Chapter 64: The Hungry Soldiers
When he returned to the Taiping Sect camp, Chen Mo was suddenly a little dazed, although he used to take everyone with him, he would also have some attachments, at least he knew where to go every day? Who should be with him, but today, after successfully sending his mother and them into the city, Chen Mo suddenly found that he didn't know where to go in the camp of tens of thousands of people?
The villagers of the past have long been together, and after these days of talent and integration, they don't even know if there are still in this team, and the only thing that can be determined is that only Uncle Yang and Uncle Li are still here, just looking for them...... Chen Mo felt that now was not the time.
The next step is to help break the enemy, but most of these tens of thousands of people's 'army', in Chen Mo's opinion, are innocent people who can't help themselves like him, and they shouldn't do anything to them, and even if tens of thousands of people stand up and let him kill them one by one, he can't kill them all, and he may not really have such a ruthless heart.
To put it bluntly, to solve the siege of Quyang, the most important thing is those Taiping Sect wrestlers or something, these people are the key.
The lights were blind, Chen Mo groped his way back to the camp, found a place with a lot of people and squeezed in, no matter what, at least now he couldn't do anything.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day the sky was just white, and the surrounding sounds made Chen Mo wake up, and a pair of eyes stared at the surroundings vigilantly, although they were in the crowd, they were a group of hungry and crazy people, sleeping too dead, it was not uncommon to be dragged away and eaten, especially now when he was alone.
"Little boy, where are you from? Haven't seen it before? The man sleeping next to Chen Mo frowned and looked at him.
"Xia Qiu, after the troops were collected yesterday, I am here." Chen Mo was carrying a wooden arrow in one hand and looked at the other party vigilantly.
"Hey, what do I want to do to you, what's the use of this wood?" The man glanced at Chen Mo, shook his head and laughed, and didn't pay attention to him.
Chen Mo did not relax his vigilance when he heard this, but silently stepped aside, only then did he look around to see if there was a place to distribute food, last night he was worried about his mother's suffering, and gave his mother the money bag and food, he was inconvenient, and it was easy to be targeted, now he is the only one left, and everything has to be careful.
"Don't look, didn't you hear those people yesterday? After that, one cake was given every day, and it was given after the war. The man stretched his waist, took out a piece of bread from his arms and took a bite of it fiercely, looking at the Taiping Sect generals who appeared in the distance one after another, and scolded angrily: "These days are getting more and more difficult." ”
Looking at the dough in the man's hand, Chen Mo swallowed his saliva, not only him, but the people around looked at the dough in the man's hand, but no one dared to step forward.
The man ignored them, ate the bread in his hand in a few bites, took the water bladder handed by others and poured it fiercely, breathed a sigh of relief fiercely, turned his head to look at Chen Mo, and grinned: "I see that you are quite clever, just stay here, everyone here listens to me, as long as you don't die on the battlefield, after you come back, you will be those people of the Taiping Sect, and you don't dare to force each other too much." ”
Chen Mo hesitated and nodded, and stepped aside, this kind of thing is actually not uncommon, in this team of tens of thousands of people, many fellow villagers will gather together in order not to be bullied by outsiders, those who resisted and were killed before are similar teams, Chen Mo actually wanted to join a similar team before, but they were orphans and widows, no one looked down on them, or some directly wanted to drag away his mother, or wanted to fight the idea of the sunspot, because of this, Chen Mo had two more lives on his hands.
Now that his mother is safe, Chen Mo still has to stay here, the best way is to join such a team, have a support, at least he doesn't have to sleep and be scared.
"Bell Bell Bell ~"
The piercing sound of gongs shattered the tranquility of the early morning, and the leading man stood up and looked at the Taiping Sect generals who were gathering people in the distance, and took out a yellow scarf from his arms and wrapped it around his head.
This is the meaning of going on the expedition, Chen Mo also took out a yellow scarf from his arms and tied it on his head, turned his head to look around, most of them were young and strong, but most of them had yellow faces and thin muscles, and few of them were as red as men.
"Remember, if you come back alive with the food you get every day, you will get 10% of the food you get!" The man glanced at Chen Mo and said.
"Hmm." Chen Mo nodded, he knew this rule, after all, these people are not good at stubble, and they will not shelter you in vain.
"If the city is broken, don't worry about anything else, just grab the grain, with the food, we can gather more people, my name is Zhang Min, in the future, you will be like them, call me the leader." The man brought a big gun from his side, turned his head to look at the short bow on Chen Mo's shoulder and said, "It's good to be able to shoot arrows, but your bow can't shoot far, I'll help you find a good bow in a few days!" ”
Compared with most people with sticks and farm tools, Chen Mo carrying a short bow on his back is also one of the reasons why Zhang Min left Chen Mo behind, after all, most people from Orion were recruited by the Taiping Sect, and he wanted to form his own people, like this, the more weapons the better the merrier, and now he is not qualified to choose.
"Thank you." Chen Mo hesitated, but bowed down and thanked him.
"I still know some etiquette, hey~" Zhang Min glanced at Chen Mo with a smile, after all, in this kind of crowd who can't read a lot of big characters, it is not very likely to meet such a young man who is quite literate.
The Taiping Sect generals over there were already urging, and a group of hungry people didn't have the heart to continue talking nonsense and began to assemble.
Chen Mo obviously felt that today's atmosphere seemed to be different from yesterday's, one by one the red-eyed refugees, it seemed that each of them had a sense of anger, that was only the hungry and crazy, Chen Mo had seen it more than once, he suddenly understood what the Taiping Sect people were planning, this was to use the food to force these people to work hard!
In an instant, after figuring out these key points, Chen Mo suddenly panicked, he just sent his mother into the city last night, if Quyang City was broken, what should his mother do?
He wanted to change something, but he couldn't change anything, he couldn't stop tens of thousands of hungry people alone, and he couldn't change the decision of the Taiping Sect.
As the gong sounded for the siege, the most tragic siege began since Chen Mo was forced to join the Taiping Sect.
A simple wooden ladder was put up on the city wall, and was quickly pushed down by the people on the city wall, those who were lying on the ladder fell down like grasshoppers strung together, and some smashed directly into the crowd, but the people in the rear were still rushing up frantically, Chen Mo even saw someone dragging the corpse that had just died running backwards.
The entire battlefield ...... It's all crazy!
