A scout team left the ferry barracks and conducted a routine inspection south along the east bank of Baitan River. The 70th Division would send such a team every afternoon. The main purpose was to observe whether the 62nd and 67th legions had any signs of crossing the river. That was Shi Shi's special purpose.
assigned tasks.
Less than three miles away from the camp, the scout captain discovered two people by the river. However, judging from their clothing, they were soldiers and of high rank. Upon closer inspection, the scout captain immediately led his team to approach quickly.
Before the scout team could get closer, a man by the river stopped them by walking more than a dozen steps and chatted quietly with the team leader. After chatting, the scout team respectfully saluted the other man, then mounted his horse and headed east.
The man who stopped the scout walked back and said, "Sir, according to your instructions, I asked them to inquire about the Sun girl. But will this harm your reputation?"
"Haha, for the survival of Shaodian Kingdom, what does my, Luo Yong's, personal reputation mean? It's worth it to take advantage of the reputation of the entire Luo family. With all these comings and goings, they definitely won't have time to check out where the 62nd Division is stationed and what our plans are.
That's half the battle. Follow them and make sure they are asking about the Sun girls, if not, kill them all."
It turned out that Luo Yong and his personal soldiers were waiting for the scout team by the river.
The soldier hesitated: "What about you?"
"I can go back by myself. Do the guards dare to ask you where you have been?" Luo Yong dismissed the soldiers and rode back to the 70th Division's headquarters alone.
Chai Xulin, the commander of the 70th Division, suddenly felt upset. He dropped his military affairs and planned to walk outside the tent to relax. The staff officer hurriedly followed him and asked: "Sir, what is your password tonight?"
Chai Xulin said casually: "Dust, Angelica."
The scorching sun in May paid more attention to the sky, and night was reluctant to fall. When it took over the sky, the military camp quickly became quiet.
The soldiers who had endured a day of drills got into the tent, took off their clothes and armor, fell on the bed and refused to move, even though the tent was filled with a rancid smell. People who were active under the light basically had military duties, and no one wanted to at this time
Stuck in his armor, he was always on guard against the inspections of the generals.
"Who? Password!" the guard captain of the rear camp shouted to a group of people approaching the gate.
"It's me." A tall and thin man came to the front. A man who looked like a soldier captain behind him shouted: "Why don't you come over and pay homage to the Chief of Staff."
"Ouch." The guard captain quickly ran a few steps forward and saluted the tall and thin man, "I'm sorry to see you, Mr. Luo. I couldn't recognize you in time due to the dim light. Please forgive me."
"What's your crime for being loyal to your duty? By the way, no one has reported tonight's password to me yet, what is the password?" Luo Yong patted the guard captain's shoulder kindly.
"Reporting to your lord, the command is 'Dust, Angelica'."
The guard captain answered hurriedly.
"Well, very good, we need to strictly investigate all suspicious people." Luo Yong turned around and pointed, "You, take a few people to go outside and check that all the sentries are clear. If anyone remembers the password, I will arrest them all back to the camp.
.”
The person he was referring to was the soldier who appeared by the river in the afternoon, and was also his soldier captain, Luo Hun.
Luo Hun ordered seven or eight soldiers and led them out of the rear camp. You must know that Luo Yong came to inspect the ferry, and he only came to find fault if he said anything unpleasant. He could deal with anyone he didn't like by military law, even Chai Xulin.
No exception. How could the people of the 70th Division dare to stop him and his soldiers?
The interlude in front of the gate of the rear camp did not last long. Luo Yong took the people to wander elsewhere, and the guard captain barely beat gongs and drums to see them off.
With a click, a dead branch was trampled and broken. Only then did the whistleblower realize that someone was approaching from behind. He immediately held his breath and disappeared, huddled motionless in his hiding place.
"Dust! I am the chief of staff's personal soldier, here to check the post." The visitor stood still and gave the order.
"Angelica."
The whistler came out of the tree hole to answer, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat. There was only air coming out of his lungs but no air entering. A stream of heat poured down his esophagus, and his consciousness was quickly disappearing.
Luo Hun put away his short bow and said coldly: "The sixth one." Then he held his hands like a drum, pointed it at his mouth and blew hard, "Gu Gu Gu Gu."
With a rustle, a group of men and horses in the distance approached quietly under the cover of darkness. The leader was very fast, and he arrived in front of Luo Hun in three or five steps.
"General Chen, why are you personally leading the team?" Luo Hun recognized the person as the commander of the 62nd Division, which was a bit unexpected.
"Lao Luo dared to take you soldiers to meet us in the enemy camp. Why can't I lead the troops to steal the camp?" Chen Chao now called Luo Yong much more affectionately, "How is the security situation in the rear camp? How are we?
Can we attack by force?"
"The situation is like this. The sentry in the direction of the back door has been cleared. Your Excellency can send twenty brothers with outstanding skills to the humble post. The humble post will pretend to tie them up and then escort them to the camp, falsely claiming that they are derelict in their duties..."
While Luo Hun was introducing the situation, the elites of the 62nd and 67th divisions approached one after another, and there were one or two thousand people in the dark area.
"No problem!" Chen Chao immediately picked out twenty of his most powerful men, wrapped a few hemp ropes around their bodies, and followed Luo Hun to the gate of the deception camp. They didn't even need to change their military uniforms, they only hid their weapons.
.
"Password!"
"dust!"
"Angelica!"
Luo Hun and other soldiers successfully escorted twenty people over obstacles and traps, and slowly approached the gate of the rear camp.
"Ah! Captain Luo, why did you catch so many?" The guard captain was startled. He didn't expect Luo Hun to come back with so many sentries. "No! Who are they?" When he came out, he saw the people behind him clearly.
, found something wrong, it was not the sentry he was familiar with.
"Do it!" Luo Hun shouted and took out a bow like lightning. Whoosh, a loud arrow hit the guard on the watchtower.
"Go to hell!" A dark red figure jumped out from the bundled team, raised his hand and slashed out a sword light.
The guard captain was just a warrior trapped in the battle. He could only watch the sword light piercing his chest, and only half of his "ah" was shouted out.
"Kill!" A group of people suddenly shot out of the darkness inside the camp gate, wearing soldiers' armor and with a red cloth belt tied to their right arms. After they rushed out, they divided into two parts, and one part of them rushed towards the watchtowers on both sides of the camp gate.
, some of them attacked the guards who were about to close the camp gate.
Chen Chao took the spear handed over by his subordinates, raised the tip of the spear, pointed it diagonally at the camp gate, and shouted: "The whole army is here to fight for the country, and we will abandon our weapons without killing! Charge me!" Then he pulled down his mask and flew away.
Mount your horse and rush out first.
The elite troops disguised as being kidnapped had already rushed into the gate and swept through the guards like chopping melons and vegetables. They also allocated manpower to clear the obstacles blocking the door.
"To fight rebellion for the country, abandon your weapons and not kill!"
When Chai Xulin heard the shouting, he stood up suddenly and asked, "But what about the sound coming from the back camp?"
