For Wei Changtian, the whole day yesterday was relatively peaceful.
His injury was not serious, but his internal strength was a bit depleted.
Wei Changtian definitely couldn't bear to spend another 300 points for a Tianyuan Pill, so he could only rely on breathing to slowly replenish it.
However, only then did he discover that the "reserve" of internal energy in the second-level realm was indeed an astronomical figure. After meditating for an hour, the internal energy recovered was only 1%.
So at dusk, he went out of the city again, went to last night's battlefield and absorbed a stream of residual souls, and then he barely recovered to 30 to 40% level.
In addition, he also took the time to chat with Shen Ran, and learned from the latter that Chu Xianping had never given him the Puppet Pill.
This undoubtedly shows that the puppet pill should have been eaten by Chu Xianping himself.
After confirming this matter, Wei Changtian couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and he didn't know whether this was "shooting himself in the foot."
After all, if he had not given the Puppet Pill to Chu Xianping, the latter might not have rebelled.
Even if you have this idea, at least it won't be that easy.
Hmm... Thinking about it this way, this doesn't seem like a bad thing.
After all, if Chu Xianping was determined to rebel, it would indeed be better to rebel sooner rather than later.
Stop loss in time?
To this day, Wei Changtian can only comfort himself in this way.
But no matter what he thought, the worry in his heart still lingered.
There is no doubt that Chu Xianping has undoubtedly colluded with Lu Hongji, but I don't know if he will interfere in the Xinfeng war.
If Chu Xianping gets involved again...
Wei Changtian didn't know what Chu Xianping would do, but for him, the only thing he could do now was continue to advance the established plan.
As long as he can complete the flanking attack on the Qianhui army in a short period of time, even Chu Xianping will have a hard time turning the tide of the battle.
I'm just afraid that something unexpected will happen in the meantime.
...
...
Zi Shi.
Xinfeng, Tianshui County.
The vast wilderness is shrouded in night, the wind is strong, the clouds are low, and the moon and stars are sparse.
In the vast plains, between the endless decaying grass and yellow sand, a fierce army is marching westward.
The animal's feet stepped over the rocks, its wings flew through the clouds, and the sky and the earth were filled with darkness, like a black wave, oppressive and powerful.
Yes, it is the Tengu Army that is now "famous all over the world".
From Si Shi to Zi Shi, only eight hours had passed since Wei Changtian's order was received. In sixteen hours, the entire army had marched a thousand miles, leaving the Shu Army and the Ning Army far behind.
This undoubtedly proves that the Tengu Army is fully capable of mobility far beyond that of ordinary armies.
At the same time, this also means that they only have one day's journey left from Fengyuan City.
If nothing else goes wrong, they will be able to arrive at the current headquarters of the Qianhui army tomorrow and launch the first wave of raids immediately with the help of black powder.
Wei Changtian did not expect that a mere 30,000 men could defeat an 800,000-strong army, but such an army was enough to make the enemy frightened.
There are 30,000 monsters, which is a huge deterrent.
It comes and goes without a trace, suitable for blitz warfare.
It has extremely strong combat effectiveness and is equipped with powerful black powder, which can cause a lot of damage to places in a short period of time.
Based on the above three points, the Tengu Army is undoubtedly the best choice for "harassment warfare".
And through constant harassment, the enemy's military morale is always suppressed at an extremely low level. This is the mission of the Tengu Army in this battle...
"Everyone, there is only one day before we arrive at Feng Yuan..."
Half an hour later, at the foot of a certain low mountain.
After marching continuously for eight hours, the Tengu Army took a short rest here, while Du Chang and several lieutenants were discussing matters in an abandoned farmhouse.
As the "direct force" of Wei Changtian, the Tengu Army is also the most powerful army. Its conditions in all aspects are undoubtedly far superior to those of the Shu Army or the Ning Army.
For example, the configuration of generals.
Although Du Chang, the chief general, is only in the fourth rank, the three lieutenants are all in the third rank.
Three third-grade lieutenants.
Although Wei Changtian killed fifteen generals of the third rank last night, this does not mean that the generals of the third rank are nothing.
On the contrary, if it is a normal configuration, a battalion of about 30,000 people will often only have one third-grade general, and some may even have none.
Don't even think about the second grade. Generally speaking, only the first battle general will be the second grade.
Therefore, there are three third-grade generals in the Tengu Army, which is much higher than the average level.
As for where these three generals were found...
In fact, it was Du Chang himself who "recruited" him from various political forces.
He has a name, his identity is verifiable, and his motives are reliable.
However, Wei Changtian still gave the three of them puppet pills.
Because of this, Wei Changcai has always been relatively at ease with the Tengu Army and rarely interferes with military affairs.
And Du Chang did not live up to his trust. After Yang Liushi left, he still managed the Tengu Army in an orderly manner, and the overall strength steadily improved. In the several battles in Shuzhou and Liangzhou, he accomplished the task brilliantly.
As a character who has not appeared in "The Peak of Martial Arts", Wei Changtian is actually very satisfied with Du Chang's performance.
Therefore, I am afraid that he could never imagine this scene in his dreams...
"Three of you, this time Wei Changtian suddenly broke through to the second level, which somewhat disrupted the helmsman's plan."
"But it's not without remedy."
"Now the helmsman has ordered several brothers to come from Dahui to join us. It will take about four or five days."
"What we have to do is to ensure that the morale of the army will not collapse during this period."
"What the army needs most at this time is a victory, and the Tengu Army is the best target."
"This place is called Luo Xing Valley. It is on the only road from Tianshui County to Fengyuan..."
"..."
Du Chang's voice echoed in the farmhouse without concealment, and the information conveyed in each sentence was very shocking.
From what he meant, it seemed that he was taking orders from a certain "rudder" and intended to boost the morale of the returning army by burying the Tengu Army.
Combining these two points of analysis, it becomes obvious who he is.
But this creates a problem.
You must know that Du Chang has taken the Puppet Pill, and unlike Chu Xianping, Wei Changtian did not give him a brand-new Puppet Pill.
So how did he untie the puppet's erysipelas?
Including the three generals who were listening to him at the moment and who were obviously also rebels, how did they get rid of the erysipelas?
This issue is currently unknown.
But Du Chang's rebellion is a definite fact.
What's even more frightening is that Wei Changtian is still unaware of this...
"..."
"Okay, you go back first."
A quarter of an hour later, the farmhouse was a little dim with a few oil lamps on, and the four of them had finished their discussion.
Du Chang waved his hand, and the three lieutenants turned around and prepared to leave.
The footsteps extended from the house to the door, and then stopped abruptly after a "squeak".
"Um?"
Sensing something strange, Du Chang raised his head, frowned and looked towards the door.
Then the next moment, his eyes widened in the flickering light of the fire.
As if he had seen some kind of monster, Du Chang looked over the shoulders of the three lieutenants who were already frozen in place. He suppressed the fear in his heart and stared at the woman standing outside the door.
The latter was also looking at him at this time.
The moonlight shines on the woman's face, making her smile look particularly cold.
