"On average, twenty cannons serve one person." Shu Yichao laughed.

"How can this blessing be small?"

It is so small that the soldiers don’t know it.

But there is one thing they are clear about.

If you continue to hide in the fortress, you will die without a trace left.

"Brothers, run away!"

"Don't wait here to die!"

The troops in the various fortresses immediately fled in panic.

"kill!!

"Leave no one behind!"

The plant army split into dozens of groups, intercepting everywhere, and even chopped off the heads of people with rat-tail pigtails in front of the soldiers on the city wall, and then swung the pigtails for fun.

"Asshole!"

"That's too arrogant!"

Yue Le was furious.

The city gate opened, and dozens of riders rushed out like lightning, blowing towards the scattered plant army like a strong wind, ready to disperse them and rescue the fleeing army.

But these plant armies were not afraid at all. They used their bodies to withstand the cavalry's attacks, and the fire, bullets and flames continued.

After a series of exchanges, although the soldiers rescued some of the wrong troops who were fleeing, the exchange was more

"......" Yue Le couldn't help but get white hairs of cold sweat on his forehead.

It seemed that the cavalry was very powerful. With only a dozen casualties, they killed hundreds of bandits.

Can't afford to change!

Absolutely can't afford it!

Yue Le now understood why Shang Shan was so afraid of Shu Ruhu.

Even if it was a one for ten exchange, how many people in the Jianzhou Eight Banners could fight a war of attrition with the bandits?

"Great General!

"It seems the bandits are preparing to attack the city!"

At this moment, the general beside Yue Le screamed in surprise.

Yue Le looked up.

There were hundreds of corn cannons outside, all lined up in formation, and a devastating bombardment seemed about to fall on their heads.

The soldiers on the city walls were all trembling with fear, their faces pale.

"Great, great general!"

"Hurry and retreat back to the city!"

"I can't stand this!"

There was a hint of confusion in Yue Le's eyes.

He knew that Shu Yichao's army must be powerful, otherwise they would not have taken over one third of the world in just one year.

But seeing it today, this is too exaggerated!

Yue Le never imagined that these grass-roots soldiers would be so powerful.

If this is the case, how can Ganzhou City be defended?

But fortunately, at this moment, the right time that Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong had mentioned finally arrived.

“Crash!!”

“Bang!!”

The cold wind howled, the snow raged, and the terrifying hail mixed with the wind and snow fell like a torrential rain.

[You encountered an extreme snowstorm.]

[Your troops' HP limit is reduced by 30% to 55% and 10%, and HP is slowly depleted over time. Physical strength is reduced by 25% to 60%, and lethality is reduced by 30% to 50%...]

"What the hell!?"

"Isn't this a bit too much!?"

Looking at his plant army, which suffered heavy casualties in the blink of an eye under the bombardment of blizzard and hail, and whose attributes began to plummet again, Shu Yichao was speechless.

"Hahaha!!"

"God helps me!!" Yue Le was ecstatic.

"God help me, Dacheng!

"My sons!

“See?

“God is on our side!”

“Defend the city!!”

"Turn this Ganzhou City into an iron wall!"

Chapter 763 - The Snow is Talking

"Bang!'

"BOOM!!!"

"Kill!"

“Kill!!”

Cannons roared, muskets roared, and arrows whistled.

-Teams of cavalry galloped out at lightning speed, like thunderbolts falling from the sky, piercing the dark clouds of midwinter.

The plant army, which was advancing slowly in the freezing weather, had already discovered the cavalry, but was still unable to make any more effective responses due to the terribly cold weather.

The cavalry brigade easily crashed into their ranks and in a very short time, slaughtered the plant army.

And then they broke into the artillery position of the corn cannon.

The corn cannon, which had no melee capability, certainly had no room for counterattack and was slaughtered in an instant.

A moment later, the cavalry quickly returned to the city, not giving the rest of the plant army any chance to encircle them.

"Hahaha!!!"

"Warriors, congratulations on your victorious return!

The officers came forward joyfully, their faces beaming.

The weather is getting colder now.

Amidst the blowing wind and snow, the plant army's offensive encountered unprecedented severe challenges.

The earth was frozen, and the solid permafrost made it impossible for the army of plants to take root.

Especially in areas close to Ganzhou City, the soil was harder, and the army of plants advanced step by step with no difficulty, so the technology of digging the ground and blasting the city walls could not be used at all.

If Shu Yichao's plant army wanted to advance, they would have to advance from places with slightly higher temperatures such as mountains and rivers, and there would be a lot of non-combat casualties along the way.

As time went by, the plant army could no longer form the violent wave-like attacks of the past.

The numerical advantage of the plant army that could be deployed on the battlefield was greatly offset.

At the same time, the combat effectiveness of the plant army was greatly weakened, and the exchange ratio with the Qin army was further reduced.

Even the corn cannons could hardly cause much damage to the city walls.

Due to weather factors, the plant army even found it difficult to build fortifications. Their luck was extremely bad.

On the contrary, the Xuan army was less affected by the weather. The hard frozen soil even provided a place for the cavalry to gallop, making the Eight Banners' cavalry seem to have a place to use their skills again.

Yue Le was an experienced general who had fought many battles, and he keenly noticed this.

So he decided not to defend Ganzhou City to the death. He would go out of the city every day to make trouble, and he was constantly plotting and scheming. In just one month, he killed at least more than 50,000 plant soldiers, which was a brilliant achievement.

In addition, there was a lot of food in Ganzhou City, and Shu Yichao's style of fighting did not take many prisoners, which forced the Xuan army to fight desperately under desperate circumstances, and they burst out with powerful fighting power.

During the several fierce battles of the siege, Ganzhou's army never lost the upper hand, and even suffered only minor losses in the artillery battles. The entire Ganzhou city remained in high spirits.

"Your Majesty." Yue Le looked up at the sky, as if Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong appeared in front of him in the capital city.

"I will definitely live up to your trust and suppress the bandits here."

"As long as I live, Ganzhou City will stand!"

"You bandits, don't even think about taking over this iron wall!"

After Yue Le swore to the void in the north, his gaze couldn't help but look outside the city again.

"It's a pity that the King of Dian showed up and then left."

"I really want to know how he reacted after seeing his army being beaten to such a pulp under Ganzhou City.

"Hum hum."

"His face must be very interesting."

Yue Le is full of confidence and feels that he can continue to fight with Shu Yichao

After all, no matter how you look at it now, Shu Yichao's plant army has no chance of capturing Ganzhou City. They can only bleed dry under the city walls.

Is this really the case?

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and its cool moonlight falls on the bright snow, emitting a faint glow.

The biting cold wind howled through the branches of the trees from time to time, causing the snow to fall...

The whole scene makes people feel cold to the core, as if ghosts may emerge from the woods at any time.

“Crack, crack!”

A sound of footsteps broke the tranquility in the woods.

I saw several Eight Banners soldiers wearing cotton armor, ordering a group of Green Camp soldiers wearing cotton clothes, as they trudged through the snow along a mountain path.

"Captain." A Green Camp soldier approached another big man who looked like an officer with beads on his head.

"I, I always feel like there are ghosts around."

There was a tearful tone in his words.

"Are we really going to walk all the way here?"

"I heard about it."

"Some time ago, several waves of soldiers disappeared without a trace once they entered the mountains.

"They were all captured by monsters and had their hearts carved into them."

"Those monsters and ghosts love to hide in the mountains and forests and catch people to eat.

"With so few of us, wouldn't it be suicide if we went into the mountains?"

"What's the point of you telling me this?" The Green Camp captain exhaled a puff of white air and took a deep breath.

"Military orders are like mountains, who dares to disobey?"

A few days ago, many strange things happened from Nanchang to Ji'an.

What about ghosts in the dark night, strange laughter in the mountains, screams in the river, and the noises heard in the deserted village...

There are countless strange things happening, which make people panic.

At that time, some people spread rumors that the gates of hell had been opened and that the innocent ghosts had sneaked into the world of the living, ready to find scapegoats.
