Chapter 64 The first-class powerful army in the world
If someone said to Butcher Chen: When you close your eyes, it will be dark; when you open your eyes, you will meet officers and soldiers.
He would definitely hold a butcher's knife and said with a arrogant expression: "You're telling lies with your eyes open. I believe it's dark when you close your eyes, but when you open your eyes you can see officers and soldiers? Come on, tell me, officers and soldiers
where?"
But the reality is far more nonsense than a joke. Just after waking up that day, everyone was preparing to cook for a feast, when Butcher Chen saw clouds of smoke rising in the distance.
Seeing so much smoke, even though Butcher Chen had never studied the art of war, he knew that there were many people cooking in the front.
Either there are villages ahead, or there are a large number of people ahead.
Butcher Chen knew very well that there were absolutely no big villages ahead. Within a hundred miles, apart from Huangzhu Mountain where the Tang Dynasty was located, there were only three remaining villages: Jiguan Mountain, Huanggui Mountain, and Black Tiger Village. The others had all been conquered by the great
He was impressed by the Tang Dynasty and joined the Tang Dynasty, a big family full of future expectations.
At this moment, a large number of people appeared in front. Who else could it be besides the Ming army?
Damn it, when did these officers and soldiers come here, and they are four or five miles away from them. For the armies of both sides, the distance of four or five miles is no different than a few hundred feet. The other side has a meal.
You can kill him with the power of rice.
Thinking of this, he quickly found Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren and the others.
And these people obviously discovered something strange in the valley ahead!
Fang Dongquan said: "No need to guess, they must be from the Ming army. I didn't expect them to be here last night!"
Huang Xueren said: "Brothers, please stop immediately and don't light a fire to cook, otherwise we will be discovered by them!"
Judging from the distance of the cooking smoke, the two sides should be only four or five miles away in a straight line. Since they can now see each other's cooking smoke, once they also light a fire to cook, the other party will definitely be able to see the cooking smoke of everyone in Huangzhushan.
Once the opponent discovers the existence of himself and others, it will be equivalent to exposing his whereabouts, and the ambush that everyone has been planning to carry out will naturally come to nothing.
Fortunately, although this standing army of the Tang Dynasty is known as the King's Army, it is still a bandit at heart. This bandit is used to being undisciplined. The Ming army has already gotten up early, and then made a fire to cook and prepare for breakfast, and Huang Zhushan's
This group of bandits had just woken up and were preparing to light a fire to cook.
But just because of this, it was not the Ming army who discovered the Huangzhushan people first, but the Huangzhushan people who discovered the officers and soldiers first.
This ironclad fact proves: sleeping in late is better than getting up early!
What should you do if you want to discover enemy traces in advance? Please sleep in!
What should you do if you want to ambush a powerful enemy and win? Please sleep in!
After discovering suspected traces of the Ming army, the first three armies on the left and right of the Standing Army of the Tang Dynasty were indeed the battle-hardened armies of the Tang Dynasty. They responded quickly and acted resolutely. No one, whether it was the generals or the soldiers, delayed.
In the first moment, he just took a firm step - turned around and ran!
The Ming army is four or five miles ahead. If they continue to stay here and are discovered by the Ming army, they are looking for death. They can kill them in just a few seconds.
There was originally a small bandit leader, oh, no, it should be the Tang Dynasty King's Military Academy Lieutenant, um, that's not right, the specific official position should be to be determined. In short, it was a small leader who suggested to Butcher Chen: "General, we might as well take advantage of the presence of these Ming troops.
Eat breakfast and rush over to kill him!"
Then the little leader named Cao Hu was slapped by Butcher Chen, and he scolded him directly: "Don't get involved with us if you want to die!"
Damn it, are the Ming army numbers 400 and 500 so easy to mess with?
Let alone people eating breakfast, even if they were taking a collective shit, that's not something bandits like them could do.
Without the right geographical location or other favorable circumstances, this is not called a sneak attack and ambush, it is called a violent attack and death!
Everyone in Huangzhushan ran away as soon as they discovered the traces of the Ming army. They ran so cleanly and without any sloppiness. This kind of reaction can be regarded as the first-class powerful army in the world.
Of course, in the words of Huang Xueren and Qian Mengjiu, they were definitely not escaping, but keeping a distance from the Ming army and waiting for a favorable opportunity.
They are right to say so, because they really planned to do so!
On the way, Huang Xueren said: "There is a valley more than ten miles ahead. The terrain there is very suitable for an ambush, and it is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests. With so many of them entering the mountain, there is no other way. They must enter through the valley.
We can ambush them there!"
Qian Mengjiu also said: "What General Huang said is true. If we can find a favorable terrain and attack it from a high position, the puppet Ming rebels will be panicked and will not care about their head and tail. By then we can attack them and defeat them, and we will surely gain a great victory."
Win!"
Although Qian Mengjiu spoke in a formal manner, Fang Dongquan and the others could only understand the general meaning.
Immediately, Fang Dongquan said: "In that case, let's go to the front and prepare to ambush them!"
Butcher Chen said: "Okay, since you all said so, then we will ambush them in the valley. When the time comes, I, Old Chen, will be the first to kill them with my men and horses!"
Looking at Chen Tufu's words, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren nodded in unison. In this huge Tang Dynasty, the only person who dared to lead the soldiers as a vanguard and play the lead game was Chen Tufu, a fierce man.
You said he is not afraid of death. Sometimes he is very timid and will run away quickly when he encounters any danger. When he ran away from Lijiacun, he was the one who led Li Xuan and others out. His ability to escape is not weak.
.
But you can say that he is afraid of death. Whenever there is a war, he always acts as a forward general and is the first one to charge forward with his men.
Moreover, this person always rushed to the front, and every time nothing happened, and he was never injured from the beginning to the end.
Even Fang Dongquan had to admire him and said: "With General Chen leading the charge, we will have greater confidence!"
In terms of being able to fight, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren are actually fierce men, but when it comes to their charging stance, Chen Tufu Niu and Huang Xueren were both defeated by him.
As for Fang Dongquan, when Butcher Chen, Li Xuan, Liu Bagou and the others met Fang Dongquan and the others for the first time, they single-handedly stepped forward and said, "The Prince of the Tang Dynasty is here..." to make Fang Dongquan kneel down to greet him.
Therefore, the most powerful general in the Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly Chen Tufu!
After the bandit leaders discussed it, they hurried to the valley more than ten miles away with a group of bandits who had not had time to have breakfast.
After half a day, everyone in Huangzhushan, who were a little dizzy from hunger, finally arrived at the valley that Huang Xueren and others mentioned.
This valley is called "Luohu Valley". It is said that decades ago, a tiger ran here from nowhere and fell into a hunter's trap, which made this place famous and finally got the name "Luohu Valley".
Luohu Valley is not a big place. There are high mountains and dense forests on both sides, making it impossible for people to walk. In the middle, there is a small valley about tens of meters wide, and this valley is very long, spreading hundreds of meters back and forth.
And it won't be long before a strategic decisive battle that can affect the general trend of the world and affect the survival of the Tang Dynasty may break out here!
This battle will directly determine the ownership of the world, whether the Tang Dynasty will replace the Ming Dynasty in the future, or the Ming Dynasty will continue to dominate the world!
