The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 803 Ambush
"That's right, but has Datang's army already captured Beisha City?" Xuan Shijing said with a smile, "Yang Wanchun will definitely send someone to investigate, and we don't need to wait for him to investigate. Pretending to be a Goguryeo soldier, he asked Anshicheng for help, saying that he found traces of the Tang army near Beisacheng and Anshicheng."

"Yang Wanchun is cautious. No matter whether the person sent to ask for help is real or not, Anshicheng will definitely send troops to investigate between Beisha City and Anshicheng. We will directly send people to intercept those people. Anshicheng The power over the city can be weakened as much as possible, and the water in this area should be confused as much as possible. In this way, even Yang Wanchun might not be able to pay attention to whether Beisha City is in our hands, and will not move easily. Beisha City." Xuan Shijing analyzed.

"This is a risky move. It is not appropriate to divide our [-] vanguard troops in Beisha City to stop the small troops sent by Anshicheng." Li Daozong said: "Don't do it for a little profit. Lost the overall situation, on the side of Beisha City,

Although what Xuan Shijing said has a chance to happen, Li Daozong still puts the overall situation first, and will not make risky moves for such a small gain.

Liu Hongji's navy is responsible for the food and grass in Beisha City. Now Li Daozong's first consideration is how to defend Beisha City, and the second is to attack as much as possible.

"If you stick to it all the time, Yang Wanchun will probably find out the anomaly in Beisha City within a few days. Why don't I take the three hundred soldiers from Dongshan County out of the city to disrupt the situation." Xuan Shijing suggested.

"Although the method is good, but can 300 people fight against the army of Shang'an City?" Li Daozong looked at Xuan Shijing and asked.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it. The battle between Master Liu Hongji's navy and the Goguryeo navy will definitely alarm Quan Gai Suwen. Even if Master Liu Hongji wants to withdraw, it will be troublesome. Our Beisha city will be a big problem." With a lone army, you must not sit and wait for death, so no matter what, it is imperative to disturb this pool of water. I asked three hundred soldiers to bring enough gunpowder to intercept Anshicheng's army, and I can give it a go." Xuan Shijing said.

Li Daozong thought about it carefully. The 300-man cavalry unit is flexible. When the time comes, if you feel that you have enough energy but not enough energy, you can just return to Beisha City. As long as you persist for another month, His Majesty's army will come to Liaodong , Jieshi Anshicheng's attention will be distracted, and Beisha City will no longer be in a state of isolation and helplessness.

"As for Beisha City, we can't be idle either. The prince can send people to dig deep ditches outside Beisha City to defend it. Beisha City is backed by the sea, and Lord Liu Hongji's navy is there to ensure safety. "

Li Daozong nodded: "In this case, there are 4000 people left in Beisha City, and 1000 people will be divided into two teams, led by the deputy general and another general, and leave the city with you."

To say that the most indispensable thing in Beisha City now is coolies, whether it is repairing the city walls and gates, or digging deep trenches outside Beisha City, there are plenty of manpower. There are those survivors of the former Sui Dynasty. They are full of brothers. Anyway, those survivors of the former Sui Dynasty are paid to help the Tang army in Beisha City. Why not do it? You can still support your family, and when the war is over, you can also find a place to live a stable life.

With the plan set, the current Beisha City is waiting for the troops transporting food and grass from Anshi City to come over in two days.

Half a day in advance, Xuan Shijing will leave Beisha City with [-] government soldiers, and lay in ambush on the only way for the troops transporting food and grass, waiting for the food transport team to return to Anshi City.

Sure enough, the food transport team arrived at Beisha City two days later, and they didn't become suspicious when they saw the flag on the top of Beisha City. Yang Wanchun already knew about the battle of the naval forces on the sea, but he never thought that the pioneer army of Datang It was from the rear of Beisha City that they landed and captured Beisha City on a navy ship.

Goguryeo soldiers disguised as soldiers from the former Sui Dynasty went out of the city to pick up the grain and grass. After some politeness, the troops transporting grain and grass left Beisha City, but before leaving, the leader of the team glanced at the top of the city.

There seems to be something wrong. Usually, when they come to deliver food and grass, the soldiers guarding the city at the top of Beisha City are more and more lazy. Why are they so energetic today?

He muttered something in his heart, and without any doubts, he took the people and left Beisha City.

The ambush site chosen by Xuan Shijing with three hundred government soldiers was a valley with abundant vegetation and boulders on both sides of the valley. Xuan Shijing asked the government soldiers to put some small gunpowder bags under the boulders. Detonate the explosives.

As long as the lead wire of the gunpowder pack is long enough, Xuan Shijing doesn't have to lead the soldiers to guard the valley all the time, just find a hiding place, just take out the fire pocket and light it.

"Master Hou, the food transportation team is still two miles away from us." The person sent out to investigate came back to report.

"He came here in less than a quarter of an hour, and hid everything well." Xuan Shijing ordered.

"Yes!" Everyone responded, and then withdrew from the place where the gunpowder was buried, and found a safe distance to hide.

Once the gunpowder explodes, there is almost no need for the government soldiers to go down to fight. Just blasting the falling boulders is enough to cause heavy casualties to the food transportation team. This is Xuan Shijing's priority when choosing a location. The Goguryeo soldiers were frightened by the power of the explosives. The government soldiers stood on a high place, condescendingly bowed their bows and set up arrows to receive another wave, and then they could go down to charge.

Not long after, Anshicheng's food and grass delivery team appeared in Xuan Shijing's realization. There were more than 500 people. Under the banner of Anshicheng Yang Wanchun, only the leader rode a horse, and the rest were all The infantry, holding a carriage in their hands, is probably used to transport food and grass.

"Order to go on, light the fire when all these people have entered the valley." Xuan Shijing whispered to Chang Le beside him.

"Yes, Lord Hou." Chang Le responded, and then bowed down to convey Xuan Shijing's order.

The food delivery team walked into the valley under the leadership of the leader, and the leader looked around. The valley was quiet and eerily quiet. Although it was not often, there was always a bad feeling in his heart.

As a result, the speed of the team transporting grain and grass was full.

"Master Hou, could it be that they found us?" asked the soldier beside Xuan Shijing.

"No, we're not on the hillside. Even if they send people over to investigate, but they don't see anyone, they will continue to move forward." Xuan Shijing said in a low voice.
