When the twelve special force masters quietly and quickly left the edge of the camp where the Goguryeo people kept food and grass, more than a hundred food and grass trucks were already on fire, finally alerting the Goguryeo army, and countless Goguryeo soldiers ran away in disheveled clothes.
When they came out, there were officers shouting to put out the fire, some shouting to kill the enemy, and some headless blue wings running around.
However, in general, the Goguryeo army responded quickly. They also brought certain fire-fighting tools with them, and the officers leading the team were also very organized. Some were on guard at the periphery, but most of them were putting out fires. However, just as they rushed forward
When we went to put out the fire, more than a dozen gunpowder packets hidden in the food and grass exploded.
These dozen gunpowder bags are the largest types of gunpowder bags produced on Snake Island, weighing 25 kilograms. You can imagine the power of the explosion.
The final result was that nearly a thousand Goguryeo soldiers who participated in fighting the fire were killed and hundreds more were injured. The most important thing was that more than a hundred vehicles of food and grass were burned to ashes.

After attacking the grain and grass accompanying the Goguryeo army, Zhang Tiangang quickly headed to the nearest Pingdong County as planned.
Because Pingdong County is the food and grass relay station designated by Yuan Taizuo, the food and grass supplied to the 50,000 cavalry from all over Goguryeo must be sent here first. The three thousand cavalry sent by Yuan Taizuo will be responsible for it and then sent to Yuan Taizuo's leadership.
After all, Yuan Taizuo's cavalry was always on the move after crossing the river. It was not easy to find teams delivering grain and grass from various counties.
Therefore, this place has become the largest food and grass supply station for the Goguryeo army. By the same token, this place is also the second target of the special forces.
With the cooperation of Shen Guoer's secret agents, Zhang Tiangang sneaked into Pingdong County with a group of elite masters under his command.
This grain and grass transfer station was extremely tightly protected by the three thousand elite troops of Goguryeo. There were as many as a hundred sentries roaming at night. In addition, there were already official warehouses in the county, and the buildings were extremely strong. The doors were all iron gates. After they were locked, it was very difficult to
Difficult to break.
Even if Zhang Tiangang took action himself and used the sword given to him by Nie Xiaoyu to break open the iron gate, it would definitely alert the guarding Goguryeo army and make subsequent destruction difficult.
However, in addition to the iron doors, the official warehouse also has iron windows. However, when the official warehouse was designed at that time, it was considered that people would sneak in. The windows are not only four to five feet high, but also very small. Not to mention whether you can climb up, they are seven or eight at most.
Children as young as 20 years old can pass through, but adults cannot enter.
However, the talents in the special forces team can be said to be diverse. One of them was a master recruited from the martial arts guild. He was originally a figure in the world, and he happened to practice bone shrinking skills. Zhang Tiangang sent him with a large bag of special fuel to use the grappling hook.
Li climbed up the window and got in.

After destroying two places of food and grass in succession, in the next two days, Zhang Tiangang led the special forces to conduct another night attack and two daytime sneak attacks, killing nearly 500 people in total, but also losing 17 people, successfully slowing down the attack.
The speed of the Goguryeo army.
According to Wang Junlin's instructions, Zhang Tiangang mainly used sneak attacks and harassment to kill the fighting spirit and morale of the Goguryeo army, making the Goguryeo army tired to deal with it.
You must know that these 50,000 Goguryeo cavalrymen followed Yuan Taizuo to the west of the Liao River when Sui Emperor Yang Guang led the invasion. They have been fighting for four or five months now. They are physically and mentally exhausted.
In addition, even if the Goguryeo army is currently in the country, it does not have much food and grass in its hands. It can be said that both the people and the horses are not eating enough and not getting enough rest.
According to Wang Junlin's analysis and estimation of Zhang Tiangang, in this state, the morale of the Goguryeo army, which was initially maintained because of its single-minded revenge, could not last more than a few days.
When the Goguryeo army was exhausted physically and mentally, Wang Junlin prepared another great gift for Yuan Taizuo.
Compared with Goguryeo, the south is more mountainous, but the north is flat. Therefore, even an army of 50,000 can be deployed in the wilderness. But if they are all gathered together, it is not convenient to travel along the way, and it is difficult to raise funds in the villages, towns and counties passing by. Therefore, Yuan Taizuo divided his army into two lines with 20,000 and 30,000 troops respectively, with a distance of about thirty miles between each other. If there was a war, they could support each other within an hour.

On August 1st, the Sui army camp was located in Beicang County, northeast of Pyongyang City.
Wang Junlin, Luo Shixin, Li Xuanba, Yuchi Jingde, and Shen Guoer, who had just arrived from Silla Kingdom, had a map of Goguryeo spread out in front of them.
Shen Guoer pointed to the map and said: "We are now in Beicang County, Goguryeo. There are three counties under our rule. Because it borders the Silla Kingdom, there are also four military forts. However, they are not just military fortresses. There are three counties under our rule. There are also people from villages and towns, and there are traders and residents in the fort. Strictly speaking, there is no difference from the counties under the jurisdiction of the county. If Yuan Taizuo wants to catch up with us, the shortest route must pass through Yanghe County, Sanlibao, and Heiyang County. , to get to where we are now.”
"According to your orders, Captain Zhang led the special forces to conduct harassment along the way, and carried out sneak attacks according to the situation, which kept the nerves of the Goguryeo army soldiers in a highly tense state at all times. I also had more than 400 spies under my command, each of whom was sent out. Carrying ten landmines on his body, he will lay the mines before the Goguryeo army arrives after determining the march route of the Goguryeo army. The Goguryeo army will probably drive away the sick horses and the Sui army brought from Liaodong City after some people died. The prisoners will explore the road, but the speed will inevitably be slowed down a lot. In this way, we will have enough time to make various arrangements on the road ahead."
Wang Junlin nodded and said, "Where is the army of Silla Kingdom now?"
Shen Guoer immediately said: "Reporting to your lord, the Silla Kingdom has gathered 30,000 cavalry and is stationed at the border. It is more than two hundred miles away from here. It can be reached in one day by running at full speed."
"Where are the people of Baekje now?" Wang Junlin asked again.
"Replying to your lord, I have just received news from Baekje Kingdom. They have also dispatched 30,000 cavalry. However, they do not believe in Silla Kingdom and are not willing to pass by Silla Kingdom, and Silla Kingdom is not willing to lend them a loan. Tao, so it’s more than three hundred miles away from here.”

"boom!"
There was an earth-shattering explosion.
Twenty miles north of Yanghe County, Yuan Taizuo heard the explosion again, and his face was extremely ugly. It was no longer known how many landmines he had stepped on.
"Drive those damn Sui prisoners to the front to explore the way." Yuan Taizuo ordered angrily.
"Master Prime Minister, the Sui army prisoners we brought from Liaodong City are only 2,000. Now they are almost used up. If we can't hold on for a hundred miles at most, they will be used up."
