Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Outside the Black Wind Pass Gorge, on the scorched earth piled with corpses, the cries of killing, the clanging of metal, and the howling of the dying ignited like a boiling furnace, completely igniting this land of death. The Black Armored Cavalry and the remnants of the Shenmu Army were like two torrents of steel, saturating every inch of the land with sticky blood and shredded flesh. The smoke of gunpowder, mixed with the foul smell of sulfur and blood, weighed heavily on the chest of every living creature.

On the edge of the battlefield, the Northern Mang Light Cavalry, who were wandering around like ghosts, suddenly let out a completely different roar, one filled with greed and fanaticism!

"Kill! Seize the food and fodder! Seize the silver carriage!"

"Gold, silver, and treasures! They're all ours!"

“Charge——!!!”

Tuoba Hong led the charge! His beard bulged, his eyes blazing with the green light of a hungry wolf! With his scimitar, he fiercely cleaved the neck of a Shenmu logistics soldier who tried to stop him! Blood splattered! Without even a glance at the fallen corpse, he pointed his clawed hand at a few nearby supply convoys, which were surrounded by simple wooden fences and guarded by a few Shenmu auxiliary soldiers!

"There! Charge at me!"

"Roar--!!!"

Thousands of Northern Mang light cavalry, like sharks smelling blood, instantly turned their horses! They ignored the Shenmu battle formation engaged in a flanking battle with the Xuanjia Army, and even more so the scattered arrows fired from the distant Daqian army! Their eyes were focused solely on the baggage carts laden with fodder, weapons, and even the faint outline of silver chests! Whips lashed wildly! Warhorses neighed as they crashed through the wooden fences! Scimitars slashed like sickles at the panicked, defenseless Shenmu auxiliary troops!

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The sound of blades piercing flesh mingled with desperate howls! The Shenmu auxiliary soldiers guarding the baggage train collapsed like fallen wheat! The Beimang cavalrymen leaped from their horses with wild laughter! They hacked with swords! They chopped with axes! They frantically pried open the heavy wooden boxes! Glittering copper coins! Glittering silver ingots! Brand new crossbow arrows! Even smoked meat jerky, reeking of meat! Like a flood bursting through a dam, they were exposed to greedy eyes!

"Get rich! Get rich!"

"Hurry! Load the truck! Take as much as you can!"

"Hang it all on the horse's back! Quick!"

The Northern Mang soldiers went completely crazy! They tore into the grain bags! They fought over the silver ingots! They lashed the heavy crossbows to the sides of the saddles! Some even fought over a bag of dried meat! The scene was a chaotic mess! It was like the most primitive beasts sharing their prey!

“Asshole—!!!”

A roar like that of a wounded lion erupted! Helian Tieshu's massive figure appeared on the flank of the battlefield like an iron tower! His giant axe was still dripping with the blood of the black-armored soldiers, and his eyes, like copper bells, stared intently at the baggage area being ravaged by the Northern Wilderness cavalry, their glare piercing his eyes!

"Tuoba Hong! You treacherous jackal—!!!" Helian Tieshu's voice was filled with rage and disbelief! He had never imagined that the Northern Mang people would dare to attack Shenmu's supplies right under his nose!

"General! What should we do?!" A Shenmu captain, his face covered in blood, spoke in a panic, "The Northern Mang people...they..."

"Kill! Kill all these beasts!" Helian Tieshu pointed his giant axe at the baggage area, his voice like thunder! "Don't leave any alive!"

"General! No!" Another general's face was pale, his voice trembling, "That's... that's the King of Beimang! Tuoba Hong! If you kill him... Beimang will definitely rebel! As for the King..."

Helian Tieshu's massive body suddenly stiffened! As if bound by invisible chains! He gripped the handle of his giant axe tightly, his knuckles turning white! Yes! Tuoba Hong is the King of Northern Mang! Killing him... would mean a complete break with Northern Mang! It might even lead to Northern Mang's revenge! At this time when Shenmu is in turmoil...

At this moment of hesitation!

"call out--!"

A poisoned wolf-fang arrow, with a shrill scream, shot out from the chaotic Northern Mang cavalry! The target—Helian Tieshu!

Helian Tieshu instinctively turned sideways! The arrow grazed his shoulder armor, sending up a trail of sparks!

"Hahaha! General Helian! Thank you for the gift! I... accept it with pleasure!" Tuoba Hong's wild laughter came from behind the baggage cart! His hands, like withered claws, were slamming a heavy silver box shut and throwing it to the guards beside him!

"You—!" Helian Tieshu was so angry that his entire body was shaking! He nearly gnashed his steel teeth to pieces! But he looked at the panicked eyes of the generals around him, at the stalemate on the battlefield in the distance... Finally, the axe he had raised high... dropped powerlessly.

"Retreat..." Helian Tieshu's voice was filled with endless humiliation and exhaustion, "Hold the line... Leave them alone..."

The soldiers of Shenmu watched their baggage being looted and saw the general's humiliated back. Their morale plummeted instantly! The front was shaky!

On the other side! Outside Qin Ming's camp!

A smaller force of Northern Mang cavalry, like ghosts, bypassed the fierce frontal battlefield and pounced on a relatively vulnerable transit camp behind the Daqian army! Inside the camp, a large number of arrows waiting to be transported, iron pieces for armor repairs, and some replacement horses were piled up!

"Who is it?!" the Xuanjia sergeant guarding the camp shouted, pointing his spear at the galloping Northern Mang cavalry!

"By order of General Meng Zhi! Reinforce the front line! Open the camp gate immediately!" The leading centurion of Beimang raised a forged token and spoke urgently!

"Reinforcements?" The sergeant frowned, looking at the man's disorganized attire and greedy eyes, alarm bells rang in his heart! "The tokens don't match! Be alert!"

"Kill!" His disguise exposed! A fierce gleam flashed in the Northern Mang centurion's eyes! He slashed down with his scimitar!

"Enemy attack——!!!" The leader roared! He thrust out with his spear!

puff!

The spear pierced the centurion's chest! But more Northern Wilderness cavalrymen were already pouring in like a tide! The camp fence was knocked open by the warhorses! Although the guarding black armor soldiers were brave, they were too few in number! They were instantly plunged into a bitter battle!

"Seize the horses! Seize the arrows!" the Northern Wilderness cavalry cried out! Their goal was clear! No killing! Only looting! Using scimitars to split the ropes holding the arrows! Using ropes to lasso the panicked horses! Like a swarm of locusts!

"Stop them!" A member of the Black Armor Team was furious, and he and several other soldiers were blocking the tent where the iron sheets were stored!

"Get out of here!" A Northern Mang cavalryman grinned and threw out a poisoned spear!

The team was waving their swords to block the attack! But another cavalryman had already rushed over! The heavy horse hoof stepped hard on his chest!

“Ugh—!” The captain spurted blood and fell heavily to the ground!

The tent was opened! The heavy iron sheet was dragged onto the horse's back by the Northern Wilderness cavalry with ropes! The warhorse neighed as it was forcibly driven!

Chaos! Looting! Spreading through the camp like a plague!

Luoyingpo Heights, Qin Ming’s camp.

“Report!!!!” A scout tumbled and crawled into the imperial tent, his voice filled with fear and anger: “Your Majesty! Northern Mang Tuoba Hong! He led his troops to raid our rear transfer camp! He stole three thousand bundles of arrows and over a hundred horses!
