The tents in front of them were blown away by explosives, and arrows pierced the chests of those around them.
"Prince, something terrible has happened! The Huo family army is attacking!"
The lieutenant crawled out of the ashes and shielded Hegi with his body.
However, the next second, an arrow pierced his throat, and blood gushed out, staining Heggie's face red.
In his horror, he crawled out from under the lieutenant's corpse and quickly climbed towards the horses.
When Zheng Sanbao saw him trying to escape, he coldly held the arrow and aimed it at his body.
"Whoosh—"
The arrow shot out like lightning, with a glass bottle containing sulfuric acid hanging at its tip, shattering into pieces the moment it hit Heggie.
Thick sulfuric acid instantly soaked through Heggie's clothes, flowing and corroding his body.
Before Heggie could react, he felt a burning pain coming from behind.
He was immediately in excruciating pain, rolling on the ground and howling in agony.
But the next second, he saw countless dark figures descend from the sky and surround him.
Qin Yue Zhao held a long sword, coldly pressing it against his neck.
And so Heji was successfully captured by Qin Yuezhao.
The Huo family army fought fiercely in the Northern Barbarian camp.
After the battle, Qin Yue Zhao led He Ji all the way to the Northern Barbarian Imperial City.
Qin Yue Zhao escorted He Ji to the foot of the Northern Barbarian Imperial City. The soldiers on the city wall were shocked to see their prince in such a disheveled state.
But Qin Yue Zhao shouted loudly, "If you don't want the prince to die, open the city gates and surrender immediately."
The city was thrown into chaos, with ministers arguing endlessly.
Some advocated fighting to the death to rescue the prince, while others, fearing the ferocity of the Huo family army, wanted to surrender.
Just as the stalemate was at hand, Heggie, enduring the excruciating pain, shouted, "Don't open the door! I'd rather die!"
Qin Yue Zhao sneered, and with a slight exertion of force on her longsword, a bloody gash appeared on Heji's neck.
At this moment, the princess of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom suddenly appeared on the city wall. She looked at Heji's miserable state and was filled with grief.
She said to Qin Yue Zhao, "Release my brother, and I'm willing to go back to Da Gan with you as a hostage."
Qin Yue Zhao sneered. He Ji is a prince. How can a princess compare to him?
She did not agree to the Northern Barbarian princess's request, but instead ordered the Huo family army to launch a full-scale attack.
The northern barbarians are thrown into chaos by the injury of their prince and the hostage situation of their princess.
At night, Qin Yuezhao pondered the battle situation alone in her tent.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside.
It turned out that the Northern Barbarian Kingdom had sent elite assassins to rescue the prince.
The assassins were agile and engaged in fierce fighting with the guards of the Huo family army.
Qin Yue Zhao quickly donned her armor and engaged in battle. Her swordsmanship was fierce, and she managed to block many assassins and capture the Northern Barbarian princess.
The Northern Barbarian Princess loudly stopped Qin Yue Zhao, saying that her invasion with troops would only prolong the war between the two countries and cause more innocent people to suffer.
Upon hearing the princess's words, Huo's army hesitated for a moment before gradually ceasing their attack.
Qin Yue Zhao felt a greater sense of respect for the princess.
