Chapter 235: Chapter 149: [If the Bronze Pillars Fall, Jiaozhi Will Be Destroyed] The Overbearing Han Dynasty General (6.2k Double Chapter)

Following the various wild ideas provided by Blue Star friends in the livestream chatroom, I began directing the Luoyue people to frantically create various ’advanced’ weapons, and the stream’s popularity soared due to this interaction.

Plus, since this wasn’t a battle storyline, after giving the orders on what to manufacture,

It quickly skipped forward, and once it skipped, the finished products were delivered right before our eyes.

Even for making things like catapults, after a fast forward in the storyline, several game days passed, but in reality, less than an hour had gone by, giving us real-time feedback.

Naturally, there were more Blue Star viewers patiently watching the livestream.

Due to the various weapons being made on Wei Ze’s side, his status in the Luoyue area was rising rapidly.

In just over a week.

Because there was no battle storyline triggered, everything kept skipping, and Wei Ze had already fast-forwarded two years.

Meanwhile, the Zheng sisters attacked and claimed three counties and sixty-five cities of the Luoyue, establishing themselves as the rulers of the Zheng Dynasty, and it wasn’t until then that Wei Ze heard the news of the Han army’s advance, and commented in the livestream:

"News travels slow in ancient times."

"The rebellion has been going on for two years, and they’ve declared themselves rulers, yet the Han Dynasty just now decides to send troops."

"Who knows when they’ll actually get here?"

The Blue Star viewers in the livestream chat expressed their agreement and many were even looking forward to facing off against the Han Dynasty.

After all, over the course of these two years in the game story, with the imaginative ideas from Wei Ze and the Blue Star viewers, many advanced weapons were created, with hopes of seeing these advanced weapons wreak havoc.

These weapons carried the hopes of Blue Star viewers, who wanted to overpower the Han soldiers through technological superiority.

Wei Ze continued creating weapons, skipping past the storyline.

However, news soon arrived that the massive Han army was advancing towards the capital of the Zheng Dynasty. Wei Ze checked the in-game time, clicking his tongue:

"Though news travels slow, their army’s advance is quite fast."

Wei Ze wanted to go to the front line to have a look, but the Zheng sisters wouldn’t agree.

After all, Wei Ze was valuable now, how could they risk him?

Seeing this, Wei Ze felt helpless, as he couldn’t leave, and could only speed up skipping through the storyline, waiting for reports, waiting for battle updates.

It must be said.

These weapons were indeed useful; initially against the massive Han army, they displayed astonishing power, but the Han commanders quickly adjusted their tactics, countering with fire arrows and incendiary attacks.

The carefully trained elephant army panicked and attacked their own side due to the fires.

And the Han soldiers attacked by both land and water, pressing in on two fronts.

For a time, the cities of the Zheng Dynasty fell one by one, and morale plummeted.

At the capital of the Zheng Dynasty.

Looking at the latest battle reports, Wei Ze’s head throbbed with thoughts:

"No way?!"

"These Luoyue people are too weak?!"

"How did they lose half the territory?!"

Three counties and sixty-five cities, and in less than half a year, they lost half of it.

Almost every time they skipped the storyline, the latest battle report showed yet another place lost, seized by the Han army.

And it wasn’t just that.

The weapons they made and delivered even ended up in the hands of the Han army, who then used them to crush us.

It wasn’t just Wei Ze who was stunned; the Blue Star viewers in the livestream chat were also bewildered.

These ancient people are just too weak, aren’t they?

Unless they manage to cobble together a machine gun, what else can they use to win?"

The key issue is they can’t even cobble that together....

Wei Ze wanted to persuade the Zheng sisters to leave, and then figure out another solution, but the Zheng sisters were stubborn, determined to fight the Han army to the end, and no amount of persuasion from Wei Ze worked.

But there was no leaving here either.

All he could do was watch the storyline skip forward... skip forward... and then....

"Surrender and you will be spared—!!"

Outside the capital of the Zheng Dynasty came the loud proclaim of a messenger from the Han army.

Standing atop the city walls, Wei Ze looked at the massive, dense formation of the Han army, compared with the elite troops of the Zheng Dynasty, and saw that his side was just a makeshift troupe; he had thought the two-year development had gone well.

But now, seeing the massive Han army on the other side, Wei Ze realized why they lost.

This land was still inhabited by the ethnic group that forever stood on the Central Plains in CG; even with two years of development, advanced weapons meant nothing against them, considering two years ago they were only wielding wooden sticks.

In the Central Plains, they’ve fought for control of the world for so many years.

Capturing three counties in two years here is nothing compared to the losses in a single war on the Central Plains.

You can’t just say the Luoyue people are too weak.

You can only say this is a technological overwhelm from the Central Plains Dynasty, and nothing could be done about it.

Not much needs to be said.

The battle between the two sides was imminent; the Zheng sisters held to the city, as the Han army, unable to breach it in a prolonged siege, built high platforms and beat drums day and night to create fear and unrest in the city through psychological warfare.

Wei Ze had no good ideas either; in this ancient warfare, individual strength was next to nothing.

The storyline continued skipping forward, the situation deteriorating.

Until one deep night, having just chosen to skip the storyline, Wei Ze suddenly heard cries of battle all around.

He rushed out of his room, only to see the sky ablaze with fire.

The Han army had already breached the city.

Within the city, Luoyue people were fleeing everywhere; Wei Ze dressed quickly and rushed outside, grabbing a fleeing soldier:

"What happened?"

"How did the Han army get in?!"

The Luoyue soldier quickly broke away:

"The king made a night assault on the Han camp and failed."

"The Han army is already inside, run quickly!!!"

After saying this, he shook off his hand, clutched his bundle, and ran off, leaving Wei Ze’s mind reeling from the words he heard.
