When it was dark, 150,000 "rebels" had already set off!

These rebels were ordinary people, and when they were in the village in the past, they also went out to work before dawn, so now they don't feel much tired, and everyone is in good spirits!

However, the ranks of the rebels are unusually chaotic! The formation of these rebel armies lasted only ten days, and they relied on the constraints of the elders, altar masters, and incense masters in the White Lotus Sect in the past, and some of these elders, altar masters, and incense masters were Jianghu figures, and some were from official gentry, and they had no experience in commanding the army at all! Moreover, these rebels did not have any military training! As ordinary people, it is impossible for their team not to be chaotic!

The number of weapons in Mianyang and Guangyuan is limited, and at this moment, among the 150,000 troops, only 10,000 people have swords and other weapons, and more people are holding wooden sticks! There are still many people who don't even have wooden sticks in their hands, they just follow their fellow villagers, follow those elders, altar owners, and incense owners to Chengdu, ready to "make money"!

There was a lot of commotion in the ranks, and there were voices of speech everywhere! It's like there are countless flies buzzing and screaming!

"Lao Liu, how is your family's harvest this year?" A rebel in his sixties stood with another seventy-year-old, both of them thin and wrinkled, and neither of them holding any weapons! Each of them has a cigarette pouch in their hands and chats while smoking!

"This year's harvest is slightly better than last year's! However, this year's rent is even more than last year's, and eighty percent of the rent has been given to Mrs. Hong! Wait until the beginning of spring next year, I will do some short-term work for Mrs. Hong's family and earn some silver! I have a carpentry trade, so I can fill the house! "The seventy-year-old righteous army said.

"Isn't it now that we have entered the White Lotus Prosperous Age? No one has to work, everyone has something to eat, no more hunger! In that case, why bother to do carpentry for Mrs. Hong's house again? The rebels in their sixties made a sound of surprise.

"What White Lotus Flourishes? Even if we enter the prosperous era of White Lotus, Mrs. Hong is also the owner of the altar, and we are also other people's subordinates, so we still have to listen to others! I don't think it's much different from before, or even worse! If it weren't for the five taels of gold, I wouldn't have joined the rebels and went to Chengdu! "That seventy-year-old righteous soldier said.

Although Yang Mo promised a large number of rewards, including ordinary rebels, if they entered Chengdu, everyone would have a hundred taels of gold, but under the layers of deductions from the elders, altar masters, and incense masters, only "five taels of gold" remained in the hands of ordinary rebels! And this is just a promise, no one knows if it can really be kept!

"You say, will it be dangerous for us to go to Chengdu?" Righteous soldiers in their sixties.

"There are so many of us, what danger will there be? The lads are rushing to the front, they have sticks in their hands, so they don't have to fight with us old men! "The seventy-year-old righteous army said.

"That's what my brother said!" The rebel in his sixties nodded.

Among the 150,000 rebels, one-fifth were over 50 years old, and one-fifth were under 15 years old! Many of the rebels were only ** years old, and they were brought by their own fathers in order to earn five taels of gold! There are still many disabled people in the rebel army, as for the malnourished and weak ones, everyone is here for the gold, anyway, the White Lotus Sect has no requirements for the quality of the rebel army, so they all join the rebel army!

150,000 rebels, one regiment here, one regiment there! Some people get separated from their own team while walking, so they join another team, looking for fellow countrymen in another team, and the team is in chaos, but no one cares! Those elders, altar owners, and incense masters only fantasize about being promoted and making a fortune after conquering Chengdu at the moment, who cares about the "untouchables" below?

Watching the 150,000 rebels below head towards the south, Yang Mo had an excited expression on his face!

Zhong Xiang stood aside, but his brows were furrowed.

"Master, are you dissatisfied with the old man?" Yang Mo said.

"These are not rebels at all! Just a bunch of rags! Not even as good as a real rebel! Zhong Xiang gritted his teeth and said.

In all dynasties, those real rebels, they all couldn't live because they didn't eat or drink, and they rebelled against the court driven by their physical hunger instincts! Although they are not organized, they can't survive anyway, and the sense of resistance is extremely high, so thousands of people gather together, and they also have a certain combat power, if they reach hundreds of thousands or millions, forming a team of displaced people, like locusts crossing the border, the officers and soldiers dare not provoke easily! But the 150,000 rebels under his command are not like this at all, everyone is coming for the reward, if everything goes well, they will naturally be able to achieve victory, if they encounter the slightest adversity, they are afraid that the rebels will collapse immediately!

Zhong Xiangnai is a famous leader of peasant uprisings in history, and his insight is extraordinary! He had seen the officers and soldiers in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Jurchen army, and the New Song army under Zhao Chen! However, he had to admit that even the officers and soldiers in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, who had the worst combat effectiveness, were much stronger than the rebels in front of him!

"Master, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are now creating chaos in various places, and Chengdu Mansion is unusually empty! After our 150,000 troops arrive, we will definitely be able to conquer Chengdu Mansion! Yang Mo said.

"Not bad! Now Sichuan and Shu are empty, this is an opportunity, we must seize this opportunity! After I get the whole of Sichuan and Shu, I will reorganize the army and fight with Zhao Chen, Zhao Gou, and the Jurchens until I win the world and become the emperor! Zhong Xiang nodded and said!

"It's a pity that the Propaganda Division under Zhao Chen is too strong, and our strength has never been able to enter the army! If our White Lotus Sect can preach in the army, there will be no need to worry about the officers and soldiers of the imperial court at this time! Yang Mo said.

"That's right! This propaganda department is extremely powerful, and when I get Sichuan Shu, I will also learn this set of methods of Emperor Xuanwu! Zhong Xiang said.

******

The army slowly moved forward, and they were still walking on the Golden Bull Road!

In the beginning, the speed of the team was quite fast!

But by noon, the speed of the team was getting slower and slower, especially those sixty or seventy-year-old old men and **-year-old children, who had fallen behind!

At this time, Zhong Xiangyang had to let the army stop and rest!

After an hour, Zhong Xiangyang Mo ordered the army to set off again! However, the soldiers of the army were in great distress, and few of them stood up! Dozens of altar owners and incense owners also stepped forward, saying that they were unwilling to continue on the road! Many of these altar owners and incense owners are from official gentry backgrounds, and they have been pampered since childhood, where have they suffered like this!

Zhong Xiang was angry, but there was no choice but to order the army to continue to rest!

It was not until the morning of August 27 that the 150,000-strong army set out again!

They walked all morning every day and began to rest at noon!

On the first day of the ninth month, they came to Lutou Pass! This is an important checkpoint on the Golden Bull Road, but now it is empty, and the 150,000 rebels have successfully occupied the Lutou Pass!

"Master, the garrisons of the imperial court have all been evacuated! It seems that the imperial court is afraid of us! Yang Mo came to Zhong Xiang's side and said.

"Yes! We have an army of 150,000, who can not be afraid of us? This small Lutou Pass used to have only more than 500 garrisons! Do more than 500 of them dare to fight a decisive battle with our 150,000 people? Zhong Xiang laughed!

On the third day of the ninth month, they came to Baima Pass, and the garrison here retreated! Zhong Xiang and Yang Mo were even more happy in their hearts, and those righteous elders, altar masters, and incense masters were also extremely excited, needless to say!

On the fifth day of the ninth month, they came to Jingyang Station, where there was still no imperial garrison! The rebels are pleasantly surprised again!

Until the tenth day of the first month of September, they came to the Jinyan Station, an important stronghold on the Golden Bull Road! It's still empty, but the rebels aren't as excited as they used to be!

After days of hurrying, the rebel soldiers were really tired! Not to mention those sixty or seventy-year-old old men, even some young men in the prime of life are not willing to continue on their way now!

Zhong Xiang and Yang Mo ordered the army to rest here!

In the middle of the night on this day, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly came from the south of the rebel army!

In the middle of the night, I don't know where an army rushed out! The rebels don't know how many people there are in this army!

Most of the people in the south are young adults, who are asleep, and arrows are already raining down in the sky!

Countless rebels got up from the ground, and they retreated backwards without even thinking about it!

"Oh no! The officers and soldiers of the imperial court are coming! Retreat! ”

"The number of officers and soldiers in the imperial court is extremely large, and countless people have died! If you don't retreat, it's too late! ”

"Hurry back!"

There are shouting voices everywhere! The young men in those rebels were extremely anxious! They were ordinary people, they had no military training, and they were attacked by a large army in their sleep in the middle of the night, and their reaction was normal!

Then the rumbling of war drums could be heard in the distance!

The war drums roared as if thousands were beating them!

Every drum beat seemed to be beating in people's hearts, and at this time all the rebel soldiers were awakened! Countless rebels retreated to the north in fear!

Zhong Xiang and Yang Mo have also woken up, and both of them are surprised at the moment!

"Quick! Restrain the army! Let the army not be confused! It is impossible for the imperial court to have many soldiers and horses at this time! Zhong Xiang shouted loudly!

"Elder Song, Elder Wang, Elder Li, stop quickly, what are you doing?" In the dark night, Yang Mo saw several elders heading towards the north, and shouted at the moment!

However, there was a lot of chaos around him, and the elders didn't hear what he was doing clearly! The surrounding rebels are all retreating frantically, and these elders are afraid of falling behind others, so they naturally retreat together!

The army is in chaos to the extreme! There were screams everywhere, and occasionally screams! Some of the rebel soldiers were trampled on the ground by their own people, but at such a moment, who could pay attention to these rebels?

"Lord Xue Tan, Lord Li Tan, Lord Qian Xiang! Restrain yourselves to your men! Yang Mo saw a few more people rushing towards him and said loudly.

"Damn! The army of the imperial court is there, how to restrain the army? We're all going to die, and you're going to let us restrain the army! A incense master yelled at Yang Mo!

"What did you say?" Yang Mo was furious!

"Lao Tzu is a man with a family and a business! It's really blind to follow you cults into trouble! Now that the army of the imperial court is coming, what should I do? "The incense lord's face is terrified!

"Master? What to do? Yang Mo looked at Zhong Xiang and said in horror.

"Let's go! Get out of here first! Let's get out first, and then we'll talk! By dawn, we will definitely be able to defeat the army of the imperial court! Zhong Xiang said.

Yang Mo nodded, this can only be the case now!
