They avoided fixed checkpoints and patrols, and specifically infiltrated areas with relatively lax defenses, such as gaps between camps and baggage storage areas.
Tang Yanhai took the lead, his movements were agile, and his intuition about danger and grasp of timing were amazingly accurate.
Yan Ling followed closely behind, holding a poisoned short crossbow in his hand, his eyes scanning the surroundings like an eagle.
The target was clear - the most magnificent and heavily guarded tent in the center of the coalition camp, where Yuchi Liang, the younger brother of King Chechi, was stationed.

Tang Yanhai made a gesture, and the ten people immediately dispersed, like drops of water seeping into the sand, using the shadows of the tents, the piled up carriages and supplies, and even the blind spots of light coming through the gaps in the tents to move forward little by little.
