Chapter 189: The Great Uprising
After Zhang Yu came to the Eastern Wilderness with the trapped camp, he did not run around like a headless fly, or was busy fighting for turf.
As a native of the Great Wilderness, Zhang Yu knows that only food is the hope for the continuation of life.
……
The Great Wilderness, divided into nine regions, corresponds to the ancient Kyushu system, where there is no unified right, only independent regimes of different sizes, shrunk in the gap between the Great Xia Kingdom and the fallen world.
Liangzhou, one of the Great Wilderness Kyushu, is located on the northeast side of Yinping Mountain, and it is also the place that Zhang Yu is most familiar with.
The terrain is rugged, mostly mountainous, far away from the transportation arteries of the Eastern Wilderness, and will not be easily discovered by the demons, so Zhang Yu decided to place the uprising area there.
With the support of the terrain and mountains, it is difficult for the demon clan to find here, and he does not need to go to a densely populated place, in a place like the Eastern Great Wilderness, as long as everyone can be guaranteed to have enough to eat, someone will come from thousands of miles away.
There is a place in Liangzhou called Luliang Mountain, and Zhang Yu finally settled the team here.
Around Luliang Mountain, there are several villages, adding up to about tens of thousands of people, as long as you have a good relationship with them, help them cultivate the land, or help them do some small favors, these people will become the eyes of the military region, but if the demon clan has any trouble, they will report their whereabouts in time.
……
The team of all the evolutionaries is very mobile, and countless simple wooden huts were built on the same day, which can be used as temporary shelter.
In the Luliang Mountain, Zhang Yu walked alone.
Soon, he found a place on relatively flat ground.
Then, he raised his knife and fell, and the moon slashing knife slashed a sharp knife against the ground, and the trees within a radius of 100 meters were cut off from the roots.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yu opened the system and clicked on the Divine Source Liquid that had been refrigerated by him for a long time.
This is a new ability given to him by the system after Zhang Yu broke through the Grandmaster, which can make the land rejuvenate and upgrade, speed up the growth of plants, and even have a purifying effect.
Zhang Yu felt that this thing might be able to remove the mutant virus from the land, thereby increasing the yield of food, so he decided to give it a try.
Tick.
Zhang Yu just extracted a drop of divine source liquid and dropped it, and in the next second, the land suddenly glowed with infinite vitality, and a green aura visible to the naked eye appeared out of thin air, slowly rippling out, locked in one place, and some fine gray substances were constantly being eaten away and evolving.
Zhang Yu felt that the gray matter that had been evolved was the mutated virus that remained in the land.
Why is everyone a mutant in the Great Wilderness?
It's because the water and soil here are polluted.
A newborn, even if it is healthy, after eating the food grown in this soil and drinking polluted water resources, will become a mutant in the long run, even if it is not a mutant!
Now, all the mutated viruses in this area have not been removed, and even some plants and trees have been revived, no longer lifeless.
Zhang Yu nodded with satisfaction, the effect of the divine source liquid is really like this, God gave him the system, as if he was to save the great wilderness.
Next, Zhang Yu quickly walked all over Luliang Mountain, and in the end, he found a total of ten flat terrain and three water sources, all of which he had purified with Shenyuan liquid, and could be used with confidence.
It can be said that the current Luliang Mountain is a pure land in the Great Wilderness, regardless of the invasion of mutant viruses.
Under Zhang Yu's instructions, all the officers and soldiers in the trapped camp turned their troops into farmers, began to reclaim wasteland in this place, and asked the villagers in the surrounding villages for some grain seeds to start planting.
Surprisingly, perhaps because of the purification of the Divine Source Liquid, the soil here is extremely fertile, and there is even a tendency to make plants evolve, and those grains have only been leaked in just a few days.
Some local farmers speculate that this batch of grain may mature with wheat in the summer.
Zhang Yu was overjoyed, and in this way, the food problem could be solved.
In the Great Wilderness, the most scarce materials are not medical care, not education, but food!
Eating, drinking, and Lazar is the most important thing in life, life is the basis of all things, and only by not starving to death can we consider higher things.
In the summer of 203 in the Divine Calendar.
The grain in Luliang Mountain is ripe.
The officers and men of the trapped camp were busy downward, but within a few days, the grain had been beaten and put into storage.
According to statistics, about 3,000 tons of grain will be harvested this season, which is enough for the officers and men of the camp to hold out until the next season's grain is ripe.
If nothing else, after the autumn harvest, Zhang Yu's department will have abundant food and the ability to relieve the surrounding masses, so they can go deep into the people and launch uprisings.
However, the unexpected is always unexpected.
At the beginning of July 203 in the Divine Calendar.
The Great Wilderness Kyushu region set off the first peasant uprising war.
The core area of the uprising, in the middle of the Great Wilderness.
Because the demons marched westward and occupied the original outer regions of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Great Wilderness became the most important transportation route for the demon army.
The demon mutant creatures soon realized that the distance between transporting food from the Fallen World to the outer regions of Great Xia was too long.
Escorting 10,000 tons of grain and grass to the outer regions of Great Xia, at least 3 tons of grain and grass will be consumed during the period, which is difficult for the demon army to accept.
In the end, an officer of the demon clan proposed a solution, that is, to raise food nearby.
In addition to the strict grain collection accident in the foreign region of Great Xia, the same thing happened in the Great Wilderness, and the Luliangshan generation escaped by luck because of the remote terrain.
Zhang Yu listened to the conversation of the nearby villagers, and half of the ordinary people in the great wilderness could not afford to pay for food.
Yes, Zhang Yu sighed deeply.
The people of the Great Wilderness are difficult to even solve their own food and clothing, so how can they have the spare energy to pay for food.
But the demons don't care so much.
If they could not pay the food, they dragged one person from the people's homes and put him in the barracks as a hostage.
If the food is not replenished within three days, the hostages will be beheaded on the spot.
How many ordinary people are enduring life and death, it's not that they don't want to take out food, it's that they really don't have the strength.
Because of the mutant virus, the yield of the land in the Great Wilderness is very low, and the food obtained by farming for three or four months is not enough for oneself to eat.
I heard that there are even cities in the Eastern Wilderness that have been slaughtered because they can't afford to pay food.
Inside the city, corpses and bones were everywhere, and blood flowed down the moat into the angry river, and even the river was dyed red.
Under such a strict policy, finally in the summer, a great uprising broke out among the people of the Eastern Wilderness.
This uprising swept half of the great wilderness.
The mutant warriors who spontaneously rushed to enlist in the army were as many as 300,000.
They took their shovels and hoes at home, and came all the way to join the rebel army, not for anything else, they just wanted to drive away the demons, even if it cost them their lives.
In Luliang Mountain, Zhang Yu visited everywhere, and under his insistent lobbying, dozens of people volunteered to come out of the nearby villages to guide them.
After choosing a guide, Zhang Yu quickly returned to Luliang Mountain, dispatched the guard battalion, the first division, and the second division under his command, attacked the strength of 8,000 people, and rushed to the area of the great uprising.
In fact, Zhang Yu was not optimistic about this big uprising, because it was too hasty, and there were nine rank great masters among the demons, and the people of the Great Wilderness rarely appeared even seven grades.
The strength of both sides is not at all a grade.
Therefore, Zhang Yu's trip was not to respond to the uprising, on the contrary, he was to rush to rescue the rebels in the Eastern Wilderness.
On July 13, Zhang Yu's scouts found traces of the demon army on the Eastern Wilderness Highway.
According to the report of the Tanma, the demons sent an unprecedented army this time, with 100,000 people! The target refers to the core area of the official uprising.
"Grab me a prisoner." Zhang Yu said.
After a while, a scrawny demon humanoid creature was grabbed and thrown to the ground.
Zhang Yu rode on the standing horse, looked down at him from high below, and said: "The people of the Great Wilderness launched an uprising, but they just wanted to pursue freedom and democracy, and did not launch any large-scale conflicts against the demons, why did you demons launch a large army to quell the uprising?" ”
The demon creature said, "Because those foolish people have offended the majesty of the king!" Anyone who dares to challenge the majesty of my king will pay the price! ”
"Poof!"
Zhang Yu cut off his head with a knife.
Immediately afterward, he ordered the team to quickly march to the heart of the Great Uprising, and be sure to bring the news to the Great Uprising Army before the Demon Army arrived.
After five days of sleepless and all-out running, the officers and men of the trapped camp finally reached the core of the great uprising on the afternoon of July 19.
It can be seen that it is different from the usual situation of scattered people.
Before reaching the core of the uprising, it was obvious that the people here were very vigilant.
Some of the people who were modeled by the common people looked at the firewood, and when they were trapped in the camp and left, they immediately lit a bonfire.
People who saw a bonfire in the distance lit a bonfire again.
In the long run, almost within three hours, the rebel army in the middle of the Great Wilderness knew that a large army was approaching.
The officers at the head of the rebel army should give the order and set up a military formation to meet the enemy.
But the military tent was just a gust of wind blowing, and a figure made him completely shut up.
Zhang Yu suddenly appeared at the headquarters of the rebel army, which frightened many people, they only felt a gust of wind blowing, and there was an unknown person in the military tent, which was like a mysterious immortal law.
Zhang Yu didn't talk nonsense, he didn't come here to kill anyone, or to be polite or anything, but to make the rebels vigilant, the main army of the demon clan is almost here!
"The demon army is only three hundred miles away from this place at most!" Zhang Yu said.
However, the rebels were not surprised, and some of the officers clapped their chests with a crackling sound, and had no intention of retreating, but were asking for battle.
Zhang Yu hurriedly persuaded: "The demon army is very evenly matched at all levels, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades are full of every team, which is not something you can compete with now." ”
But his words aroused the dissatisfaction of many people, and the leader even kicked him out very unceremoniously.
After being driven out of the rebel army, Zhang Yu let out a long sigh helplessly.
The rebels were too impetuous, and they were all people who had no military training to serve as officers, and at most they had a little prestige.
For example, a village chief, who obviously struggled to kill a chicken and didn't understand anything, but because of his high prestige in the village, the leader of the rebel army made him an officer.
This is clearly illogical.
The army employs people with ability first, rather than blindly looking only at human feelings.
For a moment, Zhang Yu even wanted to throw away the stall.
But in the end, he decided that he had to help.
The number of rebels gathered here is too large, and it has now exceeded half a million people.
Every night, you can see the city full of sparks, looking down at the sky, like a sea of gold.
Giving up the lives of so many people to the demon army to kill, Zhang Yu couldn't do such a thing.
Eventually, he ordered the camp to fall into the camp, and simply found a piece of land nearby and began to recruit soldiers who volunteered to participate in the great uprising.
There are so many people with lofty ideals, Zhang Yu doesn't want to see them waste their lives in a camp that is impossible to win, if they have to revolt, they just join the trapping camp.
Zhang Yu thinks that his military ability is still relatively good, at least, much better than the grassroots rebel army, joining his command, maybe he will die, but he will not die in vain.
In just one day, the number of new recruits in the trapped camp reached 2,300.
That's a pretty impressive number, but if you look at the rebels, there are more than 13,000 new recruits in a day!
……
On this night, the demon army finally arrived!
From afar, on the horizon in the distance, a black wave rushed straight into the rebel army.
They marched in a neat pace, lined up in a neat military formation, and their military appearance was neat and orderly, and their momentum was brazen, which was by no means something that the rebel army could do.
After discovering them, the rebel command also quickly issued an order for the main army to assemble.
However, because the number of rebels was so large, it was difficult to assemble the number of rebels for a while.
And those officers who don't understand bullshit are as stupid as shit when it comes to just commanding.
They would only shout desperately in front of the soldiers: "The first team will assemble on the left, the second team on the right, and the third team on the middle, but I am afraid they themselves will not understand where these three positions are." ”
It had been assembled for an hour, and the battle array was still not in place.
And the army of demons has already sounded the horn of the charge.
"Hula-"
The sound of breaking the air sounded, and the main army of the 100,000 demons was like a huge black fist, and it slammed a fist towards the 500,000 rebel army.
Because of the reason why there were seven-rank masters at the front to open the way, as well as the use of the battle array, the demon army was like a bamboo, and after an hour, the rebel army was stopped in two.
At the same time, they quickly outflanked them, and the inner part of the rebel army was surrounded by 80,000 soldiers.
"Rush! Rescue your compatriots! "In the rebels, there are people shouting like that.
But the shouting quickly attracted the seventh-rank powerhouse of the demon clan, and a figure pounced like a big bird, easily cutting off his head with a pop.
As a result, the formation, which had already collapsed, became even more chaotic.
Zhang Yu even heard an officer of the rebel army scolding: "Damn, the people of the demon clan don't talk about trust, why don't they wait for us to line up the phalanx before fighting!" ”
He couldn't help laughing, this officer still thought that the war was playing at home?
If you punch me and kick me, no one can kill anyone?
Fighting, seizing the opportunity will be a direct devastating blow, what does the enemy give you the opportunity to do?
When you react, won't the enemy soldiers be killed or wounded?
They won't watch their soldiers die!
Zhang Yu sighed, those officers of the rebel army couldn't even figure out these simple truths, and it would be strange if they could win this battle.
