Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

When the sky was getting dark, 150,000 "rebels" had already set off!

These rebels are ordinary people. When they were in the village in the past, they would go out to work before dawn, so now they don't feel much tired, and everyone is full of energy!

However, the team of the rebels was extremely chaotic! It took only ten days for these rebels to form. They were restrained by the elders, altar masters, and incense masters of the White Lotus Sect. ! Moreover, these rebels have not received 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. Among the 150,000 troops, only 10,000 have swords and other weapons, and even more people are holding 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 masters, and incense masters to Chengdu, preparing to "make money"!

There was chaos in the team, and voices were everywhere! It's like there are countless flies buzzing and screaming!

"Old Liu, how is your family's harvest this year?" A rebel soldier in his 60s and another rebel soldier in his 70s stood together. Both of them were thin and wrinkled. arms! Each of them held a cigarette pouch, chatting while smoking!

"This year's harvest is slightly better than last year's! But this year's rent is more than last year, and 80% of the rent has been given to Mrs. Hong! When the spring of next year, I will do some part-time work for Mrs. Hong's family to earn more money." Some money! I have carpentry skills, at least I can make up for the family!" Yi Jun, who is over seventy years old, said.

"Isn't it now that we have entered the prosperous age of white lotus? Everyone doesn't have to work, everyone has food to eat, and they don't have to go hungry anymore! If this is the case, why bother to do carpentry for Mrs. Hong's house?" said a volunteer in his sixties. There was a sound of surprise.

"What is the White Lotus Prosperity? Even if we enter the White Lotus Prosperity, Mrs. Hong is still the altar master, and we are also his subordinates, so we still have to listen to him! I don't think it is much different from before, or even worse than before! If it wasn't for five taels of gold, I would I won’t join the rebel army either, go to Chengdu!” said the rebel army in his seventies.

Although Yang Mo promised a lot of rewards, including ordinary rebels, if they entered Chengdu, everyone would have a hundred taels of gold, but the elders, altar masters, and incense masters were deducted layer by layer, and only ordinary rebels left in the hands of ordinary rebels. "Five taels of gold"! And this is just a promise, no one knows if it can be fulfilled!

"You said, if we go to Chengdu, will there be any danger?" Yi Jun, who is in his sixties, asked.

"With so many of us, what's the danger? Those lads are rushing forward, they have sticks in their hands, so we don't need old men to fight!" said the volunteer in his seventies.

"Brother is right!" The volunteer in his sixties nodded.

Among the 150,000 rebels, one-fifth were over fifty years old, and one-fifth were under fifteen years old! Many rebels were only eight or nine years old, and they were brought by their fathers to earn five taels of gold! There are still many disabled people in the rebel army, as for those who are malnourished and weak, they are all here for 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 got separated from their own team while walking, so they joined another team and looked for fellow villagers in another team. The team was chaotic, but no one cared about it! Those elders, altar masters, and incense masters are only fantasizing about getting promoted and making a fortune after conquering Chengdu. Who cares about the "untouchables" below?

Looking at the 150,000 rebels below heading south, Yang Mo had an excited expression on his face!

Zhong Xiang stood aside, but his brows were furrowed.

"Master, are you dissatisfied?" Yang Mo asked.

"These are not rebels at all! They're just a group of rioters! They can't even compare to real rioters!" Zhong Xiang gritted his teeth and said.

Throughout the dynasties, those real rioters were unable to survive because they had no food or drink, and they rebelled against the imperial court driven by their hunger instinct! Although they are not organized, they can't survive anyway, and their sense of resistance is extremely high, so thousands of people gather together, and they have a certain combat power. If they reach hundreds of thousands or millions, they will form a refugee team, like locusts When crossing the border, officers and soldiers dare not provoke them easily! But the 150,000 rebels under him are not like this at all. Everyone is here for rewards. If everything goes well, they will naturally win. If they encounter a little adversity, the rebels will collapse immediately!

Zhong Xiang is a famous peasant uprising leader in history, with extraordinary insight! He has seen the officers and soldiers of the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Jurchen army, and even the new Song army under Zhao Chen! However, he had to admit that even the officers and soldiers of the late Northern Song Dynasty with the worst combat effectiveness were much stronger than the rebel army in front of him!

"Master, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are causing chaos in various places. Chengdu Mansion is extremely empty! After our army of 150,000 arrives, we will definitely be able to conquer Chengdu Mansion!" Yang Mo said.

"That's right! 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 Zhao Chen, Zhao Gou, and the Jurchen until I win the world , become the emperor!" Zhong Xiang nodded and said!

"It's a pity that the Propaganda Department 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, we don't have to worry about the officers and soldiers of the court at this time!" Yang Mo said.

"That's right! This Propaganda Department is extremely powerful. After I get Sichuan and Shu, I have to learn the methods of Emperor Xuanwu!" Zhong Xiang said.

*** ***

The army moved forward slowly, they were still walking the way of the golden bull!

At the beginning, the speed of the team was pretty fast!

But at noon, the speed of the team became slower and slower, especially those old men in their sixties and seventies and children in their eighties and nines. They had already fallen behind!

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

After an hour, Zhong Xiangyang ordered the army to set off again! However, the soldiers in the army complained so much that few people stood up! Dozens of altar masters and incense masters also stepped forward one after another, saying that they did not want to continue on their way! Many of these altar owners and incense owners were from officials and gentry, and they were spoiled and spoiled since they were young. How could they have suffered such hardships!

Zhong Xiang was very angry, but he had no choice but to order the army to continue to rest!

On the morning of August 27, the army of 150,000 set off again!

In this way, they walked for a whole morning every day, and began to rest at noon!

On the first day of September, they came to Lutou Pass! This is an important pass on Jinniu Road, but now it is empty, and 150,000 rebels have successfully occupied Lutou Pass!

"Master, all the imperial court's garrison has been withdrawn! 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 is not afraid of us? This little Lutouguan used to have only a garrison of more than 500 people! Do their 500 people dare to fight a decisive battle with our 150,000 people?" Zhong Xiang laughed out loud!

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

On the fifth day of September, they arrived at Jingyang Station, where there was still no imperial garrison! Rebels surprise again!

Until the tenth day of September, they came to Jinyan Station, an important stronghold on Jinniu Road! It's still empty here, but the rebels are not as excited as before!

After several days of rushing, the rebel soldiers were really exhausted! Not to mention those old men in their 60s and 70s, even some young men in their prime are unwilling 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, an army rushed out from nowhere! The rebels don't even know how many people there are in this army!

Most of the people in the south are young and middle-aged, and these young and middle-aged are sleeping soundly, and the sky is already raining arrows!

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

"It's not good! The officers and soldiers of the imperial court are here! Retreat quickly!"

"There are so many officers and soldiers in the imperial court, and countless people have died! If you don't retreat, it will be too late!"

"Back quickly!"

Yelling and yelling everywhere! The young and middle-aged men in the rebel army were extremely anxious! They were ordinary people, without any military training, and they were attacked by an army in their sleep in the middle of the night. Their reaction was very normal!

Then there was the sound of rumbling war drums in the distance!

The war drums roared, as if thousands of people were beating the drums!

Every drumbeat seemed to strike people's hearts. At this time, all the rebel soldiers were awakened! Countless rebels retreated towards the north in fear!

Zhong Xiang and Yang Mo have also woken up, and they are both shocked 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 north, and shouted immediately!

However, there was a great chaos around, and these elders didn't hear what he was doing at all! The surrounding rebels were retreating frantically, these elders were afraid of falling behind others, so naturally they also retreated together!

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

"Tan Master Xue, Tan Master Li, Master Qian Xiang! Quickly restrain your subordinates!" Yang Mo said loudly when he saw a few more people rushing forward.

"Damn it! The imperial army is there, how to restrain the army? We are going to die, you let us restrain the army!" A incense master yelled at Yang Mo!

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

"I'm a man with a family and a business! I'm so blind to follow you evil sects! Now that the imperial army is here, what should I do?" The incense master looked terrified!

"Master? What should I do?" Yang Mo looked at Zhong Xiang and asked in horror.

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

Yang Mo nodded, that's all he can do now!
