Chapter 637: Abandoned Son - Hegemony (1)
Suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hooves sounded through the sky, and the horses came galloping like a storm and rushed straight into the tent.
The horse flashed like a flash of lightning and stopped at the door of the tent in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the man with a piece of white cloth tied on his left arm jumped off his horse nimbly. Although his steps were quick, they were extremely steady, as solid and powerful as a mountain.
The man walked quickly and walked straight into the tent. As soon as he entered, he shouted loudly: "Call Hei Yi to me!" His voice was loud and full of unquestionable majesty.
Speaking of Hei Yi, he was the first secret guard that Wu Chengyin's mother personally gave him two years ago. Compared with those under Wu Dejing, Hei Yi was obviously much more reliable and safer.
After all, Wu Chengyin always found it difficult to completely let down his guard when it came to the people around his royal brother, fearing that something might go wrong.
Soon, a black-clad general with a conspicuous black scar on his face hurried into the tent.
The general immediately saw the man who was deep in thought while leaning over the map. When the man raised his head, the general hurriedly bowed respectfully.
"Master, you are finally back! Just one day ago, our vanguard army disobeyed military orders and broke into the isolated city without authorization. Unfortunately, they fell into the numerous traps set by Ketu and were eventually wiped out. No one came back alive." Hei reported the battle situation with a serious face.
Hearing this, the man frowned and asked, "So, what is the situation of the other party now?"
Hei Yi took a deep breath and continued, "Right now, the enemy's morale is greatly boosted, and Ketu is even more arrogant and domineering.
He even openly threatened to lead his army northward, sweep across the country and achieve the goal of unification.
Moreover, just today, they actually set up the astonishingly powerful Lihuo Nirvana Formation in front of our army, in an attempt to force us to fight.
But... even if we keep hanging up the banner of no war, it is not a long-term solution after all."
After hearing this, the man snorted coldly and cursed angrily: "These guys are really stubborn! They have been forced into such a desperate situation, but they still dare to jump around like this. They are just like grasshoppers in autumn - struggling to their death!"
Wu Chengyin naturally knew that Ke Tu was seriously injured yesterday and the army was leaderless now. He had fooled many people with this self-directed and self-acted trick, but it couldn't fool him.
He had never been afraid of real fighting on the battlefield, but Ketu knew several powerful formations that he could not defeat.
"Our army suffered heavy losses this time. How should we deal with it? The army is short of food and grass. We can't hold on any longer." Hei Yi told the truth.
Wu Chengyin thought of someone, raised his hand slightly, and said softly: "Send the military order to rest for three days."
"Yes!"
Wu Chengyin put pressure on the only ally because they were now leaderless and were easiest to persuade to surrender. If the other party did not agree to the alliance, he would consider the situation himself.
"If I surrender to your Wu Dynasty, what benefit will I get?"
"General, everyone wants to eat a safe meal. If Ketu goes west, where will your hometown be? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world? If you surrender to our Wu Dynasty, we will not treat you badly in the future."
"Anyone can draw a big cake, but if Prince Yin wants me to surrender, that's easy. It depends on..."
"Please say."
"..."
After a long bargaining, Wu Chengyin's army expanded by more than 20,000 people, but Ketu's troops were nearly four times his.
"If Prince Yin wants to find a way to crack the Lihuo Nirvana Formation, I will naturally submit to the talented master."
"It's a word."
"a man of his words."
After returning to the tent, the man fell into deep thought. There was no one in charge of the situation on Ketu's side at the moment, so it would be a good idea to take advantage of the situation. It was a formation...
Staring at the art of war on the table, Wu Chengyin seemed to have thought of something. He reached into his arms and an unnamed book appeared on the table.
I opened the book and found a few pages of thin paper inside. The font was as small as an ant, but still recognizable.
When Wu Chengyin saw the key contents such as the layout plan of the Lihuo Nirvana Array, he was also confused, but his nervous heart slowly calmed down.
The book says: West wind, east rain, north sand, south fire, northwest... the center is empty and gathers from many directions. This is the wonderful thing about the Gu family's void formation!
There was not a single word of nonsense in the inch-thick book. Wu Chengyin also knew who the Gu in the book was. He forced himself not to think of an old friend.
The Nanfeng recorded in the book is the Lihuo Nirvana Formation, and the Four-sided Formation has also appeared in Ketu's side, but it is only nearly half of the formations in the book, and more than half have not been released.
Wu Chengyin couldn't see the blueprint clearly at first, but after interpreting the simplest steps of the small formation, he felt that the formation was profound and even shocking.
Because Ketu knew how important what Xier had in her hand was, he had always been respectful to Xier. This time he wanted to kill her because he felt that he had learned everything.
Reading late into the night, Wu Chengyin almost learned from the author's master and had also suffered from the Fire Nirvana Array, so he understood the contents quickly. However, he saw an extra drawing, a dark room in a villa.
After defeating Ketu, he would go and find out the truth, and also pay tribute to her unwilling soul.
As the morning breeze broke, Wu Chengyin rubbed his eyes and closed the book. He looked at the formation arrangement on the table, and it seemed that it was still a little short of perfection. What he needed was absolute certainty.
Three days later...
Flags fluttered, war horses neighed, the two armies confronted each other, and the wind and sand were blowing.
"Wu Xiaoer, you have been a coward for many days, but today you finally come to my door."
"I didn't expect that there wasn't even a man left on Ketu's side, so they let someone like you with a sly look go into battle. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"You are just a mouse, and with your small body, do you need a soldier to help you ride a horse?"
"If it doesn't work, let Ketu replace the woman behind you with the leader. You should get off now."
The enemy general, who was mocked, was furious and said with a steel fork in hand: "You...you are only good at talking. I will show you the power of my formation in a moment."
The man suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Wu Chengyin, do you dare to come and break my formation today?" His voice was like a huge bell, echoing in the air.
After hearing this, Wu Chengyin raised his lips slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and said loudly: "Why not? I'm afraid that you, a coward like you, will run faster than a rabbit like a mouse crossing the street!"
His words were equally powerful, and he responded to the other party without showing any weakness.
The man sneered and said, "Humph, who is the real rat? We'll know after a try! Soldiers, listen up and quickly form a battle array!"
Following his order, a woman in a red battle robe and a mask stood on the central platform of the army, holding a flag and began to command...
