Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Fifty guards from the palace surrounded the carriage. The horse pulling the carriage had been shot to death. Fortunately, there were two low pillars in front of the carriage, which supported the carriage.

Although there were many people on the other side, the carriage was only so big that those outside the circle could not get in. In addition, the guards' desperate fighting style without any defense, relying on their strong armor to attack the opponent, made the other side fearful, and for a while the other side also became intimidated. There is no way to break through the defense.

Li Shen also lowered the iron plates on the door and windows, leaving only a small hole. He opened the car floor and took out a composite crossbow from the bottom of the car, and shot at the people outside through the small hole. Li Shen only shoots those who command, and shoots whoever speaks. If one shot fails, shoot a few more.

People often realize their potential only when they are most in danger. After all, Li Shen had experienced it for decades. Although he was scared inside, he was not nervous. The worst he could do was die again.

The two sides were in a stalemate for two quarters of an hour, and Li Tieniu fired a third flare.

"Daniu told the brothers that the reinforcements will be here soon. This place is very close to the Dongshan Military Camp, and Rengui will definitely come soon. Let everyone hold on, I will give you a big reward later." Li Shen was also a little panicked now.

Unexpectedly, there were even government soldiers. I thought they were the dead soldiers at the beginning. It seems that there will be more guards in the future. Time passed the slowest at the critical moment of life and death, and there were not many crossbow arrows left in Li Shen's car. It felt like hours passed to him.

In fact, they had only been there for a quarter of an hour, but the guards were blocked in front by their horses, and all fifty horses were already dead.

But the corpse became an obstacle, but even so, there were still more than a dozen casualties among the guards. This was thanks to the fact that the full-body armor provided by Li Shen was made of fine steel. Although it was heavy, it was extremely hard. Otherwise, these 50 people would have died long ago.

Li Shen was also very anxious at this time. He had never experienced this in his previous life. Although there was an assassination last time and the situation was very critical, Li Shimin was the backbone at that time, and he is the backbone this time.

Calculating the time, it should be here. It is only more than ten miles away from Dongshan Military Camp. Li Shen was just thinking when he heard a roar in the distance, like thousands of troops and horses, and dust was flying from far to near.

"Whoever dares to assassinate the prince should be killed by me."

When Li Shen heard this voice, he wanted to say "I love you". What it means to survive a disaster, what it means to be ecstatic, were clearly reflected in Li Shen's heart at this time.

The person who just shouted was Xue Rengui, who was training in the military camp. The guard on guard ran over and said there was a strange noise in the northwest sky.

Only Li Shen's personal guards knew about the flare, so they didn't know what it was. The northwest is within the limits of Chang'an City, so I came here to report.

When Xue Rengui heard this, he immediately remembered that it was Li Shen's distress signal, and immediately summoned the cavalry to quickly change their equipment and set off. This reflects the benefits of daily training, rapid mobility.

By the time he saw the third signal flare, Xue Rengui had already walked halfway.

Xue Rengui led the cavalry battalion to the front quickly. There was no nonsense at all. The cavalry did not stop and directly collided with these cavalry.

Xue Rengui divided his troops into two teams, one team inserted directly into the middle to protect Li Shen's carriage, and the other team wandered around the outside to surround and kill.

"Tell them to surrender without killing, throw away their weapons, dismount and surrender. Otherwise, they will all die." Li Shen was determined when he saw Xue Rengui coming over, and he finally escaped. Then he wanted to catch him alive and ask who wanted to kill him.

"Surrender, don't kill. Surrender, don't kill" all the guards shouted over and over again. Seeing that the situation was not good, the leading general yelled for retreat and rushed out first.

"Rengui, catch this man alive. I want to see who wants my life." Seeing that the leader was about to run away, Li Shen immediately asked Xue Rengui to chase him.

Seeing the leader running away, the others also fled in all directions on horseback.

"Take the squad as a unit and capture all these people. I will kill all those who resist and bring them back. I will see them dead or their corpses." Li Shen ordered Zhao Dahu again.

"obey"

The cavalry immediately took orders to disperse and pursue.

Li Shen knew that these people couldn't escape at all, and the horses in Li Shen's cavalry camp were all good. It is different from the horses of the local government soldiers. It didn't take long for Xue Rengui to bring back the leading general, both men and horses, but he was knocked unconscious.

Xue Rengui began to arrange for people to bandage the wounds of the injured guards. Two people's arms were lost, three others were seriously injured, and seven people were killed in the battle, all caused by being pushed down by the crowd. Li Shen trembled with distress when he saw that there were more than a dozen casualties among the guards.

These people have been following Li Shen for several years. Their food, drink, weapons, equipment and horses are the best in the whole palace. They only train in one mode every day, which is to protect Li Shen.

"Your Majesty, this is what they should do. As bodyguards, it is their honor to die in battle for the Prince. They are already very lucky. If it weren't for the armor that the Prince spent a lot of money to build, no one here would survive." Xue Rengui followed. Li Shen spent the longest time and could see that Li Shen felt sorry for the guards.

"Rengui, I know. But they have been with me for so many years, and I feel guilty. It's all for me." Li Shen burst into tears.

As a later generation, Li Shen did not have the consciousness of a superior person, and he had never experienced this kind of fighting. So many people fought passionately to protect him. He sacrificed his life and seriously injured more than a dozen people. How could this not be touching?

Li Tieniu on the side was even more moved when he saw this. A prince shed tears for several guards, which proved that the prince was really good to them.

So he said from the side: "Your Majesty, don't be sad. Your Majesty has been very kind to us. Your current life is brought about by your Majesty. Our Imperial Village is the richest village near Chang'an. Children can study and adults can work."

Nowadays, there are no unmarried adult men in our village, and some even have concubines. Even the women in our village are now picky and most people don't marry.

This is all given by the prince. My mother-in-law said, let me protect the prince. Even if I die, the prince will take care of my family."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is what we should do." A guard with a broken arm stood up.

"Quickly, don't stand up and it will bleed again. Don't worry, you can go back and recover from your injuries. When the time comes, you will come back to be my bodyguard. The same goes for you. When your injuries are healed, you will come back and be my bodyguards. I trust you." Li Shen said while crying. He was really moved by these simple people. There was nothing like this in his previous life.

The cavalry who went out to pursue them also came back one after another. Everyone was brought back, dead or alive, and Li Tieniu selected a few new horses to hitch to Li Shen's carriage.

"Send someone to take the injured guards and the guards who died in the battle back to the Imperial Mansion. I will go there personally for the follow-up compensation. Leave some people to clean the battlefield and take the dead horses back to eat. The equipment is put on other horses. Put the body and the body on the horses, and we will return to Chang'an City." Li Shen got on the carriage.

This time, more than 200 people and 300 living horses were captured. In addition, the horses of the cavalry battalion dragged the equipment and thousands of corpses of these people, and followed Li Shen's carriage slowly towards Chang'an. Li Shen decided to interrogate him personally. He must find out who wanted to kill him, and he must give an explanation to the guards who died in the battle.
