Chapter 1126: Siege (5)

Adou has always been resolute in his work, and he will act immediately on what he decides. No, as soon as he thought of a way, he immediately ordered a few jars of fierce fire oil to be thrown down at random under the darkness.

When the accompanying secret guards heard Adou's order, they were very hesitant, after all, Mao Wenlong had an order in advance, and this time he was only allowed to probe and not disturb the enemy.

"General, I'm afraid that the general soldier will be blamed for doing this afterwards......" The secret guard said to Adou.

"Don't worry about it, the chief soldier has me to explain." Adou didn't wait for the dark guard to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted them.

Seeing that Adou's words had come to this, these secret guards didn't dare to delay any longer, so they prepared a fierce fire oil jar, and after lighting the fire, they began to throw it indiscriminately into the dark city below.

"Bang ......"

A few crisp crackling sounds of jars suddenly exploded in the silent city, and then the flames rose into the sky, and suddenly illuminated the surroundings as bright as day.

Adou hurriedly looked down with a telescope, and he found that there was actually a yamen in the city below, and the fire was burning on the roof of a small two-story wooden building.

The sudden burst of fire soon disturbed the people in the yamen, and the cries for help suddenly came and went.

The yamen began to be in chaos, and the subordinates and the officials began to carry wooden barrels to fetch water to fight the fire, but the fire was on the roof, and it was not easy to put it out. Moreover, the source of the fire is fierce fire oil, even if it is extinguished with water, it is not easy to extinguish.

The Yamen suddenly caught fire, and soon it disturbed other parts of the city, and the defenders began to use it on the side of the Yamen. And in the end, as Adou expected, after the accident in the city, sporadic lights began to light up in the city.

Adou's face showed a smug look, and judging from the sporadic lights at the moment, he could almost tell the approximate arrangement of the enemy army.

As the commander of the Dark Guard Battalion, Adou has a lot of experience in reconnaissance, and judging from these circumstances, he can already know it in his heart. After Adou learned about the number of enemy troops and the arrangement, he was satisfied and ordered to return.

The hot air balloon quietly regained altitude, and then, under the cover of darkness, unconsciously returned to the sky above the camp of the Dongjiang Army. The chaos in Seoul continued, and when Dahler and Kim Hee-woong learned the news and rushed to the scene, Dahler suddenly felt a sense of inappropriateness in his heart.

He seriously suspected that this was deliberate on the part of the Dongjiang Army, and then after Dahler had seen the fire that had been extinguished. He found something familiar, the broken jars and the strong smell of fiery oil. At this point, Daller is 100% sure that this is what the Dongjiang Army did.

"Lieutenant Marshal, do you see anything?" Kim Hee-woong saw that Dahler was deep in thought, and after not saying a word for a long time, he opened his mouth to ask.

"Humph!"

Darle didn't explain, but snorted coldly, and then looked up at the dark sky above him.

At night, there were only stars in the sky, and nothing else could be seen. Kim Hee-woong learns to watch from Dahler, but he is soon disappointed and has nothing?

"Is the Dongjiang Army testing us?" Darle muttered suddenly.

Still without any explanation, Dahler coldly instructed Kim Hee-woong: "Let the city calm down as soon as possible, and no matter what happens in the future, no lights are allowed at night." If there is a disobedience, kill! ”

Kim Hee-woong was very angry at Dale's rudeness, but he still didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. After nodding slightly to show that he understood, he went to make arrangements on his own.

The small episode did not attract too much attention in the city, and even if he was as smart as Dale, after guessing that the fire was the work of the Dongjiang army, he did not think much about it elsewhere. After all, such a sabotage was not worth paying attention to at all, and there was no other action behind the Dongjiang Army, so the matter quickly subsided.

Adou returned to the camp of the Dongjiang Army safely and went to look for Mao Wenlong with a smile on his face.

The sky was already bright, and before Mao Wenlong got up, he got a huge report that Adou was already waiting outside.

"Let him in." Mao Wenlong said to Hao while getting dressed.

Haoda didn't say much, and after bowing, he withdrew from the big tent. A moment later, Adou entered on his own, and Mao Wenlong had already washed up, drinking the hot tea that the guards had just delivered.

"Well, looking at your smiling face, you must have gained something!" Mao Wenlong glanced up at Adou.

"Chief soldier, the subordinates lived up to expectations, although there were some accidents last night, fortunately, the subordinates still observed the approximate number of enemy troops." Adou responded with a chuckle.

"Oh, come and hear it!" Mao Wenlong suddenly became excited.

"Commander-in-chief, according to the observation of his subordinates, the current number of garrisons in Seoul should be more than 100,000. If you add the people in the city, then there should be about 200,000 people in Seoul at this moment. Adou already had the answer in his heart, and opened his mouth to speak.

Mao Wenlong fell into deep thought after hearing this, Adou didn't dare to open his mouth to disturb, just watched Mao Wenlong wait quietly.

After a long time, Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "It seems that we don't need to fight in Seoul at all." ”

Adou was stunned and asked, "What do you mean by the chief soldier?" ”

Mao Wenlong explained with a smile: "The small Seoul suddenly garrisoned more than 100,000 troops, and even if the food was hoarded before, it would definitely not be able to support it for too long. At most, at most, only a month, the food in the city will inevitably become tight. ”

Adou suddenly said: "The intention of the general army is to attack and break down, and we want to besiege the city without fighting?" ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said: "You can surrender without a fight, of course there is no need to fight again." ”

Mao Wenlong was aware of this problem from the beginning, so he asked Adou to take the risk to find out the situation. Now that everything is clear, it's time to act.

Without a moment's delay, Mao Wenlong ordered to gather all the generals in the army, and after some discussion in the big tent, he began to besiege the city.

The Dongjiang army also came in a hurry, and if they wanted to besiege the city, their own food would be insufficient. Fortunately, the food can be solved by Kim Jong-ri, and the Dongjiang Army can also continuously transport supplies from the sea, so these problems are not a problem!

The siege of the city did not fight, and the Dongjiang army put on such a posture, which made the enemy troops in the city very puzzled. A few days have passed, and the Dongjiang army has no intention of making a move, and the army has only surrounded Seoul, and has never made any moves to attack the city.

Dale and Kim Hee-woong would patrol the city walls for several days in a row, and they were equally puzzled by the Dongjiang Army's approach.

"Deputy Marshal, what do you say the Dongjiang Army is doing? A few days have passed, and they have not seen any siege of the city? Kim Hee-woong's face was full of confusion.
