bastard seizes tang

Chapter 475 Divine Arrow
Faced with the harassment of the "sand bandits" led by Xue Rengui, the senior official Tizhen was furious. He knew that the group of people in front of him would never be ordinary sand bandits who robbed wealth, and he also knew what it meant to do so.

The waterwheels and fodder in the rear were destroyed, which might make it impossible for them to complete their mission. They brought enough of these livestock as dowry gifts and went to Lingzhou to meet their relatives in time. These people captured them and gave Khan and Emperor Tang an explanation.

But Tizhen's official only knew that these people in front of him were definitely not sand bandits, and he also knew that they came with bad intentions, but how did he know that these people were elite guards under the command of the Prince of Chu's Marriage Office, who had experienced hundreds of battles, even compared to the Forbidden Army? Elite is not bad at all.

Li Ke opened the mansion and built the Yamen. There are two soldiers under the command of the Chu King's Mansion. One is the Chu King's Marriage Mansion, with a total of 330 people. Xue Rengui is the leader, and they are all Li Ke's personal guards. The imperial guards are absolutely trustworthy;
The second is the Inner Palace of the King of Chu, with a total of 660 seven people, headed by the Dianjun of the Tennessee Mansion, and selected elites from the Youxiaowei.

There are a total of more than a thousand guards in the prince's two mansions, and the number is very large. Generally speaking, the guards of the two mansions will never be fully staffed, especially for the prince in Beijing. The guard rate available under his command is no more than a hundred people at most. .

But Li Ke is different. Li Ke is favored by Li Shimin. Li Ke is the commander in frontier states, commanding [-] frontier troops to resist the northern enemy. Li Ke's personal guards are the last line of defense in front of Li Ke during the war. Therefore, Li Shimin also issued a decree to allow Li Ke and the guards of the two prefectures to lead the full compilation, which is not limited by the custom.

When Li Ke was outside, the more than [-] people in the tent house were under the command of the Prince of Chu's residence, but once Li Ke returned to the capital, they would belong to You Xiaowei and were not among the guards of the prince's residence, so Li Ke could really be called his confidant There are more than three hundred people from the Marriage Mansion, and the hundred people under Xue Rengui's command this time are from the Marriage Mansion, and Li Ke's confidantes entrust their lives.

When Xue Yantuo's group of hundreds of people met Xue Rengui's group of twenty or so people, Xue Rengui didn't give the order to retreat, but these twenty people did not move at all, like a mountain.

Xue Rengui stood at the front, looked at Xue Yantuo and Hu Qi who were approaching in front of him, and then looked at the distraught senior official Ti Zhen who was more than two hundred steps away. From the looks of it, this Tizhen dignitary must be the commander of Xue Yantuo's army.

Xue Rengui's face sank like water, he took down the strong bow that he brought along with him from the horse, stretched the bow and put on an arrow, and stretched across the full moon, looking at the dignitary Ti Zhen more than [-] paces away, he shot an arrow.

Ti Zhen Daguan, who was more than two hundred steps away, saw Xue Rengui's arrow pointing at him, but at first he didn't take it seriously, because the distance between two hundred steps was too far, even if he was born on horseback and grew up with a bow and arrow, he always Xue Yantuo Erlang, who is good at shooting, has never seen anyone who can shoot and kill people more than two hundred steps away, let alone this Tang man in front of him.

"call out!"

With a sharp sound, the arrow in Xue Rengui's hand pierced through the air, and went straight to the face of Ti Zhen's senior official like a tiger rushing to eat, as if with great force.

If Senior Official Tizhen didn't care about Xue Rengui's arrow before, then now, seeing this arrow rushing toward him, Senior Official Tizhen couldn't help but shudder. He didn't know whether the arrow could hit, but he He acted cautiously, seeing the direction of the arrow, he didn't feel intimidated, and instinctively bent down and hid behind the horse.

A moment later, with a harsh sound of piercing the air, Xue Rengui shot an arrow past Tizhen's ear, Tizhen's lowered his head, and suddenly there was a beard braid on the ground, Tizhen's hastily Touching under his ears, he found that the braid under the ear had been cut off. It turned out that the braid on the ground belonged to him.

Before Tizhen's official breathed a sigh of relief, there was a painful cry from behind Tizhen's official, and Tizhen's official turned his head to look. It turned out that just when he was about to dodge the arrow, the soldiers behind him It happened.

This arrow was so powerful that it hit the heart of the soldier behind him, pierced deeply, and even came out through his body. The sharp arrow pierced through his back heart, revealing half of the body of the arrow.

What a frightening arrow, after more than two hundred steps, it can still shoot out through the body, what strength and precision this is, there are such people in the world!
Official Ti Zhen looked at the scene behind him, his back was soaked, if he hadn't dodged the arrow in time, he must be the one who died now.

And he and Xue Rengui were more than two hundred steps away, so there was still a chance to react, but if it was a little closer, if it was around a hundred steps, even if he saw it, he would not have time to dodge.

The senior official Tizhen was startled by the arrow, fearful in his heart, he didn't dare to be careless, he quickly hid behind the horse, not daring to move.

"General's sharp shot!" Wangfu Wei led by Xue Rengui's side saw this and praised him sincerely.

Xue Rengui in the distance looked at the senior official Ti Zhen who was hiding behind the horse, and knew that it was impossible to take his life any more, so he sighed lightly and said regretfully, "It's a pity that he couldn't take his life."

Wei led the way: "The general's arrow has already broken the enemy's courage, and the merit is enough."

Xue Rengui said: "Although this arrow failed to achieve meritorious service, it's okay. We didn't come here to kill the enemy. The enemy army has already caught up, so it's inconvenient to stay here for a long time. Withdraw quickly and join the rear army."

After finishing speaking, Xue Rengui reined in his horse and fled away into the depths of the desert.

It was not only Tizhen's dignitaries who were intimidated by Xue Rengui's arrow, but also Hu Qi, who wanted to capture Xue Rengui and his group just now. Seeing Xue Rengui's group retreat to the south, they did not dare to pursue deeply, and took a few steps Then he returned.

After Xue Rengui left, Kun Gu, who was originally going to support the rear army, also came back.

"How is the situation of the rear army? Have you ever repulsed the enemy?" Ti Zhen Daguan looked at Kun Gu approaching and asked hurriedly.

Kun Gu replied: "The enemy was repulsed, but when I arrived at the rear army, more than half of the water tanker had been destroyed, and the fodder had been reduced by [-] to [-]%. Although we brought sufficient supplies, more than half of them were destroyed If things go on like this, I'm afraid the cattle and sheep will be overwhelmed before we get out of the Gobi."

Hearing the numbers in Kun Gu's mouth, the dignitary Ti Zhen's heart suddenly became half cold.

He has two purposes for this trip, one is to escort these livestock to Lingzhou as a betrothal gift, and the other is to welcome back the princess, but if these cattle and sheep are starved to death or died of thirst in the Gobi, and the betrothal gift is insufficient, he can still welcome them back Princess?
These cattle and sheep are already Xue Yantuo's property that can only be used with all his national strength under this situation. There is absolutely no second share. If he doesn't have these, where can he go to get these 15 livestock?

Tizhen Daguan thought for a moment, then said helplessly: "Most of them will be repaired on the spot, you send troops to divide into two groups, all the way back to the Khan Court to report the matter to the Khan, and add fodder to come here, scatter all the way, search source of water."

"Kun Gu takes orders." Kun Gu complied and went down to make arrangements.
