A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Chapter 143: Annexing “Two Zhejiang Roads”

Looking down from a high place, Lin Yao found that the Song army's queue was gradually heading into chaos.

Judging from the current situation, this Song army has been divided into two groups, the contenders and the onlookers.

Those who compete for it are generally tall and powerful people, most of whom are elite soldiers of the Song army and private soldiers of landlords.

The onlookers were the old, the weak, the sick and the emaciated tenant farmers who used their free wages to make up the numbers.

They surrounded the entire looting crowd in circles, constantly looking for opportunities to try to get a piece of the pie.

The entire team formed an irregular circle, completely losing its ability to withstand emergencies.

Lin Yao ambushed a large number of crossbowmen on the mountain. Their main killing weapon was the divine arm bow.

The Divine Arm Bow itself is a compound crossbow with a relatively complex structure.The "Stealth XLT Crossbow" in Lin Yao's storage space is a weapon similar to the God's Arm Crossbow, except that the material is lighter and stronger.

This powerful weapon from the [-]th century AD had a long range and powerful armor-breaking ability. It was deeply feared by the Liao and Xixia countries, so much so that they both imitated it.

Then a corresponding divine arm crossbow unit was formed. Unfortunately, this imitation was not nearly as powerful in the end, and nothing happened in the end.

This kind of crossbow is not as easy to shoot as modern technology, and one person cannot fire it quickly.

In order to increase the firepower of the crossbowmen, Lin Yao divided the crossbowmen into three stages.

One person is responsible for loading the arrow and pulling the string, one person is responsible for passing it, and one person is responsible for taking the crossbow, aiming and shooting, increasing the frequency of firepower.

In this way, multiple shots can be achieved in a short period of time, which is enough to cause heavy damage to the Song army in a short period of time.

After Lin Yao seized and copied a large number of divine arm crossbows, he prioritized training crossbowmen to achieve maximum cost-effectiveness.

The archer is backward compatible with the crossbowman, but the crossbowman is not upward compatible with the archer, just like the manual and automatic transmission of a car.

Lin Yao is not too demanding about training archers, which is too time-consuming, but he stipulates archery as a military skill that must be mastered in promotion assessments.

Regarding this gold and silver treasure bait, Lin Yao felt that even if the general could react, ordinary soldiers would also fall for it.

What's more, for an army with such a complex composition, they would not have that level of discipline and would ignore the gold and silver treasures all over the ground.

From ancient times to the present, there are only two armies that can maintain strict discipline and dare not lose their minds after seeing the wealth and beauty after breaking the city, the Yue Family Army and the Qi Family Army.

As expected, the Song army quickly became disorganized. Everyone was afraid that they would not be able to get oil and water, and they fell into chaos.

As the leader of this force, Lin Changliang also joined in after seeing that he could not stop it.After acquiring the first treasure, he couldn't stop.

Lin Yao felt a little puzzled as he looked at the Song Army who continued to be in chaos.Where is their commander?If you don't stand up to stop the soldiers' crazy behavior, will you die?
Wu Yazi also expressed whether there was a possibility that it was a trap played by the Song army, pretending to be chaotic to lure out the ambush troops, and stage a counter-ambush.

But this isn’t just an act?

Careful intelligence investigation before the war allowed Lin Yao to determine that this Song army was the only expeditionary army, and there was no so-called ambush.

When the opponent is so stupid, it's hard for you to tell whether he is real or pretending, just like the king doesn't understand why Bronze doesn't move.

"You predicted my prediction, and it turned out that you thought too much."

I understood that this army was really bad, but Lin Yao also reminded the officers that military and state affairs, the place of life and death, and the path to survival must be carefully observed.

You can't expect every opponent you encounter in the future to be this stupid.Even if these people in front of me are such rubbish, it does not mean that the entire Song Dynasty is such rubbish.

Seeing such a good opportunity, Lin Yao took out his SSG69 sniper rifle and aimed it at the head of the most eye-catching person in the Song army. At the same time, he decisively seized the opportunity and issued a military order.

"put!"

At the command, the crossbowmen who had raised their divine arm bows and pointed them below decisively fired, and a large number of arrows roared straight towards the Song army who were frantically snatching property.

In this overwhelming rain of arrows, a sniper bullet followed closely.

When the arrows came out, Lin Changliang vaguely felt something was wrong.

Subconsciously using the power in his body, he looked up at the place where the sound came from.

And just as he raised his head for a short moment, three sharp arrows pierced the air and flew towards him with an indomitable force.

The three crossbow arrows fired at his body were resisted by his internal strength, but he did not expect that a metal bullet approaching quickly from behind hit him in the head.

This guy who had never practiced hard martial arts and was just lucky to be able to resist was instantly hit by a sniper bullet through his forehead, and the powerful kinetic energy directly took away his head.

In just an instant, this general who had high hopes from countless people was gone. Sometimes life is too fragile.

A headless corpse fell down without even having time to scream, and along with it fell his lofty ideals.

Wu Yazi, whose strength was second only to Lin Yao, had a look of shock on his face and looked at the sniper rifle in his hand in confusion.

The other officers were just curious about the fire stick that made a strange sound, but he saw a strong guy being shot away from a distance.

Even if it was a sneak attack, Lin Yao's far superior control of firearms could not conceal the astonishing power of this weapon.

Lin Yao put away his sniper rifle and focused his attention on the battlefield again.

After killing the Song generals, many Song soldiers were hit by arrows and died on the spot.Except for some unlucky ones, most of them were injured. The rain of arrows extinguished the flames of desire in the hearts of these Song soldiers.

The huge pressure coupled with the beheading of the general was not the end. A second round of arrow rain followed, and the frightened Song army was shot down again.

In addition to the soldiers, some horses were also hit and ran wildly in fright. The trampling by the tall horses intensified the chaotic scene below.

In a short period of time, the soldiers of the Song Army were knocked down and trampled by war horses, causing many deaths, and their wailing was extremely miserable.

Without unified command, as long as one person escapes, most people will continue to flee.

Some officers tried to gather their men and raised their shields to block the arrow attack.

But the entire team was in chaos and lost the possibility of gathering in a short period of time. Sporadic defense was of little significance.

The time has come. At the same time as the third round of arrow rain was launched, Lin Yao raised his right hand and fired "Dragon Explosion", using the latest research method.

A huge pillar of fire rose into the sky, like a flaming golden hoop that penetrated the sky and the earth. After reaching a certain height, it spread like fireworks, covering the sky and the earth.

The confused Song Jun also calmed down briefly, and couldn't help but look at the sky behind him, with extremely shocked emotions in his eyes.

The troops behind the hill saw the familiar scene and understood that this was a military order passed on.

The excited soldiers subconsciously looked in Lin Yao's direction, flags fluttering, war drums beating and killing sounds rang out.

The golden drums are beating in unison and the crowd is roaring, and the yellow dragon will not break the oath.The rebel soldiers who had completed their formation began to take action.

The soldiers of the Song Army who were raided were frightened and fled in all directions when they heard the sound of war drums and shouts of killing.

But the rebels were faster than them, racing against time and attacking decisively.

The formation was completed as quickly as possible. The military formation quickly lined up from the foot of the mountain to the road where the Song Army retreated, blocking the Song Army's retreat.

After Lin Yao's heavy food supplements, the rebel army's long-distance attack and pursuit speed reached the highest level in the world.

In terms of military formations, he compiled a set of reasonable formations based on Zhuge Wuhou's eight formation diagrams.

The sword and shield soldiers were at the front, followed by the stocky spearmen. They inserted the spears into the ground at an angle of 45 degrees and extended out of the shields. They squatted on the ground and held the spears tightly, so that the cavalry did not dare to charge rashly.

The archers and crossbowmen squatted on the ground behind them, waiting for the cavalry to approach and try to break the formation, and use long-range missiles to consume them.

At present, it is only a simple version. The complete military formation can be protected on all sides, and the two wings also need elite cavalry as assistance.

The formation must also include the most elite heavy ax troops who are not afraid of death, and firearms troops with the most powerful armor-breaking capabilities. When the enemy cavalry rushes to a standstill, they must suddenly rush out.

If the two work together, then it will be a powerful military formation that can defend and attack.If it were in complete form, it would be no problem to sweep through the Song Dynasty, Liao Dynasty, Xixia and Dali.

But that is a strength that can only be obtained after a period of development.

Lin Yao was at the top, observing the battlefield from a high position, and was very satisfied with the performance of the rebels.

The soldiers could quickly execute the orders conveyed by the drums, trumpets and flags on the battlefield, completing the task of strangling the Song army.

The soldiers of the Song Army lost their unified command. When they saw the insurgents with bright armor and powerful force appearing in front of them, they panicked and turned their heads and fled in the other direction.

There are also rebels approaching on the other side. They have no way out. They are surrounded.

The Song army, which lost its command, was in a mess, but the rebel army had very strict command.

Seeing that the time was right, the officers shouted out the commands Lin Yao had given before the battle.

"Put down your weapons, squat down and hold your head to avoid death."

Most people were coerced into it, and the tenants had no choice, but Lin Yao wanted to give these people a chance to choose.

The soldiers also actively called, and the calls spread throughout the wilderness. The combined voices of tens of thousands of people were deafening and shocking.

clang clang...

As the weapon in the hands of the first Song Army soldier fell, countless soldiers put down their weapons, squatted down and held their heads in fear, for fear that the rebels would deceive them.

Fortunately, the rebels kept their word and did not cut off their heads. They just collected weapons and tied them up separately.

These people were dealt with in much the same way. After careful selection and ideological education, no big evildoers were divided into fields and absorbed after a period of hard work. The rest were released to dig and build roads to atone for their actions.

Lin Yao looked at the end of the battlefield, looked in the direction of Hangzhou, raised his right hand, and shook it gently.

"Hangzhou, Liangzhe Road."

……

Five days later, the rebel army captured Hangzhou.

In more than half a month, Runzhou and Quzhou were captured, forming a triangle with Hangzhou. Together with Tianmu Mountain, all the passes on the two Zhejiang roads were blocked.

Since then, the rebel army has truly become famous all over the world.
