I'm the villain in the book

Page 439

Some soldiers had drawn their sabers in an attempt to frighten the approaching crowd back.

But the latter didn't seem to be afraid of those shining long knives at all, and they didn't know whether they really put life and death aside, or believed that the Daning soldiers dared not kill them.

After all, indiscriminate killing of civilians is not something that can be tolerated in any era.

only......

"General!"

Above the city tower, a lieutenant hurriedly ran to Wu Ding's side, bowed his head and cupped his hands: "There are more and more rioters around the city wall, and now there are no fewer than [-] people! There are more people coming here after hearing the news!"

"Do you want to send more people to stop it? Or allow the brothers to disperse them?"

"..."

"No need."

With a sneer on his face, Wu Ding glanced at the dark crowd under his feet.

Although he can defeat this mob with just one move, but as a second-rank master, unless necessary, he still disdains to attack ordinary people.

But because he is too lazy to make a move, it doesn't mean he will let these "thieves" go.

"Fire arrows."

In the astonished eyes of the lieutenant general, Wu Ding spit out two words with a smile.

The next moment, hundreds of archers on the city wall unleashed their bows and arrows, shooting at the unarmed crowd without hesitation.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh!!"

Amidst the sound of arrow strings collapsing, feathered arrows as dense as migratory locusts whizzed and shot towards the crowded men, women and children, and a moment later, a dying howl was aroused around the city wall.

How can ordinary people be able to resist the arrows shot by warriors, and now there is no need for aiming, so after only a few rounds of rapid scattering, there are not many people left who can stand in the dense crowd. people.

"what!!!"

"Kill, kill!"

"Run away!"

"The devil! The devil!!"

"I fought with you!!!"

"..."

From the beginning to the end, nearly 3000 people were killed in less than a hundred breaths.

This is not a war, it is a massacre at all.

The area around the North Tower suddenly turned into a purgatory on earth, the loess was soaked in blood, and the screams pierced the heart.

Whether Wu Ding chose to use this "simplest" way to solve the problem is Ning Yongnian's inspiration.

In short, his current expression did not fluctuate at all.

"Cang!"

With a wave of his hand, the saber at his waist was suddenly unsheathed.

A dazzling knife light suddenly appeared, chopped up an unknown number of fresh bones in an instant, and left a knife mark several inches deep on the ground.

This knife mark is connected end to end, completely surrounding the North Tower.

"Hmph! Listen carefully!"

Taking a step to stand on the top of the wall, Wu Ding pointed back at Li Qi on the high pole.

"Your great emperor! He ordered the massacre of 200 million people in Yuanzhou city before!"

"This action is unacceptable, so God will punish you, and you will be rewarded with 50 soldiers overnight!"

"My pilgrimage does not allow such despicable behavior, so I sent troops to the west, just to kill the tyrant!"

"Such a benevolent act should bring harmony to the world, but instead of being grateful, you are so stubborn that you are willing to run dogs for a tyrant!"

"Such a person who is a minion for a tiger, I will kill him!"

Glancing coldly at the crowd who were angry in the distance but did not dare to approach the tower again, Wu Ding sneered:

"Hmph! The tyrant hangs here, and whoever wants to save someone can try!"

"But this general must speak clearly first!"

"From now on, anyone who enters this world will die!"

"..."

......

Three thousand people were slaughtered.

Such an incident seems "insignificant" compared with the Yuanzhou City tragedy, but it is definitely regarded as another "humanitarian crisis" when viewed alone.

After all, there are not many forces that dare to massacre civilians in public.

If this matter came from a certain sect, then this sect would undoubtedly be classified as a "devil sect cult" immediately.

But if it comes from one country... It can only be said that Daning's "international vision" may be affected to some extent.

"..."

"Young master, that's it."

In Guanghan County, Wei Changtian learned of Li Qi's hanging on the city wall and the "Huailing incident" at noon.

He just told Chu Xianping yesterday that "unless the matter of Dafeng is very important, there is no need to report it again", but today such a "very important" matter happened...

And to be honest, although Wei Changtian was surprised, he didn't actually guess what Ning Yongnian was doing all this time.

After all, he still doesn't know the "multiple-choice question" that the latter left for Li Wutong. He just thinks that Ning Yongnian wants to pour the dirty water of the Yuanzhou City tragedy on Li Qi.

So, after sighing in his heart, Wei Changtian stopped thinking about it.

He just felt that it would be more difficult for him to comfort Li Wutong in the future.

As for Li Qi... To be reasonable, I should actually find a way to rescue this future father-in-law.

But perseveringly, I really don't have this ability now.

Kuilong cannot participate in secular power struggles, so he will definitely not save the emperor of a country.

Take a trip yourself?

There are not many system points left, and I am afraid that I will be in Dafeng by then.

So... alas, that's it again.

Rescuing Li Wutong was all he could do right now.

Chapter 505

At night, Du Chang rushed to Guanghan County from Shiwanda Mountain.

The Tiangou army appeared for the first time in the Battle of Niutoushan, and showed its power. He and Yang Liushi contributed a lot.

In fact, if it appeared in other battles, the sensational effect caused by the Tengu Army should be even stronger.

After all, the key to the Battle of Niutoushan was undoubtedly the earth-shattering "Heavenly Thunder", which killed 10,000+ people in one fell swoop, somewhat covering up the "light" of the Tiangou Army.

But no matter what, Du Chang's ability was affirmed by Wei Changtian, and the former also secured his position as the leader of the Tiangou Army.

It's just that no matter how amazing such an army is, it's still a bit too "shocking".

Even in Shuzhou, where the attitude towards monsters is the most peaceful, even if the people are no longer as afraid of monsters as before, it is still difficult for them to accept the Tiangou army stationed nearby.

So in the end, Wei Changtian asked Du Chang to bring the Tiangou Army back to Shiwan Dashan, and planned to temporarily use the cliff valley as the base camp of the Tiangou Army.

It does not disturb the people, but also can better train troops, and can quickly reach the battlefield when using troops.

Therefore, before Datong City is built, it can be predicted that Du Chang will spend most of his time in the Shiwan Dashan.

"..."

"Young Master! Brother Xianping!"

At the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, Du Chang hurriedly walked into the Guanghan county government office, and saw Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping who were discussing something.

"Brother Du."

Wei Changtian greeted him with a smile, inevitably he had to show some courtesy first.

After briefly asking about the recent situation of the Tengu Army, and then asking a few words such as "accelerate the expansion of the army", the three of them quickly got to the point.

Naturally, it is about Kuilong and Yueyuejian.

Because Du Chang lost the bet with Chu Xianping before and had eaten the Puppet Pill, Wei Changtian told him about Kuilong without any psychological burden.

And his reaction was similar to that of Chu Xianping who heard this for the first time.

Although surprised, he quickly accepted the fact that such a mysterious organization existed.

So it seems that people who do big things have at least the same characteristic——

That is, Taishan collapses before the color does not change, and it is rare to deny yourself because of changes in the external environment.

......

From Xu time to Zi time.

When the bright moon swam into the sky and Tsinghua University covered the green tiles of the county government, the discussion between the three finally came to an end.

In addition to "colluding confessions" and discussing in advance how to respond to Kuilong's temptation, they also determined the direction of the Shu army's next attack.

As I said before, the Shu army now has two offensive directions to choose from, north and east.

Liang Zhen tended to attack Anzhou in the north first, and wipe out the [-] imperial troops stationed there in one fell swoop.

Chu Xianping tends to attack Yangzhou in the east first, expand the territory of Shu Kingdom, and fight steadily.

Wei Changtian hadn't been able to make up his mind before, but then he asked Wei Xianzhi for his opinion, and now combined with Du Chang's attitude, he finally made a decision.

Attack the east first and occupy Yangzhou.

This move is mainly based on two considerations.

First, the tactical level.

In any case, there are still 10 remnants of the imperial court in Anzhou, plus the local state soldiers in Anzhou, it is not a big problem to make up a small [-] soldiers.

Although his own side plus Da Li's [-] reinforcements, the number must be superior, and with the Tiangou army, the combat power must also be superior.

But it is difficult to repeat the scene of Niutoushan in this kind of real offensive and defensive battle. Even if they win by then, there will be a lot of losses.

Ning Yongnian currently has the population of 35 prefectures to support him, so he will definitely have an advantage in a war of attrition, so it is best for Shu not to exchange combat power like this.

Second, the strategic level.

If you choose to fight Anzhou, then the next strategic choice will most likely be to go all the way north, and fight directly to the capital in one breath.

But Dayang Prefecture is "horizontal development", and can continue to move eastward in the future, taking all the southern states of Daning as its own, forming a situation of confrontation between the north and the south with Ning Yongnian.

Although Ning Yongnian's rule cannot be quickly overthrown in this way, the advantage is that it is safe.

After all, under the influence of the turmoil in the grain market and successive wars, Daning is now riddled with holes, but everything in Shuzhou is thriving.

Under the ebb and flow, Wei Changtian felt that it would be more beneficial for him to procrastinate longer.

"..."

"Okay, then this matter is settled, and I will talk to Uncle Liang tomorrow."

In the conference hall, Wei Changtian took a sip of the already weak tea: "The remaining [-] reinforcements from Dali will arrive in Guanghan the day after tomorrow, but it is inevitable that we will have to rest for a few days..."

"How about this, leave 3 people to garrison Guanghan, in case Ning Yongnian kills the carbine again, and the rest of the troops will move eastward in five days and attack Yangzhou!"

"Yes!"

Du Chang and Chu Xianping immediately stood up and clasped fists with serious expressions, they had no objection to such a decision.

And Wei Changtian thought for a moment, then continued:

"Brother Du, Brother Chu, I think you can go to Yangzhou first and talk to their state shepherd and chief soldier before that."
