The Oasis Resistance Army in the Land of Wind was forced to begin a strategic retreat in the face of the Five Nations Allied Army's encirclement campaign.
This resistance army had originally established itself in the desert oases of the Land of Wind. Through flexible, mobile tactics and strong organizational cohesion, it had successfully survived for years under the oppression of the feudal lords.
However, with the involvement of the major ninja villages, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the resistance army's bases came under repeated encirclement and attack.
Ying Yue knew full well that the resistance army was facing a joint encirclement by the entire Ninja World and stood at an absolute disadvantage in both manpower and resources.
But he also understood an old maxim: "Preserve the people and lose the land, and both people and land can be regained; preserve the land and lose the people, and both people and land are lost."
Therefore, at a high-level meeting of the resistance army, Ying Yue clearly proposed a strategy of prioritizing the preservation of the revolutionary spark. He stressed that the resistance army could not stubbornly defend its strongholds, but had to remain flexible and mobile, preserving the main force's ability to survive and continuing to advance the revolutionary movement.
Thus, the resistance army was forced to abandon its original oasis bases and begin a strategic retreat, breaking its larger force into smaller units.
During the retreat, the resistance army's forces were divided into multiple small guerrilla units. Each unit was equipped with grassroots commanders and ideological organizers, people who were not only military leaders but also spreaders of revolutionary thought.
As they fled, they led the resistance army's members in a continuous war of liberation, defeating reactionary lords and noble bureaucrats along the way
