The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 856 Action Begins

"Now give me an order to hide all of them on the spot and move forward after the hour has passed." Xuan Shijing said: "After hiding, rest when you should rest, and eat when you should eat. After the hour is over, Changle, Shi Hu and Xue Rengui, the three of you cooperate to move towards Liaodong City and clean up all the scouts on the road."

"Yes!" The three responded.

"As for how to clean up, it is absolutely impossible to let a scout run back to Liaodong City. Xue Rengui is keeping a close eye on fifty steps away with a bow and arrow, so as not to be discovered by the scouts. Chang Le and Shi Hu, you two are good at it, so go get close Fighting, as long as someone wants to run, Xue Rengui immediately shoots an arrow."

Relying on the most primitive conspiracy, the first thing Xuan Shijing wanted to pull out was the scouts outside Liaodong City. As for why it took a while to do it, it was the result of Xuan Shijing and Chang Le's previous investigations in Liaodong City up.

After midnight, it is the second half of the night. At midnight, the gates of Liaodong City will be opened, and the scouts who went out to patrol and investigate in the first half of the night will hand over and change duties with the scouts in the city. In order to ensure that the scouts are energetic and have enough time to rest.

The army of the Tang Dynasty was sleeping soundly beside them, and no one in Liaodong City took chances thinking that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty just came to Liaodong to hunt.

Therefore, the scouts in the city are too busy, but there are only so many scouts, and the remaining sergeants are not special scouts, and they have to stay in Liaodong City just in case, so these days, the scouts are already in four shifts .

After midnight, the second shift of scouts at night cleaned up these scouts to ensure the safety outside the city before the morning.

A team of 300 people is not a small target for these scouts. In order to prevent them from being discovered, the three of Chang Le went to clean up the scouts, making sure that no one was missed.

"In the second half of the night, there are a total of 80 scouts coming out of the city in shifts, at least in groups of two, and at most in groups of five. The scouts in groups of five are not closely connected, and there is a certain distance between them. You should pay attention to this , Pay attention to the quantity when cleaning up, 80 people, not one less, understand?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Understood!" The three nodded in response.

If the Vanguard Battalion is to open the way for the army, then their scattered people are to open the way for the Vanguard Battalion. With only three people, they have to deal with eighty scouts, and the time is limited to less than an hour. For them, it is very difficult.

"Zhao Tiezhu, Zhang Daniu, Fang Shu, the three of you lead the various departments and wait for Zishi." Xuan Shijing ordered.

"Yes!" The three responded.

"Hou Ye, what about you?" Chang Le looked at Xuan Shijing worriedly. He and Shi Hu are family generals, and their main task is not to serve the army, but to protect Xuan Shijing's safety. Now Shi Hu is a lieutenant in the army, but under Xuan Shijing's command, he will return to his job as a general.

"Eighty scouts, time is tight for you. I will be with you, but I will not act together. Half an hour after midnight, I will wait for you under the wall on the right side of the west gate." Xuan Shijing said.

Because the city wall of the west city gate is facing the Tang army ten miles away, the most guards on the city wall are the wall. But in the second half of the night, especially in the darkest period before dawn, people are tired and horses are exhausted, and the soldiers on the city wall are exhausted. It was a lack of energy. With the previous experience and without the interference of the scouts, Xuan Shijing could sneak to the base of the city wall very calmly, which was the blind spot of the guards on the city wall.

"Master Hou!" Hearing that Xuan Shijing was about to take risks, Chang Le was the first to stand up and object.

Before Chang Le and the others could say anything more, Xuan Shijing interrupted: "This is a military order!"

Xuan Shijing also has his reasons for diving under the city wall alone. The goal of one person is the most inconspicuous. Xuan Shijing has also carefully ordered the news gathered by the scouts in the past few days. In the middle of the night, until the morning scouts On shifts, as long as the scouts outside don't return to the city, the city gate will not be opened, so Xuan Shijing is very safe under the city wall.

Taking advantage of the night, Xuan Shijing could grope into the city gate cave, and the place where the explosives were placed in advance was in the city gate cave.

As for the igniting explosives, the people from the Pioneer Battalion must not be here, but the fuse cannot be arranged in advance. It will be deeper and heavier before dawn, and this thing will be troublesome if it is exposed to moisture.

When taking over this task from His Majesty Li Er, Xuan Shijing knew the danger of this task, but what about the danger?The [-] soldiers under his command were killed, and so were the other soldiers in the army. His Majesty Li Er knew it well, and so did Xuan Shijing, how much loss this matter could save the army.

Since it is a matter of a narrow escape, Xuan Shijing himself has to show the spirit of being the first to lead the way, a raging soldier, a raging nest, now is the time for Xuan Shijing, a general, to show his courage .

"Now everyone, disperse and hide, check your weapons and equipment, Chang Le, Shi Hu, Xue Rengui, let's go!" Xuan Shijing lowered his voice and shouted sharply.

Xuan Shijing gave an order, and the six people around him, including the three hundred chiefs, dispersed to lead his subordinates to rest, and Chang Le, after taking a look at Xuan Shijing, and Shi Hu and Xue Rengui They left together.

Time is tight, even if you can't do anything before midnight, you have to observe the scope of scout activities, whether there are fixed location targets, etc. By the way, you can also serve as scouts for the soldiers of the vanguard battalion, and then act after the shift. It's much simpler.

As for Xuan Shijing, after checking the equipment he was carrying, he quickly disappeared into the night.

The soldiers in the Vanguard Battalion were brought out by Xuan Shijing. Xuan Shijing knew very well that after he did it deliberately, even if he was not around, three hundred chiefs were enough to be alone in a short time.

As for Chang Le, Shi Hu and Xue Rengui, Xuan Shijing felt more at ease.

Even if Chang Le and Shi Hu lack tactics, Xue Rengui can make up for it. Although this future famous general is still on his way to rise, he has some talents, which God arranged for him since he was born. of.

Because of the fact that he came here once before, when Xuan Shijing was heading towards Liaodong City, he easily avoided the sight of the scouts, found a hidden place, and began to plan for the arrival of Zishi.

Xuan Shijing chose this place is very good, and the view is wide enough to hide, the most important thing is to be able to see the gate of Liaodong City from a distance.
