Chapter 589 Dong Feifei, Say Goodbye to Your Food

Everything is going smooth.

By taking the initiative, Su Yao immediately took control of the situation in the camp.

After all, those diehards were only a minority. When they just showed their determination to fight to the death, Su Yao swung his flying knife and ended their lives.

The remaining people, even Zhang Hong’s confidants, had to bow their heads for the time being.

In the chaos, they also realized that the Champion Marquis did not have many people with him, so they could just pretend to surrender first and then talk about other things later.

As the saying goes, a good man never suffers immediate losses.

However, they did not expect that after they laid down their weapons, a purge would follow.

With Li Yi's accusation, Su Yao easily eliminated the hidden Dong Zhuo loyalists and Zhang Hong's confidants and brought them to justice.

Then, another group of people were demoted to soldiers on charges of violating military discipline, drinking in the camp, disturbing the people, and insulting women.

After a round of purges, those once domineering officers were eliminated and replaced by a new batch of new officers who were promoted from the front line, experienced veterans who had been suppressed for various reasons and were frustrated.

The veterans were ecstatic about this sudden appointment, and shouted that they were willing to fight to the death for Lord Su.

However, Su Yao did not directly throw them into the battle of Luokou Warehouse.

"What, Your Excellency, you are going to go alone?!"

Guan Yu was stunned.

He never expected that Lord Su would actually say that he would solve this most critical and most difficult task himself?

"That's right, I can go alone." Su Yao chuckled.

"But Luokou Warehouse is the lifeline of Dong the thief, and the guards must be strict. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to go there alone."

"That's why I'm going alone."

Su Yao's eyes were firm:

"Too many people will inevitably expose your whereabouts."

"Besides, if we lead a surprise attack, even if we take over Luokou Warehouse by force, it will be difficult for us to escape unscathed from the siege behind the enemy lines. It is far less easy than me coming and going freely."

Guan Yu hesitated a little after hearing this, and when he was about to persuade him again, Su Yao waved his hand:
"It's getting late, Yunchang, there's no need to persuade me anymore, and I have other tasks to assign to you."

When Guan Yu heard this, he immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Please give me your orders, my lord!"

Then, Su Yao took out the map he had found in Zhang Hong's tent and unfolded it in front of Guan Yu:

"Look, Yunchang, this is one of the three major ferry crossings in Luobei. Although it is not as large as Luopu Ferry, it still has more than a hundred ferries."

Guan Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he pulled his beard and said, "My Lord, this is a great harvest!"

Su Yao nodded and said with a smile:
"That's right. As long as you can take this place, our crossing of the river can be greatly advanced."

"But this ferry is probably heavily guarded." Guan Yu murmured.

Guan Yu knew very well that in order to prevent them from crossing the river, the Dong bandits had implemented a policy of "not allowing even a single piece of wood to enter the water".

Private ferry traffic was prohibited, and only the government's navy patrolled the river from time to time.

In order to ensure the implementation of this policy and put an end to illegal crossings by the public, Dong Zhuo arranged guards to be stationed at every ferry crossing.

At the same time, of course, there is also the intention of guarding against sneak attacks by their small-scale troops.

As for the location marked by Su Yao, since it is a ferry crossing written on the map and there are more than a hundred ferries docked there, there must be a lot of guards.

"Qu Junhou Hu Huan."

Li Yi, who had risen from a mere sentry to a fake military officer, quickly delivered the information:

"This man is the cousin of Captain Hu Zhen. He leads 800 soldiers and is one of the three military marquises under the captain. He is in charge of supervising the river defense and is stationed around the ferry."

"If Guan Sima wants to launch a surprise attack on the ferry, there will probably be a lot of trouble if we don't get rid of them first."

Li Yi was still a little worried.

Even though they were all from the same group and had a quota of 800 soldiers, compared to Hu Huan's troops who were concentrated on defending the ferry, Zhang Hong's troops were more dispersed. Many teams were scattered throughout the countryside to control the local areas, and there were only more than 400 actual soldiers recruited into the camp.

However, Guan Yu was relieved when he heard this, and stroked his beard and said:

"You are a traitor. I will ensure that we complete the mission, seize the ferry, and seize the ferry!"

Su Yao nodded:

"In that case, that place will be left to you two."

The plan was decided, and the two groups set out separately.

After receiving the order, Guan Yu, Li Yi and others immediately began to mobilize soldiers and prepare to raid the ferry.

Su Yao himself rode a good horse found in the camp and headed straight for Luokou Warehouse under the cover of night.

The night was as dark as ink, and there was silence near Luokou Warehouse.

Su Yao was alone, and under the cover of night, he quietly approached Luokou Warehouse.

When there was still some distance between them, Su Yao dismounted from his horse, leaned forward and sneaked forward, blending himself into the night.

He first glanced around with sharp eyes, then looked at his small map, observing the deployment and patrol of the guards.

Luokou Warehouse, as an important material storage base for Dong Zhuo’s army, is naturally not an isolated building like the previous granaries, but a large group of barns.

The tall silos rise from the ground, and from a distance they look like small hills scattered in the night.

Outside the granary, there is a solid stone wall connecting it to the warehouse, enclosing it within the wall to isolate it from human habitation.

On the top of the wall, torches were lit up, and the guards were wearing iron armor, holding spears, patrolling vigilantly, their shadows elongated in the light of the fire, looking majestic and stern. This large area was lit up by them as if it were daytime. There was a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps. Just one look at them showed that they were not Zhang Hong's good-for-nothings, and they were fulfilling their duties well.

"Cheer up, everyone!"

The officer patrolling the wall held a whip and said as he walked:

"In a few days, we will begin to move the capital, and the grain stored in Luokou Granary must not be lost."

"If there is any mistake, you and I will all lose our heads!"

The officer's voice echoed in the night sky. Upon hearing it, the patrolling soldiers became more energized, patrolling more quickly and holding their weapons tighter.

Su Yao hid in the dark, observing everything silently, nodding secretly, thinking that it was a good thing he came alone, otherwise he would not be able to find a way to get others to sneak in with him.

That’s right, although the defense line is tight, they still can’t defeat Su Yao.

[Stealth Mode] Activate!
Stealth mode, this mode that relies on stealth skill points will not only reduce the noise made during stealth according to the proficiency of the skill, making it more difficult to be discovered, but most importantly, it provides an auxiliary display function for the enemy's field of vision.

As long as you enter stealth mode, the distance and range of the enemy's field of vision will be clearly visible, greatly improving the character's stealth tolerance and will not be discovered due to misjudgment of field of vision.

So, under the cover of night, Su Yao carefully moved in the dark, taking advantage of the undulating terrain and the cover of vegetation, and approached the perimeter of Luokou Warehouse step by step. He stood outside the illumination range of the fire and closed his eyes to concentrate.

On the small map, there were densely packed red dots on the wall of Luokou Warehouse. After he zoomed in with his mind, the defense situation became clear at a glance.

Su Yao quickly calculated the best infiltration route in his mind.

He noticed a corner of the wall where patrols seemed relatively sparse and there was a low bush that could serve as cover.

Su Yao took a deep breath, approached the bushes cautiously, and then quickly got in.

The bushes were thick and dense, providing perfect cover for him as he crept forward, inching closer to the wall.

Just as he was about to reach the wall, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came, exactly at the time he expected.

Su Yao quickly held his breath, his body pressed tightly against the ground, motionless, as if he had merged into one with the earth.

Through the gaps in the bushes, I saw several soldiers patrolling along the wall. Their figures were elongated in the firelight, making them particularly eye-catching.

Su Yao stared at the soldiers closely, silently calculating their paces and patrol patterns in his mind.

However, after one round, Su Yao discovered that there was no opportunity to take advantage of these people's patrols.

Although this place was located at the intersection of two patrol groups, the time difference between them was not enough to give him a chance to cross.

There was no blind spot indication in the stealth mode field of view in his system.

"What shall we do now?"

Su Yao lay quietly on the ground with his eyes slightly closed, but his mind was rapidly thinking of a countermeasure.

He knew very well that breaking in directly was not the best strategy. Such a large barn could not be ignited by just lighting a single fire. He would have to set fire to multiple places and find a suitable place to start the fire.

Once he attracted the enemy's attention and was besieged, it would be difficult for him to fight and find an opportunity to start a fire at the same time while driving a train pulling monsters.

In the absence of SL, it is better to focus on stability first.

It was necessary to enter the barn and set fire to it without alerting the guards.

So what is the safe way?
Just then, a night breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness and blowing the treetops not far away.

Treetops, yes. Although the areas outside the wall were chopped down to prevent people from climbing in, there were still a few trees in the vast space inside the wall.

This is also one of the reasons why Su Yao chose this place. He can use the cover of trees after climbing over the wall.

And now, Su Yao's attention was attracted by the trees again.

No, to be precise, it’s the bird’s nest on the treetop.

Su Yao quietly observed the bird's nest on the treetop and had an idea in mind.

He quickly picked up a small stone from the ground and aimed at the bird's nest.

Almost in an instant, the stone cut through the night sky and headed straight for the bird's nest.

With a "whoosh", the stone hit the target accurately, startling the night birds that were nesting inside.

The night bird flapped its wings in fear, let out a shrill scream, and then flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.

This scream was naturally particularly harsh in the silent night and successfully attracted the attention of the patrolling soldiers on the wall.

"what sound?!"

"what's the situation?"

The soldiers shouted alertly, raised their spears and looked around.

The other soldiers also stopped and observed the situation around them nervously.

Their attention was instantly drawn to the startled night bird, and they completely ignored the direction of Su Yao in the bushes.

Just at this moment, Su Yao moved.

He just stood up, leaped like a ladder, kicked the wall lightly in the air and then jumped over the wall.

The whole process was clean and neat, and thanks to the stealth skill, no sound was made.

Inside the wall is an open space with several tall silos standing in it.

There are also patrol teams constantly patrolling around the venue, but the patrol density here is much lower than outside the wall.

Su Yao was overjoyed knowing that he had successfully sneaked into Luokou Warehouse. Next, he just had to find the place where the food and grass were stored and try to set it on fire, and then his mission would be accomplished.

"Dong Feifei, say goodbye to your food."
