Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

As soon as Wang De finished reading what Li Shen had written, he heard a thud and an old minister fainted to the ground in anger. Li Shimin quickly asked someone to carry him down and call the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

The atmosphere in the court became a little strange. Prince Ji's mouth was really poisonous. He was able to make an old minister faint with rage.

At this moment, Li Shen was indifferent to the affairs of the court. He concentrated on studying the clipper ship in the palace, relying on some memories from later generations.

In fact, Li Shen had never built a ship. He just knew a little more than people of his generation, so it took him and several shipbuilding craftsmen and carpenters more than half a month to build a one-meter-long model.

Today, Li Shen took the sailboat model to the dock to prepare for experiments and check the progress of the dock.

The dock is quite far from Chang'an, and it takes more than an hour to get there. Li Shen asked the shipbuilder to ride in a carriage with him so that he could discuss the ship's insufficient expenses on the road.

After discussing all the way, we finally arrived at the dock. This is the intersection of two rivers. The river is wide and deep, suitable for shipbuilding.

After Li Shen checked the progress, he called a fishing boat to sail to the middle of the river. Several guards carried the model and carefully lowered it into the water.

After Li Shen adjusted the sail, the guard let go, and the model flew out like arrow feathers at a very fast speed. Li Shen ordered to follow to check the stability. The model moved quickly on the river, with ups and downs, and the wind on the river had no effect on the model ship.

"Your Majesty, we succeeded." A shipbuilder on the side said excitedly. This ship was something he had never seen before. But according to his experience, the speed will definitely be very fast, and now it just confirms his idea.

"Yeah. The hull is still a little unstable and needs to be modified. The mast needs to be a little higher. Okay, bring the model back and you can improve the rest by yourself.

Then when the dock is built, you can build one and have a look. I have already ordered the wood to be purchased from the south, and it is all high-quality iron wood. "After Li Shen finished speaking, the guards pulled the rope behind the model and pulled the model back.

After returning to the shore, Li Shen asked the craftsmen to look at what needed improvement. After all, they were all experts in the past. They knew the requirements of the shipyard very well, and Li Shen took the model back to the palace.

On the way back, Li Shen was looking at the model and thinking about what areas needed improvement. There was a bang as something hit the carriage. Then there was a continuous banging sound.

A guard shouted from outside, "There are assassins protecting the prince."

Li Shen looked out through the gap and saw hundreds of masked men in black coming up from all around. All of them are uniform knives.

"Surround the carriage. Take turns with crossbows." Li Shen's current guard commander is named Li Tieniu. His father died in the battle with Li Shimin, leaving an orphan and widowed mother living in poverty.

After Li Shen went to Huangzhuang, he gave his family a monthly allowance. Because Li Tieniu had to work as a guard and his family had no labor, Li Shen gave him a monthly allowance, which was several times more than farming in a year.

Later, Li Tieniu succeeded Xue Rengui as the commander of the guards. Li Tieniu was born with supernatural powers and learned martial arts from Xue Rengui. Li Shen even sent him to Qin Qiong's house to learn martial arts for the first half of the year.

Li Tieniu has a simple and honest personality, and will do whatever Li Shen asks him to do, and he is absolutely loyal to Li Shen.

"What's going on with Tieniu?" Li Shen was a little confused about the situation.

"Your Majesty has assassins. Six or seven hundred people. Your Majesty, don't come out. They have bows and arrows." Li Tieniu said across the carriage.

"Tieniu, are you stupid? We are cavalry. Don't fight them in a tough battle. Send thirty guards to me on horseback. They can't resist me without armor." Li Tieniu is good at everything but his brain is not flexible enough.

Li Shen spent so much money to feed these fifty cavalry. Is it possible that it was all in vain? The armor is made of fine steel, including the horses, which are all chainmail. It is difficult for them to cut through this armor.

Especially in this day and age. Cavalry is equivalent to armored vehicles. Why can a few thousand prairie cavalry defeat tens of thousands of infantry? Why Genghis Khan was able to trample Europe.

"It's the prince." Li Tieniu immediately followed what Li Shen said. Arrange for thirty cavalry to rush in the direction with fewer people to speed up. After rushing out, increase your speed and turn around to rush towards the crowded place.

More than 100 people were killed in one round, and the horses kept turning around to kill them. This was Professor Li Jing's cavalry speed. In addition, the guards inside dismounted and fought in close combat, using their horses as cover, relying on strong armor and sharp Tang knives.

The situation was instantly turned around. Especially Li Tieniu, Li Shen Iron Art made him a big sword. One foot wide and two meters long. The handle of the knife is only one foot long, suitable for holding the knife with both hands, and there is an animal skin noose at the end to cover the hand to prevent it from falling out.

The martial arts skills learned by Li Tieniu and Qin Qiong were greatly improved. When he rushed into the crowd, seven or eight people were cut away in a circle. Seeing that the number of men in black was gradually decreasing, Li Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, countless arrow feathers flew out from the woods on both sides of the road. Both the men in black and Li Shen's guards and carriages were within attack range.

"Defense!" Li Tieniu retreated to the carriage and blocked his vital parts with a knife. A clanging sound was accompanied by screams. Almost all of the remaining 100 or so men in black were shot to death. Those who were not dead were also lying on the ground struggling.

Fortunately, Li Shen's carriage had been remodeled. It looked wooden on the outside, but it was made of a layer of fine steel on the inside. It's two fingers thick, so Li Shen's carriages all use strong horse-drawn carriages.

After two rounds of arrows, five or six hundred cavalry rushed out from the woods on both sides. Li Shen knew at a glance that they were the cavalry troops of the Tang Dynasty, and they were all wearing the standard equipment of the Tang Dynasty.

"Daniu, we have a carriage and they can't charge. Let people guard the carriage and set off flares." Li Shen knew that it would be scary for the cavalry to charge. With the carriage as a support, they could only fight a tough battle.

Li Tieniu took out three bamboo tubes from his pocket. This is a signal flare developed by Li Shen in recent years. To put it bluntly, they are just like fireworks.

Li Shen has never found the best formula for gunpowder, but making a signal flare doesn't require much power. Li Tieniu took out a flint, lit a bamboo tube and raised it above his head.

Just listen to the sound of "chirp~~~~bang~~~~" in the air and spread far away. Li Tieniu then played another "Chirp~~~~Bang~~~~" and saved the last one for a while before placing it again.

This was something Li Shen had been taught beforehand, and he could only hear sounds during the day. I can't see the color clearly so I need to position it.

"They sent a signal. Kill them all quickly." A faceless general wearing armor shouted.

"Kill. Kill." The sound of killing around the carriage was loud. The guards of the palace tried their best to resist, and only managed to block it with weapons. However, it is conceivable that as time passes, their physical strength will be exhausted, and Li Shen will be in danger by then.
