Chapter 140: If you can't beat them, join them; Horizontal Training [Shen Zhao Army]

The Mohist School naturally had no spies in the court, but the movement of Wang Ben leading the army was still noticed by someone with ulterior motives.

Along the way, there were spies from the farming family or the Mohist school. Chen Mo and others also deduced the purpose of Wang Ben's army based on the direction of its march.

At this time, inside the farmhouse, a group of senior officials were worried.

Tian Hu said worriedly, "Ayan, it was extremely difficult for us to repel Wang Li's 30,000 troops before. Now Wang Ben is leading 50,000 troops again. I'm afraid we may not be able to defeat him. What do you think we should do?"

Tian Yan also frowned, but she did not express her opinion immediately. Instead, she looked at Han Xin who was not far away: "Han Xin, you made a great contribution to repel the Qin army last time. I also know that you have outstanding military talents. In your opinion, how should we deal with it this time?"

"As the military strategists say, one must be careful in the area of ​​life and death!
The last time we were able to repel the Qin army, it was because of our geographical advantage. Now that the Qin army has made a comeback, it will certainly learn from previous lessons. It is obviously impossible for us to make the Qin army fall twice in the same place.

But Han Xin believed that: Warfare is a matter of deception!
Rather than passively defending, it’s better to take the initiative!
First of all, we can kill them by surprise!
Secondly, we can take advantage of the new terrain and make all their original preparations go to waste.

Thirdly, the battlefield has been moved outside the farm. If something really happens, the impact on our own territory will not be that great. Even if we really lose, we will have some time to prepare for evacuation!" Han Xin said.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and Zhu Jia even praised: "Brother Han Xin, what you said is very true. After hearing what you said, I suddenly feel that Wang Ben's army is not that great!"

Liu Ji wanted to say that it is you, Han Xin, who has to take charge at the critical moment, but when he looked at Tian Yan and the six elders sitting at the top, he still didn't dare to say it, for fear of offending Tian Yan!

Tian Yan nodded: "Okay, let's do as Han Xin said, then everyone go back and prepare!"

Everyone left, but half an hour later Han Xin came back. Tian Yan was surprised and asked, "Han Xin, what else do you want?"

Han Xin said in a deep voice: "With your wisdom, you must understand that my plan just now was just to calm people's hearts.

As we know, Wang Ben was a famous general of the Qin State, and he must have thought of this. Moreover, because of Wang Li's previous failure, he would be more cautious. The so-called ambush might not be useful, and he would still have to fight a real battle with real swords and guns.

We have a hundred thousand disciples in the Farmers' Sect, but we have never been properly trained, and our battle formations are not coordinated well. Once the two armies confront each other, I'm afraid we will have little chance of winning against the elite cavalry of Qin!"

Tian Yan knew that Han Xin was still being conservative. What do you mean it's hard to win? To put it bluntly, the peasant disciples are only suitable for fighting in favorable situations. If they are in unfavorable situations, they will probably collapse without a fight. They are just a bunch of rabble!
"So, what you mean?" Tian Yan asked.

"Han Xin heard that Lord Chen Mo once defeated Meng Tian's army with a song. I wonder if we can ask Lord Chen Mo to take action?" Han Xin said bluntly.

He was one of the few people who knew the relationship between Chen Mo and Tian Yan. Otherwise, he would not have been so respectful to Tian Yan.

As for why he didn't go to Chen Mo for help? Of course he knew he wasn't good enough!

"Okay, I got it. I will tell him about this!" To be honest, Tian Yan has been a little jealous since Chen Mo took the girls over. She has been avoiding Chen Mo intentionally or unintentionally during this period, but now it is related to the life and death of the Nong family, so she has to take the initiative to find Chen Mo.

That night, in the largest room in the Mohist residence.

Chen Mo was checking Jingwei's body when suddenly the door opened.

Crunch!

Without turning around, Chen Mo knew who it was and teased, "Hey, isn't this our sister Xia Kui? What brings you here?"

He had discovered Tian Yan a long time ago. Even if Chen Mo had not deliberately allowed it, outsiders would not be able to push open the door.

Not only that, Chen Mo had already guessed that Tian Yan would come and knew her purpose. After all, the two sides almost shared information. The first to be hit this time were the farmers, so it would be strange if this girl didn't come to find him.

For this girl, Chen Mo even specially asked Jingwei to sleep with him.

"Ah~"

As a mother, Jingwei was so ashamed and angry to be caught in such a scene by her daughter. What made her even more embarrassed was that she actually let out a moan at an inappropriate time.

Tian Yan didn't expect that there would be such a scene in the room. He couldn't hear any noise outside before!
Her face was also flushed at this time. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Chen Mo shouting, "I'm in a good mood right now. If you have something to ask me at this time, I'm more likely to agree!"

Tian Yan stopped walking abruptly, and said with a look of shame and anger: "You did this on purpose, didn't you? You knew I was coming? That's why you~"

Before she could finish, Chen Mo interrupted, "So what if it is? So what if it isn't? In fact, both of you have already seen it, right? You just didn't point it out!"

After hearing this, Jingwei and Tian Yan were silent, not knowing how to refute.

a few hours later

Jingwei and Tian Yan both lay in Chen Mo's arms. Tian Yan said unhappily, "Are you satisfied now?"

Chen Mo nodded: "I know why you are here, don't worry, I will take action!
Moreover, this is also a good training opportunity for us. Elite soldiers can only be trained on a real battlefield!"

A month later, in a valley dozens of kilometers away from Dongjun.

Two armies were confronting each other, one was Wang Ben's army, and the other was the [Shenzhao Army] led by Dian Qing.

In terms of numbers, Wang Ben had 50,000 men, while Dian Qing had only 5,000.

On the cliff, Han Xin murmured, "Five thousand against fifty thousand, can it really succeed?"

Tian Yan also said: "Although Senior Dian Qing's [Shen Zhao Army] has practiced the horizontal training method, they have only been practicing for a short time. I am afraid it is not enough to deal with Wang Ben's army? Isn't this too risky?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if we fail. Aren't there other special forces arranged by Han Xin? What's more, the [Shen Zhao Army] may not lose!"

While they were discussing this, the armies of both sides in the valley below attacked each other.

The Qin crossbow was famous throughout the world. After a round of intensive shooting, many [Shenzhao Army] were seriously injured, but more [Shenzhao Army] fought bravely and killed the enemy without fear of death.

Wang Ben sneered at this: "Oh, the Henglian Army? Don't say you are just beginners, even if you are veterans, you will die here!"

Fire, flooding, poison, there are plenty of ways to deal with you!
Just when Wang Ben was feeling proud, he heard his deputy general exclaim, "How... How is this possible?" Seeing him lose his composure, Wang Ben quickly looked in the direction of his gaze and soon his eyes widened as well.

The [Shen Zhao Army] that had been shot and fell to the ground by crossbow arrows suddenly stood up with a red glow and joined the battle sequence.

This is not the most incredible thing. The most incredible thing is that many of the [Shen Zhao Army] who should have been killed by slitting their necks, had their wounds on their necks healed visibly under the red light.

Not only the Qin army below was shocked, but even Han Xin and Tian Yan on the cliff were extremely shocked.

Han Xin and Tian Yan thought: Could this be the reason why Dian Qing came back to life? How could it be so miraculous? No, it was terrifying. Who in the world could resist such an immortal army?

Tian Yan was fine, but the impact on Han Xin was huge. He suddenly felt that the military strategies he was so proud of might have been learned in vain. No matter how many schemes and tricks he had, he would be vulnerable in front of such a large army.

After coming to their senses, the two looked at Chen Mo with eyes full of admiration: keeping so many people alive at the same time, this is the way of God!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Wang Ben saw that there were already one or two thousand casualties on his side, so he hurriedly gave the order.

Although you can defeat the opponent, but the opponent gets up and attacks you the next moment, how can you play? Even a large army will be dragged to death by this group of monsters!

Fire and flooding should be able to deal with this group of monsters, but unfortunately we are not well prepared this time and I am afraid it cannot be implemented. The only option now is to retreat first!
Seeing the Qin army fleeing in panic, the people of the [Shen Zhao Army] were extremely excited and were about to give chase, but they received an order from Chen Mo to stop advancing.

Dian Qing was puzzled and asked, "Master, why don't you pursue the victory?"

"As the saying goes, don't chase a desperate enemy. How do you know they didn't deliberately lure you into a trap? What if they burn you to ashes? I can't save you!" Chen Mo explained.

Dian Qing was a little disappointed: "Ah? If it turns into ashes, it can't be saved?"

Chen Mo rolled his eyes: Do you really think I’m a god?
Seeing that Han Xin and Tian Yan seemed to be deep in thought, Chen Mo was not afraid that they would spread the weakness of the [Shen Zhao Army]. After all, everyone would know about this sooner or later. Moreover, knowing a weakness and being able to actually attack it are two different things. Do you really think that the commander is a good-for-nothing who can be burned or drowned by you?
【Shen Zhao Jing】

A blinding red light appeared, covering the bodies of the killed Qin soldiers. Tian Yan asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

"There are two ways to destroy the enemy's manpower. One is to really destroy it, and the other is to make the enemy's manpower become my manpower!

And what I am doing now is the latter!" Chen Mo explained.

Han Xin's eyes lit up and he praised, "Your Excellency is wise. I admire you!

In this way, we are effectively picking up thousands of elite soldiers for free!"

Chen Mo smiled and nodded. Then, in front of everyone's witness, all the Qin soldiers who were supposed to be dead, except for those who were chopped to pieces, were resurrected.

A Qin soldier asked in bewilderment: "What's wrong with me?"

"Ah? There are enemies, be on guard!" A Qin soldier also saw the [Shen Zhao Army] and said with a vigilant look.

"No, wasn't I dead? Why am I still alive?" Some Qin soldiers also said in disbelief.

At this moment, Chen Mo's voice, empowered by his inner strength, reached the ears of every Qin soldier: "You are not mistaken, you did die, but now you are resurrected, and it was me who resurrected you!

I'm sure you've seen the magic that happened to the [Shinzhao Army] before? That's right, the same method was used to resurrect you!
Do you think you can defeat such a [Shen Zhao Army]?
Since you can't beat them, then just join us. As long as you choose to join us, you will also be blessed with such magical power!"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Chen Mo continued, "You have already died in the previous war. You have already served the Qin State loyally. You don't owe the Qin State anything!

Moreover, even if you go back now, do you think Wang Ben will still trust you? He will think you are spies, that you are going back to confuse the army, and he may even behead you in public!
So, think carefully about what choice you want to make! "

Hearing this, many Qin soldiers looked at each other with expressions of struggle, but some felt that what Chen Mo said made sense. If they couldn't win, they should join. It was better than going back to die. And if they refused, they might die before they even got back!
Soon, the first Qin soldier chose to join. After the first, there were two. Soon, all the Qin soldiers chose to join. Those who refused to join were beaten into a bloody mist by Chen Mo on the spot and could not be resurrected!
the other side

Wang Ben's army retreated ten miles before stopping. Everyone looked unhappy. Facing such an immortal army was more demoralizing than suffering a defeat.

Wang Ben noticed this negative emotion at the first time. In order to ease the tension of the army, he rarely lifted the ban on alcohol for one night.

In the handsome tent

Wang Ben cursed: "Wang Li, that stinky boy, the peasant family had such a large army, but he didn't tell me, causing me to suffer such a big loss!

And Shadow Secret Guard and Luowang, aren't they said to be omnipresent? How come they didn't find out such important information at all?"

The deputy general advised: "General, perhaps General Wang Li didn't know that such a large army existed at the time? After all, given the terrifying nature of this army, if they had really taken action at that time, I'm afraid General Wang Li would have suffered even greater losses!
As for the Shadow Secret Guard and Luowang, we cannot control them. For now, we have to find a way to deal with this army. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to His Majesty when he blames us later!"

Wang Ben nodded, and then ordered: "Send someone to prepare more hay in case of emergency. I don't believe that the fire can't burn those people to death!"

The deputy general worriedly said: "General, we have stored too much hay. What if the enemy takes the opportunity to use fire attack on us? Then~"

Hearing this, Wang Ben was also shocked. He was only thinking about how to deal with the enemy and forgot that others could also deal with him in the same way. Don't really get yourself into trouble!

Wang Ben thought for a while before saying, "Let's build a canal nearby. There will be enough water for protection. Even if there is a fire, there won't be much damage!"

After the deputy general took the order and left, Wang Ben began to worry again. Should he submit the information about the [Shenzhao Army]?
Once it is presented to His Majesty, will he believe it? After all, even the Shadow Secret Guards and Luowang have not found out about this army. If I report it truthfully without evidence, I am afraid that I will be attacked by my political enemies!

But if I don't report it, what if the Shadow Secret Guards and Luowang find out and accuse me of concealing it?
After thinking for a long time, Wang Ben decided to get rid of this army first. If he could get rid of this army, even if the emperor knew that he had concealed the truth later, he would not blame him!

A few days later
Wang Ben's army met the Shenzhao Army again.

Wang Ben shouted, "You rebels, do you really think that you can deal with my imperial army with some weird tricks? This hay is prepared for you. If you don't want to die, kneel down and surrender honestly, otherwise don't blame me for setting you on fire!"

Seeing more than a dozen carts of hay, Dian Qing showed a trace of fear on his face, but he said: "It's not certain who will be burned to death in the end!"

After he finished speaking, hundreds of archers walked out from behind him, drew their bows and arrows, and shot hundreds of flaming arrows at the hay.
