In the camp, a young scout came in a hurry and reported breathlessly: "General, we have found something! We found enemy lurkers in the dense forest outside the village. They seem to be investigating our movements."

This news made Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan look serious. Wu Junyao immediately ordered: "Send a team to secretly deal with these lurkers, and don't let them go back to inform the police!"

Jiang Yanwan pondered: "If the enemy has begun to survey our movements, it means that they are also preparing for the next move."

The two of them understood each other tacitly, and this silent battle had already begun.

At the same time, in a corner of the village, a group of villagers gathered together and talked.

"Have you heard? Those so-called exiles are not good people at all. They are clearly spies who are here to gather information!" said an elderly villager nervously.

Another villager replied worriedly: "Yes, my kid was almost taken away by them for questioning. It was really scary!"

Suddenly, a brave young villager stepped forward and said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative to report these situations to the general!"

The onlookers nodded, "Yes! We must protect our home!"

In the distance, Lu Wenjin seemed to have expected everything. He just smiled faintly and drank his tea by himself, as if he was an outsider.

As night fell, the team led by Wu Junyao quietly approached the dense forest where the lurkers were hiding. The moonlight shone through the dense leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground, adding a touch of mystery and danger to the grove.

"Stay hidden and don't alarm them." Wu Junyao ordered in a low voice.

The team sneaked into the depths of the dense forest and saw several enemy spies gathered there, whispering.

"Their defense line is not strong. We can take the opportunity to break through." A spy said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Wu Junyao sneered in his heart: You think it's so easy.

He signaled his men to wait for the right moment, and slowly drew out his sword. At this moment, a breeze blew by, and he keenly sensed the change in the air.

"Do it!" In a flash, Wu Junyao took the lead in attacking, his sword cutting through the night sky and heading straight for the enemy spy.

"There's an ambush!" The enemy scout was on guard in a hurry, but it was too late.

The team attacked quickly like a ghost, suppressing the enemy's resistance in the bud. A spy blew a whistle in panic, trying to call for support, but was quickly subdued.

"It's solved." A soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Junyao frowned as he looked at the restrained spy, "They will have reinforcements, and..."

Before he could finish his words, dozens of torches suddenly lit up on the outskirts of the woods, and the enemy reinforcements had heard the sound and were arriving.

"Ambush! Retreat!" The situation was critical. Wu Junyao made a prompt decision and led the team to retreat quickly.

However, the enemy obviously did not want to let them go. The torches gradually approached and the encirclement quickly narrowed.

"What should we do?" a soldier asked anxiously.

"Break out from the east!" Wu Junyao's eyes were sharp. He found that the terrain in the east was lower, which was conducive to breaking out.

"kill!"

Following the order, the team switched from offense to defense and charged forward with all their might. Although the enemy had the advantage in numbers, they were unable to withstand their fierce attack and finally opened up a way out.

After successfully escaping, Wu Junyao led the team to continue moving forward until they were sure that they had shaken off the pursuers.

"It was a false alarm." Jiang Yanwan patted her chest, a little tired.

However, Wu Junyao's face was solemn: "The enemy was prepared in advance, and our actions have been discovered by them."

Looking at the vigilant soldiers around her, Jiang Yanwan thought: "But in this way, we also know the enemy's deployment method."

After returning to the camp, the soldiers sat down tiredly to catch their breath. The battle just now had really made them nervous.

In the village, some villagers had been waiting for a long time, and they were worried about this battle.

"General, have the enemies been eliminated?" a farmer asked with concern.

Wu Junyao nodded, "They are no longer able to pose a threat to you, but you still need to remain vigilant in the near future."

The villagers showed gratitude on their faces, "Thanks to you, we can live in peace."

Wu Junyao smiled slightly: "This is what we should do."

However, under the cover of night, the scroll hidden in the darkness and Lu Wenjin's mysterious smile seemed to indicate that a bigger storm was brewing.

"What should we do next?" Jiang Yanwan asked Wu Junyao, her eyes full of anticipation.

Wu Junyao thought for a moment, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "We must not only defend the village, but also take the initiative to attack and completely crush the enemy's plan."

"So, how should I cooperate next?"

Wu Junyao turned around and looked at Lu Wenjin who was standing in a corner of the tent: "Now, it's time to fulfill your promise. What suggestions do you have?"

Lu Wenjin put down his teacup, slowly stood up, and looked into the distance with deep eyes, as if he could see through the darkness and see every detail. He smiled calmly: "The enemy's strategy is always accompanied by hidden intentions. To defeat them, we need more than just courage."

"What is that?" Jiang Yanwan asked curiously.

"Information," Lu Wenjin replied, "In this battle, intelligence is the greatest weapon."

The soldiers nearby began to discuss in low voices.

"This guy is very mysterious. What trump card does he have that makes him so confident?"

"Just to see if he can really help us. But, what he said is not bad."

"Yes, intelligence is important. We need to know the enemy's next plan."

Wu Junyao nodded in agreement with Lu Wenjin's words, "So, what specific plan do you have?"

Lu Wenjin patted his shoulder gently, motioning for everyone to come closer. "I will lead a small team to go deep behind enemy lines to collect information about their deployment and movements. Once we succeed, we will be able to take the initiative against the enemy."

"This is too risky!" Jiang Yanwan frowned unconsciously, "If something goes wrong, we may never have a chance to turn the tables."

Lu Wenjin's expression remained the same, as if he had expected the opposition. "Risks always exist, but without risk, there will be no victory."

Several soldiers at the scene looked at each other and talked a lot.

"He's right, but is it really worth it?"

"If it succeeds, the village will no longer have to worry about anything, but if it fails..."

Although he was skeptical, Wu Junyao thought again and again and finally decided to trust Lu Wenjin once. He turned to the people around him and announced in a deep voice: "We need the courage to challenge. Lu Wenjin will lead the reconnaissance team. If you are willing to follow him, please stand up."

After a moment's silence, several soldiers stepped out resolutely, revealing determined looks.

"I am willing to follow Captain Lu!"

"I'm going too. I'm risking it all!"

"Since we're going to fight, let's do it thoroughly!"

Their voices were firm and full of passion, which immediately led other hesitant people to form an unstoppable force.

"Very good!" Lu Wenjin smiled with satisfaction. "We will set off tonight. Operation codename: Shadow."

In the night wind, the Shadow Squad quietly set out and disappeared into the night.

At the same time, the heated discussions in the village never stopped.

"Those young soldiers are heroes. They came up with a new plan so quickly."

"But the enemy is so cunning, can they succeed?"

"I believe them. This is our home. Someone has to stand up."

At dawn the next day, the camp was busy. Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan continued to strengthen the defense and prepare for a rainy day to prevent the enemy from attacking. The discussions of these passers-by attracted greater attention, and everyone knew that a bigger change was brewing.

When dusk fell again, Lu Wenjin and his shadow team finally returned, bringing back a lot of intelligence and key documents.

"How is it, was it successful?" Wu Junyao went forward.

Lu Wenjin nodded vigorously, "This is just the beginning, next..." He paused and said meaningfully: "The chessboard is ready, only the final blow is missing."

Jiang Yanwan couldn't wait to ask: "What did you find? What should we do?"

Lu Wenjin calmly sorted out his thoughts, looked around again, looked at all the expectant eyes, and smiled slightly: "The enemy's headquarters is behind the mountain, and they plan to attack in three days..."
