On January 19, the wind and snow had completely stopped, the sky began to clear, and groups of Taiping followers began to gather outside Quyang City one after another, but more of them were people under the coercion of Taiping believers.

Zang Hong stood at the head of the city, looking into the distance, looking at such a scene, he was burly, but his appearance was quite handsome, at this moment looking at the people who were driven like cattle and sheep, sighed, this is said to be a siege, but looking at these people, who will believe it if it is said to be an army? It is said that it is a Taiping rebellion, but it is more like a refugee.

Beside him, the county magistrate Zhang Chao came over and said, "Ziyuan, why are you here?" ”

"Brother Meng, why do you say this is so?" Zang Hong shook his head, looking at the unorderly crowd with a little unbearable in his eyes.

"It's the horn." Zhang Chao said without thinking.

"Is it just a horn?" Zang Hong turned his head to look at Zhang Chao: "The county officials fled in despair, and in the face of such an 'army', they really have no strength to fight?" In the past few years, I have repeatedly reported that the Taiping Sect in the imperial court is too powerful, but the book is like a stone sinking into the sea, although I am only the head of a county, but I also know that this Taiping Sect has close contacts with officials from all sides, and today's trend, I am afraid that it is not a horn that can be set off. ”

"Ziyuan, be cautious!" Zhang Chao was startled, and glared at Zang Hongdao with a serious face, this kind of thing, not to mention that they are both county orders, even Taishou doesn't dare to talk nonsense.

"Alas~"

……

"Yours, tie this to your head, and you will be your own when you siege the city." The Taiping Sect members who distributed food specially gave an extra piece of bread today, and also gave out a-yellow turban.

Chen Mo took the turban and tied it on his head, and in the satisfied eyes of the Taiping disciples, he took the dough cake before leaving the crowd, and when there was no one on the left and right, he took off the yellow scarf and stuffed it into his arms with the dough cake, went around twice, and ran to another place where military rations were distributed.

The city in the distance has loomed, Chen Mo lined up while looking at the crowd in the distance, there are many Taiping disciples with weapons today, one by one fierce and vicious, different from the Taiping disciples he sees on weekdays, depending on the situation, today is preparing to attack the city?

This result made Chen Mo a little surprised, not that the momentum was like a bamboo, everywhere he went, the court officials fled in spite of the wind, Quyang is not a big city, looking at the city wall, it is no different from Xiaqiu.

What went wrong?

Chen Mo walked four stalls in a row, received eight pieces of bread, and after four yellow scarves, he was afraid of being seen, so he turned around and around, and saw Dumb holding four pieces of bread showing off.

"How?" Mother Chen took the bread handed by Chen Mo and asked.

"There is going to be a war." Chen Mo sat down and gave the Wei realm in his arms to everyone: "It seems that Quyang is not like other cities, and the officials in the city choose to fight against the Taiping Sect. ”

"There are so many people in the Taiping Sect, how can they stop it?" Dumb frowned and asked.

"I don't know, sometimes a lot of people doesn't necessarily work." Chen Mo thought that they were intercepted by the Taiping Sect at the beginning, and in the end they almost didn't fight, but just caught the leader of the other party, and they easily passed the level, so to speak, sometimes a lot of people may not necessarily win, but if you don't take a trick, in fact, Chen Mo and Dumb have the same understanding, and it should be the side with more people who has an advantage.

"Do you really want to fight?" Aunt Cai was a little confused, this Taiping Sect does not distinguish between men and women, that is to say, if they really want to fight, they will also go to it.

"If you can't go, you won't go, just go, and hide in the rear." Chen Mo didn't have any ideas, he hadn't fought before, except for the Taiping Sect, I'm afraid there wouldn't be soldiers of his age and Dumb, right? I just feel like it should be safe to hide in the rear.

Of course, these are just children's natural conjectures, and the real battlefield is obviously not as simple as silent imagination, even if these people in the Taiping Sect are not an army.

……

"Go over there, don't slack off, go quickly~" Before noon, a Taiping Sect with a weapon came to drive people away, like driving livestock, driving people out, and those who didn't want to leave went up directly and kicked them.

"Man, the old man is sixty and three this year, how to ......"

"Poof~"

Killed!

Chen Mo watched the old man in the distance being slashed and killed by the Taiping Sect, Rao was also killed, but at this moment, his heart still couldn't help but tremble.

"Listen to me, these days to support you old and weak women and children, today, it is time for you to repay my teaching, give it to me, those who dare to retreat, kill!" The leader of the Taiping Sect kicked the old man's body away, and the bloody knife pointed at the people around him.

The people around were silent, no one dared to speak up, Chen Mo naturally didn't dare, he might die on the battlefield, but if he didn't, he would definitely die depending on the situation.

Then a group of unarmed men, who did not even know how to attack the city, were driven like animals in the direction of the city walls, and fell behind, beating and kicking them at the lightest, and at worst whips and steel knives.

Thousands or tens of thousands? Chen Mo didn't know, mixed with the crowd, he didn't even know where he should go next, he just grabbed his mother's hand and didn't let go, looking at the city getting closer and closer, his heart was full of fear and hesitation for the unknown.

……

"Shoot the arrows!" Looking at the people who were surging like an ant tide, on the head of the city, Zang Hong patted the city wall, there was no patience in his eyes, but he did not hesitate, and turned his head to the county lieutenant.

"This ......" the county lieutenant hesitated a little: "County Magistrate Zang, these are all ......"

"I know, but I can't let them come close, just scare them off." Zang Ba nodded and said, "Let's do it." ”

"Whoa." When the county lieutenant heard this, he gritted his teeth, Huo Ran looked back and looked at the county guards around him: "Listen to my orders and release arrows!" ”

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

Rows of cold arrow clusters fell from the sky, not dense, but the people under the city crowded each other, crowded people, there was not much space at all, most of the arrow clusters fell in front of the battle, but even a few blood flowers blooming in the crowd, for those who have never been on the battlefield, it is enough to inspire fear in their hearts.

Chen Mo also saw the real battlefield for the first time, and the moment the arrows fell from the sky, the feeling of life and death made Chen Mo's scalp numb.

He could see clearly that most of the arrow clusters were actually set in front of the crowd, this was obviously not the lack of strength of the archers in the city, Chen Mo's understanding of bows and arrows was not lower than that of any archer, this distance, with the strength of the opponent's bow, it was not difficult to take in all the crowd.

Looking up at the direction of the city, the crowd around him was already chaotic, Chen Mo was scurrying around like a headless fly, following the crowd that was chaotic.

At this moment, even if the rear is supervised by the Taiping Sect's people, they can't stop the frightened rebels, the war has not yet been fought, and the Taiping Sect has already made a mess......
