Great Wei border.
The Skywolf Mountain Range.
This was originally the border land of Great Wei and was the national territory of Great Wei.
However, the barbarians’ surprise attack took Great Wei by surprise.
To be more precise, apart from Xu Qingnian, Ji Ling and Prince Huai Ning, the rest of the people of Great Wei did not know about the Barbarians’ invasion plan.
Chen Zhengru and the others knew, but only partially.
Similarly to the barbarians’ cannons, they were also unaware of it.
Many people were sacrificed in this battle, some generals, some commoners, but these sacrifices were inevitable.
Xu Qingnian was also torn and hesitant during this time.
Whether to sacrifice these people or not.
Theoretically, one could use the First Grade Divine Martial Cannon to directly kill the barbarians’ lair.
However, the consequence of doing so would be to let the tiger return to the mountain.
With the barbarians’ million strong army, it would be no problem to blast 100,000 people to death with this cannon, but with the second cannon, the barbarians would choose to flee.
They would flee to the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, or the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
If they fled into these two dynasties, then they would have lost all their success.
They would not have lost much, and would have learned that Wei had this secret weapon.
In that case, Wei had not lost, but it had not won either.
There was nothing wrong with Prince Huaining’s plan, it was not cruel, but standing on the macro perspective to make some trade-offs.
Some people were destined to sacrifice, and from a macro perspective, the sacrifice of more than 100,000 people at the border for the overthrow of the barbarians.
So after some time of torment, Xu Qingnian agreed to Prince Huaining’s idea.
After all, Prince Huaining was right.
Only wrong did not say wrong, but angry was extremely angry.
But what made Xu Qingnian angry was not the barbarians’ declaration of war, but what the barbarians had done.
According to Prince Huaining’s intention, the five cities on the border were abandoned, and about 100,000 lives were lost.
But what he had not expected was that the barbarians were unscrupulous, pushing all the way across the border and now occupying twenty-three cities.
They have slaughtered at least 300,000 people and generals.
It was fortunate that the barbarians’ previous offensive had alerted the people at the border, plus the desperate protection of the generals of Great Wei, otherwise there would have been countless deaths and injuries.
This was blood feud.
It was also beyond Xu Qingnian’s tolerance.
Otherwise, he would not have done this, personally leading his troops into battle.
Both sides had set up military camps and their armies were at loggerheads.
When it came to this scene, there was no such thing as a surprise attack.
To strike first does not mean that you will win.
Nothing has been deployed, where it is possible to just say fight?
Blitzkrieg, decapitation is a clear target, kill it all, when it really comes to the engagement of a million armies, it is definitely not that simple.
At this moment.
The Skywolf Mountain Range.
With the appearance of Xu Qingnian, for a moment, the generals of Great Wei each revealed an agitated emotion.
In recent years, Great Wei had only fought once, and this time, the person leading the battle was Great Wei Xu Qingnian.
He was crowned king in one battle.
In addition, Xu Qingnian was also a Confucian sub-saint and a Buddhist worldly reverend.
It can be said that Xu Qingnian’s status was not only mythologised in the hearts of the people, but also in the eyes of the generals.
Therefore, as soon as Xu Qingnian appeared on the battlefield, it drew excitement and thrill from the generals.
In front of an army of a million.
Xu Qingnian stood in the void.
He quietly looked at the barbarian generals in front of him.
Every one of them was tall and strong, and they rode on iron horses, all of them fierce and fierce, looking themselves up and down with contempt in their eyes.
But this was pretence.
They were merely barbarian generals, Xu Qingnian was the king of the pacification of chaos, the current sub-sage, the prince of Great Wei.
How could some barbarian generals dare to despise Xu Qingnian?
But when two armies were at war, they naturally could not show weakness, and they had to pretend as if they were not afraid of Xu Qingnian.
Stomp.
Tapping.
Tapping.
At that moment, the city gates opened wide and a figure slowly appeared in front of Xu Qingnian.
It was Grand General Tulu.
The Great General of the Barbarians.
It was a Second Grade martial artist, but not the peak Second Grade, almost mid Second Grade, and could no longer be raised.
“Great General is mighty.”
In the next moment, the voices of the barbarians’ millions of troops rang out, and they hissed with all their might.
It was a provocation to boost the army’s spirit, and they even chanted in the Great Wei language.
“Great Wei is invincible.”
However, the voices of the Great Wei generals also rang out at this moment, neatly and unanimously, and their aura overwhelmed the mountains and scattered the clouds.
At this moment.
Great Wei’s king of pacifying chaos.
The Great General of the Barbarians.
The highest status existences between the two kingdoms appeared, both under one man and above ten thousand.
They looked at each other.
An unparalleled excitement bursts forth.
The armies of both sides were watching, while the great powers of the world were also watching the battle.
The blood feud between Great Wei and the barbarians was deep in the sea itself, and now Great Wei’s national fortunes had coalesced and were likely to transform into the Dragon Cauldron of the Central Continent.
This battle between the barbarians is naturally not as simple as it appears.
Moreover, any fool would know that behind this is the shadow of the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
The two dynasties, who are madly funding the barbarians, are trying to make the people of Great Wei unbearable and plunge into war again.
There was no first battle, but in the past few days, the barbarians had attacked the cities and seized twenty-three ancient border cities in one go.
At least for a raid, the barbarians had won a great victory.
In a flash.
The crowd fell silent.
Great General Tulu appeared, riding on a foreign beast, looking down at Xu Qingnian, his eyes were not contemptuous, but measuring.
He looked up and down at Xu Qingnian.
“The barbarian king has decreed that if you are willing to join our barbarian tribe, all past grudges can be written off.”
“And after the barbarian tribe has stampeded out Great Wei, you can be promised the same status and be crowned King of Great Wei, how about that?”
Grand General Tulu spoke, his voice calm.
These words were actually meaningless, purely to raise morale and to condescend to Xu Qingnian.
It was also in defiance of Great Wei.
It was ridiculous that he was already calculating how to annex Wei before the battle had even been fought.
The other side’s meaning was simple, it was simply to disgust Xu Qingnian and to raise the barbarians’ morale.
“The first battle and the final battle, what’s all this nagging about.”
Xu Qingnian’s voice was also calm.
But within the calmness, there was an absolute domineering aura.
What was the point of talking so much nonsense?
The first battle and the final battle, where did he have so much nonsense to nag.
This was his attitude and his thoughts.
Indeed.
When these words were spoken by Xu Qingnian, the blood of the Great Wei generals immediately boiled.
These words were domineering.
The first battle and the final battle.
No nagging and no nonsense.
When this was said, the barbarian generals could not help but snort coldly, their expressions filled with disdain, thinking that this was impossible.
Although both sides sent millions of troops, this was not the final battle.
The importance of the first battle was a matter of military morale, where it was possible that the first battle was both the final battle, and this was merely Xu Qingnian’s way to raise military morale.
The Great General Tulu did not respond to these words, but took out a holy decree and said in a cold voice.
“By the order of my king.”
“The Empress of Great Wei, who has brutalised the loyal and virtuous, listened to slanderous rumours, caused trouble for the people, oppressed my fellow tribesmen and deceived our barbarians, today declares war on Great Wei.”
His voice was cold as he gazed at the crowd and said so.
At this moment, Grand General Tulu officially declared war on behalf of the barbarians, and his words were full of disrespect.
He accused the empress of Great Wei and even declared war on Great Wei.
Once war was declared, the two countries would enter a complete war, thus until one country conceded defeat.
The barbarians did not declare war on Great Wei back then either, but instead raided Great Wei, using some unfounded reasons to keep attacking strongly and stealthily.
Later it was Great Wei that declared war on the barbarians.
Now, the fact that the barbarians had taken the initiative to declare war was proof enough of the barbarians’ strength.
“War!”
“War!”
“Battle!”
At this moment, the barbarian army roared loudly and furiously, their morale soaring to the sky, their eyes filled with eagerness.
And Xu Qingnian’s voice also rang out at this moment.
“By His Majesty’s decree, the barbarians have repeatedly provoked and offended Great Wei, slaughtering its people, and this revenge is unforgivable.”
“From now on, Great Wei enters a state of war, a state of total war at any time.”
“In this war, we will not return until we break the barbarian kingdom.”
Xu Qingnian’s voice was even louder than ever, his voice alone drowning out the entire barbarian army’s voice.
This was Xu Qingnian’s will.
It was also the will of Great Wei.
You want to fight, don’t you?
The meaning of these words was simple, to reveal to the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
Let them know what Great Wei’s will is now.
If they really dare to make trouble behind their backs, then let’s see who will pay more.
“Three days later, the great battle!”
Grand General Tulu’s voice fell, since war had been declared, according to the rules a direct battle would be fought in three days.
After all, it involved the deployment of millions of troops, it was impossible to just open your mouth and fight.
Otherwise, it would be bad for Great Wei and bad for the barbarians, for everyone.
But for Xu Qingnian, who possessed a First Grade Divine Martial Cannon, it didn’t make any difference to start the war now.
It was just that Xu Qingnian had come here personally, not to inspire the army, but to observe the problem of the barbarians’ troop strength.
In the Tianlang Mountain Range, there seemed to be a million troops, but in reality there were only hundreds of thousands, not as many as a million.
He came here to see the numbers and to show his face on purpose. Once he showed his face, wouldn’t the barbarians get suspicious?
The barbarians don’t have any first-rate powerhouses, but there are still a few second-rate ones.
Since declaring war would mean tearing their faces off, wouldn’t the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty want to get themselves killed?
If they want to kill themselves, they will definitely send more second-rankers to gather here.
They would then be able to kill them all in one go.
Because of this, Xu Qingnian was willing to wait for three days.
At that moment, Xu Qingnian left and went to the camp.
The soldiers continued to guard this place, but they were also worried about another surprise attack from the other side.
It said three days, but it was hard to say whether the other side would attack suddenly.
General Tulu also returned to the city.
Three days later, the battle was about to begin.
The Great Wei army camp.
Outside the camp, the marquises and the three nearby va*sal kings were all waiting outside the camp.
Seeing Xu Qingnian appear, all of them could not help but walk up and bow towards Xu Qingnian.
“We have met the King of Peace and Chaos.”
They spoke out, saying so.
The empress had decreed that the matter of the barbarian kingdom’s invasion would be the sole responsibility of Xu Qingnian.
This time, the court was stabilising the situation up and down Great Wei, and the matter of war was under Xu Qingnian’s command.
“Greetings to all of you.”
Xu Qingnian arched his hand towards the crowd, he was calm inside, but the crowd couldn’t be calm ah.
“Your Highness Xu, my king’s spies found out a hundred miles away that the barbarians had already started to deploy their main troops to station around when Your Highness talked to them earlier, and the number was at least fifty thousand.”
The first voice rang out.
It was King Jingping, the va*sal king stationed in the border region, the more famous and the one who supported Ji Ling.
Hearing King Jingping’s words.
Xu Qingnian did not speak, but allowed the crowd to enter inside the military camp.
Soon, the eight marquises, the three va*sal kings and the minister of war all entered.
They walked into the camp.
Xu Qingnian’s voice was the first to ring out.
“King Jingping, is there any other news?”
Xu Qingnian continued to ask.
“The barbarian army has a*sembled quite a lot and was originally going to occupy these cities and form a siege formation, but the information from my king’s spies is that they are mobilising their troops.”
“It is very likely that they are related to you, King Pingxing.”
King Jing Ping came to the sand table and pointed at the seven ancient cities, saying one by one.
This was said.
The expressions of the crowd became somewhat heavy.
The intention of the barbarians to draw their troops was simple, they wanted to gather a large army and attack head on, and with the help of the Heavenly Thunder cannon, fight a hard battle for the ages.
To put it bluntly, the barbarians were now so confident that they hoped to build up their confidence of invincibility through their first battle.
They even wanted to behead Xu Qingnian.
Even if it cost them 100,000 or 200,000 lives, if they killed Xu Qingnian, then the barbarians would have won a great victory.
Morale would also reach a peak.
“Your Majesty, I suggest that you return to the Great Wei for this battle, we will communicate with the heavenly decree, and there is no question of not being able to give the military order at the first time, what do you think?”
Marquis Lin Yang spoke out, he knew the barbarian tribe’s plan, although he also believed that Xu Qingnian’s martial dao second grade, whether it was 200,000 troops or 300,000 troops, wanting to kill Xu Qingnian, it was an impossible thing.
But the barbarians would obviously not be so stupid as to rely on a sea of men, and would definitely draw out some second-grade powerhouses to fight and kill Xu Qingnian.
Naturally, they would need to protect Xu Qingnian.
This was the backbone of Great Wei, if something happened to Xu Qingnian, everyone would be in trouble.
“There’s no need to worry.”
“I have a solution.”
Xu Qingnian’s words made the crowd somewhat silent.
Soon, the voice of Marquis Lin Yang rang out again.
“Your Majesty, this barbarian tribe has gotten a kind of cannon from somewhere that is so powerful that it is equal to the power of the third grade, and can directly blow the city gates to pieces, killing at least three thousand enemies if they were to meet the battle head on.”
“Your Majesty, if we don’t solve this trouble in the big battle three days later, we are afraid that we will suffer a big loss.”
Marquis Lin Yang spoke out and said so.
The Heavenly Thunder Cannon was mentioned.
“No matter, this cannon is something the king has heard of, it is not worth mentioning.”
Xu Qingnian acted very contemptuously, not caring at all about the power of this cannon.
At the same time, he pointed at the Sky Wolf Mountain Range and said.
“This king has said that the first battle is both the final battle, and for the great battle three days later, all five battalions will draw out half of their troops and gather a million troops to push the barbarians across.”
“Pa*s on this king’s military orders, let the three armies take a good rest, and dispatch another 250,000 troops to work with the clan king’s forces, stay at the camp and escort the people away.”
Xu Qingnian spoke, his war deployment was very ordinary, nothing special.
To say it was mediocre was about right.
But such a mediocre strategic deployment did not make the crowd question it, but on the contrary, it made them nod their heads.
After all, when it comes to fighting with millions of troops, sometimes it is more straightforward to use conventions, instead of engaging in some nonsense that will invite some trouble.
This was the case.
So the crowd did not have any opinion on this strategic deployment of Xu Qingnian.
And so it was.
Within the camp, Xu Qingnian had formulated two sets of plans, one was the main battle and what to do if they won.
One set was what to do if there was a stalemate, or if they lost.
The good thing about the two strategies, attacking and defending, was that the barbarians were invading the war, not fighting on both sides.
It was good that the barbarians were invading, not fighting. Wei had the home field advantage, which gave it a breather.
After the strategy was deployed, a military order was issued and all the generals rushed to the area to meet the battle.
Two hours later.
Inside the barbarian military machine camp.
Great General Tulu was planning to occupy it, and all nine generals of the barbarians, the Minister of War, and the fifth prince were all present in the camp, plotting.
“Report.”
“Secret agent.”
As a voice rang out, someone soon walked in and handed a secret letter to Grand General Tulu.
The latter took the secret letter and then opened it to read it.
Soon, Great General Tulu’s laughter rang out.
“Hahahahahahaha.”
“I thought that this Xu Qingnian was capable of much.”
“I didn’t expect it to be this kind of tactics? Hahahahahaha.”
Great General Tulu let out a loud laugh.
It drew the curiosity of the crowd.
“General, why are you laughing?”
The Fifth Prince was a little curious as he looked at Grand General Tulu and asked in confusion.
“Your Imperial Highness.”
“This secret letter was sent by the Clan King of Great Wei, who sent it from the military camp.”
“The letter mentions Xu Qingnian’s battle plan, and Xu Qingnian’s rattle.”
“Xu Qingnian had no fear of the Heavenly Thunder cannon at all, believing that the object was stiff and that he only needed to draw out ten thousand iron hors*men to find the location of the Heavenly Thunder cannon, thus limiting the damage and solving the cannon crisis.”
“Moreover, he even took the initiative to gather a million generals to fight against our barbarian kingdom in order to show off the strength of Great Wei.”
“This is seeking death!”
Grand General Tulu said with unparalleled confidence.
The worry in his heart was also completely gone.
He had heard of Xu Qingnian’s origins and knew that Xu Qingnian was no ordinary person, so it was impossible to say that he did not panic when he fought against Xu Qingnian this time.
Especially since he had met Xu Qingnian today, he did not feel that Xu Qingnian was an idle person.
However, when the secret message arrived, he was completely relieved that
Xu Qingnian’s overall thinking was not wrong, it was ordinary and had a reason, without the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, he would not have felt that Xu Qingnian was nothing more than that.
But because there was the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, Xu Qingnian still did this, so he felt that Xu Qingnian was no more than that.
The power of the Heavenly Thunder Cannon was obvious to the barbarians.
They had discussed internally how to deal with it if they encountered it.
The result of the discussion was unanimous: no one should gather an army, avoid the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, find it at the first opportunity, and destroy this war weapon.
Until it was destroyed, it must never be hardened.
This was the thinking of the barbarians up and down.
However, Xu Qingnian had gone so far as to gather an army, clearly looking down on the Heavenly Thunder Cannon.
This was contempt.
The greatest mistake a soldier could make was to take it lightly.
Once you take the enemy lightly, then you lose half of the battle first.
“Pa*s on my military orders, the three armies a*semble.”
Thinking of this, Grand General Tulu spoke out, he wanted the three armies to a*semble.
“Grand General, how can we suddenly a*semble? Right now, there are already 200,000 barbarian armies gathered in the Skywolf Mountain Range, one after another, there will be another 100,000 armies coming, if we gather more troops, it won’t be good for us.”
Someone spoke up and persuaded Grand General Tulu that 300,000 troops were already enough.
But Grand General Tulu shook his head, and within the military camp, he looked incredibly confident and said.
“I have figured out Xu Qingnian’s nature.”
“The fact that he dares to say the words that the first battle is both the final battle today means that Xu Qingnian has absolute confidence.”
“The first battle in the Great Wei va*sal state has allowed him to accumulate an extremely high level of confidence, so he wants to use the first battle to raise the morale of the army.”
“Raising Great Wei’s morale is why he has gathered a million troops.”
“It won’t take that many soldiers and horses to actually go to war, Xu Qingnian just wants to make a statement and we must get them to drop their guard.”
“If there is a big battle in three days’ time, Wei will have a million soldiers and horses while we only have 300,000 troops, it will make the other side suspicious.”
“The more others there are, the greater the effect of the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, we just want to make them swell up, it is better for everyone to despise us, in this way, this battle can wipe out 300,000, 400,000, or even 500,000 of the enemy.”
“If the heavens were to help us, we might be able to annihilate an army of a million.”
“If that were to happen, the Barbarian Kingdom, in one battle, would be sealed as a god.”
The more Grand General Tulu spoke, the more excited he became.
As the crowd listened, they too could not help but be excited and thrilled, but there were some who sang the opposite tune.
“But, what if this is Xu Qingnian’s ploy?”
“My subordinate has heard of this Xu Qingnian, who is full of tricks, he shouldn’t be this gullible, right?”
Someone else spoke up, not thinking that Xu Qingnian would be so gullible.
But when this was said, Grand General Tulu shook his head.
“No, it’s not that Xu Qingnian was lightly defeated, but the world doesn’t know how powerful the Heavenly Thunder Cannon really is.”
“If it were me, I would have done the same thing. Think about it yourselves, before the Sky Thunder Cannon appeared, if you were the Commander of Great Wei, what would you have done?”
Great General Tulu did not think that this was Xu Qingnian’s conspiracy and trickery.
Because the Heavenly Thunder Cannon was the key, the reason for Xu Qingnian’s gullibility was the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, and no one knew what the Heavenly Thunder Cannon was.
No one knew what the Heavenly Thunder Cannon was, but it was so powerful that one would never know how terrifying it was until they saw it with their own eyes.
Moreover, the Barbarian Kingdom had ten third-rate Heavenly Thunder Cannons, so if they were aimed at the Wei generals on all sides, it was really possible to achieve total annihilation.
After all, just because the Wei soldiers were iron-headed did not mean they were fools.
“Grand General, you should mention this to His Majesty, after all, the matter is very important.”
The other side also approved of Grand General Tulu’s remarks.
But the problem was that gathering the three armies, this had to be by His Majesty’s decree, otherwise, there was still a risk.
The man was singing a contradictory tune, but Grand General Tulu was not angry, this was normal, in the middle of a war, someone had to sing a contradictory tune, any crisis had to be spoken about.
After all, one mistake could mean that thousands or even tens of thousands of people would die as a result.
“Your Highness the Fifth Prince, write a letter for me and send it to His Majesty, informing him of the current situation, so that His Majesty can make a decision.”
Grand General Tulu said so.
Let the fifth prince do this.
The latter nodded, and without any nonsense, immediately went to write the letter.
When the fifth prince wrote the letter.
Grand General Tulu looked at the sand table, a cold intent in his eyes.
“Xu Qingnian.”
“That’s it?”
This was Grand General Tulu’s inner thoughts.
About half an hour later.
The barbarian royal family gave a response.
Agreeing with Grand General Tulu’s view, but there was still some problem with a million troops, tentatively set at 700,000, leaving 300,000 to guard the barbarians.
As emperor, he naturally had to have scruples, not only about Great Wei, but sometimes also about Grand General Tulu.
Giving 700,000 was also a sign of absolute trust.
Therefore, when he learned of this news, General Tulu was not angry, but understood what the barbarian king meant.
Seven hundred thousand troops would be enough.
At the same time, the barbarian king also said another piece of news.
The two great dynasties, as well as some people were secretly deploying at least twenty second-grade powerhouses, would join the battlefield and a*sist them, if necessary, to kill Xu Qingnian.
There was no need to capture him alive.
This was the barbarian king’s secret order, which also filled Grand General Tulu with confidence.
Twenty second rankers, this could complete the final reaping if they joined the battlefield.
It was too powerful at a critical moment.
And so it was.
Little by little, time pa*sed.
In the past two days, whether it was Great Wei, or Chu Yuan, or Sudden Evil, the three great kingdoms, including the barbarians, were all discussing this matter.
The two kingdoms were at war, and one was the Great Wei, which was back in its prime.
The other is the barbarians, who are already warlike and have secret weapons.
The battle between the two was naturally a matter of international concern.
In the Sky Wolf Mountain Range, the two armies shouted at each other, originally a million armies was just a description.
But now, it was true that both sides had gathered a million men each.
This was exaggerated.
The whole mountain range was full of people, and each one was an elite, and it was a pity to see one die.
The battle at hand was destined to be exciting and to shock the world.
Whether Great Wei wins or the barbarians win, the price paid by both sides will only be great.
Inside the Great Wei’s military machine camp.
Xu Qingnian looked at the increasing number of barbarian generals.
He looked more and more calm.
Within the camp, there were spies of the barbarians, or rather, there were spies of the Primordial Yuan Dynasty or the Tusi Dynasty.
There was no doubt about it.
Knowing that there was a spy, Xu Qingnian had told them his battle plan in order to make the barbarians think that they had been lightly defeated.
Now the other side had really fallen for it.
Tomorrow’s battle.
It was destined to be an unforgettable battle.
Late at night.
Less than four hours before the third day of the battle.
The territory of the Great Wei.
The imperial palace is lit by daylight.
The Minister of War and all the civil servants of the court are waiting for the opportunity to fight ahead.
No one could sleep.
If this battle is lost, it will be unbearably painful for the Great Wei.
It was enough that the Zhongzhou Dragon Tripod was not there.
It would be the end of a flourishing Wei, and it would be the end of a flourishing Wei.
And if the first battle was lost, the knock-on effects would be even greater.
It is possible that the fortunes of Great Wei will sink once again.
It was no problem for Great Wei to rise against the tide once, but for it to rise against the tide twice would be too difficult.
It might even be that Great Wei would have to cede land and so on.
These are the results of a defeat in battle.
So all of Wei was concerned about the war, and if they won, everything would be fine, but if they lost, nothing would be fine.
And among the imperial prison.
When Prince Huai Ning heard the deployment of the two armies, his whole body could not help but frown.
“Why is he doing this?”
“The Heavenly Thunder Cannon, something like that, there’s no way Xu Qingnian doesn’t know how strong he is.”
“He’s not the kind of person to take the enemy lightly.”
Prince Huai Ning frowned, he was not involved in the war but could guess a lot of things from the way the two armies fought.
Learning that Xu Qingnian had a*sembled three armies, this was clearly problematic.
A full hour pa*sed.
Suddenly.
Prince Huining’s eyes opened.
“He has a stronger killing weapon.”
“Similar to the Heavenly Thunder Cannon.”
“It’s very powerful, so powerful that Xu Qingnian has absolute confidence.”
Prince Huai Ning guessed, and his entire being was shocked.
Guessing why Xu Qingnian had done so.
“Hahahahahahaha.”
“Hahahahahahaha, win, win.”
“My king, finally won.”
Inside the imperial prison, Prince Huai Ning’s cheerful laughter rang out.
It aroused the curiosity of many people.
Especially Ji Yuan, who could not help himself, looked at Prince Huaining and said.
“Uncle Wang, why are you laughing?”
Ji Yuan asked curiously.
Prince Huaining did not answer, but took a deep breath and clenched his fists, looking incomparably excited.
It was because he had won.
He was bound to win this time.
“No, it’s not right.”
“You can’t say that so early yet.”
“I haven’t won yet, my king hasn’t won yet, let’s wait for the results to come out.”
Prince Huaining’s heart was palpitating, he didn’t want to say such things too early, in case he made another mistake, that would really be a reincarnation of the sweeper.
And so it was.
The time came the following day.
It was celestial time.
It was not yet dawn.
The two armies were facing each other in the Skywolf Mountains, and all the deployments were ready, large stone throwers, iron armour, supply wagons, cavalry, everything was ready.
Amongst the barbarian kingdoms, heavenly thunder cannons had been set up in the distance, so that once the war opened, at the critical moment, they would deliver a heavy blow.
“Open the city gates.”
It was also at this moment.
With the sound of war drums, in the middle of the barbarian kingdom, the city gates opened wide, and Great General Tulu stepped out, riding on a foreign beast, his eyes extremely sharp.
He was in a surging mood.
But outwardly he pretended to be calm.
The battle of a million armies was a battle big enough for any general to be recorded in the history books.
No matter who wins or loses.
It would be recorded in history.
Boom boom boom.
Boom, boom, boom.
The thunderous sound of war drums rang out.
From the Great Wei.
As the war drums vibrated, the soldiers’ blood boiled at this moment.
One hour to go.
The great battle was about to begin.
It was destined to be a life-and-death battle, destined to spill blood.
Countless eyes were focused on it.
The Primordial Yuan Dynasty, the Sudden Evil Dynasty, were even observing the great battle with their magic weapons, any scene they did not want to miss.
“Xu Qingnian!”
“Surrender to the Barbarian Kingdom, this battle may crown you as the King of Great Wei, this is the decree of the Barbarian King, giving you one last chance.”
Great General Tulu’s voice rang out.
He called out across the air.
To get Xu Qingnian to surrender.
“The first battle is both the final battle.”
However, the words in response to Grand General Tulu’s words were merely this one.
It was exactly the same as it was three days ago.
The next moment.
Xu Qingnian appeared in front of the Great Wei generals, not on horseback, but on foot.
Looking at Xu Qingnian who had appeared.
The latter sneered.
There was contempt in his eyes.
There was also a sense of pity.
A mythical man, a sub-saint of Confucianism and a second-ranking supreme being of the martial arts, was going to die in his own hands today.
And the other party was still unaware of it.
How could this not make him feel pity?
“Xu Qingnian.”
“This battle, you will lose for sure.”
There was still less than half an hour left.
At this moment, Grand General Tulu’s voice rang out.
He looked at Xu Qingnian and his words were filled with confidence.
In the last half hour, there was no longer any chance of a turnaround.
There was no change in the Great Wei generals, which meant that all the plans were under control, everything, everything was predetermined.
Hearing Grand General Tulu’s voice.
Xu Qingnian was calm, he did not reply.
Nor did he use any pitying look.
Instead, he was bland, incomparably bland. In his eyes, it did not matter if all the barbarians died.
Why should there be any need for pity?
Sensing the indifference in Xu Qingnian’s eyes, Grand General Tulu did not feel anger, but rather emotion.
“Prince of Great Wei, sub-saint of Confucianism, supreme of martial arts, there are so many auras on you, each one of them makes people ashamed.”
“Each one of them is the envy of the world.”
“To be honest, if you were a member of my barbarian race, your achievements would definitely be more than these.”
“Unfortunately, you are not, you are like a comet that pa*ses away in a flash.”
“Xu Qingnian, do you know what your biggest mistake was?”
Grand General Tulu looked incredibly confident as he said.
He already thought that he was sure to win.
So riding on the fact that the war had not yet completely started, he said some words that were there.
“What a lot of nonsense.”
Xu Qingnian spoke out coldly.
And the latter was not annoyed, after all, in his eyes, Xu Qingnian was destined to perish, even if Xu Qingnian did not die in this war.
His reputation, too, would instantly fall to the ground, as if killing him made no difference.
“Your biggest mistake was choosing to fight the barbarians.”
“Today, I’ll let you see how powerful the barbarian race is.”
As he said this, Grand General Tulu waved his hand.
In an instant the two armies were neatly divided, leaving ten gaps, which was the range of attack prepared for the Heavenly Thunder Cannon.
“Your Majesty, be careful.”
In an instant, the marquises spoke up, telling Xu Qingnian to be careful.
The barbarians were so disgusting that they were going to strike two quarters of an hour in advance.
But Xu Qingnian did not dodge.
Instead, he raised his hand.
All of a sudden, the Hao Ran Wen Zhong appeared, and a divine Martial Cannon, appeared in the sight of the crowd.
The divine Martial Cannon, covered in brilliant gold, was as dazzling as the sun when it appeared.
Only the moment the Divine Martial Cannon appeared.
All the forces were stunned.
Especially the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, they did not expect that the Great Wei had a Heavenly Thunder Cannon as well.
No, it wasn’t a Heavenly Thunder Cannon, but it should be something similar.
Grand General Tulu frowned.
He was not sure what this thing was, but it inexplicably created palpitations.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
The sound of a cannon rang out, coming from ten miles away. To prevent the Great Wei generals from raiding the Heavenly Thunder cannon, they chose to place it ten miles away, preferring to destroy the ancient city.
It wasn’t their city anyway.
The sound of the cannon rang out, looking incomparably frightening.
The barbarians made their move by mentioning the point, not giving any chance.
However.
Xu Qingnian gathered a martial energy and injected it into the Divine Martial Cannon.
Boom.
It was almost an instant.
A deafening sound rang out.
In an instant, the heavens and the earth changed colour.
The originally clear sky was instantly filled with dark clouds at this moment.
The terrifying power of thunder was declared from within the Divine Martial Cannon.
The heavenly thunder killed out.
It swept across a hundred miles.
An incomparable light blazed out, forcing its way out.
Everyone could only see the light.
Nothing could be seen.
The earth trembled.
The earth shook and the mountains shook.
The light, obscuring everything that was there.
The Great Wei generals were dumbfounded, numbed by the shaking.
And the barbarian generals, even if they wanted to be dumbfounded, were useless.
They were reduced to ashes in the midst of the light.
In particular, the great general Tulu, who had been unbeatable just now, had his armour burst out in a terrifying light, trying to block the divine martial cannon, but in the end, it cracked inch by inch.
It was like a sun shooting over.
Boom boom boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
From the north of the Skywolf Mountain Range, a terrifying thunderbolt pushed across three hundred miles.
Three hundred miles in its entirety.
The earth trembled, and the terrifying sound could be heard clearly from a thousand miles away.
And on the battlefield, this beam of light lasted too long.
It really did seem like a sun.
Dazzling.
Falling from the vault of heaven.
The earth crumbled, the mountains boiled, and a river, a hundred miles away, was directly evaporated clean.
And in the midst of the radiance, seven hundred thousand troops, instantly turned into clouds of smoke, they didn’t even have time to speak or even think.
Just like that, they were sacrificed.
It lasted for a full quarter of an hour.
Only then did the light disappear.
On the battlefield, the millions of Great Wei generals still found it difficult to open their eyes, especially those in the front row, whose eyes were dripping with blood, but were not blind, but were blindingly blinded by this intense light and needed to recuperate for some time.
But all the great powers of the world were watching this great battle.
The Great Wei, the First Yuan, the Sudden Evil, the Barbarian Kingdom, the Eastern Continent, the Western Continent, the Northern Continent and the Southern Continent, were all watching this great battle.
They were using all kinds of magic weapons to watch it.
When the light disappeared.
Everyone was frozen.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Everyone was unable to utter a single word.
A terrifying chasm appeared, the ground sank at least a few dozen feet, black smoke filled the air, and scorched earth was everywhere.
And the barbarians’ 700,000-strong army.
Smoke disappeared ……. The clouds dispersed.
Fixing their eyes, there were less than a few people left.
Four in all, second-grade martial artists, and the fifth prince, who was protected by extremely strong armour.
A life was left.
But these four, too, were now seriously injured; they hadn’t died, but they had also suffered extremely serious injuries.
It would have ended much worse.
Quiet.
Quiet.
Quiet.
Absolute silence.
No one could say anything, not even in the Great Wei courtroom, and the crowd didn’t know what to say.
Suddenly.
Primordial Yuan Dynasty.
“It’s a First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon.”
“This can’t be.”
“This is absolutely impossible.”
This moment.
An incomparably shocked voice rang out.
