Li Xuanba came back with a thousand cavalry in great disappointment. He failed to capture Gao Jianwu, the leader of Goguryeo. Huang Zhixuan was not surprised by this, so he did not blame Li Xuanba, but comforted him with a few words.
After packing up all the wealth that could be taken away, burning all that could be burned, killing all those who should be killed, and arresting all those worthy of being taken away, Wang Junlin immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops from Pyongyang.
When they learned that the Sui army was about to withdraw from Pyongyang, the people in the city breathed a sigh of relief, and then burst into tears and thanked God that these murderous devils had finally left.
After staying in Pyongyang for two days and one night, despite the strict orders issued by Wang Junlin, in addition to nobles, officials, and soldiers, many innocent people still died in the city. As for how many innocent Goguryeo women were raped, how much money the princes and ordinary people had
Having been robbed, this number cannot be counted.
In short, these two days have been an extremely dark day in the lives of the people of Pyongyang.
Therefore, after learning the news of the Sui army's retreat, the people in the city were overjoyed. They originally thought that such a dark life would last for a long time.
But whether they were excited or celebrating, they naturally did not dare to be too public, at least before the Sui army retreated. They would hide at home and cover their mouths and laugh secretly, glad that these devils left and that they had saved their lives.
Damn, this kind of mental state definitely exists.
…
…
The army set off, hoisted their banners, and 10,000 light cavalry quietly left the city at dawn. Along the way, they could not go very fast because they were driven by a thousand carriages carrying gold, silver, and jewelry.
However, Wang Junlin did not return the same way, but left from the North City Gate and headed straight north. On the northern coastline of Goguryeo, there were naval warships waiting to meet them.
And if they go back south, they are likely to be blocked on the road by a large number of Goguryeo cavalry led by Yuan Taizuo.
After hearing the news, Yuan Taizuo came from Liaodong City in the west with 50,000 cavalry at full speed, but he was blocked by the Sashui River and could not move forward. The anxious Yuan Taizuo ordered a pontoon bridge to be built overnight and looked at the vast plain on the other side.
With the looming Pyongyang City, Yuan Taizuo was anxious, but he had no choice but to sigh sadly.
"Master Prime Minister, there is an urgent message from Pyongyang City. Wang Junlin has plundered a thousand carts of wealth and is heading north. The speed cannot be increased, so we still have a chance to catch up with them." A spy came from the other side in a small boat.
Report urgently to Yuan Taizuo.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Taizuo perked up and ordered: "Pass the order, the pontoon bridge must be erected tonight."
…
…
When Wang Junlin led his men to retreat north, Zhang Tiangang led his special force and disappeared.
The task Wang Junlin gave them was to use all means to delay the pursuing troops led by Yuan Taizuo.
On a grass-covered hill south of the Sashui River, Zhang Tiangang used a telescope to observe Yuan Taizuo's army camp.
Around him, far and near, were crawling hundreds of masters of the special operations team.
Each of them was lying down in the dense grass and trees, covered with a piece of yellow camouflage cloth, and some dry branches and leaves were inserted into the hats on their heads.
"My Lord, your guess is correct. The Goguryeo people would never have thought that we would attack them in turn, so although there are many of them, they are not very vigilant." Zhang Tiangang said with a sneer.
Next to Zhang Tiangang, a squad leader with a dark face and big ears touched a crossbow on his waist, then took out a sharp dagger and licked it repeatedly with his tongue. He looked like his hands were itchy. He licked his lips unwillingly.
He said: "Captain, there is a Goguryeo soldier in the forest on the right who ran to the edge to defecate. How about I go over and get him over and make sure that no sound is made."
This big-eared team leader was originally a martial artist in the foundation-building stage of the martial arts guild. He was very common in the martial arts guild. When the special forces team was recruiting more than five months ago, he was attracted by the team's generous treatment and joined the special forces team.
And successfully survived the inhuman training.
Before joining the martial arts guild, he wandered around the world. He had a fierce and tenacious temperament. He performed well during the training of the special brigade and became a squad leader.
Zhang Tiangang shook his head without hesitation and said: "The most important thing right now is to slow down the main force of the Goguryeo army. What's the use of killing one person? Besides, if you kill a person to scare the enemy, you ruin our mission, I will skin you alive."
The captain of the big-eared squad and the few next to him all showed disappointed looks. They were different from ordinary soldiers. Most of them had fierce temperaments. The harsh and inhumane training had long since worn away their original morals and personalities. Internal competitions and confrontations were far from enough to fully
To vent, now that I have the opportunity, I want to do something.
Zhang Tiangang looked at them for a while and finally said: "We will stay until dark and attack their food and grass as planned. Everyone must obey my orders. If anyone dares to take action without authorization, I will kill him personally."

Night, midnight, also known as mid-night or midnight, is the first hour among the twelve hours. It is also the time when human beings sleep the most.
Goguryeo's 50,000 cavalrymen came all the way in a hurry, and the food and grass were collected from nearby counties, towns and villages under Yuan Taizuo's order.
With the defeat of the Sui Emperor's million-strong army, Yuan Taizuo, who was already in power, was now even more powerful in Goguryeo. No one in the local officials dared to neglect. No matter how hard they searched, they collected enough food and grass and delivered it on time.
.
These grains and fodder are concentrated on the west side of the camp.
At this moment, a group of ghostly uninvited guests arrived in the camp where food and grass were placed.
It has to be said that although the Goguryeo army escorted the grain and grass team without much vigilance, basic sentries were still dispatched. Even the outer sentries were deployed on two levels. There were also mobile sentries in the camp. The layout of the camp was also very reasonable. The grain and grass were in
In the middle, there are camping tents for the army guarding the food and grass. Surrounding it are the tents.
However, all this is nothing in front of this group of special operations team members who are no longer ordinary soldiers.
A total of seventy-three sentries in the outer two layers of cordon were silently covered with their mouths and throats cut without making any sound. In the end, there were not many members of the special forces team that sneaked into the camp, only twenty-one people. However, these two
The eleven are the twenty-one members of the Special Forces who are the most outstanding in night walking. They are all wearing special night clothes, which will not reflect the slightest under the moonlight. Each one has a backpack, which contains the information they need to complete the mission.
Key items.
Soon all the Goguryeo mobile sentries died silently. The twenty-one people successfully sneaked into the center of the camp where the food and grass were piled. They quickly opened their backpacks, took out the fuel packs from inside, and then fell to the ground one after another.
On more than a hundred grain and grass carts, each person placed a gunpowder bag in a place where the fire could not reach them for a while.
