The Nameless of the Common Clans

The light of dawn dispelled the darkness. Outside the messy Taiping Cult camp, the battlefield with corpses all over the ground still exuded a foul smell. Some people got up early and found a place where no one was around to relieve themselves. Both men and women did the same. In such an environment, the difference between men and women seemed to be not so important. When Chen Mo came out, he saw a woman in her thirties who had just finished. She was not panicked when she saw Chen Mo, and stood up calmly and pulled up her pants.

He turned his eyes away with some embarrassment. Behind him was a thin monkey carrying a bloody package. Zhang Kai was discussing something with someone. The military camp would be in chaos next. After sending the thin monkey away, they had to move to another place to avoid being troubled by the Taiping Cult. They would stay there for a while to see the effect. If the military camp really became chaotic, they would not do anything else first, but pull a group of people first.

Zhang Kai's righteousness last night made his core members support him unprecedentedly. Although he failed to save Shou Hou'er in the end, it was Shou Hou'er's own will. Zhang Kai's tall image has now been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Chen Mo estimated that in the future, Zhang Kai's reputation for righteousness may spread and attract more people to come and join him.

Chen Mo can only speculate about these things that he has never experienced.

"It will be time to attack the city in a moment at most." Zhang Kai brought Shou Hou out, turned his head and looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Let's send Shou Hou out first."

"Okay!" A group of men responded loudly and walked towards Quyang City under the leadership of Zhang Kai.

This is why the Taiping Sect's military discipline is scattered, or even non-existent. Except for the Taiping Sect's own elite and the hunters and rangers who were recruited, the others are basically free-range. Zhou Fang's method is very simple. He holds food in his hand. If these people leave, they will starve to death soon, so he is not afraid of these people running away.

But now it is convenient for Chen Mo and others to act.

Zhang Kai's actions attracted many people. Shou Hou was escorted by Zhang Kai to the periphery, which was more than 300 steps away from Quyang City. Most of the people living here were old, weak, sick and disabled. They lived there for no other reason than to walk less when they went out to fight. As for food, they could not compete with the strong young people, and they might even be beaten. They could only eat the leftovers sent by the Taiping Sect.

Chen Mo saw that many people were dying, and some were still coughing. Before they arrived at the battlefield, there was a dead air all around.

"Leader, I..." Shou Hou looked at Zhang Kai stiffly. At this moment, the fear of uncertainty in the future made him want to back down.

"Don't worry, it's okay. The government army needs you! They won't harm you! Hurry up and leave before the Taiping Sect comes. You can't leave any later." Zhang Kai patted Shou Hou's shoulder encouragingly.

At this point, with so many people watching, although Shouhou didn't want to leave, he still carried the package and walked towards the Quyang city wall, looking back every three steps in the eyes of encouragement, admiration and even worship.

"What should we do now?" Zhang Kai looked at Shouhou's back. The gong sounded in the back, and some Taiping sect members were coming here. Zhang Kai asked Chen Mo in a low voice.

Chen Mo looked back at the troops gathering in the back, and then looked in the direction of Shouhou and whispered: "Try to let more people know about this."

The more people know, the more effective Zang Hong and his strategy will be. This is how Chen Mo understands it. Isn't the purpose of posting the notice outside the city wall to let more people know about this?

"No problem!" Zhang Kai looked in the direction of Shouhou, nodded, and greeted the Taiping sect general who was walking towards this side.

"Stop, what are you doing?" The Taiping sect general looked at Zhang Kai vigilantly. In the past two days, many people in the Taiping sect have been killed, and people inside are also panicking.

"Leader, we just saw someone carrying a human head and running towards Quyang City. We wanted to chase him, but we couldn't catch up!" Zhang Kai bowed to the Taiping general.

"What?" The Taiping general frowned and looked towards Quyang City. He saw the tall and thin figure carrying a package and running towards the city gate. His face changed and he shouted: "Stop him, no, kill him!"

The Taiping Church has no cavalry, at least not under Zhou Fang. There are some archers, but they can be suppressed when shooting against hundreds of people. Don't expect them to shoot the skinny monkey at such a long distance.

Some people rushed out to chase him, and some people opened their bows and arrows to shoot, but at this time the skinny monkey had already run a hundred steps away, and even a sharpshooter like Chen Mo couldn't reach him at such a long distance.

"Quick, hurry up, catch him!" Zhang Kai was concerned about his image and didn't want to show off too much, but Chen Mo didn't have these concerns at this time. He shouted loudly, as if he wanted to show off in front of the Taiping believers, trying to attract more attention.

"Stop shouting that child!" The Taiping general saw many people around him gathering here, and reacted. His face sank, pointed in the direction of Chen Mo, and shouted sternly.

But it was too late. The people around had noticed the situation here, and the army was gathering to prepare for the siege. Many people saw the thin figure carrying Xue Linlin's package and rushing to the city wall.

"Don't shoot arrows!" The skinny monkey came to the city gate. He couldn't pretend to be a tough guy anymore. He knelt down at the city and said in panic: "I am Taipingjiao... No, the Taiping Church killed me... No... I came to surrender. This... head, does your list count!"

On the top of the city wall, Zang Hong and Zhang Chao had received Chen Mo's letter yesterday. Seeing that someone had indeed come to surrender with his head, they smiled at each other. Zhang Chao waved his hand, indicating that the prepared hanging basket should be lowered. At the same time, two teams of archers were dispatched to guard this place. If anyone from the Taiping Sect rushed over at this time, they would be shot immediately.

"Your future disciple is quite capable. It's only been two days, and you have persuaded someone to surrender?" Zhang Chao looked at Zang Hong and joked.

"Wait for him to come up and ask him. I'm also curious, how did this kid do it?" Zang Hong held the parapet and looked at the elite Taiping Sect chasing from a distance, but his attention was not on these people at the moment. His eyes passed over them and looked in the direction of the Taiping Sect army.

A dozen Taiping followers were shot dead by arrows, and the rest fled in panic. The Taiping leader looked around with a gloomy face: "Where are those people just now?"

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this. They were only concerned with chasing people just now, but did not pay attention to Zhang Kai and his group. When they were asked, they found that Zhang Kai and others had disappeared without a trace.

"Leader!" A Taiping warrior stepped forward and said: "General Qu ordered the troops to attack. Can we talk about this after the war?"

"Okay!" The Taiping leader nodded after a moment of hesitation and said: "Pass the order, attack!"
