Chapter 608: Night Exploration of Liaodong City
"Huh? What, is there a problem? Xuan Shijing looked at Chang Le and asked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's no problem to investigate, Master Hou, if you want to know the news of Liaodong City, your subordinates can enter the city, why bother you to go too." Chang Le shook his head and said: "No, it's too dangerous, in case it is discovered by the enemies of Liaodong City or something, Master Hou, the wife before coming can instruct him to let his subordinates protect Lord Hou and not let Lord Hou take risks." ”
Hearing Xuan Shijing say that he was going to investigate Liaodong City in person, Chang Le's head shook like a rattle.
"Now there is no fight on this side of Liaodong City, and besides, even if I don't take you with me, I have to go there in person, otherwise with so much gunpowder, who of you knows how to use it." Xuan Shijing said.
The use of gunpowder is not to find a place to put it and ignite it, and to use these 600 catties of gunpowder to break through the defense of Liaodong City, this is also a skill job.
"But ......"
"No, but." Xuan Shijing interrupted Chang Le's words: "I must be present for the investigation, otherwise, the time is tonight, it will be dark at night, even if we touch the city wall of Liaodong City, those Goguryeo people guarding the city will not find us, we will both change into night clothes." Saying that, Xuan Shijing pointed at Chang Le and said, "Don't refute, this is the biggest concession from Ben Hou." ”
“...... Be. Chang Le responded: "Master Hou, you haven't said yet, what task Your Majesty has assigned to us." ”
"Six hundred catties of explosives are not given in vain, our troops of three hundred people, with these explosives, want to break through the wall defense of Liaodong City, and open the way for the army to enter the palace Liaodong City, get it right, everyone will be promoted and make a fortune, if you can't get it, maybe all three hundred people will have to fill it in, you also ask the brothers, who doesn't want to go, this is a risky job, wealth and wealth need to be in danger."
Hearing this, Chang Le nodded with a serious face.
Three hundred people, breaking through the defense of the wall of Liaodong City, is indeed a task of spacing, Liaodong City is not as good as Beisha City, even if it is a city gate, the degree of solidity is not ordinary, if you want to blow up the city gate, you must also have the opportunity to send explosives to the bottom of the city gate.
At this time, these soldiers were facing tens of thousands of defenders in Liaodong City, not the five hundred defenders on the walls of Beisha City.
The Tang army has not been stationed in front of Liaodong City for a day or two, and the Goguryeo defenders of Liaodong City are not stupid, knowing that the strong enemy outside the city is around, they are still arrogant not to strengthen their vigilance.
The Great Wall, which had been built by the Tang Dynasty to defend itself, did not play any role, and in front of the Tang army, the Great Wall, which had been built with great effort by the Goguryeo Dynasty, was almost as fragile as paper.
Perhaps the defense of the Goguryeo army was also unfavorable, but in any case, the rearguard army of the Tang Dynasty was put into Liaodong and came to the city of Liaodong.
That night, Xuan Shijing and Chang Le changed into night clothes in the camp, and then the two of them got on their horses and galloped in the direction of Liaodong City.
The military camp of the army was stationed ten miles outside Liaodong City, and the two rode for eight miles before they found a hidden place to put down their horses, and the remaining two miles were already within the surveillance range of the defenders of Liaodong City.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the dark night also gave Xuan Shijing Changle the best concealment, the two of them brought on the masked cloth towel, dodged scattered scouts along the way, and gradually approached the city wall of Liaodong City.
The army was facing the west gate of Liaodong City, which was also the most heavily guarded side of Liaodong City, Xuan Shijing and Chang Le took a look, then changed direction and went straight to the east gate.
Xuan Shijing needs to go to the east gate first, touch the city wall, and then go out one by one to investigate the dead wall of Liaodong City and the surrounding environment, and it is good to have a number in his heart, if those gunpowders want to exert the greatest power, they can only concentrate all the gunpowder together, so as to blow up a gap for the army to attack Liaodong City.
In this way, the loss of the city wall is much smaller than that of the ladder and the well.
Chang Le followed behind Xuan Shijing, carefully paying attention to the surroundings, and occasionally torches flashed, making the two always walk forward with trepidation.
"Master Hou." Chang Le's voice was so small that he could only hear it beside him: "There are too many scouts on the city wall now, and we can't get by." ”
"It's okay, find a place, wait for a while." Xuan Shijing said.
After speaking, Xuan Shijing took the lead in evacuating, followed by Chang Le.
Xuan Shijing looked around the city wall and the surroundings were very empty, it seemed that it was impossible to find a place to hide on the spot, so he could only retreat a little more.
However, there are no mountains and forests within a hundred feet of any city, unless it is a fortress such as a pass, which will be built on a mountain and surrounded by rocks, otherwise the woods around the city must also be retracted for the view of the guards on the city wall.
There are bushes outside the city, but this season, the shrubs have long withered, how to hide people, wait a few days for the battle to start, these low bushes, a war can be razed to the ground.
"Chang Le, count." Xuan Shijing whispered to Chang Le.
Chang Le nodded, then ran two steps and stared at the trunk of the tree up the tree, and climbed up for a distance, and Xuan Shijing also climbed up.
The two of them hid in the canopy of trees, carefully staring at the direction of the city wall of Liaodong City.
"Now in the first half of the night, they patrol so closely, and in the second half of the night, they should be able to relax, what we have to do now is to wait, and when they relax, find an opportunity to approach the city wall." Xuan Shijing said.
"Yes." Chang Le responded.
Xuan Shijing and Chang Le were on the tree, pulling through the branches and leaves to shield themselves from being discovered by the scouts who came over occasionally, and stayed like this until the second watch.
"Chang Le." Xuan Shijing called softly: "You see, now that there are fewer people outside, if it goes on like this, we may have to change our guards on the third watch, let's go over now." With that, Xuan Shijing took the lead and quietly jumped to the ground.
Chang Le also came down from the tree and followed Xuan Shijing to the root of the city wall.
Now there was no one near the city wall except for the guards on the wall, and the scouts were only walking around nearly a mile away from the wall, close to the base of the wall, where the defenders on the wall were blind spots.
The two of them passed on their night clothes, and in the middle of the night, they acted cautiously, and the scouts would not be so easy to find them, and the scouts patrolling outside were mainly to prevent the enemy from attacking the city wall and stealing the city in the middle of the night, not to prevent thieves like Xuan Shijing.
Xuan Shijing and Chang Le successfully touched the root of the city wall, and began to observe along the city wall, observing the city wall, and also observing the environment around the city wall.
