Chapter 393
"Long sword leaning on the sky, chasing the wind and fast feet, holding the reins to level Long, turning the saddle to set Shu."

——【Damn, I'm a big man and hearing such a story makes my blood boil. I can imagine how magnificent, bloody, and reborn it was at that time. I guess there are few men who don't yearn for the scene of riding on horseback and charging into battle.】
——【It's a pity that Li Shimin, an emperor through the ages, can't even gather his bones. All the tombs of the Tang Dynasty emperors, except for Wu Zetian's Qianling, have been stolen. When the underground palace of Zhao Mausoleum was opened, it was already empty and destroyed in a mess.】
——【After listening to Fang Yang's story, I feel completely different when I look at this stone carving. Before, I just felt it might be a cultural relic, and it was carved lifelike. But that's just it. There are many beautiful carvings, but when it is endowed with a historical story, I can hear a magnificent war in my mind when I see it again.】
——【This is just one horse and it's so shocking, there are five more left, I dare not imagine. No wonder in history, although it was Li Yuan who started the Tang Dynasty, more people remember Li Shimin. This has a lot to do with his life experience.】
Everyone was particularly atmospheric when listening to Fang Yang's explanation.
Especially that last inscription by Li Shimin, which makes people think of the young Li Shimin who was fighting in blood on the warhorse back then.
237. Six warhorses, Li Shimin's Great Tang fighting history!
Old Jiang was attracted by this legendary story and couldn't stop.
He hurriedly asked: "What about the second one? What story does the second one have?"
Fang Yang smiled and pointed to the only one with a human figure among the six steeds.
"After solving the worries of Chang'an City."
"The next step is to go east to face Wang Shichong of Luoyang."
"This time, Li Shimin rode this one, Sa Lu Zi!"
"Sa Lu Zi is the only one among the Zhao Mausoleum Six Steeds that is standing statically, with four hooves on the ground."
"It is also the only one with a human figure, this person is Qiu Xinggong."
"He is a general under Li Shimin."
"Li Shimin always led the charge in battle."
"The Battle of Luoyang was no exception."
"Wang Shichong at that time was surrounded by Li Shimin and could not break out for a long time."
"Seeing that the food and grass in the city were about to run out, the entire city would become a dead city."
"Wang Shichong sent someone to send a letter to Dou Jiande of Hebei, another peasant uprising army, asking Dou Jiande to save him."
"Later, Dou Jiande's army of 100,000 arrived at Hulao Pass."
"Li Shimin, who originally occupied an absolute advantage, was attacked from both sides, which could be said to be very critical at that time."
"However, Li Shimin was young and energetic."
"Not only did he not run, but he led thousands of people to face Dou Jiande head-on."
"As a result, before Dou Jiande had time to set up his army formation, Li Shimin led people to rush into the enemy camp and kill wildly."
"Because Dou Jiande led a peasant uprising army."
"To put it bluntly, it was a group of scattered people, with no combat effectiveness at all."
"Li Shimin seemed to have few people, but their momentum directly scared the peasant uprising army."
"This also led to Li Shimin, with only a few thousand people, being able to weave back and forth in the 100,000-strong army."
"As a result, after Dou Jiande came back to his senses, he surrounded Li Shimin."
"Imagine, thousands of people rushing into a 100,000-strong army. Such a scene, I think I have the guts!"
Everyone was shocked after listening.
100,000 people, you can't count them just by standing there.
Let alone people.
Even if it were 100,000 dogs, you wouldn't be able to get out if you rushed in.
It's hard to imagine how Li Shimin dared to rush in at that time.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is no different from suicide.
This requires not only the support of strength.
But more importantly, the courage to be brave and fearless.
It was precisely because of this courage that Dou Jiande suddenly lost his footing.
But right now, the onlookers all felt that Li Shimin was not going to die?
Surrounded by a 100,000-strong army.
There were no airplanes in that era.
There were no high-tech weapons either.
Relying entirely on horses and cold weapons in hand.
I really can't think of how he escaped in the end.
Still Old Jiang.
Asked hurriedly: "What happened later, how did he run away?"
Fang Yang smiled: "Don't worry, I'll tell you right away."
"When he was surrounded, he and the generals who followed him tried to break out."
"As a result, there were too many people on the opposite side, which led to them getting separated."
"Just when Li Shimin and this general named Qiu Xinggong were about to break out successfully."
"An arrow broke through the air."
"Because the distance was too close, there was no time to react at all."
"Li Shimin even thought he was going to die, but at this moment, his mount, Sa Lu Zi, suddenly stood up and blocked this arrow for him."
"Li Shimin also fell off the horse."
"At this critical moment, Qiu Xinggong fired several arrows in a row, shooting the enemies rushing in front."
"Seizing this gap, Qiu Xinggong gave his warhorse to Li Shimin, and he went down to pull the arrow out of Sa Lu Zi."
"Later, Li Shimin found the painter Yan Liben, and what he painted was the scene at this moment."
"So look at this stone carving now."
"Sa Lu Zi's muscles are completely tense and stiff, its pupils are slightly dilated, and it is in a state of dying from serious injury."
"Qiu Xinggong strokes the horse's head with his left hand, grabs the long arrow in its chest with his right hand, and Sa Lu Zi supports backward with its hind legs."
"You know, the legs of other horses are all forward, which is the posture of preparing to jump and run."
"Only this horse is backward."
"Because it knows that Qiu Xinggong is helping it pull out the arrow, and it can make the arrow pull out of its body faster by pushing back with its hind legs."
"It's a pity that after the long arrow was pulled out, Sa Lu Zi bled to death."
"Qiu Xinggong held a long knife and walked on foot to protect Li Shimin out of the siege."
"I believe... such a scene, at this moment of life and death."
"Must be deeply imprinted in Li Shimin's memory."
"That's why he asked Yan Liben's brother Yan Lide to carve this person and horse together."
"Standing outside the gate of his mausoleum, Zhao Mausoleum, hoping they can accompany him forever."
"Li Shimin also wrote a praise for Sa Lu Zi."
"Purple swallows leap, bones soar like gods, spirit shocks the three rivers, power overwhelms the eight formations."
Wow~~
After this poem was read out.
Everyone at the scene was moved.
Such an inscription.
Made them feel a burst of hot blood erupting from their bodies.
I thought the Bai Ti Wu in front was shocking enough.
I didn't expect Sa Lu Zi to be even more dangerous.
If it weren't for Sa Lu Zi's loyalty to protect the master.
If it weren't for Qiu Xinggong's rush out of the siege all the way.
Li Shimin might only be a faint stroke in history.
And it is precisely because of such two comrades who fought in blood.
That made him remember it vividly even in his old age. ===== CHAPTER 394 =====
