Chapter 91: Scene
Chapter 91 Scene
"What new crops and harvests?"
The previous encounters and gains also made Zhou Huaian a little lax and careless.
"Why do you want us to take a detour?
"That... That.. Not crops. ”
The sentry who ran back to report the news was also an old pawn, but he couldn't hide his pale face and trembled slightly, and his face was sweaty.
"That's all people. . . People stakes. ”
"I'll let you lead the team around first. The scene of the free collision was rushed."
"Human stakes."
Before Zhou Huai'an could react, the lieutenant of the sub-battalion who followed him bit big, as if he had been stimulated and touched by something, and suddenly slapped his horse and rushed out, even if it was a loud shout and exchange afterwards, it could not make him stop.
Then, Zhou Huai'an, who slowly followed with his direct team, finally saw clearly what this thing was.
The scene of this scene is like pouring cold water on the heads of the righteous army who are marching forward with high morale, or they have come to dismount again.
Many stripped human bodies were fixed with a wooden stick, and their heads were buried in the ground, leaving only the lower body stiff and swaying in the wind, and at a glance I don't know how many people there were; The shriveled and crows were shriveled and flocked, and everything that pecked was torn out. So close that when you get a little closer, you can smell the rancid stench and other peculiar smells sent by the wind in the peak.
Judging from the sun-dried marks on these people's stakes, they have been sitting here for several days, so that some parts are obviously swollen. And the corpses are basically skinny or skinny, almost all of them are young and strong.
Obviously, the remnants of the local regiments and the official army, in order to prevent these fleeing and starving people from becoming a potential help to the rebels, carried out a massacre as a precautionary measure; Moreover, according to the search of the people who came first, it was found that from the traces of grass sheds and pots left nearby, they were still deceived into a tragedy under the banner of relief.
When he really saw such a scene, Zhou Huai'an was also expressionless, but his heart was irrepressibly ups and downs, he suddenly felt that his extraordinary eyesight was sometimes not a good thing, and the blurred outline in the eyes of others was extremely real in his place.
As the team re-detoured a route, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable and wrong, so he simply stopped and turned around, just stopped in front of his team.
"Stop, stop, let's turn back for a moment."
"You can see it all clearly.
A moment later, Zhou Huai'an, who was standing in the scene again, forcibly endured the rancid smell that diffused in the air, and commanded the leaders standing in the front row
"Relay my words backwards one by one."
"Let all the people pass by and see for themselves."
"This is what those brutes and official dogs are going to do to us and those who are attached to us"
"In order to hinder us from breaking out a way to live and Lang Lang's career, they will be even more unscrupulous to deal with us."
"Again, the senseless momentary sympathy and the slightest soft-heartedness for these thieves will only make our fate worse than these."
"We can only be more cruel and ferocious, more resolute and ruthless than these enemies."
"It is possible to overwhelm them, destroy them, and seek a glimmer of life for every poor person."
"Let every wicked man and thief who hears the name of the righteous army tremble, panic, and flee for it."
"Let every rich man and official who has committed many acts of injustice be awake at night and afraid to death for us."
After a brief delay and noise, and a moment of silence, a loud echo and roar erupted under the leadership of the veteran.
"The day is averaged."
"The world is peaceful."
"Create peace."
"Blood debt and blood repayment."
"Never die."
Looking at these soldiers whose faces were flushed and their expressions were solemn, and they no longer had negative emotions such as worry, fear, and cringe, Zhou Huai'an breathed a sigh of satisfaction at this time.
Although there is a certain probability that this will lead to those new soldiers who are not enough to prepare and realize themselves to be frightened, and even leave a psychological shadow, which will lead to a period of low tide; But it is more likely that when they gradually adapt and go through the psychological hurdles, they will arouse the momentum and atmosphere of the same hatred and hatred, so that this team will radiate more cohesion and fighting will.
As the process of cleaning up and burying the corpses, more clues were discovered, and a small number of them had marks on the helmets and armor, apparently the remnants of the rebels who had escaped one after another. But most of them are ordinary people with yellow faces and thin muscles, and they have been the result of various abuses and tortures before they die.
Well, in a sense, the purpose of the other side to deter the rebels has been partially achieved, and many people in the logistics brigade have become silent and have no shortage of frightened expressions. And Zhou Huai'an has a new understanding of this.
Sure enough, class contradiction is a fundamental all-out struggle, with no weakness or sympathy to speak of, let alone any possibility of reconciliation and compromise; Although the level of productivity in this era is not enough to support it, the kind of national collective awakening in later generations where everyone goes forward and succeeds like a dragon, looking for various ways to save the world and survive;
And most of these peasant armies are just fuel for catalyzing and promoting the great changes of this great era; There are even a considerable number of people who have the intention of seeking glory and wealth, and have the intention of getting rid of the broad masses of toiling people and becoming a member of the oppressor class, and will not hesitate to become the kind of person they once hated the most whenever they have the opportunity;
But at least some of the experimental seeds have been quietly sown by him, and I don't know what kind of fruit will grow in these peasant armies. And the scene encountered on this road also gave Zhou Huaian a new proposition and idea in his heart.
If we don't care about the cost and environment, how can we effectively destroy the ruling authority and official influence that the Tang Dynasty has inherited from generation to generation in this Lingnan land? In fact, the most direct and effective way is undoubtedly to kill the officials who are the tools of grassroots execution, as well as the powerful and powerful households who are the extension limit and end of the government's influence and the potential basis of rule.
Directly destroy and disintegrate the ruling order caused by respect and inferiority from the lowest level, so that through the chaos and blankness of the grassroots level, the prestige and resource advantages of the officers and soldiers are brought to the same level as the peasant army; Then, through the peasant army's ability to gather crowds to counter chaos and mobile warfare, they were defeated one by one.
After all, even if the official army can fight back in the future, it will have to spend great effort to rebuild the ruling order, and it will not be able to obtain local help and cooperation in a short period of time, and carry out the traditional sense of raising food and money and even levying conscription to enrich the military; The rebels, on the other hand, are particularly accustomed and accustomed to fighting in the midst of this chaos and disorder; Therefore, under these two advantages, it is not as simple as a plus one equals two.
That night, at the meeting of the routine eating and drinking,
"Monk, you say you can divide the troops?。。
Wang Pan, who was dealing with a piece of sheep and scorpion, said with a vague and slightly surprised speech.
"Exactly"
Zhou Huai'an, who also used a knife to slowly cut the tail of the plum sheep, also said sincerely:
"I just think that in the current situation, this can give full play to the advantages of my army."
"First clear the rear and side areas, and then do the key offensive and do a good job."
According to the concept he stated, on the basis of the relatively sufficient personnel and materials of the Fury Wind Battalion, in the next battle, the rebels of the Fury Wind Camp were no longer in a hurry to directly conquer and recover the county town of Dayi, or to engage in a large-scale decisive battle with the enemy;
What needs to be uprooted and cleaned up one by one along the way, those powerful local forces entrenched in the local area, first move the surrounding area and the back road to clear out a relatively safe area, which is also the final lesson of the previous battle of Changle County.
Therefore, it is also the basic run-in process of slowly training and seeing blood for those new soldiers who are inevitably a little lacking in quality after a large number of expansions; And the scale of the strongholds of these rural earthen villages is destined not to be too powerful, even if there are any hard bones, they can be piled up with people and instruments;
After building one village after another, most of them can still obtain financial goods, food, and manpower supplements, and they will not lose too much from the economic account, or even make up for it slightly. It's just that it requires meticulous and thoughtful water grinding work, and it will take a little longer in terms of operation time and cycle, and it will greatly test the coordination and overall control ability of all parties after the division of troops.
At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that there is enough scale and binding force, and you can't just let the ducks go without knowing where the troops sent are going, or people can't find them back for a while.
Then, after clearing out the many strongholds and potential supporting forces on the outskirts with unclear attitudes, it is time to take the next step of besieging and attacking the cities that have been isolated and cut off from foreign aid. After such an operation, there are some rudiments of the tactics of surrounding the city in the countryside in later generations.
"But I thought of one thing."
Wang Pan sighed a little.
"I just got the report of the front battalion and the sentinel,"
"Most of those thieves and official dogs have shrunk into the city and are waiting for us."
"I'm worried about how to re-transfer them out."
"You're going to start a dozen here, and see if they can save it."
"If you don't come, you will steal their family property and fields, and strengthen the righteous army."
"As long as these thieves move. Then why do you have more choices, don't you? ”
Well, Zhou Huai'an felt that he still underestimated the experience and skills that these peasant army generals had cultivated on the battlefield.
Therefore, at the time of the next reading, in addition to Wang Pan's central sub-battalion, which still maintained the momentum of long-distance drive, and while containing and attracting the enemy in the county, the four sub-battalions of the front and rear and left and right also assigned their respective directions, and began to realize the multi-way division of troops and the means of sweeping the periphery.
