The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

In addition, under normal circumstances, at least three-quarters of the so-called 100,000-man army are auxiliary troops rather than combat troops.

Therefore, he always believed that there should be only tens of thousands of bandits.

But now-...

Ah shit.

It turns out there really is an army of 200,000!

"That flag

"Is it really the remnant of the fake cuteness?

"Wait, isn't that cute?"

"Why Ming?"

In the green ocean, there were clearly flying huge flags with the word "Ming" made of leaves.

However, wasn’t the name of the previous dynasty “萌”?

Do they raise a "Ming" flag?

No, the cultural level of this group of evil bandits is too touching.

The slogan you guys are using can even contain typos.

The corners of Xia Guoxiang's mouth twitched.

But the next second, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Your Majesty!?"

A few days later, Wu Changbo finally returned to his loyal city of Kunming.

However, only part of it came back.

I saw a head with a pigtail, stuck on a flagpole, being shown off by the pea-gunners.

But that face was one that Xia Guoxiang was very familiar with.

"Bastard!!" He punched the city wall and gritted his teeth.

"These damn demon bandits!!"

Wangfu.

"Master, Master..."

Mrs. Wu was almost fainting from crying.

After several days of anxious waiting, what they got back was the heads of Wu Changbo and his army piled up like a mountain outside the city.

Inside the lobby, everyone had a look of fear on their faces.

Wu Jiaoying kept muttering.

"how so?"

"How could this be-

"Father is a great hero.

"He could live to be over seventy."

"How could I possibly be...

"What went wrong?"

"Madam," someone offered dryly amid the chaos.

“The enemy army is powerful.

“Kunming is difficult to defend.”

"Before the bandits can surround Kunming City from all sides."

"Let's retreat first!"

"Where there is life, there is hope."

"Whether it's Shu or Guizhou, they're both safer than here."

"The bandits are all plant monsters. Even though they have some semblance of human form, they are still slow in their movements."

"Besides, there are no cavalry on the other side. If we ride forward, we will definitely be able to..."

"No!!" Wu Jiaoying suddenly shouted, scaring the man.

She protested with red eyes.

"How can you be sure there aren't bandits ambushing us on the road?"

"This place is full of mountains and forests, and since there are bandits across the way, it would be easy for us to hide among them.

"In the mountains and forests, how are you going to tell which are trees and which are bandits in disguise?"

"My father and tens of thousands of his men were probably ambushed by those damned bandits..."

"If we evacuate in a hurry."

“You’ll only be caught up by the bandits.

"And those people outside the city will be our fate!!"

"Do you also want your heads chopped off and piled up like a mountain?"

Wu Jiaoying screamed sharply.

Those who wanted to evacuate Kunming lowered their heads and remained silent after being scolded by Wu Jiaoying.

"Huh, huh----" Wu Jiaoying panted.

In fact, she had another reason that she didn't tell me.

That is, Wu Changbo's fiefdom is in Yunnan, and all the glory and wealth of the Wu family are firmly tied here.

-Once they escape Yunnan, they will have nothing.

Therefore, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Wu Jiaoying will never abandon the city.

"Miss Fourth is right." Prime Minister Xia Guo said.

"Although the prince smiled."

"But the prince is still in the capital."

"The grandson is here too."

“In this critical moment, we must all work together to overcome the difficulties.

"Then what should we do?" someone asked with a sad face.

"The situation is extremely precarious right now. That's a real army of 200,000."

"The bandit army outside the city could attack at any time, but we are not yet prepared, and many places have not been repaired...

"Hehe." Wu Jiaoying lowered her head and chuckled.

“It’s a bit difficult to fight hard.”

"So we have to outsmart them."

"Just a bunch of bumpkin monsters that came out of the mountains."

"With a little trick, you can make them run around in circles.

Chapter 714 - Beheading Diplomacy

“豁

“It’s quite well prepared.

When Shu Yichao arrived at Kunming City with his army, Wu Fan's soldiers mobilized the military and civilians inside and outside Kunming City and had already renovated the city.

All the houses and trees outside the city were demolished and cut down, leaving only an open space suitable for the defenders inside the city to attack from a high position.

At the same time, several Acropolises outside the city also had flags flying, and it seemed that a considerable number of soldiers had been stationed there, forming a corner with each other.

Looking from afar, there is a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

"Yo ho."

"Looks like we have to lay siege to the city honestly."

The city was shrouded in fog, and it was unclear how many soldiers and equipment were deployed, and which direction the focus of defense was.

As soon as Shu Yichao saw the situation in front of him, he knew that it would be difficult to directly capture Kunming City with just the current pea-sized gunners.

After all, he was well aware of the weakness of his troops in close combat.

Generally, a siege that the defenders are well prepared for often turns into an extremely brutal meat grinder.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect to take Kunming City in one fell swoop.

Just as Shu Yichao was thinking about this.

There were shouts in the distance.

"let me go!"

"What are you going to do!?"

"I want to see your king!"

[Diplomatic options are activated

[A messenger has arrived from Kunming City.]

[He wants to see you.]

[From the envoy, you may be able to gain some understanding of Kunming City's defenses.]

[Do you agree?]

[Choose Yes to dispel the fog of war at a random location in the city.]

[If you choose No, the morale of the defenders in the city will drop slightly.]

"Hey, this is a pillow for you when you feel sleepy."

Soon, an old man with a white beard, escorted by several soldiers, was brought to Shu Yichao by the Pea Gunners.

"Huh?" The old man was slightly startled when he saw Shu Yichao.

He didn't expect that the one who commanded more than 100,000 plant monsters would be such a young and handsome boy.

"If you have something to say, say it. If you have to fart, fart." Shu Yichao is very straightforward.

The old man looked at Shu Yichao's hair carefully, his expression quite excited.

"...Are your troops the remaining troops of King Jin?"

"That's right." Shu Yichao pointed at himself.

"I am Daxi-

After thinking about it, I realized that the title of King of Daxi had already been used by Zhang Xianzhong.

So Shu Yichao changed his words instantly.

"I am the Great Western Heavenly King!"

"Kunming City has been conquered."

In one word, surrender or not?"

Shu Yichao was just about to listen to the other side to see if he was going to say, "Surrender? We can defend this city wall until we die!" when the old man shouted excitedly.

"Hahaha!! It's true!" The old man looked overjoyed.

"Since the Wu vassal state seized the land, countless lives have been harmed. The Wu vassal state allowed its soldiers to plunder and exploit the people harshly. Throughout Yunnan, countless families have been torn apart and destroyed."

"We, the tribesmen, have been waiting for the royal teacher for a long time!"

"......Sir!!" The soldiers around the old man were horrified.
