Zhang Yan led five thousand elite horsemen, and after a long journey, he got closer and closer to Baimajin.

It was already Shen Shi, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the earth, Zhang Yan and the others moved forward cautiously, walking less than five miles away, and a brocade-clothed guard was quietly waiting for the arrival of the army in front.

When Zhang Yan saw Jinyiwei, he immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, and he himself rode forward to talk to Jinyiwei.

Zhang Yan learned from Jinyiwei that this place was still eight miles away from Baimajin, and if he went further, he would enter the sight of Yuan's patrol, and suggested that he wait here for dark, and after dark, it would not be too late to act.

In addition, Jinyiwei also informed Zhang Yan that fifty Jinyi guards had secretly infiltrated the vicinity of Baimajin, and the rest of the Jinyi guards would continue to sneak in secretly, and then they all hid, and when it was nightfall, as soon as Zhang Yan's army arrived, they immediately launched an attack and acted according to Jihua.

Zhang Yan then listened to the advice of Jinyiwei, if he acted at night, because the night was difficult to distinguish, the enemy could not guess how many soldiers and horses he had brought, and it would be easy to do things after dark.

With Zhang Yan's order, all the 5,000 elite cavalry of the whole army were on standby for the news, and the sentries went to a radius of three miles to set up a sentry, and once they found anything abnormal, they would immediately report it.

At this time, after a long journey, the cavalry were also sleepy and lacking horses, although they were all lightly armed, but the armor they wore was still made of stainless steel, and its weight reached more than 20 catties, just like carrying a heavy object on their backs, although the soldiers could stand it, the war horses under the seat could not stand it.

But in order to reduce casualties, this kind of armor had to be worn. It has a very haode defense against the upper body.

Zhang Yan rolled over and jumped off the horse. Call Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, and Lu Meng all to his side. Pick up a small branch from the ground and scribble it on the ground.

Soon, a miniature topographical map appeared on the ground. Rather than a topographic map, a simple sand table is more accurate.

After Zhang Yan finished painting, he said to the generals: "This is the grain and grass camp of the Yuan army in Baimajin, and the large piece in the middle is the grain and grass hoarded by the Yuan army, which is distributed in the four directions of east, south, west and north. It is the four camps of the Yuan army, and this long line is the fence that connects the four camps, and the dot in the middle of this long line is the watchtower set up by the Yuan army. In addition, there are still 10 patrol teams patrolling five miles outside the Baimajin Grain and Grass Camp, each team has about 200 people, and each patrol team has its own fixed route for patrolling, but the patrol teams are all criss-crossed, and there are basically no dead ends at all. These. It was the situation of Yuan's army in the grain and grass camp in Baimajin that Jinyiwei reported to me, and the entire camp was very well defended. ”

After everyone listened. They were all embarrassed for a while, and they definitely didn't expect that Yuan Jun's defense would be so strong.

Xu Chu was the first to shout: "Anyway, if we want to burn down this grain and grass camp, just rush over directly, cut down those patrol teams first, and then attack the grain and grass camp, I don't believe it, our elite cavalry specially drawn out can't complete the task!" ”

"If you fight hard, I'm afraid that you will startle the snake, if you alarm any patrol, it may attract the rest of the patrol, Yuan Jun's patrol team alone has 2,000 people, and it will already be very time-consuming just to deal with them, let alone rush forward for five miles and attack the grain and grass camp. I'm afraid that our side has not yet arrived, and the grain and grass camp has already made preparations, waiting for our army! Gao Shun spoke.

Zhang Liao said: "My lord, my subordinates feel that what General Gao said is very reasonable, our army has few soldiers, and it is a sneak attack, if we confront the Yuan army head-on, we will definitely pay a lot of casualties." And it's likely that more reinforcements will be attracted. ”

"Well, I think so too. If you fight hard, you definitely can't. We are here secretly this time just to keep people from knowing that we have arrived here, to create the suddenness of the surprise attack and to catch the enemy by surprise. Otherwise, why should we come all the way here, and just start a war with Yuan Shao directly. Zhang Yan said.

Gan Ning and Lu Meng were silent, they were the generals who were exceptionally selected, Xu Chu and Zhang Liao were listed among the Five Tiger Generals, although Gao Shun was not the Five Tigers, but he had great military achievements, and he was also a prestigious general in Zhang Yan's army.

After Zhang Yan, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun expressed their opinions, Gan Ning and Lu Meng did not say a word, and sat quietly listening to the speeches of Zhang Yan and others.

Zhang Yan looked around and asked, "Let's wait here until after dark, but we can't avoid solving the obstacle of the patrol team first." Since you can't fight hard, you have to outwit it, do you have any suggestions for haode? ”

Lu Meng immediately volunteered to clasp his fists and said: "Lord Qi, the tiger also has a nap, the last general doesn't believe it, these patrols have no flaws." The last general is willing to go to the front to investigate, and he will definitely find out the flaws in the enemy's army! ”

Zhang Yan saw that Lu Meng recommended himself, and he was not hypocritical, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you 200 people, and you take them to investigate." ”

Lu Meng said: "Lord Qi, the general will not need so many people, and if there are too many people, it will be a mistake." ”

"And how many people do you want?" Zhang Yan asked.

Lu Meng said: "As long as the two scouts pass the news, it is enough!" ”

Zhang Yan said: "Okay! I'll send you two scouts, led by you, to the front line to investigate carefully, and be sure to find the flaws! ”

"Whoa!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan immediately called two scouts and asked them to follow Lu Meng away.

Lü Meng took the two scouts and went to the place where the Yuan army patrol haunted.

And Zhang Yan and the others all rested in place, trying their best to recuperate, waiting for a big battle in the evening.

It was getting dark, and the night was falling, and there was darkness between heaven and earth.

There was no moon tonight, and it was wrapped in thick clouds in haze, which brought convenience to the movement of Zhang Yan and others.

Two and a half hours later, Lu Meng returned to the place where the army had gathered, went directly to Zhang Yan, and said to Zhang Yan with a happy face: "Lord, I found the flaw." ”

Zhang Yan hurriedly asked what the flaw was, and Lu Meng told him how to find the flaw, and the hard work paid off, Lu Meng waited for more than an hour, and finally waited for the flaw he wanted.

According to Lu Meng, Yuan Jun's patrol team is indeed like the news inquired by Jinyiwei, there are ten teams, and each team has a fixed patrol route, and the location where each patrol team wants to patrol must be at least staggered with the other three patrol teams, so that a tight protective net is formed, and whoever wants to get close to Bai Ma Jin has already been discovered by the patrol team before they can see what Bai Ma Jin looks like.

However, as Lu Meng said before, tigers also have times to nap.

Sure enough.

Yuan Jun's patrol team changed guards every two hours, and during each change of guard, ten patrol teams would not be in place at one time, but would enter the patrol site one after another. In this way, when changing defenses, there will be an extremely short gap period, and this short period of time will last about a quarter of an hour.

Speaking of which, Lu Meng was too lucky, when he just passed, he was just in time for the Yuan army patrol team to change guards, and after two hours, he changed guards for the second time.

The time gap once or twice may be just a coincidence, but the careful Lü Meng specially sent scouts to find the Jinyi Guard who was responsible for monitoring the enemy forces in this vicinity, and after getting the first-hand information, he neutralized it, and the result confirmed that Lü Meng's gap in this time period did exist, and it was very safe.

When Zhang Yan heard the news, he was very happy, and immediately praised Lu Meng, and then calculated according to the time, continued to stay in place, and when the time of the gap was about to come, Zhang Yan asked Lu Meng to lead the way, and led the army to take advantage of that time to approach Baimajin!

After another hour, news continued to come from scouts, and the remaining Jinyi guards had already taken their places, and a hundred elite Jinyi guards had already hidden near the grain and grass camp, as soon as Zhang Yan's army arrived, they would immediately set fire to the grain and grass camp.

Time passed quickly, and when the time of the gap was about to come, Zhang Yan ordered all the departments to assemble their teams and prepare to set off.

After the whole army is assembled, the army that is recuperating here has begun to move.

Lu Meng was at the front of the army, and only he remembered where this gap would appear, and Zhang Yan followed with great trust.

Soon, the army came to the position that Lu Meng had said, and waited silently in the darkness.

After about a stick of incense, the patrol team also reached the time of the exchange class, Zhang Yan and the others all widened their eyes, and sure enough, they saw that the patrol team with torches had not waited for the patrol team of the exchange class to arrive, so they took the initiative to withdraw.

"Lord, it's now!" Seeing that the patrol team was walking away, Lu Meng saw the opportunity and immediately shouted loudly.

Zhang Yan was not reserved, rode out of his horse, led 5,000 elite cavalry, swaggered through the defense line of the patrol team with lightning speed, and then drove towards Baimajin non-stop.

Although Zhang Yan and the others were wearing Yuan Jun's clothes, the five thousand people acting together were really too big for some of the targets.

Therefore, Zhang Yan asked the three generals Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun to lead a thousand cavalry each, and went to three different directions in Baimajin, ready to attack at any time. And Zhang Yan himself led two thousand cavalry such as Gan Ning and Lu Meng to march towards the grain and grass camp of Baimajin.

At this moment, the camps around the grain and grass camp in Baimajin are brightly lit, and the soldiers are working day and night.

Zhang Yan and the others were wearing Yuan Shaojun's clothes, and even if they were met by Yuan Jun, no one would notice anything different about Zhang Yan and the others.

A moment later, Zhang Yan and the others had already come to the outside of Baimajin's grain and grass camp, but they suddenly launched an attack on Baimajin...... (To be continued......)
