Tang Dynasty: Father, if you don't rebel, I will!

"Boom boom boom..."

The explosions continued as Li Tai and his men frantically hurled gunpowder canisters onto the north bank of the Wei River.

Almost instantly, the 100,000 Turkic cavalry, who had been so aggressive and ready to conquer Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, were subdued.

They became the first sacrifices to appear in this world for this rudimentary form of firearms.

"Fire! Bomb it!"

"Blow up those sons who have no skin!"

"Throw them all out! Blow them up for me!"

Li Tai's face was flushed and purple with excitement. His eyes were fixed on the flames that exploded amidst the thousands of troops, the rising black smoke, and the scattered and torn Turkic cavalry.

Not only did it not make him feel any fear or apprehension.

Anyway, I was so excited that I was trembling all over.

He sat astride his warhorse, as if he wished the short sword in his hand were the mechanism of the catapult.

One swing each time.

They could all unleash terrifying, dense thunderbolts, like the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, blasting all the barbarians in front of them into dust.

Art!

This is art!

Li Tai's lips trembled, while Xue Wanche and the others, who were leading the Six Guards of the Eastern Palace and standing in front of the gunpowder team, were completely dumbfounded.

Standing behind him was Fang Yi'ai, a burly man who was completely unrecognizable as the son of the civil official Fang Xuanling. He was wearing armor and holding a long-handled battle axe.

however.

He originally dreamed of riding a horse and fighting the enemy, becoming a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, amidst these terrifying explosions, a layer of solid ice was instantly formed.

"What... what exactly is this terrifying thing?"

"Even the most powerful general couldn't withstand something like this..."

At this moment, because he had possessed immense strength since childhood and was much stronger than his peers, he suddenly realized that his dream of practicing martial arts, leading a large army, and becoming the bravest warrior in the army was not coming true.

It's like a joke.

Behind him, Fang Yi'ai's murmurs jolted Xue Wanche awake from his reverie.

"All troops, listen to my command! Attack the Turks!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

With Xue Wanche's order, the gunpowder squad behind him continued to hurl the remaining gunpowder canisters into the Turkic army.

They practically emptied Chang'an's entire inventory of armor and weapons.

Even including some of the previous dynasty's stockpiled armor, the six guards of the Eastern Palace, barely fully armed, suddenly resembled a moving iron wall.

“Yelülü..…”

Amidst the frantic neighing of horses.

The terrifying power of the gunpowder canisters directly led to the defeat of the supposedly 100,000-strong Turkic army.

It's beyond simply throwing themselves into disarray.

Those killed in the explosion, those trampled by horses, those who fell from their horses and were trampled to death...

The Turkic cavalry commanders tried their best to control the situation, but the warhorses, which had been driven mad by fear, were beyond human control at that moment.

Not to mention, Li Shimin, who was already excited and felt overjoyed, was not about to let them go.

The six infantrymen of the Eastern Palace were still advancing.

Li Shimin then let out a loud shout.

"Black Armored Army! Charge with me!"

There wasn't even time for the Xuanjia Army to rush over from behind.

Cheng Yaojin and the others saw the emperor and the crown prince, father and son, move almost in sync, spurring their horses and drawing their weapons with a fierce roar.

They marched towards the Turkic Khaganate.

"Follow me (I) to take down Jieli! Kill!!!"

Cheng Yaojin and the others' expressions changed, and they hurriedly urged their warhorses to move forward.

"Kill! Kill all these Turkic dogs!"

"Follow His Majesty, Black Armored Army! Charge!"

"..."

The entire area north and south of the Wei River seemed to be engulfed in a state of undisturbed excitement at this moment.

The emperor and his son, the crown prince, charged at the forefront, and the Tang Dynasty, with its unfathomable power, instantly annihilated half of the Turkic cavalry.

The current battle situation has instantly brought the already strong morale of the Tang Dynasty to an even more frenzied level.

The Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace.

These elite troops of the Tang Dynasty, personally selected by Li Chengqian, saw their crown prince forging ahead without hesitation.

They were all so excited that their faces turned red and their necks bulged.

They rushed across the Wei River, transforming into the most frenzied killers.

Cheng Yaojin's two sons, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang, are charging into battle.

According to the military genius Li Jing, there was no general with any talent, except for Li Dejian, who was charging into battle.

Du He, the son of Du Ruhui, who was not particularly brave, was charging into battle.

Fang Yi'ai, Attorney Pei, Xiao Rui...

These descendants of nobles are the ones who understand the current situation best.

The Turks have already been defeated. What we are doing now is less a battle and more a pursuit and slaughter of the remaining Turkic cavalry.

These are all glittering military achievements!

Jieli's face had turned deathly pale.

The army is in disarray.

It was originally just a motley crew cobbled together by various tribes sending out their troops.

Being treated to this powder keg prepared by Li Chengqian, coupled with the fact that the Turks were indeed, as Li Chengqian had said, treacherous people who broke the alliance, meant that they were truly hostile.

This makes the terrifying "divine power" from before seem perfectly logical.

"Great Khan, retreat! Retreat quickly!"

The lieutenant shouted.

His warhorse also became restless.

however.

Jieli was still somewhat shaken when a sharp, cold shout rang in his ears.

"My son, Jieli! Where are you going!"

Li Chengqian's warhorse accelerated, and beside him, Qianlou, the "Golden SSSR" from the simulated world, whose absolute martial prowess was at the pinnacle, swept his spear with each sweep.

They could sweep away three or four enemies.

Fractured bones, shattered internal organs...

On the other side is Qian Yingying, a woman who is just as capable as any man.

One left and one right.

Li Chengqian quickly broke through the Turkic cavalry in front of him and reached Jieli's side.

"Quick! Run!"

"Protect the Khan! Quickly, protect the Khan! Help him escape!"

Jieli's personal guard cavalry turned their horses around and charged towards Li Chengqian, however...

"Pfft, pfft!"

"Crack!"

"what....."

Warhorses neighed, and blood splattered.

These were rare elites, but in front of Li Chengqian and his two companions, they were as fragile as paper, easily defeated in a single glance.

In an instant, more than a dozen people fell from their horses.

This scene stunned Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty, who had already been overtaken by Cheng Yaojin and the Xuanjia Army.

This also terrified Jieli, who lost all composure and calmness.

"Quick, let's go!"

Li Chengqian's eyes widened.

"Don't let him get away! Chase him!"

The Tang Dynasty side has gone completely berserk!

The Turkic cavalry, who had finally managed to stabilize their horses, had absolutely no will to fight.

After gathering several members of the same tribe, they immediately fled without looking back.

They all looked panicked and didn't care about the spoils of war.

They didn't care how beautiful Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was, as Jieli described.

How beautiful a woman can be.

How much gold and silver treasure is there...?

At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds.

run!

Run as far as you can!

The Tang Dynasty was blessed by the gods, and the emperor and crown prince of the Tang Dynasty possessed divine power!

Their invasion of the Tang Dynasty has offended the gods. If they linger any longer, not only will they lose their lives in the Tang Dynasty, but their souls will also be condemned by the Eternal Heaven...

Three thousand Xuanjia soldiers, led by Li Shimin, pursued the largest group of Turkic cavalry and engaged in a fierce battle.

Behind them were the six guards of the Eastern Palace, and the various armies of Chang'an.

Like a tidal wave, it swept across the Wei River in the blink of an eye.

Xue Wanche, wielding a horse spear, charged ahead, but he didn't even glance at the several surrendered Turkic soldiers he met.

He swung his lance in a wide arc.

A large, handsome head soared into the air.

"Kill! Kill them all! Anyone who dares to cause trouble in my Great Tang Dynasty should not expect to live!"

"Reveal His Highness the Crown Prince's decree!"

"Take no prisoners!"

The sounds of hacking and trembling pleas for mercy quickly engulfed the north bank of the Wei River where the Turkic army had been stationed.

Behind Li Chengqian, Hou Junji led a cavalry unit in pursuit.

Just as I was about to say something, I heard His Highness the Crown Prince's excited roar, as if he had spotted prey.

"That fellow in the golden helmet is Jieli! Don't let him get away!"

Upon hearing this death-stricken voice ahead, Jieli's movements on horseback trembled involuntarily.

Almost without thinking.

He hurriedly removed the golden helmet from his head and threw it far away as if it were a plague god.

My BMW sped off.

However, not long after...

"The one wearing the tiger-skin battle robe is Jieli! Don't let him get away!"

Jieli's face instantly turned gloomy and dark.

He was tearing at his battle robes again...

"Your Highness, our warhorses cannot catch up!"

Hou Junji fired several arrows in succession, only managing to hit one of Jieli's personal guards by sheer luck.

After that, he achieved nothing further and angrily cursed.

Upon seeing this, Li Chengqian was so angry that he slapped the other person's helmet.

The sudden action stunned Hou Junji, as well as the cavalry deputy general behind him.

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth.

"Who the hell said we were going to catch up with Jieli? If he dies so quickly, how am I, the Crown Prince, supposed to deal with the Turks after this?!"

"Chase him! Hunt him down! Kill his personal guards if necessary, but we cannot let him lose his life in our Great Tang!"

As Li Chengqian was speaking, he suddenly shouted again.

"Don't let that bastard get away! The one with the long beard is Jieli!"

Chang'an Imperial Palace.

Tai Chi Hall.

The court officials waited anxiously for news.

The commotion outside was so great that the sudden sound of thunder in the clear sky was heard not only by the people of Chang'an, but also reached the imperial palace.

That faint, somewhat muffled rumbling sound.

The powerful families who initially harbored some ulterior motives now exchanged glances with a mixture of surprise and hesitation.

Cui Minshi and several officials from prominent families carefully retreated to a slightly more peripheral position.

"Gentlemen, what do you think? Is His Majesty capable of winning this battle?"

Hearing this, several people looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, Lu Zhaojing of the Lu family of Fanyang glanced around.

He spoke in a low voice, "After all, that's 100,000 Turkic cavalry. And right now, all the gates of Chang'an are locked..."

Zheng Chongyang of the Zheng family in Xingyang shook his head.

"Victory, but most likely a pyrrhic one. What I'm waiting for now is to see how many fierce generals of the Qin Prince's mansion, like Cheng Yaojin, will be lost..."

The group whispered amongst themselves.

The other ministers present, whether they were former officials of the Wude era or old ministers of the Prince of Qin's court, all had solemn expressions and remained silent with their heads bowed.

suddenly.

A sound gradually approached from afar.

The ministers were taken aback and hurriedly rushed out of the hall.

"The Turkic army suffered a devastating defeat after being struck by lightning and is now scattering and fleeing northwards!"

"Our Great Tang army has won a great victory!!!"

"His Highness the Crown Prince led his army to pursue and kill the Turkic Khagan!"

Everyone was instantly stunned.

"What? Heavenly lightning?!"
