On a big stone not far from Sima Yi's big array, Xiahou Yuan crossed his waist with his hands and looked at the Bowang Valley, which was not very far away from him.

The valley is verdant, due to the escape of the Jingzhou army on the mountain in the past few days, Guan Yu compressed the deployment of the army, and mobilized all the soldiers to the top of the mountain.

It was precisely because the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Army were compressed on the whole line that Xiahou Yuan, who was standing on the big stone, could not see their defense.

Beside him, the cow stood straight and looked at the mountain, his eyes as if they were about to breathe flames.

Xiahou Yuan's stature is already very high, although Niu Zi's physique is also very burly, but Xiahou Yuan is standing on a stone after all, and he seems to be more than half a head taller than him.

After looking at the Bowang Valley for a while, Xiahou Yuan asked Niu Zi: "The Jingzhou army on the mountain, how is the defense?" ”

"Slack!" The situation on the mountain was very clear, Niu Zi almost didn't even think about it, and replied: "Although our army sent a lot of grain and grass to the mountain earlier, the Jingzhou army has no will to fight, if it weren't for this, there would not be so many people fleeing to the bottom of the mountain!" ”

It has been a day or two since I was greeted by Sima Yi and came here.

In the past two days, Xiahou Yuan did not appear in the barracks, but when he came, he had seen the barracks of many Jingzhou troops stationed.

There were thousands of Jingzhou troops in the barracks, and many of these Jingzhou troops were gathered in the rear of the Han army array, and it was obvious that the Jingzhou army on the mountain was on the verge of collapse at this time.

Convinced of Niu Zi's words, Xiahou Yuan asked again: "Where is it more appropriate for our army to go up the mountain?" ”

"Look, General!" Raising his hand and pointing towards a piece of jungle on the side of the mountain, Niu Zi said to Xiahou Yuan: "The mountains and forests over there are connected to the top of the mountain, if our army goes up the mountain from there, it will definitely be able to go straight to Guan Yu's army!" ”

Following the direction of Niu Zi's finger, Xiahou Yuan saw a mountain forest that was deeper than elsewhere.

The forest stretches from the base of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and the trees are indeed more luxuriant than in other places.

"Is it easy to walk there?" After thinking about it for a while, Xiahou Yuan then asked again.

"When the villain came down the mountain, it was from the other side!" Putting down his arm, Niu Zi looked up at Xiahou Yuan standing on the big stone, and said to him: "The forest is far away from each other, people and war horses can walk through it, but the war horses walk, the mountain road is steep, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" ”

Going up the mountain at night was not suitable for a cavalry raid in the first place, and Xiahou Yuan never thought of leading the cavalry up the mountain at all.

Knowing that there was a big gap between the trees there, he nodded and said to Niu Zi: "You go down and rest, and at night, General Ben will bring someone to look for you!" ”

In the evening, the Han army would attack the Jingzhou army on the mountain, Niu Zi bowed with his fists, saluted Xiahou Yuan, retreated two steps back, and turned to leave.

Looking at Niu Zi's back, until his figure disappeared from sight, Xiahou Yuan ordered to the soldiers on the side: "Select two thousand elite soldiers, tonight, I will wait to go up the mountain!" ”

The soldiers responded, turned around and quickly ran towards the Han army array led by Sima Yi.

Two thousand elite soldiers, for the Han army led by Sima Yi, the number is really not small.

The Han army besieging Gukou, because the Jingzhou army under Zhang Fei did not make any changes, they could not allocate troops and horses to accompany Xiahou Yuan up the mountain.

The only ones who could draw troops and horses were the Han army surrounding Guan Yu's Jingzhou army.

After receiving the order, the Han army immediately divided 2,000 soldiers and horses and moved closer to Sima Yi's Chinese army.

The Han army under the mountain is mobilizing, and the Jingzhou army on the top of the mountain has a clear grasp of their movements.

"General Qiqi!" Guan Yu sat on a big rock on the top of the mountain, looking at Zhang Fei's troops and horses stationed in the valley, a personal soldier ran behind him, hugged his fists and said to him: "The enemy army under the mountain has been mobilized!" ”

Knowing that the Han army under the mountain had moved, Guan Yu was taken aback, hurriedly stood up, waved his hand at the pro-soldier, and strode towards the place where the Han army could be seen.

When he arrived at the lookout, Guan Yu looked down the mountain.

From a distance, he saw the Han army besieging the foot of the mountain, and sure enough, there was a move.

Looking at the Han army that was being mobilized, Guan Yu's brows tightened.

He found that the direction of the Han army's movement was not to approach the foot of the mountain, nor to make a detour to other places, but that there was a Han army that was returning to their Chinese army.

On the top of the mountain, Guan Yu couldn't see how many people there were in that Han army, but from a distance, he felt that there were a lot of people.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help muttering a little in his heart, he didn't know what the significance of the Han army's transfer like this was.

Looking at the Han army that was being mobilized at the foot of the mountain, the pro-soldier standing beside Guan Yu subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The sound of the soldiers swallowing saliva was not loud, but beside Guan Yu, no half of the people spoke, and there was a quiet place around except for the mountain wind.

Clearly hearing the sound of the soldiers swallowing saliva, Guan Yu's brows furrowed slightly, and he turned his head to look at him.

was swept by Guan Yu's gaze, and the pro-soldier hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, lowered his head, and did not dare to face him directly.

Turning his head and glancing at the Jingzhou army on the top of the mountain, Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The grain and grass sent by the Han army were only enough to last for two more days, and the soldiers would fall into a situation of lack of food in two days.

If the Han army under the mountain continued to besiege, the only opportunity he and his soldiers could choose was to forcibly storm the defensive line laid out by the Han army.

On the top of the mountain, the officers and soldiers of Jingzhou sat or lay down, all of them looking listless.

Many of them did not flee from here like the Jingzhou army who came down the mountain and defected to the Han army to find a way out.

It's just that Guan Yu issued an order to compress all the Jingzhou troops on the top of the mountain, and they were watched all day long, and they wanted to escape, but they had no chance.

Lying on the ground, a Jingzhou soldier held a grass root in his mouth, and looked at the blue sky with blank eyes.

When they reached the top of the mountain, the heavens were still beautiful, and there was not a drop of rain for several days, so that the soldiers had less pain in the rain.

Looking at the sky, the grass roots in his mouth were chewed short little by little, and another Jingzhou soldier sitting on the side came over to him, pouted at Guan Yu, who was looking down the mountain a little farther away, and whispered: "What is General Guan looking at?" ”

Lying on the ground, his body was crooked, he glanced at Guan Yu who was standing on the top of the mountain, and the Jingzhou soldier, who was still holding the grassroots in his mouth, pouted, and muttered: "Who knows, Bacheng is going to let me wait for the mountain to die!" ”

Hearing that they were going to be sent down the mountain to death again, the Jingzhou soldiers sitting on the side looked around and whispered to the soldiers with a blade of grass in their mouths: "If you go down the mountain, the two of us will fall to the ground and pretend to be dead when they see the Han army shooting arrows?" ”

pursed his lips, and the Jingzhou soldier lying on the ground held the blade of grass in his mouth without saying a word.

It's not that he didn't want to escape down the mountain, but Guan Yu later guarded Jingzhou soldiers very strictly.

Whenever someone escaped, they must send their own soldiers to chase and kill, and many Jingzhou soldiers were killed by Guan Yu's own soldiers before they could flee to the bottom of the mountain.

Afraid of Guan Yu, the soldiers of the Jingzhou army on the mountain did not flee to the bottom of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the Han army under the mountain, Guan Yu's brows were always tightly locked.

After watching it for a long time, he only saw the Han army being transferred in the direction of the Chinese army, and he didn't see what their intentions were at all.

"Watch the enemy and see how they move!" Without understanding the intention of the Han army's mobilization, Guan Yu explained to a personal soldier behind him.

The soldiers responded, staying in a place where they could monitor the Han army, and they didn't dare to blink their eyes and look down the mountain.

Trapped on the mountain for many days, the Han army under the mountain treated the Jingzhou army down the mountain extremely well, the morale of the Jingzhou army soldiers has been extremely low, although many people are still on the mountain, Guan Yu has no doubt that once the Han army attacks, these people will not be able to share his hatred.

After explaining to his own soldiers, Guan Yu turned around and returned to the big stone where he was sitting just now, and looked down at the mountain.

In the valley, Zhang Fei's Jingzhou army was silent.

They had no intention of breaking through again, and the Han army outside the valley had no intention of entering the valley.

Sitting on the big rock, looking at Zhang Fei's Jingzhou army in the valley, Guan Yu knew very well that the reason why the Han army did not attack Zhang Fei was because he was still guarding the top of the mountain.

Once the top of the mountain is lost, Zhang Fei will be attacked by the Han army in the first place!

In front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, there are now only two roads left, one of which is to surrender to the Han army, and the other is to occupy the top of the mountain and the valley, and the Han army is dead.

surrendered to the Han army, he and Zhang Fei had nothing to do with Liu Bei from then on, and the Taoyuan rebellion of the year would also disappear due to surrender.

Defending the top of the mountain, it was only a matter of time when it was broken by the Han army.

Sighing softly, Guan Yu's heart was lonely!

For Liu Bei, the eldest brother, he really has some indescribable feelings.

Liu Bei abandoned them and fled alone, not once or twice.

It's just that this time, the situation he and Zhang Fei fell into was a place of death.

Thinking that Zhuge Liang swore that day and said to him and Zhang Fei that he would definitely be able to break the Han army this time, although he had doubts in his heart, he looked at Liu Bei's face and sent troops according to the strategy.

Now besieged by the Han army, although he and Zhang Fei already hate Zhuge Liang, they are suffering from being unable to break out of the encirclement, or Zhuge Liang's life.

Staring at the bottom of the mountain, Guan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a thought arose in his heart.

If he had the fate to leave Bowang this time and see Liu Bei, he would definitely draw his sword and kill Zhuge Liang on the spot!

"General Guan, the Han army seems to be moving again!" His eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood on the top of the mountain and watched the soldiers of the Han army under the mountain turn around and shouted loudly to him.

Hearing that the Han army had moved again, Guan Yu hurriedly stood up and strode towards the top of the hill where his soldiers were.
