Chapter 318 Hong Xiuquan
Xunzhou, the resident of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Compared with several other peasant uprisings, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement led by Hong Xiuquan is full of talents. In the early days of the uprising, there were five core members, Yang Xiuqing, Feng Yunshan, Xiao Chaogui, Wei Changhui, and Shi Dakai. Among the five, Shi Dakai was the most capable of fighting, and he was a rare general with illustrious military exploits.
The ending of the five people is not the same.
Feng Yunshan and Xiao Chaogui were killed in the early days of the uprising. In the middle of the uprising, Yang Xiuqing took credit for himself and was killed by Wei Changhui. Soon, Wei Changhui was executed by Hong Xiuquan again.
The only surviving Shi Dakai, because of Hong Xiuquan's suspicion, ran away in anger and led his men to fight independently. But because they were far away from the base area, they could not escape the end of destruction in the end.
In addition to the five core members, there are also generals such as Tianguan Lin Fengxiang, local official Li Kaifang, spring official Hu Yihuang, summer official Lai Hanying, autumn official Zeng Lichang, and winter official Xu Zongyang.
In the middle and late stages of the uprising, a group of young generals such as Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng emerged in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Among them, Li Xiucheng was the most outstanding.
According to Gaia's setting, after the leader of the rebel army appears in the wilderness, the core members who followed him throughout the uprising process will appear together.
Of course, memories of those unpleasant experiences, such as suspicion and betrayal, arrogance and prejudice, and so on, have been erased by the omnipotent God Gaia.
The uprising group that had just appeared in the wilderness seemed to have been formatted, united as one, united as one.
Their goal is to establish an ideal country in the wilderness.
Therefore, as soon as Hong Xiuquan appeared in the wilderness, he had more than a dozen generals by his side, which is chilling to think about; coupled with his almost bug-like skills in recruiting refugees, he gathered more than 3,000 refugees in less than five days .
Because of Hong Xiuquan's appearance, the lords in the Xunzhou area found out inexplicably that the number of refugees who refreshed their territory in the past few days has decreased a lot compared to usual, and they were actually hooked up by Hong Xiuquan.
With three thousand refugees, Hong Xiuquan had the confidence to gain a foothold in the wilderness.
For the rebel army group, it is natural that all the people are soldiers.
More than a dozen generals, one officer and one deputy, organized the three thousand refugees into six refugee battalions based on the battalion. The generals seized the time to conduct some simple military training on the refugees.
The next step is to take down a player territory and establish a base.
The player territory in the wilderness has not been eliminated so far. The minimum is a third-level township, with a population limit of 10,000. The territories that are better mixed have all been promoted to first-level county towns, with a population limit of 20,000.
Coupled with the subsidiary territory, it will be even more impressive.
The rebel army wanted to take down a player's territory with 3,000 refugees, which was tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble. Not to mention the strong city built in the territory, just relying on the hoes and kitchen knives in the hands of the refugees to head-to-head with the regular army is courting death.
Historically, the insurgents were able to win, basically relying on crowd tactics. There are very few cases where the less wins the more and the weak wins the strong.
But Hong Xiuquan had no choice but to take the risk.
The recruited refugees were, to put it bluntly, a swarm of locusts. Without a base, they were unable to produce food, and the rations they carried were too small, and they would starve to death within a few days.
Fortunately, being a refugee gave the rebel army the best cover.
As the leader of the rebel army, Hong Xiuquan is still very capable. After several days of investigation, he selected a suitable territory and was ready to start the next day.
Early in the morning, Hong Xiuquan arranged for Shi Dakai to lead a battalion, disguised as reformed refugees, and walked towards the city gate in a grand manner. The city gate guards saw that the visitors were all ragged refugees. Although the number was a bit wrong, they didn't care too much. After all, the number of refugees that came out in the past few days was irregular. Suddenly there were hundreds more people, and no one Don't care, let this group of refugees into the city carelessly.
As soon as he entered the city, Shi Dakai seized the opportunity and led his troops to launch a surprise attack while the guards were negligent.
The army ambushing outside the city, seeing the success of the first battalion, immediately swarmed out and entered the city quickly.
Seeing the army entering the city, Shi Dakai made a decisive decision, collected the weapons left by the city gate guards, and led his troops towards the arsenal in the city. He knew very well that the main army in the city was stationed in the barracks, and if the other party had recovered, three thousand refugees with extremely poor equipment would not be able to resist the enemy's counterattack.
For the current plan, only by winning the arsenal can there be a chance of winning.
The generals are busy occupying key points everywhere, preparing to resist the enemy. As the leader, Hong Xiuquan was not idle, and he used his housekeeping skills to spread the worship of God in the enemy's city and recruit congregants on the spot.
The territory chosen by Hong Xiuquan was not well received by the people, and the lord expropriated it violently, causing public grievances everywhere. After being lured by Hong Xiuquan, a large number of people immediately responded and joined the uprising army.
With such a two-pronged approach, victory is finally in sight.
Shi Dakai led his troops, and after suffering heavy casualties, he finally succeeded in taking down the arsenal.
A group of refugees rushed into the arsenal noisily, regardless of the cheers, and took whatever weapons they saw, anyway, they didn't know how to use them, as long as they were stronger than a hoe and a kitchen knife, and the armor was put on randomly.
After the equipment was completed, the refugees, led by the captain, formed an formation outside the arsenal, ready to meet the enemy.
After such a delay, the regular army in the barracks finally mobilized and rushed towards the rebel army.
There are more than a thousand regular troops in the third-tier towns and towns. They are well-equipped and have received formal military training. If the opponent was just three thousand ordinary refugees, it would be no problem for the regular army to take them down.
It's a pity that these three thousand refugees are led by more than a dozen elite generals, among them are generals like Shi Dakai and Li Xiucheng, the outcome is really unpredictable.
With the blessing of the characteristics of the generals and generals, the combat effectiveness of the rebel army soared.
In addition, Hong Xiuquan was truly terrifying. All the refugees he inspired were fanatical believers, fearless of death. Therefore, the morale of the rebel army was quite strong at that time, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
The war is about to start.
At this time, there are no tactics at all, only head-to-head.
In the fierce battle, the two sides were evenly matched. Every moment, someone fell down, and the scene was extremely tragic.
At this moment, Hong Xiuquan, the Great Demon King, came!
Behind him, followed by a mighty army of civilians. In less than an hour, Hong Xiuquan had already inspired more than a thousand people to join the God Worship Association. His terrifying brainwashing ability was really terrifying.
Hong Xiuquan in the early days of the uprising was awe-inspiring.
Hong Xiuquan went directly to the center of the battle, braved the rain of arrows, and appealed to the regular army on the spot, bewitching them to put down their weapons and join the uprising army, to seek prosperity and create a great cause together.
His voice is full of magic power, which can make people enchanted without knowing it!
His movements are full of power and make people full of hope!
He, the messenger sent by God, came to the world specially to save the suffering brothers!
After being bewitched by Hong Xiuquan, coupled with the stalemate in the battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties, some regular soldiers really lost the desire to continue fighting, and stayed where they were, motionless.
Compared with ordinary soldiers, officers are much more sober. They have vested interests and are not bewitched by Hong Xiuquan. The officers tried to organize the army, shouting loudly, ordering the soldiers to continue fighting.
Unfortunately, Hong Xiuquan is too buggy!
The regular army was like dominoes, more and more soldiers were bewitched by Hong Xiuquan, the officers were powerless, no matter what they shouted, the soldiers just stood still, like puppets.
Shi Dakai and his generals are also powerful. They ignore the soldiers who are standing still and attack the soldiers who are still stubbornly resisting.
As a result, the situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse.
As time went by, those soldiers who were bewitched by Hong Xiuquan looked at the officers with inexplicable strangeness. The officers were stared at by the soldiers, and their hearts trembled.
Experienced military officers already knew that the general situation was over, and if the soldiers were forced to fight again, a mutiny might be imminent. Until then, it will be these officers who will fall.
There are those clever officers who can also be said to have no integrity. Although they were not bewitched by Hong Xiuquan, they still wisely chose to surrender and join the rebel army.
So far, the rebel army has completely established the victory.
The lord of the territory is a middle-aged man. He has been staying in the lord's mansion. When he learned that the regular army was defeated, he smiled bitterly.
In the early days of the uprising, there were still a handful of lords who could put up their face and join the uprising army. Most of the lords still have integrity, and they don't want to stay under the hands of NPCs.
The fall of the territory meant that the Taiping Rebel Army had officially gained a foothold in Xunzhou.
For the rebel army, there is no big problem in governing a place. The people in the territory did not reject the rebel army so much, and everything was developing in a good direction.
Not surprisingly, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebel army should be the first rebel army to take down the player's territory among the four rebel armies, officially announcing the arrival of the expansion pack "Rising from the Rods".
Hong Xiuquan showed his invincible charm in the wilderness for the first time. With only a three-inch tongue, he disintegrated the resistance will of a thousand regular troops. No one believed it when he said it, but it was indeed the truth.
The scene of the evacuated lord's happening in the territory was revealed on the forum, causing an uproar among the lord group.
The terror of the rebel army made the lord feel that a big change is coming!
Some lords in Xunzhou are in danger, for fear that when they wake up, there will be a dense army of rebels standing outside the city.
There are also some lords who have learned their lessons and started to improvise to improve the livelihood of the people in the territory and improve the hearts of the people.
As for whether it will be too late, only God knows!
