Song Xiance, a modern-day loser who went bankrupt, opened his eyes to find himself the military advisor of the Great Shun army at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The good news: He was bound to a [Dying in Battle System]. If he was killed by the enemy on the battlefield, he’d receive five million in cash and retire with honor!
The bad news: He had transmigrated to the very moment when the Great Shun regime was teetering on the brink of collapse, the Qing army was closing in on Wuchang, and history was about to roll over Jiugong Mountain! There wasn’t much time left for Song Xiance to “die a glorious death”!
Eager to get his five million and go home, Song Xiance embarked on a spree of increasingly creative ways to get himself killed:
He put all the System’s life-saving attribute points into horsemanship, so he could charge into enemy ranks and get himself killed faster!
He rode alone down the mountain, pointed at the Manchu general Yerden, and swore at him, begging him to put an arrow through his heart!
But fate played the biggest joke of all on him:
With his horsemanship maxed out, he rode faster than the Manchu steeds and could taunt the Qing army, then escape without a scratch!
He took up position in a deadly stronghold and ended up luring the enemy deep into a trap. Two thousand ragtag soldiers routed eight thousand elite troops of the Bordered Yellow Banner!
Even more ridiculous, every victory “rewarded” him with a huge boost to his fighting strength and fewer wrinkles. The more battles he won, the younger he got?!
Liu Zongmin went from disdain to awe. “The military advisor’s schemes are beyond mortal comprehension. I’m thoroughly convinced!”
Li Hongniang’s eyes shone. “The military advisor truly is a god descended from heaven!”
Dodo was so furious he hurled his hat to the ground. “Song Xiance! I swear I won’t rest until that villain is dead!”
Song Xiance could only cry. “I just want to die in peace and take the money home! Why is every attempt to get myself killed making my rank higher, my name more famous, and me more handsome?! This five million is way too hard to earn!”
The writing is okay, but the writing style is a bit poor. The main plot is well laid out.
Flooded Boar's Skin is so hidden and so well written. The Qing army already had red cannons. Did they forget about Kong Youde?
