In the makeshift tent, the dim oil light was not enough for Li Xuan to see everyone's subtle expressions clearly, but Li Xuan could still see that Fang Dongquan was a little excited.

Can this not be excited, in the past two days, I have been chased by the Ming army like a dog, but in order not to be caught up by the main force of the Ming army, I dare not have any counterattack, I can only run and run all the way, and I am about to run and vomit!

Now that they finally ran back to the mountain, those Ming troops were so bold that they continued to catch up, and there were only more than 100 forwards who came.

"There are only a hundred of them, so they don't need to bother much at all, I'll take someone to touch them and kill them for a while tonight, and I will definitely kill them!"

Butcher Chen is as confident as ever, and he doesn't need to blow up the draft.

Li Xuan listened to his words, and directly pretended that he didn't hear it, and attacked at night, and it was not wrong to walk in the mountains at night and not get lost halfway.

In recent years, because of the standard of living, people have been unable to absorb vitamin A well because of the general lack of fatty foods, resulting in people suffering from night blindness, which is more serious among the poor class with worse living standards, such as the bandits in Huangzhushan and the military households of the Ming army.

If these people want to walk at night, it is almost impossible to walk without torches.

In most eras, ordinary soldiers were at the bottom of society, and the lack of fatty foods made night blindness common among ancient soldiers.

In addition to night blindness, there was a general lack of good organization in ancient armies, and more importantly, a means of communication!

In particular, there was no radio at night, and the flag used for command during the day could not be seen clearly, so communication could only be transmitted verbally by the heralds.

These three main reasons directly led to the fact that night battles were rare in ancient times and even in modern times, let alone night attacks.

Unless necessary, the ancient generals would never engage in any field battles or even just rush at night, as for not even playing with torches to attack at night, if there are 10,000 generals who do this, then one is a famous general who will go down in history, and the remaining 9,999 are stupid!

Turning over the history books, there have been many examples of night attacks throughout the ages, and most of the examples of night attacks will be written about by the big books, blowing like the resurrection of dead parents, why?

It's because it's difficult to attack at night, and it took great difficulty to succeed in hundreds or thousands of battles, so naturally it needs to be blown up.

Li Yuxue took Caizhou at night, but it was blown for more than a thousand years!

If the night attack was really so easy, people would have thrown Li Yu into the corner of the poop that they didn't know.

There have been many Wenchen generals who want to emulate Li Yu throughout the ages, but they have all become fools, far from it, last year Su Jiakang led the army to attack the Tang Dynasty at night is the best example, his three hundred young men fell directly half of the team that night, that is called a miserable!

Only a small number of the most elite soldiers can play night battles, and even night raids, plus a group of extremely good officers and a peerless general, so that it is possible to create miracles.

And can these bandits in Huangzhushan create such a miracle?

Think about it on your toes and know it's impossible!

Although these soldiers in the Datang New Army have also been training for several months, some of them have even been trained for a full year, and Li Xuan also guarantees them a relatively generous supply of food on weekdays.

But this 'abundance' is used to compare with those who don't even have enough to eat, that is, three meals a day, most of which are coarse grains.

It's not easy to be able to eat three meals a day, and you still expect to have meat to eat every day, and fry food for three days and two days.

In this regard, Li Xuan can only say, you really think too much, his Tang Dynasty can feed such a large group of people, it would be good for them to have coarse grains to eat every day!

I still want to eat meat, hemp eggs, Lao Tzu can't afford to eat even the emperor!

In the Tang Dynasty, except for Princess Huichen, who can eat meat every day, no one else, even Li Xuan, has this treatment!

The soldiers of the Tang New Army have a better physical fitness than ordinary young and strong at most, and better than those serf soldiers of the Ming Army, but don't compare them with the modern soldiers of later generations.

In addition to the average quality of the soldiers themselves, the officers in the Datang New Army could not undertake overly complex combat commands.

In the new army of the Tang Dynasty, the high-level generals are Fang Dongquan, all of them are from bandit leaders, even Wang Danxu, who is more valued by Li Xuan, he is also an illiterate bandit, but he is more clever and studious.

Li Xuan's real former officers are the dozen or so former Guards officers who are half of the eldest officers, and now these people are all taught by Li Xuan himself, and most of them are currently serving as captains and deputy captains, and it will take time for them to grow up.

In other words, today's Datang New Army, whether it is the quality of soldiers or officers, cannot support a night battle.

So Butcher Chen said that he was going to attack at night, but Li Xuan didn't even think about it, and Quan Dang didn't hear it.

However, what Wang Danxu said was more reliable: "Tomorrow we can set up a small ambush on the road, and let the musket team give them a few rows of guns, and then leave!" ”

Even if you have to lay in ambush, you still need to avoid hand-to-hand combat, because it is too easy to get entangled, but if you use a musket team, you can avoid this trouble.

The people of the musket team can give them a few rounds of guns in about 100 meters, and they don't have to pursue much lethality, it is enough to scare and scare them, so as not to chase the Ming army behind them too close.

Qian Mengjiu said: "It's okay to use the musket team, but it's better to let the cavalry team sweep the formation, so as not to cause any chaos!" ”

Later, Fang Dongquan and Cai Erhu also nodded in unison, indicating that they could let the people of the musket team play a small ambush tomorrow.

As for how to fight exactly, that's another matter.

Today's military discussion didn't last long, and they went back separately after about half an hour, and Li Xuan didn't sigh at the dark night sky after the military discussion ended, but quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The continuous escape in the past few days has made Li Xuan himself exhausted, and he fell asleep quickly as soon as he lay down.

Early the next morning, Li Xuan got up, freshened up with the help of Xia's mother, and then put on his military uniform embroidered with dragon patterns.

This is a military uniform specially designed by Li Xuan for himself, the style is somewhat similar to the generals' dresses of various countries in the early twentieth century, but the top is a double-row copper button, the lower body is slightly slim trousers, the overall clothes are navy blue, the cuffs and the edge of the trousers are embroidered with a rather unique golden dragon pattern, with long leather boots, and a waist knife made of stainless steel hangs from the waist.

If you just wear this body, people who don't know will think that they have seen a warlord in the early years of the Republic of China crossing over!
