The Nameless of the Common Clans

The war was still going on. At least on the battlefield, Chen Mo did not feel much change. He and Zhang Kai led their group of people to wander around the battlefield, trying to hide themselves out of the range.

Zhang Kai had been on the battlefield before. According to Zhang Kai, in the past few hundred years, the battlefield could be managed like this, allowing the soldiers to wander around at will. Only Zhou Fang was a genius.

In this way, Chen Mo felt that he and his mother could live to this day, thanks to Zhou Fang's talent in this regard.

As night fell, they withdrew their troops as a routine. Chen Mo did not know whether Zhou Fang would be furious. In order to avoid trouble from the Taiping Sect, they did not return to their original territory this time, but prepared to rest for a night on the outskirts of the old, weak and disabled.

It was already halfway through March, and the temperature in Jianghuai was no longer so biting even at night. He could hear violent and painful coughs from time to time. Chen Mo sat outside the temporary robbing arrow tower shed, sharpening wooden arrows with scissors, staring at the wooden stick with a somewhat distracted look.

This night was unexpectedly peaceful, not as chaotic as he had imagined. It seemed that the incident of the skinny monkey being connected to the city wall in the morning had no effect. Everyone was doing what they were supposed to do. There was a loud snoring around him. Most people were already asleep. Chen Mo found that even the wooden arrows that were close at hand were not very clear. He could only put them down helplessly, leaning against the shed, looking at the darkness, frowning and thinking about his own thoughts?

What did he do wrong? Or was it that Zang Hong and his strategy did not have much effect? ​​For Chen Mo, who was in contact with war for the first time, he did not have a strong intuitive feeling about Zang Hong's arrangements. Obviously, the day before yesterday and yesterday, the military camp was tense, and several people from the Taiping Sect were killed. Why is it so peaceful today?

Not normal, right?

"Not so fast!" Zhang Kai appeared behind Chen Mo at some point. The faint moonlight could not even distinguish his face. He only saw a vague outline sitting next to him.

"What do you mean?" Chen Mo looked at Zhang Kai puzzledly.

"You don't think that because of the skinny monkey, everyone will go crazy to kill the Taiping believers tonight, and then compete to take credit, right?" Zhang Kai asked instead of answering.

Today, the skinny monkey really showed up on the city wall, constantly yelling and shouting on the tops of the city walls, panting in the Han army's armor, holding a bloody head in his hand, and didn't care if anyone listened to him. He just kept yelling at the people below the city, urging them to learn from him.

"Isn't it?" Chen Mo looked at Zhang Kai in confusion.

"Now in this camp, there are at least 80 people like us, if not a hundred, and maybe more. What are we doing now?" Zhang Kai smiled when he heard this.

"Wait for others to start fighting, and then take advantage of the chaos..." At this point, Chen Mo suddenly stopped talking. They were waiting for others to make trouble here, why wouldn't others have this idea? Chen Mo looked at Zhang Kai with a look of realization: "The leader said that they are also waiting for others to take action first like us?"

"It's not necessarily the case. After all, there are not many smart people in this world, and even fewer here." Zhang Kai should have grinned. Even in the dark, Chen Mo could see the row of white teeth.

"Why is that?" Chen Mo asked puzzled.

"Someone has to take the lead." Zhang Kai touched Chen Mo's head and smiled: "Although you are smart, there are some things that cannot be rushed. To achieve great things, you must be stable."

"But what if everyone has this idea and no one is willing to take the lead?" Chen Mo frowned and asked, thinking in his heart what the success rate of encouraging Zhang Kai to take the lead first?

"No." Zhang Kai shook his head and said, "We can survive, but others may not. Even if we don't want to take action, those lone wolves will definitely not be able to bear it! Just watch, there will be more deaths tonight."

The so-called lone wolf is those who have the ability, but unlike Zhang Kai, they don't gather together to circle the land and live alone. Chen Mo used to be this kind of person, 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 is not much different from the old, weak and sick people around them who can't stop coughing. The difference is that Chen Mo has some ability and can grab food.

Chen Mo felt that he really learned a lot during this period, although he was not recognized by the system gods.

That night, as Zhang Kai said, many people died. Some were from the Taiping Sect, and many ordinary people who were not from the Taiping Sect woke up without heads.

As for why...after all, the core combat power of the Taiping Sect is well-trained. What the government needs is the head certificate, but there is no way to tell whose head it is?

Did Zang Hong miss this point? Or did he know it from the beginning and never considered this issue?

If it was before, Chen Mo would probably be very angry, thinking that Zang Hong's words had caused so many innocent people to lose their lives, but now, Chen Mo didn't feel much, or simply chose to avoid it.

In troubled times, people are like ants, and innocence has no necessary connection with whether they will die or not. In other words, how many people in this world are not innocent? Chen Mo has killed people, and he can't guarantee that there are no innocent people among those he killed, but he has no choice. He wants to survive, and now, what he needs is to win!

The next morning, before dawn, you can see people carrying heads running to the city wall from time to time, and the sound of gongs rang in the military camp, but this time it was not for attacking the city, but to deal with those who killed their comrades.

Chaos began to spread on the second day. Until now, Zhou Fang seemed to understand the seriousness of the problem, but it seemed to be too late. The Taiping cult members sent out recovered more than a dozen people, but on the second night, they died. There were more people, and some even came here to cut off people's heads. Zhang Kai and his men drove them away and even killed two of them.

On the third day, even Chen Mo felt the signs of chaos. Everyone was vigilant. This vigilance and vigilance were not only between the Taiping sect and ordinary refugees, but also between the refugees themselves and themselves. Taiping Between Jiaozhong and new armies like Uncle Yang and others.

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 Religion, it seemed much quieter here. Zang Hong dropped a chess piece on the chessboard, looked at Zhang Chao and said with a smile: "It's better than what I thought." It should be made faster.”

"Do you want to send troops?" Zhang Chao's attention was obviously not on the chessboard.

"I ordered the soldiers to prepare for war, but I will not go out lightly for now. I am going to have someone take the child back first." Zang Hong frowned and said: "It will be very chaotic next. I'm afraid he will be unable to protect himself as a child."

"Who is going?" Zhang Chao asked doubtfully.

"The first person to come back with a head a few days ago."

"This person has a grudge against Chen Jialang." Zhang Chao frowned.

"Small complaint, this man is timid and ignorant. He was teased by a child and has not noticed it yet. Besides, with you and me here, if he is not stupid to the end, he should know what to do." Zang Hong shook his head again and said: "Today Brother Meng Gao is restless, so how about this game be considered a draw? "

Zhang Chao lowered his head and glanced at the slain Heizi who had abandoned his armor, silently nodded and said: "Good!"
