Give Zongman some collapse shock

Then she was hung up by Wei Erwei and beaten.

Ten days later, nine cities were lost.

"No, why?"

Standing on the city wall, looking at the Weiwei army besieging the city below, Jiang Chen was stunned.

"How can she, a scientist, crush me tactically?"

"Chen, how about... we surrender?"

Yaezakura was covered in blood, showing her bravery on the battlefield.

But the one on the other side is more heroic.

Artoria was clearly more familiar with the battlefield than Yae Sakura. Whether it was command, leadership, or tactics, the miko couldn't match her. Jiang Chen was similarly brilliant in theory, but completely in practice. Even with the computing power advantage afforded by the shipgirl's [Fate Bond], he lost in talent and thinking.

Facts have proved that the reason why geniuses are geniuses is not just the difference in numbers, but also the crushing of mechanisms.

"It's impossible to surrender, not in this lifetime!"

Jiang Chen's expression was resolute.

Are you kidding? There's not only Vivi and the others in the opposing camp, there are also shipgirls! He couldn't even imagine what kind of dark room would be waiting for him if he were taken prisoner and tied back.

"Even if we lose, we must lose with dignity. Our previous defeat on the battlefield was due to our offensive strategy, a tactical failure. But defense is different. Wei Erwei and her men captured nine cities without recruiting new soldiers or gathering remnants from the local area. Even if they used prisoners of war, they would only outnumber us by a mere three times. It's impossible for them to capture the cities head-on. We still have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

“Just…”

Yaezakura's mouth twitched, and she glanced around: "But Chen, what about our morale?"

There is absolutely no comparison with the opposite side.

I have to say, the simulation of [Fantasy] is very realistic.

The soldiers guarding the city last night almost opened the city gate to the opposite side.

If this goes on, let alone turning defeat into victory, it would be a good thing if the soldiers below don’t tie Jiang Chen up and surrender.

"Well, this..."

Jiang Chen's face was heavy.

It is indeed a serious problem.

Although he and Wei Erwei were initially set on the same starting line, both renowned generals of their time, held high prestige within the army, and half of their generals were diehards, after ten days of consecutive defeats in the Lotus Wars, morale had plummeted to the point of imminent collapse.

The simulation is very real.

The soldiers, under the mental pressure of living in fear, were beginning to break down. As the saying goes, a leader can lead only ignorant soldiers, but by now everyone knew that once they stepped onto the battlefield, they would die.

Jiang Chen sighed. In such an adverse situation, there was no chance of winning with normal methods. Defeat was almost certain.

Then...don't be a human being.

His eyes suddenly turned icy, and a chilling, terrifying aura emanated from him. He whispered to the guards, "Invite the city lord over here and tell him to boost morale on the city wall."

"General, the City Lord's Mansion has been very nervous since we entered the city..."

The guard hesitated.

"I said, take the troops over and 'invite' him over."

The city lord is not a player, but an NPC. His role, aside from stabilizing people's hearts when idiots are ruining the country, is essentially useless.

Since it is useless, give it a use.

Soon, the city lord who had lost all hope in life was "invited" to the front line.

Jiang Chen wasn't polite, or rather, he didn't need to be polite to a dead man. With the city lord and some disgruntled generals, he opened the city gates and launched an offensive. This was beyond Wei Erwei's expectations, a truly insane act. The surprise attack caught the enemy off guard, achieving a small victory.

Of course, the price was heavy.

Except for Jiang Chen, all other generals who went into battle were killed. The city lord went out intact, but when he came back, his limbs below the head were amputated. It was really sad and lamentable.

In great sorrow, Jiang Chen decisively summoned the people in the city as soon as he returned and announced the tragic news.

You know, the front-line city lords in the setting are all loyal and virtuous, and have an excellent reputation among the people.

"People of the Paramecium Idiot Country..."

"Chen, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, it's the stupid Paramecium Kingdom."

Yaezakura reminded in a low voice.

"Ah, people of the foolish Paramecium Nation, today, I have to announce a sad truth. They, our enemies, the brutal Pink Fairy Nation, want to destroy our country! They've already massacred nine cities, and now, it's our turn."

Jiang Chen then displayed the fragments of the city lord, clearly describing the city lord's heroic act of fighting on the battlefield to protect the people, and then being besieged and beheaded by the enemy's brutal soldiers. The process was so detailed that it frightened the people below.

Well, why does Jiang Chen know so much?

That was of course what General Jiang saw and heard when he couldn't bear to see the city lord's body being desecrated by the enemy and fought to the death to retrieve (make) the city lord's fragments.

In short, in one sentence, the war situation is hopeless and everyone is going to die.

Afterwards, the people's emotions changed from fear and panic to extreme anger.

Damn it, we’re all going to die anyway, so let’s fight those barbarians from the Pink Fairy Kingdom!

When humans face adversity and the risk of death, they become afraid, terrified, and even unable to fight and flee. Of course, when humans are in a desperate situation where death is certain, that is the moment when they give up thinking and become the most fearless.

Well, Jiang Chen, who led the situation to this point... Yaezakura couldn't say it in a clear conscience and whispered that he was immoral.

Every household in the city took out hoes, sickles, and food, and demolished houses to use as city defense equipment, which was continuously sent to the city walls.

Jiang Chen had made all the preparations, and the enemy's siege had also begun.

The huge army began to attack the city under the command of Weiwei.

No, maybe it was just a feint, and the real purpose was something else.

But it doesn't matter.

Siege warfare is brutal, often requiring ten times the number of troops to capture a city. However, the enemy's commander was Wei Erwei, and of course, she wouldn't play by the rules. After ten days of defeat, Jiang Chen had learned the true meaning of the unexpected, so when the city gate was blown open by the explosives, he wasn't surprised at all.

He watched everything quite calmly.

Unfortunately, after the Pink Fairy Kingdom army fell into the city, what they saw was not the defeated defenders, but the people with red eyes.

Then, an even more brutal war broke out.

This is hell.

There is a huge difference between ordinary people and well-trained soldiers in terms of physique, martial arts, and equipment.

Ten civilians may not be able to replace one enemy soldier.

But, it keeps coming.

Wei Erwei's army totaled 150,000 soldiers, while Jiang Chen's army only had 50,000 soldiers and 300,000 civilians. With a desperate counterattack, the soldiers who had rushed into the city were forcibly driven out. Furthermore, the civilians in the city, led by the soldiers, even launched a counterattack.

There were broken limbs and arms left along the way, but no one cared at all and they pushed back madly.

You have to know that this was an ancient war, and morale was a huge factor in determining victory or defeat.

When the casualties of a large army reach 10%, they usually begin to flee. Wei Erwei's command was exceptional, and she only began to rout when casualties reached 20%. The frantic civilians, led by a handful of soldiers, recklessly pursued the enemy.

This is a madness that even Jiang Chen cannot stop.

No one noticed that as time went on, there were fewer and fewer soldiers among the civilians.

"Chen, although we successfully counterattacked, such a miracle will only happen once."

"Yes, I know, so we have to fight to decide the outcome."

Jiang Chen rode on a warhorse and led the remaining troops to ambush in a valley.

This is the only way for Weiliwei to escape.

A victory built on the sacrifice of countless civilians in the city would not truly defeat Wei Erwei. The enemy could quickly regroup and launch a second attack. By then, Jiang Chen would have no chance of resistance and would not even be able to defend the city.

No, before that, he would have been skinned alive by the deceived people.

He must seize this only chance to win.

When Weiwei appeared in the valley, he gave an immediate order to behead the enemy commander at all costs.

then……

Chapter 191: Dai E: Sister, I will take care of you.

With Jiang Chen's war criminal-level operation that would have landed him in a military court, he successfully ended Velvet and Altria's gaming experience with falling rocks.

Then...

“Lost.”×2.

A defeat without a doubt.

Wei Erwei had already arranged everything; more accurately, it was a matter of institutional considerations on both sides. Jiang Chen followed the rules, contemplating how to win the game. Wei Erwei, on the other hand, had expressed her disdain for the ancient military system from the outset, tinkering with it as the battle progressed.

Therefore, after Jiang Chen eliminated Velvet and Altria, he was not faced with an enemy army that had lost its commander and was in a state of complete defeat, but was instead being hunted down by an NPC who had taken over the command and regrouped the army.

Well, not only were the enemy troops chasing Jiang Chen, but there were also the common people who reacted and realized they had been tricked.

This evil creature must be hanged on the city gate!

"You really are..."

Wei Erwei stared at Jiang Chen with a complicated expression: "If this wasn't a simulation, but a real war, history would have forever remembered your great faults and virtues."

The girl sighed and said, "But I lost, I lost. I didn't expect you to use that method to make the tunnel I dug halfway useless."

"You actually dug a tunnel?"

Jiang Chen's eyes widened.

It’s not that I’m scared, but... he also dug it.

Although it was very abstract, digging tunnels to disperse troops and launch a surprise attack on the enemy's rear... the thought of the project being terminated due to low morale made him feel a little relieved. After all, both sides had dug through, and when the time came to exchange rear areas, it was likely that Jiang Chen would escape through the tunnel, and then, having lost the city and his troops, he would be killed by a cat-and-mouse game. It would be better to be captured.

Of course, the end result was that neither side won.

"Originally I wanted to dig to the bottom of the city and blow up the wall."

Wei Erwei sighed and said, "From my observation, if that place collapses, a large section of your wall will collapse."

“You’ve been working hard too.”

Jiang Chen's face was full of sympathy as he comforted the girl opposite him.

Strictly speaking, the battlefield is not limited to the frontal battlefield, it is a matter between two countries.

Jiang Chen's faction... naturally, they were being subjected to all sorts of bizarre orders from Qiyana. It wasn't that the people were suffering, but rather that they thought the emperor had gone mad. With soldiers and cavalry at the front and a court full of civil and military officials at the rear, the NPCs, aside from the players, had actually planned a complete rebellion, electing a new prince in just twenty days.

By the way, the prince is Yuexia.

The situation in the Velvet camp was even more outrageous. As the emperor, Alysia denounced the feudal remnants, went deep into the people to form a pink demon spiritual cult, took the lead in the rebellion, and succeeded.

Okita Souji and Amagi, who drew the identities of the head of civil officials and the head of military commanders, were too late to stop it.

In short, both camps perished at their own hands.

No one survived.

The game ends and everyone disconnects from the [Fantasy] host.

As the three people with the best performance in the entire game, Jiang Chen, Kiana, and Alicia received the astonishing gazes of the audience.

Some were amazed at Jiang Chen's inhumane behavior. Among them, Kurozhen and Gudako discussed it most intensely, giving him extremely high praise.

Some people were amazed at how Alysia was able to create the brainwashing aura of an armed sect in a short period of time. Although the emperor's operation of leading the rebellion was quite abstract, compared with the other two, it could only be said to be within the normal human range.

More often than not, they were staring at Kiana as if she were a new and exotic species.

"That's amazing! Even if it's just in the game, exposing your XP to the world is truly admirable."

The way a ship girl looked at Kiana was as if she was looking at an idol.

She couldn't admit in public that she liked the Commander.

And Kiana, this white-haired ball, nominated Mei Raiden to enter the palace in the name of selecting a concubine in the game, and issued a decree that monogamy is legal and reasonable, intending to change the three views of the people of the country.

"The most outrageous thing is, isn't it this guy who recruits stand-ins who look like the commander from the public and then sends them to the frontier? Has she ever considered that the game is a game, and the commander is her direct superior who can decide all her treatment in the real world?"

To be honest, Baimaotuanzi let himself go and did all the things in the game that he had never dared to do before.
