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

Li Chengqian couldn't help but twitch his lips.

This old man has no shame. The Xuanjia Army is a heavy cavalry force! These three thousand Xuanjia soldiers once drove Dou Jiande's army of one hundred thousand to their knees.

Seemingly sensing everyone's thoughts, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile slightly, then spoke with a disdainful expression:

"Hehe! Don't worry, I'll have the Xuanjia Army wear leather armor. Three thousand against three thousand, if they still don't dare, then they don't need to go to the grasslands."

"I don't want you to go and die. Once you're on the grasslands, you'll face far more than three thousand cavalrymen."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian no longer hesitated.

"Alright! Then let's fight. Your son is sure he can do it."

However, Li Chengqian's tone revealed a sense of unease and lack of confidence.

Seeing that his rebellious son agreed, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile slightly.

Finally, I have a reason to beat this unfilial son in front of everyone.

Li Chengqian was overjoyed. He feigned weakness to give the old man a big surprise, and finally he could beat him up in front of everyone.

Let's first pretend to be Tang Yin and give him a piece of our mind!

Hehehe!

The father and son each harbored their own ulterior motives, while the military general couldn't help but show his excitement.

It has been many years since Your Majesty ascended the throne that I have seen Your Majesty personally on the battlefield. Thinking back, the heroic figure of three thousand fighting against one hundred thousand at Hulao Pass is still vivid in my mind.

Li Tai, on the other hand, looked at Li Chengqian with a gloating expression. He didn't think his father's Xuanjia Army would lose, and that Li Chengqian would be embarrassed.

……

Return to the Eastern Palace.

Li Chengqian immediately summoned Xue Rengui and Yang Zaixing.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Li Chengqian immediately asked:

"How is the training of the three thousand men at the Eastern Palace going?"

Upon hearing this, the two were slightly taken aback. Xue Rengui immediately cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and replied:

"Your Highness! Three thousand men have completed their training; they only need to be sent to the battlefield to see some blood before they become a true elite!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

Among the three thousand troops of the Eastern Palace, there were also ten Tiger and Leopard Cavalrymen he had previously drawn from the system. In addition, there were Xue Rengui and Yang Zaixing. He dared to fight even against his own father's Xuanjia Army.

Moreover, he also possesses the legacy of the Overlord. If it weren't for the martial arts demonstration that allowed him to unleash his full power, he, Xue Rengui, and Yang Zaixing alone would be enough to take down these unarmored Xuanjia soldiers!

Xiang Yu's bravery is unparalleled throughout history. When he was surrounded on all sides, even Liu Bang dared not fight when only one side was missing. In the end, Xiang Yu still managed to escape to the Wujiang River.

And this is even recorded in official history!

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian turned to the two people in front of him and told them about what had happened in court that day.

Upon hearing their prince's words, Xue Rengui and Yang Zaixing were dumbfounded.

"Huh? Fight His Majesty's Xuanjia Army? Us?"

Xue Rengui was stunned. Those were the Xuanjia Army! Although the Crown Prince's six guards were not bad, they were ultimately a group of rookies who had never been on the battlefield.

His Majesty's Xuanjia Army is already famous throughout the world, he can't even imagine how His Majesty could lose!

Seeing Xue Rengui's helpless expression, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile and said:

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just Li Shimin; do you think I'd let that old bastard turn the world upside down?"

The two were speechless upon hearing Li Chengqian's words.

Having lived for so many years, this is the first time I have ever seen someone as filial as His Highness.

Li Chengqian waved his hand at them and said:

"During this period, we will practice charging and attacking. When the time comes, we won't have to worry about anything else. There will be no tactics; we'll just charge in!"

Moreover, the Xuanjia Army doesn't wear armor, so we might not necessarily lose!

Looking at his prince's confident demeanor, and recalling the mountain lord from before, it seemed that he wasn't entirely invincible.

If the entire Xuanjia Army were to be fully clad in heavy armor, they would be a real challenge, but if they were to be in leather armor, it seems like they might be able to put up a fight!

Time flies, three days later.

On a plain outside Chang'an, two armies faced off.

Li Shimin rode his warhorse at the forefront, followed by three thousand Xuanjia soldiers with solemn expressions, exuding a unique aura of killing intent.

On the other hand, Li Chengqian's side also had three thousand cavalry, and although their morale was not weak, they were far inferior to the Xuanjia Army opposite them.

Even the soldiers felt a little uneasy when they saw the Xuanjia Army on the other side!

That army on the other side looks fierce; it's terrifying.

Although this was a martial arts demonstration, the swords had no blades, the spears had no heads, and even the hooves of the warhorses were covered with a layer of soft cloth.

Even so, getting stepped on can break two bones.

I won't die, but it hurts like hell!

In order to deal with the emergency, Li Shimin summoned all the top-ranked imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital, and even Sun Simiao was on standby.

On a high platform not far away, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he looked at the two opposing armies in the distance.

"Goodness! His Highness the Crown Prince's cavalry looks quite strong. If they saw blood on the battlefield, they would definitely be an elite force!"

Hearing this, Yuchi Gong couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Which of the generals present wasn't a seasoned veteran? With their keen eyesight, they could naturally discern the quality of Li Chengqian's cavalry.

Li Ji, who was not far away, couldn't help but speak up after hearing their conversation:

"What a pity! His Highness the Crown Prince faced the Xuanjia Army right away. They are just a bunch of new recruits; they've already lost before the battle even began!"

"Hehe! I don't think so!"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look in the direction from which the voice came.

But the person speaking was none other than Li Jing.

Seeing this, Li Ji asked with some confusion:

"Does the Pharmacist perhaps believe that His Majesty's Xuanjia Army will lose?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Li Jing with curiosity. No one present thought that His Majesty's Xuanjia Army would lose this battle.

Because in their minds, His Majesty had never lost a battle when he personally led the Xuanjia Army.

If anyone else had said this, they would have immediately retorted that he was helpless. But the speaker was none other than Li Jing, the military genius of the Tang Dynasty! If even he said this, then it remains to be seen whether it is true.

Upon seeing this, Li Jing smiled slightly, then shook his head and said:

"The outcome of this round is still uncertain. His Majesty may not win, and His Highness the Crown Prince may not lose. Pay close attention to His Highness the Crown Prince's formation, and the first soldier in each rank!"

Upon hearing Li Jing's words, everyone couldn't help but look towards Li Chengqian's army formation.

It would have been better if I hadn't looked; what I saw shocked me.

The army of the Eastern Palace was arranged in a cone shape, with Crown Prince Li Chengqian at the forefront, and Xue Rengui and Yang Zaixing on his left and right behind him.

Most importantly, the first soldier in each row was horrified to discover that the aura emanating from these soldiers was in no way inferior to that of the Xuanjia Army soldiers, and they were not even in the same league as the group of greenhorns behind them.

Moreover, judging from His Highness the Crown Prince's formation, it seems that His Highness has no intention of defending. The cone-shaped battle formation is the most classic offensive formation!
