Chapter 105: Infiltration
Soon, the confessions of the four scouts were put together, and the content was generally the same, and everyone frowned.
First of all, the Dark Flame army passed through the Moting Jungle in turn according to the passage that Tang Lang had detected and surveyed before, and Di Kunpeng was so angry that he punched the big tree on the side: "It's this group of bureaucrats with fat brains, obviously we have already reminded ...... before"
Secondly, Dark Flame's 30,000 army has indeed surrounded Canglei City impenetrably, but it has not launched any large-scale siege, so it has not yet broken the city, which is also the thing that everyone is most worried about, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
After that, several teams of 100 people were sent to clear all the villages and towns near Canglei City, and many villagers did not have time to escape, they were either killed on the spot, or they were escorted back to the military camp outside Canglei City and imprisoned. In addition, many scouts were also released to hide in the mountains of more than 100 miles outside Canglei City, closely monitoring the movements of the Tianqing King's ** team.
"That's not right! The 30,000-strong army can not only quickly capture Canglei, but even take the entire Changping Prefecture into the palm of their hands, there must be some conspiracy in this!" Xing Yizhi, another teacher who accompanied the team, had some experience in military affairs, and when he read the confession, he found that there was a big problem.
"Could it be that it is to encircle the point and send reinforcements?" Tang Lang said his speculation.
Ji Fengyu shook his head when he heard this and said, "No! The Dark Flame Empire has always been arrogant, and has never put our Tianqing military strength in his eyes, and the only thing that can make them scruple is the Tianlan Empire. ”
Everyone discussed for a long time and there was no answer, Tang Lang turned out the clothes of the four scouts and put forward a bold suggestion: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." Since we already have information about the identities of the four of them, it is better to use them, the scout team is quite numerous, and it is impossible for every officer to know it. It's better for us to disguise ourselves and blend into the enemy camp, so that we can have a chance to get close to Canglei City and collect more useful information to provide to the Tianqing army behind. ”
"Great idea!"
"No way!"
Two completely different voices appeared in the team, naturally Jiang Dali and other team members agreed, and Ji Fengyu and other teachers opposed.
Tang Lang continued: "Mentor, I know that this plan is very dangerous and even a little crazy, but this is the most appropriate method at the moment. Dark Flame has set up a large number of scouts in the nearby mountains, even if more than ten of us are careful, we will definitely be discovered, not only will we not collect useful military information, but we may also be chased and killed by a large number of enemy troops, and we are also in danger, so it is better to gamble according to my plan!"
Ji Fengyu pondered for a long time before finally saying: "Okay, do as you say, but I must participate!"
"Mentor, you really can't participate in this plan! Darkflame's scout team is all made up of martial arts apprentices or martial artists, and no matter how you dress up as a spell master, you will be seen through at a glance. My plan is for me, Kunpeng, Yuan Kui, and Xingzhou to disguise ourselves as Dark Flame Scouts and infiltrate the army camp to spy on the news. At most, one night, we'll leave and come back here to meet up with everyone and discuss what to do next. ”
Tang Lang's plan is not perfect, but he has already made the best use of the existing conditions, the other three are all martial arts apprentices, Di Kunpeng and Rong Xingzhou are originally dark-skinned, and they are no different from scouts who are exposed to the wind and sun all day long, and Wei Yuankui is another pair
A large part of the members of the scout are the ruffians who were incorporated into the scout because of their free and loose nature.
After the four of them changed their clothes, Tang Lang grabbed a handful of mud from the ground and touched them on the cheeks and military uniforms of several people, and used thorns to cut out a few gaps in their sleeves and trouser legs.
After cleaning up, Tang Lang put the four unconscious Dark Flame scouts behind the bushes, thought for a long time, and finally hardened his heart and sent out several flame bursting spells to burn the four of them to ashes, and released a quicksand spell to clean up the scene, and then set off with Wei Yuankui and others to find the dark flame camp according to the general location of the confession.
Watching the four of them disappear into the jungle, Bei Siqi sighed with emotion: "Lao Ji, your student is really not simple, you are ruthless, you act boldly, you have the style of a hero, and it coincides with troubled times, maybe you will make a big difference!"
Ji Fengyu didn't answer, but secretly thought in his heart: "I didn't expect him to be able to do this! The teacher is right, the power hidden in the bloodline is really extraordinary......
Canglei City is surrounded by mountains, Tang Lang and the four of them marched quickly in the forest, trying to find the location of the Dark Flame Military Camp before dark, and sure enough, they passed through several scouts along the way.
Di Kunpeng was a little anxious, so he wanted to go to the camp, but was stopped by Tang Lang: "Wait a minute!"
Tang Lang left only one or two feather arrows in the quivers of several people, and buried the rest under a big tree, and poured out all the water in the animal skin water bladder, and then said to the three of them: "That's right! If someone asks, just say that a few of us were accidentally discovered by a few blue-backed wolves, and we escaped after a big fight, but we have used up all the feather arrows and are back for supply." Also, Kunpeng and Xingzhou, you two should talk as little as possible, and your expressions should be more natural. ”
Wei Yuankui also added with a big grin: "The boss is right! You two look like you are being caught on the spot, you don't need to be interrogated to know that something is wrong, you must relax." ”
Di Kunpeng and Rong Xingzhou adjusted for a long time, and finally looked calm, and the four of them swaggered towards the gate of the barracks.
"Stop! Password and waist card!" There was still a hundred zhang away from the entrance of the barracks, and several people had already been stopped by a team of patrolling guards, and they did not relax their vigilance because Tang Lang and the others were wearing dark flame uniforms, and asked loudly from a long distance.
Wei Yuankui took the first step, raised the snatched waist card above his head, and replied loudly: "Yongguan Qianjun!" We are scouts under the command of the Lei Lin Army of the Lifeng Legion, and return to the camp to replenish. ”
The Dark Flame Empire has five major legions, including Xiaocai, Li Feng, Wuwei, Huwei, and Hengye, each legion has 20,000 sergeants, and the legion is divided into ten schools, each of which is led by ten captains of 2,000 soldiers, and each captain is divided into scouts, heavy armor, knives and axes, bows, crossbows, traps and other troops, each with a military commander.
Although the password and number could be matched, the patrol guards were still very cautious, and only two people came over, and the rest still pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, ready to strike at any time.
The two guards carefully examined the waist tags in the hands of the four people for a long time, and finally confirmed
After admitting it, he still refused to let it go easily, and one of them asked in a deep voice: "Lord Captain has an order, the scouts are all cruising ten miles away from the camp, monitoring the movements of the Tianqing army at any time, why did the four of you return?"
Wei Yuankui made a look of annoyance: "This brother, our brothers are really unlucky. Just after the ambush, I was hit by more than a dozen blue-backed wolves, and after a struggle, I finally drove the wolves away, but our brothers have all used up their feather arrows, not to mention how unlucky they are. Hurry up and let us in to replenish, and return as soon as possible, otherwise we will be known by the military and will be scolded. ”
The two guards looked the four of them up and down, and saw that there were many holes in the uniforms, and there was mud on their faces, which was indeed extremely embarrassing, so they nodded and waved their hands to their companions behind them, and then let Tang Lang and the others leave.
Before entering the camp, the four of them were interrogated twice, although they were not as strict as the last time, but they were only allowed to go together after carefully checking the password and waist card, which made Tang Lang secretly speechless: Dark Yan is strict in governing the army, even compared with the guards he saw in the palace, it is far from being comparable to Tianqing!
The four of them finally infiltrated the barracks, only to find that they were a little blind, although the confessions provided by the four Dark Flame Scouts were detailed, they did not describe much about the functional distribution in the barracks, and the tents of different sizes were endless, and it was impossible to distinguish their respective uses.
"What should I do?" Wei Yuankui lowered his voice and asked Tang Lang for countermeasures.
Tang Lang quickly glanced at the layout of the camp, and also replied in a low voice: "Generally speaking, supply logistics will not be placed in the center of the barracks, nor will it be in the corners, so as not to be easily attacked by the enemy. We walked along the edge of the barracks, and we acted as we went!"
According to Tang Lang's words, the four of them walked along the side of the barracks, while secretly looking at the layout in the barracks. The more Tang Lang observed, he felt doubts in his heart: "It stands to reason that there are 30,000 troops besieging Canglei, but even if these tents in front of me are all filled with Dark Flame soldiers, they will definitely not be able to accommodate 30,000 people." ”
Just as he was wandering around like a headless fly, a tent beside him was suddenly lifted, and several heavily armored sergeants walked out of it, and when they saw Tang Lang and a few of them, they sneered: "Look, how miserable these monkey-like guys look, did you meet the Tianqing army who escaped from outside?" Haha, it's really a shame for our Lifeng Legion, if I am in charge of your army, I will first arrest and beat the ten army sticks!"
Tang Lang wanted not to argue, but after thinking about it: if there was a similar quarrel in the army, and he was ridiculed and swallowed for no reason, maybe he would attract suspicion. immediately gave Wei Yuankui a look, and quarreled with a few people.
"Fart! If it weren't for Lao Tzu's constant monitoring of the movements of the Tianqing army on the periphery, how many of you would have had the opportunity to rest comfortably in the barracks? Not only did you not have a good word, but you also sneered at Lao Tzu, what is so magical about heavy armor, Lao Tzu can kill a few of you alone!"
Not to mention that Wei Yuankui is really like a soldier for many years, he immediately stirred up the anger of the other party: "A few tattered scouts actually dare to provoke our heavy armor, this is not the opposite! What is spying on the Tianqing army on the periphery, just the group of cowards of the Tianqing Kingdom, without the Tianlan Empire to support them, they dare not dare to attack our fierce tiger power if they lend a boldness." ”
