Qiming 1158

Chapter 1038 His Name
The explosion of the gunpowder depot ignited the long-standing panic among the Song soldiers in Wuchang City.

At the same time, I don't know who shouted [The thieves are coming] - the soldiers of the Song Army in Wuchang City fell into a frenzy and fled.

Those who encounter obstacles can be beaten or kicked, or drawn swords to face each other, pushing and trampling each other can be considered polite, and directly using a knife to open the way is considered a gentleman's behavior.

They slaughtered each other, slashing with red eyes and wielding knives, no matter who was around, whether it was a friend, a relative, or the person who ate in a cauldron yesterday.

They all had red eyes, fighting each other in order to survive.

In order to leave Wuchang City, in order to escape from the city alive, they have already done everything.

The [-] Song Army completed self-destruction in this state of collapse, which belonged to the bombing camp.

However, at this moment, there is no military force of any peasant army to attack them.

When the news was sent to Xu Tong by the peasant army sentry, Xu Tong couldn't help but think of the previous battle that Zhao Yucheng had against Shao Hongyuan.

It is also the use of the opponent's emotions and the harsh environment within the army to take action, but I didn't expect to be able to defeat an army by gossip.

As a result, he further confirmed the description of the Song army and the army of all oppressive regimes written by Su Yonglin in the internal training materials of the Renaissance Society.

Born from oppression, we will die from oppression, not only oppressing the ruled, but also oppressing ourselves, layer upon layer oppression, layer upon layer exploitation, all the time in the midst of fierce oppression and anti-oppression movements, so that we must use the right measures against the bottom. The plunder of the weak to soothe the tension within the army.

But can this last long?

Of course not.

Because there is no common emotional bond and value identity that transcends everything, regional factions will naturally appear within the army, divided by the county, state capital and other regions of origin.

Or there will be factions with different political backgrounds, such as Zhang Jun's faction, such as Yue Fei's faction, such as Han Shizhong's faction, such as Liu Guangshi's faction, etc...

Political factions and regional factions will also spawn various factions, large and small, tearing apart a complete army.

Regional conflicts and political conflicts will flood the entire army. There is a long-term lack of mutual trust, warmth, and true friendship in war within the army. There is no emotional bond between each other, and they are in a state of mutual defense and mutual opposition.

In peacetime, for material rationing, military salaries, and various benefits, they would fight openly and secretly, slamming tables and slamming benches to embarrass each other.

And when it comes to the critical war period, the various contradictions accumulated in peacetime often lead to total outbreaks on the high-pressure battlefield.

They will self-destruct before the enemy can actually attack, making them laughable.

Why was the Song army always defeated with a superior force and suffered heavy casualties?

It's not because the Song army can't fight, but the fierce internal conflicts have worn out their combat effectiveness. When they need to face the enemy, they have no strength.

The hatred of the internal enemy surpasses the hatred of the external enemy, and they are even willing to sell their companions to the enemy, and use the enemy's hand to destroy the "enemy" that the political line does not deal with.

Can such an army win a war?
joke.

Xu Tong confirmed the correctness of Su Yonglin's statement through the actual case that happened in front of him, and realized how valuable the bonds established by class emotion among the peasant army groups are.

Through extremely simple class feelings, even a soldier who has not been exposed to the theoretical knowledge of the Renaissance can feel this true friendship, which makes the peasant army have mutual trust and warmth that the Song army will never have.

Even if they come from different regions, even if they speak with different accents, even if there are big differences in living habits, etc., everyone has a common highest identity.

Anti-oppression, anti-exploitation.

They belong to the same fighter against oppression and exploitation. Since they have the same goal, this goal can transcend all differences and unite all people tightly.

Therefore, the peasant army can go forward, entrust its back to its comrades on the battlefield, absolutely trust each other, cooperate with each other to fight, and wholeheartedly think about achieving the final strategic goal, regardless of the interests of individuals and small units.

They will be oriented with the overall interests as the highest priority.

Song Jun, on the other hand, was always worried about being killed by his teammates. When he went to the battlefield, he had to face two enemies, one was the peasant army and the other was his own.

Where is the reason not to fail?

"The demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, the chairman has long foreseen, all we have done is to speed up the process."

Xu Tong closed the revival training materials and books he was holding, stood up, and gave new instructions.

"Let's move forward. Although the number of Wuchang Song troops is large, it is impossible to stop us. We will win this battle."

Xu Tong gave an order, and the peasant army of less than [-] resolutely advanced to Wuchang.

When they arrived in Wuchang, it was already dawn on March 22. At this moment, the city of Wuchang was in a mess, thick smoke billowed everywhere, and corpses littered the fields as far as they could see.

Xu Tong seemed to be late, not in time for the most intense battle.

However, after they entered Wuchang City to start a search, they encountered a seriously injured Song Army officer somewhere in the city with more than a dozen bruised subordinates.

After seeing the peasant army, the Song army officer put down his arms and surrendered, and asked to see their superiors, and then revealed that he belonged to the Skynet Army and was a member of the Renaissance.

"I am a member of the Zhejiang and Zhejiang branches of the Renaissance Association, and it has been three years since I joined the association."

"Are you a revival member?"

When Xu Tong heard that he was a member of Fuxing, he was very surprised. He immediately stepped forward to hold his hand, and then called for a military hygienist to help him bandage the wound and try to save him.

However, his wound was too deep and bleeding too much, and he was already weak. The hygienist reluctantly bandaged his wound, then looked at Xu Tong and shook his head.

"The wound is too deep, and there is nothing I can do unless it is sent back to the rear immediately."

He didn't seem to have any regrets about such an ending. Looking at Xu Tong with a complicated expression, he was only slightly emotional.

"When we decided to cause turmoil in Wuchang City, we thought it would end like this, but we will not regret it. With the four of us leading a team of more than 200 people, we can destroy [-] Song troops. The deal is too good, hahahaha..."

He smiled reassuringly.

Xu Tong quickly asked: "Are there three other people? Are they also members of the Renaissance? Where are they?"

He shook his head.

"They are all members of the revival. As for where... I don't know, we acted separately, and finally bombed the camp. It was too chaotic..."

Xu Tong was in a complicated mood and held his hand tightly.

"I'm sorry, comrade, I'm too late."

He shook his head.

"I'm sorry? We are very happy to know that Ezhou was breached by you. We all want to wait for you to come. We should cooperate with each other and kill one another. Who would have thought that the rubbish main general would actually escape, and if we don't seize this great opportunity, we will be terrified. We will really regret it.

Isn't it fine now?There was no loss in the army, and we could continue to fight. With just a few of us and my subordinates, a few hundred people, the [-] Song army was tossed away, and more comrades were saved from casualties... We... we are considered to be Did you do it? "

Xu Tong held his hand tightly and nodded firmly.

"I will ask for credit for you, military merit, and the interior of the Revival Society will also ask for credit for you. Everything you have done will definitely be commended, you can rest assured!"

"That's fine, that's fine..."

He nodded, then shifted his gaze to the dozen or so subordinates surrounding him.

"Comrade...they, they don't know my identity, but...have been willing to follow me to death...please don't embarrass them, let them go home, this is me...I..."

He couldn't finish his words, but Xu Tong knew what he wanted to say.

A dozen subordinates around him cried bitterly around him, unable to get up for a long time.

Seeing all this with his own eyes, Xu Tong couldn't help feeling sad, rubbed his eyes, and sighed.

Until this time, Xu Tong remembered that he never asked his name.
