A wand-wielding magician is responsible for the night guard of Zhenbei Pass. It is not an easy task to check the entire castle mentally. He only checks it once when there is no threat from the enemy.
Ding Kui and Ao Yu did not waste a single night, constantly simulating seizing the city gate in the castle, looking for possible sneak routes.
It wasn't until dawn that the inner city gate opened again, and the two people who hadn't slept all night secretly left Zhenbei Pass.
"Let's go pick up Grandpa Wan." Ding Kui looked back at the military camp shrouded in heavy fog. He still didn't have a clear plan in his mind, so he decided to put it aside for now.
At the end of the war zone competition, Wanmai approached Ding Kui and made an appointment with him on the place and method of contact behind enemy lines. He wanted to cross the "Helian Jade Wall" without having to go through the trouble of the special operations brigade, so he did not go with him to the Great Swamp, Level 5
How can a top warrior be the same as an ordinary soldier?
Ding Kui arrived at the agreed place, but there was no mark left by Xian Wanmai, so he had to leave his own mark. However, it was too far away from Zhenbeiguan and there was no time to rush back on the same day, so he chose to sleep out for a night and try his luck to see if he could get there.
Waiting for 10,000 purchases.
It just so happened that that night Wan Mai led a small group of Jiang Xi's soldiers to a section of the city wall between Zhenbei Pass and Yangting Pass.
The terrain of this section of the city wall is quite dangerous, and the Meng Army only has a small number of troops stationed here, basically serving as lookouts.
The greatest role of a city wall as long as the "Helian Jade Wall" is to defend ordinary soldiers. It is impossible for the defenders to arrange for high-level combatants to cover the entire city wall, so the effect on preventing high-level combatants is very low.
"The five of you go over there. The five of you go over there. When the patrol comes to the middle of you, light a fire and climb the wall together. If you encounter resistance from the defenders, retreat. You don't have to worry about the rest." Wanmai
Order the small group of soldiers.
A simple attack from the east to the west attracted the attention of all the Meng defenders. Wanmai easily climbed over the city wall and entered the enemy-occupied area alone.
"Think about where you can hide people?" Ding Kui spread out a sketch and consulted with the bored Ao Yu, "Let's get a few people into the castle first, and then get the big troops in."
"The castle is small and there are many defenders. Every place where people can hide is inspected by patrols. If I let go of my hand, you won't be able to hide." Ao Yu shook his head and said.
"The wells of the military camp and the castle are all dug on the same underground lake."
"We are the only ones who can use it. Will the others not be drowned if we go down?"
"If we control a few sentry posts, we can secretly open the inner door first."
"Where are you outside? The guards standing outside will definitely find you if they don't fall asleep." Ao Yu interrupted Ding Kui again.
"I want you to give me some advice. I'm not asking you to attack me, but can you come up with something constructive?" Ding Kui got a little angry.
Ao Yu shrugged, already used to Ding Kui's behavior.
Suddenly, he pressed Ding Kui's shoulder and said, "Someone is coming here." The water film covered Ding Kui along his arm.
Ding Kui quickly put away the sketch, quickly dispersed his mental energy, and checked the situation around him.
"Put away the water film, don't scare Grandpa Wan." Ding Kui soon discovered that Wan Mai did not hide his whereabouts.
"Master, have you been waiting here for a long time?" Wanmai saw the fire here from a distance. Because he saw the mark left by Ding Kui and the traces left by the large army, he did not worry about an enemy ambush.
.
"We have just arrived, so Ding Kui is ashamed to have Grandpa Wan make this trip."
Wanmai asked directly: "Do you know the situation inside the customs clearance?"
Ding Kui took out the sketch and explained it to Wanmai, giving a general overview of the situation of Zhenbeiguan.
"Is it only guarded by magicians with sticks at night? Well, I'll go in and take a look tomorrow, and you can take a closer look at the military camp."
Although Wanmai doesn't know the art of invisibility, this peak sunset archer's stealth skills are at the pinnacle. Ding Kui and Ao Yu might not have an easier time than him.

Kada City, the city closest to Zhenbeiguan among the only three remaining cities in Nanqiu County, is where the commanders of the three major armies now gather.
"Master Tan discovered Commander Wan's secret message. He has already contacted the special operations brigade." Jin Man reported the latest military information.
"Should we order a feint attack on Yangting Pass and Xiaxuan Pass?" Gongsun Mi's troops have been in the southern defense zone for the longest time and can be regarded as half masters.
"It's not appropriate to only attack those two passes and not the Zhenbei Pass. It will arouse the enemy's suspicion. He Lianyu's attention is in the central defense area. There is no need for us to attract her attention." Although Jin Man is not afraid of He Lianyu
, but I don’t want to cause trouble.
"Jin Shuai, this plan comes from you. How long will it take for Ding Kui's special operations brigade to sneak into the pass? I still have half of the main force on the way." Gu Jun asked.
"The longer we delay, the easier it will be for the enemy to discover us. If I were them, they would take action within three to five days. The enemy would definitely be caught off guard."
"Now we have twenty divisions in total. Gu Shuai doesn't have to worry about the strength of the troops. Even if we attack tomorrow night, we will have enough troops to capture and hold Zhenbei Pass." Gongsun Mi and Gu Jun pretended to be stupid.
The plan this time is for the 21st Army to attack mainly, and the 22nd Army to fight in coordination with the 1st Army of the Central Plains. Gongsun Mi’s calculation is that it is best if Gu Jun’s people are not present, so that his troops can go up and divide the effort.
Count how much.
"Hahaha, in fact, as long as Gu Shuai and Master Tan are here, everyone's troops will be the same." Jin Man, the chief planner and commander, did not have the main attack, so he wanted to fish in troubled waters at this time.
"Haha, if the bastards can't escape, we have to rely on you two." Gu Jun pretended to be generous, but he had already scolded Jin Man and Gongsun Mi in his heart.

After another day of investigation, Wanmai drew a more complete and detailed topographic map of Zhenbeiguan, which was put together with the sketch of the military camp drawn by Ding Kui. "The defense in Zhenbeiguan is tight, and the only flaw is that it cannot expand too much."
With the strength of the troops, the entire atrium plus the attack points on the surrounding heights can accommodate at most three to four thousand people in a melee, so as long as all of our people enter the pass, we can support them until reinforcements arrive."
"Let alone sneaking into the customs, it would be very difficult for everyone to sneak into the military camp without being discovered." Ding Kui obviously didn't think of a way.
"Well, there are usually only five thousand people in the military camp. Suddenly, a thousand more people are really an eyesore. How is the situation in the granary? Will there be a large amount of grain shipped in the near future?" Wanmai did not stay in the military camp.
"We took a peek at the records of the baggage camp. The grain here is delivered once a month. They are all shipped directly from Juyang City. It will take about ten days to wait for the next batch."
Ding Kui also thought about sneaking into the military camp by sneaking into the grain transport convoy, so he focused on checking the granaries in the military camp.
"Ten days? How long will it take for the brigade to arrive?" Wanmai asked.
"Two days, they can arrive in two days."
"Well, let's do this. Let them come here first. I will observe them carefully in the next two days and find a way to let the brigade sneak into the military camp."
