The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

"From now on, it's mine.

"Continue the attack-

Under Shu Yichao's command, the plant army launched a siege on Guangzhou City from all directions.

But the progress was quite unsuccessful.

Shu Yichao's plant army was slow to begin with, and once in the water it became even slower, and then they all became sitting ducks for Shang Jun.

Especially the French cannons of Shang's army, they destroyed everything with one shot, and then they destroyed everything with another, and they were having a lot of fun.

“Hahaha!!” Shang Zhixin was overjoyed.

“What a good thing!

"This Portuguese cannon is really good stuff."

"Oh, if only there were more."

"We'll make sure those bandits can't even get close to the city walls.

"Huh?" Just when Shang Zhixin was still excited, the general beside him pointed outside the city.

"General, the bandits seem to be building a pontoon bridge."

Shang Zhixin was about to scold him, saying there was nothing special about the floating bridge.

But when he looked back, he was stunned.

"what?"

"Can you build a floating bridge like this?"

From a distance, countless lotus leaf boats have filled the surface of the rivers, just like a flood of water hyacinths.

It literally turned the turbulent river into a highway to heaven.

"Okay." Shu Yichao clapped his hands.

"Now the pontoon bridge is ready."

"attack!!!!

Seeing that progress on the waterway was slow, Shu Yichao dispatched a large number of lotus leaf boats to serve as bridges across the river.

To save trouble, he simply filled up every river.

Then let the plant army step on it directly and rush all the way to attack the city directly

The effect was extremely significant. The plant army, with its speed greatly increased, finally approached the city wall and began a fierce battle against the Shang army's bows, arrows, kerosene, and cannons.

Shang's army's casualties began to surge.

But in another direction, when Shu Yichao was about to repeat the same trick, a small accident happened.

“Stop them!!”

"The bandits are trying to outflank Guangzhou from the sea!"

"Boom!!" Shu Yichao, who was building a pontoon bridge on the sea and intending to surround Guangzhou City on all sides, encountered the warships of Shang Jun that came out to intercept him.

The Shang army warships arrived quickly and fired without hesitation when they encountered the expanding pontoon bridge.

Amidst the shrill roar, the naval guns unsurprisingly blasted the lotus leaf boat into pieces.

After all, the lotus leaf boat is just a small boat, how can it withstand the bombardment of cannons?

However, the pea-gunners who fell into the water did not float to the surface and continue fighting as they did in the past.

"Gulp, gurgle." After struggling twice in the waves, they fell backwards with a snap and stopped moving.

Before long, numerous corpses began to float on the sea.

[Your troops are severely dehydrated and have died.]

"what?"

“No, is there such a setting?” Shu Yichao was very surprised.

“I’m not afraid of river water, but I’m afraid of sea water?

"Got it!!" Shang Zhixin in Guangzhou City's eyes suddenly lit up after seeing this scene.

"Hahaha!!

“God is helping me!!

"I know how to deal with the bandits!!"

Chapter 752 - You can't play unless you are at low health

“Yes.”

"This time it's real."

"Oh, why didn't I think of it before."

"Those bandits may have become spirits through cultivation, but their cultivation is quite shallow..."

"Salt water will kill them with thirst!!

Shang Zhixin opened the map, ran his finger across it, and then focused on a certain place, his eyes shining.

"Just dig this up!"

"Then the bandits' offensive will be immediately intercepted.

"Then our army will seize the opportunity and launch a full-scale attack, which will surely defeat the bandits!!!

When the generals in his military tent took a closer look, they were all shocked and stunned.

"Prince, this is a seawall!"

To be honest, digging up the riverbank, using water instead of soldiers, and using the surging torrent to crush the seemingly unstoppable enemy -

They don't care about this kind of thing at all.

Even if the number of people affected by the disaster is in the millions, given the Shang army's general moral character of "loyal to their mothers", they will not feel the slightest bit of shame.

Anyway, the dead can't talk. As long as I win, I can say whatever I want next.

As for the common people who suffered from the disaster?

Sorry, these guys are usually not considered human beings in the eyes of officials.

However, this time, Shang Zhixin wanted to dig up the seawall!

The fertility of land ravaged by river water will be greatly damaged, not to mention sea water?

If we really follow Shang Zhixin's instructions, I'm afraid most of Guangdong's fertile land will turn into saline-alkali land!

Unfortunately, Shangjun is now the richest landlord in the country.

What Shang Zhixin did was simply cutting off their source of income! Ah!

"Everyone." Seeing the generals' embarrassed expressions, Shang Zhixin said lightly

"If I hadn't been desperate."

"I don't want to resort to this."

“But I’m sure you all saw it when you were fighting today.

"The King of Dian doesn't even want to keep us alive."

"We can only fight to the death now."

"As long as you can survive, you will have plenty of wealth and land."

"But once Guangzhou is broken." Shang Zhixin's eyes swept across the faces of every Shang army general.

"We'll have nothing."

The generals were silent for a while.

Isn't it?

The plant army is coming in full force, just like a group of hungry tigers released from the cage.

But they didn't capture any prisoners. If Shang Jun ran into them, either Shang Jun would die or they would die. There was no third option.

Plus, they really can't stand it.

"This is the only way." Finally, a general echoed.

"Alas, we all listen to the prince."

"Yes! Please give the order, Prince."

The generals were excited.

"Since the King of Dian doesn't want us to live!"

"We'll fight him to the death!

"What do you mean by listen to me?" Shang Zhixin rolled his eyes.

"The Prince of Pingnan is still my father.

"So..." Inside the palace, Shang Kexi stared blankly at the order submitted by Shang Zhixin, which was waiting for the signature and seal of the old King Pingpingnan.

"Do I have to give the order?"

"Okay, okay." Shang Kexi gritted his teeth.

"You are truly worthy of being my good son!"

Before anything was done, the blame was put on Shang Kexi.

He was just afraid that his father's reputation would be a little better.

But Shang Kexi had no choice. Now all military affairs depended on Shang Zhixin, so he had to hold his nose and issue the order "from King Pingnan".

The strategy is there.

Now there is a key issue to be resolved.

Digging up the seawall takes time and requires manpower.

However, with the current rapid offensive of the plant army surrounding them from all sides, it would be difficult for the Shang army to withdraw enough troops.

If they don't act quickly enough, the Shang army soldiers sent to dig the seawall will be eaten by Shu Yichao's plant army, which would be a complete loss.

For several days, Shang Zhixin couldn't find an opportunity to leave the city.

Just when Shang Zhixin was looking sad.

"Sir, this, this...

The generals around him looked at the leaden sky in surprise, and then stretched out their hands.

"Um?"

Seeing all the generals doing this, Shang Zhixin also subconsciously stretched out his hand

A cool feeling instantly came from the palm of my hand.

........

"Is it snowing?"

Shang Zhixin looked up at the sky in surprise.

In the gloomy sky, goose-feather-like snowflakes were falling from the dim night.

It snowed in Lingnan area.
