Usurping the Mongols: My Father-in-Law is Genghis Khan

Today is the first day of the lunar month, and there is no moonlight, only the brilliant starlight of the entire sky.

Extending a hand, it's difficult to see one's fingers.

Zhao Shuo stood on the Great Wall, next to Tarhun, who was wearing a dark red leather jacket and had her hair up. The two of them gazed at the brightly lit and heavily guarded Wuyue Camp, a hundred and eighty paces away.

Zhao Shuo looked at the distant Wuyue Camp without turning his head and said in a low voice, "You know, in the Battle of Wusha Fort, the entire army, including me, went to the battlefield. Why was it that only the Night Owl Guard, which has the highest treatment in the entire army, did not participate in the battle?"

Tarhun's amber eyes refracted faint, fragmented light in the darkness.

"Because you didn't want us to be exposed too early, and you didn't want us to die meaninglessly on the front lines. A sharp dagger should attack the enemy's vital points," Tarhun replied in a low voice.

Hearing Tarhun's words, Zhao Shuo smiled faintly.

"Very good!" Zhao Shuo pointed to the Wuyue Camp in front and said, "Next, it's up to you. I hope you can deliver a fatal blow!"

"Mm!" Tarhun didn't say any nonsense, gazing at the distant Wuyue Camp, her eyes deep as she nodded.

Chirp chirp~~

Tarhun emitted two soft nightingale chirps, turned around, and left, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

The other Night Owl Guards heard this sound and also followed.

However, the light was too dim, and the Night Owl Guards' movements were too light. Zhao Shuo couldn't even feel any changes around him.

Behind him, outside the Great Wall, were ten thousand Mongolian soldiers.

This time, he didn't move Balu's camp, nor did he move the strong women of the Wanggu tribe. He even left some Mongolian soldiers to guard Wusha Fort, only bringing the most loyal twelve thousand Mongolian soldiers.

Although the Night Owl Guards had already taken care of the Jin army's scouts in advance,

Bang bang bang~~

The sound of the clapper on the Wuyue Camp's city tower carried far in the deep night, telling everyone that there was nothing unusual at Wuyue Camp.

… …

… …

"Pfft!"

A cold light flashed under the moonlight.

A Jin soldier scout hiding in the grass a hundred and twenty paces away from Wuyue Camp was covered in the mouth from behind by a Night Owl and had his throat cut, dying silently.

Yes, in the pitch-black night, even Night Owls with extremely sharp eyesight are not much better than ordinary people.

However, the Night Owl Guards have specially bred hunting dogs. These hunting dogs are called Mongolian Greyhounds, also known as Khitan Hounds.

Each Night Owl team has one.

Whether for the herdsmen on the grasslands or the Tumat people in the forests, dogs are not their pets, but partners in life and battle.

These carefully selected hunting dogs are not only quite intelligent and have excellent night vision, but also have a super sense of smell. Any enemy hiding in the dark cannot escape their sharp eyes and sensitive noses.

They are also uniformly fitted with muzzles, so that even if they act on instinct, they cannot make any barking sounds, but can only remind their masters of the enemy's direction by shaking the dog leash.

It was precisely thanks to these hunting dogs leading the way that Zhao Shuo's army was able to accurately reach the vicinity of Wuyue Camp.

Now, it is also thanks to the accurate positioning of these hunting dogs' super sense of smell that the Night Owl Guards have eliminated the ten sentry posts of the Wuyue Camp garrison.

After eliminating these sentry posts, the Night Owl Guards finally approached the three-zhang-high city wall of Wuyue Camp.

Although the light was slightly better, the area under the city was still a dark mass, so it was still safe for the time being.

However, the city above was brightly lit, and there was no possibility of concealment, so they could only rely on their extraordinary courage, skills, and martial prowess.

They were very lucky.

After all, Wusha Fort is not like those large cities in the Central Plains with hundreds of years of history. Those large cities have been repaired over the dynasties, and the city also has inner layers of defense such as barbicans and horse-blocking walls, making it almost impossible to take advantage of any opportunity.

Of course, it is not much easier to successfully attack Wuyue Camp by surprise now.

Every sixty paces, there is a protruding machicolation.

Two patrolling soldiers stand on each machicolation, and between two machicolations, there are two patrols of ten soldiers each, patrolling in a crisscross pattern.

Roughly calculated, there are eight hundred soldiers guarding the four-li city wall of Wusha Fort!

Bang bang bang~~

The patrolling team on the city wall rings the clapper every half hour.

If the sound of the clapper stops, it means that an enemy is attacking.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

It must be fast!

Whoosh!

Just as the two patrolling teams passed each other, and the sound of footsteps was a little chaotic, Tarhun threw a grappling hook, skillfully and silently hooking it onto the crenellation of the city wall.

The Night Owl Guards' grappling hooks are specially made. The rawhide rope of the grappling hook is soaked in fish oil for nine days and nine nights, and the iron hook is covered with a layer of fine wool.

Even so, Tarhun's precise grasp of distance is truly superb and exquisitely perfect.

The patrolling Jin soldiers did not notice anything unusual.

Feasible!

The Night Owls waited patiently, and when the patrolling teams passed each other again, nineteen more grappling hooks were almost simultaneously attached to the city wall.

A total of twenty, enough!

After all, the total number of Jin army patrol teams is twenty people.

Tarhun and twenty Night Owls took advantage of the moment when the two patrolling teams were farthest from the grappling hooks, silently and swiftly climbing upwards.

In just a moment, they were less than three feet away from the crenellation.

Climbing up further, the light from the city above would shine through, and the sentries on the machicolations might notice them.

The next action must be fast, steady, accurate, ruthless, and must also have good luck!

"I hope that fellow's judgment is accurate, and that the defense of Wuyue Camp is strict on the outside, but actually lax inside."

Tarhun sighed inwardly, held his breath, listened to the sound of footsteps on the city wall, and waited for the moment when the two patrolling teams were about to meet but had not yet met. That was precisely the most lax moment for the enemy, and also the only opportunity for the Night Owl Guards to take control of them all.

Now!

Twenty Night Owls almost simultaneously leaped nimbly and agilely onto the crenellation, and at the same time, the blow darts in their mouths shot out like lightning towards the throats of the enemies five steps away!

The so-called poison that seals the throat upon seeing blood takes at least five breaths to take effect on large animals like humans, so the Night Owl Guards abandoned it.

The poison on the Night Owl Guards' blow darts is specially formulated. When stuck in the neck, it will cause a person to fall into a coma within two breaths.

No sooner said than done, just as the Jin soldier squad on patrol was about to fall down after being hit by the darts, twenty Night Owls had already leaped up, supporting their bodies to prevent them from making any noise. Then, they quickly dragged them into the shadows on the city wall and changed into their clothes.
