The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 822
"Hou Ye." Chang Le ran in from the Yamen of Beisha City, "The Goguryeo people retreated. The scouts came to report. They retreated ten miles and are setting up camp."

"It seems that after marching for two days, they want to rest." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "Chang Le, you said we didn't treat them well, are you sorry for them?"

"How does Hou Ye want to entertain them?" Chang Le asked, and Chang Le was only looking for the answer he wanted to know about his own Hou Ye's attitude of pushing the enemy to the point of no return while laughing and cursing.

"For example, blow up a battalion or something." Xuan Shijing smiled: "How much gunpowder do we have?"

"Master Hou, there are only two boxes of gunpowder left, and the rest was taken away by the prince." Chang Le replied.

"It seems that King Jiang Xia also knows the beauty of this thing. It seems that Gaimu City is about to suffer." Xuan Shijing touched his chin and smiled: "Tonight, Chang Le, you bring two brothers with good skills. , take two packs of explosives, see if you can get into their camp, find the place where they store food and grass, and blow them up directly."

"Yes, Lord Hou." Chang Le responded.

"By the way, don't take risks. If you can't get in, bomb the battalion twice. In short, don't let them survive tonight." Xuan Shijing said: "There is no need for all the 400 defenders in Beisha City to go up now. For the city walls, 100 people were allocated, and for each wall, [-] people worked shifts in the upper and middle of the night, and the highlight is still tomorrow."

Chang Le nodded.

The three hundred government soldiers are already very familiar with the use of gunpowder, but the vanguard army is not as good, because after arriving in Liaodong, they only fought against three thousand Goguryeo soldiers in Beisha City, and did not use gunpowder. So the specific power of gunpowder has never been seen by the Vanguard Army.

It was night, Chang Le took Fang Shu and Zhou Ji out of the city, and went to the military camp in Goguryeo ten miles away.

Around the second watch, the soldiers guarding the top of the city heard a violent explosion in the distance, and then, they could see a burst of flames in the Goguryeo military camp ten miles away.

At this time, Xuan Shijing hadn't fallen asleep yet, standing in the gate tower, looking at the bright light in the distance.

"This commotion is big enough." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Master Hou, is this the movement of gunpowder?" asked the defender beside him.

"That's right, the little gunpowder we bought in Beisha City was nothing more than a trivial matter, but such gifts should be given to Goguryeo people. I think it will be in the middle of the night. When such a movement comes out, they will Don't want to sleep anymore." Chang Le succeeded in bombing the camp, and Xuan Shijing was still in a very good mood.

"Yeah, I was a little sleepy at first, but now I'm fully awake." The defender also began to chat and laugh with Xuan Shijing.

"It's okay, hold on for a while longer, when the third watch comes, you will have to switch defenses, and take a good rest after returning to camp." Xuan Shijing comforted.

The defender scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled.

After talking a few words with the guards, Changle, the camp in Goguryeo, had already been captured, so Xuan Shijing felt relieved, went down to the top of the city, and Xuan Shijing went back to her bedroom and slept in her clothes.

At dawn, 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 while knocking on the door.

"So early?" Xuan Shijing got up, put on the soft armor and opened the door, and saw Chang Le who was still in good spirits: "Just came back? Didn't sleep all night?"

Chang Le smiled: "Yeah, I followed your orders, Lord Hou, and didn't let those Goguryeo people stop all night, but my subordinates are surprised, why do they still have the energy to come here to fight?"

"After the fight, why don't you tell Yang Wanchun earlier? I guess you know about Benhou's brazen behavior. Last night, three or two people made them feel unsafe. What about today? Tomorrow? Also, maybe those two packs of gunpowder are the same. It left a psychological shadow on them." Xuan Shijing joked: "Let's go, go up to the city wall and have a look."

"Master, breakfast"

"Send it to the city wall." Xuan Shijing said.

Xuan Shijing went up to the city wall. Standing on the city wall at this time, he could already see the outlines of the [-] troops of Goguryeo. It seems that these people really didn't have much rest last night, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten up early to bury their food. , I ran to Beisha City early in the morning to disturb people's dreams.

After a while, Chang Le carried the food box up the city wall.

"Chang Le, there is no problem with Fang Shu, right?" Xuan Shijing finally confirmed to Chang Le.

Fang Shu did not return to Beisha City last night, but camped by the sea with 200 people, waiting for the signal from Beisha City at any time.

Chang Le shook his head: "Don't worry, Lord Hou."

Xuan Shijing looked up at the weather, it was gloomy, it seemed that it was not a good weather for the guards of Beisha City.If it rains, those gunpowder bags will probably be useless.

In just a quarter of an hour, the [-] troops from Anshi City had already marched to the base of Beisha City. Among the troops, there were temporary ladders that were specially made to deal with the wall of Beisha City.The preparation is enough.

"The ladder is long enough, drink, and there is a well. It seems that the leader is not a fool." Xuan Shijing smiled, and then ordered the left and right to send orders to assemble the catapults on the top of the city.Being condescending, Beisha City still has the advantage.

Soon, the guards on the top of the city followed Xuan Shijing's order and dispersed, and the catapults that were made before were all assembled on the city wall. After all, the things fixed on the city wall do not need carts. The wheel is very simple to install.

"General, we can't go any further. Look at the top of Beisha City, it seems that the catapults have been pushed up." The lieutenant next to the deputy general pointed to the catapults on the city wall and said to Yang Wanchun's deputy general .

"Cunning Datang people!" The lieutenant general scolded: "Move forward, the battlefield has always been the territory of the brave, give me an order to go down, beat the drums and march, first quickly push the well."

"Yes, General." The captain replied.

Immediately afterwards, the 1 people in Goguryeo slowly pushed forward, and when they were three hundred steps away from the top of Beisha City, the throwing carts on the top of the city began to move.

The two defenders on the top of the city put the stones prepared in advance on the throwing cart, and then pulled the mechanism to throw the stones out.

On the top of the city are all light throwing vehicles, the range is not very far, but it is more than enough to defend the city.
