I'm the villain in the book

Nodding his head, Ning Yongnian didn't speak any more.

He mobilized his internal energy to circulate around his body, hoping to calm down the restlessness in his heart through this method.

But after he had been running for a few small weeks, the irritability not only didn't lessen, but became more and more obvious.

This feeling was very bad, and Ning Yongnian couldn't help thinking that something bad might happen.

But what could this bad thing be?

Ning Yongnian didn't know, and couldn't guess.

After all, the current situation on all fronts seems to be under control, but it seems to be out of his control...

The candles flickered, and the aloes curled up.

After sitting for a while, Ning Yongnian finally opened his eyes, got up and walked out of Tianlu Pavilion, and then stood in the middle of the courtyard outside the hall.

The Qi Luck Yellow Dragon shot out from the dantian, and immediately became bigger and bigger, swimming and circling over Tianlu Pavilion.

Looking at the huge dragon writhing in the night, Ning Yongnian suddenly thought of the Dragon Locking Formation, and thought of the more than 200 million Daning people in Yuanzhou City.

After doing such a thing, it is impossible to say that the emperor never hesitated or struggled.

But Ning Yongnian always felt that exchanging the lives of 200 million people for the territory of a country was worth it.

Ning Yongnian has always believed in the truth that "you can only gain if you give up", and understands that being an emperor is doomed to be lonely.

But at this very moment, on this ordinary and extraordinary night, he was suddenly shaken.

He suddenly wasn't sure if it was all worth it.

For Dafeng, 200 million innocent people died.

For Jizhou, he watched his own flesh and blood die in front of him.

For the sake of Shuzhou, the people of Daning today are destitute and hungry.

Including the dead Xu Shixing, Ning Qingyu, Liu Zhongchun...

For the so-called great cause of thousands of years, he killed too many people and paid too much price.

But everything I got... seemed so meaningless again.

only......

No matter how shaken the road is, Ning Yongnian knows that he has no way out.

There is no turning back when he opens his bow, all he can do is to keep walking along this road.

"emperor......"

Behind him, Li Huaizhong suddenly whispered: "General Han Zhao just sent a letter saying that the army has arrived at Niutoushan."

Ning Yongnian didn't turn his head, but calmly responded.

"okay, I get it."

......

......

At the end of Xu Dynasty, Niutoushan.

The huge funnel-shaped valley has been illuminated by continuous flames, and an unknown number of yellow armored soldiers are crowded in it.

Because of the shape of a funnel, the valley naturally has a large entrance and a small exit. If you don't climb the mountain, you can only get out through a slit between the two mountains.

The length of this slit is too short to be regarded as a natural danger, but it can greatly slow down the speed of the army going out of the valley.

There are fewer people coming out and more people coming in. Over time, more than 20 people "stayed" in the valley from the [-] troops.

And these people are Wei Changtian's targets.

"Son."

Beside him, Chu Xianping reminded in a low voice: "Now more than 1 people have left the valley, and there are still more than 3 people who have not entered the valley. There are about 16 people in the valley."

"Our people are all ready. The Tengu army will arrive in a quarter of an hour, just in time to help intercept the enemy's retreat."

"My lord, it's about time."

"..."

After Chu Xianping said these few words, he stopped talking, and Wei Changtian didn't answer immediately, but just stood on a boulder, silently looking down at the vast crowd who were as small as ants.

The dark clouds above the head were so thick that they blocked all the stars and moonlight, which was very similar to the night when the Tianluo Sect's mountain gate was destroyed.

Yes, Wei Changtian is planning to use "Combination" to create a "God's Punishment", coupled with the huge equivalent of gunpowder that has already been buried in various places in the valley, and use a "Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire" to inflict on the imperial army fatal blow.

Of course, with his own internal strength, even with all his strength, it is impossible to create a sky thunder that is too powerful.

However, he could imitate Yunlian and use the blood of the Son of Heaven to outline in advance a formation that could increase the power of the thunder.

And this is why Wei Changtian left Shen Ran in Niutoushan.

During these days, Shen Ran has been mixing some animal blood with his own blood to draw symbols in this valley.

Although due to the mixture of animal blood, the power of Tianlei must be weaker than the one triggered by Yunlian.

But after all, Wei Changtian was not facing the Tianluo Sect, but just a group of ordinary soldiers of the third rank, so it must be enough.

"..."

Underfoot, the soldiers crowded into the valley still didn't notice anything unusual.

Wei Changtian silently mobilized a trace of internal energy to focus on the palm of his hand, and looked up at the billowing dark clouds that also crowded the sky.

Now he can trigger the sky thunder at any time, and as soon as the sky thunder falls, the people of the Tianluo sect ambushing around will detonate all the explosives, and the Shu army and Li army will also block the front and rear directions of the valley at the same time.

In other words, with just one action now, he can kill more than a hundred thousand people...

Ink color soaked the valley, and purple thunder surged in the clouds.

Suddenly, Wei Changtian turned his head and asked Chu Xianping.

"Brother Chu, do you think I should support Ning Yuke to become king and rebel?"

"If I hadn't done this, these people shouldn't have died."

"..."

Hearing such a question at this juncture, Chu Xianping couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

But he quickly replied calmly:

"If they don't, then they might not die."

"But if you don't fight back, then the people in this world will not be able to live for themselves after all."

"Young master, this is what you once said to me."

"..."

"okay, I get it."

With the last sigh, Wei Changtian raised his palm slightly.

The next moment, countless purple thunders that had been suppressed for a long time crashed down.

Chapter 482

"boom!!!"

When the first purple thunder hit the densely packed crowd, killing hundreds of people in an instant, most people hadn't had time to react to what happened.

But as the wailing and screams resounded through the valley, and the ground under his feet began to shake and then exploded, someone immediately realized the problem.

"Enemy attack!!"

"Damn it! There is an ambush!!!"

"Quick! Retreat! Retreat!!!"

"..."

The experienced general immediately shouted hoarsely, trying to urge his soldiers to flee in the right direction.

But in fact, before they gave the order, the panicked crowd had already rushed towards the front and rear exits of the valley.

In the chaos, it is unknown how many people fell and failed to stand up again, how many people were blown into the air by the explosives, and how many people were turned into dust in the purple thunder.

The valley where more than [-] people have gathered is like a purgatory on earth at this moment. The karmic fire splashes out from the ground, and the thunder falls from the dark sky. The sound of despair and fear is full of bright red as far as the eye can see. The flames or the rain of blood.

Severed limbs can be seen everywhere, some of which can't even fall to the ground, just hang bloody on the bodies of the living people, but the latter won't even take a look.

At this moment, it doesn't matter whose body these broken arms and legs come from, because everyone has already been dominated by infinite fear, and they don't care about anything other than running for their lives.

A well-trained army should not have panicked to this extent when it was suddenly ambushed.

And this just shows that the situation encountered by the imperial army has far exceeded their understanding of war.

Even before the Shu army and Li army suddenly rushed out from both sides of the valley, they didn't even know who the enemy was.

"Kill!"

"Kill it out!!"

"boom!!"

"..."

Compared with the narrow funnel exit on the west side, the wide funnel entrance on the east side is naturally the main battlefield for the fierce battle between the two sides.

It was Da Li's [-] reinforcements who were in charge of blocking this direction.

With 10,000 versus [-]+, although there is a huge difference in military strength, it must be known that most of the imperial army is blocked by their companions in the valley at this time, and they cannot participate in the battle at all.

What's more, Da Li's reinforcements only need to hold for a quarter of an hour.

According to the previous estimate, at most two quarters of an hour, the imperial army in the valley will basically be killed and injured in the "thunderstorm and earth fire", and even if some can escape, it will not matter to the overall situation.

Facing a battle line that is only a few hundred meters away, guard for two quarters of an hour.

Both Wei Changtian and the Li army general named Zhao Dong thought that this should not be difficult to do.

But they somewhat underestimated the combat effectiveness of people in such a dangerous situation.

If you can't break out of the encirclement, you will die.

In this extreme situation, all the yellow armored soldiers rushed out of the valley desperately like crazy, and no one had any reservations.

As for running away...

Not to mention that they have no retreat, even if there is, they can't retreat or escape at this moment.

Because under the "promotion" of more than [-] people behind them, they couldn't even turn around.

All you can do is raise your sword forward...

"Kill!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Ah! I don't want to die!!"

"Woooooo! Mom! Forgive me for being unfilial!"

"Father! Mother!!"

"what!!!"

"..."

Crying, shouting, roaring... Countless soldiers in yellow armor rushed towards the Li army's defense line with their long knives held high, and fell down like straw.

The next moment, more men who are just like them will step on their corpses and continue to move forward.

Thousands of people fell down, and thousands of people rushed up.

The flesh and blood bodies piled up into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, moving forward inch by inch in a tragic and desperate manner.

And under this kind of charge that was almost "death", the Li army's defense line that was waiting in full battle soon loosened.

"Damn it! Keep it for me!!"

"No retreat!!!"
