The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

A shocking piece of news suddenly came from Yunnan.

The bandits in southern Yunnan rebelled, gathering hundreds of thousands of people and calling themselves the Holy Wood Western Heavenly King. They continued to worship Emperor Yongli and led a group of bandits, claiming to be rebelling against the invaders. They were said to have occupied the entire Yunnan province.

After Kunming fell, even Wu Fan's entire family was slaughtered.

Li Benshen initially thought it was a rumor.

Damn, the monsters come out again and again and are so cute.

This is too much of a fabrication.

But then, the urgent news reports that came one after another from the southwest told him that all this was true!

At the same time, a letter written by Liu Xuanchu and edited by Shu Yichao also came.

Originally, the manifesto written by Liu Xuanchu also included content about recruiting surrenders and traitors, and absorbing heroes from all over the country.

But Shu Yichao always ignored long articles and simply deleted most of them, leaving only the parts that interested him the most.

Thus, a murderous note of 1 cent was placed on Li Benshen's desk.

"hateful!"

"hateful!"

“These traitors, the world has been pacified.

"They are actually raising an army to cause chaos and harm the people. Their hearts are worthy of death!"

But no matter how much Li Benshen cursed, one thing was still right in front of him -

How to defend against the enemy?

Looking at the sharp arrow on the map pointing straight at him, Li Benshen was extremely anxious.

Unlike Wu Changbo, who was highly meritorious and had a strong army, he did not have many Green Camp soldiers under his command, and they were scattered across the place. Even if they were gathered together, there were only about ten thousand of them.

"This group of bandits..."

"Three million eight hundred thousand people?"

"Hmph, thirty-eight thousand."

"Hiss, but this is nearly 40,000 people."

"After capturing Yunnan and recruiting the troops of King Pingxi, I'm afraid there are still many veterans who are willing to fight."

“Hmm

“There’s no time to take care of other places.”

Li Benshen had no choice but to send orders to the Green Camp soldiers in various places, asking them to gather quickly and prepare to defend Guiyang.

“We can only take care of Guiyang first.”

"Guiyang City is strong, and the first target of those bandits should be to plunder the countryside and plunder the prefectures and counties."

"We will not attack Guiyang immediately."

“I should still have time to deploy my defense.

"As long as we hold this place and wait for the imperial reinforcements to arrive, we will surely be able to defeat these rebellious traitors."

He planned it well.

However, something went wrong at the first step.

"Where are the soldiers?" Li Benshen's eyes were bloodshot, and he kicked over a general of the Jing army who had just arrived.

"Where are your soldiers!?"

"Just a few?"

He pointed at the soldiers with queues behind the general, who were covered in blood, in tattered clothes, and even missing limbs, and roared.

"What the hell did you do?!"

Unexpectedly, after being kicked down by Li Benshen, the general burst into tears and sobbed while holding Li Benshen's thigh.

"Sir Admiral."

“They’re all dead!”

“They’re all dead!”

He was crying and sobbing.

"After receiving the order, I wanted to come to Guiyang on the orders of the Admiral."

"Unexpectedly, while passing through the mountains and forests, we were ambushed by bandits-?

"Oh my God!"

"The mountains and plains are full of rookie soldiers, too numerous to count!"

"Their number is at least a hundred times ours!"

"All the brothers in my battalion are dead!"

"A clean death.

"Their guns are really powerful!"

"If I didn't have a good horse, and if my brothers didn't fight to the death to protect me, I would have been beheaded by now."

"Sir Admiral.

"The witchcraft of the Holy Wood Heavenly King is truly powerful."

"He can actually use plants and trees as soldiers."

“We are really no match for them.

..." Li Benshen almost fainted from anger.

There were not many soldiers to begin with, and this brainless man sent away thousands of them in a daze.

After the crushing defeat, he dared to come back and talk nonsense, saying that all the grass and trees had turned into soldiers of the Holy Wood King. It was really infuriating.

"Damn it!" Li Benshen cursed.

"He's just such a coward."

"I think you don't need to be a general anymore."

"Just go pick up horse manure."

Just when he was about to find someone to beat the general on the spot, smoke and dust rose outside the city.

"Sir Admiral.

"New troops have arrived."

"Their situation seems a bit..."

"Hmm?" Li Benshen's eyes were a little straight.

"What's going on with you guys?!"

Covered in blood, with broken armor and a sparsely populated army, it was obvious at first glance that they were another defeated army.

"Were they ambushed as well?"

"No." The defeated soldiers cried.

"Admiral, we have encountered the army of Meng Jun Ma Ni."

"The general was caught off guard and was ambushed and surrounded by the Meng army."

"The enemy's army is ten times larger than ours. Although the general fought hard and repeatedly defeated the Meng army's offensive, forcing them to retreat step by step and killing and wounding thousands of people, we are still outnumbered.

"Get out!" Li Benshen knocked him down with a single blow of his knife.

Another one who comes back from a defeat and talks nonsense.

“Hu, hu, hu” Li Ben’s eyes were red and he was breathing heavily.

"Asshole!"

“Asshole!!”

"Take these deserters down and behead them!"

"It's unfair! Admiral, we are wronged!

An execution was about to take place, but Li Benshen suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait, your base..."

“The place where you were attacked...

These two places should be quite far apart.

Why did they encounter the Grass King's Grass Soldiers almost at the same time?

Could it be that the Grass King divided his troops into several groups and launched the attack simultaneously?

But according to these people, the number of bandits is often more than ten times theirs...

How many bandits are there?

"...Send more scouts immediately, and make sure the reports from all over the country are sent to me as soon as possible!" Li Benshen ordered.

"We must find out exactly how many troops the bandits have!"

Chapter 720 - Southern Barbarian Invasion

"On the third day of April, the enemy troops captured Qujing, and the local defenders were completely routed."

"On the seventh day of the fourth month, the enemy troops conquered Xingyi."

"On the eighth day of the fourth month, the rebels occupied Xuanwei. The government troops came to meet them, but were caught off guard and ambushed, and their entire army was annihilated."

"April 13th..."

Li Benshen marked his map bit by bit according to the information brought back by scouts or pond reports.

The more he marked, the more cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Something is wrong!

Something is wrong!

Generally speaking, the army launching an expedition should focus its attention on wealthy big cities or important military towns.

As long as these places are captured, the rest of the places can be taken by simply issuing an order.

In other words, the points worth noting are basically those few points.

But the bandits who came out of eastern Yunnan this time obviously did not follow this pattern.

Everywhere is in distress, everywhere is reporting the massive influx of bandits, everywhere is being attacked

It's like a flood on a golden mountain, a whale swallowing up all the water!

"What a ghost!"

“Are there really that many soldiers?!”

Li Benshen dropped the ink pen in his hand, his cheeks shaking.

According to current estimates, even if the number of bandits in each group is reduced to the extreme

The number of the other side is at least over 100,000.

How credible is the amount of water injected into the manifesto?

"Bandits!"

"This is a group of bandits!"

In Li Benshen's opinion, only the bandits of the past could have such a great momentum.

But Yunnan...

There are so many people, no, monsters.
