Chapter 1411: It's better to surrender
The Jingzhou army, which galloped over on horseback, restrained the war horse when it was still more than ten steps away from Liu Bei.
Turning over and jumping off the horse, he ran towards Liu Bei quickly.
When Liu Bei approached, he clasped his hands into fists and bowed down and said, "Uncle Qiqi, it's not a good thing!" β
The soldiers of the Jingzhou army who reported the news shouted "The big thing is not good", which made Liu Bei's heart suddenly tighten, and he only thought that the Han army had caught up.
"What's the matter?" Before Liu Bei could ask, Zhuge Liang had already pointed at him with a feather fan and asked aloud.
Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the soldiers said to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang: "General Guan and General Zhang were intercepted by the Han army in the Bowang Valley and could not get out!" β
Knowing that it was only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were besieged in Bowang Valley, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
However, the two brothers are besieged, and as the eldest brother, he will definitely not be completely unexpressed.
Riding on horseback, when the Jingzhou army said that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were besieged, Liu Bei covered his chest and made a chest suffocation movement, and his eyes were instantly filled with tears.
"Second brother! Third brother! Maybe he felt that the action of covering his chest was a little out of tune with crying, Liu Bei hurriedly covered his face with both hands, rode on horseback, and howled loudly: "I can't stand you for my brother!" β
"Uncle Huang!" Liu Bei cried loudly, and Zhuge Liang on the side said comfortingly: "General Guan and General Zhang have the courage of ten thousand people, and they will definitely not break through, Uncle Huang just needs to move forward, presumably it won't take long for the two generals to catch up with Uncle Huang!" β
Zhuge Liang opened his words to persuade him, but Liu Bei cried more and more sadly.
As he was crying, a fast horse came running in the distance.
This time, the cavalry soldiers on horseback did not dismount more than ten steps away from Liu Bei, but rode straight to a place only two or three steps away from him.
Because the war horse galloped too fast, when the Jingzhou army reined in the horse, the two front hooves of the war horse were raised high, and there was a long neigh, and the front hooves fell heavily to the ground.
Stopping the war horse, the Jingzhou army on horseback hugged his fist towards Liu Bei, and said with a panicked expression: "Uncle Qiqi, there are more than 1,000 enemy troops, and they are quickly following our army!" β
was howling loudly, and suddenly heard that more than a thousand Han soldiers were following him, Liu Bei immediately stopped howling, and hurriedly shouted to the Jingzhou army behind him: "Hurry up!" β
With a shout, Liu Bei didn't give the Jingzhou soldiers a chance to react at all, shook the reins, and rode his horse to the southeast.
Seeing him riding his horse away, Zhuge Liang and more than 500 Jingzhou soldiers who followed him all the way also immediately shook the reins, and their legs couldn't stop clamping the belly of the war horse, urging the war horse to speed up.
More than 500 fast horses, galloping all the way to the southeast, Liu Bei, who led the team, had no time to take care of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei anymore, and only hated that the war horse under his crotch was running too slowly, so that he could not completely get rid of the danger given by the Han army.
Liu Bei led more than 500 Jingzhou troops to gallop all the way to the southeast, but Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who were besieged in Bowang, could only look at each other from a mountain to a mountain.
Accepting the grain and grass sent by the Han army, the two did not have to worry about the lack of food in the army for the time being.
However, although the Han army said that the grain and grass sent, the encirclement was not relaxed at all, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu tried to break through several times, but in the end they all ended in leaving many soldiers behind and the wolf withdrawing.
Sitting on a big stone at the top of the mountain, Guan Yu looked at the soldiers and horses of Zhang Fei's troops stationed in the valley from time to time.
Located on the top of the valley, he could clearly see the movements of Zhang Fei's troops and horses, and he could also vaguely distinguish the casualties of the Jingzhou cavalry.
There were 5,000 Jingzhou cavalry who came to Bowang earlier, and after these few days of fighting, there were only more than 2,000 people left by Zhang Fei's side.
Looking at Zhang Fei's department at the bottom of the mountain, and then at the soldiers and horses led by his family to the top of the mountain, Guan Yu sighed in his heart.
A total of 15,000 Jingzhou troops originally wanted to introduce the Han army into the valley to be exterminated, but they never thought that they were surrounded by the Han army, and even evacuation was a luxury.
Guan Yu on the top of the mountain sighed in his heart, but Zhang Fei under the mountain was even more irritable than before.
There is no shortage of food and grass in the army, and Zhang Fei does not have to worry about the soldiers going hungry, but in the long run, the morale of the soldiers will fall into a minimum point that cannot be improved again due to the siege.
Morale has fallen to the limit, and this team will be ineffective in front of the Han army!
In order not to make the morale of the soldiers fall too quickly, Zhang Fei launched several attacks on the Han army at the exit of the valley.
Every time he attacked, the officers and men of the Jingzhou Army under his command would suffer great losses.
The Han army outside the valley, if they swarmed in, with the cavalry of the Jingzhou army under Zhang Fei in the valley, they would be unable to resist at all.
Their army was wiped out by the Han army, but it was only a matter of time.
With his hands on his waist, looking at the end of the valley, Zhang Fei's black face was even darker and shiny, and it was terrifying.
"Someone!" After a long moment, he finally shouted behind him.
When one of his own soldiers heard the shout, he hurriedly ran behind him, clenched his fists and waited for him to give an order.
"Attack Taniguchi again!" Looking at the direction of Taniguchi, the green tendons at Zhang Fei's temples were beating suddenly, his lips trembled slightly, and he gave an order to the soldier.
After receiving the order, the soldiers answered, turned around and ran towards the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who had just launched a failed charge.
After receiving the order to break through again, the officers and men of the Jingzhou Army, who had lost much courage, stood up lazily.
Those who still had war horses stepped on their horses, and those who had lost their war horses clutched the blades in their hands and waited for the order to charge together with their comrades on horseback.
With the sound of a bang, Zhang Fei's Han army once again launched a charge against the Han army at the mouth of the valley.
The qiΔ they did was all under the eyes of Guan Yu sitting on the top of the mountain.
Seeing that the Jingzhou army in the valley launched another attack on the Han army, Guan Yu also shouted behind him: "Give the order immediately, the army will go down the mountain!" β
Guan Yu has also issued the same order many times.
The Jingzhou army, which had tried to break through many times, was forced back to the mountain by the Han army's tight crossbow arrows every time it rushed to the bottom of the hill, seeing that it was about to kill the Han army's soldiers in front of the formation.
Guan Yu gave the order to go down the mountain, and the soldiers of the Jingzhou army, who did not have much hope for going down the mountain, stood up one after another.
As he was marching down the mountain road, a Jingzhou soldier whispered to the Jingzhou army walking beside him: "I will wait for this to rush and retreat, it will not be long before I am afraid that I will be killed by the enemy!" β
Knowing that what his companion said was not bad, the other Jingzhou soldier sighed softly, and also lowered his voice and said: "I don't know which brothers will be shot by the enemy when they rush down the mountain this time!" β
Thinking of the scenes that rushed to the foot of the mountain, the two Jingzhou soldiers couldn't help but feel lonely in their hearts.
With this suicidal charge, the officers and men of the Jingzhou army had no idea that they still had a chance to break out of the encirclement.
"I say!" Following the team, walking down the mountain, the Jingzhou soldier who spoke first glanced at the other Jingzhou soldiers on the side, thinking that no one was paying attention to him, so he suppressed his voice to the extreme, and said to the Jingzhou army beside him: "This time I go down the mountain, if I don't wait to surrender to the enemy, maybe I can still die!" β
He said that he intended to surrender to the Han army, and the other Jingzhou army on the side was stunned and hurriedly looked at him.
Before he could attack the enemy, this companion of his thought of surrendering to the Han army, and it was obvious that the idea of surrendering to the Han army had been going on for a long time.
Turning his head to look at the companion who proposed this Jianyi, the Jingzhou soldier didn't dare to say anything.
If such words were to be heard, I am afraid that he and his companions who did this would be beheaded and ended up in a different place.
didn't dare to respond to his companions, but this Jingzhou army was scheming in his heart.
rushed down the mountain like this, was shot by the Han army, and then retreated to the top of the mountain, and went back and forth, and sooner or later he would be shot.
Both horizontal and vertical are dead, and if you surrender to the Han army, you may still be able to get a way out, but it is better than going back and forth on the mountains and being shot by the Han army as a live target.
With a plan in his heart, the Jingzhou soldier whispered to his companion: "Let's talk about it when we go down the mountain, how to do it then, and see what the situation is!" β
The Jingzhou army, who proposed to mention yì, nodded and did not say anything more.
From his companion's answer, he could tell that Tiyì was also recognized by his companion.
People are like this sometimes, and the idea of surrendering to Cheng has been calculated many times in the heart of this Jingzhou army.
It's just that there is no one to accompany him, and he doesn't dare to do that alone.
Now that he has a companion who is willing to surrender to the Han army with him, his courage is also a lot greater, and when he reaches the foot of the mountain, he waits until the Han army shoots arrows, and then lies on the ground, only waiting for others to retreat to the mountain and then surrender to the Han army, and finally becomes the goal to be implemented.
Following the team slowly, every ten or so steps, the two Jingzhou troops who had already thought of surrendering would look at each other.
They only knew that they had thought of this, but they didn't know that there were not a few Jingzhou soldiers walking in the team who had the same idea.
In the Jingzhou army column that marched towards the bottom of the mountain, the soldiers had their own ideas in their hearts, and marched towards the mountain at a speed that was not very fast.
After walking for more than half of the way, I could already see the Han army and the soldiers of the Jingzhou army who were fighting under the mountain, all of them clenched their fists.
Many of them, when they saw the Han army, even let out a long sigh, as if the Han army was the end of their nightmare, able to lead them out of the nightmare.
The team was getting closer and closer to the foot of the mountain, and the soldiers of the Jingzhou army on the march blocked their shields in front of them, and their eyes glanced at the Han army at the foot of the mountain from the side of the shield.
The soldiers of the Han army who were in battle at the foot of the mountain, seeing that the Jingzhou army had come down the mountain again, flattened the crossbow one by one.
The sharp arrows were aimed at the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who were marching down the mountain, and there was no nervousness in the eyes of the soldiers of the Han Army.
