Cheng Yaojin frowned upon hearing this, then said with some difficulty.
"I'll look for an opportunity tomorrow. If a suitable opportunity arises, I'll send them up to make a run."
"But I can't guarantee that. After all, I have to listen to His Majesty. If His Majesty insists on not allowing the eldest grandson's men to participate, I will have no choice but to obey!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yifu chuckled.
"Thank you for your trouble, Steward Cheng. Whether this matter succeeds or fails, I will still offer you my dues!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojin gave Li Yifu a thumbs-up and then chuckled as he saw him off.
The next day, the catapults continued to roar.
However, in order to speed up the process, Li Jue had someone add something special to the stones that were thrown, which accelerated the collapse of the city wall.
Therefore, just after noon, the city wall of Liaodong City shattered with a loud "boom".
This scene not only shocked the city's garrison, but also stunned the Tang soldiers who were sitting on the ground watching the spectacle.

"Charge!"
"You bad boys, charge with me!"

"Cheng Chumo, look who's that kid running in front?"
"Doesn't he look a bit like the eldest grandson?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Chumo looked up and indeed saw a young man dressed like a soldier leading a charge on a chestnut horse.
"Father, that person looks like the eldest grandson..."
"What?"
"Catch up with him quickly, whatever you do, don't let him get into the city..."
While Cheng Yaojin was frantically chasing Li Jue, Li Shimin also saw his eldest grandson running in the lead.
How did he manage to get past that?
"Your Majesty, it was the eldest grandson who breached the city wall..."
"You unfilial grandson!"
"Hundred Cavalry Commanders, heed my command! Charge with me!"
"promise!"
