Chapter 256: No Piece of Armor Remains

"Army, kill!" At this moment, Xue Rengui also gave the order to attack, and at the same time, a thousand cavalry rushed towards Li Hong like crazy, tightly surrounding him in the middle. This cavalry is Xue Rengui's personal soldiers, and their task is to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as long as Li Hong is safe, everything Xue Rengui has done today can be regarded as a great merit, otherwise everything will be in vain.

Li Hong also has Zhou Xing's two hundred Lin Wei by his side, plus this thousand people is more than enough.

Li Hong saw that there were so many people around him, it had no practical significance, just like Zhou Xing on the side said, "Zhou Xing, you go to assist Chen Gong to catch Liu Ju, remember, you have to see people when you live alone, and you have to see corpses when you die." โ€

"No!" Zhou Xing received the order, and led his men to rush to the enemy in front of him with murderous energy.

Xue Rengui was the first to lead a large army into the enemy when Liu Ju's black-clothed assassin rushed towards Li Hong.

To put it bluntly, Xue Rengui, who is now in the camp of black-clothed assassins, is the famous Xue Rengui in history, and the fierce man who is invincible in Romance and saves Tang Taizong several times.

The black-clothed assassins were powerful, but what they encountered was the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, a heavily armed cavalry, and there were 10,000 people.

It's like a swordsman with strong martial arts who feels helpless when he encounters an army of formations.

Therefore, when 10,000 cavalry attacked from all sides like black-clothed assassins, even though the black-clothed assassins were relatively close to Li Hong, when they were about to rush in front of Li Hong, they were already caught up by the Tang cavalry behind them.

"Poofโ€”"

The sword slashed across the sky, creating an arc that also slashed the enemy's neck.

A stream of scorching blood donations gushed out.

The black-clothed assassin who was caught up by the Tang cavalry didn't have time to dodge, and he was already in a different place.

To be honest, because the combat effectiveness of the Datang cavalry was very strong, and the speed of the knife was very fast, the black-clothed assassin didn't even shout when he died.

10,000 people kill 1,000 people, but still under the premise of overwhelming strength.

This kind of killing can only be described as a massacre.

That's right, it's a massacre, a naked slaughter.

Therefore, in just a cup of tea, the black-clothed assassins brought by Liu Ju were slaughtered by Xue Rengui's cavalry.

Yes, it was all killed, and there was not a single living mouth.

In fact, for this group of dead assassins, they don't die, how can they surrender like the Tang cavalry?

"Clean up the battlefield!" At the end of the battle, Xue Rengui issued a military order.

Then, he rode to Li Hong on horseback and replied to Li Hong, "Go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the enemy has been killed, please take a look." โ€

Domineering, cool, dragging.

This is the combat effectiveness and quality that the Tang cavalry should have!

Li Hong thought in his heart.

In fact, he was very envious of Xue Rengui's 10,000 cavalry, and he also envied the army fighting on the Northeast Battlefield, because this army was the real elite of the Tang Dynasty.

Su Dingfang only controlled two-tenths of Datang's soldiers and horses in the northwest, and Datang's real elite soldiers have always been in Li Ji's hands.

"Yes, you performed very well, let Gu see the blood and temperament that a Tang soldier should have." Li Hong said with satisfaction, "Reward." Xue Li, you tell everyone, just say that they have made great achievements in this battle, and they are specially rewarded for not having ten copper coins? โ€

Ten times, and still no one is ten times.

When Xue Rengui heard Li Hong's words, he was stunned.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say the wrong thing? Reward each soldier with ten copper coins, and if there are 10,000 people around him, he will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan, which is not a small amount. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can easily take out 100,000 copper coins as a reward, which is indeed enough to be tight.

Actually, he didn't know that he had killed Liu Ju this time, and his contribution to the Tang Dynasty was too great, if Gaozong knew, he wouldn't have a reward of ten yuan for his soldiers, even if it was doubled, Gaozong would have no opinion.

Because he dared to oppose Li Tang, Liu Ju was a complete traitor and a big problem in Gaozong's heart.

Now, Li Hong has eradicated this confidant problem, which is equivalent to eradicating the potential crisis of Datang, which is of great significance to the country and the people.

How could Gaozong be stingy with rewards?

Besides, Li Hong's 100,000 yuan can be taken out now.

Because he believes that on Liu Ju's body, any thing he finds can be worth ten yuan. For him, he is indeed short of money, but what can he do with ten times of money? It's better to reward these 10,000 soldiers, so that these 10,000 soldiers have a good impression of their reward.

Li Hong did not deliberately understand the thoughts in the hearts of the Tang soldiers.

But he knew one thing that in the minds of ordinary soldiers, they were more willing to obey their commanders who were good to them than to the commanders of the army.

This is especially true for soldiers who have no culture and only know that they are fighting for military merit and money.

Not to mention, the government army of the Tang Dynasty does not pay money, they serve as soldiers for military service, and many government soldiers need to buy their own armor, weapons and war horses. Therefore, the reward for meritorious service on the battlefield has become the only reward they can receive.

This is the reason why the Tang Dynasty had strong combat effectiveness in the Taizong period.

Basically, all the people are soldiers, and it is strange that the combat effectiveness of the Tang soldiers is not strong.

Because the reward is very important to every soldier, when Xue Rengui informed his soldiers of Li Hong's words, the 10,000 iron horsemen were overjoyed, and they shouted loudly for the prince Chitose, the prince Chitose, and the momentum was very huge.

Although Li Hong didn't like this kind of false courtesy, it was just an expression of reverence for him from the bottom of his heart, and he could only accept it reluctantly.

"Xue Li, this time you will send Gu back to Beijing, and after meeting my father, we will meet in Hezhou City together to prepare for the conquest of Tibet." Li Hong said to Xue Rengui. It was just with this opportunity that Xue Rengui was drawn into his camp.

Before, Li Hong was very enthusiastic about Xue Rengui, but he was not very urgent.

Now seeing Xue Rengui's bravery, he knew that he still had such a military general beside him, and Xue Rengui was the only person he would use to deter the powerful countries of the Western Continent and kill the generals of the powerful countries of the Western Continent when he conquered the Western Continent in the future.

Even Zhao Zhongyong, Chen Gong, Li Duoqi, and others, compared with Xue Rengui, they are still some way away.

"No!" Xue Rengui commanded.

He was ordered by Gaozong to be transferred to the northwest to listen to Li Hong's orders, and now although the northwest crisis has been resolved, he has not yet received an order to return to the northeast battlefield, and he is still dispatched by the crown prince Li Hong, and he will not have any objection to what Li Hong says.

Otherwise, it would be no child's play to mobilize the army privately.

Even if Li Hong wants to mobilize him, he also has to consider whether it is appropriate for him to do so.

"Bai Suzhen, you were very satisfied with your performance just now, you can rest assured that when you return to Chang'an in the future, no one will bully you again." Li Hong said to Bai Suzhen.

Just now, when Lu Dongzan said the bet of bullying Li Hong, although Bai Suzhen was already very scared because of Liu Ju, she still pulled the distance of her clothes, giving Li Hong a little confidence and comfort. Li Hong felt that such a woman couldn't ignore her too much even if she didn't like him, at least from this day, even if she had only one night with her Bai Suzhen, Bai Suzhen's concern for her still revealed her character.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!" Bai Suzhen said movingly.

She also knew that as soon as she entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea.

If you want to live in the harem and stand out among the beauties of the harem, in addition to being resourceful, you must also get the favor of the king.

Now the prince is still the prince, not the king of the Tang Dynasty, but he is the queen.

Since Bai Suzhen followed Li Hong, she knew that she would inevitably have to live such a life in the future.

Now that she has been recognized by Li Hong, it means that her status in the East Palace will be guaranteed in the future, and the status of the East Palace is stable, and when Li Hong ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, her status in the palace will not be too bad.

Coupled with her obedient service to the prince and her delicate appearance, she has absolute confidence that she will be able to have a place in the future harem life.

Of course, she also knows that with her own identity, it is impossible to hope to be a queen. Therefore, she is not greedy, and not being greedy is the reason why she can show such wisdom now.

Compared with Bai Suzhen's performance, Guo Xiang's performance today when Li Hong was humiliated was very average.

Li Hong didn't ask Guo Xiang to make any unexpected moves at such a time, but compared to Bai Suzhen, her performance today was indeed a little too selfish.

Guo Xiang didn't know why she felt a little faint pleasure in her heart when Lu Dongzan bullied Li Hong today, but she knew that because of Bai Suzhen's small move, no matter how hard she tried to please Li Hong in the future, the impact she left on Li Hong today was enough to affect the back half of her body.

Because in this world, couples who share hardships are gone, at least they can rely on each other, if you don't have a little love for sharing hardships, it is estimated that you will be favored again, and once you fall out of favor, you will have no chance to be revived.

But Guo Xiang doesn't care, in Guo Xiang's heart, apart from her younger brother, who else does she care about?

No, except for her younger brother Guo Da, who is close to her, she doesn't care about anyone, not even herself, if she cares about herself, she won't be held hostage by Wang Po to serve Li Hong.

"Lu Dongzan, no matter how clever you are, as long as you are alone for a day, you will never be able to make any big waves, do you believe it?" At this time, a soldier pulled Lu Dongzan in front of Li Hong, and Li Hong said with a smile.

Lu Dongzan's face turned even paler, and he was silent, because just now Li Hong asked him to learn how to bark and let him learn to be a dog, so that now he has no dignity at all, and he is now like a dead heart.

"Didn't you say today that most of what you told Zhou Xing was fake? In fact, Lone is not in a hurry, because Lone still has a lot of time for Zhou Xing to accompany you to have fun, what do you say? Li Hong laughed and ordered the soldiers to escort Lu Dongzan down.
