"How do you know? Have you checked everything here?" Ao Yu's dragon soul can't explore the entire military camp.???
"I asked you to read more books but you refused, and you didn't learn the rules of the army. Just do some calculations and you will know. A normal military camp will not set up more than one fodder yard, and the garrison will store no less than seven days' worth of fodder. This also includes
Materials used for livestock such as mules, horses, and land oxen to pull carts. Based on the inventory here, the military camp plus the cavalry in the pass are only 2,500, and the transportation capacity cannot guarantee the cost of a 20,000-strong army.
Even if the task of transporting supplies is undertaken by the rear, once a fierce battle breaks out, the transportation load will increase exponentially, and the personnel stationed in the military camp will become a fatal injury. Insufficient supply of supplies will lead to a lack of morale in the army and large-scale non-combat attrition. In a long-term garrison,
There should not be such a big loophole in the military camp, so the size of the garrison here is about 10,000 to 15,000 people." Ding Kui's accumulated experience is not only in combat.
"Human wars are complicated. The dragon clan doesn't need to consider so much." Ao Yu could understand every word, but he didn't understand the meaning, which was a complete waste of Ding Kui's earnest words.
"Okay, pretend I didn't say it. Let's go look for the water source in the camp. I wonder if we can do something about the water source." Ding Kui knew Ao Yu's virtues and did not forget his mission.
Zhenbeiguan is only more than 20 miles away from the Great Swamp and has abundant underground water resources. The defenders relied on well water to solve the water problem.
Ding Kui and Ao Yu could walk through most areas of the military camp at will, and they were careful to avoid places where high-level combatants might appear.
Qinglong's water film that can refract light is rarely used in front of humans. Those who know it have basically broken away from the category of humans. Not to mention the Meng Army's military camp, all military camps in the entire continent have no measures to prevent this kind of ability.
Except for the key points, the archers and magicians did not set up detection mechanisms inside the military camp. They did not believe that anyone could avoid the eyes and ears of everyone in the camp.
It just so happens that there are two aliens in this world, Ding Kui and Ao Yu. They have tried stealth operations in many Shaodian military camps. Now they are familiar with the roads in the Zhenbeiguan military camp, walking around areas they think are safe in full view of the public.
"The 23rd Division of the Third Meng Army is stationed here." Ding Kui was sure after spending a day in the military camp.
"I can't feel that there is a master." After leaving the swamp, Ao Yu's feeling of panic disappeared, and his body began to regain its arrogance.
"The master should be at the pass. Let's go in and take a look."
The final destination of the special operations brigade is not the military camp. Even if it cannot enter the pass, it will be useless to occupy the military camp.
The nine gates of the "Helian Jade Wall" were all built into castles. The outward gate is often closed and no one has the right to open it without the order of the highest commander in the castle; the inward gate is open during the day.
Yes, it will also be tightly closed after nightfall.
Ding Kui and Ao Yu followed a group of patrols into Zhenbeiguan. For the first time, Shaodian military personnel sneaked into the Meng Army's military fortress.
There were Meng troops guards everywhere in the castle, and there were torches and oil lamps everywhere. Ding Kui speculated that there would be no dark corners even at night.
"Hey, there are a lot of traps. Fortunately, I learned a little from Grandpa Qian. I can tell from what the Wind Archer and his subordinates have arranged." Ding Kui pulled Ao Yu and stood in the middle of the atrium, where there were the fewest guards.
"Oh my God, there are at least two brigades in the hidden soldier caves on both sides of the gate." Ding Kui saw their final destination.
"There is a window for inward attacks on the wall of the city gate." Ao Yu didn't know anything. He paid attention to things related to him. The responsibility of opening the gate would fall on him if nothing unexpected happened.
"No matter how many there are, I'll write them down first." Ding Kui didn't dare to use his mental power to scan casually, so he just forced to write down everything he saw in the castle through his eyes.
Woo, a low horn sounded, the castle's inward gate slowly closed, and several teams of soldiers holding torches lit up the lighting points in the castle one by one.
Ding Kui and Ao Yu sneaked near the large kitchen, where the castle guards were most lax.
"Just in time, I'm a little hungry." Ao Yu's eyes sparkled.
"Just eat a little secretly, don't go too much, otherwise you will be easily discovered. It will not be easy to escape from here." Ding Kui had to warn him again and again.
Dinner is being prepared in the large kitchen, and the chefs and servants are very busy. No one bothers to look after the room where the food is stored, leaving Ding Kui and Ao Yu to seize the opportunity.
Ding Kui took out a pen and paper from his ring and was making some simple marks while letting Ao Yu eat the food while helping him keep a lookout.
"Well, there is more food sent from these directions." At this time, Ding Kui dared to use his mental power to observe. No magician would pay attention to the kitchen while eating. "Oh, the ingredients sent from those directions are relatively high-end."
." He observed and recorded it.
"You are such a thief, you came here to collect intelligence." Ao Yu had to admire Ding Kui.
"The military is a place where rules are enforced. As long as you can find threads, you can infer a lot of information. Eating is an activity that everyone performs every day. This habit is not convenient to change every day. It is the most stable among many threads." Ding
Kui was very pleased with himself and was still in the mood to explain to Ao Yu.
"There may be people like me in places with plenty of food." Ao Yu expressed his opinion.
"It's possible, but the chance of there being a giant dragon among the defenders is so low that it can be completely ignored. There are people who are stronger than you, but there is absolutely no one with the same appetite as you."
"Someone is coming." Ao Yu rushed to Ding Kui's side and put his hand on Ding Kui's shoulder.
Two slaves walked into the room, each picked up a bag of grain and hurried out of the door, unaware that there were two other people in the room.
Ao Yu waited until the servant walked away before letting go of his hand and said, "It's impossible for those ants you brought to sneak into the castle."
"Stand guard tonight to see if there is such a tight defense all night long." Ding Kui frowned, "A small number of people can sneak in, but it is indeed very difficult to let everyone in."
matter."
After cooking dinner, the chef and the servant returned to their room. A small group of guards entered the kitchen and patrolled back and forth outside the room. The lights in all the empty rooms were still on, and no one came to extinguish them.
"It seems that the guards in the castle are much tighter than I thought." Ding Kui felt even more headache after seeing this.
"Huh? A magician's mental power swept over." Ao Yu's expression also became serious.
"Fortunately, his level is too low, even I can't notice it." Ding Kui breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his palms on his pants, "Let's go to the atrium, we are safest there."
