From Soldier To Emperor - Chapter 421

The Tubao fortresses fell rapidly one after another. In addition to the spread of the news that the Ming Army’s artillery could “destroy the heavens and destroy the earth,” it quickly caused widespread panic among the Han and Yang Jiajun.

Han Jiajun and Yang Jiajun were not gathered in one place, but scattered throughout the defense line. A few stayed in the rear of Sichuan to collect grain and grass.

The treasury of the Southern Song Dynasty court has long been empty. Now, apart from the ordnance, the ordinary grain and grass are basically collected on the spot in Sichuan. Among them, there are donations from the wealthy and gentry, and Han and Yang are also from the hands of the local people.’ Borrowed.

This is the war of the feudal era. If we do not collect grain and grass on the spot, the productive forces of the feudal era cannot support the long-term battles of the army.

Therefore, wars in the feudal era were often confined to densely populated areas, and the desolate areas would put great pressure on the logistics of the army.

In the history of the earth, the reason why farming civilization in the cold weapon era could not completely eradicate the threat of nomadic tribes is because of logistical problems.

When the farming civilization emerged, nomadic tribes could not hide in the depths of the prairie. The army of farming civilization was very laborious just to walk past. The nomadic tribes only needed to pay very little effort to disrupt the logistic route of the farming civilization. Defeat the army of farming civilization deep into the prairie!

It is a common phenomenon that the prairie is uninhabited for thousands of miles. If it is not possible to collect grain and grass on the spot, it is easy to be cut off and logistics…

The Southern Song Dynasty court was able to establish the Sichuan defense line, and the Sichuan Basin, a country of abundance, was indispensable. More than 80% of the grain and grass were provided by Sichuan people!

If you don’t provide it, you can’t do it. The army won’t make sense. What’s more, they ask for food under the orders of the court.

Therefore, as the time of the war continues, the ordinary people in Sichuan have been increasingly looking forward to the arrival of the king of the Ming army…

Because the Southern Song Dynasty impoverished by the war, the court no longer cared about face, and the lives of the people in Sichuan were getting more and more bitter…

With Han Jiajun and Yang Jiajun guarding them, the ordinary people in Sichuan can’t do it even if they want to break out a peasant uprising, they will be suppressed at the beginning of the incident!

In fact, Han Jiajun and Yang Jiajun have suppressed no fewer than ten popular riots caused by “borrowing grain.”

Of course, it was just a riot in the official statement, but in the eyes of the local people, it really spared their lives, holding a **** and fighting with the regular army…

The result is self-evident. In addition to giving away the head, even the fur of Han Jiajun and Yang Jiajun could not be injured.

This kind of unorganized, undisciplined and even ideal peasant riots is easier for the regular army than the bandits!

However, the riots were useless, and the Southern Song Dynasty completely lost popular support.

When news of unfavorable front lines continued to be returned, the number of riots among the people in Sichuan became more frequent!

Because Han Shizhong and Yang Ye ordered the soldiers to ravage the village in order to stabilize the army!

The morale of the soldiers has been pulled back. The idea of ​​the big soldiers is very simple. The boss allowed himself to let go and grabbed the benefits. He also enjoyed the free women. Naturally, he would pay homage to the boss and fight for him.

But the common people are suffering. It’s a pity that their strength is too weak to resist…

Resistance is death!

Han Jiajun and Yang Jiajun are the Hakka troops, but they don’t care about the life and death of the people in Sichuan…

However, the fact that the military spirit is stabilized does not mean that it can stop Richard’s unicorn siege artillery.

Although there are only two unicorn siege cannons, the deterrent effect on the Song Army far exceeds 30 6-pounder cavalry guns!

As time went on, the frontline fortresses even appeared. As long as they were shelled by unicorn siege artillery, they would immediately surrender!

In this way, the entire Sichuan defense line collapsed under the noses of Han Shizhong and Yang Ye!

Han Shizhong and Yang Ye withdrew their direct line troops one after another, leaving the miscellaneous troops in the front to resist Richard and delaying time.

Richard was also at ease, siege the city slowly all the way, and collected a large number of miscellaneous Song troops along the way!

Soon, Richard, who entered the boundary of Sichuan, learned how unpopular the Song Army was here in Sichuan. The reason why the guarding Song Army surrendered so actively was because many of the soldiers of the miscellaneous army were natives of Sichuan!

This was easy. Richard, who was familiar with political routines, quickly belittled the Song army and sent people everywhere to preach that the Ming army had no offense and that he was a true king. He also called on the people of Sichuan to join the newly formed Sichuan army and attack the Song army for revenge. avenge!

Those prisoners of war are the newly formed Sichuan Army skeleton!

Richard once again selected a group from the students who graduated from the military academies later, and directly parachuted into the middle and high-ranking officers of the Sichuan Army to control the command!

With the prisoners of war and Sichuan Qingzhuang who had been bullied by Han Jiajun and Yang Jiajun, Richard quickly pulled up a Sichuan army of tens of thousands, and this number became more and more as the Ming army penetrated into Sichuan!

Due to the ‘fear of light’, both Han and Yang Jiajun were huddled in a big city with strong city defenses. The vast countryside was so handed over to Richard’s Ming army, which made it easier for Richard to expand the Sichuan army.

A large number of Sichuan youths joined the Sichuan army with a vengeful attitude. When the Han and Yang Jiajun suppressed the peasant riots, they did not kill people less, and naturally accumulated a large number of enemies.

Of course, Richard has to give these enemies room to play.

As a result, the entire Sichuan defense line fell apart, leaving only the big city controlled by Han and Yang.

It’s not that Han Shizhong and Yang Ye didn’t want to run, but the Southern Song Dynasty court gave the order to die. They were dead if they ran!

The logistics of Han Jiajun and Yang Jiajun are in the hands of the Southern Song Dynasty court. Without the support of the Southern Song Dynasty court, the hearts of Han Jiajun and Yang Jiajun are scattered!

After all, Han Shizhong and Yang Ye are not Yue Fei, and they don’t have such great personal prestige to maintain the unity of Han Jiajun and Yang Jiajun. At best, they can only guarantee that their direct lineages will not leave.

After seeing that the Sichuan Army had expanded to more than 50,000 people, Richard immediately opened the prelude to attacking the Han and Yang Army’s garrison in Jiancheng~www.mtlnovel.com~ Because there were too many Sichuan troops, Richard was afraid that he would overwhelm his logistics…

Today, the Ming army is not offended by the autumn. The Sichuan army is supported by the money and food obtained by the local tyrants. The arrival of Richard Li naturally also brought the land equalization order. Otherwise, the ordinary people in Sichuan would not support the Ming army in this way…

But the local tyrants are all quick money, and they will be gone after the fight. In addition, the local tyrants and squires in Sichuan are not stupid. Seeing that Richard came, most of them ran away with floating wealth…

Although the land cannot be taken away, the land cannot be transformed into food immediately.

Therefore, Richard’s harvest could not support the tens of thousands of troops to eat and drink Lazar for too long.

Li Cha organized the artillery team together to form a special siege brigade. The Sichuan army naturally became the main infantry in the siege, and the cavalry served as field scouts and perimeter guards.
