In less than fifteen minutes, two of the Fifth Grade bandit leaders that Yang Rui had sent out returned.
"My Lord, we discovered a large group of Yellow Turban Army soldiers camping outside the valley entrance as soon as we exited the valley. Moreover, the tents were scattered all over the place. It was very messy. The two of us have come to report this to my Lord and await your orders!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing? "
Yang Rui said after some thought. If the situation was as the two Fifth Grade bandit leaders had described, it might be an opportunity!
Yang Rui had raided the bandit camps at the entrance of Ao Lei Valley in the past. He had plenty of experience in night battles. Now that the Yellow Turban Army had set up camp outside Ao Lei Valley, it sounded like they had set up camp in a very messy manner! There should be an opportunity!
After some consideration, Yang Rui decided to bring some men out to take a look. If they could wipe out some of the Yellow Turban Army at night, the pressure on defending the pass during the day would be reduced. They might even be able to break through! This reminded Yang Rui of Cao Cao's method of defeating and subduing the 'Yellow Turban Army of the Green Province' in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
However, there were too many Yellow Turban Army soldiers outside the valley entrance. It would be very easy to alert the enemy. As such, he had to be careful when choosing the soldiers to send out. In the end, Yang Rui decided to only bring the remaining ten Fifth Grade bandit leaders and Zhang Tian, a beginner general.
"My Lord, are we going to raid the camp?"
Zhang Tian asked excitedly as he watched the ten Fifth Grade bandit leaders disappear into the night. He followed beside Yang Rui and asked.
"Let's see if there is an opportunity. The Yellow Turban Army has too many soldiers. We can only take action in secret. Don't make too much of a commotion when the time comes. Just act according to the circumstances."
Yang Rui followed closely behind the ten bandit leaders and quickly walked out of the valley. He gave Zhang Tian some instructions as he walked.
The Fifth Grade bandit leader was extremely fast, and his ability to hide in the night was very strong. It was only because the bandit leader at the back of the group didn't fully utilize the characteristics of his' Stealth 'skill and intentionally exposed himself that Yang Rui and Greem were able to keep up with him. If that wasn't the case, the two of them would have lost him!
The party quickly arrived at the entrance of the valley. Along the way, the Fifth Grade bandit leaders had taken out a dozen Yellow Turban scouts. However, these scouts were all First Grade. They weren't much of a threat, even if they were called scouts.
Yang Rui looked around. It was just as the two Fifth Grade bandit leaders had reported. The Yellow Turban Army's tents were scattered around the valley entrance. They were like large mushrooms scattered all over the place. There was no order to them at all.
The reason why they were called mushrooms was because these tents were very orderly. They looked like yellow umbrellas on the ground. The area was also very small. Each tent could only fit a dozen people. They were very different from the tents Yang Rui had seen in the game in his previous life, be it in terms of shape or size.
He didn't know what these tents were made of. Occasionally, he could see some lights in them. Judging from this, the tents should be very thin! Perhaps because of this, many of the Yellow Turban Army soldiers in the tents didn't sleep. Instead, they lit a fire in front of their tents and chatted softly from time to time.
With the background noise of the fire, it was much easier to take action. Even if they made a small noise, they wouldn't be easily discovered! Yang Rui immediately ordered the Fifth Grade bandit leaders to attack one of the outer tents!
"Ugh …"
That said, these Fifth Grade bandit leaders were very suitable for this job. As there were only ten or so Yellow Turban Army soldiers in each camp, and they were all defenseless, the bandit leaders only had to sneak into the camp and kill one Yellow Turban Army soldier each. That was more or less all they needed to do was sneak into the camp and kill them all!
These Fifth Grade bandit leaders all had the same strategy. First, they would cover the opponent's mouth. Then, they would swipe their daggers across the opponent's neck and finish them off! As such, only when the distance was very close, one could hear a short and hurried 'ugh' of struggle. After that, there was no sound at all! Some of the sleeping Yellow Turban Army soldiers had even lost their lives before they could react. At least they were spared the pain!
As the outer tents were taken down one by one, Yang Rui also learned of the uniqueness of the Yellow Turban Army's tents.
"Yellow Turban Tent Talisman: Can be used to construct a temporary Yellow Turban tent. Can hold twelve soldiers. Each talisman can only be used once. Number of uses remaining: 0."
So the tents of the Yellow Turban Army were actually made of talismans. No wonder they looked so special! Speaking of which, the Way of Peace's Talisman Water and Talisman Paper had very comprehensive and powerful functions. They could even convert items like tents into tents!
Yang Rui sighed in amazement as he followed behind the Fifth Grade bandit leaders and picked up the items. He was having a great time.
However, Zhang Tian was of no use. He might be a beginner general, but there was a high chance that he would be exposed if he fought, causing unnecessary trouble! Moreover, he might not be as efficient as he was now!
After successfully taking down the ten Yellow Turban Army tents, Yang Rui ordered Zhang Tian to return to the outpost and rest.
"My lord, I also want to stay and kill these bastards."
Zhang Tian was curious to see how easily the bandit leaders took down the tents. He didn't want to leave just like that.
"Shh … no need to say anything more! Go back to the outpost and rest for the night. We still have to rely on you to guard the outpost during the day tomorrow! "
In the end, Zhang Tian couldn't stay. He left under Yang Rui's orders, somewhat resentfully.
After Zhang Tian left, Yang Rui was the only one left. He couldn't go invisible, so the risk of being exposed was slightly lower. Moreover, Yang Rui could only follow them from a distance and pick up the loot in the tents they had already taken! As such, the ten Fifth Grade bandit leaders were even more unrestrained in their actions. They swung their arms and cleared out all the tents along the way.
Yang Rui didn't know how many Yellow Turban Army tents his bandit leaders had taken down over the course of the night. He only knew that his' points' and 'merits' had increased by over three thousand each! It was obvious how effective this night was!
The reason for this was the Yellow Turban Army's lack of leadership and leadership. They might have a large number of people, but they were a disorganized mob that couldn't be unified! If this had been a proper military camp, the patrolling soldiers and the changing of the night slogans would have made it very difficult for such a large-scale incident to happen!
