Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 261: top priority

In this place in Zhengtai County, there are still more than 100 Ming troops, except for the Ming troops in Longhua Town and Zhengtai County, they can only be the Ming troops from the opposite Fucheng.

Longhua Town and Zhengtai County are the key monitoring areas of the Datang New Army. Inside and outside the city, there are spies from the Datang New Army monitoring day and night.

Therefore, the Ming army in Longhua Town and Zhengtai County only sent a few people to disguise and slip away. The new army of the Tang Dynasty may not be able to detect it, but if the other party sends an army of more than 100 people out of the city, those spies can immediately Discovered, and then immediately passed the news to Li Xuan.

This is why Li Xuan's first reaction was not the Zhengtai Ming Army, but the Fucheng Ming Army sneaking across the river.

It is unlikely that Chint's Ming army escaped the surveillance of the new army of the Tang Dynasty, which could be called a net of heaven and earth, and thus quietly dispatched more than a hundred Ming troops. Only the Ming army on the other side of the Lanjiang River could do this.

It's just that where did these Ming troops cross the river, and when did they cross the river?

The grain harvesting team was attacked, and the infantry team of nearly 100 people was defeated, so that they threw the looted food and fled in embarrassment, and more than 20 people were damaged. Although Li Xuan also cared about this, he did not Make him pay attention and worry.

What really worries him is that if this Ming army is really the Ming army of Fucheng, then does it mean that the Ming army of Fucheng has another channel for crossing the river, where is this place? Will the main force of the Ming army suddenly all cross the river along this passage?

These problems are more critical, even fatal.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan immediately asked Zeng Ziwen who was beside him: "Zeng Aiqing, has the Ming army on the opposite side changed? Have they ever had less troops?"

Zeng Ziwen has also been listening to the conversation between Li Xuan and the detective. Although he did not interrupt, he knew the details of the matter and immediately said: "Your Majesty, there are people in our army who are paying close attention to the Ming army on the other side of the river day and night. Yesterday The one who crossed the river at noon is still lurking on the other side of the river to observe the Ming army, and since the arrival of the puppet Ming bandit army yesterday, they have not found any trace of a large number of them leaving!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan frowned. This is not a good sign, and it is a very bad sign, because it means that this sudden appearance is not the Ming army that arrived on the other side of the river yesterday, but it may be other The Ming army from the place?

But no matter how Li Xuan guesses now, he can't guess where the Ming army of more than 100 people came from!

Soon he recruited Cao Mingda: "You lead a cavalry team to find the Ming army and report the news at any time!"

As for what to do after finding these Ming troops, what else to do, kill them, you can't let such a Ming army of more than 100 people sway around their logistics line, so they have to worry about the logistics line being attacked every day!

Just after Li Xuan made relevant arrangements because the food collection team was attacked, in a small village with only dozens of households more than 30 miles away from them, a young man dressed in the costumes of the Ming army was grinning. He said with a smile: "Haha, there are rumors about how sharp the Pseudo-Tang Bandit Army is, and it looks like that today!"

"This is all because you have a good command of the army, and you took the lead in killing the enemy bravely. It is natural for the pseudo-Tang bandit army to be defeated. In this battle, our army beheaded the third-level pseudo-Tang bandit army with 150 people. It can be called a great victory! "Immediately, there was a middle-aged general flag beside him, he smiled and complimented.

But when he said this, there was a hint of worry in his eyes!

Perhaps seeing the worried look in his eyes, the young Baihu said, "Why, does Uncle Yun have something difficult to say, you can say it!"

Immediately, the middle-aged general banner known as Uncle Yun said: "Sir, there are rumors outside that the pseudo-Tang bandit army has sharp guns, but the pseudo-Tang bandit army we ambushed before did not have such a gun. !"

The young master didn't take it seriously: "Isn't this a good thing? This shows that there are not many fire guns in the pseudo-Tang bandit army, maybe there are only a few dozen shots, their fire guns can hit so far, and their power is so powerful. It's huge, and the cost is definitely high, and it's not a lot to have dozens of shots. Such expensive weapons must be on the Lanjiang ferry, how can they come to us in the spare time!"

This person's guess was really half of what he said. There are not many muskets in the Datang New Army. So far, only the 1st Infantry Battalion in the Datang New Army is equipped with about 200 muskets, while the 2nd Infantry Battalion and Although the 3rd Infantry Battalion had two musket teams and trained as musketeers, they were not equipped with muskets in batches for the time being. Usually, they needed to share muskets with the 1st Infantry Battalion.

Therefore, the total number of muskets owned by the Datang New Army is about two hundred.

But even so, it is enough to support the current combat power of the new army of the Tang Dynasty. If the new army of the Tang Dynasty can have more than 1,000 muskets, Li Xuan would dare to enter the Xingquan Mansion, and he is confident to fight a dozen in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the tens of thousands of Ming forces. !

But now, Datang has fewer new soldiers, fewer muskets, and without the advantage of weapons, the strength of the army is not dominant, and it can only be a tortoise, hiding in Zhengtai County to stabilize the foundation.

Just like what Zeng Ziwen once said, if Li Xuan was given a few months to run Zhengtai County, then the Tang Dynasty would be able to control at least tens of thousands of people around, and recruit at least thousands of soldiers from it. It can be said that great things can be done, but it is better than it is now.

It's just that the Ming army did not give Li Xuan so much time now~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Ming army in Fucheng called over, and behind him there was another Ming army that appeared out of nowhere.

This made Li Xuan greatly puzzled and at the same time extremely vigilant!

The most terrifying thing is not a powerful enemy, but an enemy that appears inexplicably, because this means that you don't know if a large group of enemies will suddenly appear in the next moment!

The unknown is the most terrifying!

And this kind of unknown is also what Li Xuan hates. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the supreme commander of the new army of the Tang Dynasty, he needs to control the overall situation and understand the surrounding information before he can make the best choice.

And now this kind of unknown is enough to affect his follow-up judgment. For example, if he is determined to make a big vote for the Ming army, there is no group of Ming army suddenly appearing behind him. Hundreds of people kill from behind, then the new army of the Tang Dynasty will be finished.

And this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed by Li Xuan. Therefore, finding and annihilating the Ming army that suddenly appeared has become Li Xuan's top priority.
