Chapter 719: Entering Fengyuan Again
Clouds rise from the stream and the sun sinks into the pavilion; a mountain storm is about to come and the wind fills the building.
With the departure of Wei Changtian and Tang Chen, the Freemasonry was temporarily "frozen" by force, and Chu Xianping's rebellion seemed to have come to an end for the time being.
But everyone knows that this is just the beginning.
Just like the calm before the storm, what Chu Xianping really wants to do has not yet begun, and no one knows what will happen next.
The truth behind this can only be found out by Wei Changtian.
As for the others, no matter how huge the waves are ahead, they must keep moving forward.
At midnight that night, Han Zhao, who took over the command of the 300,000-man army, gave an order and the army, which had rested in Huailing City for a day, moved out of camp again and marched westward, slowly advancing towards the former Dafeng Yanmen Prefecture, now Xinfeng Yanmen County.
Of course, Yanmen County has already been occupied by Qianhui and other countries.
This means that at most in three days, the two countries of Ning and Shu will face off against the two countries of Qian and Hui on the battlefield for the first time.
Will the two countries of Qianhui, whose main forces are besieging Fengyuan, set up defenses?
Should he delay? Fight to the death? Or should he just let them go without resistance? Han Zhao didn't care.
When enemies come, we will fight them; when water comes, we will block it with earth. He has an army of 300,000 and the powerful combination of "Tengu Army and black gunpowder". He doesn't think that the mere tens of thousands of defenders in Yanmen County can cause any trouble.
To put it bluntly, this war will most likely, or will definitely, be decided under the city of Fengyuan.
As a general of Daning and a veteran of many battles, it has to be said that Han Zhao's judgment of the situation was very accurate.
Three days later, when the army arrived at Yanmen City, there was indeed no one guarding the city wall.
In this way, 300,000 reinforcements entered Yanmen County unimpeded and moved one step closer to Fengyuan.
If they encounter no resistance along the way, it would only take them about seven or eight days to reach the outskirts of the Fengyuan battlefield.
By then, it would be impossible for Qian and Hui to avoid war.
A decision must be made at that time whether to continue fighting or to withdraw to the homeland in disgrace.
Oh, that's not right.
For the two countries of Qianhui, they actually have a third way to go -
That is to capture Fengyuan before the Ningshu reinforcements arrive.
Xinfeng, Tianshui County.
His gaze turned to Wei Changtian.
Just as Han Zhao led 300,000 men to advance into Yanmen City, he and Tang Chen had already arrived in Tianshui County, which was closest to Fengyuan.
He was able to move at such a fast speed even when he needed to conceal his whereabouts. It was obvious that Wei Changtian was really anxious this time.
Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way.
"Master Wei, how are we going to get into Fengyuan City next?"
Standing on a not-so-high earthen slope, next to Tang Chen and Wei Changtian was a makeshift outpost. Several scouts there had turned into corpses, lying in a pool of blood.
Tang Chen looked at the endless stretch of tents in the distance, then at Wei Changtian with a calm expression. He wondered how they were going to get through the military camps of the Qian and Hui countries and enter Fengyuan City.
Wei Changtian didn't waste any time and quickly took out two pieces of talisman paper from his arms.
[Avoidance Talisman: A one-time item, used when no one is watching. It can hide the user's figure and breath. This effect lasts for 60 minutes. 300 points]
The last time Zhang San and Huang Sheng followed the Jue Ji coalition in Tianshan, Wei Changtian gave them two avoidance talismans just in case.
However, they didn't use it, so Wei Changtian took it back.
That’s perfect, I don’t have to change it this time.
"Master Tang, this talisman is called Bi Xing."
With just a few simple words, Wei Changtian explained to Tang Chen how to use and the effects of the avoidance talisman.
The latter was naturally very surprised after hearing this, and the look he gave towards the talisman paper became different.
Wei Changtian knew what he was thinking. After hesitating for a moment, he said softly, "Mr. Tang, I know you must have a lot of questions about me."
"Including the scene you saw during the peace talks in Zishan Hall. Although you have never asked me about it, you must have many questions in your mind."
"These things are a long story. I will tell you when the time is right."
"As for now, let's get down to business first."
“.”
"Yes, everything is as you say."
Although Tang Chen didn't know what "right timing" meant, he still nodded seriously.
One doesn't ask, the other doesn't answer.
The two men stayed on the small slope for a while, took a short rest, then went down the slope and headed straight for the Qianhui army camp in the distance.
The effect of the avoidance talisman can only last for one hour, or half an hour.
This time is not short, but it is not enough for them to run from here to Fengyuan.
So they need to get closer.
The afternoon sun was strong. The sunlight fell down and passed through the gaps between the branches and leaves, turning into golden arrows.
The strong wind blew past my ears, blowing up the dead leaves and revealing the clumps of weeds that were just beginning to sprout underneath.
The two of them moved quickly through the forest without saying a word, and after about an hour they stopped by a small river.
After crossing the river, on the other side was the settlement camp of Qianhui's army. Looking around, one could see flags flying and swords and arrows like a forest.
After passing through the military camp, you will arrive at the city of Fengyuan, which is also the main battlefield of the Battle of Xinfeng.
"Boom boom"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A dull and suppressed roar rolled in from the front, mixed with the faint sounds of fighting.
It is obvious that there is a fierce battle going on outside Fengyuan city.
Or perhaps it could be said that there have been fierce battles here every day for the past half month.
Wei Changtian didn't know the exact number of deaths in the Fengyuan attack and defense battle.
However, according to intelligence, at least 200,000 people were killed on both sides.
Two hundred thousand.
Even though most of them were soldiers from Daqian and Dahui, Xinfeng, which was extremely inferior in military strength, must have reached its final stage of desperation.
At present, it will take seven or eight days for the Ningshu reinforcements to arrive.
Therefore, I don’t know what other tricks Xu Suisui has not used yet. Shaking his head and putting these questions behind him, Wei Changtian reached out and took out the evasive talisman.
Seeing this, Tang Chen beside him also took the talisman paper in his hand.
The two looked at each other, their expressions were very calm, but what they were thinking at the moment were slightly different.
For Tang Chen, following Wei Changtian into Fengyuan this time was a huge risk.
But for Li Zimu, he did what he said that night: "do his best to help."
As for Wei Changtian, to be honest, he brought Tang Chen with him this time, partly to take advantage of the latter's "mind-reading" ability.
On the other hand, he actually has a more "cruel" purpose . You know, although his relationship with Xu Suisui has eased due to the incident of the Seventh Demon Land, it doesn't necessarily mean that they have "reconciled".
Therefore, he had to prepare for the worst.
That means falling out with Xu Suisui again.
There is no doubt that if they really fall out, his situation will become extremely dangerous.
Xu Suisui has Buddhism, Qin Zhengqiu, Shen Ran and her brother Xu Quan, and maybe even Chu Xianping.
And what about yourself?
Once he entered Fengyuan, Wei Changtian didn't think he could defeat so many people by himself.
At that time, the only thing I can rely on is the system.
【System point: 1630】
There are 1,630 points left, which is not a small number, but it is hard to say whether it will be enough.
Therefore, another role of Tang Chen is... "Mr. Tang, let's go."
Injecting a trace of internal energy into the avoidance talisman, Wei Changtian said the last sentence expressionlessly.
"yes."
Tang Chen immediately followed suit and also crushed the talisman paper in his hand.
A gust of wind blew, and the reddish river water rushed forward, making a rustling sound as it clashed with the pebbles.
On the shore, the two figures had disappeared.
