Chapter 57 Section 10 A team without a number

What kind of team is this?They have no numbers, flags, armor, or weapons; they wear all kinds of strange clothes, hold kitchen knives, hoes, and poles in their hands, and drive their own little donkey in front, with their wives and children sitting on the donkey.A scholar who was taken into the army by the peasant uprising army recalled his experience in this way: "The clothes are not classic, or military uniforms, with white silk around the head. The golden head of the temple and dragon robes are worn on it. And the guards below are all guarded, there are people with brilliant clothes, and there are ragged beggars, and every new moon, there will be a lot of people."

This huge and complex team looks like a large number of people, but in fact, not many can really participate in the battle. Their main interests were food and property, and what attracted their troops was the Tuweizi, Dazhuangyuan, and small towns in the front. After they captured the Tuweizi, it was the officers and soldiers who followed behind them. Driven to a dead end, they had to turn around and face the regular army.When the two armies handed over, most of these amateur fighters were defeated, so their heads rolled on the ground like chopping melons and vegetables, people scattered and fled, and a seemingly majestic team disappeared.There were also times when these desperate beasts suddenly burst out with astonishing energy at the moment of death, and they risked their lives to fight back, which surprised the arrogant officers and soldiers, confused them, and lost them.

The startled uprising team discovered that the fighting will of those well-armed officers and soldiers was actually not as strong as theirs.With the increase of victories, their self-confidence is growing, their experience is getting richer, and their appeal is getting stronger, so they gradually become a powerful force, and they have been written into local chronicles with the notoriety of "thief" or "bandit". Unofficial or even official history qualifications, and began to register in localities and even the empire, working with local officials, dealing with them day and night.
