Seeing that everyone was so positive, Liu Rumei had no choice but to follow the trend and nodded with a smile.
"Okay, in that case, let's do it again and then go down the mountain."
After saying that, he turned to look at Chen Xiaobei again, "Brother Xiaobei, please stay here while we go."
"Yes, yes, brother Xiaobei, please stay, we can go." Liu Tie patted Chen Xiaobei's shoulder affectionately.
Chen Xiaobei said to his heart, after all, you two went up and put on your armor and stood guard, which is a bit of credit. I waited in the canyon for a long time. I was just a guide. I didn’t have the capital to brag when I went back, so this time You have to go anyway.
"It's just to light a fire without fighting. So what if I don't know martial arts."
This reason was so good that Liu Rumei had no choice but to agree.
Under the leadership of Liu Ce and Liu Tie, everyone quickly reached the edge of the steep slope.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Xiaobei sighed in his heart. With just a few people, he could handle it with a chain crossbow.
But as soon as he took two steps forward, Liu Rumei suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Brother Xiaobei, don't go there, it's too dangerous."
This was what she said subconsciously. After saying it, Liu Rumei felt that it was a bit too obvious, and her face instantly felt a little hot.
Xiao Qing next to her couldn't help but roll her eyes at her young lady. This was too obvious in a large audience.
Liu Tie took a step forward, stood between Liu Rumei and Chen Xiaobei, and put his arm around Chen Xiaobei's shoulders pretending to be affectionate, "Yes, brother Xiaobei, just wait here. Just go up and light the fire later." ”
He is talking here. The little girl over there had already waved her hand and led her men to touch it. Seeing this, Liu Tie and Liu Ce had no choice but to turn around and run towards the camp on the other side.
Seeing the little girl leading people up the steep slope, a scream soon rang out.
Then the little girl and the others came back, several of them still carrying bloody heads in their hands.
I really can't see that the little girl in Lis, who is usually gentle and harmless, with a sweet and beautiful smile, is so ruthless, killing her and even beheading her.
The little girl directed the people to hang the heads on the nearby branches. At this time, Liu Che and Liu Tie also cleared the sentries visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this scene, Liu Rumei waved her hand, and everyone rushed up and started to light the fire.
There was a fire next to the sentry post. It was not difficult to make a fire. Chen Xiaobei grabbed a piece of wood and threw it towards the tent next to him.
Soon the tent started to burn. When Chen Xiaobei went to grab the second piece, he was stopped by Liu Rumei again.
"Brother Xiaobei, let's just go. You wait here and you'll be back soon." After saying that, he turned to Xiaoqing next to him and said, "Protect Brother Xiaobei."
Faced with Liu Rumei's blatant concern, Chen Xiaobei had no other better choice but to accept it calmly.
The tents of Zhu Meng's army were all connected together. Therefore, after the fire broke out together, if they were not moved away in time, the consequences would be disastrous.
But it is obvious that the number of guards left is extremely limited, and most of them are concentrated near the rope bridge. There are only a very small number of guards left in the camp here. In addition, the guards here have been killed, so no one issued a timely warning. .
Therefore, a fire is inevitable.
Looking at the flames soaring into the sky in the distance, Chen Xiaobei sighed and shook his head. It would be great if these tents were left to the villagers.
What a pity, what a pity.
After the fire was burned, Chen Xiaobei also decided to change his mind. They didn't need to bother drilling into the cave anymore, they could just go down the steep slope.
After walking seven or eight miles in one breath, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief until the fire was no longer visible.
The news of the fire on the mountain quickly spread to the bottom of the mountain, and Zhu Meng was shocked when he heard it.
Although the food and grass were burned, he could still hide the matter.
But the camp was burned down, and the matter could no longer be concealed. The result of the inability to conceal the matter would naturally be a decline in military morale.
Even his generals seemed less confident.
The first one to stand up was his clan brother Zhu Lin.
Zhu Lin rushed in anxiously, "Brother, the camp on the mountain was burned and we can't go back. What should we do next?"
Zhu Meng's face darkened, "Why are you so anxious? If only a part of it is burned, not all of it will be burned. How can I still be without your place to live?"
Zhu Lin stamped her foot, "But the soldiers under my command have given up and are clamoring to go home."
go home! Hearing this signal, I couldn't help but feel shocked.
Since Zhu Lin came here, it meant that it wasn't just one or two people who wanted to go home.
Just as he was thinking, there was another rush of footsteps, and Lu Dong also broke in.
"Commander, all my men want to go back to the mountain to see if their tents are burned down. I don't know what to do."
After listening to Lu Dong's words, Zhu Meng's expression became very solemn.
He knew that if this continued, the battle would be impossible to fight tomorrow.
Zhu Meng put his hands behind his back and walked around the room for more than a dozen times, and finally turned to look at Zhu Lin.
"I can understand wanting to go home, after all, I've been out for so long."
"But I don't think it's necessary to go back to the mountain. There aren't many of us on the mountain."
Lu Dong looked at Zhu Meng in surprise, "What should I do, Commander? If this continues, we won't be able to fight tomorrow's battle."
Zhu Meng nodded, "Yes, the morale of the army is so low that there is no need to fight."
After speaking, he turned to look at the guard next to him, "Invite all the generals here, I have something to announce."
Soon all the generals and generals under their command arrived one after another. Although they were not as anxious as Lu Dong and Zhu Lin, to put it bluntly, they were all beating in their hearts.
Jumong got straight to the point, "I believe you all know that the camp on the mountain was burned down."
Everyone nodded, but no one was willing to say more for fear of disrupting Zhu Meng's train of thought.
"Now it is meaningless for us to fight Xiao Jingyun again. The morale of the army is unstable and we will lose without fighting."
After hearing this, Zhu Lin couldn't help but say, "Yes, Marshal, what should we do?"
Zhu Meng raised his head and looked at everyone present, "We can no longer stay in Qingniu Mountain. Now that I think about it, we have been deceived by Jamel Xiao."
"He can hold on on Qingniu Mountain, and we think we can too, but in fact there is a secret passage on Qingniu Mountain. He can come and go freely, but we are extremely passive."
Everyone still recognized Zhu Meng's summary very much and nodded in agreement.
"So now we must find a stable camp to continue to fight against Jamel Xiao and wait until the day of victory."
Obviously, everyone was not as excited about the pie painted by Zhu Meng as they imagined, and their faces still looked solemn.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Meng had no choice but to tell lies with his eyes open.
"By the way, just now, I just received good news that the Great Earth Kingdom captured five more cities in one day, and it is only two days away from the Wannian City."
