Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 54 Prepare to freeze hands!

At this time, in the bandits lair, apart from the original bandits, there were also desperadoes who came from all over the place. There are more than a thousand people who are the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but most of them are disguised and turned into Han people.

But some people can tell at a glance that they are not from the Central Plains, but the bandits don't care too much. After all, everyone is licking blood with knives. It doesn't matter where they are, it's important to grab things together.

Pieces of temporary tents are connected together in the valley, and there is only one entrance and exit in the valley, which is very safe.

At this time, most of the bandits were drinking and having fun in the valley. Some famous bandit leaders, as well as those generals who secretly supported the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, surrounded Chen Sandao, with a bonfire in the middle. Everyone is eating meat and drinking alcohol.

Chen Sandao sat at the top and said to the gangsters below:

"Brothers, we are only two days away from the stronghold of the Ming army. This time, as long as you follow me, Chen Sandao, to complete this ticket, I guarantee that every brother will get rich! Everyone has a woman! Everyone There is gold! Let’s eat and drink tonight, and leave camp tomorrow to make a fortune!”

After he yelled, the bandit leaders who didn't know why below all shouted happily.

Some Beiyuan generals who were pretending to be in disguise had already looked at each other a few times, and their eyes were full of complacency.

They are not worried at all that these bandits will not fight with them. On the one hand, Chen Sandao has already drawn a big cake, and on the other hand, there are more than 1000 people who are the armed forces left by Beiyuan. The mainstay of this operation, of course, if these bandits can do their best, it would be great.

Moreover, they also brought all kinds of imitation mandarin duck battle jackets. Although the number is not very large, they can be worn by hundreds of people. At the opening of the switch, everyone can open up the situation by swarming up!
Whether it is the gangsters who are waiting to grab a big ticket, or the remnants of the Northern Yuan who are thinking about restoring the Great Yuan, they are all in a very happy mood at this time, and the barrels of wine have been moved out without money. It seems like wanton squandering, anyway, in their opinion, in a few days, everyone will become rich and rich, so what's the effort now!
And when they were drinking here wantonly, some scouts wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats deliberately disguising themselves less than five miles away from the bandit village had already vaguely heard the movement here.

Based on past experience, they knew that the bandits' village must be not far ahead.

However, in order to avoid startling the enemy, and because of the complicated terrain ahead, they didn't dare to investigate further, for fear of alarming the bandits' secret whistle, and letting the bandits run away in the dark, the gain would outweigh the loss.

In fact, if they could walk another four or five miles, they would be able to see the continuous battalion commanders in the valley. That is definitely not the scale that ordinary bandits can have.

After all, what about 4000 people, which bandit can gather more than 4000 people?There are not so many people in Shuibo Liangshan!
At this time, Zhu Qi and five thousand Ming troops were camping and sleeping soundly in the mountains with their backs against a mountain. Suddenly someone came from outside, saying that the secret sentry in front had discovered a suspected bandit's lair!
This direction is the direction that the mountain people pointed at earlier, that is to say, these bandits are probably the group who sold horses to the mountain people earlier, they must have something to do with Hu Qi, at least there is news .

Needless to say, Zhu Qi immediately planned to let the army attack to wipe out these bandits.

From Zhu Qi's point of view, since he was a night raider and an official army, isn't it easy to suppress the bandits?

Just as he was about to tell his plan, Li Jinglong beside him was also excitedly rubbing his fists and said:

"Your Highness, this is a god-given opportunity, we should take advantage of the darkness to raid the bandits immediately!"

Zhu Qixi's happy smile suddenly froze, huh?Why did I want to go with Li Jinglong?

Xu Zengshou hastily coughed twice and said:
"Cough cough cough, I'm afraid night raids are inappropriate. Those who are capable of night raids in our army don't know if we can gather 500 people."

Zhu Qi was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this was only the beginning of Hongwu's Ming Dynasty. His prince used to eat and drink well, his nutrition could fully keep up, and his night vision ability was of course not bad.

But ordinary soldiers usually eat less meat, not to mention cod liver oil, liver and other things that are crucial to night vision. As for carrots, who has nothing to do to specially supplement carrots!

Eat what you want, and don't eat if you don't have to. No one in the army knows that eating carrots can improve night vision.

So what Xu Zengshou said was the truth. At this time, in the Ming army, there was no way to eat meat every once in a while. It was okay to eat once every two or three days. suitable.

You know, only the real elite can eat meat every meal, or eat meat before the war. Most of the time, the main food in the barracks is soup, porridge, steamed buns!
Zhu Qi let out a deep breath in his heart, and almost made a joke.

Li Jinglong was slightly embarrassed, but his face was not red, and he said:
"Of course I know that there are not many people who can fight at night, but the opponent is nothing more than bandits. Four to five hundred people are enough to fight!"

On the other hand, Geng Bingwen suggested:
"Your Highness, according to the news sent by those scouts, the voices in front are quite noisy. They are blood-licking people. After today, there will be no tomorrow. Naturally, they are not as disciplined as our officers and soldiers. It is likely that the bandits are drinking. For fun, why don't we wait for a while, and when Yinshi, when the sky is slightly bright, our army will be dispatched, and we will surely be able to win in one battle."

After Geng Bingwen finished speaking, the rest of the generals also nodded, obviously agreeing with him.

Seeing that they all thought this way, Zhu Qi also decided to adopt Geng Bingwen's opinion, stay where he is, and let the bandits eat and drink first. Yin time is from three to five in the middle of the night, and people's vigilance is at its weakest at this time Yes, it was also a time when he was sleeping soundly. At this time, he could use some light to make an assault, which was also a very good choice.

Soon, Zhu Qi sent an order, and all the staff were ready to fight. According to the terrain conditions detected by the scouts, they waited for the opportunity to prepare for an assault from the entrance of the valley!
The Ming army didn't think too much, they rested for a while, left all the luggage in place, then extinguished the torches one by one, and then, under the leadership of His Royal Highness King Liao, headed not far ahead, Quietly touched the past.

However, the mountain bandits and the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the valley never dreamed that a 5000-strong Ming army had already approached them not far away...
