Hua An smiled, exchanged a few words with the soldiers, and hurriedly asked about the situation in Taniguchi. The soldiers who went to Taniguchi to reconnoiter immediately reported the deployment of a thousand enemy soldiers in the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves to Hua'an.

After listening to the report of the soldiers, Hua'an learned that the enemy army of 1,000 men and horses had built a wooden checkpoint at the narrow valley entrance, with a gate in the middle of the checkpoint, and fences on both sides.

At the position of fifty steps into the valley of the checkpoint, even two three-storey circular arrow towers have been built, at the top of the arrow tower is a lookout, standing on the lookout, you can clearly monitor the wind and grass in a radius of several miles, once the traces of Hua'an and others are found, the archers stationed on the upper and lower three floors of the arrow tower will immediately enter the state of combat readiness, and at the same time, the main force stationed in the checkpoint will immediately prepare for war after getting the enemy's situation, echoing with the soldiers in the arrow tower.

The enemy army was so tightly defended at the mouth of the valley that if Hua'an's captive camp wanted to rush out from the front, it would indeed have to pay a heavy price, and there was only one exit from the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves, and if Hua'an's captive camp wanted to rush out, it was only through Guò, the enemy's heavily fortified Gukou, which was the only way out.

Risking the danger of annihilation to forcibly attack the checkpoint, Hua An naturally would not do this, Tong Guò studied the art of war at the bottom of the cliff these days, Hua An felt that there was always a way to outwit.

Seeing Hua An pacing back and forth, unable to make up his mind after a long time, the soldiers couldn't help but be a little anxious.

Thunderstorm even said loudly: "Big brother, our left brigade will take the lead and break through tonight." ”

"That's right, big brother doesn't have to think about it, let's kill it directly, and it will be impossible for the enemy army to stop us with a thousand men." The Iron Bull is always on its heels.

Zhao Wu touched the spear in his hand, and also said: "Big brother, we take advantage of the night to launch a strong attack from the front, and we have at least an eighty percent chance of winning." ”

"Well, as long as we can evade the surveillance of the enemy sentry and get close enough to the checkpoint, before the enemy's main force reacts, the loss will definitely be small, and we can give it a try." Wang San also expressed his attitude.

Hearing this, Hua An looked at the four of them, and said: "What you said is very good, by taking advantage of the night, close enough to the enemy army, to launch a surprise attack, this is indeed a good way, however, the sentry on the enemy's arrow tower is not blind, as long as these sentries are there, we will be found as soon as we get close, this problem is very tricky!" ”

Thunderstorm and the other four people were dumbfounded when they heard it, after all, there were few trees at the mouth of the valley, and the enemy sentries stood on the top of the arrow tower, and they could look down on the wind and grass within a radius of several miles, although the light was very dark at night, but the actions of nearly a thousand troops still could not escape the surveillance of the enemy sentries.

If the soldiers of the capture battalion appear a few miles away, they will be discovered by the enemy's sentinels, and with such a long warning time, the enemy's main force will definitely calmly enter the battle readiness, thus causing great losses to the prisoners.

"Big brother, in this way, if our army wants to succeed in breaking through, it must first kill the enemy sentry." Thunderstorm said.

Hearing this, Tie Niu sighed and said, "The enemy sentry is hiding on the top of the arrow tower, even if we send a few soldiers to touch it quietly, we can't help them, and they will not be discovered." ”

"How can you stealthily kill enemy sentries without attracting the attention of the other enemy soldiers?" Wang San also thought about it.

Shoot with bows and arrows, set up a ladder to climb up quietly, send a few more soldiers, break open the gate at the bottom of the arrow tower, and so on, everyone thought of several strategies in a row, but they were all vetoed by Hua'an one by one, these strategies are unreliable, and all of them are easy to arouse the vigilance of the enemy.

"Big brother, what do you say, otherwise, let's stay here first, anyway, we can find food in this valley." Iron Bull said loudly.

"No, the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves is a Jedi, at this time, the enemy army only has a thousand men and horses, if we miss this opportunity, the enemy's main force reinforcements, we will be even more unable to get out." Hua'an vetoed the construction of the Iron Bull.

At this time, it was already the first half of the night, and the weather was gradually getting very cold, Hua'an asked the soldiers to raise a bonfire to warm up, and at the same time let some soldiers go out to hunt game and find some wild fruits. And he himself took out the military book in his arms and calmly studied it.

Lei Storm and a few others leaned on the trunk of the tree, exchanging strategies with each other to break the enemy, while Murong Yan sat on a big stone not far from Hua An, holding his chin with both hands, and closed his eyes to take a nap.

There will definitely be a better way to break the enemy, Hua An told himself in his heart that as long as he persists, he will definitely think of a good idea.

Hua An closed his eyes, frowned and fell into deep thought, and soon his heart became somewhat clear, if you want to kill the enemy sentry, you must first have two conditions. First, you must be able to sneak into the vicinity of the enemy sentry without being detected, and second, you must be able to kill the enemy sentry silently without being noticed by other enemy soldiers.

In order to do a good job in the first point, there are two things: first, to divert the attention of the enemy sentry so that he always looks in the wrong direction, and secondly, the soldiers sent out to carry out the assassination mission must fully disguise themselves, which are not easy for the enemy sentry to detect.

If you want to do a good job in the second point, the difficulty is much more difficult than the first point, after all, the enemy sentry is high on the top of the arrow tower, whether it is a bow and arrow shooting, or a ladder, it will attract the attention of other enemies, so as to fall short, which is also the point that Hua'an can't figure out the most.

"Twitter......" Just when Hua'an was confused, two naughty soldiers learned to call birds, and even if you listen carefully, you can't hear the flaws.

Hua An heard the sound, and thought of a good way, so that this soldier who can 'bird talk' can sneak into the bottom of the enemy's arrow tower, learn to call birds to attract the enemy sentry to look down, and at this time, as long as a soldier uses a wooden stick tied to a rope to put on the neck of the enemy sentry, pull hard, the enemy sentry will fall to the ground, a whimper, and the movement is not big, it is not easy to attract the attention of other enemy soldiers.

Thinking of this good idea, Hua Anxin was excited, and hurriedly convened a meeting of officers above the team to tell his subordinates about this strategy, and all of them agreed with it.

After careful consideration, Hua'an decided to let the soldiers eat some food first, rest for a few hours, and then start the operation in the middle of the night near dawn.

In order to make the operation foolproof, Hua'an can be described as painstaking, firstly, he lit nearly a hundred bonfires five miles away from the enemy's arrow tower, clearly telling the enemy sentries that his main army was still camping and did not act, and at the same time, it could also attract the attention of the enemy sentries and let their main energy be staring at the bonfire five miles away.

At the same time, in order to prevent the enemy sentries from discovering, the armor of the six people was covered with white cloth to make it the same color as the snow background on the ground, greatly reducing the probability of the enemy sentry finding it.
