Chapter 584: Bombed a battalion
"Master Hou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "In the Beisha City Mansion, Chang Le ran in: "Those Goguryeo people have retreated, the scouts have come to report, they have retreated ten miles, and they are camping. ”
"It seems that after two days of marching, they want to rest." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "Chang Le, you said that we didn't entertain them well, aren't we all sorry for them." ”
"How does Master Hou want to entertain them?" Chang Le asked, for his own Hou Ye's attitude of pushing the enemy into a place of no return, Chang Le just sought the answer he wanted to know.
"Like, blow up a camp or something." Xuan Shijing smiled: "How much gunpowder do we still have?" ”
"Master Hou, now there are only two boxes of gunpowder left, and the rest have been taken away by the prince." Changle replied.
"It seems that King Jiangxia also knows the beauty of this thing, it seems that Gaimu City is going to suffer." Xuan Shijing touched his chin and smiled: "Tonight, Chang Le, you take two brothers with good skills, bring two packs of explosives, and see if you can touch their camp, find the place where they store grain and grass, and blow them up directly." ”
"Yes, Master Hou." Chang Le responded.
"By the way, don't take any risks, if you can't get in, blow up the camp twice, in short, tonight, don't let them live in peace." Xuan Shijing said: "Now the 1,000 defenders in Beisha City don't all need to go up to the city wall, they will divide 400 people, each city wall, 100 people, up and down in the middle of the night shifts, the main event is still tomorrow." ”
Chang Le nodded.
The 300 soldiers were already very familiar with the use of gunpowder, but the vanguard army was worse, because after arriving in Liaodong, they only fought a battle with 3,000 Goguryeo soldiers in Beisha City, and did not use gunpowder, so what kind of power gunpowder was, the vanguard army had never seen it.
That night, Chang Le took Fang Shu and Zhou Ji out of the city and went to the military camp in Goguryeo, ten miles away.
About two days later, the soldiers guarding the city heard a violent explosion in the distance, and then they could see a burst of fire in the Goguryeo military camp ten miles away.
At this time, Xuan Shijing had not yet fallen asleep, standing in the city gate tower, looking at the bright light in the distance.
"It's big enough." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
"Master Hou, is this the movement of gunpowder?" The defender beside him asked.
"Yes, the little gunpowder that I got in our Beisha City was just a small fight, but such a gift, let's give it to the Goguryeo people a lot, I want to come in the middle of the night, as soon as such a movement comes out, they want to sleep." The Changle bombing camp was successful, and Xuan Shijing's mood was still very good.
"yes, I was a little sleepy, but all of a sudden, I was all awake." The defenders also began to laugh with Xuan Shijing.
"It's okay, hold on for a while, and when it's time for the third watch, you will have to change your guards, and have a good rest after returning to the camp." Xuan Shijing said soothingly.
The defender scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled.
After saying a few words to the guards, Changle had already succeeded in the camp on the Goguryeo side, and Xuan Shijing was relieved and went down to the city, and Xuan Shijing returned to his bedroom and clothes in the palace to sleep.
As soon as the morning dawned, Xuan Shijing was woken up by Chang Le.
"Master Hou, the Goguryeo army outside the city is gathering and coming towards us." Chang Le stood outside the door and said as he knocked on the door.
"So early?" Xuan Shijing got up, put on soft armor and opened the door, and saw Chang Le, who was still in good spirits: "Just came back?" Haven't slept all night? ”
Chang Le smiled: "Yes, I obeyed your orders, and I didn't let those Goguryeo people stop all night, but my subordinates were surprised, how could they still have the energy to come to us to call for battle." ”
"I'm done early, and I'll explain to Yang Wanchun sooner? It is estimated that they know Ben Hou's brazen style, and three or two people made them uncomfortable last night, but what about today? What about tomorrow? Also, it is estimated that the two packets of gunpowder also left a psychological shadow on them. Xuan Shijing quipped: "Let's go, go up to the city wall and have a look." ”
"Master Hou, breakfast ......."
"Send it to the city wall." Xuan Shijing said.
Xuan Shijing went up to the city wall, and at this time standing on the city wall, he could already see the outline of Goguryeo's 10,000 army, it seems that these people really didn't have much rest last night, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten up early to bury the pot and make rice, and they ran to Beisha City early in the morning to disturb people's dreams.
After a while, Chang Le carried the food box to the city wall.
"Chang Le, there's no problem over there, right?" Xuan Shijing finally confirmed with Chang Le.
Fang Shu did not return to Beisha City last night, but camped on the beach with two hundred people, waiting for the signal from Beisha City at any time.
Chang Le shook his head: "Master Hou can rest assured." ”
Xuan Shijing looked up at the weather, it was gloomy, it didn't seem to be a good weather for the defenders of Beisha City. If it rains, those powder packets won't be useful.
In just a quarter of an hour, the 10,000-strong army of Anshi City had already marched to the city of Beisha City, and among the army, there were also temporary ladders made to deal with the wall of Beisha City. The preparation is sufficient.
"The ladder is long enough, drink, and the well, it seems that this leader is not a fool." Xuan Shijing smiled, and then ordered left and right, and ordered to go down and assemble the catapults on the city. Condescendingly, the side of Beisha City still has the advantage.
Soon, the guards at the head of the city obeyed Xuan Shijing's order and dispersed, and the catapults made before were also assembled on the city wall, after all, the things fixed on the city wall did not need a wheel, and the installation was very simple.
"General, we can't go any further, you see that the catapult has been pushed up on the head of Beisha City." The lieutenant next to the lieutenant pointed to the catapults on the city wall and said to Yang Wanchun's lieutenant.
"Cunning Tang people!" The lieutenant general scolded: "Go further, the battlefield has always been the territory of the brave, pass my order to go down, beat the drum and march, and quickly push the well over first." ”
"Yes, General." The lieutenant replied.
Immediately afterwards, the 10,000 men of Goguryeo slowly pushed forward, and when they were close to the head of Beisha City, the throwing carts on the head of the city moved.
The defenders at the head of the city worked in pairs to put the stones they had prepared in advance on top of the cart, and then pulled the mechanism to throw the stones.
The places placed on the head of the city are all light throwing carts, and the range is not very far, but it is more than enough to defend the city.
