Chapter 20 The Royal Expedition

Li Xuan looked at them with a stern face at this time: "Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, I don't worry if I don't see the situation clearly. Besides, the three of you are heroes. How can you bear to stay behind and watch the show while a group of old and weak come forward to fight?

?”

"There are also your family members in the village. If you don't go into battle to kill the enemy and protect your family members, how long will it take?"

The three bandits who shoulder the responsibility of protection and surveillance beside him are all tall and strong, with strong muscles. The waist knives in their hands are also sophisticated weapons. At a glance, you can tell that such people are old bandits and have absolute fighting ability.

It won't be bad.

Otherwise Fang Dongquan would not have let them protect and monitor Li Xuan.

If there really is a fight at the front, with the help of these three people, the situation will change a lot.

Don't think that there are only three of them and they can't change the situation of the battle or anything.

But in fact, even if it is a battle between regular armies, only a very small number of them can actually fight, such as personal soldiers.

Even in modern times, there are large-scale battles between tens of thousands of people. In fact, it is only a few hundred elite soldiers from both sides who fight and decide the outcome. As for tens of thousands of people, they are just waving flags and shouting and fighting.

Just fighting with the wind.

Once the few hundred elite soldiers who serve as the backbone of a certain side are all dead, the remaining tens of thousands of troops will definitely disperse in one fell swoop.

This is also the fundamental reason why in ancient armies, the army's casualty rate was very low, only a few percentage points, and rarely more than 10%, because the soldiers who suffered casualties of less than 10% were this army.

The absolute backbone of the army is the only people who can fight.

They are all dead, how can the remaining rabble not run away?

For example, a few days ago, when Magistrate Zhengtai led the county warriors to launch a night attack, there was a whole night of commotion, but the officers and soldiers did not dare to launch a second attack. Why? Because among the hundreds of county warriors, there are not many people who are really brave enough to fight.

There were only a dozen of them. When these people attacked for the first time, because they advanced rashly, the bandits under Fang Dongquan's command used bows and arrows to kill one of the dozen people who dared to fight, and injured several others. As a result, those county warriors turned around in a swarm.

escaped.

Therefore, whether these elite bandits around Li Xuan participate in the battle is not a trivial matter, but a major matter that can affect the outcome of the battle ahead.

Seeing the determination on Li Xuan's face, the three bandits also looked at each other, and then one of them took a deep breath and said: "Young men, listen to your majesty!"

At this moment, Mrs. Bai came forward: "The front is so dangerous, Xuan'er, don't go there!"

Li Xuan shook his head; "Don't worry, mother, the child will not come close to Tai Qian!"

But that's what he said, but in fact his true thoughts were not.

The reason why he wanted to go and take a look was, on the one hand, to take a few of his guards to resist the enemy and increase the chance of victory, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see what the war was like these days.

In addition, another very important point is that he is tired of constantly running away.

He had only been in this time and space for a total of just over half a month, but nearly half of this half month was spent on the road to escape, and this situation made him deeply tired.

If there was really no other way, he would rather get it over with and die directly on the battlefield than be chased like a dog by officers and soldiers, and then die in the wilderness.

To a certain extent, he now has the idea of ​​breaking the jar!

After being depressed for half a month, he desperately wanted to change his destiny. Even if he died, he still wanted to control his destiny.

Maybe after death, I can return to modern times.

He is very afraid of death, but sometimes death is not the most fearful thing. What really scares him is being unable to decide his own destiny, and finally dying in despair and pain.

He was unwilling to continue trying this feeling of despair!

Perhaps seeing the determination in Li Xuan's eyes, Mrs. Bai suddenly sighed, and then said: "Since you want to go, go ahead, remember to be careful!"

At this time, Dong Yunyun on the side also said: "Be more careful when you go here!"

Li Xuan didn't know why Dong Yunyun said that. Maybe his concern for her in the past two days made her fall in love with him. Maybe she just said it casually, maybe it was something else.

But Li Xuan no longer cared. He nodded and said no more. Instead, he turned to the three guards beside him and said, "Let's go!"

When Li Xuan led these three people to catch up with Liu Bagou and other large groups, both Liu Bagou and Bai Yunqi looked incomprehensible.

Liu Bagou even said: "Your Majesty, think twice, the military war is extremely dangerous. Your Majesty is rich in gold, how can you be easily involved in danger!"

When he said this, Liu Bagou had a righteous look on his face: "There are just a small group of rebels and thieves in front of us. I can just lead the heavenly troops to resist them. Your Majesty, please go back to the palace and wait for the news!"

Bai Yunqi also said: "Yes, the front is so dangerous, it's okay as long as we are there. Your Majesty, you'd better go back!"

But at this time, Li Xuan's face straightened: "Can I be your king?"

This is to ask, do you still regard me as the emperor? If other people heard this, they would probably laugh, "What kind of emperor do you think you are? They are just teasing you by making you the emperor."

But after Liu Bagou heard this, he knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty is the son of the late emperor and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I will swear allegiance to your Majesty to the death!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly: "In that case, do you still object to what I say?"

Liu Bagou said: "I dare you not to obey the imperial edict!"

"Get up!" After hearing Liu Bagou's words, Li Xuan calmed down slightly and asked Liu Bagou to get up first.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Liu Bagou got up, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is going to conquer this battle personally with a body worth ten thousand gold, and we will definitely win this battle!"

Hearing this, the pride Li Xuan had just felt was defeated again. Liu Bagou's imagination was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

You can even shout out words such as "I will personally conquer the emperor"!

However, when the illiterate bandits heard this, they were very excited. They all shouted long live and walked a little faster.



A few miles away from Huangzhu Mountain, a group of people wearing all kinds of random clothes and holding various weapons such as swords and sticks stopped in front of a small hill.

The leader was a short but extremely strong man, holding a spear more than ten feet long in his hand.

Next to him was a middle-aged man wearing a robe, with a mustache and a sneaky look. Now he was seen bending down in front of the short and strong man, and said with a charming smile: "Second Master,

Up ahead is Huangzhushan, which Fang Dongquan personally visited last year when he was young. He didn’t leave many people here, only hundreds of old, weak, women and children, but the fields were extremely suitable for farming and a lot of land was reclaimed.

Moreover, this place is so remote and secret that the officers and soldiers cannot find it at all. As long as we seize it and set up camp, the boss will definitely remember you for your great contribution!"

The short and muscular man nodded: "This place looks really good!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw dozens more people in front of him. From a distance, he could see a yellow flag fluttering in the wind, and he could vaguely hear them shouting "Long Live".
