Chapter 230: Chapter 148: [Yue Banner] Anti-Jin Hero? Oh No... He’s Coming for Me (6.2k Double-Length)

Listening to the scout’s report, Cheng Yu looked down below.

As the city on the plain below was being reported, the city gate had already been breached, and the tide of the army poured into the city. Cheng Yu waved his whip:

"Pass the order, the whole army enters the city, and rests for a day!"

Cheers erupted around them.

A narrow-eyed, long-bearded person who looked like a strategist said:

"Reporting to the marshal."

"The Song people are terrified of us and deserted the city. In my opinion, we can reach Lin’an in less than a month."

While the strategist was flattering, Cheng Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Although he didn’t know where Lin’an was, who doesn’t like to hear good words? Moreover... Cheng Yu looked down at his burly body, thinking he should be quite a fighter too.

Next time, he should try it himself.

After all, if you’re controlling such a formidable body, you have to show off a bit.

Then Cheng Yu spurred his horse, leading the army into the city.

Nightfall.

In the mansion, which served as Cheng Yu’s temporary residence, the hall was packed with dense foreign generals, all drunken and noisy.

And Cheng Yu sat at the main seat, surrounded by generals who were toasting him one after another, offering flattery.

Fortunately, the alcohol hid his blushing face.

Otherwise, Cheng Yu would’ve barely managed; these NPCs were just too good at flattery.

They even made him experience social anxiety.

In the live stream, the comments floated across.

[Isn’t it, this guy’s getting addicted to the praise, drinking cup after cup?]

[This plot is too real, damn... it’s even more so than I’ve ever seen.]

[How do these NPCs keep saying such obsequious things?]

[You guys are still young, society isn’t that easy, it seems it’s the same both in ancient and modern times.]

[That’s right, I strangely relate, damn....]

[When is this game being released? I want to experience what it feels like to be a tyrant.]

[Don’t rush, this is just the first day of the streamer’s trial play, gotta wait until the trial ends; so far, it looks pretty good.]

Then.

A scout came into the hall, not daring to disturb Cheng Yu, and instead ran to the NPC that looked like a strategist and whispered a few words. Then the strategist, after a moment of pondering, got up and went to Cheng Yu’s side:

"Marshal, our scouts have discovered a Song army."

"Should we...."

Cheng Yu became interested:

"Oh?"

"Where?"

The strategist said:

"Niutou Mountain."

Cheng Yu didn’t think much of it.

He just had the men prepare to head to Niutou Mountain to deal with the Song army the next day, and after three rounds of drinks, a cutscene was triggered.

Looking at all the noise, Cheng Yu decided to skip the cutscene.

The screen flashed.

It was already the next day, and the army was setting out.

As the scout kept reporting, the front situation became clearer.

Cheng Yu, riding on his horse, was in deep thought:

"The Yue banner?"

The concerned strategist spoke up:

"Marshal."

"Yue Fei is known for his strict military discipline, and his ranks are full of fierce generals, should we prepare further?"

Cheng Yu was contemplative:

"Don’t rush."

"Let me think about it."

The strategist dared not speak further seeing this.

In reality, Cheng Yu returned to the live stream room, pulled up Polestar Official Website’s [Chinese History Series] database, and, together with the Blue Star audience in the live stream, began to look up:

"Yue... Yue...."

"I should have seen it before...."

"Found it!"

"Hiss——"

Looking at the introduction that popped up.

[Hidden General: Yue Fei]

[Origin: From Xiangzhou Tangyin, a renowned anti-Jin general of the Southern Song. Born to a farming family, trained in martial arts from a young age, skilled in riding and shooting, especially adept in "Zuo’s Spring and Autumn Annals" and the art of war by Sun Wu, later joined the army to serve his country.]

[Early Achievements: Encountered Jin forces in Huazhou, achieved victory with fewer soldiers, beheaded enemy general Tuoba Yewu, killed Heifeng King, renowned in Hebei, led Yue’s army at Qingshuiting, Niutou Mountain, consecutively defeating Jin forces, slaying three thousand, and causing the Jin forces to retreat.]

[Peak Achievement: With Beiwei cavalry clashed head-on with Jin Wu’s "Iron Pagoda," infantry wielding maces and axes "slashing people’s chests, chopping horse legs," battled dozens of rounds, destroying five thousand enemies, Jin army lamented "easy to shake mountains, hard to shake Yue’s army."]

[Legacy: Pioneered the "infantry-cavalry coordinated" tactics, using heavy infantry to form a line, cavalry for flanking, became a model for Southern Song infantry against cavalry.]

[Spirit Symbol: His "loyalty to serve the country" and the lyrics of "Man Jiang Hong" have been passed down through the ages, later revered as a martial god and national hero.]

[Note: Frost to death without dismantling houses, starve to death without looting! — Highlighting the strict military discipline of Yue’s army, not infringing a bit.]

Cheng Yu looked at the introduction of Yue Fei in the Polestar Official Website database, a bit doubting life, speaking to the live stream viewers:

"We’re in trouble; he’s coming for me."

"The character I’m controlling is called Jin Wu, and Yue Fei is a hero of the Southern Song against Jin, doesn’t that mean he’s against me?!"

"Moreover, in the achievements, it says he led Yue’s army at Qingshuiting, Niutou Mountain, repeatedly defeating Jin forces, slaying three thousand, and the Jin army retreating."

"Although I don’t know where Qingshuiting is, ahead of me is Niutou Mountain?!"

"Should we retreat?"

Good news, we encountered hidden storyline.

Bad news, we’re the background villain in that storyline... damn it!!!

However, the Blue Star viewers in the live stream love to egg things on and watch the commotion.

[What are you afraid of? Can’t you defy fate?]

[Exactly, didn’t you win so many battles in World War II? Where are your tactics? Where’s your strategy?!]

[Even though that Huaxia general is formidable, you can’t say you have nothing, hit them with a blitzkrieg!]

[That’s right! Blitzkrieg attack them!]

[Is it possible that Huaxia knew blitzkrieg back in the Han dynasty? Can it be effective?]

[Useful or not, try it first, it’s a perfect chance to observe ancient warfare up close.]
