For lurking, the most important thing is patience, Tan Ge is a young general, he has not received similar professional training, and the other soldiers are similar, but many years of military career, coupled with the harsh environment, let them know that once they show up, there is no good fruit.

Fortunately, for them, they don't have to be sure who has entered the town, they just need to know that there are people going in, and there are quite a few of them.

As long as you casually go around the town, about 30 miles, find a remote place, where the line of sight is not obstructed, and even have a variety of military rations, they don't need to make a fire to cook.

It's been more than 3 days, and there is no news, but judging from what we have seen so far, the Liao army is not far away, because since 2 days ago, there have been reconnaissance horses passing nearby, and the density is getting bigger and bigger, and it is obvious that there is a large army coming.

Sure enough, after another two or three days, the army came, because there were too many people, and the seeds did not show up much, but they felt and secretly observed with a telescope, at least more than 100,000.

That's good, 100,000 Liao troops must not all be stationed in the wilderness, this town with a large number of houses, at least 20,000 or 30,000, I just don't know, who lives in it.

Those who came over were the army that originally belonged to Tokyo, 130,000 people, except for a small number of those who stayed behind, and the others came over, and they were divided into several teams in the middle to conduct a dragnet search of the entire Liaodong Peninsula, but unfortunately that group of people was as if they were missing.

Where in the end, the general of the Liao army led by him is very depressed, and now, this matter has alarmed Liao Xingzong, and if he doesn't handle it well, maybe his life will be gone.

The Liao State is different from the Northern Song Dynasty, he still maintains the characteristics of a nomadic people, and the power held by the emperor is very great, and it is normal to lose his head if he really implements it.

Where did they go, they judged that there were at least 10,000 or 20,000 cavalry, which was calculated from the combat effectiveness of the elite cavalry.

But the surrounding tribes, where can they use so many cavalry, and so many people, the traces can't be hidden, I want to visit and find more clues, but I know very well that his position is either not to do it, or, to kill them all, even if there are clues left, there are very few, at least, not in a hurry, can be found.

After a long time of continuous field search, the team was a little tired, and in the end, the Liao army chose to stop around, station it steadily, and then use the most economical method to pursue it.

He didn't know, he stopped like this, just like a kind of wish, he didn't plan to calculate how much at that time, it was good to be able to count a few thousand people, who knows, the arrival of the Liao army, this time there are more calculations.

The 130,000-strong army surrounded the entire town, and the main general and the Chinese army, a total of nearly 30,000 people, were stationed in the core of the town, and the rest relied on the town to rest and control, and spread outward from the town for several miles.

According to reason, such a guard is impregnable, unless someone breaks through the outer defense line, otherwise it is safe inside, even if there are people in the Liaodong Peninsula, there will not be many, this is also a place of negligence.

He was well prepared and knew very well that unless it was a garrison of several thousand, it was unlikely that he would enter the city directly, and when he laid out the town, he had already left a tunnel.

Time can't be delayed too long, this is the hinterland of Liao, there are already more than 100,000 people, this is definitely not all, no matter how much, no matter how long the time, maybe the whole arrangement will be discovered.

That night, after the third watch, he went out decisively, and for safety, he did not even carry all the personal guards, but went with three or four alone.

Fortunately, the Liao army didn't realize at all that they would be sitting on a big trap, for the Liao country, let them hold a mace, the power is infinite, and they know that they are charged, but there are traps underground, or the kind that is all over the city, they never thought of it.

There are a lot of flammable materials, but they are all some cloth and wool and the like, these things are all covered by the Liao army stationed in, and they don't realize that there will be a fire.

In the core of the underground, a long lead has long stayed here, and after the seed is ignited, it begins to run wildly, according to previous experiments, these wires, when the first ignition point is ignited, should be after a stick of incense.

Although I haven't tried it, what will be the effect when all of these are detonated, but I know that the farther away the better.

With the physical strength of the people and others, if they run with all their might, they can leave the tunnel and make peace with their subordinates, then they have already reached the periphery of the entire Liao army, they will change into the clothes of the Liao army, pretend to be a messenger back to Tokyo to report the news, break through the defense line of the Liao army, and finally leave the Liaodong Peninsula.

In the midst of the madness, swallowing the cold air, and in the hollow underground, 8 fuses are burning, leading to different places, a huge trap has been opened, waiting for the Liao army, will be blood and fire.

Almost a tea time, he left the tunnel almost five miles long, did not care to cover the tunnel, and immediately pounced on the woods on the other side, in this daytime, the sparse groves, could not cover anyone at all, but at this time they were given shelter, 300 horses and nearly a hundred men, were waiting here.

The subordinates have all changed into the costumes of the Liao army, and some of these costumes also come from the elite of the Liao army that was once annihilated by them, as for some basic knowledge, some of them were collected through the Imperial City Division, and some of them could only be improvised.

He put on his leather coat, and he was a little breathless, but he didn't say anything, and got on his horse and headed north.

The horse's hooves have already been wrapped, and the speed is not fast, the sound has not spread, and at this time, it should be very close to the explosion.

In the town, I didn't feel at all that the Liao army who was sitting on the volcano was still resting, compared to the wild environment, those who could be stationed in the town were either of a relatively high status or more elite, they had the protection of the periphery, and it seemed that they could sleep very sweetly.

A muffled sound, it didn't seem so real, at this time, the distance from the town was already more than 15 miles, even if there was no fast horse galloping, on the road that had been detected, the speed of the horse team was also very fast.

In the silence of the night, the sound was a little less loud, it was supposed to be an explosive explosion in the core, where the largest explosive was placed, about 20 stones, accounting for a quarter of the total number of explosives.

In the silence of the night, almost a ton of gunpowder exploded, which was not only black powder, but also some other ingredients added to it, which may not have reached a more advanced level, but it was twice as powerful as the original gunpowder.

The huge impetus brought by the combustion, a large amount of gas was released, and the power of the explosion directly caused the buildings above to shatter and radiate two or three houses.

For a small town, there are a total of one or two thousand houses, and three or four houses are a very small minority, but for the people living in these houses, it is a catastrophe, almost one house, there will be more than 30 people, these households are still relatively large, almost sixty or seventy people.

In this, Chong Ge once thought about setting traps in key places in the city to kill the high-level as much as possible, but the layout of the town is very chaotic, and the garrison is very arbitrary, so it may not be possible to determine where the boss is stationed.

Rather than taking such an adventure, it is better to choose the most suitable places, which are right in the center of the town and easy to radiate around.

The explosion of gunpowder, as well as the flammable oil thrown by gunpowder, suddenly caused more than a dozen surrounding houses to ignite, and the peace of the town was broken.

If it is just like this, at most dozens of houses will spread, and the loss may be hundreds or thousands, which is not a small blow to the Liao army, but it is acceptable, but this is only the beginning.

The other 7 fuses were also burned in place at about the same time, and at this moment, it was not a large-scale explosion, but a small-scale deflagration, like a chain reaction, the town began to ignite a fire, 80 stone of gunpowder, and almost 20 stone of oil, under the premise of evenly distributed throughout the town, at least more than 500 houses were ignited.

A small town with only one or two thousand households, after a quarter of the houses were set on fire, it was already a catastrophe, this is summer, the weather is dry, there is no rain, the construction of Liao, and has not considered the problem of fire prevention, even if they want to put out the fire, they can't save it.

The most terrible thing is that the design that the seed has made, in addition to the central position and equal distribution, the location of the various exits is the most violent, that is to say, four or five hundred households, almost 80% are distributed on the outside, unless the burning is completed, otherwise, if you want to leave the town, you have to go out on fire.

Water and fire are ruthless, even in the 21st century, in the face of fire, rushing directly over, will risk the possibility of death, not to mention at this moment, in a safe place, rashly burning, or in the core area, suddenly the entire Liao army will be in trouble.

The blazing fire, in the night, is so obvious, looking at the blazing fire, Chong Ge knows that the whole arson has been completed, and next, it depends on how the fire burns, whether the sky is beautiful or not, then it is not something he can control.

No longer blocking, speed up the horse, at this time, all the Liao army, must go to the town to put out the fire, how to say, there are high-ranking officials and generals inside, at this time, there are very few forces on the periphery.

Speeding up, taking advantage of the continuous galloping in the night, the breeder and others, carrying more than 300 horses, can be continuously replaced, the night speed is like the day, but they also ran out of more than 200 miles in one night, the entire Liaodong Peninsula is only how big, more than 300 miles, has passed through the entire eastern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, close to the north.

Later, I learned that the fire of the seed was really not small, and these Liao troops located in the center of the town were almost completely wiped out, you know, in the center of the town, almost all of the elite of Tokyo were stationed, the most elite more than 30,000 cavalry, almost more than half of them were stationed in it, the loss of men and horses was huge, and some equipment was completely burned into scrap metal, so to speak, the most elite 30,000 heavy cavalry in Tokyo, under the repeated blows, existed in name only.

The nobles, the loss is there, but not big, unless they are trapped or burned by the fire for the first time, the others can use human lives to open a passage.

At the beginning, in the face of growing flames, these people inside were helpless, and the continuous casualties and ruthlessness of water and fire made them almost feel that their lives were counting down.

But in the town, the most elite cavalry, among which there are some tribes and nobles to train the dead, the fire looks terrible, but most of the houses, especially the peripheral houses have been burned crumbling, they concentrated on mobilizing 2000 cavalry, some weak places to impact, the full armor of the cavalry, can be in the fire, a short life, as long as the eyes of the horse can be covered, with the impact of the cavalry, from the fire, rushed out of a way out, Let most of the generals and nobles escape.

More than 10,000 people barely escaped from the interior, and on the periphery, in order to rescue, many people spared no effort to come to extinguish the fire, but it caused thousands of casualties, of course, there were not many direct deaths, most of them were burns.

Even in the 21st century, burns are a very serious disease, and under the premise of a large number of antibiotics, blood transfusions, and even certain specific drugs, the mortality rate of large-scale burns is very high, let alone in this era.

As long as it is a burn, unless it is very small, the kind that burns some fire bubbles, a slightly larger area, or is not well handled, there must be sequelae.

In fact, about 300 died on the spot, and the remaining nearly 4,000 wounded, no more than 1,500 survived, and the rest, all died in pain and suffering.

At this point, the fire of the seed has achieved a huge effect, more than 10,000 people have been directly killed in the core area, nearly 12,000 people have been injured, plus about 5,000 in the periphery, the total number of casualties is close to 30,000.

The burn, which in itself was very terrible, was almost 15,000 casualties inside and outside, and in the end, less than 4,000 people survived, that is, more than 25,000 losses at once.

This is much more terrible than being annihilated 5,000 before, it was a sneak attack, it was a solitary operation, this was in the midst of a large army siege, how could it be suddenly attacked.

Some people think it's a walk of water, but what kind of water can be so terrible, it seals down an entire city at once, and causes so many casualties.

When the news reached where Liao Xingzong in Tokyo, of course, it was angry, all kinds of officials in Tokyo were in the big mold, and directly took down the family, no less than 20, in the same way, Liao Xingzong's anger also made the speed of going to the Liaodong Peninsula to pursue the seeds many times faster, even if the seeds jumped out of Liaodong, they were still being chased by the Liao army, which directly affected the situation of the Northern Expedition.
