At a quarter of the hour, under the dense darkness of night, a vast wave of soldiers wearing green and yellow armor were already fighting in one place.
However, as the commander-in-chief, Liang Zhen did not charge into the battle, but reined in his horse and watched the battle ahead from a distance.
As in the previous plan, the southwest direction is indeed the weakest link in the entire encirclement. There are only about six to seven thousand enemies facing the Shu army.
Although these six to seven thousand people can still barely organize an effective blockade, the Shu army has nearly fifty thousand 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 more obstacles in front of them.
In two quarters of an hour, the nearest reinforcements from the imperial army would not be able to arrive, so there is a high probability that there will be no surprises in this battle.
The only one who didn't know where Wei Changtian ran away was.
Although Wei Changtian had already said before he went to Xu Suisui that if he hadn't come back by Haishi, he should leave him alone and just act as planned.
Although Liang Zhen did start to break through at Haishi as planned, and everything has gone smoothly so far.
But the vanguard of the Shu army had already moved ten miles away, but Wei Changtian hadn't followed yet... He was still a little uneasy after all.
"Master Chu."
Turning 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 an order to the spies left in the city to find the person."
"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 reined in the reins lightly: "But if something big happens, Master will probably send a message to me, so I guess it's nothing important."
"General Liang, we should hurry up and break out as planned. I believe the young master will be fine."
"Um."
Liang Zhen nodded, knowing that it was useless to ponder this now.
When they were in Yuanzhou, Wei Changtian was able to rescue him and Liang Qin from thousands of troops in that desperate situation, and presumably nothing would happen now.
No matter how dangerous it is, it can't be more dangerous than being surrounded by thousands of people...
So as Chu Xianping said, it is most important to lead the Shu army to break out of the encirclement 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 when he was in Yuanzhou.
And if Wei Changtian did not take the initiative to get into this dangerous situation, then the Shu army would completely lose the possibility of a successful breakout.
That's right.
Wei Changtian wanted to use his own power to delay Zhenshan Camp, which was charging towards the Shu army.
...
...
Outside Guanghan City, twelve miles south.
Somewhere on a low hill, or a small slope, there were two figures looking down at the dark official road below them.
The sound of "rumble" horses' hoofs came from afar, and from afar, there was an endless stretch of fire.
After about a hundred breaths, the cavalry from Zhenshan Camp will arrive here first, followed by nearly 40,000 infantry.
At that time, Wei Changtian will be alone to face this entire army.
"Do you have the Qing Jue Jade Pendant?"
Still naked from the waist up, Wei Changtian calmly asked Xu Suisui beside him: "Do I need a piece for you?"
"..."
Looking at the man in front of him whose temperament was completely different from before, Xu Suisui was stunned for a moment, then silently shook his head.
"No, I have..."
"good."
Wei Changtian nodded and handed Xu Suisui a dagger: "You can find a place to hide it later, and then 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 forced to confess."
"I don't think you would want to try the methods of extracting confessions in this era."
"..."
Biting his lip and taking the dagger, Xu Suisui hesitated for a moment and then asked in a low voice: "Then where will I find you after I trigger the Qingjue Jade Pendant and escape?"
"If I can delay it long enough, I'll go to Niutoushan."
"If I don't delay for too long, then go to Shuzhou City."
After a pause, Wei Changtian talked about the third situation.
"If you don't find me in Shuzhou City, it means I'm dead."
"die?"
Xu Suisui's eyes widened immediately, and the next moment he took out an ancient jade from his arms and handed it to Wei Changtian.
"Don't you have the Qing Jue Jade Pendant? I'll give it to you!"
"No, I still have enough points to exchange."
Unexpectedly, Wei Changtian didn't take advantage of it in vain this time.
He just shook his head and explained with a smile: "The Qingjue Jade Pendant is randomly transmitted, so there is no guarantee that they will still find it...and my luck has never been good."
"Then, do you need anything else?"
Xu Suisui didn't know why he suddenly felt wet at the corners of his eyes: "I still have a lot of points that I can help you change!"
"A lot of points? Did you just earn them?"
"I......"
"Hahaha, okay, just kidding."
In Xu Suisui's complicated eyes, Wei Changtian laughed heartily twice, and then lowered his head slightly.
"I'm sorry, I always doubted you before."
"Now that I think about it, I'm actually quite ridiculous, like a circus clown..."
"No, it's not!"
Xu Suisui took a step closer excitedly, eager to say something.
However, Wei Changtian suddenly turned his head at this moment and looked at the vast cavalry figure that had appeared at the end of the official road.
"Okay, I should go."
"..."
Xu Suisui knew that Wei Changtian deliberately prevented him from saying what he said next.
But just after the latter turned around and walked a few steps away, she couldn't help but trembled and shouted:
"You should know that you don't have to do this!"
"If you didn't go, the result might be better!"
"..."
If you don't go, the result may be better.
When Xu Suisui shouted these words out of some unknown state of mind, Wei Changtian's guess about the truth was finally fully verified.
He paused and turned 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 said the last words as if talking to himself.
"I just don't want to be a clown and play a play that already knows the ending."
"That would be too boring."
"..."
...
I am willing to use my small and humble strength to fight against this rare and ordinary fate.
Under the shadow of the bright river, there are many stars.
In Xu Suisui's dumbfounded eyes, Wei Changtian jumped into the dark night as deep as a deep pool, and appeared on the official road more than ten breaths later.
He just stood there in a daze, waiting for the distant dust to surge towards him.
Then at a certain moment, the sky and the earth seemed to be upside down, and hundreds of stars suddenly appeared around him.
The stars are moving in thousands of households, and the moon is in the sky.
Hundreds of stars emit fluorescent colors of the same color. It is not known whether it is the real starlight that is refracted or the sword light mixed with the power of "power".
Xu Suisui watched all this with blurred eyes, watching the tiny figure surrounded by countless stars, turning into a ray of light and rushing straight ahead.
Like a galaxy that has broken free from the constraints of the sky...
