Chapter 60: The Attack on the Camp

Wang Anzu made a living by hunting, and his ancestors ran around on Taihang Mountain for generations. One year, Wang An's father, Wang Shiquan, was injured by a wild beast during the hunt, but fortunately, Cao Wenzhao, who happened to lead the army to pass by, asked for help and picked up a life. In order to thank Cao Wenzhao for saving his life, Wang Shiquan let his second son Wang An follow Cao Wenzhao and was willing to serve Cao Wenzhao for the rest of his life.

Cao Wenzhao also gladly accepted Wang Shiquan's invitation to repay him, and asked Wang An to follow him as a personal guard.

Wang An's skills are very good, and the level of bows and arrows is even more difficult for ordinary people to reach, and "100 steps" wears Yang with the best words to describe him, known as "Wang Baibu". Cao Wenzhao died in that battle, Wang An was also seriously wounded, but fortunately he did not die, and crawled out of the pile of dead people after passing out for a few hours. The benefactor of the Wang family died on the battlefield, and Wang An vowed to avenge this. After returning to Datong with a lot of twists and turns, Wang An followed Cao Yue.

Because of Wang An's loyalty and skills, Cao Yue also attaches great importance to him. It's just that Wang An blames himself for not protecting Cao Wenzhao, and has always been reluctant to be an officer to lead the army, and even a general of the family army is unwilling to be a general, just want to protect Cao Yue's side.

However, in this Datong Protector, Wang An finally obeyed Cao Yue's persuasion and went to serve in the special training team and became a deputy general manager. When Wang An followed Cao Wenzhao, he was only sixteen years old, and now he is only twenty-five years old. He is agile, has a flexible brain, and is very loyal to the Cao family, so everything Cao Yue delivered was completed very well. He is also very hard working in the special training camp, and the hundreds of people he leads have all really experienced devilish training, especially the last remaining 90 people, who are the leaders of the special training team.

It can be said that the nearly 100 people led by Wang An are the strongest team in the entire special training team.

On Cao Yue's order, the 100 people who led the training team left Datong to investigate the whereabouts of Li Yan's department, and without being discovered by the other party's reconnaissance horses, Wang An's troops and horses firmly followed Li Yan's army and sent back a large number of enemy military intelligence reports, so that Cao Yue could grasp the whereabouts of Li Yan's department for the first time.

After Li Yan rejected Cao Yue's letter again and asked him to fight against the foreign captives together, Wang An received Cao Yue's order to prepare a sneak attack on Li Yan's men and horses to warn the Liukou. When he received the order, Wang An's subordinates had already followed Li Yan's men back to the vicinity of Datong.

After receiving Cao Yue's order, Wang An immediately began to prepare for action.

Wang An knew that he was not the only one who followed Li Yanbu's special training detachment, but there were also one or two. Wang An thought that his men and horses were the best, so he also strictly required his sergeants to show their best performance, so that their companions would be impressed, and Cao Yue was surprised by them. Wang An made a very risky plan of action, ready to inflict heavy damage on the rogues at any cost.

*************

It was late at night, and the hillside where Li Yan's people camped more than 20 miles southwest of Datong City was no longer the scene of people before sunset, and began to slowly fall silent. At the beginning of spring, there were not many sounds of insects and birds, only the sound of occasional patrols and trampling broke the silence of the night sky. Because of its proximity to Datong City, the officers and soldiers in Datong City may go out of the city at any time to meet or sneak attack, and the patrols of Li Yan's battalion are very intensive, and there is almost no interruption.

In order to guard against a possible attack on the camp by the officers and soldiers, Li Yan also formulated a very careful response plan to ensure that there would be no accidents.

Li Yan believes that Cao Yue will definitely make some moves, which can be seen from the sneak attacks by Cao Yue's men and horses from time to time during the southern invasion of Jiannu. It's just that along the way, he didn't encounter any sneak attacks from the official army, which was somewhat surprising to Li Yan. But Li Yan did not relax his vigilance because of this, he knew that Cao Yue was just waiting for an opportunity, and any of his negligence could be fatal. Because of the commander's strict orders, all the generals under Li Yan's command did not dare to be careless, and the patrol was arranged very densely, even in the second half of the night.

Another group of more than 30 cavalry walked outside the camp and ran in another direction. Just as this group of people approached, and before the next team of patrolling people came, dozens of black-clothed people suddenly appeared on the ground where there was nothing unusual, and they disappeared again in the blink of an eye.

Around the same time, a similar situation occurred in several neighboring places.

It's just that after they passed, there was no trace left, and there was no abnormal movement. The latter group of sergeants walked by with torches, and after finding nothing out of the ordinary, they continued to patrol forward. And these mysterious figures, who had just escaped the patrol, continued to sneak up and down like this, slowly approaching the direction of the camp. They are not in a hurry at all, and as soon as something unusual appears, they are lurking.

These mysterious people are all dressed in camouflage uniforms that closely resemble their surroundings, and they lurk on the ground at night, making it extremely difficult to spot even if they get close, and they can't be felt unless they step on them.

Eventually, these mysterious figures unwittingly crossed the bars of the camp and infiltrated the heavily defended camp of the Rogues.

At this time, the camp of the rogue was snoring everywhere, and the sergeants who had been tired for a day had already fallen asleep peacefully.

In the second half of the night, when there was no moon, it was dark for most of the camp. But in the midst of the snoring, the camp shrouded in darkness suddenly burst out in several fires, which quickly expanded and swallowed the nearby tents in an instant. The sergeant who was awakened in the tent screamed and ran out of it before he could get dressed. However, when they ran out, they were surprised to find that the fire had spread everywhere.

Fortunately, Li Yan formulated a number of response mechanisms, and the night guards in the camp immediately dispatched to find the sneak attacker while a group of personnel began to put out the fire. The originally quiet camp suddenly became full of people and very lively.

Li Yan was also awakened at the first time, and his sergeants reported the situation of the attack to him in the fastest time.

Li Yan, who fell asleep in the second half of the night, was drowsy, and after hearing the sergeant's report, his drowsiness was completely awakened. He was extremely angry in his heart, but he did not panic, but hurriedly ordered the whole army and horses to enter a tense alert to strictly prevent the officers and soldiers from taking advantage of the situation to sneak attack.

From the reported situation, Li Yan could judge that the officers and soldiers who attacked the sneak attack were still elite squads, and the number would not be very large, just like the situation when the Jiannu army invaded the south and was attacked. At this time, what I am most afraid of is that I will go into chaos and have a camp or something, which will be a tragedy.

Fortunately, Li Yan made full preparations for this, and the generals of various departments issued orders as soon as they received the report, and there was no major chaos in the camp, and several fires were quickly extinguished.

But at this time, Li Yan received a report that the place where the grain and grass were stacked had also been attacked by a sneak attack, and the grain and grass were ignited and suffered heavy losses.
