Fan Cun's next two attempts to rush to camp still ended in failure.
Obviously, this matter is not as simple as he thought.
Therefore, after trying again and again, Fan Cun had to constantly learn from the lessons of previous failures and re-formulate his plan while waiting for darkness.
For him, this operation can be regarded as an upgraded version of the cavalry trial.
The cavalry trial is to find the flaw in the opponent's formation change, and then rush in to kill the enemy general;
But this time, they wanted to find the flaw in the opponent's static camp, and then rush in and capture Ma Anbang alive.
Although the two situations were very different and did not appear to have any similarities on the surface, if you think about it carefully, you will find that they still have something in common in terms of combat strategies.
Although Fan Cun didn't know how to use tactics at all, he still had some experience in leading a charge.
If we use famous ancient generals as an analogy, Zhao Haiping is a more versatile general. He will make detailed and comprehensive plans before fighting, and his specific fighting methods will be adjusted according to the enemy's situation; while Fan Cun is a more versatile general.
A ruthless general who acts recklessly.
But the generals must use their brains when charging. Those who can't use their brains are basically dead. If Fan Cun really couldn't use his brain at all, then he wouldn't be able to clear so many trial dungeons.
This is the first time for Fan Cun, and the first time for almost all players, to try the operation of "camp hijacking" in the game "Dark Sand".
Although there were some game contents involving camps before, such as playing the role of "commander" with "reckless and heroic spirit", but at that time the player played the role of Sheng Taizu, and the matter of setting up camp only required giving suggestions and not actual operations, let alone
Lead troops to attack the camp.
But now, the game has given players a "camp hijacking" problem that cannot be avoided.
Fan Cun didn't know at this time that players like Li Hongyun had already figured out a way to outwit them. Since he couldn't share the strategy immediately, he could only continue to follow his own stupid method and seriously think about how to complete the goal through pure force.
.
Although it has rarely happened in history that a small number of people successfully robbed a camp, it is not impossible.
After all, this is the era of cold weapons, and the charm of the era of cold weapons is that as long as the tactics are used properly, you can often achieve very exaggerated results by defeating more with less.
Fan Cun raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky.
In the second half of the night, dark clouds will temporarily block the moon and it will be very dark for a period of time. At that time, it will be the best time to raid and rob the camp.
But before that, some preparations have to be done.
Fan Cun gave an order and asked everyone behind him to wrap their horses' hooves with thick cloth and bite the branches.
This is what is called "a man's title and a horse's hooves".
Fan Cun was not aware of this before. As a result, he was discovered by the secret sentry outside the camp very early when he was approaching, and entered the battle prematurely.
But now, fifty riders are approaching in the dark at night, and if they can choose a weak point in the camp to enter without making too much noise, the success rate of hijacking the camp will be greatly improved.
As for how to choose the weak location of the camp?
This is a technical life.
It was only after Fan Cun rushed twice that he realized that the camp of 50,000 people was larger and more complicated than he had imagined.
Fifty thousand people are eating, drinking and sleeping. Just arranging for these people to live safely in a certain area is already a big problem.
The 50,000 people in Ma Anbang could not all be crowded together. Instead, they were divided into three large camps to form a "pin" shape, with a certain distance between them to assist each other in defense.
This was good news at first glance. After all, Fan Cun would not have to face an army of 50,000 people at the first time. However, after actually entering the camp, Fan Cun found that the camp with only 10,000 people was much larger than him.
imagination.
Outside the camp, there is a deep trench with a large number of sharp wooden stakes inside. There is a horse-rejection formation outside the trench, and there are traps in front.
Behind the trench is a wooden fence, which is more than ten feet high.
The entire camp can be seen as an approximate circle. Behind the wooden fence is the main body of the military camp.
The outermost circle is the tents of ordinary soldiers. Since ancient tents were all handmade, the tents used by soldiers were relatively small and could barely sleep, with ten people per berth.
The tents further inside are slightly larger, and are the residences of generals at all levels, or areas for various other auxiliary functions in the camp for eating, drinking, and defecating.
In the center is the Chinese military tent. The tent here is very spacious. Not only does it have the best living conditions, it is also convenient for convening generals for discussions.
Around the Chinese army's tent, there was also a formation of various large vehicles, further increasing the difficulty of breaking through.
In the camp, you basically rest after sunset, and you are not allowed to move around or make noise. Of course, things like various generals' banquets are not included in this.
However, this does not mean that the robbery of the camp will go smoothly, because there will be hidden sentries outside the camp, people will patrol the sentry tower of the camp, and there will be braziers at intervals in the military camp for lighting.
When he rushed for the first time, Fan Cun just barged in through the main entrance stupidly, but of course he missed it and couldn't reach Ma Anbang at all.
The next two times, he was smarter and knew how to approach in a low-key manner, find gaps in trenches and fences, and sneak in to attack the Chinese army's tent where Ma Anbang was, but he also failed due to various reasons.
Again, after all, this is a heavily guarded military camp with fifty thousand people. Once discovered, the role that fifty cavalry can play in it is really limited.
Therefore, things like hijacking camps at night are said to be magical in many novels or novels, and can defeat the enemy almost as soon as they are used, but in fact it is an extremely difficult military operation.
From the idea to the actual implementation, there is still a long way to go.
Fan Cun silently recalled his previous failures and planned the route in his mind, just like he did when he passed the cavalry trial.
Finally, the sky darkened completely, and the dark clouds covered the moon, leaving only the faint light of the fire in the camp in the distance.
"Walk!"
Fan Cun gave the order and bit the branch.
Fifty cavalry followed him, slowly approaching the camp.
Although the hooves of the war horses were covered with thick cloth, they would still make a sound if they ran at full speed. What's more, running fast was useless now. After they approached the camp, they had to avoid traps, pass through the horse-rejecting formation, and find
Weak spots on wooden fences.
And all this is done in a secretive way.
Fortunately, Ma Anbang is not a famous general, he is just a despicable guy who stabs his teammates in the back, and his ability to lead troops is not necessarily very high.
Therefore, the security of the camp here was not that tight, and there were many loopholes in the surrounding trenches and wooden fences, so Fan Cun still successfully sneaked into the camp with his people.
"who!"
Fifty cavalrymen finally crossed the wooden fence and entered the camp, but were discovered by soldiers patrolling the camp.
With a "swish" sound, an arrow hit the soldier's chest, shooting him down.
"Fight in!
"Knock over all the braziers and light the tents on fire!
"Also, shout with me, Qi Jun is coming to kill us!"
Now that they have been discovered, there is no way to infiltrate again at this time. Fan Cun gave the order and led these people straight to the Chinese army's tent where Ma Anbang was!
Along the way, the shouts of killing were loud, and the voices of fifty people shouting in unison could be heard far away in the quiet night, making it impossible to determine how many people there were.
The braziers used for lighting were knocked over one after another, and the charcoal fire hit the tent, and soon a raging fire broke out.
"Qi Jun is coming to kill us!"
"One hundred thousand Qi troops are coming to kill us!"
Just like a raging fire cooking oil, the originally quiet camp exploded in an instant!
The sleeping soldiers were all awakened, and their expressions became extremely frightened.
Since the outermost circle is the soldiers' camps, if you want to reach the central army's position, you must either bypass these camps and take the main road in the camp, or directly cross them.
Of course Fan Cun chose to cross.
Because this is the closest and can create maximum chaos!
Several soldiers who had just woken up from their sleep were trampled by the iron hooves of war horses before they could realize what was going on.
Fan Cun even brandished his sword and stabbed to death several soldiers who stood up to touch their swords.
This time, in order to maximize his combat effectiveness, he acquired the talent of swordsmanship proficiency, so he became even more comfortable in using this sword, like an arm with his fingers.
"Qi Jun!"
"Where did Qi Jun come from!"
"Run, run"
The soldiers who woke up from their dreams also began to shout loudly in extreme fear, making the scene even more chaotic.
Fan Cun rushed towards the Chinese army's tent regardless, but what he didn't expect was that after such a violent charge, some changes occurred in Ma Anbang's camp that he had never expected at all.
The camp was completely in chaos!
Fan Cun saw with his own eyes that a soldier picked up a knife, but instead of slashing at him, he slashed at another soldier next to him.
These soldiers under Ma Anbang actually started killing each other!
In fact, Fan Cun had no idea who was the first friendly soldier to pick up the knife and start slashing at him, but this kind of panic and confusion was spreading at an incredible speed.
As Fan Cun and others broke through the camp of ordinary soldiers and rushed towards the Chinese army where Ma Anbang was, the fire ignited by them overturning the brazier also followed. What followed closely behind was the crazy howling of Ma Anbang's soldiers.
and killing each other.
In this hysterical atmosphere, everyone began to look for anything they could get their hands on, and attacked all living creatures around them. They all seemed to have lost their minds and turned into pure beasts!
Even those soldiers who couldn't get weapons were actually fighting and biting each other, and the scene was chaotic.
Even Fan Cun was stunned.
What's happening here?
He estimated that his surprise attack would plunge the opponent's military camp into chaos, but he did not expect that the chaos would reach this level.
Moreover, this phenomenon is too bizarre and unbelievable!
Why didn't these soldiers come to kill him, but instead turned on their own people with swords?
But Fan Cun definitely doesn't have time to think about these things now. Since his hijacking camp has caused a chaotic scene even better than expected, the most important thing at this time is to rush to the Chinese army and capture Ma Anbang!
Fortunately, the Chinese military tent was not difficult to find, and General Chen Shilong also knew Ma Anbang.
Flames shot into the sky, and shouts of death and screams came from almost all directions, making Ma Anbang, who was awakened from his sleep and whose drunkenness had not completely subsided, bewildered.
He hurriedly put on his clothes and picked up his weapon, but before he could contact his own soldiers, Fan Cun had already forced his way in with his men.
Two soldiers tried to stop him, but were quickly stabbed to death by Fan Cun, who was proficient in swordsmanship.
Then, Fan Cun kicked Ma Anbang to the ground, and others swarmed up and tied him up.
"Walk!"
Fan Cun knew that he could not stay here for long, because the Jin soldiers generals who were having a banquet were nearby.
Although the camp was in chaos at this time, these golden soldiers still maintained their strong combat effectiveness. If they were caught up by these golden soldier generals, it would probably cause trouble.
After throwing Ma Anbang onto the horse, everyone got on their horses and started to kill outside the camp again.
But this time, the chaotic scene in the entire camp came into Fan Cun's vision more clearly.
It even made him wonder: Who are these people beating?
The fifty cavalrymen who made the surprise attack had already rushed to the Chinese army and tied up Ma Anbang, but these soldiers were still killing each other and wildly waving their butcher knives at their own people.
"The camp was actually blown up..." General Chen Shilong also said in disbelief.
The other accompanying rebels also looked excited. Obviously, they did not expect that a night attack could have such a good effect.
But soon, grassroots officers appeared to maintain order.
This group of people, with many soldiers who had not yet fallen into madness, began to yell to maintain order, while directly hacking to death those soldiers who had fallen into madness, trying hard to prevent the scope of the camp roar from expanding any further.
"Take this opportunity and rush out!"
Fan Cun took the lead and charged towards the outside of the military camp.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of horse hooves came from behind them, and a heavily armored troop of dozens of golden soldiers had already caught up!
These golden soldiers turned out to be heavily armored cavalry. They looked full of evil and majestic. They were fundamentally different from Ma Anbang's soldiers who were on the verge of collapse.
"Damn, these people put on armor too fast! They're cheating, right?
"Rush! Get rid of them!"
Fan Cun knew very well that although these heavy armored cavalry were powerful, they were not as good as the light cavalry in terms of speed and endurance. As long as they could break out of the camp and find a way to get rid of these golden soldiers, this operation would be considered a success.
However, after a period of fighting, Fan Cun, who was carrying Ma Anbang on his back, was still caught up by Jin Bing and was unable to escape in the end.
However, Fan Cun did not feel too depressed after being knocked off his horse with a spear.
Because he finally discovered that hijacking a camp seems to be feasible under certain conditions!
Next, he only needs to review the success of this time, fix the entire process, and then plan a suitable escape route. Maybe he can achieve the feat of Yu Jiaxuan's fifty horsemen who robbed Ma Anbang!
