The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 855 The Pioneer Battalion Departs!
After Xuan Shijing left, His Majesty Li Er said in a low voice: "Deyi, tell the hidden guards beside Jing'er that tomorrow, no matter what, protect him. If so, then go with Jing'er."

"No." Deyi replied in a low voice.

At the end of September in Liaodong, the coolness began to gradually appear. Especially at night, when walking outside, I always feel the wind blowing, which makes people feel a creepy feeling. Maybe this is also related to people and the environment.

This is the battlefield of Liaodong. The land standing under our feet has not known how many people buried their bones here. In the former Sui Dynasty, this place was really full of mountains and rivers and blood.

In the big camp, three hundred government soldiers had assembled, and each of them carried two oiled paper parcels around their waists. These parcels were the weapons to break through the gates of Liaodong City.

Chang Le and Shi Hu stood on the left and right of Xuan Shijing, while Xue Rengui stood in front of the team, with a brand new strong bow hanging on his back, and a quiver, which was made of leather and folded several layers. The layers are filled with arrows, such a quiver, even if it is running on horseback or rolling on the ground, the arrows in it will not fall.

"Brothers, we are going to Liaodong City tonight. In the middle of the night, we must all touch the city wall of Liaodong City. At Yinshi, blow up the west gate of Liaodong City. We are the vanguard battalion of the army, and we are in charge of To open up the way for the army to enter the city, Liaodong City has nearly 300 soldiers, but now we only have [-] people, are you afraid?" Xuan Shijing stood where he was, looking at the [-] soldiers indifferently.

"Don't be afraid!" The three hundred government soldiers said in unison with solemn expressions.

"Lie." Xuan Shijing scolded with a smile: "This Marquis is afraid, how could you not be afraid, and now Ben Hou's heart is still pounding."

Hearing Xuan Shijing's words, none of the three hundred soldiers spoke, and the camp became completely silent.

"So what can I be afraid of? It's not shameful to say it, but it's shameful to shrink back because of fear on the battlefield. Does anyone remember what the Marquis told you before he set off?" Xuan Shijing glanced at the crowd.

"Report! Master Hou said we are wolves! We are hungry wolves! The enemy is meat, tear them apart, they are our food!" Zhao Tiezhu roared loudly.

"That's right!" Xuan Shijing suddenly raised his voice: "You are wolves! You are hungry wolves. Now that the offal in Liaodong City is standing in front of the army, we are going to tear their defenses apart!" Having said this, Xuan Shijing spoke sharply. Zhuan: "However, the difference in the number of people is very clear in front of you now, maybe someone will die there, that person may be you, it may be him, or it may be Chang Le, Shi Hu or Ben Hou himself! Before leaving, Benhou asked, if anyone doesn’t want to go, stand up and leave! I don’t care about it, but if you survive, I only ask you one thing. After you go back, take good care of the family members of your dead brother. !"

Xuan Shijing's voice fell, and for a long time no one spoke loudly. They were soldiers, soldiers brought out by Dongshanhou, and refugees taken in by Dongshanhou's mansion ten years ago.

The men in Guanzhong are bloody, no one will be a turtle with a shrinking head, will you go to battle if you don't see Lord Hou?If you run away in battle, you will not be a son of man!Even if he returned to Dongshan County, he would still be scolded by people poking his spine, and he would not be able to lift his head up for the rest of his life!
No deserter will be respected by others, it is better to die heroically for the country than to live a meager life!
"Very good, since that's the case, before we leave, I will ask you one last thing." Xuan Shijing looked at the three hundred soldiers with firm eyes: "Alive! Let me come back alive!"

"Yes!" Three hundred government soldiers responded in unison.

"Now, all stand at attention!" Xuan Shijing shouted.

With a sound of swipe, the team of 300 people stood upright in the same place.

"Relax!" Xuan Shijing continued to order: "Remove all the sandbags between the legs!"

After giving an order, 300 people squatted down and untied the sandbags tied to their legs. These sandbags were brought all the way from Chang'an to Liaodong. When Jian'an City was built, it hadn't been removed yet. Some people had already patched sandbags. That was when Jian'an City was built. During the battle, the damage caused by the enemy's slashing and stabbing was also because of this. Lucky soldiers , the sandbags on their legs blocked some damage for them.

The sandbags were untied and placed at the feet.

"Everyone is going to Liaodong City on foot tonight. The food is ready, and everyone brings a dry biscuit." Xuan Shijing said, and someone came over with a box and distributed the special dry biscuits to everyone, one per person.

These food delivery people were not from the army, but Xuan Shijing contacted the Chamber of Commerce in Jian'an City and asked them to prepare it specially.

The cakes are not ordinary cakes, but something like Roujiamo, but the meat slices inside are all marinated and dried meat, which is convenient to eat.

A cake is as big as two palms, and after being distributed, it is carried in the bosom, which does not take up space and will not affect the movement.

Before setting off, everyone drank some water, and then, the team slowly drove out of the camp.

Although it was already very late, the lights in His Majesty Li Er's tent were not extinguished.

Deyi walked into the tent from the outside, walked to His Majesty Li Er, bowed slightly and saluted: "Your Majesty, Marquis Dongshan has led his team to Liaodong."

His Majesty Li Er nodded, and then looked at the faint light on the desk, his eyes dazed.

"Your Majesty, you will be marching tomorrow. Your Majesty should rest early. Your Majesty has ordered, and the old slave has already ordered to go down. Even the three hundred soldiers from Dongshan County, Dongshanhou, will be fine."

"En." His Majesty Li Er replied, then got up, removed his coat, and lay down on the couch.

After Xuan Shijing's team left, Deyi notified the generals that he would lead his troops to the outside of Liaodong City overnight when the next day was ugly.

The difference of one hour is enough for the army to reorganize and march to Liaodong City.

After leaving the camp, Xuan Shijing called Zhao Tiezhu, Zhang Daniu, and Fang Shu Sanming Baichang over. Similarly, Shi Hu, Chang Le, and Xue Rengui were also by Xuan Shijing's side.

"Now, this Marquis is here to tell you what to do today." Xuan Shijing said.

Before leaving, except for Xuan Shijing and Chang Le, no one knew exactly what to do to bomb the gate of Liaodong City today. Xuan Shijing also wanted to keep it secret. The camp of the Pioneer Camp was not a hidden place, and Xuan Shijing enemies, but not only the Goguryeo people.

"Please order, Lord Hou!" The six people looked at Xuan Shijing firmly, and clasped their fists in response.
