The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

Amid the cheers of the Tumo army, they once again completely annihilated the clowns who came to invade Tiemen Pass.

And then, they didn't feel happy for too long -

The army of clay figurines once again appeared at the end of the horizon.

“…” The hands of the Great Saint Snow Wizard began to tremble slightly.

Chapter 165 - I'll Hit You in the Face Right Now

"Daboli?"

"Little Boli?"

Shu Yichao looked at the map.

"This color is just an eyesore."

Although we have to attack Dayuan and force them to resume the tradition of paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty with celestial horses.

But this does not mean that Shu Yichao will go in a straight line.

Since I'm free anyway, I might as well beat up all the countries along the way.

reason?

The reason is that I don't obey the king——

Tell me, how many years of tribute have you owed the Tang Dynasty?

Then, Shu Yichao threw the large army into Tiemenguan to kill it, and at the same time personally led his troops to attack Daboli and Xiaoboli.

Of course, Shu Yichao is more familiar with the name of this place...

“Kashmir, I guess.”

"Whatever, this place has been here since ancient times."

Little Boli.

Inside a magnificent building.

"I have met the envoy of the Holy Kingdom and the great Venerable—"

A group of ministers from the small Boli Kingdom walked into the hall, and then knelt down and saluted Bebuya Liyi who was sitting high on the throne.

As for their king, he was sitting on a small stool next to them.

No one dared to glare at the envoys of the Tumo Empire for their arrogant and rude behavior.

Because they knew that if they dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction, they would incur terrible revenge from the opposing wizard.

"I wonder why the Holy Envoy has come this time?"

After all the ministers and elders had paid their respects, the King of Xiaoboli asked cautiously.

Biebuya Rie just shook the wine glass in her hand without saying a word.

The hall fell into silence.

Cold sweat broke out on King Boli's forehead.

I wonder if I have offended this messenger in some way.

Hiss—it shouldn’t be that bad.

After all, I am a relative of the Tumo Empire, so they wouldn't turn against me for no reason.

After a long while, he finally heard Bebuyari's words with trepidation.

"Tang invaders are causing chaos in the Western Regions."

"Now we need to draw troops from you to quell the rebellion."

"You have no objection."

"No problem, no problem." King Boli shook his head like a rattle.

joke!

How dare he have an opinion?

Are you tired of living, or do you want your skin to be peeled off and made into a human-skin drum?

Fortunately, fortunately——

He was relieved.

Just here to recruit some soldiers.

In addition, it is estimated that a large sum of money will have to be spent to bribe this holy envoy.

It won't cause any serious injuries.

Unexpectedly, after the banquet, just when King Boli was about to arrange related matters, his confidant stopped him.

"My king, regarding the matter of sending troops, should we... give it some more thought?"

“…” King Boli was stunned for a moment, then asked.

"What rumors have you heard?"

"Your Majesty, don't you find it strange?" said King Boli's confidant.

"Normally, the Tumo people would look down on our small group of people."

"When there were rebellions in the past, the Tumu people were able to suppress them themselves. Why would they need to mobilize our troops?"

"And I heard from the people down there..."

"This time in the Western Regions, the Tang invaders caused quite a stir."

"The Tumo people were beaten badly..."

"Are you trying to persuade me to change sides?" King Boli was speechless.

"Are you dumb?"

"We've only just reached this stage. The Tang army's strength is just a figment of our imagination. The truth is still uncertain."

"Besides, haven't they quarreled before?"

"In the end, it was suppressed."

"It will probably be the same this time." King Boli the Younger comforted his confidants.

"This time we're sending troops, most likely because the Tumu people think we've been rather submissive lately, and they're asking us to show some more—"

"If we can achieve more merit in suppressing this riot."

"If something good happens in the future, maybe it will be our turn."

“…” The confidant hesitated for a moment, still feeling something was wrong.

"My lord, I think... we can first mobilize the Mori people."

The Small Boli Kingdom and the Big Boli Kingdom are located in a plain among the mountains.

Although there are not many forests here, there are a lot of peaks and cliffs.

However, compared to the desolate places around here where only sand remains, this place can actually be considered lush and green.

In addition, some wicked person translated the description here and translated the stone mountain into a forest.

So the mountain people living in the mountains were confusedly called forest people.

Because the mountain people were so poor, many of them used their archery skills, which they had learned from hunting, to go out and serve as vassal soldiers to earn money to supplement their family income. Today, many of them serve in the armies of the two Boli states.

In addition, they often served as vassal troops of many countries.

Therefore, King Boli the Younger's confidants thought that they could let those untouchables die first.

If the Tumu Empire won, then naturally they would have contributed to the suppression of the rebellion and would have been meritorious.

If the Tang army won, then when accountability was called in later, it would be the Sen people who disobeyed the king's orders and acted on their own, and it would have nothing to do with them.

"I don't think you need to worry too much." But the king scoffed at this suggestion from his confidant.

"The Tang army is still in the Western Regions."

"It's freezing cold, could they still send troops here to attack us?"

“They can’t fly…”

King Boli the Younger was very confident about the terrain of his homeland - there were high mountains and steep cliffs covered with snow, making it extremely difficult to fight a war there.

Even during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, conquering this place was a huge undertaking.

What's more, what about the Anxi Army that has just successfully rebelled?

No one would leave the Tumu people who are so close to them and instead cross mountains and rivers to attack a small plateau country thousands of miles away that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

No way, no way.

"Your Majesty is right." The confidant thought about it and felt that what the king said was right.

He never mentioned the matter again.

They forgot that decades ago, there was actually a Tang army general who marched on the plateau, led his troops deep into the enemy's territory alone, and after a long raid, he completely defeated them.

"The Tang army is coming!!"

Lianyunbao is a key fortress leading to Xiaoboli.

The east, west, and south sides are all cliffs, and the north side is a river.

Easy to defend but difficult to attack, a dangerous place for military strategists.

Such a fortress would certainly not be in the hands of the Little Boli people.

Almost all the soldiers stationed here are Tumo soldiers, as well as some Sen people's vassal troops.

There are about 10,000 of them.

In theory, this is more than enough.

But when the defenders of Tumo saw the surging army of clay figurines,

The leader felt that the 10,000 people he had might not be enough to fill the gaps in the other side's teeth.

"General, don't be discouraged." The deputy general next to him saw that the general seemed a little scared and quickly encouraged him.

"Our place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the Tang army has more troops...ah!?"

The deputy general swore that he had never seen such a way of attacking an enemy.

What should I do if I encounter a ravine?

Build a ladder?

No, the clay figurines simply pushed the front army down and used them to fill the deep ditch, and then they could walk on flat ground.

How to cross the river?

Build a floating bridge?

No, the clay figurines jumped directly into the water and filled a wide road with mud and bones.

How to climb a high slope?

It’s still the same, the good brothers around me are the materials for building ladders...

Soon, a road leading directly to the fortress appeared.

The defenders of the entire fortress were stunned.

"Hiss, hiss!!" In their frightened eyes, the Anxi Ghost Riders riding on the giant lizard stepped onto the road at lightning speed and arrived in front of them in an instant.

Easily tore through their thin defense line.

"Not good!" Seeing his own side suffered heavy casualties in an instant, the defending general woke up as if from a dream and immediately prepared to call on the army to resist.

"Quick, quick, quick—grab your weapons!"

"Zi la!!"

Horrible thunder fell from the sky, instantly turning him into a charred corpse.
