The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

In the arduous battle, Li Laiheng and others were defeated.

Mao Shoudeng, the former governor sent by the Yongli court of the Meng army, surrendered.

One of the Thirteen Families of Kuidong.

Liu Tichun committed suicide after his defeat.

Hao Yaoqi and Yuan Zongde were captured and sacrificed.

Ma Tengyun, Dang Shousu, Ta Tianbao and others were unable to hold on and surrendered one after another...

Today, of the Thirteen Families of Kuidong, only Li Laiheng's "Loyal Camp" remains.

Not far away, the Jing army was still watching covetously.

Under the command of Li Qinxiang, the governor of Sichuan, the troops in the Kuidong area divided themselves into camps, erected wooden fortifications, and placed piles in rows, surrounding them closely.

Relying on rows of stakes and trenches, heavy troops besieged Li Laiheng's troops for several months.

No matter how you look at it, this remaining rebel force is not far from complete defeat.

But Li Qinxiang understood that things were far from that simple.

Li Laiheng's troops were in trouble, but wasn't the army also in trouble?

Almost 200,000 Jing troops have now crammed into the small Kuidong mountain area.

For so many people, food and fodder had to be transported by hand and on shoulders through the narrow and difficult mountain areas. The logistical pressure on the Jing Army was enormous.

If there is any slight mistake, the army may run out of food.

Just a few days ago, the general under his command came running to complain, saying that due to the rain, logistics were interrupted, there were only a few months' worth of food left in the camp, and the morale of the army was unstable.

Just when Li Qinxiang was extremely worried.

“Wow!”

"Alas!"

There was a cheer from the rear.

“The food has arrived!”

Li Qinxiang looked up and saw a thin green line winding from the distance on the narrow mountain path.

"Someone from Qingyun Villa?"

Li Qinxiang was overjoyed.

"Haha, this is easy now."

"Let's go." He called his confidants.

"We'll go meet them right away."

Soon, the thin green line revealed its true appearance.

They were a group of strong laborers with pigtails, exposed upper body muscles and sallow faces, and around them were young men and women in gorgeous clothes.

The leader among them was a beautiful woman wearing a green robe and a long sword hanging at her waist.

"Hahaha, niece Shixian." Li Qinxiang stepped forward quickly and laughed.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Uncle." The young woman, whom Li Qinxiang called his niece, bowed gently and saluted.

"I heard that the imperial court is suppressing bandits, and the army's food and fodder supply is insufficient, making transportation difficult."

"My father has been collecting donations in Shu and has ordered me to take the disciples of Qingyun Villa and search for porters and laborers to help my uncle transport food and fodder.

“Here are 30,000 shi of grain and fodder.

"Uncle, please count them."

"Hi." Li Qinxiang laughed.

"Mr. Shi is so loyal to his country, he truly deserves to be called a righteous man of Shu."

Qingyun Villa.

It is a major sect in Shu.

Well, to put it bluntly, it was an organization set up by local wealthy families to engage in shipping, smuggling, and pawnshops.

The sons of powerful families with extraordinary martial arts skills act as "heroes" and act in the situation.

After all, the imperial power does not extend below the county level, so the power vacuum in these places will inevitably be controlled by gangs, clans, and sects.

Even the imperial court often turned a blind eye to these people.

After all, the court's rule in the local area often requires the assistance of these people.

Look, just because Li Qinxiang is on good terms with the Shi family in Shu, he is now receiving help from the "righteous men" in the form of food and manpower.

"The traitors are coming!"

Just as the enemy soldiers were smiling happily, the roar of the army suddenly sounded from the trench in front of them.

"quick!"

"Stop them!"

Li Qinxiang turned his head and saw that the Meng army was holding ladders, sickles and axes, and was rushing towards the blockade line set up by the Qin army with great momentum.

"Kill!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Kill the monster!"

In an instant, guns and cannons fired at the same time, like a violent storm.

The Meng army all raised their arms and shouted, fighting desperately, and a fierce battle broke out immediately.

"Hmph." Li Qinxiang snorted.

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot, an ant trying to shake a tree, neither of them knows whether to live or die."

Li Laiheng was also a veteran who was used to fighting. Although he was trapped in the mountain stronghold, he did not cling to his weaknesses, but tried his best to get out of the stronghold and make trouble.

Various conspiracies and tricks emerged one after another. In the past few months, more than 500 soldiers of the Xuan Army had been killed or wounded, and the entire military camp was in a state of high tension because of him.

Li Qinxiang only had one solution for this.

Stubbornly.

Relying on their large numbers and numerous trenches, they were determined to trap Li Laiheng to death.

If you have the ability, you can rely on the thousands of people in your hands to break out of the siege.

I don’t know if you have the ability to do this.

As expected, after a fierce battle, the Meng army, which had not achieved much success, had no choice but to retreat.

There are more Jing troops guarding Mubao than Meng troops attacking the city. It would be a miracle if they could take it down.

"Niece Shi Xian, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." After repelling the Meng army, Li Qinxiang smiled at Shi Lanshu.

"The rebels are just causing trouble every day. Don't worry about it."

"Oh." Shi Lanshu sighed softly.

"It's clear that the world's fate is already decided."

"Why do these bandits still act against the will of Heaven, gathering in the mountains and forests to wreak havoc on the region?"

"After all, they are just a group of bandits at heart." Li Qinxiang said indifferently.

"How can one understand loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, love, propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame?"

"Uncle." Shi Lanshu asked.

"Have many more soldiers in the army been infected with the virus these days?"

"Of course." Li Qinxiang sighed.

Although the Eight Banners' zombie transformation and the Green Camp's zombie transformation have greatly enhanced the hardness of their skin, which is equivalent to having an extra set of armor out of thin air, their physical fitness has also been enhanced to a certain extent.

But the internal organs are still relatively fragile.

When it comes to suffering, it will be no less, and may even be worse.

"Especially those Green Camp soldiers from the north. They're not used to the climate and people are dying of illness every day."

There is a shortage of medicines, but all medicines must be supplied to the Jianzhou soldiers first.

Since it was a joint suppression operation by three provinces, naturally the Green Camp soldiers from all over the country would serve as cannon fodder in the front. The Eight Banners masters from Jianzhou who came from the capital would supervise the battle, so any good things would naturally be supplied to these Eight Banners masters first.

As a result, the already tight supply of materials has become even more difficult to sustain.

"Oh." Shi Lanshu sighed with compassion.

"What crime have the living beings committed?"

"Uncle, you warriors have served your country here, and your blood has been shed on the battlefield.

"How can Qingyun Villa just sit back and watch?

She bowed to Li Qinxiang.

"When I return, I will search the streets and markets for medicinal herbs for my uncle. I hope my uncle can quickly wipe out the bandits and bring peace to the people of Shu."

"My niece is so thoughtful."

"Governor!!" At this moment, a soldier with a pigtail rushed over.

"Business in the Central Military Tent!"

He said hurriedly.

"An order from the capital."

"It's said it's an 800-mile express!"

"Um?"

Chapter 727-Such a Heroine

The main tent in the army.

At this moment, there was complete silence in the central army tent.

In the tent, sitting in the main seat were Murima and Tuhai, the governors of Jianzhou sent from the capital, as well as Fukachan, the general of Xi'an, Dumin, the deputy governor, and others.

Most of these people have strong build and sturdy bodies, with a thin rat-tail braid hanging behind their bald heads, and only some light beard on their upper lips.

The pale and stiff face, the ferocious and bloodthirsty eyes, and the protruding fangs made him look like a living zombie.

When this group of people sat in the big tent, the tent was immediately filled with a chilling atmosphere of decay and barbarism.

As for the side seats, they were Huguang Governor Dong Xueli, Shaanxi Governor Wang Yizhen, Sichuan Governor Zheng Jiaolin and others.

"Wow."

At this moment, Li Qinxiang lifted the curtain and entered the tent.

"Sit down." Murima glanced at him and said coldly.

After Li Qinxiang sat down, Murima, who led the Eight Banners of the capital to join the encirclement and suppression of the Thirteen Families of Kuidong, slowly spoke.

"The imperial edict just arrived from the capital."

"Let us withdraw our troops."

"No!" Li Qinxiang subconsciously spoke to stop him.

He spent half of his life in Sichuan, and almost all of his achievements after his surrender were gained by pacifying Shu.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Li Qinxiang would never give up halfway.

"Li Ni is at the end of his rope. Now is the time to make a concerted effort and wipe out this gang of bandits.

He explained.

"If we retreat at this time, won't all our efforts be wasted?"
