and looked back in the night.
"What? You don't even want to earn system points?"
"I-I don't care!"
"But I care."
Suddenly, Wei Changtian's tone became extremely serious.
He looked up at the deep and mysterious sky, and slowly uttered the last sentence as if he was talking to himself.
"I just don't want to be a clown and play a play whose ending I already know."
"That's too boring."
“.”
I am willing to use my small and humble strength to fight against this ordinary fate.
There are dozens of stars under the shadow of the bright river.
Under Xu Suisui's stunned eyes, Wei Changtian leaped into the darkness as deep as a dark pool, and appeared on the official road a dozen breaths later.
He just stood there blankly and alone, waiting for the dust in the distance to roll towards him.
Then at a certain moment, the sky and the earth seemed to be turned upside down, and hundreds of stars suddenly appeared around him.
The stars are shining over every house, and the moon is high in the sky.
Hundreds of stars emit the same fluorescent color, and it is unclear whether they are refracted real starlight or sword-like beams mixed with the power of "momentum".
Xu Suisui watched all this with tearful eyes, watching the tiny figure surrounded by countless stars, turning into a ray of light and rushing straight forward.
It's like a galaxy that has escaped the constraints of the sky. (End of this chapter)
