The enhanced ghillie suit not only perfectly concealed the body, but its size could also be adjusted according to the soldier's height and build, just like the tight-fitting elastic suit invented in later generations.
Most importantly, it has an extremely tight internal seal, making it resistant to water immersion, high temperatures, and insect bites.
Sun Jian's backpack is now a veritable treasure trove.

...
Seeing that the time was almost up, Sun Jian immediately shut down the system.
Before long, Xiong Juzheng, Li Mu, and Li You arrived at the location and joined Sun Jian.
The group greeted each other, and then Xiong Juzheng noticed the neatly arranged ghillie suits on the ground not far away.
"This is……"
None of the three of them, nor the Imperial Guards, had ever seen such strange clothing before. From the outside, it looked like withered yellow straw, but upon closer inspection, it resembled clothing.
"These are ghillie suits. Everyone should put them on. We might need to lie in wait. Once the target appears, you will not only need to lie in wait, but also conceal yourselves and follow them."
Sun Jian directly answered everyone's questions.
Sun Jian's words were military orders, and although everyone was curious, they obeyed his command and put on their ghillie suits.
The fact that Sun Jian allowed them to wait here shows that he had prepared these clothes in advance.
They understood this in their hearts, but the clothes were indeed a bit strange!
"This garment is amazing, General Sun. How exactly was it sewn?"
Li Mu looked at Sun Jian with admiration.
"Yes, General! This clothing is not only comfortable to wear, but also very warm. I just examined the fabric closely and I still don't know what material it is made of. Even the formation is concealed."
"Alright, enough chit-chat, the mission is the priority."
Sun Jian was too lazy to waste time gossiping about such trivial matters.
It's getting close to the appointed time. If Wei Zhong'e sends out the supply wagons ahead of schedule, all their preparations will be in vain.
Without delay, everyone dressed and, under Sun Jian's command, quickly set off.
During this time, Sun Jian himself also put on a ghillie suit.
From here to the Tiger Legion's camp, the group cannot ride horses, as that would make them too easy to spot.
Sun Jian instructed his men to take the mountain paths, which would greatly reduce the time required for the march.
Although the mountain road was somewhat rugged, it was well concealed, making it difficult to spot the target, and the distance was also greatly reduced.
Along the way, Sun Jian recounted the entire cause and effect to Li You, Li Mu, and Xiong Juzheng.
The three men were filled with righteous indignation upon hearing this, and some even had the urge to personally kill the three Wei brothers.
The Wei family has overreached in recent years, and their ambitions have swelled.
Damn it!
In the military and political spheres of great importance, the Wei family had cronies and protégés.
Apart from the Longxi clan under the current powerful minister Lin Xuanfu, the Wei clan can be said to be second only to the emperor.
When power is at its zenith, even a stomp of the foot can make one tremble.
Unexpectedly, that wasn't enough. That damned Wei Xian even dared to keep troops in private!
Sun Jian sneered repeatedly, "Who can disagree?"
Power breeds ambition, and human desires and greed are endless; if left unchecked, they will only grow larger.
Fortunately, it was discovered in advance; otherwise, the Wei family would have caused great changes and hidden dangers for Da Gan one day.
When discussing the Wei family and Wei Xian, Sun Jian did not mention the Second Prince, because he understood the situation perfectly well.
Even if he didn't say it, several people could guess some of it.
None of the three men were fools; one was the Prefect of Kyoto, and the other two were His Majesty's personal guards.
No matter how powerful Wei Xian is, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing without the benefit and support of a prince.
However, without concrete evidence, it's best not to mention or discuss the prince's affairs...
...
The army marched swiftly, much as Sun Jian had predicted. After two hours of travel, the 500-strong force finally reached the mountainside on the flank of the Tiger Legion's camp.
Five hundred people dressed in ghillie suits lay in ambush on the mountainside.
Even the best people in one's eyes are not easily noticed or discovered.
"General, are we running late?"
Xiong Juzheng, Li You, and Li Mu lay beside Sun Jian, glanced at the Tiger Warriors' camp not far away, and asked Sun Jian a question.
"No! You've come at the perfect time!"
Sun Jian smiled.
"That's good!"
Although the three did not know how Sun Jian confirmed it, they all believed Sun Jian's words without a doubt.
Sun Jian pointed to the patrol team at the gate of the Tiger Legion camp and said to everyone, "Look, is the number of people on the patrol team even or odd?"
Everyone looked around and counted them carefully.
At the entrance of the Tiger Legion's main camp, there were three patrol teams, each with an even number of twenty soldiers.
They were currently positioned on the mountainside, visible not only to the patrolling soldiers at the camp gate but also to the patrolling soldiers at the west gate and the outer camp.
There were a total of eighteen patrol teams, all with twenty people, and all with an even number of people!
Sun Jian continued to the group, “All the patrol teams in the camp today are Liu Shiyun’s men. It just so happens that today is Liu Shiyun’s men’s patrol. Before I left the camp, I made an agreement with General Liu Shiyun that if the Wei brothers make any moves, the number of patrolling soldiers will be odd, and vice versa.”
"And just in case, I added a clause: if there is no alarm, the patrol soldiers under Liu Shiyun's command will hold their iron spears at an angle."
As everyone listened to Sun Jian's explanation, they all looked over and saw that the patrolling soldiers were indeed holding their iron halberds at an angle.
"This road is the only way the Wei brothers used to transport their supply wagons to the back mountain. All we need to do now is wait patiently!"
"Yes, sir!"
Upon hearing Sun Jian's order, everyone began to wait patiently.
Time flies, and an hour passes in the blink of an eye.
At noon, the sun was high in the sky.
Just as Sun Jian and the others were getting drowsy, the Tiger Legion's side camp finally stirred.
"General, look! Supply wagons!"
