[Durability Description: The Horn Bow is one of the best bows in Hua Xia. It was made with hundreds of meticulous processes.]

The Horn Bow also came with a quiver made of iron arrows. There was no need to elaborate on its attributes. Every iron arrow had an additional attack power of 1.

After reading the description of the Horn Bow, Bai Xiaowen nodded and smiled. "Hmm, not bad. I take back what I said. You've always been the European King. You've never changed. Oh, you can replace that old crossbow of yours."

Bai Xiaowen chose to give the Horn Bow to Li Shuyi. Li Shuyi happily pulled the bow, put it away, pulled it back, pulled it back, and put it away again. He was familiarizing himself with the bow's functions. She had an Advanced Level 1 shooting skill. She could use long-range weapons with ease after a few more tries.

"Alright, Shuyi, let's go." Bai Xiaowen put away the map.

The two of them talked as they walked. Bai Xiaowen recalled the group of Yellow Turban Army soldiers he had just killed. He said, "I think I understand why Liu Bei's army can't break through the Yellow Turban Army's defense line and enter Xu Province even though they have three Lord-level generals."

"Why?" Li Shuyi asked.

"It's because of the Yellow Turban Army's two buffs!" Bai Xiaowen said. "The Fire Demon's Prayer buff allows ordinary soldiers to attack with fire damage that ignores defense. Although the fire damage is low, it accumulates. Even an ant can bite an elephant to death. In addition, the Yellow Turban Army soldiers drink Talisman Water. Not only do they feel less pain, but they also fight to the death. This way, it's impossible to defeat the Yellow Turban Army's morale with bravado alone. "

Bai Xiaowen's gift of insight was no longer a secret. The only thing he hid was the fact that he could see other people's innate gifts.

Li Shuyi nodded and said, "Liu Bei's army borrowed soldiers from Gongsun Zan to save Xuzhou. They don't have enough soldiers. No wonder they could only face off against the Yellow Turban Army."

"From the topographic map, the Yellow Turban Army encircled the city, divided into four main camps and four auxiliary camps, totaling eight camps. The main camp corresponded to the four gates in the east, west, north, and south, while the auxiliary camps were located at the four corners of Xuzhou City. Their military strength was relatively small, and their main purpose was to communicate with the main camp. If we want to break through the siege, we can't go to the main camp. We can only go to the secondary camp. "

"Does the map show the location of Liu Bei's army?" Li Shuyi asked.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "No. However, considering that Youzhou is northeast of Xuzhou, Liu Bei's army should be in the north. "

"Then … which sub-camp should we challenge? Northeast or northwest? "Li Shuyi asked.

"No, no. We can't go to either of these two sub-camps." Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said with certainty, "The Yellow Turban Army is facing off against Liu Bei. There must be a lot of soldiers in the north. Even the sub-camps are full of elite soldiers. It's too difficult to break through. If we want to leave, we'll go to the sub-camp in the south. Once we break through the blockade, we'll go around and meet up with Liu Bei's army. The twenty-four hours given to us should be enough. "

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi encountered some scattered Yellow Turban Army soldiers along the way. With Bai Xiaowen's Psyche Scan, they were able to detect the enemy in advance and only attack when they were certain that they could fight.

Psyche Scan was very useful. It was like a human-shaped self-driving radar.

Night fell.

Bai Xiaowen sat cross-legged outside the Yellow Turban Army's sub-camp in the southeast. He used his Psyche Link to control the Shadow Assassin and silently sneaked in.

Just as Bai Xiaowen had predicted, the Yellow Turban Army's sub-camp in the southeast consisted mostly of Taiping believers. Only about one-tenth of them were regular Yellow Turban Army soldiers. This greatly increased the Shadow Assassin's chances of sneaking in.

Due to the high level of difficulty in the Three Kingdoms, the shadow assassin under Bai Xiaowen's control moved cautiously even though he was entering the Yellow Turban Army's vice camp. The path he chose to explore was filled with Taiping believers and refugees. As for the vice general's tent in the center, he wouldn't enter it no matter what.

After exploring the general situation of the camp, Bai Xiaowen had already mapped out the best path to break through the camp in his mind.

It was important to note that even with the best path, they would have to pass through six to seven shacks and two regular army tents. It was inevitable that there would be fighting during the journey. Once the fighting started, if they could not end it quickly, the Yellow Turban Army soldiers from other areas would rush over and drown Bai Xiaowen in the sea of people's war.

There were thousands of regular soldiers in the southeast sub-camp. There were close to ten thousand irregular believers and refugees. The spit of any one of them could suffocate Bai Xiaowen to death.

Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen was prepared for this. He took out water sacks filled with oil from his storage space and distributed them to his summoned creatures. Each of the skeleton soldiers carried several water sacks on their backs.

"Xiaowen, are you planning to attack with fire?" Li Shuyi asked softly. Li Shuyi had already guessed this when Bai Xiaowen was purchasing tung oil in Xuzhou City.

"That's right. The Yellow Turban Army's tents are all made of wood. The shacks are made of worn-out linen and leather. They can be set on fire easily. Only by creating chaos will we have a chance to sneak through the camp. "

Bai Xiaowen tied the last water sack to the shadow assassin's back. "It's a pity that the people in Xuzhou City are in a state of panic. It's hard to buy military supplies like tung oil. After going to so many shops, we only managed to buy this little bit from the Mi Family's shop. However, it should be enough to break through the Yellow Turban Army's sub-camp. "

Taking advantage of the night to launch an attack, the Wolf King took the lead and jumped over the fences of the camp. Four skeleton soldiers and a shadow assassin followed closely behind, vaguely forming the embryonic form of an elite squad. Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were at the back with long-range firearms and arrows.

The Wolf King had just bitten two Yellow Turban Army soldiers to death when it caused a commotion. A shrill alarm blared throughout the camp.

"Set the fire!"

Bai Xiaowen divided his attention to several places. While attacking, he controlled the skeleton soldiers and shadow assassins to set fire to the camp and the shacks. After the tung oil burned, it emitted a pungent black smoke that quickly covered the entrance of the camp, making the visibility at night even lower.

The Yellow Turban Army soldiers who wanted to attack the skeleton soldiers didn't even have the chance to charge forward before the Wolf King's Angry Claws pounced on them. Tear, Rend, and other skills were used consecutively, causing them to fall like weeds. Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi took care of the brawny Yellow Turban Army soldiers who appeared occasionally.
