Turbulent Times Chapter 1145: Special guerrilla warfare
"Enemy Attack!"
"It's on fire."
"It's over, all the food and grass are on fire."
When the 12 special forces masters left quietly and quickly to the edge of the camp where the Goguryeo people put the grain and grass, the fire on the more than one hundred grain and grass trucks was already very big, and finally alarmed the Goguryeo army. Some ran out, some officers shouted to put out the fire, some shouted to kill the enemy, and some ran around without a head.
However, generally speaking, the Goguryeo army reacted very quickly, and they also brought some fire-fighting tools with them. The officers who led the team were also very effective in organizing. Some were guarding the periphery, but most of them were fighting fires. However, when they rushed forward to fight the fire, more than a dozen gunpowder packs hidden in the grain and grass exploded.
These dozens of gunpowder bags are the largest gunpowder bags produced on Snake Island, weighing twenty-five catties. One can imagine the power of the explosion.
The final result was that nearly a thousand Goguryeo soldiers who participated in the fire fighting were killed and hundreds were injured.

After attacking the grain and grass accompanying the Goguryeo army, Zhang Tiangang quickly went to the nearest Pingdong County as planned.
Because Pingdong County is the food distribution station set by Yuan Taizuo, the food and grass for the 50,000 cavalry from all over Goguryeo must be sent here first, and the 3,000 cavalry sent by Yuan Taizuo will be responsible for sending it to Yuan The army led by Tai Zuo. After all, Yuan Taizuo's cavalry had been on the move after crossing the river, and it was hard to find teams for delivering grain and grass in various counties.
So, this place has become the largest grain supply station for the Goguryeo army. For the same reason, this is also the second goal of the Special Forces.
With the cooperation of Shen Guoer's secret agents, Zhang Tiangang sneaked into Pingdong County with a group of master elites under his command.
This grain and grass transfer station is extremely tightly protected by the 3,000 elite Goguryeo army. There are as many as a hundred sentries at night. In addition, there are official warehouses in the county, and the construction is extremely strong. The doors are all iron doors and locked. After that, it's hard to break open.
Even if Zhang Tiangang broke through the iron gate with the sword bestowed on him by Nie Xiaoyu himself, the guarding Goguryeo army would be alarmed, and subsequent destruction would be difficult.
However, in addition to the iron gate, the official warehouse also has iron windows, but when designing the official warehouse at that time, it was considered that someone would sneak in. The windows are not only four or five feet high, but also very small. Children up to seven or eight years old can pass through, but adults cannot enter.
However, there are all kinds of talents in the special forces team. One is a master recruited from the martial arts guild. The force of the grappling hook climbed up the window and got in.

After destroying two food and grass in succession, in the next two days, Zhang Tiangang led the special forces to attack again at night and twice during the day, beheading nearly 500 people in total, but also damaged 17 people. Slowed down the speed of the Goguryeo army.
According to Wang Junlin's instructions, Zhang Tiangang mainly used sneak attacks and harassment to kill the morale of the Goguryeo army and make the Goguryeo army exhausted.
You must know that the 50,000 Goguryeo cavalry followed Yuan Taizuo to the west of the Liao River when the Sui Emperor Yang Guang led the army to invade. Now they have been fighting for four or five months. Fatigue, coupled with the fact that even if the Goguryeo army is in the country, they don't have much food and grass in their hands. It can be said that the soldiers and horses are not full and cannot rest well.
According to Wang Junlin's analysis and estimation of Zhang Tiangang, in this state, the morale of the Goguryeo army could not be maintained for a few days at the beginning because they wanted to focus on revenge.
When the Goguryeo army was physically and mentally exhausted, Wang Junlin also prepared another big gift for Yuan Tae-joo.
Compared to the mountains in the south of Goguryeo, the north is flat. So in the wilderness, even an army of 50,000 can be deployed. But all gathered together, it is not convenient to travel along the way, and to raise food and grass in the passing villages and counties, so Yuan Taizuo divided the army into two groups with 20,000 and 30,000 troops respectively, with an interval of 30 miles between each other. Left and right, if there is a war, they can support each other within an hour.

August 1st, northeast of Pyongyang City, Sui army camp in Bacang County.
Wang Junlin, Luo Shixin, Li Xuanba, Yuchi Jingde, and those who just came from Silla
There is a map of Goguryeo in front of Shen Guoer.
Shen Guoer pointed to the map and said: "We are now in Beicang County of Goguryeo. There are three counties under our rule, because it borders Silla Kingdom, and there are four military forts, but it is not a simple military stronghold. , there are also people in villages and towns under the rule, and there are also merchants and residents in the fort. Strictly speaking, there is no difference between the counties under the jurisdiction of the county. If Yuan Taizuo wants to catch up with us, the shortest route must go through Yanghe County, Sanli Fort, and Heiyang County. We can only come to where we are now.”
"According to the order of the adults, Captain Zhang led the special forces to harass along the way and carry out sneak attacks according to the situation, which can keep the nerves of the soldiers of the Goguryeo army in a state of high tension from time to time. There are more than 400 spies under my command. , Each person carries ten landmines, and will plant the mines before the arrival of the Goguryeo army after determining the marching route of the Goguryeo army. The Goguryeo army will drive away sick horses and bring them from Liaodong City after some people die. Sui army prisoners explore the way, but the speed will inevitably be slowed down a lot. In this way, we will have enough time to make various arrangements on the way forward."
Wang Junlin nodded and said, "Where is the army of Silla now?"
Shen Guo'er immediately said: "My lord, Silla has gathered 30,000 cavalry and stationed at the border. It is more than two hundred miles away from here, and it can be reached within a day by running hard."
"Where are the people of Baekje now?" Wang Junlin asked again.
"My lord, I just received news from Baekje that they also dispatched 30,000 cavalry. Borrow them, so it is more than three hundred miles away from here."

Boom!
There was an earth-shattering explosion.
Twenty miles to the north of Yanghe County, Yuan Taizuo heard the explosion again, and his face was very ugly. It is not known how many landmines he stepped on.
"Drive those **** Sui army prisoners to the front to explore the way." Yuan Taizuo ordered angrily.
"Prime Minister, the Sui army captives we brought from Liaodong City are only 2,000, and they are almost exhausted now. If we persist for less than a hundred miles at most, I am afraid they will be exhausted."
