The distance between Chidao and Fenshui is very close, only less than 300 zhang. Li Xuanba wielded a pair of sledgehammers, destroying all the trees along the way, shattering and breaking all the trees along the way. After a short time, he led the convoy behind him, out of the dense forest, and came to the river beach.

Then he walked back to Li Shimin's side, and said with resentment: "Second brother, we are a disaster, right? Those bandits in the forest are interested in their Bohai Gao family. You and I didn't break through alone, and we were already very righteous. Thanks to this eldest grandson Wuji, his nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes, where did he get so much temperament? Also, that Gao Shilian is not honest, he knows the reason, but he refuses to say it. ”

Although Li Shimin was also annoyed in his heart, his reaction was flat: "The eldest grandson Wuji is eager to learn and progress, and he looks down on me, a mediocre person, which is understandable." And today, when it comes to the safety and life of his family, how can he not be in a hurry? As for Uncle Gao Shi, I am afraid that he also has no choice but to do so. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed slightly: "The Duke of Bohai County used to be quite kind to my martial arts Li family. Now that you have met, you can't sit idly by. Otherwise, how should the world view you and my brother?"

The Bohai County Duke he said refers to the famous ministers of the first emperor and the founder of the Sui Dynasty, Gao Xi. When Gao Xi's power was at its peak, he was pardoned and named the Duke of Qi, but the world still likes to call him the Duke of Bohai County.

In the past, as one of the Eight Pillars of the Kingdom, the Tang State Mansion also looked up to it and was taken care of by it.

In fact, it's just him, but with Li Xuanba present today, he must not just run away.

Fleeing from the enemy and sitting back and watching the old suffers is not a good reputation. will not only be despised by the world, but also affect Li Xuanba's future in the army.

"But it's not authentic after all!"

Li Xuanba snorted helplessly, but then he said hesitantly: "Brother, although the eldest grandson Wuji is not very good, but I listen to his words, but there is still some truth, why do you have to go to this river beach?"

By this time he had dismounted, and his feet were one foot deep and one foot shallow. The mud in the river flats is muddy, not to mention horseback riding, and even walking is difficult.

The carriages behind were also difficult,

Fortunately, the heavy armor of the ink box inside, as well as many weapons, have been taken out by them, and the weight of the body has been greatly reduced by equipping them. The horses were also strong, and they could pull these carts with all their might to walk on the riverbank.

"Third brother, you have been taught the art of war, and you think that the ink armor is extremely heavy, so you can't get close to the river, and you can't do it in the rain? ”

Li Shimin smiled: "Third brother, do you know what our Longxi Li clan is best at?"

"What is our Longxi Li clan best at?"

Li Xuanba's eyes were puzzled, thinking to himself that their family, what they are best at should be archery, right?

The former ancestor Li Guang was famous for his archery. That is the first general who is good at shooting in the Han Dynasty, and the arrow can open mountains and crack stones, which is comparable to Yangyouji in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

After that, their eighth ancestor, Li Hui, also used archery skills to crisscross the Western Regions, founded Xiliang, and was the ancestor of Xiliang.

And then there is their father, Li Yuan, who is also good at shooting.

It is rumored that in the past, their maternal grandfather, Dou Yi of Shangzhuguo, once used the school archery examination to choose a son-in-law for their mother.

This person drew two peacocks on the door screen, and two hundred zhang away, anyone who shot two arrows in the eye of a peacock was recruited as a son-in-law. There were dozens of people in front of him who didn't shoot, and when they arrived at his father Li Yuan, both arrows were shot. Dou Yi was overjoyed, so he married their mother to the Tang State Mansion.

The Li family in Longxi has such a history of inheritance, and attaches great importance to archery. And the generals in the house, other skills can be mediocre, but this archery skill must be outstanding.

Even he, Li Xuanba, was ordered by his father when he was a child, and he practiced superb archery. Compared with those magic shots, they may be inferior, but they are far beyond ordinary people.

And just when Li Xuanba was thinking about it, Li Shimin had already summoned the commander of the Gaofu family to speak in front of him.

"I don't know how many people in your mansion can shoot six times at a distance of 100 zhang?"

The head of the Gao family is named Gao Fu. At this time, this person also looked at Li Shimin with a slightly suspicious gaze.

Not only because of this person's age, but also because of Li Shimin's inexplicable instructions. He had the same opinion as the eldest grandson Wuji, if they were looking for a high ground and holding on to for help, there was still a little possibility of retreating from the enemy. But in this river beach, how much can the ability of these ink armors on their bodies be used?

Once caught up, the consequences are unimaginable.

However, he still respects Gao Shilian. The latter has already explained that they must obey the orders of this Li family Erlang today.

Although Gao Fu was reluctant, he still replied respectfully at this time: "Hui Gongzi, there are not many people in my family who are good at shooting, but there are forty-two people who can shoot six out of ten within 100 zhang." ”

There was pride in his words.

In terms of Jiangmen, although the Bohai Gao clan has declined in recent years, it is still the top few in the world, and it can compete with Kansai Jiangmen.

Li Shimin's eyes were also quite surprised, and he then asked: "Then the military formation tactics, are you still familiar with them?"

"The snare drum command is all skillful. All the military formations in the country are also proficient, and they are by no means inferior to the forbidden army. ”

Gao Fu was a little displeased, he felt that his own level was questioned by this young man.

But in the past, when the Bohai Gao clan was located in Shandong, the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the conquest of the Quartet, the martial arts Li clan had just risen.

As Bohai soldiers, if they are not even familiar with the tactics of military formations, wouldn't they make the world laugh and be generous?

When Li Shimin heard this, he laughed: "In this way, how about asking the senior commander to hand over the person who is good at shooting to the command, and then ask the commander to lead the people of your mansion to the queen?"

Gao Fu didn't know what he meant, he glanced at Gao Shilian who was sitting in the carriage, and then replied helplessly: "No!"

At this time, both of them felt at the same time and looked back at the rear. I saw that in the dense forest hundreds of miles away, there was suddenly a large crowd of people, pouring out.

Li Shimin looked from afar, and saw that these people were dressed in disorderly clothes and untidy banners, and at a glance, he knew that they were a rabble. But the 2,700 people, as well as the hundreds of burly ink armor with a cold light flashing on the surface, made people feel chills in their hearts.

In addition, there was also a black-clothed armor of about 200 people in the forest, who not only had a strict formation, but also calmly and well-equipped. In the chaotic array on the opposite side, it seems to stand out from the crowd.

"That's the Armor Breaker!"

Li Yan, the leader of the generals, also noticed this team, and his face suddenly became more solemn: "This is the border army!"

And it's not an ordinary border army, just looking at the fierce momentum, you know that this is the elite of the elite, and it has a good background.

Seeing this, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's not a wolf's tooth." ”

'Wolf Fang' is also one of the standard ink armor in the Great Sui Border Army, but it is about one-third lighter than 'Broken Front'.

The former is often used for guerrilla reconnaissance, lightly armed advances, and flank attacks, while the latter is the first choice for destroying the front in the frontal battlefield, and is used for the ink armor of the grand battle array.

When Li Yan heard this, he looked at Li Shimin with some puzzlement. He couldn't figure it out, what was there to be thankful about?

The two opposing teams of border armies are not inferior to them in combat power. Those 'Breaking Blade' armor, after joining forces, are extremely powerful.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji's face was also blue, he turned his head to look at Gao Shilian on the carriage next to him, and whispered: "Uncle, this battle is fierce, it is best to prepare for the emergency." ”

Once the situation is not good, he will use this general-level ink armor to escort Gao Shilian and Xiaomei to escape.

Gao Shilian didn't seem to hear it, and looked carefully at Li Shimin, who was commanding his subordinates and forming a battle formation in the distance. After a long time, he sighed: "The world says that the Duke of Chu has lost his eyes, this Li family Erlang is young, and it may not be good." But after seeing it today, I realized that the rumors were untrue. This son is very good, and it is really a dragon leaping and a phoenix, and he is indulgent. ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he was a little puzzled, and turned his head to look at Li Shimin.

This guy, even if he wears ink armor, still has a bit of a lazy taste, and he doesn't have any courage and heroism.

He really couldn't see what merit this person had that deserved his uncle's praise.

Gao Shilian smiled: "Did you tell you that your art of war is heavy, so you must not enter the swamp and the river?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned slightly, and looked over where Gao Shilian was pointing.

I saw that on the opposite side, nearly 3,000 bandits and more than 400 ink armors were swarming to pursue this side.

At first, Sun Wuji didn't notice it, but then his mind moved slightly and he discovered the abnormality.

"It's disjointed—"

The ink armor on the opposite side is all transformed by civilian armor supervised by the Ministry of Industry.

There are three models, one is the 'Kaishan', which is burly and designed for the gravel of the mountain, the second is the 'Ox Horse', which is designed for pulling vehicles to transport earth and rock, and the third is the 'Earth Dragon', which is designed for digging soil.

In terms of size, Kaishan is the heaviest, followed by Tulong, and again by cattle and horses.

At this time, these more than 400 ink armors have been divided into four strands. The first is the 'cow horse', the back is the 'earth dragon', and the back is the 'mountain'.

Finally, there were the fifty standard sergeant-level ink armor 'Breaking Front', which was guarded by one hundred and fifty auxiliaries, driving away the thousands of bandits in front.

This is obviously due to the difference in the weight of these ink armors, the Kaishan armor and the earth dragon armor are both thick and bulky, and the weight far exceeds that of their military ink armor like 'Breaking Front', and it is extremely difficult to walk in the mud. When you step down, it's often a deep pit.

However, the people who led the troops on the opposite side were also well-versed in the art of war and were always trying to maintain the battle formation. The 2,700-strong bandits were not inferior to the government soldiers in such a strict formation.

However, in this way, the speed of the enemy's pursuit after entering the river beach had to be greatly slowed down. It's not even as good as their side, even if there is a carriage dragging them down, their team is still faster than these bandits.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and his eyes were fixed.
