Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

At least half of these twenty cities were conquered by him!

Such an army is simply shocking!

It should be noted that in a siege, the defenders have the absolute advantage by relying on the city walls, fortifications, and supplies. As the art of war says, if your force is ten times yours, surround it; if it is five times yours, attack it; if it is twice yours, divide it.

If you want to capture a city, unless it is surrendered, it is normally impossible to do it in a short period of time.

Not to mention anything else, just building the siege equipment would take more than half a day, right?

Even without mentioning the various restrictions, it is too outrageous that they were able to capture the city with only 5,000 elite soldiers!

If we say that 5,000 elite soldiers are invincible in field battles, although this result is still terrible, it is barely acceptable. However, being invincible in attacking a city is really beyond people's imagination!

Not to mention, the commander of this sharp army is a woman!

In the space of half a month, such remarkable achievements had been made that the legend of a celestial being and goddess descending from the sky became widespread, with such certainty that countless people were terrified and panicked!

Chapter 478: The noble families, landlords, and powerful people in various places were shocked!

Since the Jiangnan Uprising, the rebel army has been attracting worldwide attention!

At first, when the riot swept across most of Jiangnan, people thought it was very powerful and had a wide impact, but in the final analysis, they only regarded this riot as a short-term turmoil and chaos. It was just that the court did not pay enough attention to the south, and the discipline of the garrison troops in various parts of Jiangnan was lax or even corrupt, and their combat effectiveness was only one tenth of what it was. The local governments were completely unprepared for this, so the rebel army took advantage of the situation and attacked here.

At that time, people's perception of the rebels was mostly negative. Ordinary people did not know the details of the rebels. They only heard that Jiangnan was repeatedly conquered and occupied by a group of rebels. By the time the news reached their ears, it had been processed through layers of processing and had long been distorted. Some said that the rebels burned, killed and looted, some said that the rebels plundered the local area, and some said that they harmed the people. Some even said that the rebels would massacre the city wherever they went, killing people and causing rivers of blood. The common people were terrified and horrified when they heard about it. The nobles, powerful people, and landlords who were more well-informed and had more channels knew more details, but these details would not change their views on the rebels compared to the common people. Instead, they were shocked and angry!

Because the people the rebels killed and the rivers of blood they shed were precisely them! !

As for the so-called detailed distinctions between crimes, they were completely oblivious, or if they did, they were even more enraged! They were horrified! These peasant rebels were actually going to confiscate all the wealth and land accumulated by their generations, list their so-called crimes, and judge them like the government. They were even going to kill them, or at least imprison and enslave them. This was simply too much!

Is there still justice? Is there still law?

How can this be allowed!

Letting a bunch of peasants ride on their heads and bully others into submission is more painful than killing them!

Because of these reasons, most of the local nobles and powerful people deeply disliked the rebel army. Although they still looked down on this group of peasants, they were all looking forward to the imperial army marching south to suppress this rebellion of rebels!

after all......

They were also afraid that this group of thugs would plunder everywhere and affect them. Not to mention anything else, most of the Jiangnan area had been occupied, and the rebel army would have to take with them countless refugees, the destitute, and young and strong people. By then, their size would snowball like a swarm of locusts, inevitably causing unrest in the surrounding areas. To put it bluntly, if they really ran out of Jiangnan, they would be the ones threatened!

Naturally, they hope that the imperial court can pacify Jiangnan as soon as possible and restore everything to its original state. More likely, they can reap huge benefits in Jiangnan!

No matter what, the rebel army plundered the wealth of most of the wealthy landlords. Those physical gold and silver treasures would most likely be eaten by the army that suppressed the rebellion, but the real big money would be the things that could not be taken away from the Jiangnan area!

For example, the unowned land, the vacant local positions...

Wherever the rebel army affected, they not only targeted the local noble families, powerful people, and landlords, but also the government officials. Most of the officials in Jiangnan were removed from office. If they could take over some of the vacancies left behind and get some important positions and tasks, then their family power would undoubtedly be further enhanced!

Many people, seeing this possibility and opportunity, have begun to take action! They are sharpening their knives! They are determined to grab more benefits from this upcoming feast!

However......

All these perceptions, speculations, and predictions were shattered in the following month!

In their eyes, they were just a bunch of mud-legged ants and a mob of thieves. It took them one month to sweep across most of Jiangnan, and another month to capture all of Jiangnan!

In just two months, the entire Jiangnan region was captured by the rebel army!

At that time, no one had expected things to develop like this!

Many people were confused!

According to their calculations, other Jiangnan prefectures and cities that were on guard would be able to hold out the rebels for a while. Not to mention a year or two, at least a few months, right?

Just hold on for two or three months, and when the imperial army marches south to suppress the rebellion, everything will be settled!

But unexpectedly, in just another month, the remaining places were also captured!

Are all the officials in Jiangnan region useless and useless?!

He hurled such insults in anger, but when he calmed down and reviewed the situation carefully, he was horrified to find that perhaps it was not that the Jiangnan government was too incompetent, but that the rebels were too terrifying!

This group of chaotic troops is extremely powerful! Their military strength is extremely strong!

The troops from all over the country probably can't stop them.

We can only hope that the imperial court will respond quickly and mobilize the army to move south as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be unimaginable if they really grow bigger and take root!

Not only was a piece of the essence of the essence scraped off from the heart of the Song Dynasty, but those in the surrounding areas would also face huge threats and risks at any time!

With this sense of crisis, like a thorn in the throat, all the aristocratic families and landlords were on guard! They either recruited young and strong men to strengthen their forces, or withdrew their forces to prepare for the worst...

Without exception, they all used their connections to pass on intelligence about Jiangnan to the court, earnestly, even urgently hoping that the court would respond as soon as possible! If it weren't for the majesty of the court, they would have almost been unable to help but rush to the toilet!

tmd

Hurry up!!

However, news soon arrived that caught them even more off guard: the rebels, having just occupied Jiangnan, could not wait to divide their forces into six routes to attack the surrounding areas! Liangzhe, Jinghu, Fujian, Kuizhou...

Such a large-scale military mobilization was naturally difficult to conceal from the surrounding areas. In addition, the rebels had changed their style for some reason and no longer set up many obstacles as before, so that many local forces in the surrounding areas learned the intelligence information relatively quickly.

But at that moment, no one had the heart to think about why the rebels were so unguarded. They were all shocked by their extremely daring military actions, and then they were filled with all kinds of complicated emotions, some were astonished, some were disdainful, some were horrified, and some were terrified!

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 479: There's something wrong with this rebel army! Could they be heavenly soldiers and generals?

I was stunned and disdainful of the rebels' audacity. Did they think they could conquer the world just by seizing the land south of the Yangtze River?!

It's not that they look down on the military strength of the rebels. With the example of Jiangnan before them, most of them dare not underestimate the rebels. If the rebels' military action is to focus on one route, they will also worry that that place will be swallowed up by the rebels. However, dividing the troops into six routes and involving such a wide area at the same time is simply a way to death in their view!

Not to mention the manpower, can the rebel army maintain its fighting power? Just imagine how much manpower and material resources would be consumed to maintain the supply of food, weapons, and materials for the six armies!?

Such a huge military action would require the imperial court to be extremely cautious and it would be impossible for them to make such a bold and reckless decision. Even if the military strategy was determined, it would have to be prepared and deployed a year and a half in advance. This would be a large-scale action that would take a long time and require the efforts of the entire country. It involved all aspects and required the efforts of countless people. But what about the rebel army?

What does he 233 have?

Jiangnan Erlu is wealthy, but they shouldn't be so extravagant as to be exaggerated, right?

Besides, they had just captured Jiangnan, and it had already cost such a huge amount of money, mobilizing so many manpower and material resources. Could his rebel army do it?!

With only two months, the actual governing time is extremely short. It is still unknown whether the rebel army can mobilize manpower and materials from all over the country like the imperial court.

What a joke! ?

Even if we take a step back and say that the rebels really did it by force, aren't they afraid that by doing so they will exploit the people too much and cause them to riot again?

Aren’t you afraid of local unrest and unstable foundations?

Aren't you afraid that the six armies will fail on the front lines and their rule will completely collapse?!

Such a military strategy has too many fatal flaws!

Such an unwise and suicidal act naturally shocked and disdained many people.

They believed that the rebel army was no different from the previous bandits and ant thieves. Apart from their relatively strong military strength, all other aspects were a mess!

I'm afraid that if things continue like this, there won't even be any response from the imperial court. In half a month or a month, the rebel army will be in chaos, self-collapse, and die out!

Most people have predictions and judgments about this.

But while they were astonished and disdainful, they could not help but be shocked and frightened by the huge momentum of the rebel army attacking from six directions.

after all......

No matter what, whether the rebel army's move was unwise or a way to death, one fact cannot be denied, that is, the rebel army's military strength is extremely strong!

Dividing the troops into six groups to attack the surrounding areas will certainly cause great consumption to the internal forces, and will most likely drag down the fragile rebel forces, and self-collapse is very likely. However, those things exist at the same time as the threat of the six armies.

Once the army invades the surrounding areas, even if the rebel army in Jiangnan collapses, the huge threat will still exist, and may even become more terrifying and cause endless harm. Because once the ant bandits lose their rear supplies, they will definitely attack and plunder everything they can. Based on their usual performance, even if dividing the troops will weaken some of their combat effectiveness, can the garrison troops in various places really resist this group of rioters!?

And if it cannot be resisted, not to mention replicating the scene in Jiangnan, it will also cause great turmoil!

Many knowledgeable people feel deeply uneasy about this.

But what is helpless is that although the rebel army's move was brainless, the decisive attack just hit the lifeline of the imperial court.

Because it was impossible for the imperial army to be mobilized so quickly, it was obvious that there was a time difference.

In the next one or two months, or even several months, each region will need to deal with this huge threat on its own.

Things cannot be changed by human will. Realizing this situation, many noble families, landlords, and powerful forces had to obey their will and began to raise various materials to strengthen their own defense. At the same time, they also contributed a lot of money and manpower to help local governments build city defenses.

After all, no one wants to see the rebels plundering their own territory and then having their entire family arrested and put on trial.

Thus, in such a tense and vigilant atmosphere, the six armies of the rebel army entered the Liangzhe, Jinghu, Fujian and other places with such grandeur. Under the unbelievable gaze of everyone, in just about a month, they captured most of the land in each of these areas! The scene in Jiangnan at that time was unexpectedly reproduced and repeated!

Shock! Horror! Fear!

Everyone is completely confused!!

I don’t know why the rebels are so unreasonable!

According to normal calculations, this shouldn't be the case!

But the reality is that all their efforts turned into jokes in front of the rebel army! They had no effect at all!

Like an ant trying to shake a tree, it was crushed directly and turned into powder!

Such power was so terrifying that many people had no time to react at all and were completely captured by the rebels.

Public trials, an activity hated by all the noble families, landlords, and powerful people, were held everywhere. The scenes of counting crimes and either killing or punishing shocked everyone. The noble families were terrified, the landlords were panicked, and the powerful people trembled!

At this moment, many people realized that something was wrong!

This is really wrong!

Let’s not talk about how the rebels managed to accomplish all these incredible things!

Liangzhe, Jinghu, and Fujian are all easy to deal with, after all, they are connected to the second route of Jiangnan. Apart from the confusion of how the rebels advanced, the fact that Kuizhou Road was affected by the rebels really makes many people feel incredible.

Could this righteous army be heavenly soldiers and generals?

Flying across the Jinghu area, divine soldiers descended from the sky! ?

However, as time passed, various news came one after another, and people were shocked to discover belatedly that Zizhou Road and Chengdufu Road had also been occupied by the rebel army!

While everyone in the world was focused on the Jiangnan uprising, the two regions had already been quietly annexed! The flags on the city walls were flying!

The rebel forces that were dispatched to Kuizhou Road at this time were not from Jiangnan, but from Zizhou. Not only from Kuizhou Road, but also from Lizhou Road further north and Guangnan Road further south, seemed to have the movements of the rebel forces.

Chapter 480: Mentality Change! The First Wave of Large-Scale Surrenders!

At this time, the rebel army could no longer be limited to the south of the Song Dynasty, even the north began to be affected!

Especially in the western part of Huainan, the momentum of the rebel army is even greater!

Half a month passed like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and three quarters of the time had passed!

As the overall situation of the rebel army gradually became known to the world, everyone realized, or rather, without much effort, that when they mentally reviewed the territory currently occupied by the rebel army, they discovered an extremely shocking fact: the rebel army had now occupied most of the core lands of the south! They had also swallowed up the areas north and south of the Yangtze River! Their power was rapidly expanding from the heart of the Song Dynasty!

At this point, even the most arrogant people have to admit that the rebels have the power to sweep across the world and swallow up thousands of miles!

this is too scary!

Faced with such a terrifying army, everyone was terrified, but at the same time, the speculation that was deeply rooted in their bones began to rise rapidly.

In the past, the aristocratic families, landlords, and powerful forces, due to the political leanings of the rebels, were extremely disgusted, repulsive, and hostile, and very few were willing to take the initiative to contact them. But now...

Seeing that the entire south was about to be affected and occupied by the rebels, at this time, how could they have any room for consideration!?

Didn’t they see that those forces in front of them, who had the same power as them, were all imprisoned without any chance to react?

If you continue to hesitate, the rebel army will not tell you anything about the principles of scholar-officials ruling the world!

This is a shameless act and I have no choice but to obey the thief!

but......

It's true, once the mentality changes, the instinctive disgust stemming from class is suppressed, and a certain rationality gradually prevails.
