Chapter 20 The Imperial Expedition

Li Xuan looked at them with a calm face at this time: "Now that the enemy is present, I don't worry if I don't see the situation clearly, and the three of you are all heroes, can you bear to stay behind and watch the play, and let a group of old and weak come forward to fight?" ”

"There are also family members in the village, if you don't go into battle to kill the enemy to protect your family at this time, how long will you stay?"

The three bandits who shoulder the responsibility of protection and surveillance around him are all tall and big, with strong muscles, and the waist knife in his hand is also a sophisticated weapon.

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

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

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

But in fact, even if it is a battle between regular armies, only a very small part of it can really be fought, such as personal soldiers.

In contemporary times, even if it is a large-scale battle between tens of thousands of people, in fact, it is only a few hundred elite soldiers such as pro-soldiers on both sides who go into battle to fight and decide the victory, and as for the tens of thousands of people, they are just waving their flags and shouting on the side to fight a good battle.

Once the hundreds of elite soldiers on a certain side as the backbone are dead, then the remaining army of tens of thousands can definitely disperse in a hurry.

This is also the fundamental reason why in the ancient army, the army's acceptance rate of casualties was very low, only a few percentage points, and rarely more than 10 percent, because the casualties of less than 10 percent of the soldiers were the absolute backbone of this army, and only men and horses could fight.

They are dead, can the rest of the rabble not run?

For example, a few days ago, when the Zhengtai County Commander led the county to attack at night, there was a lot of trouble all night, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to launch a second attack, why? Because of these hundreds of county braves, there are only a dozen people who really have the blood to dare to fight, and when these people attacked for the first time, because of their rash advance, these dozen or so people who dared to fight were killed by the bandits under Fang Dongquan with bows and arrows, and a few people were injured, so those county warriors turned around and fled in a swarm.

Therefore, whether or not these elite bandits around Li Xuan participated in the battle was not an inconsequential trivial matter, but a major event that could affect the outcome of the battle ahead.

Seeing the resoluteness on Li Xuan's face, the three bandits also glanced at each other, and then one of them took a deep breath and said, "The little ones listen to Your Majesty!" ”

At this time, Madame Bai stepped forward: "It's so dangerous ahead, Xuan'er, don't go!" ”

Li Xuan shook his head; "Mother rest assured, the child will not come close to the front!"

But that's what he really thinks, but that's not what he really thinks.

The reason why he wanted to go and see it was because he took a few of his guards to resist the enemy to increase his chances of victory, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see what the war was like in those years.

In addition, it is important to note that he is tired of constantly running away.

It has only been a long time since he came to this time and space, and it has only been more than half a month, but nearly half of the time in this half month has been on the way to escape, and this situation makes him deeply tired.

If there is really no way, he would rather die on the battlefield directly than be chased like a dog by the officers and soldiers, and then die in the barren mountains and mountains.

To some extent, now he already has the idea of breaking the jar and breaking it!

After being aggrieved for half a month, he desperately wanted to change his fate, even if he died, he had to control his fate.

Maybe after I die, I can go back to the modern era.

He is very afraid of death, but sometimes death is not the most fearful thing, what really scares him is not being able to decide his own fate, and finally dying in despair and suffering.

This taste of despair, he is not willing to continue trying!

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

At this time, Dong Yunyun on the side also spoke: "Be careful here!" ”

Li Xuan didn't know why Dong Yunyun would say this, maybe her care for her in the past two days made her fall in love with her, maybe she just said it casually, maybe it was something else.

It's just that Li Xuan didn't care anymore, he nodded, didn't speak again, but turned to the three guards beside him and said, "Let's go!" ”

When Li Xuan took the three of them to catch up with Liu Bagou and the other brigade, Liu Bagou and Bai Yunqi both looked incomprehensible.

Liu Bagou even said: "Your Majesty think twice, the war of the soldiers is extremely dangerous, Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold, how can you easily get into danger!" ”

When he said this, Liu Bagou was righteous face: "There are just a handful of chaotic army thieves ahead, just have a minister to lead the heavenly soldiers to resist, and please return to the palace to wait for the good news!" ”

Bai Yunqi also said: "Yes, the front is so dangerous, it's okay to have us, Your Majesty, you better go back!" ”

But at this time, Li Xuan's face was straight: "Can you become a king?" ”

This is just to ask, do you still think that I am the emperor, if this is heard by others, it is estimated that they will laugh, what kind of emperor are you, everyone let you ascend the throne as the emperor, just to tease you.

But after Liu Bagou heard this, he knelt down directly: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is the son of the first emperor, the son of the Tang Dynasty, and the ministers are sworn to be loyal to Your Majesty!" ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly: "In that case, do you still oppose my words?" ”

Liu Bagou said: "The ministers dare not obey the edict!" ”

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

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Liu Bagou got up, he immediately shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is driving the expedition with a body of ten thousand gold, and this battle will be won!" ”

Hearing this, the pride that Li Xuan had just now was defeated again, and this Liu Bagou's brain hole was really not comparable to ordinary people.

You can shout this kind of thing!

However, when the bandits who couldn't read big characters heard this, they were very excited, shouting long live one by one, and they walked a little faster.

……

A few miles away from Huangzhu Mountain, a group of people dressed in various costumes and holding swords, wooden sticks and other miscellaneous weapons stopped in front of a small hill.

The leader was a short, but extremely strong man, who carried a spear more than a foot long.

Next to him was a middle-aged man wearing a robe, a mustache, and a sneaky look, and he was seen bending down in front of the short and strong man, and said with a flattering smile: "Second master, there is Huangzhushan in front of him, this Huangzhushan came to see it in person last year, Fang Dongquan didn't leave many people here, only a hundred old and weak women and children, but the fields are extremely suitable for farming, and a lot of land has been cultivated."

Moreover, this place is remote and secret, and the officers and soldiers will not be able to find this place at all, as long as we take it down and set up camp here, the big boss will definitely remember you a great credit at that time! ”

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

However, as soon as his words fell, he saw dozens of more people and horses in front of him, and from a distance, he could still see a yellow flag fluttering in the wind, and he could vaguely hear them shouting 'Long live'.
