When Li Mengxi arrived at the Zhangjiao Camp, the Yellow Turban soldiers patrolling the camp saw Li Mengxi arriving and directly led Li Mengxi to the Yellow Turban Central Army's tent.

I saw Zhang Jue in the Chinese military tent. Zhang Jue was in bad condition and was coughing violently.

When Zhang Jiao saw Li Mengxi coming, he wanted to say hello, but he was coughing and couldn't speak.

For a while, Zhang Jiao suppressed his cough.

Zhang Jue raised his hand to hammer his chest, and looked up at Li Mengxi. Zhang Jue's face was extremely pale, with faint traces of blood on the corners of his mouth. He smiled at Li Mengxi, Zhang Jue extended his hand to invite Li Mengxi to sit down a few steps away.

Li Mengxi took his seat and frowned as he looked at Zhang Jiao. No matter how you looked at it, Zhang Jiao was in extremely poor condition, much worse than a few days ago.

When asked how Zhang Jue was doing, Zhang Jue only said that it would be difficult to recover from a long-term illness.

Out of etiquette, Li Mengxi persuaded Zhang Jiao to take care of himself. Zhang Jiao was deeply moved by his ordinary words.

Li Mengxi came with important military matters. Without further delay, Li Mengxi asked directly, "Are you familiar with Julu City?"

Zhang Jiao covered his mouth and was coughing slightly. When he heard Li Mengxi ask Julu City, he moved his hand and Zhang Jiao smiled, "That is a Julu man."

Li Mengxi nodded, and then asked, "Our general wants to seize the city, but is suffering from not knowing the details of the city, so he came here to ask for advice.

Is there a deep trench protecting the city outside Julu City?"

"Yes." Zhang Jiao said without thinking.

"How deep and wide should the trench be? Can there be spikes at the bottom of the trench? If we attack the city, can we build a long bridge across the trench?" Li Mengxi then asked.

Zhang Jiao thought for a while and then returned, "The trench of Julu City is deep and wide, and there were wooden thorns in the trench. But before the army besieged Julu, all the wooden thorns in the trench were destroyed."

As for the long bridge across the moat, it can be used with or without it. The moat outside the city is gentle and can be climbed over."

Li Mengxi nodded, and an important piece of information was obtained.

Looking at Zhang Jiao, he asked again, "Our army wants to attack at night and needs to cross the city at night. Is there a low and easy place to climb in Julu City? Is there a remote and quiet place?"

This question was a little complicated. Zhang Jiao frowned and thought for a while, then said, "If we talk about a low-walled and remote place, the southeast corner of the city..."

Li Mengxi immediately asked, "Where is the southeast corner? Is it near the city corner or just at the city corner?"

"...right at the southeast corner of the city."

"Oh." Li Mengxi said "Oh," but then, Li Mengxi frowned and felt a little strange. He looked at Zhang Jiao in front of him doubtfully. Li Mengxi asked suspiciously, "The southeast corner of the city is low and secluded with few people. What's the matter?

Related? The city walls are low, so the officers and soldiers don’t patrol the city? According to me, just because the walls are low and the stairs are gentle, it saves effort to go up and down, but there are more soldiers patrolling the city."

Faced with Li Mengxi's doubts, Zhang Jiao smiled and said, "Someone said that the southeast corner of the city is secluded and there are few people. There is a reason for that."

"What's the reason?" Li Mengxi asked.

Zhang Jue's eyes were subtle, half-smiling but not smiling, and he said slowly, "There is a big cesspit in the southeast corner of the city. Who would want to stay in this stinking place?

Therefore, there is some information that in the southeast corner, there are very few officers and soldiers patrolling the city, and there is not even a single person patrolling the city."

Li Mengxi understood clearly that it turned out to be a cesspool.

It is close to the cesspit and the smell is unpleasant. It is human nature for the officers and soldiers to keep a respectful distance from the city.

Then, Li Mengxi suddenly remembered something again, and suddenly said, "How wide are the battlements in Julu City?"

In one sentence, Zhang Jiao was stunned by the question.

"How wide are the battlements of Julu City?" Li Mengxi asked again.

Zhang Jue came back to his senses and looked at Li Mengxi with a puzzled look on his face, "...why do you want to ask about the battlements?"

Li Mengxi said seriously, "During a night attack, you need to use a rope noose to wrap around the battlements so that you can climb along the rope."

Zhang Jue was extremely surprised and thought to himself, how can we use troops like this? How wide or narrow is the battlement? Is such a trivial matter worth a lot of effort?

Since Li Mengxi asked about the battlements, Zhang Jiao went to think about it. After thinking about it, he realized that although he had resisted Dong Zhuo in Julu, he had never noticed how wide the battlements were in Julu City.

Based on his impression, Zhang Jiao stretched out his hands, stretched out his arms and made some gestures, "...approximately, this wide."

Li Mengxi carefully looked at the length indicated by Zhang Jiao. He scratched his head and looked around, trying to find something to write down the length.

I glanced around and saw no rope.

"Is there a long rope or a wooden stick?" Li Mengxi asked.

Zhang Jiao was stunned again.

Afterwards, Li Mengxi took a long spear sent by a yellow turban soldier. He held the spear in his hand and carefully compared the length with Zhang Jiao's hand. Li Mengxi measured the length, took out the knife from his waist, and marked the barrel of the gun.

, a serious look moved Zhang Jiao.

"That's it." Li Mengxi made a mark, threw the spear aside, and smiled at Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao came to his senses and retracted his outstretched hands.

The depth of the trench outside Julu City is known, the low part of Julu City's wall is known, and the secluded section of Julu City's wall with few people is also known.

Is there any valuable information left to collect? Li Mengxi frowned and started thinking.

Climbing the city is no problem. After climbing the city wall, kill the soldiers patrolling the city, then go down the stairs to open the city gate and welcome the army into the city.

Then, they rushed to the army camp in the city and made dumplings for the officers and soldiers.

...This is where the officers and soldiers in the city will camp. It will definitely not be in the southeast corner of the city. The southeast corner of the city is a cesspit...

Li Mengxi raised his head, looked at Zhang Jiao, and asked another question, "If the officers and soldiers are in Julu, where should they camp in the city?"

Zhang Jiao vaguely knew what Li Mengxi was doing.

Zhang Jiao thought for a while and then replied, "In the middle of Julu City, where the government office is, there is a large school field. It is open and spacious. This is the most open place in the whole city. If the officers and soldiers camp, this is the best place."

Li Mengxi nodded. He also felt that the officers and soldiers must be camping in an open area.

There is a large area of ​​open space and the government office is located in the middle of the city, which is the best place to station troops.

Li Mengxi asked again, "Where is the school grounds in the city?"

"The school grounds are in the middle."

"Our army is climbing the city from the southeast corner. Should the army enter from the east gate or the south gate?"

Zhang Jiao replied, "Julu City is long from north to south and narrow from east to west. It exits from the east quickly and enters from the east gate."

Li Mengxi asked again, "How to go from the east gate to the school grounds? Go straight?"

Zhang Jiao nodded, "Go straight until you reach the government office. The school grounds are in the government office."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Mengxi continued to ask, "How many doors are there in the government office, and how many side doors are there in the main entrance? Where are they? How many courtyards are there, and how are they distributed?

When fighting at night, if the enemy's situation is unknown, it will be difficult to capture all the officers and soldiers in one fell swoop."

The questions Li Mengxi asked were too complicated.

Zhang Jiao frowned and thought for a long time, feeling that he couldn't explain it in a few words, so he asked someone to get some cloth and pen and ink, and drew a brief diagram on the cloth to illustrate the details.

After Zhang Jiao finished painting, Li Mengxi understood it clearly.

What is drawn is a large outermost box, which is long from north to south and narrow from east to west, forming a rectangle.

There are openings in four directions, labeled as city gates, four gates in the east, west, north and south.

From the east gate, walk due west and walk very far. In the middle, you will find the government office.

The government office faces the road, with the gate facing south. There is a gate in front of it, a courtyard with two gates in the back, and then in the back, with the school grounds on the left and a large number of houses on the right.

If you want to encircle it from the outside, you can see from the picture that you need to encircle seven doors in total, including the front door, the back door, and the side door.

The details of the map are clear at a glance.

Li Mengxi asked a few more questions to clear up the unclear points, then put away the map and prepared to take it back.

Moving on, Li Mengxi still had questions.

Li Mengxi frowned and looked at Zhang Jiao, "Your Majesty told me about the ambush formation from ten sides. In one day, I led people to measure the road. I wasted one day's work and measured the land and set up flags. It was only twenty miles."

Two days is only forty miles.

If the officers and soldiers escape the siege, they will travel more than forty miles in one day.

This method of ambush from ten sides can indeed gain the upper hand, but it can only take advantage of one day.

The rest of the journey cannot be measured, what should we do?"

Li Mengxi was very doubtful about the practicality of House of Flying Daggers.

Zhang Jiao was confused.

"Measure the road? Why measure?" Zhang Jiao asked confused.

Li Mengxi explained to Zhang Jiao how he used the rope to measure out the march of the officers and soldiers step by step.

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao was extremely shocked, and his heart was filled with ups and downs.

I think last night, we discussed the method of ambush from ten sides. What we said was that we should carefully examine the terrain and terrain, make sure all the territory is occupied, and set up a flag as a mark at the place where the formation is encircled.

Furthermore, the length of the array can be estimated to ensure tight encirclement.

It was just a brief estimate, but Zhang Jiao did not expect that Li Mengxi would lead someone to pull the rope and measure it step by step.

Every step is planned in detail. When the formation is formed, there must be no mistake in one soldier or one step missing. It must be absolutely perfect and flawless, which is shocking.
