But Shu Yichao still has a mobile force.
-'Ma Bao.'
"I am here! I will be alive!" Ma Bao responded.
“I leave the pursuit to you.
"Yes!" Ma Bao assured, patting his chest.
"I will make sure those Tartar zombies never return!"
Afterwards, cries of despair and misery were heard from all over Jiangxi.
Just as Shangshan said, the large army could not move at all. The depleted food reserves and the intertwined army of plants made it impossible for the Xuan army to rush to Ganzhou's aid before eliminating all worries.
And the small forces...
No one dares to walk on the mountain road. After all, the snow and trees in Ganzhou can talk now.
Official Road
Ma Bao said that my knife is also very sharp.
The result was that many of the soldiers in the Xuan army lost their heads, but the rescue of Ganzhou was still a long way off.
The greatest achievement of the Xuan army was that they ran back after forty miles out of the city.
Unfortunately, because he ran too fast, when he arrived at the city of Nanchang, only his head was left.
As a result, the wrong troops in Nanchang were unwilling to leave the city to fight.
Even if they were forced to leave the city, they only covered ten miles in three days, which was considered rapid progress.
Just as the reinforcements were slow to advance, Yue Le in Ganzhou was almost in despair.
Ganzhou.
"General..."
A general, pale as a champ, stumbled in front of Yue Le.
"I, we..."
"How much more has been lost?" Yue Le closed his eyes in pain.
The firewood and coal were used up a while ago.
In such a cold winter, without firewood or coal for heating and cooking, people can really freeze to death.
The soldiers dug deep into the city, demolished houses, collected rotten wood, smashed rotten saddles and gun barrels, dug caves, and then huddled together for warmth...
But even so, it is still a drop in the bucket, and people freeze to death every day.
Finally, Yue Le had to turn his attention to the houses outside the city wall.
There, there are still some bushes and wooden houses that have not been destroyed.
However, there might be an ambush of plant armies around.
But Yue Le had no choice but to exchange human lives for cheap firewood.
".....Two, two hundred." The general's teeth were chattering.
"What's going on!?" Yue Le was furious. This number completely broke through his psychological defenses. He couldn't help but go up and kick him over.
"You lost two hundred men just chopping firewood!?
"Your servant, your servant didn't expect this either." The general cried.
"Those bandits actually secretly planted mines in the house!"
"We were careless for a moment and were surrounded."
"We didn't get any firewood, but we lost hundreds of men, and we were chased on the way back..."
"Woo-woo-woo."
"......" Yue Le shook his body and closed his eyes in pain again.
“From now on, you will no longer go out of town to chop firewood.
“Also, keep writing letters asking for help.
“Your Majesty will not ignore us.
After holding on for a while, something even more despairing happened to Yue Le.
The food is finished!
The terrible winter has greatly accelerated the consumption of stored food.
Coupled with the occasional fierce attacks from the plant army, the Qin army couldn't save food even if they wanted to.
Just like that, Yue Le's food reserves were no longer enough!
No food, no fire...
Cold and hunger completely enveloped the bleak city of Ganzhou.
"Damn, these bandits are too hard to defeat.
"We must find a way to break through."
Yue Le no longer had the ambition he had before, and only thought about whether he could escape from Shu Yichao's encirclement.
Then he discovered-
It was easy to defend before because the rookies were the ones who attacked without thinking.
And when it was his turn to attack, a small fortress was enough to cause him to lose many soldiers and generals, and he was beaten to a pulp without making any progress.
Not to mention the various small fortresses outside the city, which are scattered all over the place, countless and intertwined...
"Looking at the defeated soldiers who had fled back and died of freezing or starvation along the way, Yue Le felt a chill running through his bones, from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
If he relies on himself alone, he will probably not be able to break through.
"Write again for help!"
The flying pigeon left with the hope of Ganzhou City.
Yue Le would climb up to the top of the city wall from time to time, looking to the north and east and west, hoping to see the flags of the Dacheng Iron Cavalry fluttering.
Unfortunately, no matter how long he waited.
There was no sign of any reinforcements.
Then, the tragedy began.
The extremely hungry soldiers of the Qin army, with red eyes, began to target the only bit of "food" they had.
First they ate the corpses, then the people who starved to death, then the people who fainted from hunger, then they searched everywhere for the people who were hiding, and finally...
Kill each other!
Countless wounded, disabled, and even weak soldiers disappeared silently.
"You dogs!
“You can’t eat pigeons!”
An Eight Banners soldier who was once tall and mighty but was now just skin and bones was loudly scolding several Green Camp soldiers.
"If you eat it, there will be no more help...
"boom!!!"
Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the head by a Green Camp soldier behind him.
Looking at the Jianzhou Eight Banners soldiers who had fainted on the ground, several Green Camp soldiers looked at each other strangely.
"Zombie meat, can..."
"Shh. Void.
Soon, they dragged the body away quietly.
"The reinforcements haven't arrived yet?
Yue Le let out a cry of despair.
His eye sockets were deeply sunken, no longer as majestic as before, and looked like a rotten corpse that had just been dug out of a coffin.
Without reinforcements arriving, the Xuan army in Ganzhou City collapsed and disintegrated before the grassroots soldiers could even attack.
“…Great General!”
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside.
Then his personal guards rushed in, pointing outside and talking incoherently.
"That, that, outside, outside..."
"Have the reinforcements arrived?" Yue Le's eyes lit up.
If rescue arrives, it will be a big surprise.
"No, no." The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then stammered.
"Yes, yes, yes-
"plague!
"right!"
"There's a plague in the city!
Chapter 765 - Friendly Forces Are for Sale
In the frozen world of ice and snow.
Under the heavy snow, countless black corpses were crawling in the cold snow, as if they had been dead for a long time.
"what 's wrong?"
Yue Le covered his mouth and nose, looking at the corpse dragged over by the trembling bodyguards, his eyes full of fire.
The dead all had hideous expressions, were emaciated, and had ulcers all over their bodies.
There were egg-sized lumps all over their bodies, such as their armpits, lower abdomen, and between their buttocks, and these lumps were constantly oozing pus and blood.
The whole person exuded an astonishing stench, as if he had been soaking in the toilet for several months and was then dragged out.
"Slave, slave, I don't know."
The faces of those personal guards were pale.
"That's what happened when the minions found out."
“I didn’t know before that so many people died…”
"......" Yue Le's eyes narrowed slightly.
"How could there be a plague in the middle of winter?"
"Or……"
Although there was neither food nor fruits and vegetables in the city, diseases were very likely to break out.
But that kind of disease is definitely not what it looks like now...
Looking at these people, it seems like...
“Corpse poison!!”
Yue Le blurted out.
"What idiot!?"
"You've actually set your sights on the Eight Banners warriors?"
"These dogs and slaves!!"
The semi-zombified Eight Banners Army is slightly toxic and not fatal, but it cannot be said to be very safe. In short, it cannot be used as normal "rations".
Cannibalism is prone to cause trouble.
