Chapter 477 Nothing is Impossible
I came here today to kill them all.
When Wei Changtian said this very casually, You Wenzon's body suddenly trembled uncontrollably, as if he had heard a lame and funny, yet spine-chilling horror story.
You have to know that these are more than 200,000 high-ranking warriors.
Not to mention that Wei Changtian is only a third-grade rank, even if he is a first-grade rank, or even a true immortal, it is absolutely impossible for him to fulfill this statement.
So, why did Wei Changtian dare to say that? What was his purpose? "Mr. Wei"
After a brief moment of daze, You Wenzong stared at the man in black robe opposite him and said calmly: "This joke is not funny."
"joke?"
A hint of arrogant sneer appeared on Wei Changtian's lips: "Master You, I just said that everything I said is true."
"Oh? Then I wonder what you are going to do?"
You Wenzong also showed a hint of sarcasm: "Since you can annihilate my army immediately, can you let me die knowingly?"
"Hahaha, of course."
Wei Changtian laughed twice and walked step by step to a position only one step away from You Wenzon, causing the surrounding soldiers to instantly become extremely nervous.
However, neither of them looked at the yellow-armored soldiers who were holding their weapons tightly.
"Master You, didn't you and Ning Yongnian think that I set an ambush on Niutou Mountain?"
"Tsk tsk, actually your guess is pretty close."
"I did set up an ambush, but not in Niutou Mountain, but right here."
"here?!"
You Wenzon suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the vague, endless black line in the darkness in the distance.
Wei Changtian glanced at him, then continued with some emotion:
"To be honest, if you really change your route to Jinyuan, then my plan will be in vain."
"But luck seems to be on my side now."
"Master You, you can't escape."
"impossible!"
Suddenly, You Wenzong’s expression turned cold, and he interrupted with a sneer: “Mr. Wei, you don’t have to bluff here!”
"Before our army set out, we had already scouted all the routes along the way. There was no ambush at all!"
"What's more, you only have 30,000 Shu troops left. Even with the tens of thousands of Li troops, there are only a mere 100,000. How can you compete with my army of nearly 300,000?!"
"Master Wei, do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?!"
“.”
You Wenzon's voice suddenly became louder, and his words were clearly heard by many people.
Noticing that the atmosphere between the two men had suddenly become tense, several lieutenants had drawn their weapons, ready to rush into the encirclement to rescue them at any time.
Although it would probably be too late for them when that time comes, they still have to show their attitude.
After all, no matter what, You Wenzon was the military commander appointed by Ning Yongnian. It would be a bit unreasonable if he died just like that.
However, Wei Changtian still had no intention of taking action.
He just smiled at You Wenzon and pointed at the sand and gravel on the ground with the tip of his knife.
"Master You, what do you think is strange about these gravels?"
“.”
Although he didn't know what conspiracy Wei Changtian was plotting, You Wenzong still subconsciously looked down.
Finger-sized stones and yellow sand were mixed on the surface of the loose soil, and at first glance there was nothing unusual.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, You Wenzong was just about to speak.
But before he could finish his words, he suddenly froze again.
Because You Wenzon found that the sand and gravel under his feet seemed to be shaking slightly.
The amplitude of this tremor is very small, but it does exist, as if it were caused by thousands of troops rushing in the distance.
However, intelligence showed that the Shu army had already passed Niutou Mountain and headed for Shuzhou City, and most of the Dali reinforcements were still on their way to Shuzhou! So where did these troops come from? ! Looking at Wei Changtian in great astonishment, You Wenzong suddenly leaned over to the ground, staring at the grains of sand with wide eyes, thinking that he had just seen it wrong.
But it turns out this is not an illusion.
Even when the vibration of sand and gravel became more and more obvious, and the "boom" like thunder in the distance became louder and louder, fear appeared in You Wenzon's eyes for the first time.
"How, how is it possible?"
He grabbed a handful of sand with trembling hands, and turned to look to the west along with the tens of thousands of soldiers around him who had also noticed something was wrong.
You Wenzon couldn't figure out how Wei Changtian managed to summon the "divine soldiers from heaven", and he had no idea where these soldiers came from.
Until Wei Changtian also bent down and squatted in front of him, leaning on the Leaking Shadow Knife, and said with a smile:
"Master You, do you know what is to the west?"
“.”
You Wenzon suddenly raised his head, and in an instant an almost absurd guess popped up in his mind.
This was a possibility he had never thought of, simply because it was too unbelievable.
But at this moment, this seems to be the only answer.
"Ten, a hundred thousand mountains."
Your Adam's apple moved, You Wenzon's voice trembled, and his expression was a little dull.
Wei Changtian looked at him like this, smiled and asked again:
"So, Master You, what's in the Shiwan Mountains?"
"Yao, Yao, it's impossible!"
You Wenzon shook his head violently, almost instinctively wanting to deny it.
But before he could finish his next words, he heard several cries of extreme fear from afar.
The shouting mixed with the sound of hurried horse hooves should have come from the scouts who were on guard nearby.
"Beast Tide!!!"
"A beast tide is coming!!!"
"ah!!!"
“.”
The shouting stopped at a certain moment, and the ground beneath their feet began to shake even more violently, and after just a few breaths, it reached a level that made it impossible to stand steadily.
You Wenzon looked at Wei Changtian with blank eyes, and watched the latter slowly stand up with an expressionless face and gently raise the long sword in his hand.
In the distance, countless monsters have appeared in the darkness, like an endless black wave rolling in.
"Master You, nothing is impossible."
"Oh, please tell Ning Yongnian this as well, of course, provided you can live to see tomorrow's sunrise."
“.”
Wei Changtian’s last words were drowned out in my ears in an instant.
While everyone was still in a daze, hundreds of golden rays suddenly appeared and soon transformed into a golden dragon dozens of feet long.
The golden dragon tumbled several times in the air with an extremely majestic momentum, and then led the black beast tide, leaped forward, and slammed into the army formation.
The next day.
The capital of Daning.
Wei Xianzhi led his men to surround the imperial palace, Dafeng surrendered, and the army that went to suppress the rebellion encountered a tide of beasts.
In just three days, three major events occurred.
When breaking news comes too frequently, people have become more or less immune to it, so most of them are not as excited as before.
Besides, although the army suffered considerable losses as a result, it is said that only 60,000 to 70,000 people died, which would not affect the overall situation of the war.
The only thing is that this time the beast tide came in a really strange way.
You have to know that Daning has not experienced such a thing for hundreds of years. Normally, it is difficult for people to even see a group of monsters, let alone such a beast tide that gathers 100,000 monsters.
So what was the cause of the beast tide? Why did they happen to collide with the imperial army? Someone with good information said that this matter had something to do with Wei Changtian. It was he who colluded with the demon king and wanted to use the demons to destroy the imperial army.
Whether analyzing from the existing evidence or the motives, such a statement is very tenable, so the impression of Wei Changtian among the people of Daning has plummeted again.
After all, treason is just an internal conflict of the country, and even collusion with foreign enemies such as Dali and Dafeng can at most be regarded as an internal conflict of the human race.
But if they collude with the demon clan, that would be an act of "treason"!
Therefore, except for Shuzhou, almost all the people in Daning cursed Wei Changtian, while secretly feeling lucky that the latter's trick did not succeed.
However, for Ning Yongnian, he did not feel the slightest bit of relief at this moment.
“Nothing is impossible.”
He kept repeating the words that Wei Changtian asked You Wenzong to convey to him, and the red pen in his hand suddenly broke into two pieces with a "snap".
"So, this is your backup plan?"
"I don't underestimate you."
Mao time, Shuzhou.
Three hours have passed since the beast tide ended, but the aftermath work has not yet been completed, which is enough to show how brutal last night's battle was.
Although Wei Changtian's words of "killing everyone" were not realized, the imperial army still paid the price of more than 60,000 people to kill all the 100,000 invading monsters.
This was the greatest loss the imperial court had ever experienced since the Battle of Shu Province began. Together with the wounded, the army's combat-capable soldiers were instantly reduced from 300,000 to 200,000 after this battle.
Even though they still have an absolute advantage over the Shu army, if all the Dali reinforcements can arrive in Shuzhou, the outcome of this war will become really unclear.
Therefore, the army's next move becomes particularly important.
It was even so important that Han Zhao could no longer make the decision.
"General Han, hasn't the emperor issued an order yet?"
In the main account, You Wenzon, with a pale face, had asked this question for the third time within an hour.
Han Zhao shook his head for the third time.
"Lord You, the army's next move is of great importance, so the emperor must consider it carefully."
"You were injured last night, so why don't you go back and get some rest. I'll let you know immediately if there's any news."
"No need, I'll wait here."
Shaking his head, You Wenzon did not move at all, clearly intending to wait until Ning Yongnian sent the latest instructions.
The tent curtains swayed, and the smell of blood filled the quiet tent.
In fact, not only You Wenzon is waiting, but Han Zhao is also waiting.
Even Chu Xianping, who was far away at the Niutou Mountain Pass, and Wei Changtian, who was on his way to Niutou Mountain, were waiting for Ning Yongnian's final choice.
"Da Da Da, Da Da Da"
On the official road a hundred miles away from the main battlefield last night, Wei Changtian was galloping on his horse, holding the reins in one hand and tightly grasping a piece of mother-and-child jade in the other, for fear of missing the message from Han Zhao.
To attract the beast tide in advance was all he could do.
According to the original plan, these 100,000 monsters were supposed to wait until the imperial army was defeated and retreating at Niutou Mountain and then suddenly attack and deal a fatal blow to the latter.
But since Ning Yongnian suddenly decided to go to Jinyuan, Wei Changtian had to move this step forward.
Undoubtedly, the disadvantage of doing so was that the lethality of the beast tide was reduced to a minimum, consuming only 60,000 troops.
The benefit is that it gives Ning Yongnian an opportunity to change his mind again.
First of all, the beast tide has already appeared, so Ning Yongnian will most likely believe that there is no ambush in Niutou Mountain.
Secondly, the loss of 60,000 troops from the imperial army also forced Ning Yongnian to end the battle as soon as possible before the reinforcements from Dali arrived in Shuzhou.
It is too slow to take the Jinyuan route at this time, and reinforcements from Dali will surely arrive by then.
Therefore, if Ning Yongnian wanted to maintain his military advantage, he had to take Niutou Mountain.
Of course, he also has another choice, which is to fight a protracted war.
But this is definitely not what Wei Changtian wants to see. Facing the setting sun, the shadow of the warhorse is stretched very long.
Wei Changtian just rode forward silently, and then suddenly at a certain moment his eyes widened slightly.
Nearly four hours later, the mother-and-child jade finally became hot again!
Ning Yongnian has sent a message to Han Zhao! Subconsciously holding his breath, Wei Changtian did not take out the code book, but just tightly grasped the mother-and-child jade.
In order to make it easier for Han Zhao to deliver the message, he had already made arrangements with the latter in advance.
The burning of jade meant that Ning Yongnian had ordered them to rest on the spot.
Yu Zhuo struck twice, indicating that the army would still change its route to Jinyuan.
The three strikes of the jade symbolized that the army would leave for Niutou Mountain.
“.”
The smooth jade body in my hand became hot and then cooled down.
A moment later, the second time, the setting sun like a fireball rolled behind the western hills, leaving a touch of sunset glow on the horizon.
A few birds are flying towards the afterglow of the setting sun, as if they want to fly up to the sky to see what is there.
Wei Changtian had never felt that a breath could be so long.
The mother and child jade in the palm suddenly became hot again.
The third time.
