Chapter five hundred and eighty: Thorn King(1/2)
Li Shimin pulled the horse first, and the vast crowd followed him.
Wait until the city gate.
Then he saw Chen Zhengtai leading the officials in the city to wait here. Chen Zhengtai was wearing a python robe and went forward to salute, "I have seen Your Majesty."
Li Shimin looked at him up and down and found that this guy was still lively and very vivid.
Only then did Li Shimin feel relieved.
Then he said, "Where is Hou Jun gathering?"
"I have already beheaded, and my head is in the Tiance Army." Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty, this Hou Junji rebelled, and there is a person here..."
Before Chen Zhengtai finished speaking, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I had known that he had rebelled and had intercepted a large number of secret letters from the Hou family and his son-in-law. I really never expected that there were such sinister people in the world. I was so kind to him. I would never have thought that this person would dare to do this. It would be better if he was beheaded. If you don't kill him, I would come with my army and horses and teach him that he will die without a place to die."
Chen Zhengtai breathed a sigh of relief. As a result, he had spared time to explain.
Immediately, when he saw that behind Li Shimin was a mighty cavalry, he immediately understood.
Your Majesty came in a hurry with his men. I think it was because of Hou Junji's rebellion. You should know that this is not a single person. If you are alone, you will be rushing every day, just like a fast horse that sends letters. You can travel thousands of miles in seven or eight days.
But this is an army, and an army arrived in Xining so quickly. The only possibility is that Li Shimin was anxious and did not delay for a moment.
At this moment, a thought popped up in Chen Zhengtai's mind.
Your Majesty came in a hurry, was it because he came to save me?
This idea flashed and Chen Zhengtai couldn't make it right, but he also believed that at least... there must be such an element in Li Shimin's idea.
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but feel grateful, and then said, "Your Majesty, it's so unrest outside, so why not go to the city to rest."
Li Shimin was not in a hurry. He sat on the horse, looked around and said, "I heard that your more than a thousand cavalry had defeated 30,000 elite soldiers. I am very clear about Hou Junji's methods. This person is an extraordinary person, but he is a famous general in the world, but he was also killed by Xue Rengui?"
Chen Zhengtai said: "This is the result of the soldiers' lives. Of course, there is another reason, that is, the heavy cavalry is extraordinary, and once it is put into the battlefield, no one can match it. As for Xue Rengui, he killed seven or eight rebels in a row, including the Hou Junji. But... in other words, this credit cannot be counted on him. The heavy cavalry that each unit performs its duties and charges in the battle played a major role. Although Xue Rengui uses his life, Su Ding's command, the Black-Tyed Changzhi's guard camp defeated the flanks of the rebels and protected the safety of the central army. Even the artillery battalion, tens of thousands of cannons were fired in advance, disrupting the opponent's cavalry's formation. It is these several functions that allow the heavy cavalry to play."
"Xue Rengui is also a brother of his son. He should have asked for credit for him, but at this time, his son is bound to say some fair words. Everyone has a share of this contribution, and no one has a lot of credit."
This is the truth, even if Xue Rengui is on the side, he is convinced.
If the central army is defeated, no matter how powerful the heavy cavalry is, it will only fall into the vast ocean of the rebels. It is precisely because the central army is as solid as a rock that there is no danger of the heavy cavalry being surrounded, and the heavy cavalry is given the heavy cavalry to capture the thief first.
And the shelling ahead is also very important.
Cavalry charge is still very terrible. Even heavy cavalry cannot withstand the continuous impact. However, the early artillery bombardment disrupted the charge formation, which led to the opponent's impact and did not play its greatest role.
Of course, the artillery of this era cannot produce large-scale damage.
But its advantage is that it can disrupt the other party's array so that the other party cannot look at each other at the beginning and end.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "So that's it, but... I am still very interested in this Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui, come up."
Xue Rengui shook his head and walked forward quickly.
Although his brother still reduced his contribution, he didn't care. He enjoyed the feeling of fighting on the battlefield.
Moreover, my brother did this and hoped to give the second brother Su Dingfang a little more credit. Su Dingfang has been in the back lineup and has no way to achieve success. He must make some even.
So Xue Rengui has no complaints at all!
At this time, Li Shimin looked at Xue Rengui with a smile and couldn't help but say, "How did you kill Hou Junji?"
Xue Rengui said, "I threw my spear over and he died."
"Give it over?" Li Shimin knew very well that Hou Junji was also considered a brave general, so why did he hear that he was very easy to die?
Li Shimin felt it was incredible and couldn't help but say, "Come and try it out with the war horse and horse spear."
"How to try?" Xue Rengui widened his eyes and said, "It's going to kill someone after trying."
Li Shimin looked at Xue Rengui with contempt: "You think I am Hou Junji and stab me."
"This... the general dared not." Xue Rengui felt that the emperor might have been a little confused, which was really puzzled.
Li Shimin frowned: "What are you talking about? Do you think I am not as good as Hou Junji?"
Xue Rengui thought for a while and said, "I am afraid of killing the monarch."
The word "regicide" made Li Shimin both angry and funny, and he suddenly became a little angry. Who am I? I am Li Shimin, a god general. How can you say this?
Chen Zhengtai winked at Xue Rengui: "Third brother, third brother, just try it..."
After saying that, he kept blinking at Xue Rengui.
Chen Zhengtai knew Li Shimin's character very well, and was humble and arrogant. Modesty was his surface, and he kept words like me worse than someone every day. However, he was extremely proud in his heart, probably with a look. I was the best in the world, so you can compete for the second place yourself.
When Xue Rengui said such words at this time, it was clearly arousing His Majesty.
If it were me, of course I would agree on the surface. Then I used a little bit of strength to stab him with a horse spear, and then it was easily resolved by Li Shimin. Then Li Shimin laughed and said a few words that were good and powerful. This not only made His Majesty happy, but also showed His Majesty's level.
Seeing that Chen Zhengtai winked at him, Xue Rengui had to say, "Then I'm here to try it. Your Majesty must be careful. The horse spear has no eyes."
After saying that, he immediately went back to find his horse and horse lance.
Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "Young men nowadays like to talk big. Looking back at the beginning, I had no rivals in the world, and there was no general in the world."
Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "Your Majesty must give in to his third brother. He is brainless and does not know the world is high."
Li Shimin nodded: "Don't worry, I can't hurt his life, I just polish his spirit."
Chen Zhengtai was relieved. As long as both sides had the intention of letting go, this was an exhibition match!
He was even quite happy and waited happily to watch the fun.
After a while, Xue Rengui was coming with a horse spear in one hand and riding his iron armored horse.
At this time, Xue Rengui was wearing armor all over his body and rode on the iron armored horse. His heroic posture was full of energy and awe-inspiring.
Seeing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he said with great spirit: "Interesting, interesting, come, come and take my horse spear. Xue Rengui, you are young and have made great contributions this time, but today, if you can walk in front of me, I will make you the Duke of the State."
Xue Rengui muttered something, as if saying, "My credit should have been granted the title of Duke."
Li Shimin didn't hear it very clearly, but he felt that the young man had nothing good to say.
Then he heard Xue Rengui say loudly again: "I remember the general."
Li Shimin immediately said, "Let me use your method of dealing with Hou Junji."
Xue Rengui stopped talking, but instead pulled his horse to the distance, warmed up with his horse spear and said, "Your Majesty, be careful."
Li Shimin laughed: "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."
Of course, the meaning of this is that a cow is a cow, and only I am a tiger.
But at this moment, suddenly, Xue Rengui began to strangle his horse and started running slowly in the distance, but did not immediately get close to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin also began to slowly pull the horse, holding the horse spear in his hand tightly. Li Shimin hadn't felt this way for a long time.
He felt that he was born into a battlefield, and only at this time did he realize his existence.
The only drawback is that my body is already a little old and my fat is already growing.
But even so, he still felt infinite power surge out of his body.
So, a tiger's eye...
The two of them surrounded the vast land and circled each other with vigilance. Their horses became faster and faster. After that, the two horses began to speed up.
At this time, Xue Rengui shouted: "Who is coming!"
Li Shimin thought this guy was thrusting his head.
But at this time, Xue Rengui was already rushing towards him with a fast-moving iron-armored horse.
The horse's speed was like a whirlwind.
Li Shimin was very excited and raised his horse's spear and rushed towards him.
He had already set up a horse spear, just waiting for each other to approach, and then agitated.
But then, just a few feet away, Xue Rengui suddenly pulled his horse, and the war horse neighed in pain, and later people stood up.
Xue Rengui stood up with the horse, and his whole body was condescending. At this time... the muscles wrapped in the armor seemed to be tense to the extreme, but the horse spear in his hand flew out like lightning.
The horse spear is too fast.
It was almost time for Li Shimin to notice something strange and wanted to do something, but found that everything was too late.
This horse spear stabbed from a high place, which was exactly what Li Shimin had in his weakness.
Li Shimin subconsciously wanted to resist.
But at this time, the horse spear, like a meteor, had already broken through the sky.
laugh…
Before Li Shimin could react, the horse spear had already stroked against Li Shimin's face.
In this blink of an eye, Li Shimin suddenly felt numb.
Another crisp sound.
He turned around and the horse spear that was one inch away from his face was cut by his head, but it had pierced into the land behind him. The entire horse spear was almost buried in the soil, leaving only a small piece of the spear rod.
“…”
