Holding the battlements in his hands and looking at the moat outside the city, Liu Wei's brain was running rapidly, thinking about how to climb down the city wall with Guan Qing unknowingly.

Yuyang is a big border city, and the city walls are high and dangerous, so it is impossible to jump directly. To successfully descend the city, you also need aids such as ropes.

In the process of escaping from the city, he must not make a mistake, once something goes wrong, even if he can avoid the arrows of the defenders on the city wall, he and Guan Qing will never be able to avoid the Jizhou cavalry who have figured out the direction of their escape and chased out of the city.

"Brother, drink water!" Observing the terrain outside the city, the voice of the Jizhou soldiers leading them up to the city came from behind Liu Wei.

Liu Wei turned around, took the pottery bowl filled with water from the Jizhou soldier, drank the water in the bowl in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and handed the bowl back to the Jizhou soldier.

Taking the pottery bowl from Liu Wei's hand, the Jizhou soldier smiled with a smile on his face, and said to him and Guan Qing: "The two of us still need to guard the ladder, and the two brothers are resting here, if the general wants to return, the two of us will immediately invite the two brothers!" ”

"It's hard work!" Liu Wei thanked him and arched his hand at the two people.

The two Jizhou soldiers also arched their hands to the two, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the stairs.

After the two Jizhou soldiers left, Liu Wei turned his head and looked at the city wall again.

On the city wall, there are sleeping Jizhou soldiers, and some Jizhou soldiers are sleeping, and occasionally turn over and mumble two vague dream words. On the edge of the battlements, at intervals, there will be a Jizhou soldier holding a weapon and being on duty.

On the battlements next to the sentry Jizhou soldiers, there were long flags erected one after another. Under the encouragement of the night wind, the flag flew up and down, making a burst of "hulala" sound. Looking at the flying flags, Liu Wei's eyes instantly flashed with a different kind of brilliance.

The location where the two Jizhou soldiers led Liu Wei and Guan Qing to was a place far away from the stairs, no matter which direction they went, if they wanted to get close to the stairs, they had to pass through a long section of the city wall. In this way, the slightest movement of them would immediately attract the attention of the defenders on the city walls, and there would be no chance of escaping down the stairs into the city.

Standing beside Liu Wei and looking at the Jizhou defenders at the head of the city, Guan Qing was apprehensive in his heart. Although most of the Jizhou soldiers in the city were sleeping, the soldiers of the Jizhou army who were on duty at night were all wide-eyed. As soon as a waking Jizhou soldier shouted, the sleeping soldiers would immediately wake up and capture her and Liu Wei.

Guan Qing turned his head and looked around, the sleeping Jizhou soldiers were holding weapons in their arms, and in addition, there were only "hulala" flags flying in the wind and soldiers on duty standing at intervals on the city.

After looking around at the nearby city, Liu Wei suddenly moved closer to Guan Qing and asked her in a low voice, "Have you flown over?" ”

"Fly?" Hearing what Liu Wei said, Guan Qing turned his head to look at him blankly, as if looking at a strange person, and asked with a stunned face: "How can people fly like birds?" ”

"I'll let you fly once today!" Smiling at Guan Qing, Liu Wei reached out and patted her arm gently, and looked up at the Jizhou Army flag that was waving in the wind on the battlements nearby.

Leading Guan Qing to the battlements between the two flags, Liu Wei looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and said to her: "Hold the flags in two sections with both hands, and the bulging part in the middle can hold the wind, with the help of the wind, such a large flag is enough to bear the weight of a person." Remember, when jumping off the wall, be sure to hold on to the corners of both ends and never let go, once you let go, falling down is not fun! ”

Looking at Liu Wei with a serious face, Guan Qing nodded blankly. She had never heard of the wind as long as she grabbed two sections of the flag with both hands.

Although he had explained the essentials to Guan Qing clearly, Liu Wei still felt a little uneasy, he pulled up Guan Qing, walked to a flag, stretched out his hand to fold the corners of the two ends of the lower part of the banner together, grasped it tightly, and whispered to Guan Qing: "That's it, understand?" With the other hand, grab the corners of the other side and jump out of the wall. ”

When Liu Wei grabbed the lower corner of the banner, about ten steps away from them, a Jizhou soldier turned his head and glanced at him and Guan Qing. didn't see anything unusual, so the Jizhou soldiers turned their eyes to the outside of the city.

"Do you remember clearly?" Turning his head to glance at the Jizhou soldiers who were looking at them, Liu Wei lowered his voice and asked Guan Qing: "You go to the flag on the other side, look at my gesture, tear off the flag and immediately jump off the city wall." ”

"Yes!" Guan Qing clenched his fists a little nervously, and responded. The method proposed by Liu Wei sounds feasible, but Guan Qing has never seen anyone do this, so he is still very uneasy about it, and he doesn't have much confidence when answering.

nodded to Guan Qing again, patted her lightly on the back, and waited until Guan Qing walked under the flag on the other side and reached out to hold the lower end of the flag, Liu Wei nodded at her.

The city wall was full of Jizhou soldiers, and the two of them acted separately and had to keep the same pace. Once anyone is slow, it is very likely to be captured by the Jizhou army on the city wall.

Grabbing the lower corner of the flag with one hand, Guan Qing also nodded to Liu Wei.

After making sure that Guan Qing had grasped the lower end of the flag, Liu Wei reached out and made a pulling motion, and the hand that made the movement pressed down violently.

At the same time as he pressed that hand, he and Guan Qing pulled the flag tightly at the same time, and pulled it downward.

The flag tied to the wooden stick was pulled by them, making a "hiss" sound, and was pulled by the two of them in their hands.

As soon as the flag was pulled down, the two of them pressed the battlements with their hands and jumped up.

The sound of Liu Wei and Guan Qing pulling the flag pierced the silence on the city wall at night, and the Jizhou soldiers who had seen them just now hurriedly shouted: "What are you two doing?" Hurry down! ”

This shout was especially piercing in the quiet night, and many sleeping Jizhou soldiers heard the shout and hurriedly got up.

Jumping on the battlements, Liu Wei shook off the battle flag, grabbed both ends of the battle flag tightly with both hands, and shouted to Guan Qing, who was also standing on the battlements and had already unfolded the battle flag: "Jump!" ”

With a shout, Liu Wei jumped off the city wall. The wind lifted the curtain in the middle of the battle flag, and under the impetus of the wind, he flew towards the moat like a big bird with wings spread.

Seeing Liu Wei jumping off the city wall, a group of Jizhou soldiers hurriedly rushed up, and just when they were about to rush to the edge of the battlement, Guan Qing also followed Liu Wei's example, opened the battle flag, and jumped off the city wall.

A Jizhou soldier who rushed to the edge of the battlements reached out and grabbed Guan Qing at the moment when he jumped off the city wall. But his movements were slower after all, and his outstretched fingers only touched Guan Qing's leather armor, and he could only watch Guan Qing fly in the night like a goshawk with wings outstretched.

With the two muffled sounds of "poof", two splashes were stirred up in the moat in the distance, and Liu Wei and Guan Qing fell into the moat one after another.

After this commotion, the Jizhou soldiers on the city wall had all woken up, and they all rushed to the edge of the battlements, with a pair of incredible eyes, staring at the moat that had just stirred up two huge splashes.

"Someone's out of town!" The battlements were surrounded by Jizhou troops, and it was not until there was a splash in the moat that one of the officers reacted first and shouted.

Pulling the flag tightly with both hands, with the help of the wind, Liu Wei and Guan Qing flew towards the moat like two gliding birds.

But the gliding distance was not as far as Liu Wei expected, and before they flew to the center of the moat, the two fell into the water.

After falling into the water, the two did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly paddled the water hard, so that they had enough strength to swim quickly to the opposite side.

"Let's go!" As soon as he climbed onto the shore, Liu Wei picked up Guan Qing and ran towards a dark forest in the distance.

The two of them ran as fast as they could, their clothes soaked with the water of the moat, leaving a water stain behind them with every step they took away.

The water stains dripping on the ground did not remain for a long time, and the wind on the summer night had a slight smoke, and the water stains quickly evaporated, and even the soaked clothes and armor on the two of them were also blown by the wind, and most of them quickly dried out.

rushed to the forest, and when he reached the edge of the forest, Liu Wei didn't want to think about it, pulled Guan Qing and plunged into it.

At the moment when they plunged into the forest, the north gate of Yuyang City was greatly opened, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and a team of more than 1,000 cavalry rushed out of the city and rushed straight to the forest that Liu Wei and Guan Qing fled into.

Pulling Guan Qing into the forest, Liu Wei found that the gap between the trees in this forest was not tight, and people ran in it, feeling very empty, and the trees did not cause any obstacles to their travel.

As a result, the protection that this forest can provide to him and Guan Qing will be extremely limited. Pulling Guan Qing to run deep into the forest, Liu Wei was trying his best to find a relatively complex terrain along the way.

The sound of the hooves of the horses roaring like thunder came from behind him, and the roaring hooves of the horses got closer and closer, and later, although the sound of the hooves of the horses was much sparser, it did not disappear completely.

When the sound of horses' hooves thinned out, Liu Wei felt that time was even more pressing. The sparse hooves of the horses only indicated that the cavalry chasing them had left the open field and entered this wooded area with sparse trees.

Guan Qing, who was galloping through the forest with Liu Wei, also clearly heard the sound of the horse's hooves behind him getting closer and closer. One hand was pulled by Liu Wei, and Guan Qing had already subconsciously pressed the other hand on the hilt of the sword, ready to fight to the death with the pursuers.

was pulling Guan Qing towards the depths of the forest, Liu Wei suddenly felt a loosening of his feet, and secretly said "not good" in his heart, just about to let go of Guan Qing who was being pulled by him, his whole person had fallen into a deep cave.

Guan Qing, who was holding hands with Liu Wei tightly, felt Liu Bian's body fall down violently, and hurriedly wanted to drag him, but Liu Bian's falling momentum dragged her into that deep natural pit.

Falling into the pit, Liu Wei turned over a few times in a row, and then fell the ground covered with soft fallen leaves at the bottom of the pit. In the dark cave, he couldn't see his five fingers, his eyes widened, and he was about to sit up, but Guan Qing, who was pulled into the cave because of his fall, fell heavily on him at this time, and his hard head really hit his chest.
