Chapter Seventy-Four: The Reversal Begins
The war is still on, at least on the battlefield, Chen Mo didn't feel too many changes, he and Zhang Min took their ticket to sway around the battlefield, trying to hide out of range.
Zhang Min has been on the battlefield, according to Zhang Min, probably looking at the next few hundred years, the battlefield can be managed like this, so that the soldiers can shake around at will, and Zhou Fang is such a genius.
Speaking of which, Chen Mo felt that he and his mother were able to live to this day, thanks to Zhou Fang's talent in this regard.
When night fell, the routine retreat, whether Zhou Fang would be furious Chen Mo didn't know, in order to avoid the Taiping Sect people from making trouble, this time they did not return to their original territory, but prepared to rest for a night on the side of the old, weak, sick and disabled on the periphery.
Halfway through March, the temperature on Jianghuai's side is not so biting even at night, and violent and painful coughing sounds can be heard around from time to time.
The unexpected peace of this night was not as chaotic as he imagined, as if the thin monkey was connected to the city wall in the morning did not have any effect, what should everyone do, there was an earth-shattering snoring sound around him, most people were already asleep, Chen Mo found that even the wooden arrows that were close at hand could not see clearly, so he could only put it down helplessly, leaning against the shed, looking at the darkness, frowning and thinking about his own thoughts?
What did you do wrong? Or maybe Zang Hong's strategy didn't have much effect? For Chen Mo, who was in contact with the war for the first time, his intuitive feeling for Zang Hong's arrangements was not too big, obviously the day before yesterday and yesterday, the barracks were nervous, and a few people from the Taiping Sect were killed, why was it so calm today?
Not normal, right?
"Not so fast!" Zhang Min didn't know when he appeared behind Chen Mo, and the faint moonlight couldn't even distinguish his face, but he saw a vague silhouette sitting beside him.
"What do you mean?" Chen Mo looked at Zhang Min puzzled.
"You don't think that because of the Thin Monkey matter, everyone will frantically besiege and kill the Taiping Sect tonight, and then compete to invite merit, right?" Zhang Min asked rhetorically without answering.
Today, the thin monkey really showed his face on the city wall, constantly yelling at the various city heads, panting for the armor of the Han army, carrying bloody human heads in his hands, and no matter whether anyone listened to him or not, he was just constantly shouting at the city and persuading them to learn from themselves.
"Isn't it?" Chen Mo looked at Zhang Min suspiciously.
"Now in this camp, there are not a hundred or eighty, maybe more, what are we doing now?" Zhang Min said with a smile.
"Wait for the others to fight, and then take advantage of the chaos to ......" Speaking of this, Chen Mo suddenly stopped talking, they are waiting for others to mess up here, why don't others have this thought, Chen Mo looked at Zhang Min with a sudden face: "The leader is saying that they are also waiting for others to make the first move like us?" ”
"It's not necessarily like that, after all, there are not many smart people in this world, and even fewer here." Zhang Min should be grinning, even in the dark, Chen Mo could see the row of white teeth.
"Why is that?" Chen Mo was puzzled.
"Someone has to take the lead." Zhang Min touched Chen Mo's head and said with a smile: "Although you are smart, there are some things that you can't rush, and if you want to achieve great things, you must be stable." ”
"But what if everybody thinks this way, and no one wants to come forward?" Chen Mo frowned and asked, thinking in his heart about how successful is the success rate of encouraging Zhang Min to be the first to come out?
"No, it won't." Zhang Min shook his head and said: "We can live, others may not be able to, even if we don't want to do it, those lone wolves will definitely not be able to bear it!" Look, there will be dead people tonight. ”
The so-called lone wolf is those who have the ability, but they are not like Zhang Min who gather people to enclose the land and go alone, Chen Mo used to be like this, but he was passive, no one in these small forces gathered together was willing to take in their orphans, widows and a dog, their situation was not much different from the old, weak, sick and disabled around them who were coughing, the difference was that Chen Mo had some ability and could grab food.
Chen Mo felt that during this time, he had really learned a lot, although he had not been recognized by the system immortals.
This night, as Zhang Min said, many people died, some were from the Taiping Sect, and many ordinary people who were not from the Taiping Sect woke up without their heads.
As for why...... After all, the core combat power of the Taiping Sect is well-trained, and what the government office needs is a head certificate, but there is no way to tell whose head it is?
Did Zang Hong miss this? Or did you know from the beginning that you hadn't thought about it at all?
If it was before, Chen Mo would probably be very angry, thinking that Zang Hong's words would have cost so many innocent people their lives, but now, Chen Mo didn't have much feeling in his heart, or simply chose to avoid it.
In troubled times, people are like ants, whether they are innocent or not is not necessarily related to whether they will die, or how many people in this world are not innocent? Chen Mo has killed people, and if he doesn't guarantee that there will be no innocent person he kills, but he has no other way, he wants to survive, and right now, what he needs is to win!
The next morning, before dawn, you could see people running to the city wall with their heads from time to time, and gongs sounded in the barracks, but this time it was not for the siege, but to clean up the people who had killed the robes.
The chaos began to spread on the second day, until this moment, Zhou Fang seemed to understand the seriousness of the problem, but it seemed to be too late, the Taiping Sect disciples sent out recovered more than a dozen people, but on the second day and night, more people died, and some people even ran here to cut off people's heads, and were driven away by Zhang Min and even killed two.
On the third day, even Chen Mo felt the signs of chaos, and everyone was vigilant, not only between the Taiping Sect and ordinary refugees, but also between the refugees themselves and themselves, between the Taiping Sect and the new army like Uncle Yang and them.
For three consecutive days, the Taiping Sect did not attack the city again.
"Almost." In the government office, compared to the chaos and restlessness of the Taiping Sect, it seems much quieter here, Zang Hong landed a chess piece on the chessboard, looked at Zhang Chao and smiled: "It's faster than I expected." ”
"Do you want to send troops?" Zhang Chao's attention was obviously not on the chessboard.
"Ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle, but I won't go out lightly for the time being, I'm going to have someone take the kid back first." Zang Hong frowned and said: "The next thing will be very chaotic, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to protect himself as a child." ”
"Who's going?" Zhang Chao wondered.
"The first person to come back with a head a few days ago."
"This person has a grudge against Chen Jialang." Zhang Chao frowned.
"Little resentment, this person is cowardly and unwise, he was played by a little child, and he has not noticed it so far, not to mention that you and I are here, if he is not stupid to the end, he should know how to do it." Zang Hong shook his head again and said, "Brother Meng is not quiet today, how about this game as a tie?" ”
Zhang Chao glanced down at the sunspot who had lost his armor and was killed, and nodded silently: "Good!" ”
