The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

"Then we will continue to defend our territory and clear the countryside—we must prevent these vengeful spirits from expanding their forces."

"By the way, send the remaining war puppets to Tiemenguan."

The big and small Boli are lost, and although it hurts, I can only accept the reality.

But Kunlun Iron Gate Pass must not be lost.

Otherwise, from now on, the Tumu Empire will only be able to passively take beatings in the Western Regions and will completely lose the initiative in the war.

She didn't know that in the Western Regions, a certain witch was enjoying giving away heads.

"Why is this happening!?" the Blind Rat King cried miserably.

The development of things was completely different from what he had imagined.

In the Blind Rat King's view, his side was fully prepared for war.

An army of one hundred thousand blind rats has been assembled.

The elite among them even wore the fine armor sent by the Tumu people.

While reviewing this powerful army, the Blind Rat King felt extremely proud.

It seemed as if it had already seen Shule hanging up the flag of the blind rat in blood and fire.

It was as if he saw himself sweeping across the Western Regions, establishing the Blind Mouse Empire, and leaving a brilliant mark in the history books.

But it had just led its army out to battle, and before it even saw the shadow of Shule, it encountered patrolling Tang light cavalry.

They were not clay figurines, but living recruits trained by the Anxi Ghost Riders.

Thanks to Shu Yichao's marvelous use of two potions, the Western Regions are now experiencing a livestock boom.

After all, among a group of livestock, only the strongest male needs to be left as a stud, and the rest can become females to give birth to pups.

It would be strange if the number didn't explode.

So now all the Anxi soldiers can be considered rich, and one person with five horses is considered poor.

The Tang army's light cavalry were also surprised when they discovered this huge group of rats, which were almost half the height of a man.

So some of them went back to report the news, while others started harassing people on the spot.

And just like that, an embarrassing thing happened.

The Blind Rat King had no cavalry under his command, nor any high-speed troops that could keep up with the Tang army's light cavalry.

Then, the nightmare began.

For infantry that lacks cavalry support, highly mobile light cavalry is simply a devil.

The Blind Rat King was confident that the warriors in his army could firmly maintain the battle line. As long as they gathered together, they could even charge the enemy's phalanx head-on.

But the problem was that the Tang army's light cavalry had no battle line at all.

Every time the rats howled, they attacked the Tang army.

The Tang army's light cavalry would quickly disperse and then circle back to their flanks and rear, and the blind rats would only be able to hit the air.

Then, the Tang army's light cavalry would retaliate with bows and arrows.

This was a real calamity for the blind rats, who lacked armor. Furthermore, because there were so many of them, the Tang army's light cavalry didn't even need to aim, as they could guarantee that their arrows would land in a direction that would surely harm a rat.

The Blind Rat King does have archers and crossbowmen under his command.

However, once the Tang army's light cavalry discovered that Blind Rat's archers and crossbowmen began to change positions and form battle lines, they would immediately slip away.

This left the group of blind mice squeaking in anger.

"coward!"

"Tang Nu!!"

"You're a piece of crap!!"

The blind mice were so angry that they cursed loudly, but they could do nothing about the Tang army's light cavalry.

"Captain, this way!!" The Anxi army scouted for a while and found that there were fewer archers among the rats in a certain direction, so they quickly ran over and continued to shoot arrows.

"Squeak, squeak!!" Wave after wave of arrows fell on the heads of the rats that had no archers to protect them.

"Bros!"

“Follow me!!”

This situation of just getting beaten is really demoralizing.

Finally, a blind mouse couldn't stand it anymore, and instigated hundreds of mice around it to break away from their own formation and rush towards the Anxi army.

"That idiot!!"

The blind rat king was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Although they were just light cavalry of the Anxi Army.

But Shu Yichao occupied too many mines, and all the hard work in mining was thrown to the zombies. As a result, the Anxi Army now not only has more horses than one person, but also more armor than one person -

A few hundred rats may seem like a lot, but in front of the "light cavalry" wearing full iron armor and holding lances, they are just beaten.

Sure enough, after more than 20 light cavalrymen retreated a distance and tricked hundreds of mice into moving a sufficient distance away, they immediately bared their ferocious fangs.

"Kill!!" With just one charge, the attacking rats were defeated.

The tall horse trampled over the wailing mice as if it were just stepping on a pile of mud.

It was like a heavy millstone, grinding the neatly arranged eggs.

There was the sound of "crunch, crunch" of bones breaking and juice splashing everywhere.

"Squeak!!"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The blind mice looked at the hundreds of mice that were annihilated.

He felt terrified and unconsciously moved closer to his companion.

"My king, what should we do?" The blind rat king's confidants were now dumbfounded.

The Blind Rat King's beard was trembling.

This is so different from the battle situation it imagined.

Not to mention attacking the city, even the scouts can be beaten black and blue?

Just as it was racking its brains, trying to find a way out, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance.

"My King!" The blind mice screamed in fear.

"The main force of the Tang army is here!!"

The Blind Rat King looked up hurriedly and saw a large flag with Tang characters flying in the distance.

"Just a few hundred people, you call that the main force...huh?"

What caught the Blind Rat King's eyes was not the Tang cavalry in the conventional sense.

Instead, it was a group of terrifying ghost riders riding desert giant lizards.

"Damned Tumo Wizard!!" The Blind Rat King was stunned.

"Why didn't she tell me that the Tang army had this kind of thing?!"

"These red dots turned out to be rats." Shu Yichao, riding on a desert monitor lizard, looked curiously at the dark army of blind rats.

"In the middle of winter, there's actually a rat plague?"

"Hiss, hiss--" The desert monitors looked at the army of mice, drooling and becoming restless.

Oh my god, I never thought that we would have a day of feasting and drinking.

How long will it take to eat so many rats?

"Okay." Shu Yichao said.

"Brothers, let's get rid of the four pests—and eat!"

"Hiss, hiss!!" The excited monitor lizards immediately turned into gluttonous beasts, hissing and rushing towards the mice.

"Don't be afraid, everyone!" The Blind Rat King tried to organize the team.

"Form a formation and retreat slowly!"

"Run!" But the terrified blind mice ignored their king's orders and immediately fled in all directions.

There are quite a few rats among them, but they have dealt with desert monitors.

I know how terrifying this monster is.

If they were to fight cavalry on warhorses, the blind rats might be able to drown them with human wave tactics.

After all, war horses are still very fragile.

And the monitor lizard...

The skin is thick and tough, and the petrified skin can even withstand bows and arrows.

With so many rats, I wonder if they can kill those desert monitors.

Chapter 176 - Rat Hole

"Have all the rats burrowed and escaped?"

Shu Yichao scratched his hair and looked at the big hole that appeared out of nowhere on the ground.

Beside him were desert monitors with bulging bellies and faces bubbling with happiness.

Shu Yichao chased the army of rats all the way and found that there were fewer and fewer rats, and finally they disappeared suddenly.

So he followed the trail of the last red dot, and after some investigation he found the burrow that the rats had used to escape.

"This size..." Miadra measured the size of the hole.

"I can't get in."

The blind mice have been able to survive for so many years between the Tang Dynasty and Tumo, so they must be quite capable.

For a hole of this size, blind mice only need to bend over to move forward.

People's words...

There is definitely no need to think about mounts.

Even if a living person wants to drill, he can only crawl forward.

If you crawl into the hole...

It's just food delivery.

"Are you ready to retreat?" Miya Zhuola asked Shu Yichao.

Anyway, the Tang army used to beat the blind rats in the same way.

At least 70,000 to 80,000 of the 100,000 rats have been killed. Now that the situation has become like this, it’s time to stop.

"Retreat?" Shu Yichao looked at Mia Zola speechlessly.

"They're not all dead yet, why should I retreat?"

"Then how do you plan to get in?" Mia Zora pointed to the cave entrance.

"Whether it's a human, a clay figurine, or a giant lizard, nothing of this size can pass through."

"Haha——" Shu Yichao laughed.

"Have you forgotten?"

"Can I still summon ghosts?"

Deep in the cave.

"My king, it's safe."

"We are safe." The blind rat king, who was running in a daze, was finally stopped by his confidants.

"Ah?" At this moment, the Blind Rat King came back to his senses in a trance.

A crushing defeat. An unprecedented and devastating defeat.
