Chapter 206 Sneaking into the Enemy Camp
A wolf-slaying colt and a blood-drinking sword.
Yun Chen rode his horse alone and his figure disappeared in the vast snowy wilderness.
In order to avoid leaking the news, Yun Chen left quietly when it was just dawn and no one was awake yet.
Only Rong Yi, who had been on guard duty all night and got up to release the water, happened to see it.
Looking at that resolute and lonely figure, she thought that what awaited her ahead was not a peaceful and prosperous life, but two hundred thousand ruthless Black Scale Cavalrymen...
Rong Yi shuddered, got goose bumps all over his body, and couldn't help but sigh:
"He's full of courage, a tiger in the clouds."
Then, Rong Yi noticed that Huo Gannian was standing on a tall tower nearby.
He stood tall and solemn, like a silent and cold stone statue, staring at Yun Chen's back for a long time, without moving.
…
…
It is said that Yun Chen left the Lion Power Army camp, traveled more than 400 miles, and after several days and nights of travel, he finally found the Black Scale Cavalry garrison camp and stopped on a low slope behind it.
She put on a disguise mask, took out a set of worn clothes from her bag and put them on, messed up her hair and made her face a little dirtier.
Then, she walked over to a large pile of fresh, hot horse manure that the wolf-killing colt had just defecated, picked up some, and smeared it on her trouser legs and soles of her shoes until her whole body was stinking. Only then did she stop with satisfaction.
Noticing the rather disgusted look on the wolf-killing colt's face, she used her dirty hands to hug it, grabbed its mane and rubbed it hard, feigning anger:
"Your name is 'Huo Yun'. Huo Gannian gave it to me. I am your master. Please be nicer!"
The butcher snorted through his nostrils to show his contempt.
For wild horses, they don’t know whether to give or not, they only know that whoever tames them is the master.
The wolf-slaying colt has only ever recognized Huo Gannian. To it, Yun Chen is just the closest and most ferocious two-legged beast besides Huo Gannian.
But the wolf-slaying colt was very curious. It didn't understand why the two-legged beast was suddenly so interested in its shit.
Yun Chen said:
"What else? Do you all think I'm charging straight into the Black Scale Cavalry camp alone? I might look cool, but I'll die quickly! I'm definitely going to find a way to sneak in!"
After disguising herself, she untied the noose of the wolf-slaying colt and hid it in the grass along with the Bloodthirsty Sword.
She patted the horse's back, signaling the wolf-slaying colt to go play by itself, and then climbed over the low slope, carefully avoiding the patrolling Black Scale Cavalry.
He stopped and started along the way, trying his best to conceal his whereabouts, walking in the grass while the wind blew, and rushing through the woods under the cover of night.
After walking for a whole day and night, she finally saw clearly rows of blue-gray tents, densely packed and stretching into the distance with no end in sight. They were like countless graves standing quietly on the ground. From time to time, black-scaled cavalrymen emerged from them, like evil ghosts in black armor.
She climbed up a tree to take a closer look—
The one closest to her should be the patrol battalion on the outermost periphery, which was responsible for the guarding and vigilance of the army. It was roughly estimated that there were 20,000 people, distributed in a vertical arc. It would take at least half a day to pass through it.
She needed to go further in, find out the distribution of food, weapons, and various camps one by one, and finally find the tent of the commander-in-chief Jiao Zuotai in the center to look for the defense map.
Yun Chen adjusted his mind and silently reviewed what was going to happen. Then he jumped down from the tree, hunched over, and stealthily groped his way to the fence of the camp.
She took a deep breath, then stood up straight, swaggered over the fence, and walked into the Black Scale Cavalry camp.
She adjusted her belt while walking carefree, looking as relaxed as if she had just finished taking a big dump in the bushes.
Two black-scaled cavalrymen noticed her, looked over and stared at her for a long time.
She walked in without looking around, but her heart was already beating as fast as a war drum.
Fortunately, the two black-scale cavalrymen did not notice anything unusual and quickly turned their heads away, ignoring her.
She looked around quickly, picked up a large wooden barrel, sprinkled some yellow soil into it, and then continued to move deeper into the camp.
The camp was filled with Black Scale Cavalrymen who were training, sorting their equipment, brushing their horses, and chatting with each other. Most of them ignored her.
Some people noticed her unfamiliar face and wanted to ask her a question, but when they got close, they smelled her foul odor and gave up.
The plan was initially successful! She was a little excited.
It’s no wonder that people are afraid of showing off.
Just as she was congratulating herself on having successfully sneaked into the enemy camp, she heard a loud voice behind her shouting:
"Hey, where are you from? What's your name?"
The voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
The surrounding Black Scale Cavalry all looked over. Yun Chen could only grit his teeth, stop, quickly put on a flattering smile, and turn around to greet them.
A man in errand clothes came over, looked Yun Chen up and down, and shouted unhappily:
"Where are you from? What's your name? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Yun Chen hunched over with a cautious smile on his face. He pointed to his throat and made two "ah ba" sounds to indicate that he was mute.
The servant was now even more suspicious: "I've been in the army for so many years, how come I didn't know we had a mute? Are you a spy? Spies love to pretend to be mute!"
The word "spy" immediately made everyone around prick up their ears and turn their eyes to Yun Chen.
Yun Chen acted as if he was aggrieved and sad, pointed in the direction of Yancheng, pinched his neck, made a funny gesture of rolling his eyes and sticking out his tongue, then pointed deep into the camp and kept saying "ah ba".
The servant actually understood, "You were captured from Yancheng? From the Central Army Camp?"
Yun Chen nodded hurriedly, looking cautious.
The servant kicked Yun Chen on the butt, pointed at a small cart next to him, and cursed:
"What the hell are you hesitating about? Go clean the toilet! Stop being lazy!"
Yun Chen nodded and bowed, then immediately pushed the cart and ran away.
Just after running out two steps, the servant said again:
"Go get your registration roster first! I need to keep a record of it! Damn it, these damn transferees never tell me in advance!"
Seeing this, the surrounding Black Scale Cavalrymen no longer looked at him suspiciously. Yun Chen walked swiftly to the back of the tent, emptied the smelly toilets, cleaned them, and filled them with clean water.
As she cleaned the toilet, she wondered where to get a registration list.
Whether it was the Black Scale Cavalry or the Lion Army, it was almost impossible to enter openly and undetected.
Because the most common and common item in the military is:
Roll call.
Every camp, every shift, big or small, from the commander-in-chief's tent to the servant who collects the toilet bucket, must take roll call every day as long as it is not wartime.
In the army, it is not uncommon to have one less person. There will always be casualties in a war. Every time you come back from the battlefield, you have to seal up a large pile of rosters.
But one more person would be a rarity.
It was obvious that it was a spy.
Yun Chen urgently needs a registration list.
Under the pretext of collecting toilet bins, she pushed her stinking cart around the camp, as if invisible to all the Black Scale Cavalry.
No one noticed the dirty little servant.
I just think this little servant is too hardworking. Although he looks skinny, he seems to have endless energy. He grunts as he carries the heavy bucket full of feces and urine, and doesn't care even if it splashes on him.
After being busy for a whole day, Yun Chen's nose was bitter from the smoke and his eyes were tearing up from the sting. He was so tired that his back and waist ached and he had just moved out of the patrol camp.
She secretly overheard from the conversation of several Black Scale Cavalrymen that there were 200,000 Black Scale Cavalrymen in at least a hundred camps, with the main central army camp being in the very center of the entire camp.
She probably needs to work as a skilled worker in the Black Scale Cavalry camp for three years before she can get the toilet in the central army camp.
She was a little anxious.
Fortunately, ordinary soldiers were not qualified to use toilets and had to go to the dug toilets. Only officers and above could use toilets.
Gritting his teeth, Yun Chen pushed the cart deeper into the camp.
Under the cover of night, she was sneaky when cleaning the toilet, and finished the job casually, which was much faster.
After passing more than a dozen camps in a row, she began to feel strange.
We had seen the camp where food was stored, with potatoes, cabbages, dry biscuits and rice, but we didn't see any livestock.
Logically speaking, if an army of 200,000 is stationed and wants to eat meat, the rear must provide a large number of live cattle, sheep and livestock for cooking and slaughter.
But there was not a single cattle or sheep in the Black Scale Cavalry's camp.
But she clearly saw at dinner that the Black Scale Cavalrymen who were eating together had pieces of meat in their bowls.
She suppressed her doubts and continued walking towards the central military camp.
When she passed a camp, she slowly stopped.
This is a place completely different from all the cold horses, black iron, and heavily guarded camps.
In front of rows of gray tents stood various colorful gauze banners.
Just by listening to the countless women's suppressed voices of pain, Yun Chen knew where this place was.
