Chapter five hundred and ninetieth: The moon is dark and the wind is high in the night, killing and setting fire to the sky
Chang Le wandered around the enemy's barracks these two nights, and also saw what the wood cut back by these Goguryeo soldiers did. In this way, he naturally reported the situation in the enemy's barracks to Xuan Shijing as expected.
"Raft?" Xuan Shijing smiled after hearing Chang Le's words: "It seems that they have no idea, they want to cover the deep ditch in front of Beisha City directly."
"I'm afraid it's more than that. They came to attack Beisha City before. The siege equipment such as cloud ladders and wells were burned by us. If we still use these simple rafts, wouldn't we repeat the previous outcome?" Chang Le said: "In addition to these, they also found that they were collecting fresh soil in their camp. I think it was just to prevent us from burning all of their things with fire."
"According to this, it seems that they must start to act either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Xuan Shijing said: "Even the soil is ready and directly laid on the raft, then the deep ditch in front of our city wall has really become a decoration."
"What should we do?" Chang Le asked.
Xuan Shijing touched his chin and thought about it. Although the Goguryeo people were prepared so well, it was really time to come. They didn't pay any price when siegeing the city. How could it be possible to cross the deep ditch?
Even if they sent people to take the lead in laying the rafts and soil, the defenders on the city could also use huge rocks and bows to fight back.
However, it seems that the effect that can be achieved in this way is very small, with 7,000 people. Now, the one in Goguryeo is the most in short supply, which is people.
"Tonight, you will take two people to the enemy camp as usual." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "I have been repeating these days. I think the vigilance of those Goguryeo people is not as strong as it was at first. I find an opportunity to burn all their equipment and food. Without the equipment and food, the morale of those Goguryeo soldiers will definitely be greatly affected."
"Yes, Marquis." Chang Le responded. Anyway, what happened in the enemy's military camp in the past few days? Chang Le has been exploring almost the same.
Just as the marquis said, compared to the beginning, the Goguryeo soldiers had indeed less precautions last night, and their actions tonight were probably easier than before.
It has been several days since I had no rest during the day and couldn't sleep well at night. Even those Goguryeo soldiers could not stand it even if they were beaten.
Without equipment, it means that those Goguryeo soldiers had to re-made them if they wanted to attack Beisha City. Without food and grass, they could not stay outside Beisha City for a moment.
I have to say that Xuan Shijing calculated this point.
On Goguryeo, how to prevent the Tang army? Even if someone was sent to watch, how could those ordinary soldiers be able to resist such elusive skills as Chang Le? Moreover, Chang Le used gunpowder. As soon as the movement sounded, the soldiers in the entire camp would have to wake up even if they didn't want to wake up.
It was really exhausting to come here suddenly in the middle of the night.
So, Chang Le took Xuan Shijing's order, with gunpowder and two helpers, and then left Beisha City and groped into the camp of Goguryeo soldiers.
The moon is dark and windy at night, killing people and setting fire. The weather is good tonight. The sky is dark, with no stars or moon. Even if torches are lit in the Goguryeo military camp, the torches cannot illuminate the entire military camp...
The two helpers followed Chang Le's instructions and took fire notes and gunpowder to the places where food and equipment were stored.
The guards in the places where food and grass were stored were relatively strict. No matter who they were, they had to wait until the second half of the night to move, because in the second half of the night, it was the time when these guards were very relaxed. Moreover, there was no explosion in the first half of the night tonight, and the Goguryeo soldiers in the military camp could also let go of their minds and have a good sleep.
The more they slept, the more beneficial it would be for Changle and others.
The three of them found a hidden place at the same time, squatted down, and quietly waited for the opportunity.
In the dark night, time was lost bit by bit. In addition to the footsteps of the guards patrolling back and forth in the entire Goguryeo military camp, there were the shocking snoring sounds coming from the camp.
The three of them were very patient. They waited until the second half of the night, and the patrol guards began to yawn constantly, with a look of fatigue on their faces, and their walking steps gradually slowed down.
The time has come!
Chang Le led the way and entered the tent of the Goguryeo deputy general.
The deputy general's tent was larger than the tents that ordinary soldiers slept in. After Chang Le entered the tent, he began to grop at the bed with his hands and feet. After staying in the dark environment for a long time, his eyes naturally adapted. Moreover, there was a faint fire outside the tent, and Chang Le could only try his best to move forward.
The figure of the general appeared in his sight. At this moment, the general was still unaware of it, lying on his side on the bed, snoring sounded loudly.
Chang Le bent down and continued to walk towards the deputy general step by step, and walked to the bedside. Chang Le took out a dagger from his waist and stabbed straight into the deputy general's neck.
At the same time, outside the camp, the other two men also began to act. This time, the gunpowder was not to make them make a sound, but directly dismantled it and scattered it on the food and grass. Then the fire broke out and then a fire appeared in the military camp.
The guards in the military camp were already sleepy, but the sudden firelight shocked their bodies.
Very familiar.
Before I could think too much, the soldiers who were watching quickly ran towards the fire, and secretly shouted in their hearts.
That direction is the direction of storing food and grass in the military camp!
Everyone quickly took the wooden barrels and tubs, and began to fetch water to put out the fire. Then, a sound of gongs sounded from the military camp.
"It's time to leave! Put out the fire!"
But not long after the gong sounded, a fire that soared into the sky appeared on the other side of the military camp, which was where the siege equipment built by Goguryeo soldiers during the day were stored.
The time for setting fires was very clever. As soon as the firelight appeared on the other side of the grain and grass, everyone's attention was attracted by the fire of the grain and grass. People here used gunpowder and hay to ignite these wooden siege equipment.
The fire was ignited, and the two quickly evacuated the military camp and came to the agreed place to meet.
However, when they arrived at the agreed location, the two of them did not find any shadow of Chang Le.
"Mr. Chang?" One of them looked around, but he did not find Chang Le's shadow.
"I haven't seen it... Could it be that Lord Chang has not come out of the enemy camp?" The man quickly turned around and looked at the military camp.
