Fifteen minutes later.

The twenty-nine surviving villagers, escorted by wounded cavalrymen, embarked on their journey to Jing'an City.

The group walked further and further away, disappearing at the end of the forest path.

Chu Yun turned to look at Ma Dong beside him.

"Deputy General Ma, the vanguard camp of the barbarian army is located in a valley twenty miles to the northwest. There are only about 150 men left behind, and they are scattered around looting. Now is the best time to wipe out their stronghold."

"I propose we go and do it!"

Before their main force returned, they wiped out the camp in one fell swoop, captured the barbarian centurion alive, and forced him to reveal the main army's specific marching route.

This is much faster and more efficient than our blind reconnaissance.

Upon hearing this, Ma Dong's eyes instantly lit up.

"Your Highness is absolutely right! This idea is brilliant!"

Our troops are currently in high spirits; dealing with this scattered group of barbarian soldiers will be a piece of cake!

Ma Dong turned to look at the cavalry behind him and shouted loudly.

"Brothers! His Highness has ordered a preemptive strike to wipe out the barbarian camp! With His Highness leading the charge, a mere hundred or so cavalrymen are nothing short of easy prey!"

"Kill the barbarian dogs! A meritorious deed!"

"Follow His Highness and let's fight to our hearts' content!"

The cavalrymen were instantly ignited, each brandishing their weapons, cheering loudly, their eyes filled with eager anticipation.

In their view, with the Sixth Prince leading the team, let alone 150 men, even 300 could be wiped out without a single survivor.

Seeing that no one objected, Chu Yun immediately gave the order in a deep voice.

"The entire army gallops northwest, heading straight for the barbarian camp!"

"Yes, sir!"

Ninety cavalrymen followed closely behind Chu Yun, galloping towards the valley in the northwest.

Half an hour later.

A continuous valley came into view.

Chu Yun reined in his horse and stopped it on a high slope, gazing into the distance.

In the heart of the valley, on a wide, flat area, dozens of black tents are arranged in a neat and orderly fashion.

Outside the tent, dozens of barbarian soldiers were leisurely moving around. Some were polishing their scimitars, some were feeding their horses, and some were sitting together making a fire and cooking. Herds of warhorses were tied up to the side, leisurely grazing on the grass.

The entire camp was extremely relaxed.

Ma Dong glanced at the size of the camp and lowered his voice.

"Your Highness, judging from the situation, there are at most thirty or forty barbarian soldiers in the camp. The other squads are probably still out raiding and haven't returned yet."

"Perfect!" Chu Yun's eyes sharpened. "The camp is empty; this is the perfect opportunity!"

Launch a surprise attack immediately, wipe out the remaining barbarian soldiers in one fell swoop, and capture their camp!

"Your subordinate obeys!" Ma Dong nodded emphatically, then turned and shouted to the cavalry behind him, "Brothers, form ranks and prepare to charge! Target: the barbarian camp! Kill!"

The cavalrymen quickly adjusted their formation, transforming from a loose column into a tight charging formation, each gripping their weapons tightly, ready to charge.

Meanwhile, inside the barbarian army camp in the valley.

The barbarian soldiers were sitting around the campfire, chatting loudly, their voices full of complaints.

"Oh, what bad luck! Our team has been busy for most of the day and all we've managed to snatch are a few chickens and ducks and a little bit of food. We can't even get a full meal."

"I wonder how the centurion is doing. He hasn't come back yet. He must have made a lot of gains and gotten a lot of good stuff."

"The other two teams haven't come back either; they're probably out there looting. Our team has just had terrible luck."

A burly soldier with a fierce face kicked a pebble hard, his face full of displeasure: "I should have followed the centurion; I could have gotten some benefits too."

"Alright, stop complaining!" an older barbarian soldier scolded. "Hurry up and start a fire to cook. Fill your stomachs first, and we'll get some more rations when the other squads return."

Just then, a rapid and dense sound of horses' hooves came from outside the valley, like muffled thunder, growing ever closer.

"Hahaha! Brothers, it must be the other squads returning!" A barbarian soldier laughed as he stood up, looking towards the valley entrance. "Looks like we're in for a good meal today!"

The barbarian soldiers who were standing guard on a small earthen mound at the edge of the camp also heard the commotion. They immediately raised their hands to shade their eyes and looked into the distance.

That one glance caused his expression to change drastically, his pupils to contract sharply, and the hairs on his body to stand on end.

On the distant mountain road, a cavalry unit was charging at high speed; they were dressed as the Imperial Guards of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Enemies! The Great Qian cavalry!"

The barbarian soldiers on guard duty shouted at the top of their lungs.

The camp erupted in chaos!

The barbarian soldiers, who had been sitting in a circle, dropped their bowls, chopsticks, and scimitars, stood up abruptly, grabbed their weapons, and mounted their horses.

"Damn it! Daqian cavalry actually dared to attack our camp? These Daqian cowards, are they tired of living?"

"Brothers, mount your horses! Prepare for battle! Let them know what the might of the Northern Barbarian cavalry is!"

"The time to make a name for ourselves has come! Charge in and wipe out these damned dogs!"

"I didn't expect them to come to us like this. Perfect, saves us the trouble of looking for them!"

Forty barbarian cavalrymen quickly assembled, brandishing their scimitars, and formed a charging formation, heading towards Chu Yun and his group.

Chu Yun took the lead and charged ahead.

Seeing the barbarian cavalry charging towards him, his eyes turned cold, his aura surged, he gripped the shaft of the Overlord Spear with one hand, and spurred his horse's belly hard with both legs.

With a neigh, his warhorse spurred itself forward, accelerating like an arrow shot from a bow, and charged into the enemy ranks.

There are no fancy moves, no superfluous techniques, only pure, ultimate power!

A barbarian soldier roared and swung his sword at Chu Yun, who then flicked his wrist and swung the Overlord Spear horizontally.

"Bang!"

A dull thud exploded as the gun barrel slammed into the barbarian soldier's chest.

The barbarian soldier, sword and all, was sent flying, arcing through the air before crashing heavily to the ground a dozen paces away. His chest was caved in, his bones were broken, and he died instantly.

One shot, instant kill!

The Overlord Spear thrust forward with the momentum, its tip flashing like lightning, precisely piercing the throat of the second barbarian soldier. Blood gushed out, and the body slid directly off the horse's back.

The third barbarian soldier charged from the side, his curved blade aimed straight at Chu Yun's head. Chu Yun dodged to the side, then swung his spear shaft backhand, striking the barbarian soldier squarely in the head.

"Snap!"

The sound of skulls shattering was clearly audible; the barbarian soldier didn't even have time to scream before collapsing from his horse.

One shot, one kill; every move is lethal!

In Chu Yun's hands, the Overlord Spear seemed weightless, sweeping, thrusting, and smashing with incredible speed.

With each strike, a barbarian soldier fell to the ground.

He was like a tiger charging into a flock of sheep, unstoppable.

The barbarian soldiers at the forefront fell one by one to Chu Yun's spear.

Ma Dong led the Imperial Guard cavalry in close pursuit. Watching Chu Yun slaughter everyone, he was once again shocked by Chu Yun's aggression, but his face was filled with excitement and fanaticism as he brandished his scimitar and roared loudly.

"Brothers! Follow me and kill! Slaughter these savage dogs! Avenge the people of Little Stone Village!"

"kill!"

The morale of the Imperial Guard cavalry soared, and each soldier charged forward with great courage, charging into the panicked barbarian army.

The barbarian soldiers on the other side were completely dumbfounded, filled with extreme fear.

"This...this young general of the Great Qian Dynasty is too abnormal!"

"One shot sent a person flying more than ten steps; what kind of monstrous strength is that!"

"He's even fiercer than the number one warrior of our grasslands!"
