Tang Dynasty: Consort Wu? Your Majesty, please address her as the Crown Prince's Consort.

Looking at the Xuanjia Army standing ready in front of him, Xue Rengui couldn't help but frown slightly.

Just then, a large number of Thousand Bull Guards suddenly appeared from behind, led by Qin Qiong, who was holding a pair of swords and swayed as he arrived behind the Six Guards of the Eastern Palace.

"Hey! Little Xue, why are you alone? Where's the rest of the Donggong? If this is all you guys, we can't win this round!"

Despite Qin Qiong's teasing expression, Xue Rengui remained calm.

He smiled slightly and said:

"Why are you generals in such a hurry? You don't think you can easily take me down just because you've surrounded me, do you?"

Seeing Xue Rengui's calm expression, Qin Qiong and the others couldn't help but frown slightly.

Seeing this, Hou Junji couldn't help but speak up:

"That's not right. The intelligence report also mentioned Duer's steppe cavalry and Prince Qi's Qi family army, but now only the Six Guards of the Eastern Palace are here."

Upon hearing Hou Junji's words, Yuchi Gong replied nonchalantly:

"What's there to be afraid of? With His Majesty and Li Jing here, we'll obey orders!"

Seeing his unwillingness to think, Hou Junji couldn't help but feel speechless.

What a brute!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just then, a loud explosion came from not far away.

The once towering Xuanwu Gate city wall collapsed with a deafening roar amidst the explosion.

A breach appeared directly in the Xuanwu Gate city wall.

Upon seeing this scene, Hou Junji and the others couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

What the hell!

Who buried gunpowder under the city wall of Xuanwu Gate?

As a result, everyone's eyes turned to Qin Qiong.

Feeling the gazes of everyone, Qin Qiong scratched his head sheepishly and said somewhat innocently:

"Oh my god!! It was probably one of those lowly soldiers who was turned by His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Looking at Qin Qiong's innocent face, Hou Junji was completely dumbfounded.

In other words, if the explosives had been buried under the city gate, but right under their feet, those old guys would have been shot dead on the spot.

As the smoke cleared, a troop of cavalry, led by Duer, charged in.

Following closely behind was the Qi Family Army led by Li You.

With their arrival, the situation that was originally unfavorable to the Crown Prince's side was instantly reversed.

Li You couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw the three big characters "Xuanwu Gate".

"Holy crap! Hahaha, I never thought I'd get to visit Xuanwu Gate."

After saying that, he arrogantly pointed in the direction of the Taiji Hall.

"Is Old Deng in the Taiji Hall? Tell him to get out here right now! My elder brother wants the throne. Advise him not to be ungrateful!!"

Seeing Li You's arrogant demeanor, Hou Junji and the others couldn't help but feel their faces darken.

That Prince Qi really deserves a beating; how dare he insult His Majesty?

Not to mention Hou Junji and his group, even Xue Rengui and Du Er couldn't help but feel ashamed.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Your Highness, are you planning to die? Even if we win this battle, His Majesty will just retire, not die!"

"Why waste words with them? Sir, capture the King of Qi, then defeat them one by one."

It has to be said that your Uncle Qin Qiong still chose the most primitive fighting style.

Seeing Qin Qiong charging towards him with his twin swords, Li You couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

Holy crap?

Why are you suddenly coming towards me? This is utterly uncivilized!

Without the slightest hesitation, Li You immediately gave the order.

"Qi Family Army, form ranks and defend!!!"

At his command, Qi Jiguang's army quickly formed a defensive formation.

Wolf-wielding soldiers harassed the cavalry, forcing them to slow down. Shield bearers stepped forward, while the spearmen behind them had now switched their spears for... Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword)!

That's right. In order to deal with the situation of being charged by cavalry, the original spearmen have been replaced by Mo Dao soldiers.

In addition, the wolf-wielding harassment and slowing effect made the cavalry that encountered the Mo Dao soldiers utterly destroyed.

Upon seeing the Mo Dao (陌刀), the cavalry, who had only charged halfway, abruptly stopped. Qin Qiong stared in horror at the Qi family army wielding the Mo Dao.

"Holy crap?"

"Why do you still have the Mo Dao Army?"

The Mo Dao (陌刀) is the natural nemesis of cavalry. This thing can cleave a charging cavalryman and his horse in two.

However, the Mo Dao (陌刀) requires extremely high craftsmanship from artisans and also demands exceptionally high quality from the soldiers who use it.

This also meant that even though the Tang Dynasty was able to manufacture the Mo Dao (陌刀), it had not yet been able to build an army of Mo Dao soldiers who were all equipped with it.

Looking at the rows of cold, gleaming swords before them, the old generals couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Li You subconsciously raised his chin.

"Hehehe! How about it? Isn't my Mo Dao weapon pretty good? This is a new technology invented by my elder brother. The Mo Dao has already been mass-produced in the underground factory in Lantian."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately became agitated.

"What?! The Mo Dao can be mass-produced?!"

Everyone present was a seasoned veteran, and they naturally knew what the words "mass production of the Mo Dao" meant!

In the near future, my elder brother will have a powerful army of Mo Dao soldiers, and with the addition of powerful firearms, the Tang army will be invincible!

While they were in shock, Xue Rengui couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of his mouth.

"Hehe! It's almost time!"

As he finished speaking, a firework rose into the sky from the other end of the palace.

Upon seeing this, Xue Rengui couldn't help but show a look of joy.

"It seems that His Highness the King of Wu and his men have succeeded."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qiong and the others couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Looking at the location where the signal was emitted in the sky, my pupils dilated in shock.

"You...you're targeting Xuanwu Gate, not the Xuanwu Gate?!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Rengui put on an innocent expression.

"There's more than one gate to the palace than Xuanwu Gate, so why insist on sticking to Xuanwu Gate?"

Seeing Xue Rengui's matter-of-fact attitude, Qin Qiong and the others couldn't help but fall silent.

What you said makes absolute sense.

Seeing their silence, Xue Rengui couldn't help but smile slightly and say:

"Gentlemen, shall we continue fighting?"

Seeing the gloating look on this brat's face, Hou Junji couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and say:

"What's the point of fighting! At worst, we'll both be badly injured. Let's go watch the show at the Taiji Hall!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qiong and the others couldn't help but exchange glances.

Yuchi Gong spoke eagerly:

"Let's go! The Taiji Hall is the main venue; we'll just do a token show here!"

So, adhering to the principle of "the more the merrier," the two sides, who were originally at loggerheads, joined forces and marched in a grand procession toward the Taiji Hall.

In terms of troop deployment, the Crown Prince's Palace has the Six Guards of the Crown Prince, Qi Jiguang's Army, and grassland cavalry, led by Xue Rengui and Du'er!

Although Li You was incompetent, Qi Jiguang's army of Mo Dao soldiers was strong. Which general would dare to charge into the Mo Dao army formation on horseback?
