A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Chapter 141 Unity

The background of the people does matter and is conducive to unity.

The officers of the rebel army were all from the Xiaoyao faction. They all came from the lowest level of society and had been brutally exploited.

He lived a precarious life, and was later taken under the command of the Xiaoyao Sect. After mastering martial arts, he lived a good life for a few days. The straightforward person did not even seek revenge overnight.

But they vaguely knew that just killing one or two corrupt officials to avenge themselves was meaningless.

The pain of losing their land and family cannot be changed overnight. They often wake up from their dreams.

Coupled with the civilians who joined later, their pain of being unable to resist after being oppressed, after Lin Yao's systematic analysis, he understood the root cause - the world is sick.

The oppression that makes people breathless, only the most fierce resistance and all-round liquidation can completely eliminate this invisible imprisonment.

To achieve such a goal, one must have an absolute military advantage.

If we cannot have an absolute military advantage, have absolute military support, and cannot overwhelm the world, there will be no way to talk about a comprehensive liquidation.

In the military class that night, the entire army conveyed Lin Yao's will from top to bottom, and the officers conveyed Lin Yao's speech to the soldiers.

Let the soldiers also know the upcoming challenges that the rebel army will face, not only the upcoming [-] mixed army, but also the goal of expanding the "light" to the two Zhejiang roads.

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while."

"Even if I am weak, I will fight to the death to kill an enemy for those who come after me."

As rebels, their fate was changed by Lin Yao, but they could not be raised in a cradle like children. Instead, they must muster the courage to cover the world with "light".

The cruelest thing about this world is that there seem to be so many choices, but almost every choice has preconditions.

Of course, there are also options without prerequisites, but most people don’t want to choose that option.

It seems that fate has already decided everything. From the moment of birth, everything cannot be changed. The future will be as it was in the past.

The future looks like the past, and for the same thing, the past colors will always make it different.

The past is the past, the future is the future, the past has the future, and the future has the past.

Starting an uprising like this is destiny and a direction for future life.

Life is faced with countless choices, and firming up on one belief at all times is a path to firmness.

Lin Yao and the rebels have only one choice, to face the difficulties.

Those who share the same desires will win. At this moment, everyone is firmly convinced that they will win the final victory.

The whole army is completely united, fighting for a common goal.

After the order was conveyed, the rebel army began to mobilize with great speed and unparalleled efficiency.

As for the masses, there are farmers' associations to help organize and publicize, and those farmers who have been allocated fields are willing to help out as long as they finish the work in the fields.

There is no barrier between the army and the people, and they are as close as one family.

There were even farmers' association staff in many villages who took the initiative to ask Lin Yao if they would like to help him during the war.

If nothing else can be done, it is still possible to help transport some supplies needed by the army.

Lin Yao was very happy to see this situation. This was the necessary factor for this army to be invincible compared to the feudal army, not his intervention. "If there is a need, we will definitely raise it, but it is not needed right now. Once the war starts, the frontline battle will be handed over to the rebels.

Elders, please wait in a safe place. We will defend the enemy from outside the country and never let the Song army and the private soldiers of the landlords poison the place. "

Lin Yao's statement brought tears to the eyes of many old farmers. This was a kind of intimacy that the previous rulers did not have.

Such a united rear area will be the most powerful logistical support.

Then the most important thing next is the selection of the combat area. Lin Yao wants to fully grow this army, but he also doesn't want to lose too much of these living forces.

After on-site visits, he decided to choose the decisive battle site in the area between Wuxi City and the Yangtze River Estuary in the Song Dynasty.

In the process, Lin Yao also taught military ideas to his officers.

"My teacher once told me that the reason why General Li Jing of the former Tang Dynasty was invincible was because he could always anticipate the enemy before he marched and fought.

There are two prerequisites for this. First, under the strong national power of the Tang Dynasty, there were scouts all over neighboring countries, just like what is mentioned in "The Art of War Yongjian Chapter" by Sun Tzu.

'A wise king and a wise general can conquer others through action, and those who succeed come from the crowd are also prophets.A prophet cannot be obtained from ghosts and gods, cannot be imitated by things, and cannot be verified by measurement. He must be obtained from people, who know the enemy's feelings.

The second is to preset the battlefield.It was General Li Jing who would always use his own advantages to choose battlefields as much as possible. He destroyed more than ten countries in a row, and his record was second only to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

And although we have ideological differences with these nobles of the previous dynasty, it does not prevent us from learning their advantages.

Actively search for intelligence and understand the enemy's movements. There is no ever-victorious general. You can only narrow the gap between the enemy and ourselves as much as possible, and then expand your own advantages.This is what you need to learn. "

It doesn't matter whether Li Jing said this or not. What's important is that the people under his command believe that Li Jing said it and learn the knowledge behind the words.

According to Lin Yao's idea, he would annihilate the Song army here, take only the city of Wuxi from the Song state, and make this city a bridgehead against the Song army. Then he would occupy Hangzhou behind Suzhou, and then expand to the entire Zhejiang Road.

On the road where the Song army must pass, Lin Yao jumped up and climbed up a hill.

After that, you can find that the field of view is wider. Looking down, you can see the Yangtze River flowing from the sky, spreading from west to east.

It was early autumn, and most of the trees on the mountain had fallen, but there were still some places to hide.

However, such places are often the focus of enemy spying.

A prudent general will definitely pay special attention to this kind of terrain on the march. He will send scouts to check in advance to ensure that there are no problems before letting the army pass.

Of course, there were few outstanding generals in the Song Dynasty, and they were all inferior to each other.

Thinking of Lin Changliang's hurried march without any investigation of the situation on his side, Lin Yao was basically sure that this person underestimated him too much.

In this wave, be sure to defeat the reckless ones, but also beware of the rookies defeating the masters.

After crossing this hill, Lin Yao continued to go west and saw two hills along the way. They were far away from this must-pass road, some were high and some were low, but both were full of trees.

Under such circumstances, if you only use one of the mountains, it will not be easily discovered.As he thought about it, a tactic gradually took shape in Lin Yao's mind.

He planned to use this terrain, coupled with a large number of unexposed bows and crossbows, to give these Song troops a shock of firepower, consume a wave of enemy forces, and finally capture them in one fell swoop.

However, at this distance, ordinary bows and arrows can only be thrown, and only the God Arm Crossbow can kill enemies on a large scale.
