My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

On the walls of Shuofang, a fierce wind whipped up heavy snow, scraping across the gray-black city walls like blades.

The image on the Xuan Guang Water Mirror changed as Li Chengqian moved, projecting the desolate and bleak scene of the border into the warm pavilion of the Qin Prince's mansion with unparalleled clarity.

Outside the city, the dark mass of Xueyantuo and Turkic allied forces stretched as far as the eye could see.

However, this army of 300,000, which should have been formidable, now appeared extremely disheveled.

For three days and three nights in a row, they were disturbed by the banging of gongs and drums. Coupled with the smoke and fumes from the chili peppers and wolf droppings upwind, the eyes of these grassland men were swollen like walnuts and bloodshot. They shivered in the wind and snow.

Even worse, those soldiers who drank the snow water laced with croton powder were too weak to even stand up straight. Their legs were trembling, and they were supporting each other as they shouted and cursed loudly in front of the battle lines.

"Cowards of the Tang Dynasty! Shed cowards! If you have the guts, come out of the city and fight to the death!"

"What kind of hero uses underhanded methods!"

The barbarian generals, mounted on their warhorses and brandishing their scimitars, tried to boost the morale of their army, which had already plummeted to rock bottom, with angry curses.

On the city wall.

Dressed in a black, close-fitting outfit, Li Chengqian stood like an iron tower amidst the wind and snow. He looked down at the clamoring enemy troops below, a cruel sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Archers, prepare!"

He slowly raised his right hand.

At the crenellations of the city wall, thousands of Tang Dynasty archers instantly drew their bows to full draw, and cold arrows were aimed at the allied forces below the city.

"put!"

With Li Chengqian's command, a dense rain of arrows descended like a dark cloud, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as they pierced the air!

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

A series of agonizing screams suddenly erupted from below the city walls, and hundreds upon hundreds of enemy soldiers fell to the ground in the snow like wheat being harvested.

The already exhausted formation suddenly erupted into chaos.

"Open the city gates."

Li Chengqian turned around and gave a cold order to the deputy general guarding the city behind him: "Xuanjia Army, prepare to charge."

"Your subordinate obeys!" The lieutenant accepted the order and immediately turned and ran down the city wall to relay the military command.

however.

Just when everyone thought Li Chengqian would turn around, walk down the city wall, mount his warhorse, and lead his army into battle.

This crown prince of the Tang Dynasty did something that surprised and even horrified everyone!

He strode to the edge of the city wall and stepped directly onto the snow-covered battlements!

The city walls of Shuofang City are five or six zhang high! Even martial arts masters with superb lightness skills would not dare to jump straight down like that, let alone with dense enemy troops below!

"What is he going to do?!"

In the pavilion of the Qin Prince's Mansion in Chang'an, a city thousands of miles away.

When Li Shimin saw this scene in the water mirror, he was so frightened that he trembled all over and stood up abruptly, the movement so great that it even overturned the round stool behind him.

"Chengqian! Are you crazy! Go back!"

Li Shimin roared furiously at the water mirror in mid-air, his dragon eyes bulging as if they were about to burst.

"No—!"

Empress Zhangsun let out a piercing scream, her face instantly turning ashen white, and she closed her eyes in fright.

Princess Chang Le and Princess Gao Yang were also terrified, covering their mouths tightly with their hands, afraid that they would cry out.

Even Xiao Sizi, who was eating hotpot, stopped what she was doing and stared blankly at the Crown Prince standing on the edge of the high city wall in the picture.

on the screen.

Li Chengqian did not hesitate at all.

He leaped!

Like a black roc spreading its wings, it leaped off the five- or six-zhang-high city wall with an indomitable and ferocious momentum!

The wind was whistling in my ears.

The enemy generals below the city wall were all stunned when they saw a person suddenly fall from the city wall.

"Has this Tang Dynasty general gone mad? Is he trying to jump off the city wall to commit suicide?"

A Xueyantuo centurion stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. Falling from that height, wouldn't he be reduced to a pile of minced meat?

"Bang--!!!"

A muffled, deafening roar exploded on the snow!

Li Chengqian's feet slammed heavily onto the hard frozen ground. Centered on him, the snow within a radius of about ten feet was instantly shaken and shot into the sky. The rock-solid frozen ground beneath his feet was also crushed by the terrifying force of his descent, creating a huge spiderweb-like crater!

Amidst the swirling snow and mist.

Li Chengqian slowly straightened up.

He cracked his neck, his knuckles making a sickeningly sharp sound. Aside from some mud and snow splattered on him, he wasn't even scratched; he was completely unharmed!

"hiss--!"

Both the Tang Dynasty soldiers guarding the city walls and the nomadic tribes from the grasslands below gasped in shock!

"Is this even human?!"

"He jumped down from such a high city wall and was completely unharmed? Is he a monster?!"

An uncontrollable panic erupted instantly within the enemy's camp.

The already exhausted and weak soldiers trembled as they looked at the man who had descended like a demon god.

"Open the city gates! All troops, attack! Protect His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The Tang generals on the city wall finally realized what was happening, and they were all terrified, screaming wildly at the top of their lungs.

Accompanied by a teeth-grinding scraping sound, the heavy iron gates of Shuofang City were slowly pushed open, and the black-armored cavalry inside began to surge out like a tide.

But in the pavilion in Chang'an City.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, who was unharmed in the water mirror, and just breathed a sigh of relief. Then his heart jumped into his throat again!

"That unfilial son! What is he doing?! The city gates have only just opened, is he rushing in to his death?!"

Li Shimin clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, almost grinding his teeth to powder.

When Li Chengqian jumped down, Li Chen blocked Si Zi's eyes so she wouldn't see the bloody scene of him going to kill the enemy.

In the picture.

Li Chengqian did not wait for the Xuanjia Army behind him.
