This Tsing Yi man is estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old, and he has long eyebrows and clear eyes, which is going to be arrested by the gangsters, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be bought into the Qinglou as a **.

However, if you look closely at his expression, then you will find that this man has a cold smile on his face, and there is a cruel smile in the sinister smile, and in addition, this man has a waist knife in his hand.

Such a young man does not look like a good person no matter how you look at it.

When you meet someone, you can't say who the villain is!

At this time, he looked at the Ming army in front of him, and muttered: "I have to go back and report to General Chen, and then bring the generals and them over to slaughter all these Ming troops, hehe, maybe you can reward me with a little lady!" ”

seems to have thought that he will get a delicate beautiful lady in the future, and the smile on his face is even bigger.

Not long after, Butcher Chen, who was in charge of the outpost affairs, learned about the traces of the Ming army from this young man's mouth!

After Butcher Chen asked about the news in detail, he took this young man in Tsing Yi to Li Xuan, Fang Dongquan and others.

Li Xuan asked in person again:

"A lone Ming army? How many of them are there? Is it the ordinary young man or the regular army? Li Xuan's expression was steady, but he asked with some excitement in his heart.

The young man in Tsing Yi said: "There are only more than 60 of them, but these Ming soldiers are not those young people who come to make up the numbers, they are all wearing military uniforms that only officers and soldiers have!" ”

"That's the regular army!" Li Xuan said: "How could these regular troops appear here, could it be that their main force is nearby?" ”

The young man in Tsing Yi shook his head and said, "The little one has 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 said with joy on his face: "The little one is called ginger soup!" ”

Ginger soup? This name is strange, but Li Xuan is no exception, there are all kinds of names used these days, and it is not strange that people use ginger soup as a name, at least it is much better than cows, dogs, etc.

Immediately, Li Xuan said: "My Tang Dynasty has always had clear rewards and punishments, today you Jiang Tang has made great contributions, I have sealed Er for a hundred households, and I hope that Qing will make miraculous achievements in the future!" ”

When Jiang Tang heard it, he immediately knelt down with ecstasy on his face: "Thank you for the reward!"

Liu Bagou on the side looked at this ginger soup, and secretly shook his head in his heart, in the end, he was a rude warrior, and he didn't even know that he claimed to be a minister, and at this time he even called himself a villain.

However, the current Liu Bagou is too lazy to talk to a small person like Jiang Tang, and at this time he has already come out of the ranks: "Your Majesty, since you have found the traces of the enemy, you should find out the situation and attack it!" ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at Butcher Chen and said, "Let your subordinates continue to monitor that Ming army, and if there is any change, report back immediately!" ”

Then he turned to Fang Dongquan again: "You immediately send someone to the vicinity to search, I want to know if the main force of the Ming army is nearby!" ”

Butcher Chen and Fang Dongquan said one after another: "The minister's order! ”

Immediately, they each strode out, and they were ready to send more spies forward, monitoring the movement of the Ming army that had appeared, and at the same time, they also had to search for the existence of the main force of the Ming army nearby!

At this time, Li Xuan had already asked the main bandit force in Huangzhushan to start preparing for battle, and the soldiers hurriedly had lunch in advance, and they had enough energy to prepare for battle at any time.

Li Xuan knew that the Ming army that entered the mountain this time was not all regular troops, but more than half of them were young and strong people, and the regular army wearing military uniforms was about 1,000 people.

This is the same as the main forces of the Tang Dynasty are all concentrated together, and they will never easily divide their troops unless they have to do so.

Therefore, Li Xuan was worried that this Ming army was only the vanguard or flank 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, then they don't have to do anything, don't say anything, just turn around and leave!

But if all they encounter is a lone Ming army, then Li Xuan will be unkind!

However, at this time, Li Xuan and the others still didn't think that in fact, the Ming army they encountered was not a forward, or even a partial division of troops to advance, these Ming troops were actually just looking for the location of Huangzhu Mountain, although there were more people, but in terms of the nature of the task, they were still just spies.

And Li Xuan didn't know that what they encountered was not a guard soldier, but a recruit from the Fucheng side!

Time passed bit by bit, and the spies sent out kept reporting the news!

"The enemy forces ahead are in our northeast direction, and now they are advancing to the east, and 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 one after another, Li Xuan and the others finally determined one thing, they really encountered a lone Ming army!

A Ming army with only more than 60 troops!

Since that's the case, then what else is there to say, in the words of Butcher Chen: fuck it!

Li Xuan naturally will not give up this opportunity, the total number of Ming troops entering the mountain is so many, and the main force is only half a thousand people, which can weaken the strength of the Ming army by defeating the more than 60 people in front of him.

If you are lucky enough in the future, you can defeat a small unit of the Ming army today, another one tomorrow, and another one the day after tomorrow, so who dares to say that they can't defeat the Ming army?

As for whether the Ming army will be so stupid and keep playing the division of troops, Li Xuan doesn't know, anyway, Li Xuan himself fantasizes about it and doesn't want money.

This situation is so tragic, you have to give yourself some hope!

And the lone Ming army in front of him made Li Xuan see the hope of winning, although the hope was very slim, but he still saw it!

Therefore, Li Xuan did not hesitate to give a combat order: "Order, prepare for battle, and take down this Ming army!" ”

As he spoke, he thought for a moment, and then said: "This battle has the Guards as the vanguard, and the standing army is in formation!" ”

There was nothing wrong with Li Xuan's previous sentence, but the latter sentence used the guards as the forward, which made Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren worried.

Even Butcher Chen and Bai Yunqi all looked worried, these generals, you look at me, I look at you, and finally under the pressure of everyone's gaze, Fang Dongquan stubbornly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Guards are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding the Holy Guard, it is better to let the ministers lead the standing army to fight, and it will definitely be a great victory for Your Majesty!" ”

Fang Dongquan said this, and even the worries shown by the other generals were not really worried about Li Xuan's safety, nor were they out of the desire to fight for power and profit, but they didn't trust the group of half-grown sons of the Guards in their hearts.

Let this group of half-sized sons take the lead, and they, the young and strong bandits, will press the formation behind, how can this work, not to mention whether those half-sized children can fight, if the loss is big, they will not have to cry to death.

You know, the half-grown sons in the Guards didn't come out of the stones, most of them were the sons and nephews of the young bandits.

The elders of the father, uncle, uncle or something are in the standing army, and the sons and nephews are in the guards!

Li Xuan was willing to let those half-sized sons of the Guards go into battle to die, but they were still reluctant!

At this time, Butcher Chen couldn't help but step forward and said: "How can those little boys of the Guards fight, this war, we have to come!" ”

Butcher Chen is also worried, his only nephew is serving in the Guards, his old Chen family was almost wiped out last year, only he escaped with his nephew.

His nephew is not only the only remaining bloodline of his eldest brother, but also the only next generation of bloodline of his Chen family, if something happens to him, what face does he have to face the ancestors of the Chen family, and when the time comes, his dead father will not be able to crawl out of the grave with a pig-killing knife and cut him.

But Li Xuan waved his hand, and said in a rather tough tone: "I have made up my mind!" ”

Then he turned his gaze to Wang Danxu and said, "The guards here, presumably they won't let me down!" ”

Wang Danxu looked at Fang Dongquan before, and his worries and doubts were already dissatisfied.

Wang Danxu is also a bandit who doesn't know how to read and write, and he doesn't know much, but he is a bandit with ideals, and he has been training the guards with Li Xuan for most of the year, and his brain has already been brainwashed by Li Xuan, thinking that there are only two standards for a strong army: strict military discipline and neat formation!

If there is the kind of musket that Li Xuan and he have been with without a fire rope, then this kind of army can sweep the world!

So he said in a confident tone: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely sacrifice the head of the leader of the enemy army for Your Majesty!" ”

After that, he turned to the other generals and said: "Don't worry about your colleagues in the standing army, my guards have been training hard for more than half a year, and we are waiting for this day, and I will definitely not let you down!" ”

As he spoke, he just strode out, and then walked into the ranks of the guards: "Sons and daughters of the guards, Your Majesty has a decree, and my guards will be the vanguard in this battle!" ”

Saying that, there was another shout: "The Guards are invincible"

When Wang Danxu said this, others thought that the half-sized sons of the guards would make a noise, whether it was a big increase in morale or low morale, they would definitely react, but to Fang Dongquan's surprise, the entire guards up and down, as if they hadn't heard Wang Danxu's words, no one spoke, and they still kept quiet.

Others may just feel strange, but Zeng Ziyun on the side was shocked when he saw this scene!

When the army went out, Li Xuan brought Zeng Ziyun with him, and Li Xuan was not sure what the use of bringing him was, but after all, he was a five-grade thousand households of the Ming army, and it was better to bring it than not to bring it, and he couldn't tell when he could use it.

Although Zeng Ziyun is also young, he is from a family of generals and knows a lot about the military, and he knows very well that when an army hears that it is about to go to battle and is even selected as a striker, it still does not change its face, and it does not even mean anything at all.

This means that their military discipline has reached a rather terrifying level!
