In fact, Huaxing can also understand Duan Hongguang's "confession".

After all, in this era, most of the soldiers in the army have no loyalty at all, and everyone is here for the military salary of a few taels a year.

For the sake of some silver, they don't even want their lives, and they can't say anything.

So in this matter, Huaxing never thought about punishing him.

But there is one thing he has never been able to accept, that is, this person is not only full of lies, but also reverses black and white, and instead of saying that he is a combat hero!

This kind of behavior really made Hua Xing very ashamed and disgusted, so he drove Duan Hongguang out of the military tent on the spot, not wanting to talk nonsense with him anymore.

Three hours later, it was completely dark.

As usual, the soldiers in the battalion sang "Unity is Strength" first, and then returned to the camp, apparently planning to rest.

But today, Huaxing uncharacteristically did not enter the account, but held a torch and dangled with Tang Sheng in the barracks.

After inspecting every campfire, Hua and Tang came to the front of the camp and sat on the ground around a campfire.

"All deployed?" Hua Xing raised his eyes and looked halfway up the mountain, and asked softly.

"Hmmm! By this time, the soldiers had begun to evacuate, and in half an hour they would all be in place. ”

Nodding, Hua Xing said again: "What about the situation in the camp?" ”

"Only one patrol remained."

"Very well, let's wait for news." With a smile on his chin, Hua Xing closed his eyes and recuperated.

……

At the same time, the enemy army was inside the cottage.

Hearing the neat singing sound coming from the bottom of the mountain again, Gong Du, who was sitting in the hall, stood up on the spot and scolded with a violent face:

"He's NND, these guys are so calm! Knowing that we are going to sneak attack tonight, if we don't retreat, we don't talk, and we still fucking sing? It's really terrible, huh? Brother, do you think it could be that the old boy didn't convey the news in place? ”

In contrast, Liu Bi blew the teacup in his hand unhurriedly, and said with a smile:

"People are all back, how can it not be conveyed? Brother Gong, I told you earlier, the other party came prepared. Hehe, you should trust me now, right? ”

To tell the truth, it is indeed very strange that there are only a thousand remnants of soldiers, who know that the enemy army is going to make a surprise attack but refuse to withdraw their troops.

If the other party didn't rely on it, Gong Du himself didn't believe it.

But let him give up the attempt so easily, Gong Du was not very reconciled, so he shook his head and replied:

"Brother, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just, it's just...... Alas! Anyway, I'm still going to go down the mountain later, and if I don't see it with my own eyes, I don't feel comfortable. ”

Seeing that he still couldn't stop the other party, Liu Bi could only sigh:

"Alas! Okay, but you have to be careful, once you find an ambush, retreat quickly, don't dare to be covered by the other party! ”

"Don't worry, Brother Liu, then I'll go and prepare."

After speaking, Gong Du hurriedly left the hall, took advantage of the night to order a thousand soldiers, and quietly left the cottage.

……

After being kicked out of the big tent by Huaxing, Duan Hongguang returned to the medical tent.

As soon as he sat on the bed, he unconsciously let out a long sigh.

Obviously, he was very disappointed with the current situation, and he also had the idea of becoming a deserter.

Because on the one hand, his lies have been seen through by Huaxing.

Even if the other party doesn't punish himself, then he will have to be infamous as a "traitor" in the future, and staying here will only be looked down upon;

On the other hand, Huaxing also clearly told him that they would not withdraw their troops.

If he continues in this direction, if he stays in the camp, he is afraid that it will be difficult to see the sun the next day.

Therefore, under the combined influence of these two aspects, Duan Hongguang decided to leave the barracks that night and become a real "deserter".

But seeing that it was still early at the moment, he would probably be discovered if he walked like this, so he decided to take a nap first, and then leave secretly when it was completely dark.

But as a result, just like the last time he went out to investigate, he slept for six hours this time.

When I woke up, it was almost ugly, and the enemy could enter the camp at any moment.

Duan Hongguang hurriedly got up from the bed, and while secretly scolding himself for being too good at sleeping, he walked out of the medical tent and walked quickly to the south with the help of crutches.

But after walking for about ten meters, he suddenly found that today's camp was unusually quiet.

Although all the tents were lit and the campfires were lit, there was no "popularity" at all.

Not only was there no sound of talking or footsteps, but even the snoring that was going on a daily basis disappeared.

With doubts in his heart, Duan Hongguang opened more than ten tents one after another, all of which were empty.

Seeing this scene, he was instantly dumbfounded, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart:

Didn't you say not to retreat?

Why is there no one now?

Could it be that Huaxing has backtracked?

Ah! This is too bad, won't the old man be the only soldier in the battalion?

No, no, I've got to get out of here!

Thinking of this, Duan Hongguang immediately stopped searching and walked towards the edge of the camp step by step with a cane.

But after walking for two or three minutes, he stopped again.

Because he found that directly in front of him, that is, at the front of the barracks, there were actually two people sitting.

Looking at it, he knew both of them, and it was the two of them he was most reluctant to see at this time - Hua Xing and Tang Sheng.

Seeing this, Duan Hongguang hurriedly turned around, wanting to avoid them.

But unfortunately, there were no people in the barracks, let alone any sound.

Walking on crutches, he attracted the attention of Hua Xing and Tang Sheng on the spot, and before he could take a step, he heard Hua Xing's voice coming from behind his ears:

"Yo? Isn't that old? Where are you going? ”

Hearing this, Duan Hongguang could only turn around again, and said with an embarrassed face:

"Uh, I, I'......"

"Alright, alright, don't leave since you're here! Come, come, come with us and wait for the raid! ”

It stands to reason that there should be no one in the camp at this moment, Duan Hongguang's sudden appearance surprised Hua Xing and Tang Sheng, so they called each other over on the spot.

Although Duan Hongguang wanted to escape from here, because of Huaxing's identity, he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only secretly say that he was unlucky, and walked towards Huaxing and Tang Sheng.

"Elder Duan, don't you have a mission tonight?" As soon as Duan Hongguang sat down, Hua Xing frowned and asked.

"Task? What task? ”

Seeing that the other party didn't know the task, Huaxing looked suspicious.

But soon he remembered that from last night to now, Duan Hongguang has been in the medical tent.

When assigning the task, he must have missed it, so he didn't know what the task was.

"Oh, that might be because you were hurt and forgot to inform you."

After nodding slightly, he saw Hua Xing asking with a smile:

"It's so late, where are you going? If you want to go, why not go earlier? ”

"I—Why should I go?"

Hearing this, Duan Hongguang's complexion changed suddenly, but he would definitely not admit it easily, and immediately defended:

"I'm just, just...... It's just a small solution! ”
