The Nameless of the Common Clans

In the second half of the night, the sound of fighting in the inner city gradually stopped. As Chen Mo's order was issued, the Guanzhong soldiers who had entered the inner city quickly retreated and retreated back to the city wall. The inner city, which was still fighting fiercely not long ago, suddenly fell into a strange situation. It was calm, and even many of the mansions that had been conquered were evacuated, leaving no soldiers and horses to guard them. This made the gentry in the inner city a little confused.

In the east of the inner city, Gao Shun was almost catching up with Li Shan, and the soldiers and horses around Li Shan were almost dispersed.

"Why don't you surrender?" After receiving the order, Shun stopped the pursuit and looked at Li Shan in front of him. Some of his men dispersed, and some knelt down and asked to surrender, but Gao Shun ignored them.

"The general treats me well." After Li Shan was silent for a moment, he said hoarsely. He didn't want to die, but as a soldier, he had his own bottom line and dignity. If it were before today, he might have surrendered. After all, he was a soldier. He was just a military prince and insignificant, but today, he was promoted to captain.

The responsibilities on him are different. Even if he was promoted to a high-ranking official at that time, it was a helpless move. Now there are no generals available in Yecheng, but no matter what, his identity is different. Surrender is easy, just kneel on the ground. But For the senior cadre who promoted him, his kneeling not only betrayed the senior cadre, but could also lead to the senior cadre's defeat. Even if it was not the main responsibility, the guilt and sense of responsibility in his heart prevented him from doing such a thing.

"What's your name?" Gao Shun nodded and did not force him to arrest him again.

"Li Shan!" The experience accumulated from countless battlefield battles told him that he could not sign up, but at this moment, Li Shan couldn't help but straighten his chest and said loudly.

He is a general, even the lowest kind, but he is still a general. At this time, he cannot lose in terms of momentum.

"I remember, next time we meet, I will beg my lord to spare Gao Gan's life, but you have to come down." Gao Shun nodded, ignored him after that, turned around and led the trapped camp to retreat towards the city wall.

According to convention, you should say something harsh at this time. Li Shan thought so too and opened his mouth, but what should he say? Would you rather die than surrender? It seemed unnecessary. He didn't surrender because the senior officer promoted him to general today. He couldn't abandon him at this time. But if his surrender could exchange for the senior officer's life, the favor would be repaid.

That’s not right either. Will he definitely lose?

Li Shan looked at the direction in which the trapped camp was leaving, and sat down helplessly. It seemed like this, with the current situation, it would be completely defeated, and I am afraid it would only happen in these two days.

Thinking of this, Li Shan stood up unsteadily and glanced at the direction the trapped camp was leaving. He didn't have any plan in mind about what to do next. In other words, he was used to following orders and letting himself make the decision. Instead, he would be confused. .

It would be great if there was no war. With my current status, I could at least live a good life. But if there was no war, I might not even be able to become a military prince...

After Gao Shun led the trapped camp back to the city wall, he arranged for the trapped camp to repair it, and then found Chen Mo.

"Lord!" Gao Shun saluted Chen Mo after seeing him.

"Is something wrong?" Chen Mo looked at Gao Shun curiously.

"Yes." Gao Shun nodded: "The general would like to ask the lord to let one person go."

"Oh?" Chen Mo's eyes became surprised, he looked at Gao Shun and said with a smile, "Do you have an old friend of yours in Yecheng?"

"No." Gao Shun shook his head.

"Who is that?" Chen Mo asked with a smile. It was rare for Gao Shun to ask for help. If it wasn't too much, Chen Mo would naturally not refuse. Now that the situation in Yecheng has been decided, even one or two people can't reverse the situation.

"Gao Gan." Gao Shun bowed.

"Gao Shun?" Chen Mo repeated, looking at Gao Shun with a surprised look. He couldn't be a relative.

"The general has nothing to do with senior officials." Gao Shun explained. Chen Mo's eyes at this moment... were easy to understand.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter even if it is." Chen Mo smiled and waved his hand and said: "This person is very messy with his troops and obviously can't control it. Maybe it is a good thing to put him back in a high position."

Chen Mo really doesn't care too much about senior cadres. People, it's not that the higher the status, the more important it is. On the contrary, in Chen Mo's view, senior cadres like him are not very capable, but they are in a high position because of blood, and they are placed in front of their enemies. In fact, it is a good thing.

"Can you please tell me why?" Chen Mo asked with a smile. He naturally believed Gao Shun's words, but what was the reason why Gao Shun was willing to intercede for Gao Shun?

"The general has his eye on someone."

"woman?"

"man."

"This..." Chen Mo moved back subconsciously.

"He is a lieutenant under Gao Gan. He is a piece of rough jade and is quite suitable to be the deputy general of the trapped camp." Gao Shun explained.

"Oh?" Chen Mo's expression became solemn when he heard this. Gao Shun was his confidant general, and the trapped camp was the elite among Chen Mo's men. However, as his status increased, Gao Shun could not command only the trapped camp. The deputy general of the camp, the deputy general of the camp, is almost equivalent to the leader of the camp when Gao Shun is unable to take care of both. Chen Mo had also considered candidates for the deputy general of the camp before. However, suitable generals in the army have the ability to command troops and can be great leaders. Yes, no matter how good the trap camp is, it is only a battalion. It is impossible for the chief general of an army to be a deputy general in the trap camp.

It is precisely because of this that many lieutenants have been trapped in the camp, but none of them lasted long.

"This person is good at commanding a small group of people to fight. He is suitable for being trapped in a camp. Moreover, his character is also good. Most importantly, he does not have too much ambition." Gao Shun bowed.

The reason why no deputy general in the trapped camp has been appointed is because if he is talented enough and has stronger ambitions, it is naturally impossible to be a deputy general in the trapped camp. For someone who has no ambition but not enough talent, Gao Shun also I don't like it. Being trapped in the camp is not something that anyone can command.

Li Shan's ability is quite good in Gao Shun's opinion. He can fight and lead troops, but he cannot lead more soldiers and horses. His ability is limited, but he is suitable for trapping camps. He cannot be the leader, but he can be the deputy general. On the battlefield The trapped camp above is for attacking difficult positions. It does not require much strategy. Being able to command these 800 people and being proficient in this number of tactics sounds easy, but there are not many people who can actually do it. Fighting in the trapped camp It is different from ordinary combat with troops of this scale, requiring more subtle control and battlefield insight.

"His condition is to let our army do something better?" Chen Mo frowned.

"No, this is what the general told him. After defeating the enemy, sparing Gao Gan's life is a way of repaying Gao Gan's kindness. He comes with me." Gao Shun bowed.

"Conquering people's hearts can't be done so straightforwardly." After understanding the cause and effect, Chen Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "Tomorrow is mainly about collecting the remaining criminals in the city, and the palace will fight the day after tomorrow. As for how to subdue this person, you will capture the high officials and him together. He said that he could let one person go to send a message to Yuan Shang and tell Yuan Shang to surrender as soon as possible. Then Li Shan would naturally stay, and he could also completely cut off his thoughts and let Gao Gan chill his heart by himself. Why do you need to do it? This evil person?"

"Thank you, Lord!" Gao Shun bowed and said, Chen Mo said this, and naturally agreed to him.

"Go and rest. As for whether this person can be a deputy general in the trapped camp, we still need to see what he is capable of, Li Shan, right?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Exactly." Gao Shun nodded.

"Let's talk about it first. If I feel that he is not capable enough, I will not use him." Chen Mo looked at Gao Shun and said, the deputy general of the trapped camp cannot be just picked up by someone: "I have to see if he is worth the cost we have to spend." thought."

"The general will understand." Gao Shun was obviously somewhat confident. He was not as good at judging people as Chen Mo, but he was not a casual person. Today, he made an exception and asked Chen Mo for help. Naturally, he was sure that Li Shan was qualified to be the deputy general of the trapped camp.

"I'm going to leave." Seeing that Chen Mo had nothing else to say, Gao Shun immediately bowed.

"Tomorrow is a day off. There is no need to fall into the camp for tomorrow's battle. If I encounter that Li Shan, I will be merciful." Chen Mo looked at Gao Shun and said with a smile.

Gao Shun thanked him and left.

Li Shan?

Chen Mo wrote a name on the bamboo slip with a pen and asked Zhang Ji to send it over. If he met this person, don't kill him.

The night passed quickly. After a night's rest, the Guanzhong Army entered the battlefield again. They walked down the city gate and walked towards the city. There were also door-breaking logs and ladders made overnight to attack the mansions in the inner city. .

However, the Yecheng gentry obviously did not sleep well last night. They lost the protection of the city wall. The Guanzhong Army was watching everywhere outside. It was strange that they could sleep well. They were afraid that the Guanzhong Army would take advantage of them to relax their vigilance and suddenly send troops to kill them again.

That night, the Guanzhong Army did not move again, but none of the wealthy households in the inner city had a good night's sleep. They strengthened the defenses of their doors and walls overnight, and some fled to the palace overnight.

In this way, the restless mood of the inner city gentry ushered in the dawn of the second day. With Chen Mo's instructions last night, Zhang Ji's goal today was clear. Soldiers and horses concentrated in several places to attack, and the sound of fighting became fierce again. .

The private soldiers of the family may not even participate in serious battles on weekdays. Yesterday, they were able to guard the door and wall because of the dark environment. Now Zhang Ji no longer has the chaotic fighting style with a full face, but an orderly and in accordance with the rules. According to the map given by Chen Mo, each family gathered their forces to attack. Before attacking, they would shoot a hail of arrows at them. As long as the house was selected, it didn't matter who you were or what kind of celebrity you were. A hail of arrows could kill the opponent privately. The soldiers were frightened out of their wits, and then the soldiers in Guanzhong climbed up the ladder. The soldiers were strictly ordered. As long as they entered, they would fight and kill without leaving any survivors. No matter how strong these mansions are, they are not real cities after all. Withstand such an attack.

Last night, he was still a little restrained, but after receiving Chen Mo's order today, Zhang Ji started his attack with great ferocity. He slaughtered almost every family. For a time, in the inner city of Ye City, the sky was filled with cries and the smell of blood filled the air, as if it was true. It's like hell on earth.
