Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

"King Chu?"

Xue Wanche was startled when he heard this, and then his expression changed drastically: "General... this... this..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Chai Shao had no time to worry about this anymore. He looked at the black armored army who had launched another charge under the city, and immediately ordered: "Xue Wanche, I order you to take the two thousand cavalry troops in the city. Let’s go with this Zhuzi first...” Chai Shao paused and then said: “Meet with the King of Chu. I will take the remaining infantry out of the city to meet him later.”

In fact, as a city defender, relying on the advantage of the terrain, it is often possible to withstand a large number of enemy attacks with a relatively small number of troops.

Therefore, although there were only two thousand cavalry under his command, Chai Shaoda did not care much about the Turkic attack from the beginning. Even if the wall of Shuofang City was not relatively short, only about two feet high, he would have planned to use part of it. The cavalry went out of the city to harass the Turks, instead of staying in the city and roaming around, ready to fill the gap if the enemy accidentally opened it.

But now, all these arrangements have to be cancelled.

In the eyes of outsiders, the King of Chu who committed suicide outside the city was reckless, but he was also brave. But for him, Chai Shao, that was his late wife, Princess Pingyang Zhao, and his favorite nephew.

——If Chai Shao lets Li Kuan get into trouble in front of him today, there is no need for His Majesty Li Er to blame him, and there is no need for the Supreme Emperor to be angry. He will have to find a place to wipe his neck!

"Wei!" Xue Wanche didn't waste any words. After receiving the order, he immediately strode down the city and began to gather his cavalry troops to prepare for battle out of the city.

On the other side, with Li Kuan's order, the pioneer became Dou Shilun. This "civilian" who easily suppressed Yeon Gaesumun at first, after taking over Jiang Qu's position, he danced the horse pole wide open. In Dahe, no matter who is coming to kill in front, they will all retreat the enemy with one move. Occasionally, one "sweeps the entire army", which is really like a tornado mowing grass. Large numbers of Turks have fallen to the ground before they get close.

"Fire arrows!" Ashina Simo seemed to have finally realized that close combat was not a good one, and began to order his men to fire arrows.

But... after a round of arrows, the heavily armed enemies had some white marks on their bodies, and occasionally some unlucky ones lost their horses, but this did not cause much hindrance. The previous two rounds of confrontations , Li Kuan's troops had already captured a large number of war horses, most of which were driven by one person and two riders. Therefore, in this case, the Black Armored Army, whose mounts were injured, could only choose two convenient weapons again and change horses. Just fight again.

As a result, the offensive of this black-armored army was not greatly affected. On the contrary, the Turks suffered another morale blow after the Golden Wolf Flag was shot down.

At this time, the gates of Shuofang City in the distance were also wide open. Xue Wanche led his army to break through the first line of defense composed of the Turkic cavalry attacking the city, and began to charge towards the Turkic army head-on.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Turkic arrows fell like raindrops mixed with the sound of wind. Yuan Tiangang, who had been protecting Li Kuan, rode his horse to his right. As a new retainer of the King of Chu, Yuan Daochang was not wearing armor at this time. , but still waved the long sword in his hand immediately, constantly separating the long arrows shooting at himself and Li Kuan.

"Good guy, you want to play me too?!" Li Kuan stared at Yuan Tiangang, who danced the long sword so tightly with his eyes wide open. He felt inexplicably that the two blows this guy received from him in the Tai Chi Hall were more or less incomprehensible. It's a bit like "a tiger falling in peace".

"Your Highness, be careful!" Yuan Tiangang's face was serious at this time. He was no longer as reserved or timid as before: "The Turks' arrow array is very dense, so don't overdo it."

"What are you afraid of?!" At this moment, Li Kuan's hands were sore and weak, and it was difficult to hold the reins, so he raised his chin and motioned Yuan Tiangang to look towards the high slope in the north: "Look at what that is? !”

As his voice fell, a group of people suddenly appeared on the high slope behind, numbering nearly a thousand. They were all dressed in black clothes and covered their faces with black scarves. But what was more eye-catching was the fact that each of them held a hand holding a The one with the exaggerated shape of the crossbow.

The crossbow arm is nearly four feet open, equipped with a pulley to save effort, and the black crossbow arrows are obviously thicker and longer than ordinary bows and arrows, which are enough to show what a terrifying murder weapon this is.

"That's... the improved big yellow crossbow?!" Jiang Qu, as a veteran of hundreds of battles, could see the extraordinary power of the strong crossbow at a glance. Of course, he was also shocked that His Highness the King of Chu actually pulled him closer without making a sound. Thousands of crossbowmen can be thought of all the arrangements the old lady made for His Royal Highness the King of Chu during her lifetime...

To be honest, Jiang Qu didn't think he would be surprised when Chai Shao said that he was a retainer of King Chu.

At this time, the black armored army led by Li Kuan had barely broken out of the center of the Turkic army and was running towards the northern slopes.

"Everyone, put away your weapons, lower your head, ride your horse, and just charge forward!" Li Kuan ordered again. He could see that even though all of them were brave and good at fighting, they would inevitably start to lose their strength after several charges. , so seeing that most of the troops had gradually entered the range of the big yellow crossbow, Li Kuan no longer hid his strength.

Start secretly ordering the Shadow Assassin to start shooting!

"Whoa!" After a dense rain of arrows, Dou Shilun, who was opening the way, realized that a large area around him was suddenly cleared. He looked at the people on the ground who all hit the throat or heart with one blow, and some even The Turkic man was hit by two or three arrows in his vital parts at the same time. Dou Shilun couldn't help but his eyebrows jumped wildly: No... I was still thinking about why the old lady didn't leave too many crossbowmen. Was it because I was afraid that my grandson would expand his ambitions in the future? Bringing trouble, daring to love this is just because you think too much?

Did the old lady give the person to the owner in advance?

Thus, a beautiful misunderstanding was born.

In fact, the reason why Queen Taimu did not leave too many crossbowmen for her grandchildren was because she thought this was unnecessary, but there was also a hidden reason...

Let’s skip it for now.

"Fire arrows!" Ashina Simo was completely crazy at this moment. Seeing that Xue Wanche and his men were about to kill him on the front battlefield, the elite troops here were already rushing up the northern hillside under the cover of a large number of powerful crossbowmen who suddenly appeared. , he knew that maybe he might really have to explain himself here today.

Because of the opponent's posture, it was clear that after a short rest, they would find the right time to cooperate with Xue Wanche's frontal charge and go down the mountain again. Then the two groups continued to rush back and forth among the Turkic army and make the sign of "ten", like plowing a field. Cut the Turkic army into small pieces, and then cooperate with the follow-up to catch up with the defenders of Shuofang City, devour them, and finally devour them in one bite!
