The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 828 The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, killing people and setting fires
In the past two nights, Chang Le wandered around in the enemy camp and saw what the Goguryeo soldiers did with the wood they felled. Naturally, he reported all the situation in the enemy camp to Xuan Shijing.

"Raft?" Xuan Shijing smiled after hearing Chang Le's words: "It seems that they have nothing to do, and they want to directly cover the deep ditch in front of Beisha City."

"I'm afraid it's more than that. Before they came to attack Beisha City, we burned all the siege equipment such as ladders and wells. If we still use these simple rafts, wouldn't we have to repeat the previous fate?" Already?" Chang Le said: "In addition to these, they were also found in their camp to collect the fresh soil, presumably to prevent us from burning their things with fire."

"According to this, it seems that it is either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. They must start to act." Xuan Shijing said: "Even the soil has been prepared and spread directly on the raft. Then the deep ditch in front of our city wall , but it really became a display.”

"Then what shall we do?" Chang Le asked.

Xuan Shijing rubbed his chin and thought about it, although those Goguryeo people were so well prepared, but when the real thing came, how could it be possible to cross that deep ditch without paying some price when attacking the city.

Even if they sent people to take the lead to spread the raft and mud, the defenders at the top of the city could also use boulders and bows to fight back.

However, it seems that the effect that can be achieved in this way is negligible. There are 7000 people. Nowadays, the most indispensable thing in Goguryeo is people.

"Tonight, you take two people to bomb the enemy's camp as usual." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "I have been repeating these days, and I think the vigilance of those Goguryeo people is not as strong as it was at first. The equipment and food and grass were all burned, and without the equipment and food, the morale of those Goguryeo soldiers would be hit hard."

"Yes, Lord Hou." Chang Le replied, anyway, after these few days, Chang Le has almost figured out what is going on in the enemy's barracks.

Just like what my Lord Hou said, compared to the beginning, those Goguryeo soldiers were indeed much less defensive last night. The action tonight may be easier than before.

This has been going on for several days. They have no rest during the day and can't sleep well at night. Those Goguryeo soldiers, even if they are hardened, can't stand it.

Without equipment, it means that those Goguryeo soldiers who want to attack Beisha City have to make new ones, and without food and grass, they can't stay outside Beisha City for a moment.

It has to be said that Xuan Shijing got this right.

On the other side of Goguryeo, if we talk about guarding against the Tang army, how to guard against it?Even if people were sent to watch the night, how could those ordinary soldiers be able to match Chang Le's elusive skills, and Chang Le used gunpowder, so when the sound was heard, the soldiers in the entire camp had to wake up if they didn't want to.

The sudden arrival in the middle of the night is really exhausting.

So, Chang Le took Xuan Shijing's order, took gunpowder and two helpers, left Beisha City after nightfall, and groped towards the camp of Goguryeo soldiers.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a day of murder and arson, the weather is good tonight, the sky is dark, there are no stars, and there is no moon. Even if the torches are lit in the Goguryeo military camp, the torches cannot illuminate all the corners of the entire military camp. Bright
Following Chang Le's instructions, the two helpers took fire pockets and gunpowder and went to the places where grain and equipment were stored.

The guards where the grain and grass are stored are relatively strict. No matter who the three of them are, they have to wait until the second half of the night before they can act, because in the second half of the night, these guards are very lax. Moreover, there was no explosion in the first half of the night tonight. These Goguryeo soldiers in the barracks can also rest their minds and have a good sleep.

The deeper they sleep, the more beneficial it is for Chang Le and the others.

The three of them unanimously found a hidden position, squatted down, and quietly waited for the opportunity.

In the dark night, time was passing by bit by bit. Apart from the footsteps of the guards patrolling back and forth in the entire Goguryeo military camp, there was the loud snoring sound coming from the tent.

The three of them were very patient, and they waited until the middle of the night, when the patrolling guards began to yawn continuously, with tired looks on their faces, and their walking pace gradually slowed down.

The time has come!

Chang Le took the lead and stepped into the camp of the Goguryeo lieutenant.

The lieutenant general's big tent is larger than the tents that ordinary soldiers sleep in. After entering the big tent, Chang Le began to fumble towards the sleeping couch lightly. After staying in the dark environment for a long time, his eyes naturally adapted to it. , and there was also a faint fire light shining into the tent outside the tent, Chang Le could only walk forward as hard as he could.

The figure of the deputy general appeared in his line of sight, but at this moment the deputy general still didn't know it, lying on his side on the couch, snoring loudly.

Chang Le bowed and continued to walk towards the lieutenant general step by step. When he walked to the side of the bed, Chang Le took out a dagger from his waist and stabbed straight at the lieutenant general's neck.

At the same time, outside the camp, the other two people also started to act. This time the gunpowder was not intended to make them make noise, but was directly dismantled and sprinkled on the grain and grass, and then the gunpowder was sent up, and then A burst of fire appeared in the barracks.

Originally, the guards in the barracks were already sleepy, but the sudden fire light made their bodies tremble.

So familiar.

Before he had time to think about it, the night guard soldiers quickly ran towards the direction of the fire, screaming inwardly.

That direction is the direction where food and grass are stored in the barracks!
Everyone hurriedly fetched wooden barrels and basins, and began to fetch water to fight the fire. Then, there was a burst of gongs in the barracks.

"It's flooded! Put out the fire!"

It's just that not long after the sound of the gong, there was also a soaring flame on the other side of the barracks, which was where the siege equipment built by Goguryeo soldiers during the day was stored.

The timing of the fire was calculated very cleverly. As soon as the fire appeared on the side of the grain and grass, everyone's attention was attracted by the fire of the grain and grass. The people here used gunpowder and hay as a guide to ignite the wooden siege equipment.

The fire was lit, and the two quickly evacuated from the barracks and met at the agreed place.

However, when they arrived at the agreed place, the two did not find Chang Le's shadow.

"Master Chang?" One person looked around, but did not find Chang Le's shadow.

"Is it possible that I didn't see it, Master Chang is still in the enemy camp and hasn't come out yet?" The man hurriedly turned his head and looked towards the barracks.
