Ten Capitals, Nine Observations, Eight Poles, Seven Yuans, Six Divisions, Five Elders Compete for Da

Chapter 3 Curse lifted!

Most of the peasants come from peasant households, and peasants are often the most cunning group in the world.

Because they are the most exploited, they can often make various judgments that are beneficial to survival and have nothing to do with good or evil within the scope of existing knowledge. This is the instinct and wisdom they have accumulated since their survival.

Chen Buhung's eyes lit up, and he said with great joy:
"Yeah, burn the grain carts around, and those cavalry won't waste time with us."

Jiang Chen nodded and added, "No matter how strong a war horse is, it is still a beast. It has the instinct to fear flames. If it burns the surrounding grain carts, it will shrink back."

At this time.

A young civilian man shrank back, showing his timid nature of fear of military law, and cowardly said:
"If discovered by state soldiers..."

The voice just fell.

Jiang Chen glanced at him coldly and stopped speaking.

Silence is gold,

It is also a sharp blade for killing!

at once,

Then there was a tall and strong peasant man who understood and took the initiative to play the villain for Jiang Chen. He approached the young peasant man like a humanoid beast, and said with a ferocious face:
"Xiao Wu, if you dare to speak out, as long as one of us survives and returns to the village, we will kill your whole family!"

"Remember, he lives in Huting, Bailing Township, Pingshou County, Qingzhou. He has an old mother and two young and beautiful sisters at home."

The rest of the folks also looked calm, snatched the fire bag from the foolish cook, handed it to the folks called "Xiao Wu", and said in unison:

"you first."

His tone was extremely cold and cruel, as if if he didn't do it, he would really kill Xiao Wu's family!

"I...I know."

With a face full of grievances, Xiao Wu blew on the torch, and when a black-robed cavalry galloped by, he rushed to the back of one of the grain carts and set it on fire.

At first glance.

It was as if the black-robed cavalry had burned these grain carts without incident, but it was a bit of quick-wittedness.

The rest of the civilian husbands, including Chen Buhung and Gao Zhuang, were also under the supervision of the rest of the people, and they all became accomplices in arson.

boom!
More than a dozen grain trucks were ignited together, and thick smoke rose. Looking down from a height, it looked like a big fire circle surrounding these peasants.

All the peasants tore strips of cloth from their bodies one after another, soaked them and covered their mouths and noses.

A certain civilian husband who was threatening Xiao Wu just now, turned around and saw Jiang Chen, changed his expression in an instant, offered his wet cloth strips, and said with a smile on his face:
"Boss, please use it."

In the circle of folk husbands, the leader is usually called "Boss". When this word comes out, it seems that Jiang Chen, who is "brainy" and "able to communicate with ghosts and gods", is regarded as the leader among the crowd.

"Thank you."

Jiang Chen took the wet cloth with a smile, but felt a little disgust in his heart, and couldn't help but think of a classic line:
"The so-called leader is nothing more than a running dog who was kidnapped to the highest point by the forces!"

In terms of survival wisdom and ferocity, he didn't have the confidence to compete with these civilians. He just had some more scientific and cultural knowledge and the unique way of thinking of modern people.

Once he shows his timidity, he will inevitably end up like Xiao Wu!

Do not!
His current fate is thousands of times more dangerous than Xiao Wu's!
Jiang Chen felt bitter in his heart, and secretly said:
"How can you gain the loyalty of these civilians with just one or two suggestions?"

"Once the arson and burning of food is leaked, I, as the nominal culprit, will die without a place to die. On the contrary, they, at least, have the possibility of being relegated to military slaves and saving their lives..."

Think about this.

Jiang Chen felt ruthless in his heart,
from now on,

Even if you are pretending to be a strong man, a wise man, or a leader, you have to pretend to be more like it!
…………

The flames were blazing, and the sky was filled with thick smoke.

The black-robed cavalry passing by all mistakenly thought that the cart formation where Jiang Chen and others were located had been breached by other companions, so they rushed to other grain carts to kill and set fire to them, without realizing that there were more than [-] trembling peasants hiding in the formation. .

Here, it has almost become the only Taoyuan in the battlefield.

Although all the husbands were burned by the smoke, no one was injured. They looked at Jiang Chen with more and more admiration.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Jiang Chen silently snapped his fingers, counting the time.

A cup of tea lasts 15 minutes, and about 10 minutes have passed since the awakening of "life, death, misfortune, blessing".

In other words.

After waiting another four or five minutes at most, the "Lieutenant in Charge of Grain" will wake up from the curse and lead the remnants of the defeated army to repel the Loulan cavalry.

In other words, the root cause of the low morale of the soldiers in Qingzhou just now, and their vulnerability to a single blow, was that the general had suddenly suffered an unknown curse and suddenly fell into a coma.

Once you wake up, the offensive and defensive momentum will change!

At that time,

It's also a great opportunity for people like me to wave the flag and shout, fight the wind, and get a piece of credit for nothing!

Think about this.

Jiang Chen asked in a low voice:

"Who has sharp eyes, check to see if there are scattered weapons outside?"

All the folks shook their heads one after another, and they were unwilling to show their heads at this dangerous moment. "The rafters in the early days rot first." This is the truth that even children can understand.

but never thought,

Xiao Wu, who was squeezed into the corner by many civilians, suddenly stood up and said:

"Boss, I would like to go."

Everyone showed a look of surprise.

Jiang Chen nodded:

"Very well, proceed with caution."

Done.

Xiao Wu bowed his waist, carefully approached several grain trucks with weaker flames, and looked around in the gaps between the cars.

pity.

Got nothing.

Afterwards, he gritted his teeth, ventured closer to several other grain trucks that were on fire, and carefully observed whether there were scattered weapons outside. Then, as if he had found something, he turned back quickly, and reported to Jiang Chen:
"Boss, to the southwest, about ten feet away, there are five corpses with weapons on them."

"Thanks for your hard work."

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth rose slightly, and he patted Xiao Wu's shoulder.

see.

Xiao Wu immediately regained his energy and sat calmly among the crowd.

The rest of the people also smiled and praised Xiao Wu's courage. Only the tall and strong man curled his lips and said with disdain on his face:

"What kind of skill is this?"

heard.

Before anyone else could speak, Jiang Chen revealed an angry look, and immediately scolded:

"Without weapons, we are just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. If you really have the ability, you can rush out and get those weapons. I respect you for being a man."

Gao Zhuang was speechless for a moment.

Chen Buhung laughed and talked about some nasty jokes, which eased the atmosphere.

An old house where a treasure.

The elderly have always been the lubricant of society, groups, and families. Once the elderly are lost, internal conflicts will inevitably intensify rapidly!
Jiang Chen shook his head, and continued to count seconds in his mind, "Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight... three, two, one stick of incense has passed, the captain who is in charge of food, at this time... should have awakened from the curse", and then Opened the mouth and said:

"Is there anyone willing to come with me to get back those weapons outside? If you are willing to go, raise your hand."
