Chapter 886: Discovering the Abnormality

Zhang Xiaosan's words moved Luo Wu's thoughts, and then he asked deliberately: "No, Xiaosan, did your relative make a mistake? Didn't most of the county's soldiers and horses arrive at the city to prepare to defend against the attacks of the Anton Army and the Yuzhou Army? Where are there so many soldiers and horses in the military camp? ""Fifth Master, don't believe it," Zhang Xiaosan couldn't help but became anxious when he heard Luo Wu's words, "Little The relative also said that because the restaurant is too busy, he will ask me to come over and help for a few days tomorrow. I will go to the military camp to see for myself tomorrow and give you an accurate estimate. "

Luo Wu smiled and said: "Is there any troops in the military camp? Don't be so impatient. That's what I said."

With that said, Luo Wu casually threw dozens of copper coins to Zhang Xiaosan and said, "Okay, you go down first. If you have any news, tell me. I'm exhausted too and want to lie down."

"Hey, hey, I'm leaving first. If you have any news, I'll report it to Fifth Master. Please have a good rest, Fifth Master." Zhang Xiaosan took the copper coins and left Luo Wu's home with a smile.

At night, when the sky turned dark, several figures flashed outside the back of Luo Wu's house. After knocking lightly on the door a few times, the back door was opened by Luo Wu, and several figures flashed into the yard.

Soon, several people, led by Luo Wu, came to a small house in the backyard. The doors and windows on all sides of the small house were covered with thick cloth. An oil lamp was lit inside the house, and the huge light filled the room. The faces of several people were vaguely visible.

After everyone was seated, one of the middle-aged men with a sallow complexion said: "Fifth Master, the situation in the city is not right!"

"Oh, have you discovered anything?" Luo Wu looked at the others and asked;

"That's right," the yellow-faced man said, "I overheard a rogue at the North Gate saying that he heard the sound of the city gate opening again at three o'clock a few days ago. Because there was already a curfew, he couldn't Dare to go out to check, but he secretly saw from the crack in the door that there seemed to be a large army entering the city gate from the north gate, and he could vaguely see that thousands of them were wearing black clothes and black armor. The clothes and armor of the rest of the troops were also similar to those in the county. The guards are extraordinary.”

Having said this, the yellow-faced man let out a long sigh and said, "It's a pity that the sky was too dark and he couldn't see clearly."

Luo Wu looked serious and said seriously: "Is the news reliable?"

The yellow-faced man said: "Absolutely reliable. In order to confirm the news, I specially invited the rogue to have a drink and made him drunk before confirming it again."

The rest of the people also said that they had heard some unusual news. For example, the Beicheng and Xicheng military camps have not been open recently, and no idlers are allowed to approach. Also, major restaurants in the city send various kinds of food to the two military camps every day. Various vegetables and so on.

After hearing this, Luo Wu was silent for a moment and said: "I also heard some rumors, and my army only arrived to the west of Anfeng this afternoon, but Anfeng City started a curfew seven or eight days ago, which is very abnormal. "

Yes, this ranger named Luo Wu is a member of the Shadow Guard of the Anton Army. When Luo Wu traveled to Chang'an a few years ago, he happened to meet Shi A and other rangers, so he stayed in Chang'an, and then followed Shi A. Ah Yi joined Huangfu Chaobo because Luo Wu was not weak in combat and was also smart, so he was arranged to join the Shadows by Shi Ah. After a few years, he had accumulated merit and was promoted to the position of Tuen General.

Last year, the Anton Army attacked Yuan Shu, and Luo Wu happened to be from Huainan, so he secretly sneaked into Lujiang last year and was responsible for gathering all kinds of intelligence.

After sneaking back to Lujiang, Luo Wu led everyone and indeed sent back a lot of useful information. However, because the number of carrier pigeons in the Shadow Guard was really limited and they were only deployed in larger cities, Luo Wu did not have any carrier pigeons in his hands. If there is information that needs to be sent back, people can only be sent out of the city to contact the Anton Army.

A few days ago, Luo Wu had already sent back the news that there were only 5,000 defenders in Anfeng City. However, the next day after the news came out, a curfew was implemented in Anfeng City until the army was about to arrive in Anfeng. Luo Wu Everyone noticed the anomalies in the city from the sporadic news.

Now everyone felt that something was wrong with the situation in the city. After Luo Wu pondered for a moment, he said to a man next to him: "Zhang Daya, among the people who entered the city this time, except for a certain person, you are the most powerful, so I have decided to go to two military camps tonight, Beicheng and Xicheng, you choose one."

The man named Zhang Daya thought for a while and said: "Head, I heard that there are more merchants delivering vegetables in Beiying than in Xiying, so I should go to Beiying. It must be a great achievement. Hehe..."

Luo Wu was stunned and scolded with a smile: "You kid, okay, you go to Beiying, and so and so to west camp. According to so and so's estimate, the army will attack the city tomorrow, so we have to find out as soon as possible to avoid delaying the main business. The second update tomorrow At the beginning, everyone should come and gather together, and we will discuss how to proceed. "

Later, Luo Wu put the remaining people in charge of inquiring into some things, and then let them leave respectively. He and Zhang Daya waited until the third watch before changing into night clothes and heading towards their goals. And go.

After leaving his yard, Luo Wu walked along the inaccessible alleys in the city towards the military camp in the west of the city. As he grew up in Anfeng City, he was very familiar with all the streets and alleys in the city. After avoiding four or five waves of patrols along the way, Luo Wu successfully arrived outside the military camp in Xicheng.

In the darkness, Luo Wu looked towards the military camp. As Zhang Xiaosan said, the military camp today is far from the loose defense as usual. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a sentry every three steps and a sentry every five steps. Not only that, Luo Wu only secretly observed outside for half an hour, and there were already three waves of sentries passing by, each of which had as many as twenty people.

In other words, there was a wave of sentries every quarter of an hour in the military camp, and there were arrow towers and watchtowers at the four corners of the military camp wall and on both sides of the gate, and there were soldiers on duty on them. Seeing this, Luo Wu was more certain that there must be something wrong in the military camp, but with such defense, Luo Wu also knew that it was basically impossible for him to get into the camp.

Standing in the darkness of the street outside the gate of the military camp, after thinking for a long time, Luo Wu did not think of how to get into the military camp. As a last resort, Luo Wu decided to go around to the back of the military camp to have a look.

The West City Military Camp in Anfeng City is located on the north side of the west gate of Anfeng City, but it is not close to the main street running through the east side of Anfeng City. Instead, you need to walk some distance north along the west city wall.
