Chapter 342
Zhao Yun thought for a while and felt that although this action went against his original intention, as long as he took Cao Cao's Mengjin camp without knowing it, it would be much easier to attack Luoyang and conquer the entire Sili, and this surprise and blow would be greater. So Zhao Yun nodded and agreed to stare at Gan Ning and said, "General Gan, be careful."
Gan Ning didn't talk nonsense, and he clasped his fists and led his troops first. However, after Gan Ning came to the camp where Cao Cao was placed in Mengjin, Gan Ning took a closer look, but Gan Ning was shocked.
Gan Ning was shocked after watching Cao Cao's camp in Mengjin! What he did was not to be different, but the camp established by Cao Cao was so legal.
This camp is based on the layout of the Five Elements Plum Blossom Formation. It has all kinds of hanging buckets in the village. Not to mention that the village walls are very thick, there are sharp wooden thorns on the village walls to prevent outsiders from climbing and overtaking. The arrow tower erected every thirty meters blocks all angles of attacking the camp.
How could this be a small camp? This whole battle fortress is not to mention the number of people brought by Gan Ning, even if the people brought by Gan Ning and Zhao Yun are combined and then quadrupled, it would be absolutely impossible to wipe them out in a very short time. They can hold back their legs and create enough preparation time for Cao Cao and Wang's troops in Luoyang
But if it were just these, Gan Ning would not be much surprised with the battles that Gan Ning had experienced. After all, the two armies fought. You can't rely on the other party being an idiot. The other party would have someone who is proficient in military tactics and would set up camp in this way. It's not surprising that Gan Ning never thought about the purpose of attacking this camp in front. Gan Ning's return is to sneak a camp in the dark.
However, the defense measures of this camp are not only like this. There is a wilderness around the camp. Apart from the loess and sparse grass, not to mention that all the annoying trees around it have been cut down, and even the dense grass has not been spared. These are not counted. Within the range of the densely covered arrow towers, every fifteen meters, there is a torch. Countless torches are arranged densely around the village walls, illuminating the entire camp like daytime, there is no visual blind spot at all. Any night attack by foreign enemies will be exposed to the surveillance of the arrow tower, so that the Cao soldiers in the camp can have sufficient preparation time.
Now Gan Ning was surprised that this is exactly what he should know that this defense measure is the standard of first-level combat readiness, and it is to always prevent the enemy from attacking in the land. The daily consumption of torches is a large number of night patrol soldiers in the camp, and it is also the largest sentinels on the arrow tower. Otherwise, this layout will have no meaning at all. Therefore, if it is not a front-line battle supervising or relatively flat places, it will not be used to take such defense measures. Unless the opponent already knows, the opponent will attack at night, he will prevent this. But he and Zhao Yun were tragically ignorant and didn't know how could the other party know?
Gan Ning thought secretly: Could it be that Cao Cao has a really master who not only saw through the smoke that the lord arranged troops in Guandu, but only attracted their troops, but also decided that we would attack here if we failed to make a plan? If that were the case, it would be difficult to deal with. Now that I and Zhao Yun were alone in the army and were unexpectedly surprised, I would definitely achieve great results. But if they were prepared and even had gathered troops to wait for me, and the few troops of myself and Zhao Yun were waiting for me.
Thinking of this, Gan Ning was a little hesitant. The opponent's strength was unknown and the defense was stolen. It would definitely be a surprise that he had no chance. But if he fought hard, even if he and Zhao Yun combined his troops, he could use his superior forces to scoop down the camp, but the lost troops would be extremely heavy. If he wanted to scoop down the entire Sili, it would be even more difficult.
At this time, Jiang Qin, the old subordinate of Ganning, saw Gan Ning, speechless for a while, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with brother? Why don't you give orders yet?"
Gan Ning pointed to the camp in front of him and said, "Dong Yi, don't you see the posture of this camp? How can we fight? The loss of a strong attack is too great."
Jiang Qin glanced at the camp and said viciously: "What's the loss of brother? Should we come to the ground with guarantees and go back empty-handedly? Wouldn't this be ridiculous? And it's too unlucky and does not conform to our industry rules, we have to do some more votes before talking about it."
Zhou Tai, on the other side, also echoed: "That's right, brother and second brother said it's not bad at all. How can we do this in our industry be a waste of time? Even if it's a piece of tiles, we have to do it symbolically."
When Gan Ning heard these two people talking, he couldn't stop laughing at his two brothers because they were used to being thieves. He couldn't change the taste of thieves. Even if he became the commander of the navy in Youzhou and brought them to be officials, they still couldn't get rid of these banditry after so many years.
But Gan Ning thought again: It seems that it is no wonder they are! When he was training the navy in Liaodong, in addition to protecting the route of merchant ships and destroying pirates, he occasionally played pirates according to the orders of his lord, and helped Xu Zhongyuan rob some Japanese fleets. This was not much different from when they were pirates before, and they were all actual executors. Of course, their banditry spirits were not easy to change, but now they came to the Yellow River Basin to defend Cao Cao's troops across the river. It took such a long time for them to be a little frustrated.
Seeing these two old brothers with murderous auras, Gan Ning couldn't help but curse with excitement: "Damn it! The thief doesn't leave! Let's just have a vote."
At this time, Gan Ning also figured out that Cao Cao had arranged in Mengjin. It was definitely a thorn in his eyes. Unless he was quietly retreating now, he would go back as he came back. Otherwise, even if he bypassed the camp and sneaked into Silike's camp, he would cut off his retreat. He would not have room to retreat instead of that. It would be better to scoop down the camp first and then retreat immediately after scooping it down. That would also make Cao Cao pay attention to Sili and disperse Cao Cao's troops.
At this time, the steel knife in Zhou Tai raised the hand and rushed out with his men and Gan Ning hurriedly stopped him and said, "Let's wait!"
Zhou Tai looked at Gan Ning in confusion and asked, "What's the matter with my brother?"
Gan Ning smiled and said, "What's wrong with Youping? I've been used to rushing around in the past few years, and I forgot the rules of robbing the camp at the time?"
Zhou Tai asked strangely: "Brother, how could I forget it? But didn't you just say that sneak attacks were useless? Then why do we have to do this? Just go directly to the scene?"
Gan Ning said seriously: "There is no harm in trying the rules without nullifying them. Anyway, if we rush out like this, they will definitely try it out. We still have a certain chance. And even if we officially launch an attack, we must send a signal to General Zhao to cooperate with us to attack together. Are you learning the key points of collaborative combat in the military academy for nothing? Will you give the instructors the key points of collaborative combat in vain?"
Zhou Tai touched his head and looked at Gan Ning with a stupid love.
At this time, Gan Ning clicked his hand and asked a team to extinguish two torches outside the Mengjin camp. Try how the Mengjin camp reacted
After receiving the order, the team scooped out a piece of earthy yellow color, with many irregular elbow-patterned camouflage cloth draped on it and then all lay on the ground and slowly crawled forward.
Not to mention these people put the camouflage cloth on their bodies, and then climbed like this. Not to mention that it is night now, but the torches are illuminating the night sky, even if ordinary people in broad daylight are far away, they can't see clearly.
Even Zhou Tai, who knew that this team was disguised like this, could not tell where the team had crawled after the disguised team now?
Zhou Tai couldn't help but sigh: "Brother! This treasure of camouflage is such a good thing. How did our lord figure this out? A living person was so confused that he couldn't see it. If we had this thing a few years ago, we would have to die fewer brothers."
Gan Ning and Jiang Qin nodded in agreement
Finally, the teams that were slowly crawling to the predetermined target safely and safely before five people quietly lifted a small corner of the camouflage cloth, slowly exposed a blow tube and blew it hard, then covered the camouflage cloth, and lay motionlessly on the spot.
No one could see clearly what was wrong just now, but if they were close, they would see a stream of white powder blew towards the predetermined torch along the faint night wind.
These white powders are specially made in Youzhou. They are exclusive secret recipes from a master of stealing. They saw that the powders were blown onto the torch. The two torches immediately caused a series of fire to shake, as if the grease of the torch was about to be burned.
Gan Ning and others who were closely following this action were also very nervous. This was the most critical moment. Success or failure was here. As long as the torch was safely extinguished, and no one came to investigate the situation, then this perfect defense measure would create a visual blind spot. Your troops could touch Cao's camp from this black area and sneak attack.
At this time, a Cao soldier saw the fire in Cao's camp jumping. He pushed the veteran next to him and asked, "Brother, look at the two torches, how did they jump?"
As the saying goes: If a person is going to be unlucky, he will get lucky if he drinks a sip of cold water.
At this time, Cao Cao deserves to be unlucky. Liu Bin is lucky. The new Cao army recruits who are in charge of this defense area have already discovered something strange, but he just asked the veteran next to him.
The veteran soldier has been in the army for many years and has indeed had a lot of experience in fighting, but he has a lot of experience in being lazy and sloppy. Just like now, the two of them are on guard, but he has all given them to the recruit. He secretly dozed off.
As a result, he was woken up by the recruit, and woke up with some boredom and asked, "Which?"
"That's those two"
Although the veteran was lazy, he was afraid of mistakes and hurriedly followed the direction of the recruit's finger. The veteran cursed casually: "What's the fuss about? The fire is about to be burned? Didn't you see that there is not even a ghost nearby? As long as there is no one, you care about it, so many of them are now at the fourth day, and it's almost dawn. One or two of the tens of thousands of torches are burning faster and almost finished. What's so strange about this?"
The recruit was convinced and felt that there were still veterans who knew more, so he asked again: "Brother or do you know more and really tell you whether we need to report this matter?"
"Ahhhh! You still report this little thing? Are you looking for a fight?"
The recruit asked in a confused manner: "Why do we ask for a fight when we report this?"
The veteran laughed: "Silly boy, don't you see when the generals are sleeping soundly now. This is not a military matter. If you wake them up, why are you looking for a fight?"
"Ah! Brother, please do you know how much you know." The recruiter understood and flattered him. But the recruit looked at the torch that was about to be extinguished. He still asked with some concern: "Brother, why don't we make two torches and replace them yourself so that the two torches will be extinguished and we can't see anything else."
"You are stupid, you are really in trouble. You want to go out torches in the military camp. Don't you implement military orders? Then will you start again and find a general to fight. It's about to light up this day. It's not enough to urinate for a while. What can't happen if you urinate for a while? There's only one or two less torches. You'll save energy and wait for a while to hand over to the camp to rest."
"I'll listen to you, brother," the recruiter said with a silly smile.
Just as the two Cao soldiers were talking, the two torches finally wiped out the two torches, and immediately a dark area of about twenty meters flashed out in the middle.
Gan Ning was overjoyed and quickly sent another hundred familiar old brothers to touch them.
These hundred old brothers were all Gan Ning's old subordinates when they were in trouble. They were all masters who came and went high and went to the dark whistle to plunder the city. Now, Cao's camp surrounded by torches had a loophole. These people immediately touched them like fish in water and soon came to the wall of Cao's army.
When they arrived at the village wall, these veterans were familiar with each other and built a bridge. Without any sound, they held a brother up. The brother was also experienced and wrapped a thick piece of felt around the sharp wooden thorns. Then he hanged a rope and slipped in quietly.
Soon, all of these people entered the camp and used the night as a cover and touched the arrow towers on both sides.
Soon, the sentries on the arrow tower were all confused and no one would call the police if there was any movement at the Ghost Village Gate.
At this time, these masters gathered together and touched the guards of the village gate.
If you want to kill these guards of the village gate, it will be more difficult than killing the sentries on the arrow tower. The sentries on the arrow tower are just alone in groups, and they have no intention of being guarded. If you meet these assassinated masters, you will of course be killed silently and it will be impossible to react.
But the guards of these village gates are different. First, the neighborhood of the village gate is brighter. If you want to touch too close and not be seen, it is absolutely impossible. Secondly, the guards of these village gates are also guarding a team of people. There are more than 60 people who want to put them all at once without revealing a little. It is really difficult to ascend to the sky. But as long as one person misses the net, he will definitely be able to issue a warning signal. At that time, the Ganning army will encounter many troubles.
However, these people are worthy of being masters. They all find out a pipe of blowing arrows. The captain sets their own goals. Each person takes charge of one. Under the command of the captain, they blow out with force at the same time.
When those arrows were blowing without a bowstring, they were all thin steel needles. The steel needles were covered with the poison of blood-sealing throat. They were definitely a weapon for assassination. The soldiers from Cao camp died from needles and did not even have time to shout out a sigh of exclamation.
After cleaning up the guards of the village gate, the people opened the village gate and Gan Ning led his own group of people and rushed in.
With the Ganning land signaling Zhao Yun's cavalry, they rushed into the camp quickly
This kill is really awesome
The Bing Dong in Cao's camp was awakened when he was sleeping soundly, and the hasty response was all panic and unwilling to respond. And suddenly there was no time to wear armor when the incident happened. Even the weapons were not very complete, and Gan Ning and Zhao Yun were all well prepared to bring the troops. The strength of each of them was naturally distinguished.
By dawn, the battle had ended all the officers and soldiers of Cao's army's Mengjin barracks. No one escaped under the surrounding area of Gan Ning. They were either killed or captured. Zhao Yun and Gan Ning got only a dozen people, and only a few dozen people were slightly injured.
After interrogation, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning knew why the Mengjin barracks were so strict.
The Mengjin barracks were camps arranged by Cao Cao when he had just taken Luoyang. The purpose was to prevent the sneak attacks of the Xiliang Army and Youzhou Army. You know, Luoyang was still a member of the officials at that time.
The setting of the Mengjin barracks is extremely important in a small court where you are located (to be continued, welcome to vote for monthly votes,
