"As long as you can transport all the explosives to the city gate without fail. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xuan Shijing said: "Even if they are all withdrawn, Ben Hou also needs to ensure that before the arrival of the army, the folding gate will not be opened!" ”

Speaking of this, Xuan Shijing's tone and expression were unprecedentedly firm.

Once the enemy opens the walls before this, everything that has been laid out tonight will be meaningless, and the vanguard battalion will be in an awkward position, or rather, not only the vanguard battalion, but also the army behind.

Xuan Shijing listened attentively to the movement above the city wall, except for the occasional footsteps and conversations, there was no other movement, and it was silent at night, and some strange animal calls could occasionally be heard in the distance.

For the next period of time, people groped their way into the hole in the city gate, put down the oiled paper bag wrapped in gunpowder, and then left.

After the soldiers left, according to Xuan Shijing's instructions, they would return to the army to find Shi Hu and Xue Rengui, Xuan Shijing and Chang Le were not there, and the vanguard camp was temporarily led by Shi Hu, supplemented by Xue Rengui.

In the middle, there was a commotion on the city wall, which frightened Xuan Shijing and others to hide in the city gate hole, and the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath, and after a long time, the commotion on the city wall subsided, and the government soldiers hiding under the city wall carefully touched the city gate hole.

There were more and more oil paper packages in front of Xuan Shijing, and Xuan Shijing began to line them up tightly on the city gate, the viscosity of the original gum that had not been boiled was worse, but now there was no better choice, and it could only be so.

All the 600 catties of gunpowder were piled up in the cave of the city gate, which took up a lot of space.

"Master Hou, if we don't retreat, the sky will be dawn." Chang Le was by Xuan Shijing's side, helping to sort out the gunpowder, and said to Xuan Shijing.

"It's coming." Xuan Shijing said perfunctorily.

The gunpowder was divided into three hundred parts, and if they were to be scattered together like this, even if they exploded, and if they wanted to destroy the city gates, it would be enough, and if one package exploded, and if there was a mistake in timing, all the packages gathered together would be blown up, and if they were scattered, there would be no power at all.

What Xuan Shijing is doing now is to arrange and glue these gunpowders well, then twist the leads together, and then put them on the ground and sprinkle them with scattered gunpowder. Do these well, Xuan Shijing and Chang Le can evacuate the city gate.

Seeing that the sky began to gradually turn white, Chang Le in the city gate could almost hear the yawning of the guards on the city wall.

"Master Hou, let's ......"

"Well, let's go." Without waiting for Chang Le to finish speaking, Xuan Shijing got up, moved his muscles and bones, and looked at the scenery outside the city gate.

Normally, at this time, it should be the time when the scouts outside come back to change shifts.

Scouts at night go out and come back, and the shift is shorter than the scouts during the day, and usually at this time, there should be scouts starting to rush back.

In the current environment, Xuan Shijing and Chang Le want to run back, and it really takes some effort.

It's just that the two of them have just groped under the city wall, and because they are relatively close to the ground, Xuan Shijing and Chang Le both heard movement from a distance.

Cavalry!

With such a sound, the two of them looked at each other, and they all knew in their hearts that this was the army coming here.

Both of them heard the movement, and the people on the city wall had a wider field of vision than the two on the ground, and naturally they also noticed the interweaving of black and firelight from a distance.

The city walls suddenly became lively! However, the soldiers on the city wall shouted Goguryeo dialect, and Xuan Shijing and Chang Le couldn't understand it at all.

But at this time, it doesn't matter what they shout, it's nothing more than "the enemy is coming" or something like that.

The only thing Xuan Shijing and Chang Le have to do now is to run quickly and run out of the range of the bows and arrows of the guards on the city walls.

There was a mess on the city wall, and the two of them ran more attentively.

The soldiers on the city wall did discover the movement of the Tang army, and after the captain on duty learned the news, he shouted out in a loud voice, and the entire defenders on the city wall were in good spirits.

"You guys stay here, I'll report to the city lord!" After the captain finished speaking, he hurriedly descended the city wall and ran to the city lord's mansion.

"Look, there's someone down there!" The eyes on the city wall are better, after all, they found Xuan Shijing and Chang Le.

"Look at their clothes, are they scouts coming back?" Someone next to him said.

"No, our scouts are not so young, and you can see the long knife on their waist, which is the horizontal knife in the army of the Tang Dynasty!" The other pointed at Xuan Shijing and said.

"That's the enemy's scout! Fast! Shoot the arrows! A captain on the city wall hurriedly picked up the bow and arrow he was carrying behind his back, bent his bow and shot at Chang Le.

Judging from the age, in the impression of the Goguryeo people, it is natural that the older Changle is more valuable.

Chang Le, who was outside the city, heard a different shout on the city wall, and hurriedly turned around, just in time to see the guards on the city wall bending their bows and arrows aimed at the two of them.

"Master Hou is not good, they found out about us." Chang Le hurriedly turned around, pulled out the long knife on his waist and protected Xuan Shijing's back.

At this time, Xuan Shijing also turned around, saw the situation on the city wall, pulled out the long knife on his waist and said to Chang Le: "Slowly retreat!" ”

Chang Le nodded, and then the two of them waved the long knives in their hands intently, resisting the arrows fired from the city wall.

At first, there were not many arrows, because it was only the sergeant on the left side of the city gate who found Xuan Shijing and Chang Le's figures, and when the second wave of arrows rained, it was very obvious, and the density of arrows was much greater.

The two fought and retreated, the speed was not fast, and they looked a little alone in dealing with the arrows in the sky.

"Master Hou!" Chang Le struggled to resist the arrows, but he was still very secret, and some of the arrows crossed Chang Le and pierced straight at Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing only felt that a sudden heart-piercing pain came from his shoulder, and in the afterglow of his gaze, an arrow appeared and stuck in his shoulder.

Xuan Shijing endured the pain, raised his right hand and waved the knife to cut off most of the arrow shaft outside, and then continued to wave the long knife with difficulty.

This is not the time to be afraid of pain, don't insist on teeth, you have to stay here.

As soon as Xuan Shijing was injured, the long knife in Chang Le's hand was even more impermeable, but this was not a solution after all.

After Xuan Shijing was injured, not long after, Chang Le's legs and arms were also inserted with arrows, and the speed of the two slowed down even more.

"Chang Le!" Xuan Shijing saw Chang Le stumbling, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the pillar Chang Le, with half of his body in front of Chang Le, wielding a long knife to resist the arrows with his uninjured arm.
