Chapter 1145: Special Guerrilla Warfare
"Enemy attack!"
"It's on fire."
"It's over, all the grain and grass are on fire."
When the twelve masters of the special combat team quietly and quickly left the edge of the camp where the Goguryeo people put grain and grass, the fire on more than 100 grain and grass trucks was already very large, and finally alarmed the Goguryeo army.
However, on the whole, the Goguryeo army still reacted quickly, and the accompanying army also brought certain firefighting tools, and the officers who led the team were also very effectively organized, some of them were on guard on the perimeter, but most of them were fighting fires. However, just as they rushed forward to put out the fire, more than a dozen gunpowder packets hidden in the grain and grass exploded.
These dozen gunpowder packets are the largest gunpowder packs produced on Snake Island, weighing twenty-five pounds. You can imagine the power of the explosion.
The final result was that nearly 1,000 Goguryeo soldiers involved in the firefighting were killed, hundreds were injured, and most importantly, more than 100 truckloads of grain and grass were burned to ashes.

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 middle station of grain and grass set by Yuan Taizuo, the grain and grass supplied to these 50,000 cavalry from all over Goguryeo must be sent here first, and the 3,000 cavalry sent by Yuan Taizuo are responsible for sending it to the army led by Yuan Taizuo. After all, Yuan Taizuo's cavalry has been on the move since they crossed the river, and it is not easy to find teams from various counties to deliver grain and grass.
Therefore, it has become the largest grain and grass supply station for the Goguryeo army. In the same way, this is also the second goal of the special combat team.
With the cooperation of Shen Guoer's secret spies, Zhang Tiangang sneaked into Pingdong County with a group of master elites under his command.
This grain and grass transfer station was extremely well protected by the 3,000 elites of the Goguryeo army, and there were as many as 100 sentries traveling at night.
Even if Zhang Tiangang personally broke through the iron gate with the sword that Nie Xiaoyu rewarded him, it would inevitably alarm the Goguryeo army guarding it, and the subsequent destruction would be difficult to continue.
However, in addition to the iron gate, there are iron windows in the official warehouse, but when the official warehouse was designed, it was taken into account that someone would sneak in, and the windows were not only located four or five zhang high, but also very small, not to mention whether they could climb up, at most seven or eight years old children could pass through, and adults could not enter.
However, the talents in the special combat team can be described as varied, there is a master recruited from the martial arts guild, who was originally a figure in the rivers and lakes, and he happened to practice the ability to shrink bones, Zhang Tiangang sent him with a large bag of special fuel, climbed up the window with the power of a grappling hook, and got in.

After destroying two grain and grass in succession, in the next two days, Zhang Tiangang led the special combat team to attack again at night, and attacked twice during the day, killing nearly 500 people in total, but also losing 17 people, successfully slowing down the speed of the Goguryeo army.
According to Wang Junlin's instructions, Zhang Tiangang mainly adopted the combat methods of sneak attack and harassment to wear down the morale of the Goguryeo army and make the Goguryeo army tired of coping.
You must know that these 50,000 Goguryeo cavalry from the very beginning of the Sui Emperor Yang Guang led the army to invade, followed Yuan Taizuo to the west of the Liao River, and now it has been fighting for four or five months, which can be described as physically and mentally exhausted, plus the current Goguryeo army even in the country, there is not much grain and grass in their hands, it can be said that the people and horses are not full of food and rest.
According to Wang Junlin's analysis of Zhang Tiangang, in this state, the morale of the Goguryeo army at the beginning could not be maintained for a few days because it was bent on revenge.
And when the Goguryeo army was physically and mentally exhausted, Wang Junlin also prepared another big gift for Yuan Taizuo.
Compared to Goguryeo, the south is mountainous, but the north is a flat river. So in the wilderness, even an army of 50,000 can be deployed. However, it was not convenient for them to travel along the way, and they collected grain and grass in the villages, towns and counties they passed, so Yuan Taizuo divided his army into two roads with 20,000 and 30,000 troops respectively, about 30 miles apart from each other, and if there was a war, they could support each other within an hour.

On August 1, northeast of Pyongyang, the Sui army camp in Beicang County.
Wang Junlin, Luo Shixin, Li Xuanba, Yu Chi Jingde, and Shen Guo'er, who had just arrived from Silla, lay out a map of Goguryeo in front of them.
Shen Guo'er pointed to the map and said: "We are now in Beicang County of Goguryeo, and there are three counties under its rule, because it borders on the Silla State, and there are four military forts, but it is not a simple military village, there are also people in villages and towns under its rule, and there are also merchants and residents in the fort, which is strictly no different from the counties under the jurisdiction of the county." If Yuan Taizuo wants to catch up with us, the shortest route will also pass through Yanghe County, Sanlipu, and Heiyang County in order to get to where we are now. ”
"According to the orders of the adults, Captain Zhang led the special combat team to harass along the way, and carried 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 at all times. I also had more than 400 spies under my command, each carrying ten mines, and they would lay mines before the arrival of the Goguryeo army when the route of the Goguryeo army was determined, and the Goguryeo army would drive the sick horses and Sui prisoners brought from Liaodong City to explore the way after some people died, but the speed would inevitably be slowed down a lot. This gives us plenty of time to make arrangements along the way. ”
Wang Junlin nodded and said, "Where is the army of Silla now?" ”
Shen Guo'er immediately said: "Lord Hui, the Silla Kingdom has gathered 30,000 cavalry and stationed it on the border, which is more than two hundred miles away from here, and it can be reached within a day of running with all your might. ”
"Where are the centaurs of Baekje now?" Wang Junlin asked again.
"Lord Huiyu, I just received news from Baekje that they also sent 30,000 cavalry, but they don't believe in Silla and are unwilling to borrow from Silla, and Silla is not willing to borrow from them, so it is more than 300 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, he didn't know how many mines he had stepped on.
"Drive those damned Sui captives to the front and explore the way." Yuan Taizuo ordered angrily.
"Prime Minister, the Sui army prisoners we brought from Liaodong City are only two thousand, and now they are about to be consumed, and if they last less than a hundred miles at most, I am afraid they will be exhausted."
