Datang: Activate the combat merit system at the beginning

Li Er ignored the changed attitude of the elder Sun Wuji, and said with a straight face:
"My lords, Wei Hao and other recruits dared to risk being punished by the court and being killed by the enemy at any time, and still rush to help Dingxiang.

If the imperial court punishes such virtuous and brave men, how will they face the subjects of the world? "

"If you want to pursue responsibility, I am also responsible, the court is also responsible, and all the ministers present are also responsible."

The faces of the ministers changed.

"It's me, it's the imperial court that didn't issue an order in time."

Li Er said sharply.

"It's also because you didn't inform me of the Monan War in the first place."

Hearing this, the minister who had just clamored to severely punish Wei Hao and other recruits immediately lowered his head.

"Just now someone asked me to pursue the responsibility of negligence of duty on the relevant people. If I pursue it, I am afraid that all the border generals bordering Monan will inevitably accept the punishment of dereliction of duty."

Li Er ignored the reactions of those ministers and continued to speak sharply.

"Li Simo asked for support from the border gate of the Tang Dynasty, and many border guards naturally knew that Dingxiang was in danger before the court."

"Monan has been governed by our Tang Dynasty. Even if the border guards have not received the imperial court's order, they should immediately send troops to help!"

"Xue Yan people's invasion of Monan is their invasion of Tang Dynasty. All border guards can't just sit idly by!"

"Nowadays, Wei Hao and other recruits regard the soldiers and civilians of Monan and the subjects of Monan as their own, and risk their lives to help them. They deserve support, not punishment!"

"Someone wants me to punish Wei Hao and the others. If I agree, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty, and the hearts of all foreign nations who are dependent on me!"

Speaking of the latter, Li Er seemed a little excited.

"Yes! Those recruits cannot be punished!"

"That's right, even though Wei Hao and other recruits send troops privately, it's justifiable!"

"Yes, you can't chill the hearts of all the people in the world!"

"Wei Hao and other new recruits can't be punished, but rewarded!"

"To be honest, I admire this man named Wei Hao!"

"I suggest that if Wei Hao and others return safely to the pass, the court should reward them..."

Many ministers said emotionally.

Especially some generals, with excitement in their words.

Wei Zheng is used to not being able to see anything, and he would advise Li Er if he didn't like it.

Many of his previous admonitions were affirmed by Li Er and praised by many ministers.

I didn't expect to hit a snag this time.

A look of embarrassment flashed across his face, he coughed twice, and stepped back.

"My Great Tang soldiers should learn from Wei Hao and other recruits, dare to show their swords against the enemy, and dare to take the initiative to protect all foreign countries that belong to my Great Tang!"

Li Er glanced at the ministers and spoke again.

"Let all the people in the world know that if you belong to Datang, if you encounter danger, our officers and soldiers will definitely not sit idly by!"

……

After a day.

Monan.

In the Xueyan Khanate military camp.

Dadu Society learned from the spies that the Tang army did not kill them.

He knew he had been tricked, and was furious.

Thinking of being able to capture Li Simo alive just one step away, he stamped his feet and beat his chest with regret.

When he knew that Li Simo was leading the remaining remnants of Dingxiang City towards Yanmen Pass, he immediately led an army of [-] to pursue them.

He gave an order that if they chased Li Simo and the others, they would be killed on the spot without leaving any survivors.

The soldiers of the Xue Yan Khanate screamed, vowing to slaughter Li Simo and everyone who followed him.

Wei Hao led the crowd towards Yanmen Pass non-stop.

However, among those who followed him, there were many wounded soldiers and ordinary people.

These people couldn't walk fast, which greatly slowed down the itinerary.

Wei Hao at this moment has become the backbone of this special team.

Seeing that Li Simo listened to Wei Hao in everything, the other generals put down their dignity and were willing to accept Wei Hao's leadership even though their military ranks were higher than Wei Hao's.

Seeing that the team was not moving fast, Wei Hao personally led the recruits who were with him, as well as some soldiers in Dingxiang City.

"Report!"

Lei Wu, who was on guard from behind, galloped forward.

"Boss, there is a group of Xue Yan light cavalry behind, and they are galloping here!"

"How many people?"

Wei Hao frowned, but quickly returned to normal.

"About 1000 people."

"How far is it from here?"

"Less than fifty miles."

Wei Hao said "um" thoughtfully, and glanced at the soldiers in front of him.

"We passed a mountain col before, five miles away, which is very suitable for ambushes."

Wei Hao said in a deep voice.

"Listen to the order, all officers and men, follow me to ambush the chasing cavalry, and absolutely not let them catch up with the team in front, otherwise the common people and wounded soldiers will be in danger!"

"promise!"

The crowd responded.

Without any hesitation.

Including newly joined soldiers.

In their minds, Wei Hao has a certain charm that people have to cling to.

Perhaps, Wei Hao was born with the courage to lead the army.

In less than a moment.

Wei Hao led more than 100 people to ambush on the side of a mountain slope.

The hillside here is not high, but hiding more than 100 people is not a problem.

Not long after, there were bursts of rapid hoofbeats.

Some cavalry began to enter the col.

These cavalry came lightly, riding Mobei's best horses, and they were extremely fast.

With their speed, they will soon catch up with Li Simo and his army and civilians.

Although they are not many in number, if they are caught up, they will naturally slow down their speed back to Yanmen Pass due to entanglement, causing Xue Yan's army to chase after them.

Wei Hao understands this truth, and must destroy this Xue Yan cavalry here.

Even if they can't be completely wiped out, they must be prevented from moving forward.

This Xue Yan cavalry only cared about galloping forward, and did not pay attention to whether there was an ambush.

From their point of view, Li Simo and the others were determined to flee back to Datang Pass at this time, and they would never leave any soldiers behind for an ambush.

Seeing the enemy army entering the mountain pass, Wei Hao took off the Overlord Bow from his back.

The Overlord Bow in his hand was stretched like a full moon, and the silver-feathered arrow hit the bowstring.

Nearly a thousand Xue Yan cavalry entered the mountain depression.

One hundred feet!

Fifty feet!
Twenty feet!
"call out!"

The sound of the silver-feathered arrow piercing the air was drawn out!
"what!"

With screams, a cavalryman fell to the ground with an arrow!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Next up!

Other soldiers in ambush also shot arrows with carved feathers on the strings.

Hundreds of sharp arrows shot down like raindrops!

The enemy cavalry in the col fell to the ground with arrows.

Many cavalrymen who were not hit by the eagle feather arrows were frightened and instinctively rode their horses to rush out of the col.

but!
In panic, the horses sat down and collided with each other, making a mess.

"Don't panic! Don't panic!"

A fierce-looking cavalry commander hurriedly shouted.

The cavalry calmed down and rushed out of the col under the leadership of their respective centurions.

After three rounds of arrow rain, Wei Hao rode his horse and raised his saber, rushing towards him like a gust of wind.

one person!
a ride!
A knife!

Wei Hao immediately blocked the exit of the col with a horizontal knife.

war!
The three-pointed and two-edged knife danced in Wei Hao's hand!

kill!

Xue Yan cavalry shouted!

Faced with one person and one rider blocking the way, they naturally ignored it.

The "war spirit" in Wei Hao's body is manic and restless, full of powerful fighting spirit!

"drive!"

Wei Hao charged back and forth with his horse!
