The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Junhou, it's amazing, those yellow scarf thieves are so vulnerable!" Bao Geng led the rest of the troops into the city, looked at the yellow scarf thieves running in embarrassment, and looked at Chen Mo with admiration.

"Just retreat, order people to clear the battlefield immediately, seal the four gates, and send someone to notify the captain to come and join them as soon as possible. If those yellow scarf thieves come back, we and Mark will not be able to defend the city!" Chen Mo shook his head. Shaking his head, his heart felt a little heavy.

This group of yellow turban thieves has undergone earth-shaking changes from the yellow turban thieves he encountered back then.

Although the number of people was not as large as before, the battle was fought in a very organized manner. Secret sentries were set up all around to monitor, and the combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of the Yellow Turban thieves who were defeated after a slight setback. If I had not killed the opponent's general at the first time, the people outside the city would have been defeated. The battle is not that simple.

Shoot the man first, shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first, capture the king first. This is Chen Mo's first choice when encountering a battle. He has good archery skills, and later learned horse archery. During the battle, he first shoots the enemy general, and then rushes into the chaos. The enemy's formation can effectively avoid casualties on one's own side and at the same time cause chaos to the enemy to the maximum extent. If it goes smoothly, just like what happened just now, thousands of troops outside the city will directly collapse.

If not, although the soldiers and horses outside the city were scattered, with his small number of troops, he would have killed the enemy for a long time even if they stood still. Of course, letting Bao Geng create doubts about the formation and scare off the enemy troops was also an important factor.

But this is the result of Chen Mo's tactical prowess, the right time and place, and his personal abilities. Otherwise, 200 people could repel thousands of people... It would be basically an illusion.

This is what Chen Mo is worried about. This Gebei thief is wearing the skin of the Yellow Turban, but it is much more difficult to deal with than the original Yellow Turban thief. Although the opponent's troops are not as many as the original Yellow Turban thief, they are more targeted than the original Yellow Turban thief. The yellow turban thieves that have spread everywhere have become much stronger, and their overall combat effectiveness has increased by more than one level compared to the same number of yellow turban thieves at the beginning. Judging from the troops sent by the court this time, it is obvious that the Gebei thieves were treated as the original yellow turban thieves.

This battle will not be easy. When Bao Hong comes, we need to discuss it carefully with him. It is best to connect with the soldiers and horses of Runan, Qiaojun, and Chen. They alone are not enough with more than a thousand people.

The two generals and their troops began to divide the work, clearing the battlefield, repairing the city gates and the parapet, while Chen Mo found the remaining county guards in the city. As for Nanton Ling and the county captain, they had already died in the melee.

"Don't panic, everyone. I'm going under the command of the military academy captain. The follow-up army will arrive soon." Chen Mo looked at the three remaining county guards and did not pursue them for hiding in people's homes in fear of fighting. He followed Having been with Zang Hong for four years, he knew very well the level of the county guard. Now he still had to employ people. Those things should be ignored. The most important thing now was to restore order in the city.

Seeing the three county guards lowering their heads and saying nothing, Chen Mo frowned: "You three immediately organized the people to put out the fire, select brave men to help patrol, and find out the thieves who have not escaped."

"Why didn't you come earlier!?" A county guard suddenly stared at Chen Mo with red eyes, wanting to pounce on him.

"Huh?" Dalang, who had been following Chen Mo, drew his sword and put it directly on the opponent's neck. His cold eyes fell on the opponent's face, and there was a faint murderous intent. As long as the opponent made any changes again, he would definitely kill him mercilessly. Its beheading.

The county guard froze, still looking at Chen Mo with hatred on his face, and roared: "If you could have come earlier, why would I have done this? Do you know how many people died in the city today!? You are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you are in vain!"

Chen Mo looked at the other three people and suddenly smiled, with a bit of irrepressible anger in his smile. He got off his horse and walked straight to the man. Without saying a word, he slapped him in the face. Through exercise, he was already stronger than ordinary people. After entering Xiyuan, he exercised crazily every day, and his strength was far beyond that of ordinary people. This slap was so hard that it knocked the man to the ground.

A lot of people had gathered around at this moment. The words of the county guard earlier resonated with them. Now that they saw Chen Mo directly beating someone, they became even more angry with Chen Mo.

"I brought only two hundred people. You know better than me how many yellow turban thieves there are in this city! Are you greedy for life and afraid of death? If I am afraid of death, I can wait for the arrival of the army before sending out troops, but I don't know if you can afford to wait. "Chen Mo looked at the people around him, shook his head and chuckled, pointed at the dumbfounded county guard on the ground and said: "You see that I am young, and when you say these words, you just want me to take responsibility for you. As a county guard, Guard, when facing the enemy, I didn’t think about killing the enemy and defending the city. Instead, I hid in civilian houses. I didn’t want to argue with you. I didn’t want to get away with it. I also wanted to bite me back. Don’t say that I would take action immediately after discovering the enemy’s situation. I just waited until the army arrived. If I take action again, the court will not hold me accountable for this! But since the three of you don't appreciate it, I don't have to be a villain to capture it and hand it over to the Runan County Office after the army arrives!"

Repaying kindness with kindness?

Today's Chen Mo is not the little turd who still lived in the village back then. The good thoughts in his heart that have no bottom line have long been gone. I pity you and let you go. That is because my good thoughts have not disappeared, but if you If you don't appreciate me, and even want to step on me because I am young and easy to bully, then you are looking for the wrong person.

"Here!" Several guards around him stepped forward and without a word kicked the other two people down and tied them up.

"General, we didn't mean this!" The other two people saw that the situation was not good and quickly begged for mercy.

However, the opportunity has been given. If these three people work hard to cooperate with Chen Mo, Chen Mo will not pursue it and is too lazy to care about the affairs of these places. But now that he has malicious intentions, Chen Mo will never be soft-hearted and looks around gradually more and more indifferently. The people said: "In the future, This is to punish thieves. There is currently no owner in Nanton. I am issuing an order temporarily. If you are willing to accept it, follow the orders of the soldiers as soon as possible to put out the fire and save people. If not, I will lead the troops to leave directly. You can fend for yourself. Yes, I am a soldier and just fight."

The people around them are now much better behaved, and no one is making unreasonable troubles. Now the officers and soldiers are here to keep them safe, but if Chen Mo takes the people away directly, and the Yellow Turban thieves come back to kill them, they will be doomed.

Immediately, under the command of Chen Mo, the doctors and craftsmen in the city were gathered to treat the wounded. At the same time, some carpenters and masons were recruited to repair the city walls and gates. Chen Mo also recruited brave men and began to put out the fire everywhere. Nanton gradually fell into peace. .

Although the war destroyed homes and killed relatives and friends, the living people will eventually continue to live.

Looking at this orderly scene, Chen Mo suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

He had followed Zang Hong in Tangli for four years and was quite proficient in the governance of the county. It was not difficult to do this now, but he was a little cold-hearted. After arranging everything, he went straight to the city wall.

"These people are like this, bullying good and fearing evil." Dalang followed Chen Mo to the city wall, looked at the messy battlefield outside the city, and comforted him: "There is no need to be angry with them."

After Dalang was recruited into the camp by Chen Mo, he became Chen Mo's personal guard and was in charge of Chen Mo's bodyguard. As a brother who grew up together, he knew that Chen Mo must be feeling extremely uncomfortable at this moment.

"I just thought of Aunt Zhang and Aunt Cai." Chen Mo held his hand on the parapet, looked at the scenery in the distance, and sighed: "Do you think if I wasn't so familiar with his family back then, would he blame me? If Uncle Wang and Uncle Cai weren't as close as brothers, would Aunt Cai treat Uncle Wang like that after Uncle Cai died? "

"When people encounter disaster, they always lose their temper towards their loved ones. I don't know why?" Dalang held the knife and shook his head. Chen Mo couldn't understand this question, let alone him.

"Human nature." Chen Mo sighed: "Because Aunt Zhang knows that we will not harm her, and Aunt Cai knows that Uncle Wang will not hurt her."

"What's wrong with you?" Dalang looked at Chen Mo.

"It's almost like bullying the weak and fearing the strong. It can also be said that they are angry for their own incompetence. The people closest to them will forgive them even if they go too far. Just like these people, we are officers and soldiers here to protect them, so they They will vent this emotion on us, and when they find out that we are not tolerant, they will hold it back again." Chen Mo groped the female wall and said with a smile.

"It seems that I was like this before. When my parents died, I blamed Uncle Yang and Uncle Li." Dalang thought of some unpleasant things.

"But you live a real life." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Look at the people in the city, many of them have lived half their lives. I'm afraid they don't understand these principles. If you don't talk about this, how many people have been killed in this battle?"

"Six, and one escaped." Dalang said.

"Based on your meritorious service, you can become a captain after you return, and you can even be promoted to a team leader if you have the chance." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"It's good to be a personal guard. You don't have to worry about so many things. You can concentrate on practicing martial arts and studying. If you get promoted in the future, I will naturally have more people under my command." Dalang shook his head. It's not that he doesn't want to be promoted, but Chen Mo is just one person now. If the military prince wastes his favor because of his affairs, it will not be easy for Chen Mo to get promoted himself.

"Promotion is based on merit. If merit is not rewarded, where is the prestige of the court?" Chen Mo patted Da Lang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Live well and survive, and you can be a high official in the future."

"Marquis, the captain sent someone to send news that the army is still fifty miles away from here. Please don't make any move. We will discuss countermeasures after the army gathers." Bao Geng ran over quickly and saluted Chen Mo. .

"Nan Dun has been rescued. I will write a report later and send it to the Runan County Government Office. The county magistrate, county magistrate, and county lieutenant all died in the battle. Nan Dun needs to send someone as soon as possible. We cannot continue Stationed here." Chen Mo looked around and saw that there was no danger to defend Nanton. With insufficient troops, This place is not suitable for garrisoning. He also wants to get some specific information about the Gebei thieves from the Runan County Government Office. At present, they have too little information. They don't even know how big the Gebei thieves' current territory is and how many soldiers and horses they have. You know, this will be a big disadvantage when formulating strategies next.

"Here!" Bao Geng agreed, turned around and left to look for someone. Chen Mo took Dalang and his guards and walked straight towards the Yamen Office. He didn't bring any pen, ink or bamboo slips with him.
