When everyone was still arguing, Li Xuan had already made a decision directly, which made Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren can't help but look up at Li Xuan.

Even Qian Mengjiu glanced at Li Xuan!

Because Li Xuan at this time is not the same as usual!

In the past, when there was a major event, it was often the civil and military officials who discussed it, and only after the discussion came out with a unanimous result, Li Xuan would make the final decision, or after the two sides were in dispute and the ministers could not discuss the unanimous result, Li Xuan would make the final choice.

But today, Li Xuan didn't give his civil and military ministers too much time to argue, and even directly planned their debate and directly made his own decision.

And this kind of thing is a little strange in the eyes of Qian Mengjiu.

Regarding everyone's thoughts, Li Xuan didn't have much to care about.

As time passed, the longer Li Xuan became emperor, the more he controlled the Tang Dynasty, and he became more and more accustomed to it, and even liked to be arbitrary.

Well, in the words of Liu Bagou and Qian Mengjiu, it is a holy cut!

This is not only because of his growing desire for power, but also because although the total number of civil and military officials in the Tang Dynasty is not large, their origins and knowledge are different, and there are often disputes when facing the same thing.

In many cases, none of these officials can convince anyone, and in the end, Li Xuan has to decide for himself.

At the beginning, in order to avoid irritating Fang Dongquan and Liu Bagou, Li Xuan was resigned to pretending to be stupid, but today, Li Xuan no longer needs to look at the faces of Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren and others in many cases, so Li Xuan is also becoming more and more impatient with them arguing.

As a result, when Li Xuan encountered such a major and urgent matter as the night attack of the Ming army today, he directly planned the discussion of the ministers, and did not even ask the opinions of any of the ministers, he directly made his own choice, and this choice was different from what Qian Mengjiu and Fang Dongquan were arguing about.

However, Qian Mengjiu was strange and strange, but he would not be stupid to ask why, or express any protests.

Li Xuan is the emperor, and theoretically this kind of military affairs require Li Xuan to make the final choice, but now Li Xuan has just advanced the time to make a decision, and the decision he made is not the same as the decision that the ministers argued.

After Li Xuan said that, he looked around, he naturally saw the surprise in the eyes of Qian Mengjiu and others, but now he didn't care anymore.

I only heard him continue: "General Huang, you take the baggage team first, there are more than 40 baggage soldiers in your baggage team, and there are 200 young and strong, there should be no problem with this alone!" ”

Huang Xueren said: "Your Majesty, there is no problem with the baggage team, Weichen will definitely take the baggage team away safely!" ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then looked at Wang Danxu and Fang Dongquan again: "The rest of the generals are all ready to go back and prepare for a while, and in a while, they will lead their headquarters to fight with me!" ”

Fang Dongquan and Wang Danxu were slightly stunned, and then said in unison: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

The military order has been issued, although the generals Fang Dongquan and Wang Danxu still have doubts, but now that the military order is like a mountain, they also have to put down many doubts in their hearts and find their respective subordinates to prepare!

As Li Xuan's order to prepare for war was issued, this small valley was boiling in an instant, a large number of torches were lit, the soldiers were called, and then they began to prepare weapons and armor in a panic.

Among them, Wang Danxu's musketeers are the fastest to prepare, the training of these musketeers is far more than that of other bandits, and at the same time, they are always with their guns, and they sleep in clothes at night, and they can gather with muskets immediately after coming up.

The slowest were the heavily armored sword and shield soldiers led by Butcher Chen, they were already relatively scattered, and at the same time, if they wanted to prepare for battle, they had to put on armor.

This armor is not so easy to put on, even if someone helps to wear it, it will take several minutes, if you wear it alone, it will be even more troublesome, this is still a simplified iron armor or cotton iron armor in the Tang Dynasty, these armors are relatively suitable for wearing, if it is the kind of full-body knight armor in medieval Europe, it will take more than ten minutes for someone to help wear it, if no one helps, I'm sorry, you can't wear it alone!

It takes a long time to wear armor, and at the same time, you can't wear armor for a long time, so if some heavy armor units are attacked when they are marching or camping, and a battle breaks out in an instant, then these heavy armor soldiers simply don't have enough time to put on their armor, and can only fight as light infantry.

But then again, unless they are ambushed at close range, it will take time for the enemy to rush even if they are attacked, so that these heavily armored units will have enough time to put on their armor and fight.

By the time Butcher Chen and the others arrived in the procession, the musketeers, archers, and spearmen were ready.

Li Xuan, who was riding on the horse, glanced at it, and then nodded slightly at Wang Danxu beside him!

Although he personally commanded the battle, he did not personally lead the soldiers to fight except for the previous charge of leading the musketeers in Zhengtai County

This time was the same, he and Qian Mengjiu and Zeng Ziwen were behind, while Wang Danxu stepped forward from Li Xuan's side, and then commanded the troops to start arranging along the camp.

When camping in the wilderness, it is naturally impossible to fall to the ground and sleep, even if there is no tent, but there are still simple fences made of some wooden stakes and even tree branches.

Now they were stationed along a row of wooden stakes on the periphery of the camp, especially in the open terrain directly ahead, where they had already erected a number of tree stumps to form a simple distance horse.

They laid out a detailed formation with musketeers in front, archers in the rear, and spearmen in a further position.

The above three classes form the main line of defense, the specific mode of combat will be to intercept with muskets, then the archers will shoot arrows, and when the enemy forces rush to the front and rear, the musketeers will continue to reload and fire according to the situation, or use bayonets, the spearmen will step forward to cover the musketeers, and the archers will abandon the bow and arrows and fight with waist knives, providing close cover, killing those enemy soldiers who rush into their array.

The heavy armor sword and shield soldiers of Butcher Chen in the rear, because the troops were too small to be used intensively, acted as a strategic reserve as before, used to plug the gap or launch a counteroffensive to attack the enemy's flank.

As for Cao Mingda's cavalry, they roamed the periphery, providing early warning of the periphery, and they could also rush and kill if necessary.

However, his dozen or so cavalry did not play a role in the battle of hundreds or thousands of people, at most they were used as scouts and hunted down some stragglers of the enemy.

The new army of the Tang Dynasty in the valley lit a large number of torches to prepare for battle, and this situation was soon learned by Su Jiakang, who was miles away.

"Damn, these pseudo-Tang thieves are so cunning that they actually discovered us!" At this time, Su Jiakang didn't know that the whereabouts of the Ming army were exposed by Wang Zhisian and they took the initiative to expose them, and he thought that the scouts of the puppet Tang thief army were so awesome that they found them several miles in advance.

"But that's okay, since these pseudo-Tang thieves didn't turn around and escape, then it's just right, we will catch them all!" Su Jiakang still looked high-spirited, and continued with confidence: "We have more than 1,000 elite soldiers, and the puppet Tang thief army is only half of the army. ”

Hearing Su Jiakang so much, Wang Zhisi, who was below, almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood!

You old bastard, you have to attack in this situation, you have a lot of brains, even if you don't consider that your own soldiers are exhausted and have no power to fight, you must understand that the puppet Tang thief army is already fully prepared.

In this case, a night attack was launched, and it was a strong attack, mainly because it could be successful, and Lao Tzu cut off his head and kicked it as a ball.

At this time, it was not only Wang Zhisi, but also several other generals with strange faces, and then they all looked at Wang Zhisi.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Wang Zhisian knew what they were thinking in their hearts, didn't he just want to persuade Su Jiakang.

After a slight hesitation, Wang Zhisian said in a cautious tone: "Master Su, you see that now the puppet Tang thief army is ready, although the soldiers of our army are brave, but now they are exhausted, if they attack rashly, I am afraid that they will not be able to do it!" ”

Su Jiakang turned his head and glanced at Wang Zhisi, did not speak, but just stared at him coldly!

Wang Zhixi was looked at by Su Jiakang like this, and the courage to persuade disappeared without a trace in an instant.

He knows very well that the Su Jiakang he is facing is not an ordinary person, even if Su Jiakang is not even his immediate boss, but Su Jiakang is a civil official from Jinshi.

And although it is said that this kind of martial affairs is the responsibility of the generals, but in today's era of civil and military nobility, the military Daquan has long been controlled by civilian officials, so the person in charge of this extermination of the pseudo-Tang thief army is not him Wang Zhixi or several other thousand households, deputy thousand households, but Su Jiakang, a small Qipin county order, and on the Internet, it is Song Zhiwen, the lord of the mansion.

And civilian officials have never taken the lives of military generals seriously, if they continue to persuade now, maybe Su Jiakang will say: "Shake the morale of the army, pull it out and cut it!" ”

The most important thing is that if Su Jiakang cuts him with a knife, then he will be cut, but there is no court boss to avenge him, maybe he will fall into the well, and put some messy basins on his head, just like Zeng Ziwen of the former Tong'an Qianhu Thousand Households, he was detained on the basin, and ended up with a light enemy who rushed forward, so that the army was defeated.

Wang Zhisian opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say the follow-up persuasion, and finally lowered his head obediently under Su Jiakang's gaze.

Seeing Wang Zhisigh and bow his head, and the other generals also bowed their heads obediently, Su Jiakang let out a cold snort!

These martial artists who are greedy for life and afraid of death don't know how to take care of the overall situation at all!

The soldiers were exhausted after a whole day of pursuit, didn't he Su Jiakang know? Not only did he know, but he knew it very well

Could it be that after the puppet Tang thief army was ready, the difficulty of the night attack became greater, and the soldiers might suffer heavy casualties, would he not know?

Of course he knew!

But do these matter?
