Chapter 22 Bandits in Troubled Times

With this little episode, the relationship between Gao Xingzhou and the Imperial Guards was promoted.

This is how warriors are. They don’t have so many dirty thoughts. They admire the strong and are all young people, so they naturally won’t take them to their hearts.

Gao Xingzhou had a clear understanding of the quality of the personal guards and became even more awe of Li Ye.

Li Ye explained his offensive strategy, and he personally led the personal guards to attack at night, and the Shence Army supervised the battle outside to prevent the enemy from escaping at night.

Gao Xingzhou heard that the emperor was in danger personally and quickly advised him.

The son of a thousand gold medal cannot sit in the hall.

What's more, the emperor Li Ye.

But Li Ye has made up his mind. The Imperial Guard was built by him. He must always maintain his influence in this army. He does not want the people around him to become Li Maozhen, Han Jian and others in the future.

So he needs to go into battle himself.

In the early Tang Dynasty, there were many powerful generals, but no one dared to betray Taizong Li Shimin.

The reason was that Taizong himself was a brave general, and he was in the forefront of fighting. At the Wulao Pass, three thousand Xuanjia cavalry charged forward with 100,000 Xia troops and captured Dou Jiande alive.

Li Ye is self-aware and dare not compare with Emperor Taizong of Tang. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin's martial arts are among the best in the entire world history.

Not to mention the distant future, let alone Li Cunxu, who was brilliant in the future, as soon as he ascended the throne, the Jin army was completely in decline in front of the Liang army. Li Cunxu led the way, took the lead in charge, and destroyed Liang in a hundred battles!

It is one thing to be able to go into battle, but it is another thing to be dared to go into battle.

Li Ye wanted to use his actions to tell his soldiers that he was definitely not a weak emperor, but one of them, and an iron-blooded monarch worth following!

If the Imperial Guards can't even fight the bandits, Li Ye can rest assured to return to the palace to start his career in studding without having to come out to embarrass him.

Because the enemies he faces are thousands of times stronger than bandits!

If he died on the battlefield, it can only be said that God would not bless Tang, not that he did not work hard!

Gao Xingzhou saw the emperor's expression and knew that he could not persuade him, "Since Your Majesty is going, I will ask for an order to bring three hundred elite soldiers with you!"

Li Ye thought about it and nodded in agreement. Although he was full of confidence in the Imperial Guards, he was on the battlefield for the first time and was preventing problems before they could happen.

The plan was decided, so the entire Xiliu City was mobilized.

After being inspired by the passionate Tang poems for so long, the guards were all happy and finally saw the true chapter.

At midnight, the Imperial Guards and the Shence Army all had murderous auras.

When later generations read Qingming Time Travel Novels, they knew that most soldiers had night blindness due to malnutrition.

In this era, warriors were treated better, so they naturally would not have night blindness. In the Xianzong Dynasty, there was a classic battle where Li Jue attacked Caizhou at night.

After two hours of rapid march, the gap came out. The Imperial Guards were at ease in their daily training, and even Li Ye didn't feel tired. The team of the 300 Shen Ce Army led by Gao Xingzhou was a little dispersed, and some people were even out of breath.

Gao Xingzhou looked at each of the Imperial Guards wearing two armors, holding spears, long swords, and long bows and arrows on their backs, and were secretly shocked.

When he arrived at the Qitian King Village, Ashina Zhenyan had been spying on it for a long time.

"Report to Your Majesty, there are seven secret whistles in the bandit camp and three open whistles. The night patrol team patrols every half hour, each with fifty people, and five people wearing armor."

Asina really reports every detail.

This is also what Li Ye taught that scouts must try to grasp the detailed information of the enemy.

It is not easy for a bandit village to achieve this. There are also armors, which are well-equipped compared to grass fairies and barefoot fairies.

Li Ye estimated the time, which was about five o'clock in the morning, and this time period was the most sleepy time.

"Action!" Li Ye gave the order.

Zhou Yunyi and his team took away many checkpoints under the guidance of Ashina Zhenyan.

After a night owl cried, Li Ye and Gao Xingzhou led a large group of troops to sneak into the village.

To capture the thief, first capture the king. Li Ye’s plan is to go straight to the bandit leader.

It is easy to find a bandit leader. There is a simple house made of stone and wood in the valley. There are two teams of bandits standing guard in front of the door. Most of them are leaning crookedly on the wooden stakes to sleep. A few awake ones are sleepy.

Zhang Xingjin took a few agile personal guards to touch it and solved the group effortlessly.

Li Ye stood at the door and told everyone that as long as they saw a sound from the house, they would set fires everywhere outside and shout, "If anyone holding a weapon is killed, they will be killed."

The room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, a large table was filled with cups and plates, and on the chairs and on the ground, there were bandits sleeping in a mess.

The bandits lived a good life, but when Li Ye looked at the things on the plate, his stomach churned.

A human hand bone...

The table was full of bones, beasts, and people.

Heavy breathing sounded around Li Ye, and the personal guards all had blood-red eyes and suppressed their anger.

"Oh!" A Shen Ce Army behind Gao Xingzhou exclaimed.

In an instant, Gao Xingzhou covered his mouth with rapid reaction.

Fortunately, it was early morning, and the bandits drank wine and slept soundly.

Li Ye whispered: "No living!"

It’s not that Li Ye is cruel, but that he, a modern person who has traveled through time, cannot accept such beastly behavior.

These bandits are no longer human.

The personal guards and the Shen Ce army were ruthless and cut the bandits one by one.

Li Ye walked towards a fat bandit on the coach, wearing tiger skin and an inappropriate hat. Judging from his outfit, he should be the legendary King of Qi Tian.

Li Ye gently drew his sword.

Perhaps feeling Li Ye’s murderous aura, the bandit leader suddenly opened his eyes, was confused at first, and woke up instantly, shouting: “Who are you!”

"Puchi!" The long knife penetrated the bandit leader's chest without any obstacles.

Li Ye didn't feel disgusting like the one he played in the movie, but felt happy.

"Kill!" Li Ye roared.

The imperial guards in the room shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill!"

In an instant, the entire bandit village was full of fire, "Kill, kill, kill!"

With roars, the bandits were awakened even if they were pigs.

Headless flies ran around like flies, some fled with their heads, and some picked up weapons to try to resist. Before they could see who the enemy was, they were shot into hedgehogs.

According to Li Ye's prior order, the Imperial Guards and the Shence Army only attacked those who tried to resist, and more than 1,700 Shence Army were arrested by those who escaped.

The bandits were headless, and all the leaders were killed at the dinner table. How could the enemy of the Imperial Guard in double armor beside the enemy?

Soon, the bandits were in chaos.

Some timids knelt down and surrendered directly. After all, the Imperial Guards and Shence Army were few and too lazy to care about them.

As the sun rose from the eastern horizon, the bandits returned to peace.

Five or six thousand people knelt on the ground honestly. Although there were only more than 500 guards and Shence Army, many bandits had already seen their terribleness last night.

"Your Majesty, the peripheral Shence Army has captured 2,300 prisoners and has been escorted here." Gao Xingzhou reported to Li Ye.

"How are the casualties?"

Gao Xingzhou said: "The Shen Ce Army suffered less than a hundred casualties."

Zhou Yunyi glanced at Gao Xingzhou and said, "The Imperial Guards have no casualties, only one person sprained his ankle when he was chasing the prisoners."

Gao Xingzhou opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it. He was born into a general and knew that he was a little sensational, but it was a bit sensational if he didn't die in a battle.

Zhou Yunyi also found more than 700 women and children from the back mountain and interrogated them and learned that these people were the "grain" stored by bandits for winter.

Li Ye was in a heavy mood, "Let the bandits point out each other, and kill anyone who has eaten human flesh will not be punished!"

Zhou Yunyi took the order and left, and soon the sound of crying and calling for his parents in the mountain village rang out.

After a liquidation, nearly two thousand bandits were beheaded.

Li Ye brought back less than 4,000 prisoners, including women and children.

Li Ye was unable to be happy to win a great victory. This era was only a hundred years away from the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. In just a short time, the land of China fell to this point. When he thought of the five dynasties in history, it was chaotic for nearly eighty years.

How many people have become other people’s food in these eighty years?

Huang Chao, Qin Zongquan, and Sun Ru are all famous cannibal demons.

Even as early as the Anshi Rebellion, dry bones were everywhere in Suiyang City.

In history, Zhaozong was kidnapped by Han Quanhui and Li Maozhen to Fengxiang, attracting Zhu Wen's army. The two sides fought for three years without military rations. Li Maozhen ate the people in the city, and Fengxiang City had 500 coins of dog meat and 100 coins of human meat, and was publicly sold.

Zhu Wen sent troops to hunt down the Guanzhong people, marinate them into jerky meat, and use them as military rations.
