Chapter 339 Disadvantages of the plan

An hour later, during the hottest period at noon, Luo Zheng, Guishou and Mountain Eagle quietly came to hide behind the sand dunes not far from the lake. They saw that the number of patrols near the Oasis Castle did not decrease. The scorching sun is warning all around, as if facing a powerful enemy, and his military literacy is very high.

"These guys are not simple. They are not the elites around the Wolf King, are they?" Guishou whispered.

"It's possible, but no matter how elite he is, if the battle is going to be like this, it's better to move forward than to retreat, right?" Shan Diao said and looked at Luo Zheng with a firm gaze.

"Well, your task in a while is to fill up the empty kettle with water, and I'll go poison the insects." Luo Zheng looked at the castle in front of him. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the reason. After thinking about it, he agreed to take action and take the lead. Sliding down the sand dune, rolling to the ground and lying down, the cold muzzle of the gun pointed forward in warning.

After a while, Guishou and Mountain Eagle also slipped down from the sand dunes, and they quickly lay down on guard, moving very quickly. Luo Zheng waited for a while, and after confirming that the enemy had not noticed, he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Be careful and act. "Said, climbed up towards the front.

After climbing for a while, big beads of sweat rolled down, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. Luo Zheng came down to rest and stopped breathing heavily. He turned his head and glanced at the scorching sun in the sky, feeling distressed. He looked at the castle patrol, and they were also dizzy and tired of the sun. , the ground was rolling with air waves, it was about fifty degrees, and the air seemed to be burning, making it suffocating.

After a while, Luo Zheng felt more comfortable, and then he continued to climb forward, using his hands and feet together, trying not to shake his body as much as possible to avoid being discovered. Under the camouflage of the desert ghillie suit, he looked like a pile of sandbags from a distance. The heat on the ground is rolling, reflecting the light, making it visually illusive, making it difficult to tell that the sandbags are moving, and it also provides a good camouflage for Luo Zheng's movement.

Half an hour later, Luo Zheng stopped three hundred meters away from the castle. The nearest patrol here was less than two hundred meters away. The possibility of being discovered further was very high. Luo Zheng estimated that it was almost done and climbed up. Go to the shore of the lake, under the cover of reeds, take off your backpack from your back, open it, and dump all the poisonous insects into the lake.

The lake water is still, and poisonous insects and bacteria spread very slowly, but it is not like it will be lost in dynamic water. The surrounding bushes are dense and highly concealed, making it difficult to find. Luo Zheng estimated that it should be effective tomorrow, and the transfer direction, slowly climb back up, climbing very carefully so as not to miss the mark.

About an hour later, Luo Zheng returned to the meeting point and saw Ghost Hands and Mountain Eagle already waiting. The three of them carefully climbed up the sand dune. After meeting everyone, they hid behind an inconspicuous sand dune and observed patiently. It was lunch. At that time, a large number of people came out to fetch water. No one carried two buckets and made three trips back and forth.

"Huh?" Lan Xue suddenly made a sound of surprise. Seeing everyone looking over curiously, she explained: "I feel something is wrong. You see, there are twelve people coming out to carry water every time, and each person has two buckets. It took three trips, which is more than seventy barrels. This amount of water seems like a lot, but it is far from enough in front of the Wolf King's three hundred elites. Unless there are no three hundred people in the castle, then where have the Wolf King's elites gone? What's left? How much?"

Luo Zheng was startled, and suddenly understood why he kept feeling something was wrong. His face became solemn, he looked at the castle in front of him with stern eyes and whispered: "There is a flaw in our plan."

"What's the disadvantage?" Guishou asked curiously.

"Assuming there is a well in the castle, domestic drinking water is drawn from the well, and the water from the lake outside is used for laundry and the like, then our plan makes no sense. It's because I didn't think well." Luo Zheng said distressedly.

"I can't blame you. The enemy's situation is unknown. If you can think of a tactic of contaminating water sources to attack, it's already good. Luck is often very important on the battlefield. If the castle has a well, that's the Wolf King's luck. But this can't be blamed on you. Head, let’s check the situation first before talking.” Lan Xue comforted.

"Yes, maybe there is no well in the castle, who can say for sure." Guishou also consoled him.

"The Wolf King is a cautious person. There is no reason not to consider the issue of drinking water. There is a sand layer under the castle. It is easy to dig a well to get water. The water source will be filtered by the sand layer and become drinkable water. You can drink it directly during the barbecue. This is the base. , a large number of people need drinking water, the Wolf King has no reason not to do it, I was negligent and wasted a day." Luo Zheng blamed himself with some distress.

"It's okay, no one is omnipotent. You have calculated everything to kill the Wolf King. It doesn't matter if you miscalculate once in a while. It won't waste much time. There are two problems now. One is to make sure there is a well in the castle. I think this will be effective tomorrow. , there is such a big temperature difference between hot and cold here, corpses rot quickly, viruses grow quickly, and water pollution is naturally not slow, so don’t worry about it; secondly, assuming the castle really has a well, what should we do? Brother Ghost, you are resourceful, this It's up to you to think about the problem. I found that I'm too lazy to think about it after being with you." Guishou said with a smile.

"Hey, I feel the same way." Snow Leopard said with a smile.

"Brother, don't look upset. Brothers don't blame you. Why are you blaming yourself? It's better to have a way than no way. I can't think of poisonous insects contaminating attacks. All this is just speculation. What if there is no well? ? A wise man must make mistakes every time he thinks about it. The Wolf King is also a human being, right? Don't worry about this for now, or think about what to do next?" Shandiao also comforted him.

Knowing everyone's good intentions, Luo Zheng felt warm in his heart and began to think deeply. He looked at the castle ahead with a firm gaze, shining with the light of wisdom. After a while, Luo Zheng suddenly said: "Have you paid attention to the patrol route of the patrol team? Each patrol team There is a certain distance between them to form a vacuum zone. If we climb up carefully, it is not impossible to penetrate, but we must be very careful and time-consuming."

"It doesn't matter if it takes time. What specific plans do you have?" Lan Xue asked.

"It is more likely that there is a well in the castle. I don't want to wait any longer. Waiting one more day will be more dangerous. If the enemy doesn't find and kill me, I will be tortured to death by this ghost desert that alternates between hot and cold. I propose to take action tonight. The weather is cold and people can't open their eyes because of the cold. What do you think?" Luo Zheng suggested.

"Okay, but how to avoid the patrol?" Lan Xue asked.

"It's not difficult. Some time ago, I fought with the Snow Bear Special Operations Brigade of the Polar Bear Country. I learned a trick from them, which is suitable for here. It is to dig a trench. Dig in front and fill in the back. Only one section is enough to accommodate us. The length of the trench is enough for five people, and the trench does not need to be too deep. We lie down in it and just fill it up. In this way, the level of the sand layer on the surface will not change much, and it will not easily arouse suspicion after dark." Luo Zheng explained.

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they all laughed.
