"Block him for me, he wants to shoot me dead." Yin Jin'an watched as the other man nocked an arrow, but he remained calm and said to the Imperial City Guards, "Keep throwing grenades for me."

Wasn't the plan to use Peng Qunpai to advance the campaign?

I have earthenware pot bombs, let's blow them all up!

It was a fierce battle. The archers of Dongqin were all skilled archers, but the people of the Imperial City Guard were exceptionally talented and highly skilled. They either deflected the arrows with their swords or blocked them with their shields.

Yin Jin'an was unharmed, while Dong Qin suffered heavy casualties.

This was a one-sided crushing defeat.

"Everyone, find a way to send that lightning bolt back!" The dozen or so young generals of Dongqin were both angry and shocked.

Their excellent martial arts skills were completely useless here.

A good weapon is like a life.

The imperial weapons ground them to the ground, and all their former confidence vanished with each "boom," leaving only fear and dread of death.

Dong Qin looked at Yin Jin'an, that unruly person, the one who used to be easy to talk to and negotiate with, but now he was not easy to negotiate with at all.

He calmly and coldly watched Dong Qin kill, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Dongqin discovered the weakness of the clay pot mine—it was afraid of fire!

He immediately ran to his army supply wagon, stripped the cook's clothes off, and poured cooking oil on them.

"Quickly, wrap your clothes around the arrowheads, pour oil on them, set them on fire, and shoot them at those carriages!" he shouted. "Thunder fears fire!"

If they ignite those truckloads of "heavenly bombs," and the other side doesn't have time to throw them back, then the other side will be the ones killed.

Yin Jin'an had been observing them, and when he saw Dong Qin nock the rockets on his bow, he immediately shouted, "Stop those rockets!"

The shield bearers immediately did their best to protect the vehicle carrying the clay pot mines.

Just then, three whooshing sounds pierced the air, and Wei Ziying shouted, "Lord Xiaoyao, I will assist you!"

The arrow, carrying immense force, shot towards Dongqin.

Dongqin was unable to dodge in time, and an arrow pierced through his shoulder blade.

Yin Jin'an said to the Imperial City Guards, "Light all the lightning bolts and throw them out."

The enemy has set their sights on rockets; how can he keep guarding against them all the time? If he makes a careless move and the bomb explodes, they will die unjustly.

Several carts were filled with earthenware pots of explosives, and each member of the Imperial City Guard carried one. Following Yin Jin'an's instructions, they lit them all and threw them at the rebel army.

The bombing was intense, and the soldiers of the Military Command attacked even more bravely.

Thunder, rockets, arrows...

The fighting was fierce, and blood flowed like a river!

Although Zhou Shaoyu claimed to be seriously injured, his scouts reported that the enemy's leader was actually Dong Qin. He pursed his lips, and the temperature around him dropped several degrees.

He had investigated Dongqin.

When he discovered that Dong Qin was working for Xie Zhaozhao, he stopped.

He chose to fully respect and trust Xie Zhaozhao.

But this person, whom Xie Zhaozhao completely trusted and whom she entrusted with her back, chose to betray her!

Zhou Shaoyu's resentment was even greater than Yin Jin'an's.

He was incredibly relieved that he hadn't brought Xie Zhaozhao out.

He was extremely relieved and instructed Nanxing and Beichen, "Madam must stay in confinement for a full forty-two days. Under no circumstances should you tell Madam any bad news."

If Zhaozhao were here, how heartbroken she would be to see all this!

The enraged man's face darkened. Ignoring everyone's attempts to stop him, he changed into his armor and prepared to leave the palace to personally kill the traitor.

Emperor Hui said anxiously, "Jingchen, the way of a ruler lies in knowing the people and bringing them peace. Since you have employed Marquis Xiaoyao, you must trust him without reservation. When the ruler is in court, the people are at ease. When the ruler personally takes charge of matters, what use are the ministers?"

Zhou Shaoyu remained silent. This was no longer a matter of trust or distrust; that scoundrel dared to betray Zhaozhao, and he would have to face his wrath.

"With the weapons of the Marquis of Xiaoyao and the 100,000 troops of the Military Command, rest assured, the capital cannot be breached." Emperor Hui, unaware of his thoughts, said to Wei Ziying, "Go and lend the Marquis of Xiaoyao a hand."

Wei Ziying left the Qin Zheng Hall, rode up to the rear of Yin Jin'an's entourage, nocked an arrow, and fired three arrows in quick succession, hitting Dong Qin.

Dongqin was being relentlessly attacked by Waguan Lei, and the military command launched a strong attack from the rear, resulting in heavy casualties. As darkness fell, he had no choice but to abandon his armor and weapons and lead his troops to break through from both sides.

One person can escape, and that's one more!

Seeing him break through and escape, Yin Jin'an cursed, "You scoundrel, where do you think you're going? Don't you want to give her an explanation?"

Dong Qin fled, but Yin Jin'an, carrying a clay pot thunderbolt, gave chase.

Seeing that he couldn't shake him off, Dongqin reined in his horse and stopped.

He turned to look at Yin Jin'an and said, "Yin Jin'an, you are loyal to the emperor, and I am filial to my parents. I will avenge my parents' deaths. To prevent further harm to the innocent, I will settle this with a duel. What do you say?"

“They are not innocent!” Yin Jin’an pointed his whip at the panicked soldiers and said, “They followed you in rebellion, so they are traitors.”

The Imperial City Guard told Yin Jin'an, "My lord, be careful he doesn't try anything."

Yin Jin'an would naturally be careful; his father was killed by that scoundrel Wei Anyuan, so he would never negotiate with Dong Qin.

The person in front of me is no longer my brother.

Dong Qin wiped the blood from his face, took off his helmet, and said to Yin Jin'an, "I'll fight you. If you win, I'll surrender and be at your mercy. If I win, please don't stop me, okay?"

Yin Jin'an said, "I could blow you up, why would I bother betting with you? Who do you think you are!"

“Yin Jin’an, I have brothers and countless spies in the capital. If you don’t let me go, they will spread Xie Zhaozhao’s secrets.”

Yin Jin'an was furious.

The carefree Marquis, who always preferred action to words, lit a tinderbox and threw a clay pot bomb without saying a word: "I'll blow you up, you utterly despicable scoundrel!"
