Chapter 189: [Encircling the Cities from the Countryside] The Upcoming Counter-Encirclement (5.2k Two-in-One)_3
No one expected to encounter that person under such circumstances.
Even more unexpected was that the enmity in the [Liaoshen Campaign] was actually a senior-junior relationship, which made sense now.
It's quite normal for a junior not to be able to defeat a senior.
Looking at the figure in the military coat from afar, both the Blue Star viewers in the livestream and the streamer Du Yong were nothing but excited.
What a big advantage!
Far better than the plot cards triggered by other streamers!
Although they triggered [plot cards], their roles were just small soldiers.
Du Yong, however, was different.
A junior!
This triggered [plot card] must be way easier to handle than for others, and the involvement level is much higher, because the starting point was already high!
As Du Yong continued to watch.
That person seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up.
Du Yong, caught off guard, met those cold, frost-like eyes, and couldn't help but feel his throat tighten, his heart race while trying to maintain a normal expression, turning his head to pretend it was an accidental gaze.
It wasn't until the cold gaze disappeared that Du Yong's racing heart finally calmed down.
What an oppressive feeling!
Hiss—!
Du Yong suddenly felt that he had to be cautious.
No reckless actions!
....
From the [Autumn Harvest Uprising] to the [Huangpu Military Academy], the continuous emergence of major plots and important figures added another wave of discussion heat to the [Awakening Era] DLC.
While the download numbers soared, netizens were also following these livestream channels.
At this moment.
As time passed.
After skipping the plot for over half a month in real life, several months had passed in the game, and Yang Lang finally awaited the start of the [Autumn Harvest Uprising].
Over a few months, Yang Lang's money had long been spent.
And to stay here, he didn't participate in the [Nanchang Uprising]. At this time, Yang Lang could only make a living by selling straw shoes. Fortunately, with the help of the Photon Supercomputer, anything woven from straw could be calculated.
Otherwise, Yang Lang might have starved here.
Although he hadn't gathered any useful information over these months, he did find some clues.
Stumbling along the way, he arrived at Baisha County.
Selling straw shoes here.
Until this day.
A cannon sound came from the east.
The city was filled with scenes of panic, while Yang Lang, holding a bunch of straw shoes, ran over with joy, ready to find a way to join in.
However.
Just as he arrived, Yang Lang was stunned.
Dumbfounded, he looked into the distance:
"This...."
What kind of team was this?!
No!
This couldn't even be considered a team; there were no neat uniforms, no standard-issue rifles, just ragged farmers and workers.
Their weapons were bizarre.
Tridents, machetes, and even carrying poles!
Could they really fight a war?
Yang Lang couldn't help but doubt, and the Blue Star viewers in the livestream were also at a loss.
After all, they had anticipated this for so long.
And this was the result, a team composed of ragged farmers and workers wielding machetes and carrying poles; could they defeat those local warlord soldiers?
At this moment, Yang Lang didn't know whether to join.
The main issue was, even if he joined, he didn't have a weapon.
He couldn't possibly use the straw shoes in his hand to compete against their rifles.
Yang Lang decided to hide in a tree to observe the situation.
As he watched those uprising farmers and workers attack Baisha County, Yang Lang's skepticism gradually turned to shock.
Because they really captured it.
But before Yang Lang could think of how to join, reality came crashing down with a heavy blow.
The armed warlord soldiers, with their rifles and machine guns, soon drove the uprising team composed of farmers and workers out of the county under strong firepower.
Gritting his teeth, Yang Lang followed them out.
He followed the team as they withdrew from Baisha County, and soon they regrouped.
After explaining his identity, Yang Lang, who had mingled in, was accepted by the team, because Yang Lang's clothes were even more tattered than those of some of the impoverished families in the team.
The calluses on his hands from weaving straw shoes made it clear he was one of the underprivileged folk with deep roots.
Yang Lang integrated into the team, although he hadn't seen the major figures shown in CG yet, but he believed by following the team, he would surely meet them.
A few days later.
The team, hidden deep in the mountains, received new orders to set out, and Yang Lang followed them, curiously asking the person next to him.
"Where are we going?"
The worker next to him tightened the bundle on his shoulders and said firmly,
"To Jinggang Mountain, to establish a base!"
"The leadership said, we'll establish a base there."
"They say... to encircle the cities from the countryside."
Yang Lang paused in his steps, somewhat surprised:
"Encircle the cities from the countryside?"
The worker next to him nodded heavily:
"Exactly."
"That's what the committee secretary said."
Yang Lang pondered for a moment without asking further questions.
He silently followed the team, but his heart was turbulent.
Although the CG footage had previously mentioned 'Jinggang Mountain.'
But the strategy of 'encircling the cities from the countryside' was emphasized in the game for the first time, and the Blue Star fans immediately split into two factions in the comments:
[Abandoning the cities to focus on the countryside? This....]
[Makes sense, the cities are heavily guarded by the enemy, facing them head-on is suicidal, isn't it?]
[The countryside has nothing, how can you fight without munitions factories?]
[Sure, there's no shortage of food, but compared to munitions factories, food seems a bit lacking, right?]
[Right, the countryside lacks firearms and ammunition, how can they form combat power?!]
[Players of the "Huaxia" series say: He who wins the people's hearts wins the world! Don't you understand the wisdom of the ancestors?]
[Nonsense, of course, we know, but that was in ancient times, can the will of the people override modern weapons?]
In the livestream, opinions on the 'encircle the cities from the countryside' strategy were divided, with some thinking it was not feasible while others found it reasonable.
The debate grew more intense.
Yang Lang glanced at the comments and suddenly turned to ask the worker beside him:
"What do you think?"
The worker was momentarily stunned:
"Huh?"
Yang Lang said:
"Do you think encircling the cities from the countryside... is reliable?"
Upon hearing this.
The worker was taken aback, then smiled assuredly:
"If he says it will work."
"Then it surely will."
These few words, like stones thrown into a lake.
Stirring up silent ripples.
The sincerity of the words touched Yang Lang and also the Blue Star fans in the livestream.
Mysteriously.
The minds of the people on Blue Star were suddenly imbued with the thought that 'encircling the cities from the countryside' might actually work....
