Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 475: Locust strategy

However, although there are 20,000 volunteers below, they are all old and weak, women and children, and they do not have any siege weapons. It is extremely difficult to take down Zhenhai Mansion! They just clamored loudly below, shouting constantly!

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the Jurchen Commander of Zhenhai Mansion finally came here, and countless Jurchen soldiers had also been alarmed and came to the wall at this moment.

The Jurchen Commander looked down, with a look of horror on his face.

"How come there are so many Khitan untouchables?" Jurchen Qianfuchang's face was pale and muttered.

He came to Zhenhai Mansion five days ago. At that time, the Jurchens already knew the news of the Song army invading Zhenhai Mansion. He just came here to investigate the news! However, after arriving here, he found that Song Jun had retreated from Zhenhai Mansion, and he also brought his own team of Thousands into Zhenhai Mansion! Unexpectedly, after only five days, Zhenhai Mansion was in crisis again!

"General, it was the Khitan who rebelled!" said a centurion.

"Yes, the Khitan has rebelled!" The commander nodded and said.

At this moment, the commander naturally knew this truth.

"General, although there are many Khitans below, they are all weak women and children, not to mention!" said the centurion.

"Oh?" The commander looked down. Someone was wearing a simple self-made torch, so the commander could see the scene clearly below. After a while, he burst into laughter and said: "Sure enough, it's all old Weak women and children! Every one is skinny, it is ridiculous! I was panicked just now! It is just such a few old and weak women and children, weak and without weapons, who are going to attack Zhenhai Mansion?"

"Our Jurchen is invincible in the world, general, as long as we rush out a thousand people, we will definitely be able to kill all the Khitan untouchables!" said the centurion.

"Yes! Come, gather everyone together. The Khitan untouchables below look like 10,000 or 20,000 people, but as long as one thousand of us rush out, they will undoubtedly lose! The Khitan people are indeed a lowly nation, it is ridiculous, rely on Such old and weak women and children want to rebel! How can there be such a funny thing in the world?" After the commander knew the following situation, there was no trace of terror in his heart, but he felt that this matter was extremely absurd!

There is a huge gap between ordinary chaos and the real regular army! Generally speaking, a hundred thousand people in disorder may not be able to defeat a regular army of ten thousand! What's more, the so-called Liaodong Rebels below are all old and weak, women and children, they have no weapons, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined! Of course the commander looked down on the Liaodong Rebels below!

After another quarter of an hour, the thousand Jurchens were assembled. All of them were cavalry. At this moment, they all drew out their weapons, with excited and bloodthirsty expressions on their faces.

"Brothers, our Jurchens are invincible in the world and look down upon us! But we did not expect that the weak Han people would bully us. These slave-like lowly Khitans also wanted to rebel! They were starving to death, each of them skinny like firewood, just Such they are actually trying to rebel? Are you ridiculous?" The commander laughed.

"ridiculous!"

"The absurdity is extreme!"

"General, let's go out and teach them a lesson!"

The Jurchen soldiers roared with laughter! The shouts of the Qidan people continued to be heard from outside, but the Jurchen soldiers only felt ridiculous when they heard it!

"Open the city gate, rush out, and kill all the Khitan untouchables! Let the Khitan untouchables know how wrong their choices are!" Qianfuchang sternly said.

Soon, the south gate of Zhenhai Mansion opened, and a thousand Jurchen cavalry rushed out like a rainbow!

The Liaodong Rebels outside never thought that the Jurchens would dared to rush out, and the Rebel soldiers in front stayed there one by one, at a loss! They were still ordinary poor peasants last night. Most of them have never quarreled with others before. They don't know how to deal with the situation in front of them!

"Kill!" The commander laughed, and slashed forward with a knife. Suddenly the head of a Khitan was chopped off, and the commander showed more excitement on his face.

All the Jurchen soldiers moved forward, and they hardly encountered resistance. Those Khitan people almost stood there waiting to be killed by them! All the Jurchen soldiers are laughing!

"Run!" At this moment, the soldiers of the Liaodong Rebels finally reacted, and they did not hesitate to move their feet and flee towards the back.

Countless Khitan people were so scared that they were **** off, but their physical fitness was so poor that it was impossible for them to pass the Jurchen cavalry!

Thousands of Jurchen cavalry were slaughtered almost on one side!

"Haha, kill all these Khitan people, let's go back and drink!" Qianfuchang laughed!

The Khitan people in front cried and ran away, and kept falling to the ground. Although they had 20,000 people, they were now extremely vulnerable! The Jurchen people were laughing wildly, excited and excited!

However, at this moment, an army behind the rebels rushed forward without any haste!

They are getting closer and closer to the Jurchen cavalry. At this moment, this army has been divided into three parts. There are about two thousand people in the front, and 1,500 people in both directions!

This army is exactly five thousand naval soldiers led by Wang Gui!

The sky was dark, countless torches had been extinguished in the defeat of the Liaodong Rebels, and the thousand Jurchens on the opposite side had not noticed the arrival of the five thousand Song army!

"Shoot!" Song Jun was getting closer and closer to the Jurchen, Wang Gui gave an order, and in the front direction, the dense bowstring vibration sounded!

While the bowstring vibration sounded here, the sound of bows and arrows also rang in the left and right directions!

The sound of bows and arrows was endless, and for a while, those Khitan people who were escaping couldn't help but stop!

Hundreds of Jurchen people were shot to death in an instant! They originally had only a thousand people, and now nearly half of them have been shot to death, and the rest of the Jurchens are in chaos!

These Jurchens wanted to escape, but Song Jun was everywhere, and there was no way for them to escape!

The two-winged Song Army had already faintly blocked their retreat at this moment, and it was impossible for them to retreat to Zhenhai Mansion!

Half a quarter of an hour later, the remaining hundreds of Jurchens also fell in a pool of blood, including the commander who was shot to death by Liu Jian!

"Jurchen was killed by Song Jun!"

"Song Jun is so strong?"

"Great, we defeated Jurchen! Under the leadership of His Royal Highness Liao Wang, we defeated Jurchen! Liao Wang Qiansui!"

"Thousands of Liao Wang!"

The Khitan people who had fled stopped one after another. Not long after, the voice of "Liao Wang Qiansui" was everywhere on the battlefield!

"We have taken down Zhenhai Mansion! Crush! Enter Zhenhai Mansion, we succeeded in rebelling!" A Khitan man shouted loudly and rushed forward.

"There are war horses here, you can kill and eat meat! I haven't eaten meat for seven years!"

"I haven't eaten meat in ten years!"

Countless Khitan people screamed in excitement and excitement. They are all old and weak, women and children, but at this moment desperately rushing towards Zhenhai Mansion.

"There is still grain in Zhenhai Mansion! Let's grab grain inside!"

"Grab! Go inside and eat and drink! It's ours inside!"

"Come on! Those who rush in first have food to eat!"

Twenty thousand old and weak women and children rushed towards Zhenhai Mansion madly!

The sky was getting bright, and Wang Gui and Yeluhong entered the Zhenhai Mansion under the embrace of the Song Army.

There is a mess in Zhenhai Mansion!

Originally this place has been looted by the Song army, and there are not many things left, but now it has been looted by the Liaodong Rebels again! There were even constant screams from a distance, Wang Gui's expression remained unchanged, and Ye Luhong's face showed a look of surprise.

"What happened?" Yeluhong said.

"It's nothing more than the rebels robbing the people in the city! There are still a lot of people in this city. They still have some food and surplus money in their homes, and they are all taken away by the rebels now!" Wang Gui said.

"Is this something bad? We rose up to rebel to understand and save the people, but if we do this now, won't the people in the city suffer?" Yeluhong said.

"There is nothing bad." Wang Gui said lightly.

"General Wang, I think we should stop the rebels!" Yeluhong said.

"Stop them? Why stop them? The reason why they rebelled with the imperial court, your majesty, and you, the Liao King, was to have a bite to eat! But the granary of Zhenhai Mansion was burned by our army that day. There is not much food in the government. The only way for the rebels to grab food from the Khitans in the city! If you stop them now, those rebels will definitely not listen to you, but will complain about you on the contrary. This is extremely detrimental to our great cause!" Wang Guidao.

"However, the Khitan people in the city are also my people. I can't bear to see them suffer disaster." Yeluhong said.

"I didn't expect you to have a bodhisattva heart! In fact, even if the soldiers of the rebels don't grab food from the Khitan people in the city, I will try to let them grab it." Wang Gui said coldly.

"This..." Yeluhong stayed there.

"You are short-sighted and don't know how to rebel! The Khitan people in this city have robbed us of food, and they can't live anymore. They can only rebel with us and continue to go to other places to grab food together! After the place, after countless rebels robbed the food of that place, the people there could only rebel with us! As a result, the number of our rebels is increasing, like a snowball! It doesn’t take long for us to do it. There are rebels with hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands! At that time, the Jurchens will be helpless!" Wang Gui said.

"This..." Ye Luhong was shocked and kept thinking about it. He actually felt that Wang Gui was right, and he was stunned.

There was a sneer on Wang Gui's face!

This is exactly the Liaodong strategy formulated by the staff headquarters! These rebellious Khitans are just like locusts. When they go to one place, they will harm one place. More and more Khitans cannot survive. They can only rebel with them! In Wang Gui's view, this strategy is really brilliant!

Of course he didn't know that the later Li Zicheng did this!

The prestigious King Li Chuang robbed a place every time he went, so that the people of that place could not survive. He had to rebel with him, so the number of troops under his command increased! The Ming dynasty army continued to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng was defeated repeatedly, but his troops turned out to be more and more defeated! Once, Li Zicheng was almost annihilated, but within a few months, the number of soldiers and horses under him exceeded 500,000! The army of the Ming Dynasty couldn't kill, and the more they killed, the more they killed. In the end, the Ming Dynasty was finally overthrown by Li Zicheng!

The General Staff Headquarters named this strategy "locust strategy." The Liaodong Rebels were like locusts. The locusts passed through the border without leaving a single inch of grass. The local Khitans could only become "locusts". The number of locusts became more and more. The Jurchen can't deal with it! Their strategy coincided with that of the later generation Li Zicheng!

In Wang Gui's view, such a strategy is much smarter than the Bailian Rebellion in Dongting Lake back then! However, such a strategy is beyond imagination to the extent of the world's scourge! In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the number of people killed by Li Zicheng's peasant uprising army absolutely far exceeded the number of people killed by the Ming army! If it were in the Central Plains, the General Staff Headquarters would definitely not adopt such a strategy, but this is Liaodong, where most of the population is Khitan, and it happens to adopt such a strategy! Of course, there are also Han people in Liaodong, and those Han people will inevitably suffer disaster!

"Grab! From south to north, grab all the places and all the food and drink, so that people everywhere have to rebel with us, so that our team will become bigger and stronger, and our strength will become stronger and stronger. At that time, we don't even need the court's regular army to arrive, we can compete with Jurchen!" Wang Gui said slowly.

Yeluhong stood there, but felt cold all over! In this way, I am afraid that the entire Liaodong will become ruins, and countless Khitan people will die in the flames of war!

There was chaos in Zhenhai Mansion. I don't know how many crimes happened this night!

It was not until July 7 that the Liaodong Rebels left Zhenhai Mansion, and now their number has exceeded 50,000!

They went all the way to the north, passing by the villages and towns of the Khitan people, and their teams turned out to be more and more!

"His Royal Highness, where are we going now?" Yelvfeng, Xiao Jingye and the others were very happy when they saw more and more teams. They came to Yelvhong in the early morning of July 8 and asked.

"General Wang, talk about it." Yeluhong said.

"We have two roads now. The first is to attack Liaoyang to the west, but there are tens of thousands of Jurchen troops in Liaoyang. We are not their opponents! Therefore, we have to go all the way to the north and attack Zhengzhou! Go to the smallest place, and then continue to strengthen our own strength, and soon we will be able to fight against the Jurchens!" Wang Gui said.

"Just listen to General Wang." Ye Luhong nodded immediately.

Zhengzhou was located in the vicinity of North Railway Station in Tonghua City, Jilin Province. Tens of thousands of ragged and under-fed Liaodong rebels marched there.

Along the way, they robbed one place every time they went, and every place they went there were more Khitans who could not survive to follow them north!

By the time they came to Jeongju Castle on July 15, the number of rebels had reached 130,000!
