I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2143 1 Arrow



Chapter 2143 1 Arrow

Encouraged by the rebel leader, the rebels began to put up an effective resistance and were no longer as chaotic as before.

The guards of the Imperial Guard Battalion did not engage in direct confrontation with the rebels. Instead, they rushed to where there were fewer people and cleared out the rebels' outer forces.

Guerrilla warfare is a combat mode proposed by Li Shen to avoid the enemy's sharp edge and reduce casualties.

But this tactic has existed for a long time, and is especially common among nomadic peoples.

Most of the rebels' horses were frightened and fled during the bombing, and the remaining ones were not enough to be divided into troops for pursuit, so the infantry was clearly at a slight advantage over the cavalry.

"boom!!"

A loud bang exploded among the rebels, and the guards began to use grenades.

Each of them carries a fire starter that they have prepared in advance. As long as they open the lid and blow it, fire will start.

Each guard is equipped with two grenades.

This time, Li Shen moved out all his family assets.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the first blast sounded, thousands of grenades were thrown towards crowded places. Suddenly, explosions continued, blowing the rebels to pieces.

The rebels' formation was disrupted for a moment, and many people were frightened by the explosion and fled in all directions.

Tang Jun actually knows some magical skills, this is clearly palm thunder.

"kill!!"

Xue Rengui roared again and charged out with his heavy cavalry.

"Kill kill kill."

The guards everywhere also responded together, and the momentum was unstoppable.

The Guards Battalion was in high spirits, but the rebels were in low morale and began to desert.

The rebel leader still wanted to reorganize the resistance, but his momentum was broken and he was powerless to turn the tide.

At this moment, Xue Rengui also noticed the rebel leader in the distance. He saw him hang up his Fang Tian Hua Ji, take off his longbow, and draw the bow and draw the arrow.

"Bang!" The bowstring made a sound, followed by a "whoosh" and an arrow flew out.

"what!"

The rebel leader screamed and fell off his horse.

Li Shen, who was watching the battle from a distance with a telescope, saw this scene and immediately sighed:

"What a pity, we are still two arrows short. Shoot two more arrows!"

The rebel leader was shot off his horse by Xue Rengui, and the army immediately lost its morale. The rebels began to flee in all directions, and the guards did not stop them.

He just kept charging and killing as many as he could.

The order they received was to kill as many enemies as possible while protecting themselves.

If the enemy fights desperately, you must avoid their attack and just run away.

The battle lasted for more than half an hour, and when it ended, dawn had already broken.

When Li Shen received the signal from Xue Rengui, he dressed up the same as last time, rode the little white dragon, and came to the camp in a majestic manner.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Xue Rengui still walked over covered in blood.

"Count the casualties as quickly as possible."

Li Shen gave the order immediately, he cared about this very much.

If he was leading an army, Li Shen would not be so nervous. There is no way anyone can survive on the battlefield. Among tens of thousands of troops fighting, only the elites survive.

But we only have so few people, and all we need is money.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Our casualties this time shouldn't be too great. We used grenades."

Xue Rengui comforted him.

Xue Rengui had never thought that war could be fought in this way, although he had formulated and discussed tactics with Li Jing before.

But Li Jing didn't know how to use the grenade.

This was the second time they used grenades on a large scale, but unlike the last time, this time they were used in combat.

Kill the remaining enemy forces on the periphery and then throw grenades into the middle. This is much more powerful than free-range shooting.

If each person throws one, that's 2,500 pills, enough for them to drink a pot of wine.

"How effective is the grenade?" Li Shen had just heard continuous explosions, but he didn't know the effect, and there was thick smoke.

"Your Majesty, I am having someone check this out." Xue Rengui replied.

"Okay, then let's do it as soon as possible. Send a team of guards to chase us in the direction we came from. Some of the rebels must have fled in panic.

There are hundreds of civilians over there, don't let them get hurt."

Li Shen saw the rebels passing by them, but he did not stop them. He had only 100 personal guards around him.

Once you are sent out, what should you do with yourself? You are more valuable than anything else.

"Yes, I'll give the order right away." Xue Rengui bowed and left.

Li Shen was not in a hurry to enter the camp. The camp had not been cleaned up yet and there were wounded soldiers wailing all over the ground. If someone hit him, it would be a huge loss.

He set up a small table outside the camp again and waited.

Looking at the busy soldiers in the camp and the corpses scattered all over the ground, Li Shen couldn't help but sigh:

"As expected, the success of a general is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of men. Why do these people have to join the rebels when they can't just live a good life?"

Li Shen pondered over this question.

These leaders rebelled only for wealth and glory, but why did these ordinary people join in the rebellion?

Although those survivors did not become rich after surrendering, they could at least have enough food and clothing.

Finally, Li Shen concluded that it was the power of faith and constant brainwashing that made these people so fanatical.

The sky was bright and a new day was about to begin. The air was filled with the smell of blood, making Li Shen very uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty."

It was unknown how long it had been before Xue Rengui's voice rang out, interrupting Li Shen's rest with his eyes closed.

"Is it over?" Opening his eyes, Li Shen glanced at the rebel camp.

"Yes, the inventory has been completed." Xue Rengui nodded.

"How many casualties have we suffered?" Li Shen asked immediately.

"Your Highness, just like last time, there were no casualties, but forty-seven people were injured, most of them from falls." Xue Rengui reported.

Li Shen frowned. He was injured last time due to a fall, and he was injured again this time.

"Rengui, why don't we have horse riding training in the Imperial Guard Battalion? Why did so many people fall and get injured? Can you fall while walking?"

Li Shen was a little angry.

“Your Highness, the Imperial Guards have horse riding training every day. The main reason for the fall this time was that the grenade was too loud and startled the horse.

We have had similar training during normal training, but that was just the sound of a grenade exploding in the distance.

This time, thousands of grenades exploded at the same time, and some horses couldn’t adapt.”

Xue Rengui quickly explained that their training was to pull the horses to a deserted place, form a circle, and place a grenade in the middle.

When the explosions occurred, there were guards around to comfort them, and the horses were often trained to get used to such loud noises.

But for the sake of confidentiality, the first one will not be played often for fear that people will hear it. For the sake of safety, the second one will be played at a distance.

Not as close as this time.

“I see. In the future, we need to do this kind of training regularly. If the horse is not good enough, we can replace it and find a braver horse.

Send the replaced horses to the Northern Yamen Imperial Guards, they will definitely not despise them."

After hearing Xue Rengui's explanation, Li Shen suddenly realized what was going on. However, it was understandable that it was normal for horses to be afraid of loud noises.

If they hadn't been trained, they might have been scared away.

"Tell me about the other situations. How many civilians were found?"

(I guess some people will say that zero casualties is unrealistic, but people who know Qi Jiguang will understand.

Qi Jiguang was a great general in the fight against the Japanese pirates. His average casualty ratio was fifty to one, and he had many battles with zero casualties.

It depends on the advantage of weapons and equipment.

It’s just a novel, a cool article.)
