This man in Tsing Yi is probably fifteen or sixteen years old, and he has good features. If he is caught by the gangsters, there is no guarantee that he will not be bought into a brothel.
However, if you look closely at his expression, you will find that there is a cold smile on this man's face, and there is a ferocious smile in it. In addition, this man also holds a waist knife in his hand.
Such a young man does not look like a kind person.
When I meet someone, I can’t tell who the bad guy is!
At this time, he looked at the Ming army in front and murmured: "I have to go back and report to General Chen quickly. When the time comes, I will bring the general and the others over and kill all these Ming troops. Hehe, I won't be able to tell the boss."
You can reward me with a little lady!"
It seemed that he thought that he would get a charming and beautiful lady in the future, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
Soon after, Butcher Chen, who was in charge of outpost affairs, learned about the Ming army’s traces from this young man’s mouth!
After Butcher Chen inquired about the news in detail, he brought the young man in Tsing Yi to Li Xuan, Fang Dongquan and others.
Li Xuan once again asked personally:
"A lone Ming army? How many people are there? Are they ordinary young men or regular soldiers?" Li Xuan asked with a calm expression, but a little excited inside.
The young man in green said: "There are only more than sixty of them, but these Ming troops are not the young and strong people who were recruited to make up the numbers. They are all wearing military uniforms only for officers and soldiers!"
"That's the regular army!" Li Xuan said: "Why do these regular armies appear here? Is their main force nearby?"
The young man in Tsing Yi shook his head and said: "The young man found no trace of other Ming troops nearby!"
Li Xuan nodded after hearing this, and nodded towards the young man in Tsing Yi: "Very good, you did a good job, what's your name?"
When the young man in Tsing Yi heard this, he immediately looked happy and said: "The younger one's name is Jiang Tang!"
Ginger soup? This name is weird, but Li Xuan is no exception. There are many names these days. It’s not surprising that people use cold-proof ginger soup as their name. At least it sounds much better than cow, dog, etc.
.
Immediately Li Xuan said: "Our Tang Dynasty has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Today you Jiang Tang have made great achievements. I will grant you the title of a hundred households. I hope you will make great achievements again in the future!"
After Jiang Tang heard this, he immediately knelt down with a look of ecstasy on his face: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for the reward!
Liu Bagou on the side looked at Jiang Tang and shook his head secretly. After all, he was a rude warrior. He didn't even know that he called himself a minister. At this time, he even called himself a villain.
But now Liu Bagou is too lazy to talk to a small person like Jiang Tang. At this time, he has already come out: "Your Majesty, since we have found traces of the enemy, we should find out the situation and attack them!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at Butcher Chen and said, "Let your men continue to monitor the Ming army. If there are any changes, report them immediately!"
Then he turned to Fang Dongquan: "You immediately send people to search nearby. I want to know whether the main force of the Ming army is nearby!"
Butcher Chen and Fang Dongquan said one after another: "I accept the decree!"
Immediately, they each strode out, preparing to send more spies out to monitor the movements of the Ming army that had appeared, and at the same time search for the presence of the main force of the Ming army nearby!
At this time, Li Xuan had already asked the main bandits in Huangzhu Mountain to prepare for battle. The soldiers hurriedly had lunch in advance to build up enough energy to prepare for battle at any time.
Li Xuan knew that the Ming troops who entered the mountain this time were not all regular troops, but more than half were young civilians brought in. There were only about a thousand regular troops in military uniforms. Logically speaking, these regular troops were the main force.
It is unlikely to appear alone.
This is just like the main forces of the Tang Dynasty are gathered together. They will never be easily divided unless it is absolutely necessary.
That's why Li Xuan was worried that this Ming army was just the forward or flanking force of the Ming army, and there was the main force of the Ming army nearby.
If they encounter the main force of the Ming army, they don't need to do anything, needless to say, just turn around and leave!
But if what they encounter is just a lone Ming army, then Li Xuan will be rude!
However, at this time, Li Xuan and the others still failed to realize that the Ming army they encountered was not a vanguard, or even a partial division advancing in separate directions. These Ming troops were actually just looking for the direction of Huangzhu Mountain. Although their numbers were
A little more, but in terms of the nature of their mission, they are still just spies.
Moreover, Li Xuan and the others didn't know that what they encountered were not guardsmen, but recruits from Fucheng!
Time passed bit by bit, and the spies sent out kept reporting back news!
"The enemy troops in front are in the northeast of us. Now they are heading east. They are still five miles away from us!"
"The spies sent to the west reported that the main force of the Ming army was not found in the west!"
As the spies sent out one by one reported back one after another, Li Xuan and the others finally confirmed one thing. They really encountered a lone Ming army!
A Ming army with only more than 60 troops!
Since this is the case, what else is there to say? In the words of Butcher Chen: Fuck you!
Naturally, Li Xuan would not give up this opportunity. The total number of Ming troops who entered the mountain was only so many, and the main force among them was only half a thousand people. If the more than 60 people in front of him were killed, the Ming army could be weakened.
the power of.
If you are lucky enough in the future and defeat a small Ming army today, another one tomorrow, and another one the day after tomorrow, who will dare to say that they cannot defeat the Ming army?
As for whether the Ming army would be so stupid and keep dividing their troops, Li Xuan didn't know. Anyway, Li Xuan himself didn't need money for such fantasies.
This situation is so tragic, you have to give yourself some hope!
The lone Ming army in front of him gave Li Xuan hope of victory. Although the hope was slim, he still saw it!
So Li Xuan gave the battle order without hesitation: "Send the order, prepare the whole army for war, and take down this partial division of the Ming army!"
As he spoke, he thought for a moment, and then said: "In this battle, the Guards will be the vanguard, and the standing army will hold the line!"
There was nothing wrong with Li Xuan's first sentence, but the second sentence used the Guards as the vanguard, which made Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren and others look worried.
Even Tufu Chen, Bai Yunqi and the others had worried expressions on their faces. These generals looked at me, and I looked at you. Finally, under the pressure of everyone's eyes, Fang Dongquan bravely stepped out and said: "Qi Qi
Your Majesty, the Guards are the emperor's personal army and shoulder the important task of protecting the Holy Emperor. It is better to let the ministers lead the standing army to fight, and we will surely achieve a great victory for your Majesty!"
Fang Dongquan said this, and even the worries expressed by other generals were not really worried about Li Xuan's safety, nor were they motivated by a struggle for power, but that they did not trust the young men of the Guards from the bottom of their hearts.
.
How could it be possible to let these half-grown men lead the battle, and these young and strong bandits hold the battle at the back? Not to mention whether these half-grown men could fight, if the losses were too great, they would have to cry to death.
You know, those half-grown men in the Guards didn't just come out of the rocks. Most of them are the nephews of young bandits.
Fathers, uncles, uncles and other elders are in the standing army, while nephews are in the Guards!
Li Xuan was willing to let the young men of the Guards go into battle and die, but they were not willing to do so!
At this time, Butcher Chen couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "How can those little brats in the Guards fight? We have to fight in this battle!"
Butcher Chen was also worried. His only nephew was serving in the Guards. His old Chen family was almost wiped out last year, and only he and his nephew escaped.
His nephew is not only the remaining bloodline of his eldest brother, but also the only bloodline of the next generation of his Chen family. If something unexpected happens, how can he face the ancestors of the Chen family? When the time comes, he
The dead father had to climb out of the grave with a butcher knife and chop him.
But Li Xuan waved his hand and said in a very strong tone: "I have made up my mind!"
Then he turned his attention to Wang Danxu and said, "The Guards will definitely not disappoint me!"
Wang Danxu had already felt dissatisfied when he saw Fang Dongquan and the others' worries and doubts.
Wang Danxu is also a bandit who cannot read or know much, but he is a bandit with ideals. He has been training the Guards with Li Xuan for more than half a year. He has been brainwashed by Li Xuan and thinks that a strong army is possible.
There are only two standards: strict military discipline and neat formation!
If there were muskets like Li Xuan's that could be fired without a match rope, then this kind of army would be able to sweep the world!
So he said in a confident tone: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely offer the head of the enemy leader to your Majesty!"
After that, he turned to the other generals and said: "Comrades in the standing army, don't worry, our Guards have been training hard for more than half a year, and we have been waiting for this day, and we will never let you down!"
With that said, he strode outside, and then walked to the queue of the Guards: "My sons and daughters of the Guards, Your Majesty has decreed that our Guards will be the vanguard in this battle!"
Then he shouted again: "The Guards are invincible."
When Wang Danxu said this, others thought that the young men in the Guards would make a lot of noise. Whether their morale was greatly increased or morale was low, they would definitely react. However, what surprised Fang Dongquan and the others was that the entire Guards
Everyone in the guard seemed to have not heard Wang Danxu's words. No one spoke and remained quiet.
Others may just feel strange, but Zeng Ziyun on the side was extremely shocked when he saw this scene!
When the army went out, Li Xuan took Zeng Ziyun with him. Li Xuan was not sure what the use of taking him with him, but after all, he was a member of the fifth rank of the Ming Army. It was better to take him with him than without him.
There's no telling when it will be available.
Although Zeng Ziyun is young, he comes from a family of generals and knows a lot about the military. He knows very well that when an army hears that it is about to go on an expedition and is even selected as a forward, its expression remains unchanged, and there is not even the slightest noise.
What.
This means that their military discipline has reached a quite terrifying level!
