In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

City Lord's Mansion.

Bright lights.

Compared to the devastation and dense military presence to the south, this area was much more peaceful and largely undamaged.

It is worth mentioning that all the defensive measures here were also ordered to be dismantled by Li Yuanchang. He believed that building a second line of defense was to tell his subordinates that the first line of defense could be lost.

He didn't want his men to feel that he, Li Yuanchang, had created a shell for him, leaving them to fight desperately on the front lines.

"Your Highness!"

As soon as they entered the city lord's mansion, a familiar voice rang out.

Chi Lian hurried over, carrying a lantern.

Li Yuanchang smiled.

His men quickly retreated, making room for him.

Under the dim lights, Chi Lian, dressed in a red dress, had a figure that was nothing short of terrifying. Whether it was due to her martial arts training or the fact that she had given birth, her figure had become even more "frightening".

"Curvy" is an understatement; it's like a figure created by AI in 21st-century anime—a slim waist but a huge, round, millstone-sized buttocks that are undeniably beautiful.

Her face is thin, but her chest seems ready to burst out at any moment.

Li Yuanchang embraced her, greedily inhaling the rich fragrance of her hair, which was the complete opposite of the smell of blood.

The two remained silent, only embracing tightly.

a long time.

Li Yuanchang patted her buttocks: "Let's go inside and talk."

"yes."

Chi Lian smiled slightly, her beauty and sexiness captivating.

The two entered the room, and Chi Lian stepped forward to change her clothes; she was skilled in both literature and martial arts.

"Why are you here?"

"Women are not allowed in the army," Li Yuanchang said, turning around.

Chi Lian laughed and said, "Your Highness, this isn't the army camp. I didn't go to the city wall, did I?"

Li Yuanchang was speechless; what he said seemed to make sense.

"Then why did you come here?"

Chi Lian said, "Your Highness has been gone for several months. He said he would come back soon, but he never did. His family is very worried."

"The Princess is worried that you will be left unattended in Anshi City, but she is also afraid that the arrival of female relatives will hinder Your Highness."

"So after much thought, I decided to step forward."

"Don't forget, I am from the Black Ice Guard and can also help Your Highness," she explained, afraid of being driven away by Li Yuanchang.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanchang felt guilty, realizing he had indeed broken his promise.

"Is everything alright at home?"

Are the children making a fuss?

When the topic turned to the children, a tender look appeared in Chi Lian's eyes, despite his background as a bandit. He said earnestly, "Your Highness, rest assured, everything is fine at home."

"Aside from crying for His Highness, the children are in good health. Zhaoye can already ride a horse and shoot arrows."

Li Yuanchang nodded: "That's good."

"Where is Yin Yao?"

"Your Highness, Sister Yin is doing well too. Her belly is already quite big, so please don't worry."

Li Yuanchang exhaled a breath of stale air and sighed, "Now that you mention it, I really want to go back."

"However, I am preoccupied with military affairs."

Chi Lian looked at his stubble-covered face and exhaustion, a pang of heartache appearing in her eyes.

"Your Highness, I will stay with you."

As she spoke, she hugged Li Yuanchang from behind, her full, soft breasts squeezing and deforming.

Li Yuanchang instantly sensed it; his body, which had been abstinent from women for months, suddenly stirred with a primal energy.

Looking at the house again, it had been cleaned spotlessly, and new bedding and fragrance had been added.

Nighttime, the bedchamber, a man and a woman, it seemed that all the conditions were met.

Li Yuanchang stroked her hand and smiled, "How will you keep me company?"

Seeing that he did not refuse, Chi Lian suddenly became bolder, breathing heavily in his ear and deliberately using an ambiguous tone.

"Your Highness, please accompany me however you wish."

"In the Prince of Han's mansion, even when the children grew up, they still had to hide their identities. Now they don't have to worry about that anymore."

puff!

Li Yuanchang was amused by these lewd words, turned around and picked them up in his arms.

Chi Lian was definitely the most important woman in the Han Prince's mansion. She was completely different from Qian Rou. However, her plumpness was not fat, but a perfect, round and smooth figure with a terrifyingly high waist and hip curve.

"Why has it gotten bigger again?"

Chi Lian glanced down, chuckled—a seductive and sexy chuckle—then loosened her belt, tossed it aside casually, and bit her lip, saying each word clearly, "It's all His Highness's!"

Li Yuanchang's tension on the battlefield was released like a flood, and the flames within him burned fiercely.

Without saying a word, he pushed the person down.

boom!

The soft couch swayed and its wooden legs creaked, as if it couldn't bear the weight.

Chi Lian's breathing quickened, she closed her eyes and raised her chin, letting Li Yuanchang do as he pleased.

The lamplight flickered, clothes were torn and slipped to the foot of the bed.

Chi Lian turned around, tied her long hair in front of her chest, revealing her smooth and fair back, and then bent slightly, creating an explosive visual impact!

Li Yuanchang almost had a nosebleed on the spot.

As an old married couple, he stopped talking about gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and humility, and went straight into action.

Inside the sleeping quarters, the waves crashed against the rocks in a rhythmic manner.

"..."

The next day.

Before dawn, the Tang army launched a renewed attack!

The deafening shouts of battle and the thunderous bombardment of catapults shattered the tranquility of the night once again, dragging us into an endless abyss of war.

Even though Chi Lian had ordered the doors and windows to be closed and screens to block out the light so that Li Yuanchang could sleep longer, Chi Lian still managed to do so.

Despite the commotion, Li Yuanchang was still awakened.

Last night was enchanting, as if it were a dream.

He woke up from his dream and once again took up his gun and went into battle.

boom! !

The boulder fell into the city, smashing a huge crater in the street and shattering the bluestone slabs into dust.

Li Yuanchang crouched low in the trench, quickly traversing it to reach the inner city wall as soon as possible, where he observed through binoculars.

Below, the Tang army blotted out the sky, with countless military flags.

Today, Ashina She'er changed his attack strategy, perhaps because yesterday's losses were too great, at least ten times that of the Han army.

He somehow managed to get a group of Goguryeo people to lead the charge, clearing the way for the main force and bearing the losses.

Moreover, the trebuchets that bombarded Anshi City also sent stones flying with flames.

When large numbers of fireballs fell on Anshi City, they caused no fewer than twenty fires in an instant, putting pressure on logistics and forcing the deployment of manpower to fight the fires.

But under Li Yuanchang's command, Anshi City continued to operate like a precise instrument, flawless and impregnable.

Some were ready to fight, some were preparing, and some were putting out fires. Everyone performed their duties without any chaos. Even the archers were perfectly coordinated, firing in unison and not wasting a single second of their suppressive force.

The battle raged from morning until noon once again, but strangely, the Tang army suddenly stopped its attack.

At first, Li Yuanchang thought that Ashina She'er had been driven back, but soon the horn of the Tang army's attack sounded again, and a large number of Tang soldiers began to charge.

The battle between the two sides broke out again.

"Your Highness, look! What's that?"

Li Yuanchang also noticed something was wrong; the attacking Tang army was divided into countless small teams pulling carts.

The cart could only transport some food and corpses, and had almost no use on the battlefield; it was not an offensive weapon.

"What are they doing?"
