Datang: Just been appointed as the crown prince, the counterattack system is here

Chapter 159 I am the Black Armor Guard! I only obey the orders of the Crown Prince! [Seeking monthly votes]

its not right!
Why does Li Shimin’s Black Armor Army have so few people?
After being shocked, Jie Li couldn't help but feel suspicious, because in his impression, the Black Armor Army should have thousands of people, definitely not just a few hundred.

"Hmph, you're just being mysterious."

Pursing his lips, Jie Li confidently pointed at the cavalry that appeared behind him.

To be fair, if Li Shimin had led thousands of Black Armored Army here, he might have felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, but this cavalry that looked like the Black Armored Army was clearly not enough for him.

Therefore, when Xue Rengui led his cavalry into the encirclement, he simply ordered a Turkic cavalry of about 3,000 people to meet them: "Kill them all!"

"Rumble--"

As the distance between the two cavalry units became smaller and smaller, Jie Li suddenly felt something was wrong.

According to his observation, the fighting style of the "Black Armor Army" on the opposite side was obviously different from the Black Armor Army he had in mind.

And the momentum is also very different.

Although the enemy's charge was very slow, it gave people the feeling that a few hundred cavalrymen were more powerful than thousands of cavalrymen, as if the whole earth was shaking.

"What kind of army is this?!"

Jie Li looked at Zhao Deyan with a confused look on his face.

"I, I don't know."

Zhao Deyan also shook his head in confusion.

However, just as they were puzzled, the leading cavalry general suddenly gave an order.

"Raise the gun!"

Wow!
The black spears, like steel needles, armed the entire cavalry corps into steel hedgehogs.

Seeing the charging Turkic cavalry, his pupils shrank sharply.

They never imagined that cavalry combat could be like this.

The five hundred heavily armored cavalrymen were like sharp arrows piercing into flesh and blood, carrying an overwhelming force and fiercely charging into the charging Turkic cavalry.

That scene is simply unforgettable.

"Clap!"

The big bow in Jie Li's hand fell to the ground without any warning.

Heavy cavalry is definitely a type of soldier that makes men's blood boil.

It’s not that the grasslands don’t have good cavalry, nor are they unaware of the power of heavy cavalry, but no grassland tribe can build it.

The main reason is that this kind of cavalry is too expensive.

Compared with traditional Turkic cavalry, it also has many shortcomings.

For example, poor reaction, single function and insufficient maneuverability.

But it is undeniable that his fighting ability is absolutely king-like.

"Crush them!"

As the commander of this army, Xue Rengui was so excited that his adrenaline surged rapidly. He didn't even wear a mask. He was the only one among all the people who charged forward with his flesh face.

Twenty feet.
ten feet
Wuzhang
As the distance between the two armies continued to narrow, every soldier of the Iron Pagoda could clearly see every enemy standing in front of them.

"Puff puff--"

The Turkic cavalry, who were strung like skewers, were torn into pieces by the powerful impact.

Including the collision of horses, which caused the horses of the Turkic cavalry to scream miserably.

Immediately afterwards, the horseshoes trampled the Turkic cavalry into a pulp, and even the mounted Turkic cavalryman fell to the ground.

"Ahhh-"

The Iron Pagodas didn't even look at the enemies wailing beneath them, they just jumped over on their horses, maintained full speed formation, and charged towards the next enemy.

"Hahaha! This is much more fun than during the drills!"

"Hey, did we get there? Where are all the enemies?"

"I don't know, I didn't see it."

The Iron Pagodas laughed wildly in their hearts, but had no intention of slowing down.

Behind them, the Turkic cavalry, whose flesh and blood were trampled by the Iron Pagoda, had long since died.

"Ding Ding Ding-"

Seeing the Iron Pagoda rushing towards them, sweeping away their own cavalry almost in a crushing manner, many cavalrymen immediately turned their horses around, avoiding the Iron Pagoda's charge route and adopting guerrilla tactics against the Iron Pagoda.

The crisp sounds coming from close by attracted Tiefutu's attention.

They knew that their abdomens, cheeks, waists, and even the horses under their crotch were all affected by the shock.

but.
It was just a shock, and there was no pain or injury.

"Is it a bow and arrow? A crossbow? A sword?"

Because they were all wearing helmets and visors, the Iron Pagodas' vision was partially restricted. In addition, they were moving in a charging posture, so they could only blindly guess the attacks they were receiving.

At the beginning, some Iron Buddhas were inevitably frightened, after all, this was their first time fighting in heavy armor.

In previous drills, we always charged head-on and had never encountered this kind of flank attack.

But as they gradually broke into the Turkic encirclement, the uneasiness in their hearts gradually disappeared.

Because they found that no matter what kind of attack the enemy used, it posed no threat to them.

Moreover, the armor is the same. If you are not injured, then your comrades in front, behind, and on both sides will not be injured either.

So, what is there to worry about?
Just when the Iron Buddhas figured out the key, there were no enemies in front of them. They then realized that the Turkic cavalry that had just come towards them had been killed by them and there were only a few left.

"hiss--"

Jie Li, Zhao Deyan and others who were watching the battle from a distance couldn't help but gasp.

His face was filled with shock and his eyes were wide open in a daze.

What did they see?
Three thousand Turkic cavalry against five hundred Iron Pagodas, and they were defeated in less than a moment?
What’s even more horrifying is that there were almost no casualties on the Iron Pagoda.

The reason why I say "almost" here is that there actually were some unlucky guys. After all, during the charge, there were inevitably a few unlucky guys who fell to the ground and were accidentally killed because the hooves of their horses accidentally tripped over the corpses on the ground.

However, this loss is negligible compared to the entire battlefield.

Just as the Iron Pagoda was crushing its way into the encirclement, the exhausted Li Yuanbao urged his mount up a hill and saw a large banner with a 'ghost head' painted on it in the distance. A look of joy immediately appeared on his face, and he raised his arms and shouted, "Reinforcements! Our reinforcements are here!"

After saying this, he rushed into the enemy camp as if he had been injected with chicken blood, charged left and right, and fought his way out of the enemy's line until he came in front of Xue Rengui.

"grown ups!"

Li Yuanbao excitedly called out Xue Rengui.

"Oh!" Xue Rengui replied calmly, then glanced around and said, "Why don't I see General Xue?"

"Return to your lord, General Xue."

Li Yuanbao spoke excitedly, and then unconsciously looked behind Xue Rengui. He saw that it was a place scattered with the corpses of Turkic cavalry and war horses. Countless people or horses were trampled into meat paste, and the blood dyed the whole ground red.

Some war horses that had lost their masters were circling around in scattered places, surrounding their masters who had long since lost their lives.

Nearby, there were also some Turkic cavalrymen who had just escaped the disaster. Some were sitting on their horses with scimitars in their hands, while others were standing there with bows and arrows, looking at the devil-like Iron Pagoda with dazed and desperate eyes.

"This"

Li Yuanbao was so shocked that he was speechless.

Xue Rengui asked angrily, "What's wrong, General Xue? Tell me!"

"Oh, General Xue is killing the enemy over there!"

Li Yuanbao seemed to react and quickly pointed to him where Xue Wanche was.

Xue Rengui looked in the direction his finger pointed, then gave an order directly to Li Yuanbao: "Raise the flag immediately and have all the troops move towards me. I will lead you to break through!"

"it is good!"

Without saying a word, Li Yuanbao ordered a personal soldier to plant the flag on the high ground so that the soldiers could see it from all directions.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the personal soldier rushed to the top of the hill, he was cut in half by the pursuing Turkic cavalry.

Li Yuanbao was enraged. He rushed forward and shot the Turkic cavalry from behind. Then he quickly called his personal guards and stood on the high ground again carrying the flag.

However, what he didn't expect was that not long after the guard stood up, he was shot through the chest by an iron arrow.

"hateful!"

Li Yuanbao saw the person who shot the arrow at a glance, and immediately showed a look of anger.

And this person was none other than She'er, whom he and Li Zhengbao could not deal with even if they joined forces.

He could clearly see the mocking, contemptuous expression on She'er's face. He then turned to look at Xue Rengui and asked, "Sir."

"Go tell General Xue and the others to evacuate with me. Leave this barbarian slave to me!"

Before Li Yuanbao could finish his words, Xue Rengui interrupted him without question.

Then he picked up a long-handled sword and rushed out.

She Er was stunned when he saw this, and then he flew into a rage: "You! You're looking for death!"

After saying that, he also picked up the scimitar and rushed towards Xue Rengui.

In his opinion, Xue Rengui's behavior was undoubtedly the greatest insult to him.

How could a kid who looked to be in his teens dare to confront a battle-hardened general like me?

This is not seeking death! ?

He had already decided in his heart that he would use the most cruel method to kill Xue Rengui!
However, just as Xue Rengui's warhorse was about to collide with his warhorse.

Xue Rengui jumped high on his horse, raised the big knife in his hand over his head, and then chopped it down with a bang.

The sharp blade flashed with an intimidating cold light.

Looking at the Mo Dao falling above his head, She'er was shocked and subconsciously raised the scimitar in his hand to block it.

But
Xue Rengui showed a sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

block?
Can you stop it?!
"die!"

Click!

After a slight sound, the scimitar broke, and then a cold light slid down from above She'er's head.

Before She'er could react, Xue Rengui chopped him in two, along with his sword and the horse he was riding.

A knife.

Both men and horses were torn apart.

The surrounding Turkic cavalry, including the Tang army, were instantly stunned.

The entire battlefield was silent.

silence!

Deathly silence!

After a long while, a burst of cheers was heard from the Iron Pagoda.

"Commander Xue is mighty!"

"Commander Xue is mighty!"

"Commander Xue is mighty!"

Thunderous cheers echoed throughout the battlefield.

All the Tang soldiers who heard the cheers spontaneously moved towards the direction where the sound came from.

This cheering is more cohesive than raising a flag on a high hill.

Even generals such as Xue Wanche and Li Zhengbao, who were fighting bloody battles, looked in the direction of the sound and showed a smile of shock and relief.

On the other side, Jie Li, Zhao Deyan and others stared at Xue Rengui on the battlefield in amazement.

No one knows what words to use to describe their current mood.

After a while, Jie Li asked, "Whose general is this!"

In his impression, there seemed to have never been such a powerful general in the Tang Dynasty.

Or rather, this was the first time he had seen such a strong and powerful general.

However, the only answers he received were the bleak cold wind and the heavy breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, a Turkic scout came galloping towards him. About ten steps away, he reined in his horse, dismounted, and said, "Great Khan! News has come from Liang Shidu that they have surrounded the Tang army camp!"

Jie Li was immediately shocked when he heard this. He turned to look at Zhao Deyan and said in a deep voice, "Beat the drum and give the order. We must stop the Tang army from breaking through!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Deyan answered loudly, and immediately recovered from his shock. He ran to pass on the message with excitement on his face.

"Boom boom boom——"

As a burst of rapid drumbeats sounded, the Turkic cavalry, who had been in chaos due to She'er's killing, regained their morale.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The Jiangling reinforcements led by Zhang Ping and Su Dingfang were blocked in front by the imperial army led by Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun.

"Duke Huo! What do you mean?!" Zhang Ping looked at Chai Shao with a dark face and asked coldly.

Chai Shao said expressionlessly, "Don't you understand what I mean? Or do you want to rebel?!"

"What rebellion?! We are here under His Majesty's orders to assist Lord Changsun in suppressing Liang Shidu! What's the problem?"

"Humph!"

Chai Shao snorted coldly and said, "Half a month ago, the Ministry of War, under the order of His Majesty, transferred you to the garrison in Mayi County. You disobeyed the order and secretly sent troops to Shuofang. Do you know what your crime is?!"

"Ah? Is this happening?"

Zhang Ping feigned ignorance and glanced at Su Dingfang, saying, "We haven't received any transfer orders from the Ministry of War?"

"Zhang Ping!"

Chai Shao's face darkened, and he said murderously, "If it weren't for General Li Jing's sake, I would have put you to death by military law long ago. If you know what's good for you, hurry to Mayi County, or else don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"This"

Zhang Ping looked hesitant and couldn't help but look at Su Dingfang again.

Su Dingfang narrowed his eyes slightly, then said calmly and indifferently: "Commander Zhang, you still have to obey His Majesty's orders. Go ahead!"

"But the prince's side."

"I'm with the prince, don't worry!"

"what?"

Zhang Ping looked confused and seemed to have not yet reacted.

But then Su Dingfang continued, "I am the commander of the Black Armor Guard, one of the six commanders of the Eastern Palace. My duty is to protect the Crown Prince. As for you, you are the governor of the imperial court and you should obey the imperial court's orders!"

"Su Lie! What do you mean!?" Xue Wanjun shouted.

Su Dingfang glanced at him disdainfully, then slowly picked up a long black spear, raised it to the sky, and shouted an order: "Black Armored Guards, listen to my orders! Follow me north to protect the Crown Prince!"

"You dare!" Chai Shao drew his sword in an instant.

Su Dingfang said word by word: "Anyone who stands in our way will be killed without mercy!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Thousands of cavalrymen in black armor instantly raised their swords and guns, shouted in unison, and were filled with murderous intent.

Chai Shao, Xue Wanjun and others' expressions suddenly changed.

They never imagined that these cavalrymen in black armor would be so powerful.

"Su Lie! Do you know what you are doing?!" Chai Shao pointed his sword at Su Dingfang.

"Of course I know that I, the Eastern Palace Guard, only take orders from the Crown Prince!"

After saying this, Su Dingfang didn't waste any more words and rode his horse directly towards Chai Shao's camp.

Immediately afterwards, thousands of black-armored guards rushed forward without any hesitation.

That fearless aura frightened the army behind Chai Shao into panic.

Before Chai Shao gave the order, he took the initiative to make way for them.

In just a moment, the black-armored guards led by Su Dingfang rushed past like a gust of black wind, shocking everyone present and leaving them stunned.

"Quick! Stop them!"

Xue Wanjun angrily waved his whip, but no one dared to stop him. He could not help but shout at Chai Shao in frustration, "Duke Huo! They're rebelling! The Crown Prince's men are rebelling!!"
