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 or 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 had almost been defeated.

"Why don't you surrender?" After receiving the order, Shun 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 in a hoarse voice. He didn't want to die, but as a soldier, he had his own bottom line and dignity. If it had been before today, he might have surrendered. After all, he was a soldier.

He was just a military prince and was of no importance, but today, he was promoted to captain.

The responsibilities on his body 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 status is different. Surrender is easy, just kneel on the ground. But

For the senior cadre who promoted him, his kneeling was not only a betrayal of the senior cadre, but also likely to 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 if he is 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, he should say something harsh at this time. Li Shan thought so too and opened his mouth, but what should he say? Would rather die than surrender? It seemed unnecessary. The reason why he didn't surrender was because the senior officials promoted him to general today.

I can't abandon him at this time, but if my surrender can exchange for Gao Gan's life, this kind of kindness can be repaid.

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

Li Shan looked at the direction in which the trapped camp was leaving, and sat down a little feebly. It seemed like this, given the current situation, it would be completely defeated, and I'm 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...

Gao Shun led the trapped camp back to the city wall, arranged for the trapped camp to repair, 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 determined, 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. It might be a good thing to put him back in a high position."

Chen Mo really doesn't care too much about high-ranking cadres. It's not that the higher the status, the more important it is. On the contrary, in Chen Mo's opinion, a high-ranking cadre like him is not very capable, but he is in a high position because of his blood.

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 that made Gao Shun willing to intercede for Gao Shun?

"The general has his sights on someone."

"woman?"

"man."

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

"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 is his confidant general, and the trapped camp is the elite among Chen Mo's men. However, as his status increases, Gao Shun cannot command only the trapped camp.

When Gao Shun is unable to take care of both sides of the camp, the deputy general of the trapped camp is almost equivalent to the main general of the trapped camp. Chen Mo has also considered candidates for the deputy general of the trapped camp before. However, suitable generals in the army have the ability to command troops and can be great generals.

No matter how good the trap camp is, it is only a battalion. It is impossible for the chief general of an army to serve as 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 troops 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 lieutenant has been appointed in the trapped camp is because those with sufficient talents and stronger ambitions naturally cannot remain in the trapped camp and become lieutenants. Those who have no ambition but insufficient talents, Gao Shun also

I don't like it. Being trapped in a 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 not difficult, but there are not many people who can actually do it. The battle of trapped camp

It is different from ordinary combat with troops of this scale, requiring more subtle control and battlefield insight.

"His condition is to allow our army to do more work?" 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 to me." Gao Shun bowed.

"You can't conquer people's hearts so straightforwardly." After Chen Mo understood the cause and effect, he 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, so he naturally agreed to him.

"Go and have a rest. As for whether this person can serve as a lieutenant 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 make it clear 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 by someone: "I have to see if he is worth the expense we have to spend.

thought."

"The general will understand." Gao Shun was obviously a little 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 show mercy." Chen Mo looked at Gao Shun and said with a smile.

Gao Shun thanked him, said goodbye 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 made overnight and ladders used 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. Outside, the Guanzhong Army was watching eagerly everywhere. 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 attack 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 family's private soldiers may not have even participated 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, but is orderly and in accordance with the rules.

On the map given by Chen Mo, each family gathered their forces to attack. Before attacking, they would first shoot a hail of arrows at them. As long as the selected mansion 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 fear, and then the officers and soldiers in Guanzhong climbed up the ladder. The officers and soldiers were under strict orders. 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.

It can withstand such an attack.

Last night, he was still a little restrained, but after receiving Chen Mo's order today, Zhang Ji started to attack with great ferocity, killing 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 happening.
