    Zhao Yun thought for a while and felt that although this action was against his original intention, as long as Cao Cao's Mengjin camp was taken away without anyone noticing, it would be much easier to attack Luoyang and conquer the entire Sili. This would give Cao Cao  The surprise and blow would be greater, so Zhao Yun nodded in agreement and stared at Gan Ning and said: "General Gan, be careful."

    Gan Ning didn't talk nonsense. He held his fists and led his troops to take the lead. But when Gan Ning arrived at Cao Cao's camp in Mengjin, Gan Ning took a closer look and was shocked.

    Gan Ning was shocked after seeing Cao Cao's camp in Mengjin!  The reason for this is that Cao Cao set up this camp, which is too legal.

    This camp is based on the layout of the Five Elements Plum Blossom Formation. The walls are fully equipped with hanging buckets and the walls are very thick. There are also sharp wooden thorns on the walls to prevent outsiders from climbing over them. Every thirty or so  An arrow tower erected in Mijiu blocked all angles of attacking the camp.

    Where is this still a small camp?  This is just a battle fortress, not to mention the few men and horses brought by Gan Ning. Even if the men and horses brought by Gan Ning and Zhao Yun are added together, and then quadrupled, it will definitely not be possible in a short period of time.  Annihilating them all would be enough to hold back himself and others, and give Cao Cao enough time to prepare for his troops in Luoyang.

    But if it were just these, Gan Ning wouldn't be much surprised based on the battles he had experienced. After all, when two armies are fighting, you can't just rely on the other side to be an idiot. There will be people on the other side who are proficient in the art of war who will set up camp like this.  That's not surprising. Gan Ning had never thought of attacking the camp head-on anyway. Gan Ning's purpose of coming back was to steal the camp in the dark.

    But the defensive measures of this camp are more than that. The camp is surrounded by a wilderness, with only loess and sparse grassland, not to mention all the unsightly trees around it have been cut down, even the denser grass has not been spared, and these are not even there.  After all, within the densely covered range of the arrow towers fifty meters away from the camp, there was a torch stored every fifteen meters. Countless torches were densely arranged around the walls of the camp, illuminating the entire outside of the camp as if it were daytime.  There are no visual blind spots. Any night attack by foreign enemies will be exposed to the surveillance of the arrow tower, allowing Cao soldiers in the camp to have sufficient preparation time.

    And now Gan Ning is surprised at this point. He must know that this defensive measure is the standard for first-level combat readiness, and is a means to always prevent enemy sneak attacks. The daily consumption of torches is a huge amount, not to mention the camp.  The fatigue strength of the night watchmen inside is also the sentinel on the largest arrow tower, and they have to monitor the surroundings at all times. Otherwise, such a layout has no meaning at all. Therefore, it will not be used in places other than front-line battles and relatively peaceful areas.  It would be too wasteful to adopt this kind of defensive method. Unless the other party already knew that the other party would come to attack at night, they would take such precautions. But how could the other party know that he and Zhao Yun were in a state of confusion all night long?

    Gan Ning secretly wondered: Could it be that there really is someone on Cao Cao's side who not only saw through the fact that his lord's deployment of troops and horses in Guandu was just a smoke to attract their troops, but also figured out our strategy of attacking here if our plan failed?  If that were the case, it would not be easy to handle. Now that he and Zhao Yun were alone, they would be able to achieve great results by surprise.  Zhao Yun's few men and horses are all in danger.

    Thinking of this, Gan Ning was a little hesitant. He didn't know the opponent's strength. If he had to take precautions and attack by surprise, there would be no chance. But if he attacked forcefully, even if he and Zhao Yun combined their troops, they could scoop down the camp with superior force, but that would be a huge loss.  The soldiers and horses lost will also be extremely heavy. It will be even more difficult to scoop up the entire Sili.

    At this time, Gan Ning's old subordinate Jiang Qin saw that Gan Ning was speechless for a long time, so he stepped forward and asked: "Brother, what's wrong? We are all here, why don't you give the order?"

    Gan Ning pointed to the camp in front of him and said: "Gongyi, don't you see the posture of this camp? How can we fight with this? The losses of a strong attack will be too great."

    Jiang Qin glanced at the camp and said fiercely: "Brother, what's the loss? Could it be that we came here with a guarantee and went back empty-handed? Isn't this ridiculous? And it's too unlucky and inappropriate.  We have to work on our business rules to some extent before we can say anything about it."

    Zhou Tai on the other side also said in agreement: "That's right, big brother and second brother are right. In our line of work, we can't do it for nothing. Even if it's just a tile, don't we have to do it symbolically?"

    As soon as Gan Ning heard these two people talking, he couldn't help but feel amused. These two brothers were used to being thieves, and they couldn't change their bad taste. Even if he became the commander of the navy in Youzhou, he would put them  They were also recruited to serve as officials. After all these years, they still can't get rid of these gangster tendencies.

    But Gan Ning then had another thought: ThisIt seems like they can¡¯t be blamed!  When I was training the navy in Liaodong, in addition to protecting merchant shipping routes and destroying pirates, I occasionally acted as a pirate under the orders of my lord, helping Xu Zhongyuan rob some Japanese fleets. This was not much different from when they were water pirates earlier.  The difference, and they are all actual executors, of course, their gangsterism is difficult to change. But now they and they have come to the Yellow River Basin to defend Cao Cao's soldiers and horses from crossing the river. Of course, they are a little suffocated for such a long time.  broken

    Looking at these two old brothers with so much murderous intent, Gan Ning couldn't help but cursed with passion: "Damn it! The thief won't get away with it! Let's just kill him."

    At this time, Gan Ning also thought about the camp that Cao Cao had arranged in Mengjin. It was definitely a thorn in the side of himself and others. Unless he and others quietly retreated back now, they could go back how they came. Otherwise, he would have bypassed it.  This camp, and sneak attack on Sili, but this camp blocked his retreat, leaving him no room to retreat. Instead of doing that, he might as well scoop out this camp first, and then if he couldn't do it, he would retreat immediately after scooping out this camp.  It can also make Cao Cao pay more attention to Sili, which can also play a role in spreading Cao Cao's troops.

    At this moment, Zhou Tai held the steel knife in his hand and was about to rush out with his troops. Gan Ning hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute!"

    Zhou Tai looked at Gan Ning in confusion and asked, "What's going on, brother?"

    Gan Ning smiled and said, "What's the matter, Youping? You've become so used to running rampant in the past few years that you've forgotten the rules we used to rob the camp?"

    Zhou Tai asked strangely: "Brother, how could I forget? But didn't you just say that sneak attacks are useless? Then why should we bother with this? Why don't we just go up?"

    Gan Ning said seriously: "The rules cannot be broken. There is no harm in giving it a try. Anyway, if we rush out like this, they will definitely be discovered. Try it. We still have a certain chance. And even if we officially launch an attack, we must give a signal to General Zhao."  , let them cooperate with us to attack together. Could it be that all the key points of coordinated operations you learned in the military academy were in vain and you gave them back to the instructors?"

    Zhou Tai was speechless, stroking his head and looking silly at Gan Ning.

    At this time, Gan Ning nodded and asked a small team to extinguish two torches outside the Mengjin camp to see how the Mengjin camp reacted.

    After receiving the order, the team all scooped out a piece of khaki camouflage cloth with many irregular stripes on it and put it on their bodies. Then they all lay down on the ground and slowly crawled forward.

    "Don't tell me that these people just put this camouflage cloth on their bodies and then crawled like this. Don't tell me it's night now, but those torches are lighting up the night sky. Even in broad daylight, ordinary people can't see clearly when they are far away.

    Even Zhou Tai, who knew that the team was disguised like this, couldn't tell where the disguised team was now.

    Zhou Tai couldn't help but sigh: "Brother! This treasure of camouflage cloth is really a good thing. How did our lord come up with this thing? If a living person is so confused, he can't see it. If only we had it a few years earlier.  If this thing is used, how many brothers will we have to die?"

    Gan Ning and Jiang Qin both nodded in agreement.

    Finally, the slowly crawling team arrived at the intended target without incident. A group of five people each quietly lifted up a small corner of the camouflage cloth, slowly exposed a small head of a blowpipe, blew hard, and then blew the camouflage cloth again.  The cloth was covered and he lay motionless on the spot.

    No one could clearly see what was abnormal just now if they were far away, but if they were closer, they would see a stream of white powder blowing towards the intended torch in the weak night wind

    These white powders are Youzhou's special fire-extinguishing powder. Jiang Fang obtained an exclusive secret recipe from a thief master. When the powder was blown onto the torches, the two torches immediately caused a series of flames to sway, like the grease of the torches.  It's like doing the final burning at the end of the day

    At this time, Gan Ning and others who were paying close attention to this action were very nervous. This was the most critical moment, and success or failure depended on it. As long as the torches were extinguished safely, and no one in Cao's camp came to investigate, then  This perfect defensive measure will create a visual blind spot, and your troops can sneak into Cao's camp from this black zone for a sneak attack.

    But at this time, there happened to be a Cao soldier on the arrow tower in Cao's camp who saw the beating of the fire there. He pushed the veteran next to him and asked: "Brother, look at how those two torches jumped.  One jump?"

    As the saying goes: If a person is going to be unlucky, his teeth will be clogged even after drinking cold water. If he is going to be lucky, pie will fall from the sky.

    At this time, Cao Cao deserves to be unlucky, and Liu Bin is lucky. Obviously, the new recruit of Cao's army in charge of this defense area has discovered the alien, but he just asked the veteran next to him, Youzi.

    That veteran oil?Having been a soldier for many years, I do have a lot of experience in fighting, but I also have a lot of experience in being lazy and slippery. Just like now, two people are clearly on guard duty, but he leaves it all to the recruit while he secretly dozes off.

    As a result, he was woken up by this new soldier, a veteran of Cao's army, and he woke up a little bored and asked: "Which one?"

    "Those are the two"

    Although the veteran was lazy, he was still afraid of getting into trouble and quickly looked in the direction of the recruit's finger. After a look, the veteran felt relieved and cursed casually: "What are you making such a fuss about, silly boy? Isn't the beating of the fire a sign that it is about to burn out?"  Well, didn't you see that there wasn't even a shadow of a ghost nearby? As long as there is no one to care about, there are so many people. It's already four o'clock in the morning, and it's almost dawn some time. Among the tens of thousands of torches, one or two burn quickly.  What¡¯s so surprising about the fact that they¡¯re almost gone?¡±

    The recruit was convinced, and felt that there were veterans who knew better, so he asked again: "Brother, do you know better? Do you really want to tell me that we don't need to report this matter?"

    "Ah! Why are you reporting such a trivial matter? Are you looking for a beating?"

    The recruit asked in confusion: "Brother, how can we get beaten if we report this?"

    The veteran laughed and said: "Silly boy, don't you look at what time it is now. The generals are sleeping soundly. This is not a major military matter. If you wake them up, what are you doing if you are not looking for a fight?"

    "Ah! Brother, you know better, thank you." The recruit understood and flattered him. However, the recruit looked at the bright and dim torch, which was about to go out, and still felt a little uneasy and asked: "Brother, why don't we do it ourselves?"  Replace the two torches so that if the two torches go out, we won¡¯t be able to see if anything happens again.¡±

    "You are stupid, you are really stupid. You want to change the torch in the barracks at this late night. Can't you do it without a military order? Then the generals will be alerted again and they are looking for a fight. And it will be dawn soon."  What could happen if you don't even have enough time to pee? It doesn't matter if one or two of the tens of thousands of torches are missing. You might as well save your energy and wait for the handover to return to the camp to rest. That's the real thing."

    "Ah, I'll just listen to you, brother," the recruit said with a silly smile.

    Just as the two Cao soldiers were talking, the two torches were finally put out. As soon as the two torches were put out, a dark area of ??about 20 meters suddenly appeared in the middle.

    Gan Ning was overjoyed and quickly sent a hundred more experienced brothers to touch it.

    These one hundred old brothers were all Gan Ning's old subordinates when he was Luocao. They were all masters who came and robbed the city under cover of darkness. Now, there is a loophole in Cao's camp surrounded by torches. These people  He immediately touched it like a fish in water and soon came under Cao Jun's stronghold wall.

    When they got to the bottom of the village wall, these veterans built a human bridge with ease. Without making any sound, they helped a brother up. The brother who got up was also experienced and had already wrapped a thick piece of felt around the sharp point.  Woodthorn then lowered a rope and slipped in quietly.

    Not long after, these people all entered the camp and, under the cover of darkness, moved toward the arrow towers on the left and right.

    Soon the sentries on these arrow towers became confused. If there was any movement at the Guizhai Gate, no one would call the police.

    At this time, this group of experts gathered together and approached the guards at the village gate.

    It is more difficult to kill the guards at the village gate than the sentries on the arrow towers. The sentries on the arrow towers are just alone in groups of two and two, and they have no precautions when encountering these gangs.  A master of assassination will of course be killed silently and unable to react in any way.

    But the guards at these village gates are different. First, the area near the village gate is relatively open. If you want to get too close without being discovered, it is absolutely impossible. Secondly, the guards at these village gates are also guarded by a team of people, with six people in total.  If you want to catch more than ten people at once without making any noise, it is really difficult. But as long as one person slips through the net, a warning signal will definitely be sent out. When Gan Ning's army rushes into the camp, they will encounter many people.  Trouble

    However, this group of people is indeed a master. They are well prepared. They all took out a blow dart, and the captain defined their respective goals. Each person was responsible for one. Under the command of the captain, they blew out with force at the same time.

    When those blowing arrows were shot without a bowstring, the lifeless blows they blew out were all slender steel needles. Those steel needles were also coated with a poison that could seal the throat when it reaches the blood. They were definitely weapons of assassination. Those from Cao Ying  Soldiers were shot to death one after another without even having time to shout out a exclamation.

    After clearing away the guards at the village gate, Gan Ning quickly opened the village gate and led his group of people to rush in.

    Following Gan Ning¡¯s signal, Zhao Yun¡¯s cavalry quickly rushed into the camp.

    This killing was so enjoyable

    ThatThe soldiers in the camp all woke up from a deep sleep in the winter. They rushed to the battle because they were panic-stricken and unintentional to fight. Moreover, when the incident happened suddenly, there was no time to put on armor. Even the weapons were not fully equipped. Gan Ning and Zhao Yun were fully prepared.  The troops also have their own most elite soldiers who are naturally strong and weak.

    By daybreak, the battle was over. All the officers and soldiers of Cao's Mengjin barracks were surrounded by Gan Ning. No one escaped the net and was either killed or captured. However, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning's troops only lost more than a dozen people.  , only dozens of people were slightly injured, and the rest were all intact.

    After interrogating Zhao Yun and Gan Ning, they realized why the Mengjin Barracks was so heavily guarded.

    Feelings: The Mengjin Barracks was the camp that Cao Cao personally set up when he first captured Luoyang. The purpose was to guard against sneak attacks by the Xiliang Army and the Youzhou Army. You must know that Luoyang at that time was still a group of ministers.

    In a small court where the Mengjin Barracks is located, the setting up is extremely important. (To be continued, you are welcome to cast your monthly recommendation vote.)
