Our family has been rebelling for generations, and you've become the top scholar in the imperia

"Don't kill us!"

"Spare us! We are citizens of the Great Zhou! Open the city gates!"

"Let us enter the city and open the city gates."

The bugle sounded.

The siege of the wild boars retreated like a tide, leaving hundreds of corpses piled up at the foot of the city walls.

The grassland procession in the distance split up, and thousands of raggedly dressed people from the Great Zhou were driven out. There were old people and women, all looking miserable, and they were being herded by a group of wild boars to the city wall.

Seeing this scene.

Qin Feng's expression changed drastically. Without thinking twice, he hurriedly ran to the top of the city wall.

"Old General!"

With so many people from the Great Zhou appearing below, by the time Qin Feng arrived, General Gou was leaning against the wall, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

"Get up the city wall! Hurry, do you want to die? Climb up! Aren't those people from your Great Zhou up there? They can't kill you, climb up!"

A group of wild boars, carrying wooden shields, kept whipping the people.

"I...I'll go!"

The very front position.

A middle-aged man gritted his teeth and began to climb the wooden ladder, gripping it with both hands.

At the same time, he kept shouting upwards:

"Don't kill me, let me up, I'm a citizen of the Great Zhou."

They saw someone take the lead and start climbing the wooden ladder.

The people behind them swarmed forward, jostling for the wooden ladder.

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

"Damn it, what are you robbing? If you hadn't said surrendering to the grasslands would be fine, would our family have been harmed like this?"

"Sir, don't let their family go up. They killed the surrendered grassland soldiers who were defending the city."

"Nonsense, it was clearly your man who secretly led the way, allowing these people from the grasslands to enter the village."

"..."

Everyone on the city wall fell silent.

"Pfft!"

Just then.

Qin Feng suddenly snatched a knife from a soldier on the side and quickly moved to the position of the first middle-aged man who had climbed up.

Knife up and down.

He slashed the man down with a single blow.

"Why are you killing people? We are people of the Great Zhou! Let us up!"

"Are you trying to kill us? So many people are here; are you even officials?"

"Open the city gates and let us in, damn it, you opened the city gates."

The people below are climbing the wooden ladders.

The general guarding the city had killed someone.

Their faces turned ashen, and they hurriedly climbed back down.

He started yelling and cursing.

"Help General Gou to the back. I am Qin Feng, the military supervisor of Pingsha Pass. Everyone, take up your weapons. Archers, prepare yourselves. Those below are not citizens of the Great Zhou. Take a good look. They are all traitors who surrendered to the grasslands. Leave no one alive, kill them all!"

These words were spoken.

General Gou immediately broke free from the people beside him and took a few steps to Qin Feng's side.

Take a deep breath.

He roared in a deep voice:

"There are no citizens of the Great Zhou outside Pingsha Pass; they are all rebellious steppe traitors! Kill them!"

These people are absolutely not allowed to go up the city wall.

In the distance, squads of wild boar hides were watching intently, ready to launch the next attack the moment anyone came up.

By that time.

With so many ordinary people crowding the city walls, how are they supposed to defend it?

Moreover, many of these people voluntarily sought refuge with the grasslands.

"General Fu Gou, please rest for a while. General, I'll keep an eye on things here, nothing will happen. These wild boar hides will probably have to go to the direct line tribe."

Speaking of it.

Qin Feng's gaze fell on the grassland team opposite him.

A line of over a thousand people had already begun to move slowly and appeared at the front.

Moreover, it was obvious that this army of over a thousand men was much more robust than the wild boar skin that had attacked the city earlier, and each of them was wearing armor.

Without a doubt, they must be a direct descendant of a tribe from the grasslands.

"No need. They are the direct descendants of the grasslands. I've seen this banner before. The next wave of attacks will definitely be from these people. Pass down the order: stay alert and hold them off. Wild Boar Hide will definitely not be able to continue the siege today!"

General Gou gripped the knife in his hand and explained softly.

Grassland tribes also have different levels of closeness.

The most powerful forces were the direct descendants of the tribes, and most of the annual rewards were actually distributed among these tribes.

"Once the civilians below are all dead, they'll probably move in!"

Qin Feng nodded.

He tossed the knife in his hand to the soldier from before.

He immediately said:

"General, this wave is likely to be extremely dangerous. Notify the people in the rear to be ready to take over at any time. I will lead five hundred men as an emergency response team. Wherever the enemy breaks through, I will lead them to take over."

Compared to these ordinary soldiers.

The guards under Qin Feng's command are far superior in both skill and courage.

It is most suitable for use by emergency response teams.

However, Qin Feng didn't have time to explain that much to the other party right now.

Some areas were almost lost just now; even ordinary wild boar hides had a chance to rush up. These armored elite troops will be even more troublesome.

If a wild boar rushes up from somewhere, it must be killed immediately.

We must absolutely not allow the gap to widen.

General Gou never expected that Qin Feng, a civil official, would have such courage at this critical moment.

They dared to lead a team to fill the gap.

This is the most dangerous place.

"good!"

Facing Qin Feng's resolute gaze, General Gou took a deep breath and responded in a deep voice.

"Men of the Thousand Households, follow me! Everyone, move quickly! Soldiers from behind, bring up the ranks, strictly adhering to the five-man squad. Don't panic! If Wild Boar Skin comes up, don't panic. I will arrive with men immediately. Under no circumstances should you retreat!"

soon.

Everyone noticed that behind them, Lord Qin was leading his men, constantly checking the casualties and arranging for replacements.

"We held the line today. There are still several hundred pigs in the city; we'll slaughter them all tonight. Anyone injured, inform your squad leader, and someone will take you down immediately. Wild boar hide is still human; a knife cut into you will hurt too. Remember, keep an eye on the people around you. If anyone is struggling, go help them immediately!"

"I will personally distribute the silver for each person killed tonight!"

"You can receive it on the spot."

Qin Feng and his men kept shouting at the top of their lungs on the city wall.

soon.

The soldiers, who had been in a panic, gradually calmed down.

"Er Mao, Er Mao, aren't you going downstairs?"

Corner location.

The others, looking at the injury on Er Mao's arm, couldn't help but say:

"Didn't Lord Qin say that if you're injured, you can go down immediately, and someone will come to your rescue right away?"

"fart!"

Er Mao grimaced and cursed.

Tighten the cloth strip tightly around the wound.

"I'm the squad leader. If I go down, do you think some stranger can take care of you? These minor injuries are nothing. Hurry up and pile the heads over there. Three heads are worth fifteen taels of silver!"

"We panicked a bit just now, but we can't panic. Lord Qin is right, even wild boar hide is a person, what's there to panic about!"

"I've been thinking about it, let's do it this way and try to kill as many as possible!"

The group huddled together, discussing something in hushed tones.

Just then.

Waaaaah—

Outside Pingsha Pass.

The deep sound of the horn rang out again.

"Warriors of the Tuva tribe, kill them!!!"

The leader, a boar-skinned general from the grasslands, suddenly swung his long sword.

They were the first to rush towards the city wall of Pingsha Pass.

Behind them, the boar-skinned elites, clad in armor, charged forward, howling as they came.

This group didn't even bring wooden shields.

Braving the arrows, they arrived at the city wall in the blink of an eye.

"I've made money by killing wild boars!"

Someone shouted out.

In an instant.

The entire city wall resounded with shouts of battle.
