Night envelops the Bowang Valley.

The Jingzhou army soldiers under the valley had stopped shouting, and the Jingzhou army on the top of the mountain did not feel sleepy at all.

Sitting on the mountain, the eyes of many Jingzhou soldiers looked down the mountain.

The Han army did not deliberately hide their figures, and the soldiers lit bonfires in the wilderness below the mountain.

The jumping bonfire, looking down from the top of the mountain, looks like twinkling stars.

The night was cold, and the bonfire under the mountain gave the night a bit of vitality, but this vitality, in the eyes of the Jingzhou army on the top of the mountain, was like a spell that made them avoid it.

Looking at the jumping bonfires at the bottom of the mountain, Jingzhou Jun, who had been whipped during the day, reached out and touched his back.

The wound left on the spine by the whip had dried up with the blood that had come out.

The dried blood stains stick to the clothes, and the fingers pull the clothes, and it will hurt hotly.

Turning his head to look around, he noticed that there were many companions who were not asleep.

Seeing that so many companions were not asleep, this Jingzhou army faintly felt a little anxious in his heart.

After receiving that whip, he had already made up his mind, no matter what, he would no longer follow Liu Bei, and follow Guan Yu to wait here for death!

Since the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou army who went down the mountain shouted to them, saying that the Han army did not kill the people who went to surrender to Chengcheng, it was better to go down the mountain to surrender to the Han army than to wait for death on the mountain.

Trapped on the top of the mountain, even if the Han army does not attack, all the Jingzhou troops stationed on the mountain will inevitably end up in a different place.

Forcing their way out of the encirclement, they did not try.

The result of each attempt was the same, and apart from dropping patches of corpses in front of the Han army's array, the Jingzhou army made little progress.

"Why don't you sleep yet?" As he looked around, a low voice came from his side.

The voice is a little old, but it sounds very familiar.

Turning his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, what appeared in his sight was the veteran who had helped him stop the officer during the day.

Approaching him, the old soldier sat down beside him and whispered to him, "What's the matter?" Want to go down the mountain? ”

Without answering the veteran, Jingzhou Bing tried to deny what he thought in his heart with silence.

Unbeknownst to him, the silence did not help him deny what he thought, but made the veteran immediately convinced that he did.

"Does the wound still hurt?" Glancing at his back, the veteran whispered another question.

"Thank you for your concern!" During the day, the veteran helped him after all, and the Jingzhou soldier grinned and pulled up a very strange smile, and said to the veteran: "If you don't tear your clothes, you won't feel very painful!" ”

"You...... Do you want to go down? Looking around, the veteran's gaze finally stayed on his face, lowered his voice, and asked him a question.

was asked by the veteran, Jingzhou Bing didn't know how to answer, or remained silent.

Seeing that he was silent, the veteran did not continue at once, but stared at his face without blinking, as if he wanted to find the answer from his face.

Stunned by the veteran, Jingzhou Bing said: "Brother is worried, and I am inexplicably grateful in my heart. It's not early, so let's rest early! ”

"Do you want to go down?" The veteran did not leave, but lowered his voice and asked him again.

Being stared at by the veterans, Jingzhou soldiers only felt uncomfortable.

He wanted to say that he wanted to go down the mountain, but he was not very familiar with the veteran, so he hastily agreed, not knowing what trouble would be caused.

His eyes always stayed on his face, and the veteran instantly grasped the entanglement in his heart, and whispered to him: "If you want to go down the mountain, I can help you!" ”

"How can my brother help me?" The veteran took the initiative to introduce the topic in depth, and Jingzhou Bing hurriedly asked.

As soon as the question was spoken, he instantly regretted it.

Maybe the other party just wanted to test him, and he couldn't wait to ask the words, undoubtedly admitting that he really had the idea of going down the mountain in his heart.

Getting the exact idea from his mouth, the veteran smiled slightly, and said to him: "Stay a little less, wait until it gets darker, and someone will call you!" ”

Dropping these words, the veteran got up and left.

Seeing his back, the Jingzhou army, who had been whipped during the day, was in an extremely complicated mood.

The idea of going down the mountain is irreversible.

Ever since he received that whip, he had already made up his mind that he would no longer follow Guan Yu.

He went to the battlefield just to feed his stomach and get some money every month, and when he returned to Jingzhou in the future, he would use it to subsidize his family.

To get paid to subsidize his livelihood, there must be a premise, that is, he must live.

At present, he and many of his companions are trapped in the mountains, and even if the Han army does not rush up and kill them all, they will only eat up the grain and grass after a while, and they will starve to death!

Going down the mountain, in the eyes of the soldiers of Jingzhou who were whipped, was their only hope of survival.

Looking around at the companions under the mountain, they couldn't stay up and fell asleep, and the Jingzhou soldiers, who were completely sleepless by the veterans, looked up at the sky.

There was no moon in the sky, only the stars blinking their eyes.

The sky, as pure as water, was like a black cloth covered with brilliant pearls, enveloping the entire earth, enveloping the earth in a dark darkness.

The Jingzhou army on the top of the mountain did not light a bonfire like the Han army under the mountain.

The Han army lit a bonfire, and there was no need to worry that the Jingzhou army would suddenly kill down the mountain.

The Jingzhou army was otherwise, they had no courage to be beaten, and they didn't even dare to think about breaking through, for fear of exposing their whereabouts, they would be touched by the Han army and served them in a pot.

More and more Jingzhou soldiers lay down, got the promise of the veterans, and waited for the veterans to come and call him down the mountain, but they didn't feel sleepy at all.

There were almost no people sitting beside him, and the veteran still didn't come.

He was anxiously waiting for the old soldier to come, and even had some doubts that the old soldier was playing tricks on him, and it was impossible for him to come to him again.

While he was wondering in his heart, a dark shadow touched him lightly.

Behind him, the shadow tapped him lightly on the shoulder.

was patted on the shoulder, Jingzhou Bing was excited, opened his mouth and almost screamed.

The person who patted him on the shoulder behind him sensed that he was taken aback, and hurriedly pressed his finger to his lips and gently "shhh

From the boos, he heard that it was the veteran who was going to beckon him down the mountain behind him, and his heart, which almost hung in his throat, fell into his stomach.

Relieved, he turned his head to look at the veteran.

The veteran didn't speak, but beckoned to him and motioned for him to follow.

Standing up lightly, he followed the veteran to a little farther away into darkness, and along the way, the Jingzhou soldiers were afraid that they would move more and wake up Tong Ze, who had already slept.

The two of them walked one after the other, and after walking for a while, Jingzhou Bing found that in the darkness in front of them, Shadow was about a dozen people squatting.

Finding more than a dozen people crouching in front of him, he stopped vigilantly.

The veteran who was walking in front felt him stop, glanced back at him, and beckoned at him, tilting his head at the same time.

Seeing the veteran beckoning, although he was a little uncertain in his heart, Jingzhou Bing still stubbornly walked with him towards the more than ten black shadows.

Walking only four or five steps away from the more than ten black shadows, he finally saw clearly that the black shadows squatting there were also soldiers like him.

Seeing that the veteran had brought someone back, one of the dark shadows whispered, "How?" ”

The veteran didn't say anything, but beckoned to the more than a dozen black shadows, and led them towards a forest in the mountains.

The forest was not very far from them, and the veteran soldiers were obviously familiar with the road conditions, and after three turns and two turns, they took this group of Jingzhou soldiers into the woods.

It wasn't until he entered the forest that the veteran let out a long breath and said to the more than ten people who followed behind him: "I'll wait to go down the mountain from the forest, pay attention to your feet, don't fall into the air." In the dark night, no one can help anyone, so they can only rely on their own family! ”

Including the Jingzhou soldiers who had just been called, more than a dozen people did not say a word, but just followed the veterans, while carefully groping and marching towards the mountain.

Quiet nights are always easy to pass.

When the first rays of dawn reflected the red eastern sky, Guan Yu was still lying on a flat boulder, sleeping deeply.

One of his own soldiers ran up to him, and when he saw that he was still asleep, his face showed hesitation.

I didn't want to wake up Guan Yu, but the matter was really urgent, the pro-soldier raised his fists, bowed slightly, and called softly: "General!" General Guan! ”

Perhaps it was too sleepy, Guan Yu, who was lying on the big rock, did not wake up, his eyes were slightly closed, and he even snored.

Without waking up Guan Yu, the pro-soldier licked his lips, raised his voice a little, and called again: "General Guan!" ”

In his sleep, he vaguely heard someone calling him, Guan Yu turned over, opened a gap in his eyes slightly to look at the soldiers standing aside with his fists folded, and asked lazily: "What's wrong?" ”

Seeing Guan Yu wake up and turn around, the soldiers lowered their voices and said, "General Qiyu, more than ten people absconded down the mountain last night!" ”

"What?" Hearing that someone had absconded down the mountain, Guan Yu sat up violently, his Danfeng eyes were also rounder than usual, and asked the pro-soldier, "How did they go down the mountain?" How to escape the night vigilance? ”

"Return to the general!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the soldiers said to Guan Yu with some apprehension on their faces: "I waited to chase to the mountains and forests ahead, and found that their footprints disappeared into the forest, thinking that they were descending the mountain through the mountains and forests!" As for the night vigilance, if you leave from the mountains and forests, it will be difficult to detect! ”

Sitting on the big stone, Guan Yu's brows were tightly locked, and his face became more and more solemn.

The number of Jingzhou soldiers who fled down the mountain was not large, but for Guan Yu, this was far worse news than someone pretending to be dead on the battlefield and then joining the Han army.

Once someone successfully escapes, the news spreads among the army that has lost morale, and I am afraid that in less than two days, the Jingzhou army on the mountain will run away, and it will be difficult to stop it!
