At night.
There were bursts of strange noises coming from the dense forest.
Pu Duanchang hid among them wearing a straw hat.
Smelling the fragrant aroma of bone soup and swallowing my saliva.
Ning Que is really extravagant!
They eat so well while marching and fighting!
According to the spies' reports, Ning Que's march was not very fast. Apparently, having successfully captured Hansan City, he hadn't given Baekje City much thought, and he only brought about 20,000 men.
However, Park Duanchang thought it was normal.
There were still many Goguryeo captives in Hansan City.
Although they were captured, they were all loyal.
Then Ning Que must leave troops to guard it.
It is normal to bring only 20,000 people.
Ning Que now relies on kerosene.
So they didn't take Baekje City seriously.
"General Park, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, wait a little longer." Pu Duanchang sneered sinisterly and said disdainfully, "I used to think Ning Que was so powerful, but now it seems he's just so-so. He's so arrogant after just winning a battle. Look at the soldiers he led, each of them has very little energy. They can't compare to my Goguryeo elite!"
“That’s it!”
"They were able to eat meat because they captured Hansan City." A soldier nodded vigorously. "I heard that Dafeng is notorious for its excessive military spending. They are actually very poor and can't even afford a bite of meat on a regular basis. Just look at the way they wolf down their food. You can tell they're usually very weak."
"Yeah yeah!"
The corners of Park Duanchang's mouth twitched.
After all, he had been an envoy to Dafeng.
He knew very well how wealthy Dafeng was.
People can’t say they can eat meat every meal, but it’s okay.
At least you don’t have to worry about going hungry.
But Goguryeo was completely different...
Firstly, their rice seeds were not of good quality, and they did not know how to cultivate the land carefully. Their yield per mu was not as good as that of Dafeng. Moreover, there was very little land suitable for farming in Goguryeo. Combined with various factors, life was very tight.
If nothing else, you can tell by looking at their height.
The average height of Daebong is definitely higher than that of Goguryeo!
However, these are all lies of Goguryeo.
Just to make these people believe.
"Have you seen those earthenware jars?"
“I see!”
"There must be kerosene in here." Pu Duanchang narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Remember, our goal is to destroy the kerosene. As long as Ning Que doesn't have kerosene, it will be impossible to capture Baekje City. Moreover, we can also use kerosene to burn their food supplies. Without food, they are all finished!"
"We understand!"
Everyone tightened their bows.
There were also soldiers guarding the area where kerosene was stored.
There are three layers inside and three layers outside, it is quite tight.
So Park Duanchang judged that these were kerosene.
"Listen carefully."
"I'll lead a feint attack later to draw fire."
"Once they're mobilized, you'll attack the kerosene. Remember to use rockets and burn them all to bring justice to the soldiers who died in Hanshan City!"
"good!"
Park Duanchang looked up at the night sky.
"You all go back to your seats first."
"Wait until I make my move, then find a chance to shoot!"
"promise!"
Watching them disperse, Pu Duanchang breathed a sigh of relief. To say he wasn't worried would be a lie. After all, he only had about 2,000 men, and they were facing an army of 20,000. If they were surrounded, they would surely die.
But he couldn't help it...
The safety of Goguryeo was already at stake for Baekje City.
This is the last chance to break the deadlock.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Park Duanchang slowly raised his hand.
He took a deep breath and glanced into the distance.
“Shoot!!!”
Sharp arrows were shot from everywhere.
Then, they heard muffled groans and many people fell down.
"Enemy attack!"
“Enemy attack!!!”
The horn suddenly sounded.
Song Ci raised his longbow and shot at the dense forest.
Seeing so many Goguryeo captives lying in a pool of blood, he could hardly hide the smile on his face, because everything that happened was within Ning Que's expectations.
Ning Que said that the Goguryeo would definitely attack them at night, taking advantage of their fatigue and attacking their supply train. They would feint first, divert the soldiers guarding the supply train, and then look for an opportunity to attack the kerosene. By igniting the kerosene, they would burn the food and fodder as well.
A general who truly mastered strategy could not only mobilize his own army, but could even command the enemy. Clearly, Ning Que was such a commander!
Look... Ning Que got everything right!
So Ning Que only brought a can of kerosene, and the rest was all water. It was dark now, and it was impossible to tell at all. They would ignite the kerosene, but it would not spread at all.
But it was enough to fool the Goguryeo people.
"The enemy is in the east!"
"Everyone charge!"
Song Ci followed Ning Que's instructions, rushing forward with his men, his face filled with anxiety. Seeing this, Pu Duanchang almost laughed out loud. With only a dozen or so guarding the kerosene area, it would be too easy to deal with them.
As expected...
Young people are young people!
Become proud and complacent when you have a little achievement.
In the end, only a dozen people were left to guard such an important place.
He hid in the shadows.
Seeing Song Ci leading his men deep into the dense forest, he sneered.
Just wait, there are traps everywhere!
There will definitely be heavy casualties by then!
Park Duanchang stared at the earthen jar with cold eyes.
Soon, sharp arrows were shot out again.
