Chapter 465 Direction
Having reached the last step, there is actually one thing Xu Shu didn't tell Liu Bei, that is, they have no hope.

Why?The beacon formation came from Kongmen and would never be used unless absolutely necessary. Since the enemy had already put it into this battle, it meant that they had no intention of letting them get out unharmed.

In the past, Bai Qi used this formation to trap millions of troops in Changping. At that time, the commander of the enemy army was a holy general. No one else could do anything about it. You can do it?
Besides, Xu Shu hesitated before, not because of anything else, but because if he could crack the formation by pulling out the Beacon Tower, would he be led by these things? Obviously not.

When the moon was dark and the wind was high, when killing people and setting fires, the sparks on the hills under the starry sky were particularly conspicuous. It was inevitable that accidents would happen. Zhang Fei specially ordered a five-star general to lead the army and strive to capture several hills in the shortest time.

This person is Chao Gai's legendary general, but he didn't enter the core, so he didn't know that Liu Bei had betrayed Chao Gai.

He led 3000 people to set off in the dark, followed a sparkling place, and quietly approached it.

The lieutenant carefully looked at the road ahead, and waved behind him. Feeling the change, the army stopped involuntarily.

The chief general frowned, and said softly: "Quick battle and quick decision, why did you let the soldiers stop?"

The lieutenant general shook his head and said: "Look, general, the mountain road is overgrown with weeds, which are particularly lush, and the surroundings are generally the same. Obviously no one passes by here."

The general hurriedly glanced around, and the tip of his nose couldn't help but twitched twice: "You mean the enemy didn't go up the mountain from here?"

The deputy general was also not sure, he hesitated and said: "How about this, general, send some people to look around, and if we find the enemy's way up the mountain, shall we start again?"

The general took a deep breath, how could he not understand what he was thinking, be careful, so as not to fall into the tricks of the enemy.

Said: "You can arrange it. Our army will walk another two hundred steps and wait. Hurry up and go back."

"promise!"

The lieutenant was about to go down to make arrangements, but just as he was about to turn around, his expression changed instantly.

The general said suspiciously: "Why don't you make arrangements? Our army doesn't have much time."

The lieutenant's face was ugly, he stared at the mountaintop without blinking, the dark night made the dazzling things even more glaring, but the sparks that were still flickering before disappeared without a sound.

The chief general also realized that something was wrong, and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to send someone to investigate, and go to the top of the mountain immediately."

After the words fell, he rushed to the front, and he never deliberately lowered his footsteps, and now he wanted to rush up as quickly as possible.

It's only a few hundred meters away. For the general, even the steepest mountain, it only takes more than ten seconds.

Looking at the top of the mountain with strange rocks, there was nothing but stones, the general's eyes flickered.

Soon, the deputy general also caught up with him. His face was ugly and livid, and he said angrily: "How could this happen? This is impossible!"

In front of them, on the top of the steep mountain, many strange stones were gathered together. They were not placed by the enemy, but ordinary stones embedded in the soil that had existed for unknown ages.

Not to mention people, there are no sparks that flickered before, let alone any traces of being ignited.

The general snorted coldly and said: "It seems that the enemy army has discovered something is wrong in advance and withdrew early, otherwise they would have avoided us."

But he also knows that this is just comfort, but in the face of the unknown, only self-comfort can feel better.

The sparks on the horizon were still beating, and without hesitation, they ran towards a spark.

The two mountains were not far apart, and they soon reached the top of the mountain, but the same thing happened again. When they reached the top of the mountain, Xinghuo somehow disappeared, and what was even more strange was that there was no sign of anyone walking on the top of the mountain.

The general's face became more and more ugly, and he said angrily: "Go, continue to the next mountain!!"

The deputy general's mouth was bitter, and he stopped him bravely, saying: "General, you can't go anymore!"

"Can't? Let me go, if there is no way, you have to come out, I don't believe that these enemies in charge of Xinghuo will disappear out of thin air." The chief general turned his head suddenly, his eyes were wide open, and his eyes were about to burst, obviously he was very angry.

The lieutenant general was grabbed by the neck, and his breathing became more and more rapid. The aura of the god general was not just for fun. At such a short distance, if the hostility was not so obvious, he would have been scared to pee.

"General, we really can't go anymore, we can't even find the way we came here!"

The general let go, looked at the foot of the mountain and looked at the road when he came, his face turned bluer and bluer, he had forgotten what it was like to face a dead end, but now he has experienced it again!

When he came here before, he told him to pay attention to the situation around the mountains and not to get lost. He clearly remembered that around the mountain he was stepping on now, there were a total of five mountains that were lit with sparks. If you follow the direction, there should be no mistakes.

But now it is different. The sparks that were extinguished on the first mountain on the way before light up again, reflecting each other on the ground, like a bright starry sky, and I don't know where I am.

The general snorted coldly, forced himself to calm down, and said: "The sparks on the ground can hide our eyes, but the stars in the sky can't. On the contrary, the enemy can use the sparks to interfere with our steps, but they can't control the movement of the stars. , as long as we can clearly distinguish the north, south, east, and west, we can still go out."

The deputy general's eyes lit up. When he came here before, the sky was full of stars. As long as he could find a few special stars, such as the Big Dipper, he could accurately judge the location of the camp.

Thinking about looking up hurriedly, there are really bright stars in the sky, and murmured: "When the handle points to the east, the world is spring;

The meaning of this sentence is not difficult. Simply put, it means that on spring nights, the handle of the Big Dipper faces east; on summer nights, the handle of the Big Dipper faces north; on autumn nights, the handle of the Big Dipper faces west; The bucket handle faces south.

Hearing his murmur, the Lord General suddenly froze for a moment, and turned to look at him suddenly: "What did you just say?"

The deputy general was taken aback, so he had to repeat it again, and then continued: "I have heard this proverb since I was a child, and I will never forget it. The Big Dipper is the brightest of the seven stars. It is shaped like a spoon and is easy to identify. Find the Polaris by the direction of the stalk, not only can indicate the change of seasons, but also can be used to identify other stars, the most important thing is now we can use it to identify the direction!"

But the general's complexion didn't improve, on the contrary, it became more and more ugly.
