Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 352 Zhang Wu steals the chicken

Time flew by and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the Goguryeo side, three lines of reinforcements totaling more than 12,000 people rushed to the east side of Wandu. They were blocked by Cao Wei's siege army and could not enter the city. Set up camp ten miles to the east and wait for the follow-up troops.

The night wind in late spring is still biting and makes people's hearts tingle.

Bonfires were set up in the open spaces in front of the tents for heating.

The moonlight was shrouded in dark clouds, and most of the Goguryeo soldiers had fallen asleep. The heavy steps of the soldiers patrolling the camp could be vaguely heard.

But no one noticed that there were some different figures in the deep forest.

"General, the military advisor only asked you to rob food, not the camp. It's quiet in the night, if you rush the Goguryeo people to lose their courage, what will happen when they retreat?"

Cao Xiu's voice sounded in the night. The one he could call a general was naturally Zhang Wu.

"You asked me to say this. How could they withdraw?"

"Why is it impossible?"

Zhang Wu glared with hatred: "How could I teach such a stupid thing like you? As long as we kill all these Goguryeo soldiers, no one will retreat."

Cao Xiu turned around and looked at Baiqi behind him, and then at Zhang Wu who was steadfast in his promise. He didn't know where he got the confidence.

To say that a hundred cavalry hijacking camp defeated more than ten thousand troops, Cao Xiu believed that Zhang Wu could easily do it with his strength.

In particular, the Goguryeo military camp was not well-defended and could even be said to be crude.

Can a hundred cavalry kill more than ten thousand people? Isn't that nonsense?

Goguryeo people are not fools. They can't run away even if they can't be beaten. As long as you look for a cat in any corner under the moonlight, even if Zhang Wu has three eyes, he probably won't be able to find it.

As long as one of them escapes and passes the news on, who can guarantee that the subsequent reinforcements will not abandon their king and choose to retreat?

"You look like you can't believe me?"

"The general will not dare."

"I think you are very brave. In fact, I planned to just move some food and leave, but in the past two days, I discovered something very interesting. Forget it, I can't tell you, you are still too young. ."

Zhang Wu said, casually holding a branch in his hand, driving his horse forward two steps and throwing it casually.

The branches cut through the night sky and gently fell on the helmet of the night patrol soldier two hundred paces away.

"Where did the branches come from?"

"Could it be brought here by the wind?"

"Let's go over and have a look." The night patrol soldier looked around and couldn't see anyone, so he led his companions to search in the direction from which the branches flew.

After all, it was just a branch and not an enemy arrow, so the soldiers naturally did not disturb the resting officers.

This move shocked Cao Xiu who was watching the show from a distance.

Zhang Wu's javelin was accurate, but the branches were so light, could it be the same as the javelin?

Just like throwing stones and throwing goose feathers can be the same concept.

"Don't be stupid. Go over and kill them. Do it neatly. Remember, don't break the armor."

"Got it."

There were only ten people in the patrol team. They were no match for Cao Xiu. They were all killed in a matter of seconds without even making a sound.

After Zhang Wu ordered his men to change into armor, he tied the war horses in the forest, and then took Cao Xiu and eight other Yunhui to patrol outside the camp.

Because they were far away and under the cover of night, no one noticed anything different about this group of patrolling soldiers.

"General, you are doing a great job, what should we do next?"

Zhang Wu observed carefully and found that another team of patrols was coming west, and there was no second team of soldiers around to support them. So he followed the script and killed ten more people.

After going back and forth like this ten times, there were ten different groups of patrol soldiers outside the Goguryeo camp.

"Huang Xu, take fifty people and divide them into five teams to patrol eastward. As soon as you see the Goguryeo soldiers patrolling at night, you will kill them. Remember not to make too much noise."

"Here."

"Cao Xiu, just take fifty people to the west and act like Huang Xu."

"General, what about you?"

"Me? Of course I'm going to kill people?" Zhang Wu looked at the large tents with his eyes shining.

There are a lot of people here. If they are all killed, the degree of integration will increase a lot.

Unfortunately, the timing was not right and time did not allow it, so I raised my hand and patted my cheek, giving up this tempting idea.

There were more than 10,000 people, and if he went through them one by one, it would take ten seconds to kill one person, and he would not be able to kill them all in one day. If a hundred people acted at the same time, it would be much faster.

"You kill the patrolling soldiers first, then steal people from tents to tents. Work as fast as you can, and try to finish the work before dawn."

"Here."

No other army would dare to play like this. You must know that the quality of soldiers varies greatly. As long as one person makes trouble, the sneak attack plan may be ruined.

But there is no such problem with Yun Hui.

So, there is only one last question left.

Since it is a night patrol, there cannot be only soldiers and no generals.

Generally, night patrol teams have established routes and report back on time, so as to ensure the safety of the army to the greatest extent.

Going deep into the enemy camp, finding the general who was patrolling at night, and then killing him was what Zhang Wu needed to do.

Zhang Wu had already thought of the method of hijacking the camp in front of him, but unfortunately he never had the chance to practice it when he was in the Central Plains.

There are too many smart people among the Han people, and the military techniques left by their ancestors are full of false and true forms. Anyone who can serve as an army strategist is not a monster.

Zhang Wu could think of it, but others had already thought of it for him.

When fighting in the Central Plains, the most important thing to watch at night was not the patrol soldiers running around, but the sentries on the observation towers.

He is standing there, you can move him. There is a bright light from the brazier beside each observation tower. If the soldiers above fall, they will be noticed immediately below.

Just don't touch him. It's like a dream to sneak into the camp quietly.

Therefore, whenever you want to rob a camp, you can only do it forcefully. At most, you can occupy a place so that you are prepared and undefended.

It is a pity that the Goguryeo people's military strength is not only backward, but their intelligence may also be in the development stage. The patrol method they use can be said to be very retro, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the art of war was not yet mature.

Even among them, there were no two groups of soldiers at a distance to support each other. No wonder a little Gongsun Du was able to dominate Liaodong and bully the Goguryeo people.

If this was not done to them, it would be unjust.

Even Zhang Wu felt that using Yun Hui to do this was overkill, and a team of assassins was enough to do the job.

After arranging everything, Zhang Wu shouldered his big gun and walked leisurely through the tents, looking for the general who was patrolling the night.

If you encounter some soldiers who are up at night, just kill them. His gun can ensure that the person is killed before the other party shouts.

Because of absolute self-confidence, I entrusted myself greatly.
