The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 857 Under the City Wall

It was not accidental to choose this place, but Xuan Shijing thought about it, staying here, and when the scouts started their shifts, Xuan Shijing would be able to roughly know where they gathered for those scouts who left the city in the middle of the night.

As for why they lurk in the west gate, ten miles away from the west gate is Datang's army camp. Naturally, there are the most scouts in this direction.

It is also a technical job to hide behind and hit the sap.

It was already late when Xuan Shijing and others came out, and after waiting for a while in hiding, more and more scouts appeared in Xuan Shijing's sight and gathered towards Liaodong City.

At this time, many scouts gathered outside the gate of Liaodong City, but the gate of Liaodong City was not opened.

Seeing this situation, Xuan Shijing's attention became more concentrated, and his eyes were fixed on the scouts outside the city and the gate of Liaodong City.

After a while, a gap was opened in the city gate, and a few Goguryeo soldiers came out and shuttled among the scout teams.

Because the distance was too far, Xuan Shijing really couldn't see what they were doing, but not long after, a few soldiers who came out of the city returned to the city, and then the gap in the city gate became wider, and the scouts outside the city began to file in. And enter.

Not all scouts entered the city through the west gate, and the remaining small number of scouts scattered and entered Liaodong City through the other three gates.

It has been so long, and the defense of Liaodong City is still so strict. It seems that His Majesty is really urgent to force Liaodong.

After these scouts entered the city, not long after, another wave of scouts came out of the city, some on horseback, some on foot, and they were all dressed in civilian clothes. If it weren't for the different situation now, those who were dressed in commoner clothes and walked out of the city really couldn't tell. This is the scout of Liaodong City.

Just going out of the city under Xuan Shijing's nose is doomed to the tragedy of some of them.

Xuan Shijing who was riding a horse couldn't fight, so could it be that he couldn't deal with the walking one?

And seeing their clothes, Xuan Shijing also had a bold idea. The people in Liaodong City knew that these scouts were like this, and so did the guards on the city wall, so Xuan Shijing felt that the skin of these people Can take advantage of it.

The place where the government soldiers gathered was under the city wall of the west gate. In order not to make any noise, the government soldiers were all wearing armor, except for a long knife hanging from their waists, and the scabbard was smeared with black paint all over. , the next step is to fight hand-to-hand, without weapons, and the way to death is out of ten.

Thinking of this, Xuan Shijing hibernated for a while, then left quietly.

Three hundred government soldiers were only five miles away from Liaodong City, which happened to be at the junction of Liaodong City scouts and Datang scouts. Five miles away from Liaodong City, Goguryeo's scouts would not dare to set foot easily.

Therefore, the range of activities of these scouts out of the city is the distance of five miles from the west gate. If the enemy is found at this distance, the scouts on horseback are enough to return to the city to report the news, and Liaodong City can respond in time.

It's just that in the early morning of today, these scouts may never go back.

Xuan Shijing clearly remembered the direction in which those scouts in civilian clothes left, and then quietly touched them.

If it wasn't for Xuan Shijing who often tossed and tossed with him when he was training the soldiers in Dongshan County, I'm afraid Xuan Shijing really didn't have so much physical strength to deal with these things in a few nights.

After Xuan Shijing quietly twisted the neck of a scout, he looked up at the sky, but it was still pitch black. The choice of action tonight was also the result of Xuan Shijing's "Night Viewing of the Sky" after dark. There was no bright moon. , there are no stars, and the dark night gave everyone the best cover. If the moon as big as a silver plate was hanging in the sky, if you wanted to explore the bottom of the city, unless the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall were all blind.

The time was almost up, Xuan Shijing looked around, and there was no need to deal with the last corpse that passed through his hands, because no scouts should be able to find him.

Xuan Shijing dropped the body and groped towards the city wall of Liaodong City again.

Tonight's action was a huge test for the Fubing. 300 people groped under the city wall. There could be no mistakes, not even one person. The line of sight is clearer, and the people on the city wall must shoot rockets downward.

It is convenient for one person to move without the interference of scouts. Xuan Shijing, who was dressed in civilian clothes, easily lurked under the base of the city wall. Xuan Shijing clung to the city wall tightly and looked at where he was.

Xuan Shijing carefully studied the shape of the city wall of Liaodong City. If a city wall is all flat, then Xuan Shijing would never dare to let 300 people go to the base of the city wall to seek death, even if the defenders above their heads can't find it. The ones that are farther away can definitely be seen at a glance.

In fact, the city wall of Liaodong City protrudes by a distance of about one step wide and three steps long every ten steps. Military horns are used to command the infantry and cavalry under the city during battle. After all, whether it is cavalry or infantry charging into battle, it is simply whimsical to want to command by shouting.

It is these protruding parts and the horns and drums placed there that block the sight of the soldiers on the city wall, and no sergeant will stand on these protruding places.

For the government soldiers, this became a good place to hide.

Xuan Shijing fumbled under the city gate, hid in the gate hole, and waited quietly. This place is the safest place for Xuan Shijing now.

Not long after, Xuan Shijing ushered in the first person, that is Chang Le.

"Come so early?" Xuan Shijing saw Chang Le coming over: "How are the scouts outside? Where are Shi Hu and Xue Rengui?"

"Master Hou, the scouts have been dealt with. Shi Hu and Xue Rengui are now with those soldiers. Let's think about it. We don't need everyone to come in. We just need to find a way to send the explosives in." Chang Le said .

"One person carries too much, but it is easy to be spotted by the guards on the city wall." Xuan Shijing frowned.

After Xue Rengui cooperated with Shi Hu and Chang Le to complete the task of cleaning up the scouts, he would stay outside. When the army arrived in Liaodong City, he still needed to show his skills.

How majestic it is to bend your bow and set an arrow before thousands of troops and horses.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, we originally needed 300 people, but now we only need 100 people. Before dawn, all of us can evacuate here, which is much safer than previously expected." Chang Le said.
