ββββThe following textββββ
Before the Wei State arrived here, the Chu army cut down almost half of the trees on Mengshan Mountain, and used these timbers to build this fortress-like military camp.
The reason why the adjective as if a fortress is used to describe the Monsan Chu camp is because this military camp covers an extremely wide area, and it can be said that from the halfway point of Mongshan, it is included in this Chu camp.
If you observe this Chu camp from a bird's-eye view, it is not difficult to find that the barracks of this Chu camp are in the shape of a hollow word, and the Chu general Doulian ordered the Chu soldiers to build a circle of barracks in the barracks, so if the outermost battalions are captured, to be honest, there is no guarantee that this Chu camp can be conquered.
Because of this, in today's daytime, Wei general Xu Yin initially ordered his generals Cai Baohu and Chu Xuan to lead the Xiwei Battalion and the Dongwei Battalion to attack this Chu battalion, and the two sides fought fiercely for most of the hour.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Chu general Doulian built this military camp as impregnable, and the defensive strength is probably no less than the Wei Yanshui camp built by Zhao Hongrun in Yanshui, and it is no wonder that he has such confidence, and he did not hesitate to surrender the gate of the outermost barracks to the Wei army, inducing the Wei general Xu Yin to launch a fierce attack on this military camp.
Of course, although the Mengshan Chu camp is heavily defended, it is also necessary to distinguish the objects it faces: for ordinary soldiers, the Mengshan military camp is indeed an impregnable fortress, but for some hidden thieves who are good at flying eaves and walls, the so-called strong defense is just a joke.
"Whoosh-"
With a slight sound of penetration, Duan Pei, the leader of the Shangshui Green Crows, sneaked to the northwest of Monshan with more than 100 Green Crows, and came to the end of the mountain forest halfway up the mountainside.
Suddenly, Duan Pei stopped, leaned against a mountain tree, and looked at the Chuying camp not far away with a grim face.
Seeing this, the more than 100 green crows who followed him also immediately stopped and hid.
At this moment, Duan Pei was at the end of the mountain forest halfway up the mountain, and the distance from the Chu army camp not far away was about thirty or forty zhang away -- in order to prevent a sneak attack, the Chu army opened up an open field about a few dozen zhang outside the barracks.
This distance is not very easy to handle......
Duan Pei visually measured the distance between his position and the Chu camp not far away, and there was a slight concern in his eyes.
As far as he knows, this Mengshan Chu camp built by the Chu army, it was built in a very interesting place, the entire military camp has only one exit, which is built in the east direction of Mengshan, and the other three sides are all camps as high as about two zhang, which can be said to be a dead end that ordinary soldiers cannot pass.
But even so, General Chu Doulian still deployed troops to defend on the other three sides.
For example, on the side where Duan Pei is right now, within his field of vision, there are three guard towers, and the distance between each two guard towers is about two hundred steps, if the Chu camp is full of guard towers built according to this spacing, then not to mention a sneak attack on ordinary soldiers, even for the Green Crows and others, it is a big challenge.
Because of the distance of two hundred steps, this is within the shooting range of bows and arrows and crossbows, which can allow each guard tower to shelter each other, so if Duan Pei wants to take down these guard towers, he must be silent, otherwise, not to mention that it will alarm the Chu soldiers in the camp, and even be attacked by the flying arrows of the Chu soldiers on duty on the rest of the guard towers.
However, what gave Duan Pei the most headache was not the Chu soldiers on duty on the sentry towers, but on both sides of the sentry towers, the braziers that were erected high, and the raging flames in the brazier illuminated the surrounding area, although the light was not very sufficient, but the figures outside the camp gate could still be seen.
What to do?
Duan Pei squinted his eyes and stared at the top of the watchtower directly opposite, looking intently at the few Chu soldiers holding weapons above, observing them carefully.
According to his observations, each of these towers was probably guarded by a soldier, two swordmen and shieldmen with shields, and three crossbowmen with crossbows.
However, there were only enough people to stand on the watchtower, so every once in a while, these five Chu soldiers would change guards, and the sleepy soldiers climbed down the watchtower, probably resting and napping in the camp fence, while the companions who had rested for a while took over the defense of Tongze.
In short, it was a guard tower guarded by a soldier, Duan Pei observed for a while, but he didn't find any other tricks.
This made Duan Pei secretly say a fluke in his heart: after all, it was much easier to sneak in under two or three pairs of eyes than to dive close to this Chu camp under five pairs of eyes.
But the problem is that even if there are only two or three Chu soldiers guarding each guard tower in the opposite barracks, it is still a challenge to get closer.
But Duan Pei did not flinch or fear in his heart, but was in high spirits.
Thinking about it, I think that when they were a few groups of hidden thieves nesting in that small place in Yangxia, in addition to fighting with each other, how could they have done any sensational things? And now, they are going to sneak attack a military camp guarded by nearly 10,000 Chu troops.
It's simply ...... It's so fucking exciting!
Of course, in addition to the excitement, the reward given by the lord to whom they were allegiated, Su Wang Hongrun, was also the reason for them to risk their lives.
Although the current reward is still limited to wealth, Duan Pei believes that sooner or later, he will be born into a group of hidden thieves, and he who has done a lot of dirty things in the past, may also become a noble lord and become a noble lord who is envied by the common people.
Of course, you have to catch up with the summer crows.
I have to say that if it is not the only one, it means that there is competition, just like the Yanling Army and the Shang Shui Army, as the only two hidden thieves under the command of King Zhao Hongrun, although the Shang Water Green Crow and the Yangxia Black Crow both serve the same monarch, there will still be competition with each other.
Of course, this is exactly the result that Zhao Hongrun wants.
Wait!
Duan Pei conveyed a message of peace and quiet to the green crows behind him, after all, before he set off, Zhao Hongrun had told him that they, the green crows, were the key to this battle.
For a full hour, Duan Pei stood straight behind a tree, staring intently at the Chu soldiers on those guard towers, not only feeling a sore back, but even his eyes began to pantothenic, and even tears.
But even so, all the green crows, including Duan Pei, still maintained the highest concentration.
Suddenly, a warning drum sounded in the Chu camp, which made Duan Pei slightly stunned.
Exposed? Oh, no......
After being slightly startled, Duan Pei immediately guessed that this might be the drumbeat of the Chu camp to summon the soldiers in the camp, after all, at this moment, the Chu general Dou Lian, who was guarding this military camp, was leading the Chu army under his command down the mountain to start a fierce battle with the Fencheng army.
Not to mention, the truth of the matter was really guessed by Duan Pei, and General Chu Doulian did transfer troops from the military camp.
And the most direct embodiment of this incident is that the guards of the Chu army on the guard tower on Duan Pei's side seem to have been removed by half, making one of the guard towers originally about two hundred steps apart vacant.
Seeing this, a look of ecstasy flashed on Duan Pei's face.
Because it meant that within the same range, they only had to watch out for a watchtower, and the difficulty was reduced by half compared to just now.
Get ready for action!
Duan Pei conveyed a message to the green crows behind him.
After a while, Duan Pei picked a position with relatively dim light, bent his waist, and tiptoed towards the Chuying camp.
The distance of thirty or forty zhang is neither far nor close, and along the way, Duan Pei's heart is like beating a drum, pounding.
However, it turned out that his latent skills were still very good, and he ran quickly and did not make any sound during the period, so that when he secretly calmed down with his back to the camp fence, behind him, on the guard tower inside the camp fence, the two condescending Chu soldiers did not notice his arrival at all.
Even, the two Chu soldiers were still chatting, probably chatting about the night battle under the mountain at the moment.
Let's talk, let's talk, and I'll send you to Hades in a moment.
Duan Pei secretly snorted coldly, and then beckoned to the forest opposite.
A moment later, another crow silently and quickly approached him, and then he bent his knees slightly, put his hands together in a gesture ready to be raised.
Seeing this, Duan Pei stepped on the hand of his companion, and with the help of his strength, he climbed the camp fence, and the whole person lay on it and hung his hand down.
At this time, he saw that the companion took his hand and borrowed his strength, and the other hand also climbed the camp fence smoothly.
Immediately, the two quickly turned into the camp.
They were very careful, because not far away, there were three Chu soldiers sitting there with their weapons in their hands, and they didn't know if they were napping.
Duan Pei and the green crow looked at each other, took out the dagger from behind his waist, cautiously lurked over, covered the mouth and nose of a Chu soldier with one hand, and then cut his throat and pierced his heart, so that the two Chu soldiers couldn't even scream before they died, so they subconsciously opened their eyes wide, and walked towards death in a daze.
Even, the companions around the two Chu soldiers didn't even notice this at all.
After a moment, Duan Pei eliminated the third Chu soldier, and then pointed to the sentry tower above.
The green crow people understood, and then, Duan Pei and he quickly turned over to the sentry tower, and with lightning speed, they each assassinated a Chu soldier with a method similar to Fang Cai.
Hmph, the vigilance is nothing more than that, it's really a vain worry......
Shaking off the blood on the dagger, Duan Pei looked at the corpse at his feet a little speechlessly.
I have to say that his assessment is obviously biased, after all, how did the Chu army know that there were still assassins in the Wei army?
A moment later, more than 100 crows climbed over the camp fence one after another.
But seeing Duan Pei make a gesture to disperse, more than a hundred green crows immediately scattered in all directions and went to hunt down the Chu soldiers on duty near them.
For a while, the nearby Chu army sentry guards didn't know how many were assassinated.
After killing the Chu Junhou in this vicinity, Duan Pei and the others stripped off the armor on the corpses of these Chu soldiers and put them on themselves, and immediately, a group of people set fire to the camp and set fire to everything that could be set on fire in the vicinity.
Monsan Chu camp, fire in the rear. (To be continued.) )
