——
The wind howled, and the fighting behind them receded further and further away from Huang Yuanlang.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: no matter what, he had to survive.
The destruction of the Panlong Army was only a matter of time, and he absolutely could not die with them.
He kicked the horse's belly, urging it to gallop away at full speed.
Meanwhile, in the rear, the Panlong army was in complete chaos. Their commander, Huang Tianhu, had been killed by his deputy, Huang Yuanlang—a situation no one had anticipated.
Such betrayal on the battlefield is always fatal, no matter when it occurs.
But they had no time to consider anything else, or even think about it carefully, because the Hu cavalry's offensive was getting fiercer and fiercer. Only by killing the enemy soldiers in front of them could they have a chance to survive.
At this moment, the Hu Ma army was growing larger and larger, and the Panlong army's slight advantage had vanished.
The fierce battle echoed across the grasslands...
On the other side, Huang Yuanlang, who had abandoned the Panlong Army, finally arrived at the front of Wei Qing's army after a continuous escape.
From a great distance, he held up two severed heads and shouted loudly:
"Please take me to see the Prince! I have important matters to report!"
Wei Qing frowned. He had noticed the commotion in the Panlong Army earlier and then saw Huang Yuanlang flee the battlefield. He had assumed Huang Yuanlang was cowardly, but now, seeing the severed head he was carrying, he couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt.
"What kind of crazy scheme are they up to?" Wei Qing frowned.
"Let him come here!"
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry made way for Huang Yuanlang to ride over.
He was covered in blood, and sweat soaked his back. The fierce battle had exhausted him. He looked at Wei Qing, panting, and said:
"Please allow me to see Your Highness! I have killed Huang Tianhu! I have other important matters to report!"
Wei Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping back and forth over the head of the person on Huang Yuanlang's horse.
The head with the full beard was undoubtedly that of a Hu Ma man, while the other head belonged to the "Ever-Victorious General" Huang Tianhu!
Wei Qing's eyes were cold as he said in a deep voice:
"Huang Yuanlang, on the battlefield, you killed the commander-in-chief Huang Tianhu!"
Facing Wei Qing's murderous gaze, Huang Yuanlang did not flinch, but met his eyes directly and said in a deep voice:
"Yes! I killed him!"
"If His Highness knew the reasons behind this, he would certainly be pleased to see this outcome!"
"I killed Huang Tianhu and came here only to join the Prince's ranks!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Qing drew his halberd and held it to Huang Yuanlang's neck, coldly saying:
"His Highness has no need for someone like you!"
Huang Yuanlang's expression remained unchanged as he said in a deep voice, "I have important intelligence that Your Highness will surely be willing to hear!"
Wei Qing raised an eyebrow. "Speak! What intelligence?"
Huang Yuanlang took a deep breath and continued, "I will never tell His Highness!"
Wei Qing immediately glared angrily, and with a slight exertion of force, the halberd blade had already cut through Huang Yuanlang's skin, causing traces of blood to seep out.
"Even if you kill me right now, I won't tell."
"This intelligence is of utmost importance to Your Highness. But what will happen after Your Highness hears it?" Huang Yuanlang's face was already pale, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead. Blood and sweat mixed together, making it difficult for him to fully open his eyes.
"Hmph!" Wei Qing snorted coldly and sheathed his halberd.
"Then I'll spare your life for now, and we'll deal with you as we see fit when the lord arrives!"
"Men, tie him up and keep an eye on him!"
——
The following day, in the afternoon.
Qin Ze led his troops to the outside of Julu Pass. On the grassland, Qin Ze looked intently ahead and saw that Wei Qing's troops had set up camp there.
He then looked at the points accumulated by the system. In the past day, he had gained more than 3 million points. If he were to exchange all the accumulated points for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he could exchange them for an army of nearly 70,000 men.
With the current troops, the army will reach over 100,000!
Cha Yuanzhen's army is the strongest force on the grassland. If they were to conquer them, they could obtain countless grains, horses, and other supplies.
Therefore, Qin Ze only intended to launch an overwhelming attack this time and annihilate them all in one fell swoop!
After an incense stick has burned.
The two armies joined forces, and Wei Qing, escorting Huang Yuanlang, rode up on horseback.
Qin Ze received the message from Wei Qing in the morning, and thus knew that Huang Yuanlang had killed Huang Tianhu. As for Huang Yuanlang's desire to join his camp, that was simply wishful thinking!
Who would want a traitor like that, constantly jumping between different sides?
The soldiers I exchanged through the system are all 100% loyal and will never have any disloyalty, so what use are they?
However, Qin Ze was somewhat interested in the secret information Huang Tianhu mentioned.
That's why he didn't immediately order Wei Qing to kill him.
Upon seeing Qin Ze, Huang Yuanlang immediately knelt down.
"Your Highness! This humble general, Huang Yuanlang, wishes to serve Your Highness! If Your Highness accepts me, this humble general will surely repay Your Highness with my life!"
"This head of Huang Tianhu is my pledge of loyalty to Your Highness!" Huang Yuanlang said in a deep voice, his head bowed.
Qin Ze stroked his chin, his cold gaze sweeping over Huang Yuanlang.
"Kill Huang Tianhu as your pledge of loyalty?"
"Come on, tell me first, what information do you have to say?"
Not receiving a reply, Huang Yuanlang hurriedly said:
"Your Highness! This humble general was able to kill the Hu general with a single stroke, demonstrating considerable martial prowess. Moreover, I am skilled in leading troops into battle! Now, I have abandoned the darkness and come to the light, sincerely willing to join Your Highness's ranks. I beg Your Highness to give me a chance!"
Qin Ze frowned and said calmly, "If you don't talk, drag him away and behead him."
