Chapter 210 The confrontation between the two armies
In Zhuguan City.
But I saw a strong man wearing Longxia armor coming to a shed.
"Brother, we have robbed all the food shipped from Yizhou. This food is enough for our more than 15,000 brothers to eat for half a year!"
As for the room, a young man with a knife was staring at a map on the table. Hearing the man's words, he didn't say much.
"Let the brothers eat enough today, and tomorrow morning, we will kill Yizhou!"
"Yizhou? Why don't we take Jiaozhou first?"
The young man shook his head: "Right now, Jiaozhou has nothing but hungry people, but Yizhou has enough food for the whole world to eat for a year. Does it mean that people all over the country now rely on the food of Yizhou to survive? Wait until we take down Yizhou.
The world will be at your fingertips!"
When he said this, the strong man's heart suddenly ignited with passion.
The whole world! It has been said since ancient times that heroes emerge in troubled times. This is their best chance to transcend social classes.
However, he was so excited that the strong man couldn't help but say: "Yizhou seems to be the place of the King of Shuchuan, right? I heard that he has always been at odds with the court, and I don't know that he is such a powerful person on the battlefield.
Seize the opportunity."
Hearing the name King Shuchuan, the young man's face froze for a moment, but soon he said: "His military power was taken away. This is why I dare to attack Yizhou directly. Go down and let the brothers prepare."
The strong man raised his hands: "Yes!"
But after the man left, the shed became quiet again. The young man quietly looked at the map covering the entire area of Longxia, and couldn't help but feel lost.
The world changes so fast, and things always happen so suddenly. You know, more than two months ago, I was still a small worker in a rich man's family.
But now he has become the leader of nearly 20,000 rebels. As long as Yizhou is captured this time, there will be more and more troops in hand, and they will be able to replace this precarious dynasty and become the new dynasty.
A generation of monarchs!
The young man silently put away the map and walked outside the shed to look at the dusk in the distance.
Now that we have this opportunity, we must reorganize the old mountains and rivers like those kings who rebelled in the past dynasties!
Early the next morning, the young man took all the troops and headed straight for Yizhou.
As for Chen Mu, after running all night, he has returned to the Dian region again.
There is a place that must be passed on the way to Yizhou. There are mountains and gorges on both sides, and this is the main road in the middle.
Facing a group of stragglers, Chen Mu didn't plan and didn't bother to think of any tactics. Two thousand people lined up side by side, and he first swept the wave with flintlock rifles.
As long as you scare them away, the rest will be easy to deal with.
Zhuguan City was at least a hundred or two hundred miles away, so it was not until noon the next day that a scout finally rode up from a distance.
Seeing this, Chen Mu raised his sword and shouted quickly: "The whole army is on alert!"
Hearing this, everyone present immediately became excited.
The scout rode up to Chen Mu and said anxiously: "Master Zhou Mu, a team of nearly 20,000 people is coming this way!"
Chen Mu nodded, and sure enough, after half a stick of incense was passed, airtight human walls appeared in front of everyone.
There were a lot of people, almost ten times the number on Chen Mu's side, but Chen Mu only glanced at the advantage over the number of people and didn't take it to heart.
The equipment and military quality of the two thousand men behind him are incomparable to a group of peasant soldiers without any system or combat experience.
Soon, the young man walking at the front discovered Chen Mu and his party.
The sturdy man on the side pointed to the flag erected in front of him and said with a horrified look on his face: "Chen surnamed Wang Qi, this is... the army of King Shuchuan!"
The man was a Longxia soldier who had removed his armor and returned to the field. Although he had never fought under Chen Mu, he never knew about this black royal flag unique to the king of Shuchuan!
Even though the number of people was not large, just a flag made him feel timid.
We know that what we are facing now is the King of Shuchuan who once defeated both Tubo and Tatar countries!
"Brother, what should I do?"
Compared to the leading young man, he was much calmer. He waved his hand.
"The imperial court has taken away his military power. I think these thousands of people are his entire army. With so many of us, even if we hit them with hoes, we can knock them to death. Why are we panicking?"
Now he looked at the Yizhou Shepherd in the distance who was almost a few years younger than him.
In fact, he was a little scared, but it was not the soldiers behind him, but this man's keen awareness.
We had known earlier that he was in Jiaozhou City. If ordinary people had heard about their rebellion, they would have made all-out defense preparations in Jiaozhou City.
But he came here early to wait, so that he could analyze his strategic trends in the first moment.
I'm just afraid...that this person has already sent troops towards here before he has decided whether to attack Yizhou.
He was so meticulous in his thinking, no wonder the two countries of Tatar and Tibet, which were capable of conquering and fighting, were defeated by him. It was definitely not a coincidence.
But at the next moment, Chen Muzong took a few steps forward slowly.
"I know that you are all forced by famine. I, Chen Mu, am not one of those mediocre officials in the imperial court. Now that I have come with food, there will be no more famine. Surrender and forgive your guilt."
Chen Mu really didn't want to kill these people. They were all poor people. If it weren't for the harsh world, how could they dare to rebel and kill the nine tribes?
Furthermore, Yizhou now needs to expand its military strength. These people will be soldiers fighting for him in the future. Killing them is no different from killing one of your own.
As soon as the words came out, a few people actually put down their weapons, but soon they heard the young man sternly say: "There is no turning back for rebellion! If you fight a bloody road, there may be a way to survive. If you surrender, what do you think?"
Will the imperial court spare those of us who intend to rebel?"
As soon as he said these words, he quickly stabilized the shaky military morale.
The next moment, he raised his sword and shouted: "Kill me! Fight a bloody path! Kill to Yizhou and allow Yizhou to be plundered for three days!"
Hearing the word "Three Days of Robbery" immediately set everyone on fire. They would go after women, kill people, and rob money without having to suffer any consequences. Which man can refuse?
The next moment, everyone raised their weapons and swarmed towards Chen Mu.
As for Chen Mu, seeing that his attempts to dissuade him were fruitless, he waved his hand helplessly: "Shoot within a hundred steps, and charge with your sword within fifty steps!"
The next moment, under the command of the Qianjun Battalion, the first row of military formations took the lead in pulling the trigger, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of rebels fell to the ground.
"Let the second team go!"
Immediately afterwards, hundreds more people were shot and fell to the ground.
This was originally a dimensionality reduction attack, and Chen Mu just watched quietly as the people's vitality faded away.
As for the young man, hundreds of people had already fallen to the ground in an instant, and they were so frightened that they froze on the spot: "This... what kind of weapon is this?"
In less than a cup of tea, there were already two to three thousand casualties on their side. The seemingly huge flow of people was so vulnerable at the moment.
When he looked at Chen Mu again, he only saw him raising his middle finger.
"Young man, I've taken care of Yizhou. Even the huge Longxia court doesn't dare to cause trouble. Why do you still want to plunder Yizhou?"
