I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 485: The Number of Days Cannot Escape

The purple thunders fell one after another, and the dark clouds didn't mean to disperse in the slightest.

It has been a quarter of an hour since the start of the war, and the battle at the east and west sides of the valley has reached a fever pitch.

Most of the remaining soldiers of the imperial army had already gathered on both sides, looking for the last chance to survive.

Some people also tried to escape into the surrounding mountains, but the Freemasons and Tianluo Sect members had long been lurking there, and the sound of fighting could be heard from the forest from time to time.

The Niutoushan ambush has progressed to this point, and it is not too much to say that the overall situation has been settled.

And Wei Changtian, who had been watching all this silently, suddenly withdrew his gaze at a certain moment, and said softly to Chu Xianping:

"Brother Chu, keep an eye on this place."

"I want to find a place to be alone for a while."

"."

Turning to look at Wei Changtian, Chu Xianping didn't say much, just nodded.

"it is good."

"Well, just send me a letter if you have something to do."

After patting Chu Xianping on the shoulder, Wei Changtian left a word and walked along the mountain path away from the valley.

Because there is no moonlight, the night is very dark tonight, and only when the lightning falls will it cover the surrounding scenery with a fleeting white shadow.

The sound of thunder and fighting behind him became smaller and smaller, and the lonely figure shuttled through the forest.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Wei Changtian finally stopped beside Yiwang Mountain Lake.

There are dangerous cliffs on both sides of the mountain lake, a mountain stream on the left is close to the cliff, and a stream on the right is covered with vegetation, and a narrow waterfall falls from above.

The sound of the waterfall falling on the lake covered the thunder in the distance. Wei Changtian stood there for a while, then sat down on a random stone by the lake, staring at the ripples on the lake in a daze.

If it is in the daytime, this place should be regarded as a beautiful mountain scenery.

However, on this special night, it seemed that even the water in this lake had become gloomy, and it seemed that there was a kind of bottomless abyss.

At this moment, Wei Changtian didn't know what he was thinking, or in fact, he didn't think about anything at all.

He just felt a little tired, so he wanted to find a place to spend a while.

As for other matters, let's talk about it after tonight.

"."

"Plop~"

"Plop~"

Another pebble fell into the lake, causing waves to spread in all directions.

Wei Changtian just sat motionless on the bluestone, waving his arms repeatedly, forgetting how many stones he threw.

The ethereal noise and thunder in the distance became more and more sparse, and the night became more and more silent.

Then at a certain moment, Wei Changtian suddenly found a little light in the center of the lake.

He froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked up at the night sky, but he didn't see half a star.

So he withdrew his gaze and looked around, and finally saw a faint red dot in the forest not far away.

Ok? what's that?

Squinting his eyes, Wei Changtian slowly got up and walked towards the direction of the red light.

But as the distance got closer, he discovered that there was actually a small bamboo house on the other side of the lake, and the light was the candles lit in the bamboo house.

There are still people living in this place?

Wei Changtian didn't know why he went there to find out, but anyway, he walked all the way to the bamboo house.

The night is like ink, the warm light of the candle is weak, and the shadows are floating around.

The house was surrounded by a shallow fence, and the fence was full of flowers that Wei Changtian couldn't name, and the fragrance lingered in his nose.

Looking at the slightly opened small window, Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment before preparing to leave.

But just when he was about to turn around, the small door of the bamboo house was slowly pushed open with a "squeak", revealing the figure of a woman in common clothes.

"Who are you?"

The woman stood barefoot in front of the bamboo house, her ankles were fair, and her appearance was very ordinary.

At this moment, she was frowning at Wei Changtian, with no vigilance in her expression, but it could be seen that she was very displeased with the arrival of such an unexpected guest.

"Uh, I am."

Wei Changtian touched his nose in embarrassment, and subconsciously wanted to make up an excuse.

However, he realized in a flash that it didn't seem necessary, so he casually said:

"It's just a traveler who came here by chance. If there is light, come and have a look."

"I'm bothering the girl, I'm leaving now."

"."

Looking coldly at Wei Changtian, the woman didn't speak, as if she was waiting for something.

Seeing this, Wei Changtian was a little puzzled, so he asked another question.

"Girl, what's the matter?"

"nothing."

The woman glanced at him: "I'm waiting for you to leave."

"."

"understood."

Wei Changtian was straightforward, and looked at the unknown flower in the courtyard, then turned around and walked back along the way he came from.

But after he took a few steps, he heard the woman suddenly ask coldly behind him:

"Do you know why it's so noisy over there?"

"."

Wei Changtian paused.

"Girl, it's a war."

"Oh."

After half an hour.

When the sound of fighting in the valley gradually stopped, and only the sound of thunder remained, the battle of Niutoushan finally came to an end.

Of the 200,000 troops, 160,000 died tonight, and only 40,000 managed to break through.

Counting the 20,000 recruits stationed in Guanghan County, 80% of the 300,000 counter-insurgency army lost in just ten days, leaving only 60,000 remnants and defeated generals.

Of course, these 60,000 people can no longer pose any threat to Shuzhou, but they will soon face the counterattack of the Shu army.

Therefore, the situation in the Battle of Shuzhou will undoubtedly be reversed from then on.

Another half an hour later.

At that time, the news of the imperial army's defeat at Niutoushan had already been sent to the hands of the big men.

Wei Mansion, Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen all heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the letter, and then sat and drank together all night, and they didn't give up until dawn the next day.

In Weiyang Palace, Ning Yuke wrote the Wanmin Edict with her own handwriting at her desk overnight, and the edict was published on the list in the early morning of the second day, and it spread throughout the entire Sichuan within half a day, and the people were all happy and encouraged.

In the imperial palace, Ning Yongnian sat alone for a long time after receiving the news, and did not show up for three consecutive days. It is said that he suddenly had a serious illness and needed to rest in bed

In the thirty-six prefectures of Daning, some families are happy and some are sad.

The Battle of Niutoushan not only kept Ning Yuke's throne, but it was even about to further expand the territory of Shu.

Correspondingly, due to the appearance of the Heavenly Dog army, the collusion between the Shu Kingdom and the Yaozu has become completely indisputable and has become a well-known fact in the world.

For a time, the people of Daning both longed for and feared the land of Shu.

Everyone yearns for the low food prices and peaceful days here, but fears the life that coexists with demons.

But for those who are dying of starvation, they have no choice.

Soon, countless people set off from various states and traveled thousands of miles to Shuzhou to escape famine.

The sub-helms of the Freemasons in various places will provide them with enough rations and money to support them in Shu.

Popular sentiment, population, economy, politics.

The impact of the Battle of Niutoushan is far more than the above.

What's more, such a battle that won more with less and wiped out more than 100,000 enemies within an hour has a lot of praiseworthy things in itself.

Of course, there are very few people who know the complete inside story of this battle now. Faced with such a result, most of you will just feel shocked and puzzled.

But when the historian who finally knows the whole process is ready to write down this period of history after a few years, he may silently say a sentence in his heart——

It is true that there are endless things in the world, and the boundless days cannot be escaped.
