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

The winter in the northwest is still so beautiful. The biting cold of minus 15 degrees is just a number. With the sun shining, it is still so warm.

There is a camp in a mountain col, built against the mountain to block the cold wind.

"Captain, it's getting colder and colder today. There shouldn't be any caravans passing by."

"It's hard to say. Ordinary caravans may not be able to do so, but the same cannot be said for the aristocratic caravans. We must completely block this line."

The person who answered was Zhao Tiejun, the vice-captain of Sharp Blade. Although he was only the vice-captain, he had a higher rank and was equivalent to the commander of the bodyguards.

This time, he led the team to carry out the task assigned by Li Shen. Not long after arriving here, there was a moderate snowfall.

Coupled with the wind here, they really suffered a lot.

"Captain, this cotton coat sent by the palace is really useful. Not only can it resist the wind, the most important thing is to keep warm. My brothers are very hot during training."

One of the adjutants touched his clothes.

"Of course, when did the prince give us bad things? The ones we use as guards are all military grade, and the ones we sell are civilian ones." Zhao Tiejun held up the big cotton hat on his head.

This cotton coat, cotton trousers, cotton hat, cotton shoes, and cotton gloves completely wrapped the whole body. The most feared thing in winter combat is holding weapons, and this time we even have gloves.

Moreover, this body is made of leather, which can withstand the cold wind very well. The only drawback is that it cannot wear armor.

"Report~~~ Captain, there is a large group of people fifteen miles north, with six or seven hundred carriages alone. They should be coming from the pass." At this time, a sharp-edged team member ran over.

This time the sharp blade is mainly responsible for reconnaissance missions.

"North, that's right. They came from the checkpoint. These people are so audacious. How dare they smuggle?"

Zhao Tiejun immediately knew that it was a smuggling caravan, and it should normally come from the east.

"How many guards do they have?" Zhao Tiejun asked again

"About a thousand or so."

"Send the order, gather immediately and prepare to set off. Let's go to the front to intercept them."

After a noisy gathering, a thousand guards flew away.

In a convoy fifteen miles away, a group of people were heading westward in the strong wind.

"Why is it so windy in this damn weather?" One of the guards complained. Although they wore warm clothes, they could not withstand the biting cold wind. His hands and face were red from the cold.

"If everyone keeps holding on, we will reach our trading location in seventy miles, and then we can go back with the money.

This trip is worth two months' wages. A little bitterness is normal. "The commander of the guards cheered everyone up.

They didn't know how many times they had walked this road. I rarely walk in winter.

"Shopkeeper, do you think there are no barbarians robbing us here?" a waiter asked.

"No, I have walked this road many times, and they are very familiar with us. And this time our family walked together just to have someone to take care of them. The next few batches will be the same as us."

They were the vanguard this time and only transported [-] shi of grain. It will be shipped out one after another later. The price this time is much higher than before.

"Captain and the others are here."

"Have you remembered what I just said? Our horses are better than theirs. Don't fight forcefully. Use the light riding safari method and shoot them from a distance. I don't want any casualties this time.

This is a test for you. Judging from the size, it should be a caravan belonging to an aristocratic family. General Xue said that the prince is kind-hearted and we can help handle this kind of thing. No one should run away, do you understand? "

"understood."

"Okay, attack."

The ground began to shake with a bang, and the leader of the family was immediately alert.

"There is a large group of cavalry, ready to fight."

Soon they saw a group of tightly packed cavalry running over. . ,

It’s just that the clothes don’t look like those of the Tang Dynasty. Somewhat like Hufu.

The shopkeeper wanted to go forward to negotiate, but before he could speak, a wave of arrow feathers came towards him.

"Puff puff"

"ah" "ah" "ah" "ah"

As soon as they came down, there were countless casualties.

Their total number is less than 3000.

The guards of the palace began to circle around the convoy and shoot, and the people of the noble family also began to use the carriage as a cover. However, because of the unexpected incident, they failed to complete the fortifications.

There are people shooting wherever you hide. Seeing this, the guards of the noble family also organized their cavalry to fight with them, but the guards of the palace turned around and ran away, and the guards on both sides continued to shoot you.

In a short time, there were only 400 people left in the field.

This is the advantage of the equipment. The Wangfu's bow has a range of more than 30 steps further than theirs. Horses are faster than them and have good endurance.

This is just like the battlefield in Iraq, where a small team of US troops can fight hundreds of people.

"Who are you?" the family's guard leader yelled angrily.

"There is no need for a dead person to know." Zhao Tiejun shouted

The guard commander of the noble family also made a prompt decision.

"Spread out and run away. If you can get out one by one, go back and report to the family."

"Disperse the pursuit and come to meet us with a leader." Zhao Tiejun also gave the order.

Groups of small and large groups began to pursue them, but it was all in vain. How could their horses outrun the palace's war horses?

Li Shen's hundreds of thousands of dollars a year were not in vain. Everyone who ran out was caught up and shot.

"Clean the battlefield, pull the horses back to eat, and bury the dead with snow to prevent them from being discovered. The messenger immediately notifies the caravan at the pass to come to the camp to meet them. The sharp blade continues its exploration mission."

After the battle, Zhao Tiejun began to issue orders to clean up the battlefield. After all the work was over, the place became calm again,

Only the blood on the ground will remind others of the tragic battles that took place here, but soon these bloodstains will be covered up by the wind and snow.

Zhao Tiejun led his team to escort hundreds of carts of supplies back to the camp. Soon the royal palace's caravan will send people to pick up these supplies.

Then they are transported back to the granary in Yizhou to wait for their next owner.

Li Shen is very distressed now. Since returning from the palace, he always feels that these maids look at him like a spider spirit looks at Tang Monk.

Especially Wu Mei, who is inherently charming and charming. Coupled with the seductive eyes, Li Shen suddenly felt bad.

Should he find a few apprentices to protect him? He doesn't have Tang Seng's determination.

He even thought about going to Sun Simiao to ask for a prescription for health. Otherwise the cow like him might die of exhaustion.

Isn’t it said in later generations that there are only exhausted cows and no damaged land? The more the land is plowed, the fatter it becomes, and the more plowed the cattle are, the thinner they become.
