I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Just as the battle was getting intense, suddenly a carriage made a loud clicking sound as if it had been hit by something.

Then a spear came out and flew towards Li Shimin.

Li An, with quick eyes and quick hands, leaped from his horse to the front of Li Shimin and unfolded the briefcase and shield in his hand.

With a loud "Bang!", Li An flew out and fell to the ground with Li Shimin.

"Protect Your Majesty!" Li An didn't forget to shout when he landed.

"No, the other party has a heavy crossbow." Qin Qiong shouted and stood in front of Li Shimin.

But Bai Qisi moved faster. Seven or eight people opened the backpack shields of Prince Ji's Mansion and surrounded Li Shimin.

"I have disturbed your majesty, please punish me." Li An stood up and saluted quickly.

Li Shimin waved his hand,

"Not guilty."

Wang De also quickly stepped forward to help Li Shimin sort out the dust on his clothes.

Li Shimin's hands were trembling a little, and he was really shocked just now.

If it weren't for Li An, he would have been penetrated by a spear right now.

He glanced at the shield on the ground. It was the third-generation defensive shield specially built for him by the traitor.

Now there is a place on it that has sunk in, which shows how strong it was just now.

Looking at the blood at the corner of Li An's mouth, he knew that his internal organs had just been damaged.

It's so dangerous. If it weren't for this shield, even if Li An was standing in front of him, he would still be able to penetrate Li An and shoot him.

"Are you okay?" Li Shimin asked Li An.

"I'm fine." Li An wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He could feel that he had internal injuries. It was hard to say whether his ribs were broken when the entire guard plate hit him just now.

Li Shimin didn't say any more, but looked outside through the gap.

"Uncle Bao, that was not a heavy crossbow, that was a bed crossbow. Why did Tubo have a bed crossbow?" Li Shimin's face looked cold and gloomy at this moment.

It’s not that the Tang Dynasty had never fought against Tubo. The reason why the Tang Dynasty was invincible was because of its equipment and equipment.

He was sure that the powerful crossbow arrows just now were fired by bed crossbows, and Tubo definitely did not have such powerful bed crossbows.

"Your Majesty, I just thought of it, and...and..." Qin Qiong said hesitantly.

"Say!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, and I guess that this bed crossbow is detachable and is very similar to the bed crossbow that the king sent to us a few years ago.

Otherwise, they would not be able to bring such a large crossbow if they were marching in such a hurry. "

Qin Qiong hesitated for a moment before speaking out his guess.

"Are you sure?" After hearing Qin Qiong's words, Li Shimin's eyes flashed.

"Your Majesty, this is also my guess. We won't know until we see it for details. I have seen that kind of bed crossbow."

Qin Qiong didn't dare to speak too harshly, but in fact, he was already inseparable in his heart.

How could a group of cavalry carry such a large crossbow? It must be the kind that can be disassembled.

But if it is true, it means that there is rebellion in the Tang Dynasty.

This is a big deal. Those who have access to the bed crossbow and have the opportunity to deliver the message are definitely not ordinary soldiers.

"Find the location of the bed crossbow immediately. Don't let him keep shooting." Li Shimin gave the order.

Just as he finished speaking, there was another sound of piercing the air, but this time it came from their left side and flew two meters away from them.

There was a "click".

A carriage in the middle was impaled.

"Ah~~~" came a loud cry.

"Your Majesty, this is Concubine Yan De's carriage." Wang De took a look and replied.

"Yeah. Let's see if anyone is injured." Li Shimin hummed expressionlessly.

Soon Wang De came back,

"Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Yan De was not injured, but one of the eunuchs died."

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the sisters get on this carriage." At this moment, Queen Changsun's voice came from the carriage.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I can also bring a few people into my carriage." Concubine Wei also shouted from the carriage.

"Okay, let them enter the two carriages immediately."

Li Shimin nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, another spear flew past them.

"Bang!" hit the carriage where Queen Changsun was sitting, sawdust flew and the carriage shook a few times.

But the spear did not penetrate into it, and only the silver-white metal was exposed in the damaged areas of the carriage, with some dents.

"Guanyin, Guanyin, Guanyin." Seeing this, Li Shimin rushed to the carriage regardless of others.

When she opened the car door, she saw Empress Changsun leaning in a corner, her face a little pale.

"Guanyin, are you hurt?" Li Shimin asked nervously.

"I'm fine, I just got a little frightened. The carriage Shen'er gave to His Majesty is indeed extraordinary. Shen'er is still filial."

Empress Changsun smiled reluctantly and said to reassure Li Shimin that although she was a little scared at this time, she still didn't want to worry Li Shimin.

"What a gift? I spent 400,000 yuan to buy it." Li Shimin was relieved when he saw that Queen Changsun was fine and corrected him.

The traitor also told him that it was the cost price, without any additional service fees or insurance money, and he also received free interior decorations.

In addition to giving him a low-price loan, it's just a bastard.

But today it seems that this car is worth buying.

Li Shimin said no more, Wang De had arranged for several concubines to come over and enter Queen Changsun's carriage, and three others entered Concubine Wei's carriage.

Concubine Wei put down the double-layer steel plate of the car window to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Why is this carriage pulled by two horses? It's just too heavy. Li Shimin's carriage must be pulled by at least four horses.

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has been shot to death, why don't you surrender?"

Suddenly there was a loud roar, and then the Tubo camp began to shout together:

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has been shot to death."

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is dead."

"Surrender quickly."

There was a commotion in front of the right guard. Behind them was a carriage, and they couldn't see what was going on inside. Some people couldn't help but start to look back.

As a result, he was hacked to death by the enemy.

Where Li Shimin was standing, crossbow arrows flew past from time to time. Although they only hit them twice, they were still a great threat.

The Yulin Guards in the inner circle also suffered some casualties.

"Your Majesty, judging from the direction, there are at least eight crossbows on the other side. They are scattered around us." Qin Qiong came over to report.

"Eight fights? Damn it!" Li Shimin clenched his fists.

"Your Majesty, there is a loophole in the peripheral defense." A Yulin guard ran over.

"This won't work, the casualties will be too great."

"Your Majesty, rush out, I will cut off the queen for Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji admonished him again.

"It's useless to rush out. There are so many people on the other side. Even if we rush out, they will bite us to death. What's more..."

Li Shimin glanced at Queen Changsun's carriage.

"According to my military order, the Yulin Guard relied on horse-drawn carriages to defend, and the Tubo casualties were even greater.

Tell the soldiers that I am still alive and will fight with them until the end.

Also tell the soldiers that our reinforcements will be arriving soon. "

Li Shimin finally issued the order.

"Old slave, go." Wang De volunteered at this time, got on his horse, picked up Li Shimin's flag, and started shouting around the inner circle:

"Your Majesty is safe and sound. He is willing to live and die with all the soldiers. Reinforcements will be here soon."

With this shout, all the soldiers began to cheer up.

"Your Majesty is wise." Qin Qiong also had to admire Li Shimin for being able to think of ways to improve morale at this time.

"No, I'm not lying. Reinforcements will arrive soon." Li Shimin said seriously to Qin Qiong and Changsun Wuji.

The two of them were a little confused. They had been with Li Shimin all the time, so they should have known about it even if he was asking for help.

"Why is Your Majesty so sure?"

"Because Concubine Wei is here." Li Shimin curled his lips.

(Sorry, the plot was written a little too hastily and the details were not polished.

Because I checked the information too late, I want to know why there were casualties in ancient times when there were armors.

It turns out that the only truly invulnerable people in ancient times were heavy cavalry, with a suit of armor weighing at least sixty kilograms, and some weighing seventy or eighty kilograms.

The rest are light armor, hard armor, and soft armor.

Light armor and hard armor have poor defense against sharp objects such as spears, bows, and crossbows.

Although soft armor can protect against crossbows, it cannot protect against blunt force impacts.

This may be due to industrial reasons. )
