Chapter 5: The Action Begins
Now he commanded them to go down, and all of them hid themselves in their places, and then they went on when the hour was over. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xuan Shijing said: "After hiding down, rest when you should rest, eat what you should eat, as soon as the time passes, Chang Le, Shi Hu and Xue Rengui, the three of you cooperate, all the way towards Liaodong City, clean up all the scouts on the road." ”
"Yes!" The three of them responded.
"As for how to clean it up, that is, you must not let a scout run back to Liaodong City, Xue Rengui is keeping an eye on it fifty steps away with a bow and arrow, don't be discovered by the scouts, Chang Le and Shi Hu, the two of you are good, just go to hand-to-hand combat, as long as someone wants to run, Xue Rengui will immediately make up for an arrow."
Relying on the most primitive conspiracy, the first thing Xuan Shijing had to pull out was the scouts outside Liaodong City, as for why he could only do it after a while, that was the result of Xuan Shijing and Chang Le going to Liaodong City to investigate before.
After the second half of the night, the gates of Liaodong City will be opened, and the scouts who go out to patrol and investigate in the first half of the night will be handed over to the scouts in the city, and the newly sent scouts in the city will be redistributed to ensure that the scouts are energetic and have enough time to rest.
The army of the Tang Dynasty was sleeping soundly on the side, and no one in Liaodong City thought that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was just coming to Liaodong to hunt.
Therefore, it is also busy with the scouts in the city, but there are only so many scouts, and the remaining sergeants are not specialized scouts, and they have to stay in Liaodong City just in case, so these days, the scouts are already in four shifts.
After the second shift of scouts in the evening, the scouts were cleared to ensure the safety of the city until the morning.
A team of 300 people is not a small target for these scouts, and in order to prevent them from being discovered, Changle and the three of them go to clean up the scouts, making sure that none of them are missed.
"In the second half of the night, there are a total of eighty scouts who come out of the city in shifts, at least two people in a group, at most a group of five people, and the scouts in a group of five people are not closely connected, there is a certain distance, you have to pay attention to this, pay attention to the number when cleaning up, eighty people, no one can be less, understand?" Xuan Shijing instructed.
"Understood!" The three nodded in response.
If the pioneer battalion is to open the way for the army, then they are scattered, it is to open the way for the vanguard battalion, with only three people, to deal with eighty scouts, and the time must be limited to less than an hour, this task is very difficult for them.
"Zhao Tiezhu, Zhang Daniu, Fang Shu, the three of you lead the various departments and wait for the time." Xuan Shijing commanded.
"Yes!" The three of them responded.
"Master Hou, what about you?" Chang Le looked at Xuan Shijing worriedly, he and Shi Hu are family generals, and the main task is not to serve in the army, but to protect Xuan Shijing's safety, even if Shi Hu is now a captain in the army, but under Xuan Shijing's command, that is to return to the family general's own position.
"Eighty scouts, time is a little short for you, Ben Hou will be with you, but not together, half an hour later, Ben Hou will be waiting for you under the wall on the right side of the West City Gate." Xuan Shijing said.
Because the city wall of the West City Gate is facing the Tang army ten miles away, the guards on the city wall are the most city walls, but in the second half of the night, especially in the darkest period before dawn, people are sleepy and tired, and the soldiers on the city wall are all sluggish.
"Master Hou can't!" Hearing that Xuan Shijing was going to be in danger, Chang Le took the lead in standing up against it.
Without waiting for Chang Le and the others to speak more, Xuan Shijing interrupted: "This is a military order!" ”
Xuan Shijing sneaked under the city wall alone also has his reason, a person's goal is the most inconspicuous, the news that the scouts have gathered back in the past few days Xuan Shijing has also carefully ordered, in the second half of the night, until the morning scout shifts, as long as the scouts outside do not return to the city, the city gate will not open, so Xuan Shijing is very safe under the city wall.
Taking advantage of the night, Xuan Shijing can grope into the city gate hole, and the pre-determined place where the explosives are placed is in the city gate hole.
As for igniting the explosives, it is certainly not possible to let the people of the pioneer battalion here, but the lead cannot be arranged in advance, and it is more exposed before dawn, and it will be troublesome if this thing is exposed to the outside and damp.
When he took over this task from His Majesty Li Er, Xuan Shijing knew the danger of this task, but what about the danger? The three hundred soldiers under his command are human lives, and the other sergeants in the army are also human lives, this matter is properly planned, how much loss can be saved for the army, His Majesty Li Er knows it in his heart, and Xuan Shijing also knows it in his heart.
Since it is a matter of nine deaths and one life, Xuan Shijing himself has to take the lead in the spirit of taking the lead, and the soldiers are bears and bears, and now it is time for Xuan Shijing, who is a general, to show his own courage.
"Now everyone, disperse and hide, check your weapons and equipment, Chang Le, Shi Hu, Xue Rengui, let's go!" Xuan Shijing lowered his voice and shouted.
Xuan Shijing gave an order, and the six people around him, the three Bai Chang, scattered and went to lead his subordinates to rest, and Chang Le, after taking a look at Xuan Shijing, left with Shi Hu and Xue Rengui.
Time is tight, even if you can't do it before the time, you have to observe the scope of the scout's activities, whether there is a fixed location target, etc., and by the way, you can also be a scout for the soldiers of the pioneer battalion, and wait until the shift is over to act, it is much simpler.
And Xuan Shijing, after checking the equipment he was carrying, quickly disappeared into the night.
The soldiers in the vanguard camp were brought out by Xuan Shijing, and Xuan Shijing knew very well that after he did it deliberately, even if he was not there, the three Bai Chang would be enough to take charge in a short period of time.
As for Chang Le, Shi Hu and Xue Rengui, Xuan Shijing was even more at ease.
Even if Chang Le and Shi Hu are tactically deficient, Xue Rengui is enough to make up for it, although now this famous general in the future is still just stepping out of the starting line on the road to rise, but some talents are arranged on him by God since he was born.
Because of the relationship between him and him once, when Xuan Shijing advanced towards Liaodong City again, he easily avoided the scout's sight, found a hidden place, and began to think about the arrival of Zishi.
The place that Xuan Shijing picked is very good, and the vision is wide enough when he hides, and the important thing is to be able to see the gate of Liaodong City from a distance.
