Turbulent Times Chapter 1144: Retreat and night attack

Li Xuanba returned with a thousand cavalry in great disappointment. He failed to capture Gao Jianwu, the lord of Goguryeo. For this point, Huang Zhixuan was not very surprised, so instead of blaming Li Xuanba, he said a few words of comfort.

After packing up all the wealth that could be taken away, burning all that could be burned, killing all those who should be killed, and arresting all those worth taking away, Wang Junlin immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops from Pyongyang.

When they heard the news that the Sui army was about to withdraw from Pyongyang, the people in the city breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked God with tears streaming down their faces. The group of murderous devils finally left.

Stayed in Pyongyang for two days and one night, although Wang Junlin issued strict orders, except for the nobles, officials, and soldiers, many innocent people in the city still died. As for how many innocent Goguryeo women were raped, how many princes and ordinary people The family's money was looted, and this number is no longer countable.

In short, these two days have been extremely dark days for the subjects of Pyongyang City.

So, after hearing the news of the Sui army's retreat, the people in the whole city were overjoyed. They thought that such a dark life would last for a long time.

But whether they were excited or celebrating each other, they naturally didn't dare to make too much publicity, at least they didn't dare to laugh before the Sui army retreated, or they hid at home and covered their mouths and laughed secretly. I saved my life, this kind of mental state must exist.

…

…

The army marched out, concealed the banners and banners, and ten thousand Qingqi quietly left the city at dawn. The speed was not fast because they were driving a thousand carriages carrying gold, silver and jewels along the way.

However, Wang Junlin did not return the same way, but left from the north city gate and headed straight north. On the northern coastline of Goguryeo, there were naval warships waiting to pick them up.

And if you go back south, you may be blocked by a large number of Goguryeo cavalry led by Yuan Taejo.

Hearing the news, Yuan Taizuo, who led 50,000 cavalry from Liaodong City in the west, rushed over quickly, but was blocked by the Sashui River, unable to advance an inch. With the vast plain and the faintly visible Pyongyang City, Yuan Tae-joo was very anxious, but he had no choice but to sigh sadly.

"Prime Minister, there is an urgent letter from Pyongyang City, Wang Junlin has searched for a thousand grand

Che Fortune, heading north, can't get up fast, so we still have a chance to catch up with them. "A spy came from the other side in a small boat and reported urgently to Yuan Taizuo.

When Yuan Taizuo heard this, his spirits lifted, and he ordered: "Send the order, the pontoon bridge must be erected tonight."

…

…

When Wang Junlin led his men to retreat to the north, Zhang Tiangang led his special forces and disappeared.

The task Wang Junlin gave them was to use all means to delay the pursuers led by Yuan Taizuo.

On a grassy hill to the south of the Sashui River, Zhang Tiangang observed Yuan Taizuo's army camp with a telescope.

Surrounding him, far and near, were hundreds of experts from the Special Forces.

Each of them was lying in the dense grass and bushes, covered with a withered yellow camouflage cloth, and some dry branches and leaves were inserted into the hats on their heads.

"My lord's guess is not wrong. The Goguryeo people would never have thought that we would attack them in turn, so although there are many people, they are not very vigilant." Zhang Tiangang said with a sneer.

Beside Zhang Tiangang, a small captain with a dark complexion and a pair of big ears touched a fast crossbow on his waist, then pulled out a sharp dagger, and licked it repeatedly with his tongue. His hands were itchy, and he licked his lips. Reluctantly said: "Captain, there is a Goguryeo soldier who ran to the side to defecate in the forest on the right. How about I touch him and bring him over so that he won't make any noise."

This captain with big ears was originally a martial artist in the foundation stage of the martial arts guild. It is very common in the martial arts guild. Special Forces, and successfully survived the inhuman training.

Before he joined the martial arts guild, he roamed the rivers and lakes with a fierce and tenacious temperament. He performed outstandingly in the training of the special brigade and became a small captain.

Zhang Tiangang shook his head without hesitation and said: "The most important thing right now is to slow down the main force of the Goguryeo army. What's the use of you killing a person. Besides, because you killed a person, you will startle the snake and spoil our mission. I will be stripped alive You."

The big-eared squad leader and the few around him all showed disappointment. They are different from ordinary soldiers. Most of them have a fierce temperament.

Competitions and confrontations are far from enough to fully vent, and now I want to use my hands when I have the opportunity.

Zhang Tiangang watched them around, and finally said: "Let's guard until dark, and attack their food and grass according to the plan. Everyone must obey my orders. If anyone dares to do it, I will abolish him personally."

Ye, Zishi, also known as Zhongye or Midnight, is the first hour of the twelve hours. It is also the time when humans sleep the deepest.

The 50,000 cavalry from Koguryo rushed all the way, and the food and grass were collected from the nearest counties, towns and villages under the order of Yuan Taizuo.

With the defeat of the Sui Emperor's million-strong army, Yuan Taizuo, who was already in power, is now in full swing in Goguryeo. No one dares to neglect the local officials. sent over.

The food and grass are all concentrated on the west side of the camp.

At this moment, a group of uninvited guests like ghosts ushered in the camp where the grain and grass were placed.

I have to say that although the Goguryeo army escorted the food and grass team without much vigilance, the basic sentries were dispatched, and even the outer sentries were deployed on two floors. There were also mobile sentries in the camp, and the camp layout was also very reasonable. , the grain and grass are in the middle, and the camp tents of the army guarding the grain and grass are surrounded on the periphery.

However, all of this is nothing in front of this group of special forces members who are no longer in the category of ordinary fighters.

A total of seventy-three sentries were silently covered with their mouths and throats cut on the two outer cordons without making a sound. There were not many people in the special forces team that finally sneaked into the camp, only 21 people. However, these 21 people are the 21 most outstanding members of the special forces team for night travel. They are all wearing special night clothing that will not reflect the slightest light under the moonlight. Key items for this mission.

Soon, all the Koguryo's swimming whistles died silently. Twenty-one people successfully sneaked into the middle of the camp where the grain and grass were piled up, quickly opened the backpack, took out the fuel pack from it, and then It fell on more than a hundred grain carts. Everyone placed a gunpowder bag in a place where the fire would not be able to burn for a while.
