The local county and state officials naturally scoffed at this, thinking that someone was stirring up trouble. After all, some unruly people liked to do this before they started a rebellion.

They immediately mobilized some people to investigate and try to find out who was behind the incident.

Then there is no more.

No one returned.

The local officials who did not believe in evil sent people again, but the result was still the same.

It's not just one or two missing people, but dozens!

This frightened the officials, and they quickly wrote letters everywhere, asking for support, and even asked Shangshan, who was stationed in Nanchang, for help.

So, some Green Camp soldiers were ordered to set out -

But they were not happy at all.

The good stuff is currently reserved for the Eight Banners masters.

In the middle of winter, I was rewarded with a hearty meal, a bottle of strong liquor, a tael of silver, a moldy cotton coat, a rusty spear, kerosene with a suspicious smell, and a bird gun that no one knew if it would fire...

Just throw it away and mess around, not even knowing who your opponent is.

The Green Camp soldiers were naturally full of complaints.

Moreover, they had a terrible guess in their minds.

"Captain, could it be that the King of Dian from Ganzhou is attacking us?" the Green Camp soldier said hesitantly.

"How is that possible?" The captain shook off the snow on his body.

"Didn't they say that the imperial army has stopped the bandits in Ganzhou?"

"Now the Yunnan rebels are exhausted and have suffered heavy losses-

"We're just waiting for the spring of next year when the imperial army will march south and wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop.

They also said the same thing before the Battle of East Sichuan and the Battle of Yuezhou.” The Green Camp soldier muttered.

"What did you say?

"Nothing." The Green Camp soldier nodded and bowed.

"I mean, what do you think..."

The next second, the Green Camp soldiers' faces turned the color of liver.

“Boss! Boss!!”

"What?"

“Someone is pulling my legs!!”

The Green Camp captain subconsciously lowered his head and saw a large blue-black hand stretched out from the Green Camp soldier's calf, which was deeply stuck in the snow.

"ah!!"

“There’s a ghost!!!

"The snow is talking!"

"Bang, bang, bang!" Snowflakes flew and the screams of the Green Camp soldiers seemed like the opening whistle, and countless shadows emerged from under the snow.

It can be seen that they have been waiting for a long time.

"Kill!" Shu Yichao gave an order, and the mushrooms that were lying in ambush swarmed out and chopped their butcher knives at the terrified Qin Jun's head.

The steep and rugged mountains left them no room to move.

Amidst screams and cries, they were either chopped into pieces by the vine armor fungus, or fell off cliffs in a panic, or stepped into ponds or ditches covered with thin ice and snow and died of hypothermia in a short time.

"Killed another team."

Shu Yichao snapped his fingers.

"Go on."

Then, the army of plants continued to advance along the mountains where the wind and snow were less, and there were caves and leeward places.

Shu Yichao has already left Ganzhou.

Yue Le felt that he had firmly defended Ganzhou City and firmly pinned down the offensive of the plant army.

But he didn't think about one problem.

"Who said I have to attack?" Shu Yichao hummed a little tune while commanding the plant army to move forward.

Yes.

The debuff of midwinter is really exaggerated, making the plant army almost lose its offensive capability.

but·

Siege has always been the mainstream means of attacking a city.

If you can't take a city, just don't attack it.

Surround, the main force continues to advance!

So Shu Yichao left part of his troops behind to surround Ganzhou City, occasionally making a move to draw a prize.

As for the main force, they advanced along the mountain roads and rivers to various parts of Jiangxi, just like a spider web that completely surrounded the small insect called Ganzhou City.

Such actions made Shangshan in Nanchang almost crazy.

"Wan'an, Tai'an, Ji'an, Xinyu

"Everyone is hostile!!?"

"Is this a mistake?"

"No mistake!" The general of the Qin army who came to report the news still had a blood mark on his face from being hit by a gun bullet.

"I am absolutely not mistaken!

There was fear on the face of the general of the Xuan army.

"The rumors of ghosts everywhere before were all made up by bandits!"

"Valleys, villages, caves..."

"Anywhere the temperature is even slightly higher, there are bandits everywhere!

"Those unruly villagers have completely forgotten your majesty's great kindness. They even lent their cellars to the bandits, letting them rest in them."

"General-

"Now, half of Jiangxi, except for the larger cities, towns and villages have been effectively occupied by bandits!"

Since the imperial power did not extend below the county level, the Jiangxi army knew almost nothing about Shu Yichao's advance.

When they discovered that the army of plants was everywhere, they realized with horror that something bad had happened!

There are already densely packed fortresses everywhere.

"General, the defenses of those towns and villages are terrifying right now."

"Our army can't take it."

"And we can't even gather our main forces." The face of the general of the Xuan army was full of bitterness.

"No place in the rear is safe."

"Only some cavalry can still move quickly along the official roads, preventing us from becoming completely blind...

"Bring me the map and show me which places have been lost?" Shang Shan hurriedly asked his subordinates to bring the map.

At first glance, he began to complain bitterly.

"What a bastard!

"This Yue Le!"

"I told him not to go to Ganzhou, never go to Ganzhou -

"He just won't listen!"

"Your Majesty is far away in the capital, how can you know the specific situation in the south?"

"That's great!"

"I'm completely trapped!"

"Now I'm afraid there's no way to break out."

Shangshan gritted his teeth.

"Ruined."

"These tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are likely to be wiped out in Ganzhou."

Shangshan felt dizzy when she thought that another prince was going to die in Dacuo.

"Hiss-

"What should I do?"

In fact, Yue Le in Ganzhou also noticed something was wrong.

"strangeness.

"After so many days of fighting, the Yunnan rebels have suffered losses numbering in the hundreds of thousands."

"Why are there no fewer troops on the periphery?"

"Hmph!" Looking at the still huge and seemingly countless army of plants in the distance outside the city, Yue Le snorted coldly on the top of the city wall.

"It seems that the King of Dian wants to trap me to death in Ganzhou City."

"Ha ha

"The city has a strong army and sufficient food. I can hold out for a year or two without any problem!

Just when Yue Le made the boast, one of his confidants climbed up to the top of the city wall in a hurry.

"General!"

The faces of Yue Le's confidants were full of despair.

"We're running out of firewood!"

"Huh!?" Yue Le was stunned.

"What?"

In the warehouse, Yue Le was stunned looking at the few remaining firewood and coal.

"That's all?"

"How long will this last?"

Yue Le knew that food was very important when defending a city.

Therefore, the first thing he did when he arrived in Ganzhou was to search for food everywhere and slaughtered many wealthy families. The food reserves in the city were enough to last for three or four months.

But he didn't consider the severe cold weather at that time, so he didn't pay much attention to firewood and coal, just enough to survive the winter.

As a result, now...

Yue Le was indeed helped by luck, as the severe heavy snow almost destroyed the offensive capability of Shu Yichao's army.

However, God is fair, and the terrible weather is also testing the endurance of the army.

In the dead of winter, the consumption of firewood and coal increased sharply, and the original reserves were not enough.

As a result, the wrong army suffered.

"Hiss! When Yue Le thought about the soldiers under his command struggling in the terrible cold, he felt a chill in his heart.

If the snowstorm can freeze the plant spirits to death, then why can't it freeze the soldiers in the city to death?

As a Jianzhou native from the Liaodong region, Yue Le knew very well how terrible winter was.

"Hurry up." He hurriedly ordered his subordinates.

"Looking for firewood all over the city, no, looking for anything that can be used for fire!"

When he said this, Yue Le's voice even became sharp.
