Just as they were calling out to persuade these few Northern Barbarian soldiers to surrender, more and more Great Zhou soldiers rushed toward them.

Even Qin Feng, who was far away at the rear supply camp, rushed over upon hearing the news.

Seeing the horrific scene on the hillside, Qin Feng was speechless.

The Northern Barbarian soldiers are incredibly fierce.

Fortunately, they did not enter Qingling Pass and engage in a decisive battle with the Northern Barbarians on the plains.

Otherwise, there is absolutely no chance of winning!

"They're here."

As soon as Qin Feng arrived, he saw Qin Li greeting him.

Qin Feng nodded and clasped his hands in greeting to Qin Li.

To be honest, Qin Li has been really good to him since the expedition began.

Not only were important responsibilities entrusted to him, but he also frequently showed concern and care for him.

Everyone around him was envious; they all envied him for having such an older brother!

Qin Feng even began to wonder if he was overthinking things.

Qin Li genuinely wanted to be good brothers with him; he had no other motives!

"Big brother, what happened?"

Qin Feng looked at the situation and asked.

Qin Li gave a brief explanation, and after listening, Qin Feng nodded and said, "Then we should indeed try to persuade them to surrender."

"If we capture the prince of Northern Mang alive, we will have leverage to negotiate with Northern Mang."

"This battle will be much easier!"

While the two were talking, the generals of the Great Zhou took turns stepping forward to persuade them to surrender.

But the few Northern Barbarian soldiers who were surrounded not only refused to surrender, but also arrogantly shouted:

"You want us to surrender? Dream on!"

"You pigs of the Great Zhou, we are the bravest warriors of the grasslands! We will never surrender, we will only die in battle!"

"If you've got the guts, come forward! We'll twist your heads off and use them as chamber pots!"

Seeing that the Zhou generals' attempts to persuade him to surrender were futile, Qin Li raised his hand to stop them and stepped forward to mock them:

"These are some grassland warriors, or rather, they claim to be the bravest warriors on the grassland."

"Since you are the bravest warriors on the grasslands, how come you've been surrounded by a bunch of pigs like us?"

"Are you perhaps even worse than us pigs?"

Upon hearing this, the people of Great Zhou looked at each other and laughed incessantly, their eyes filled with contempt for the few Northern Mang soldiers.

That's right. If they were the bravest warriors on the grasslands, why were they surrounded and immediately taken prisoner?

So it seems they're not all that great.

What kind of bravest warrior is he? He's nothing but a figurehead.

"How dare you!"

The leading Northern Mang general glared, his eyes wide with rage, and roared, "How dare you humiliate us like this?"

"Who are you? State your name now! This general's scimitar does not slay nameless nobodies!"

"Ahem!"

Qin Li cleared his throat, raised his head and puffed out his chest, "Listen up, all of you! I am Qin Feng, the seventh prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty was taken aback.

They all turned their heads in unison, looking at Qin Li with puzzlement.

Qin Feng himself, in particular, had his brows furrowed into an inverted "V" shape!

If you are the Seventh Prince Qin Feng, then who am I?

Don't you have your own name? Why are you using mine?

Only Wei Hongying reacted first, and couldn't help but cover her mouth to suppress her laughter.

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Qin Li was slightly taken aback... Uh, he was used to calling Qin Feng by his name and couldn't change it for a while.

"So it's the seventh prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty! I had no idea it was someone else!"

The Northern Barbarian general slung his blunted scimitar over his shoulder, pointed at Qin Li, and shouted:

"Do you dare come out and fight me? If you win, we'll surrender and you can do whatever you want with us. But if you lose, you'll have to let us leave!"

It wasn't over yet. The Northern Mang general suddenly pointed at Wei Hongying, who was dressed in military uniform, his eyes greedy, and he grinned:

"And this little girl, we must take her with us to be my bed warmer!"

"Yes, yes, to be our general's bed warmer."

The other Northern Mang soldiers shouted and yelled, seemingly unaware that they were surrounded, completely disregarding the people of Great Zhou.

Upon hearing this, Qin Li thought that given Wei Hongying's temper, she would explode and no one could stop her.

To everyone's surprise, she simply stood there, clutching her silver spear and sneering.

They acted as if they hadn't heard what he said and weren't fooled at all!

Yo?

It seems he misjudged Wei Hongying before and didn't fully understand her.

When it comes to important matters, Wei Hongying is frighteningly calm.

I've struck gold!

Qin Li thought to himself.

Wei Hongying could hold back, but Su Chen couldn't.

The black halberd in his hand crackled with purple lightning, and it was about to reach its limit.

He stepped forward and shouted angrily:

"Shut your stinking mouth!"

"How dare you humiliate Sister Hongying like this?"

"I, the young master, will chop you to pieces!"

"Hahaha……"

Upon hearing this, the Northern Barbarian generals and their men all put their hands on their hips and burst into laughter, as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"You little brat, you're barely out of your teens, and you're already trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?"

"If you have the guts, come forward and fight this general one-on-one!"

"We won, so say what you want!"

"If you lose, don't blame me for taking your sister back to you right in front of you, and having her give you ten or eight little nephews, hahaha..."

These words further provoked Su Chen. His knuckles turned white from gripping the halberd so tightly that he was clearly furious.

Seeing Su Chen like this, Qin Li and Qin Feng both shook their heads slightly.

He's still young at heart; he got so easily provoked by just a few words.

Little did they know, they had fallen into a trap set by the Northern Barbarian generals!

The Northern Barbarians were already sitting ducks.

Even if a few people had three heads and six arms, they couldn't escape the encirclement of so many people from the Great Zhou Dynasty; they would surely die!

The Northern Barbarian general deliberately proposed a one-on-one battle, hoping to find a way out of a seemingly inescapable situation.

They lost, but were still captured, so there wasn't much loss.

If we win, not only can we leave, but we can also take Wei Hongying with us. We'll probably be laughing in our sleep from now on.

Unfortunately, Su Chen couldn't understand this principle.

"Boy, have you thought it through? Do you want to fight this general?"

The Northern Barbarian general stepped forward, carrying his chipped sword, and deliberately provoked, "If you don't dare, then get out of the way and let your damned Seventh Prince fight me!"

At this moment, the generals of the Great Zhou surrounded Qin Li, clasped their hands in greeting, and said, "Your Highness, give the order."

"What orders are you giving?"

Qin Li raised his eyes, pretending to be confused even though he knew the truth.

One of the generals couldn't help but get anxious, "Of course, the order is for everyone to go together. There are only a handful of them, you can count them on one hand."

"Let's attack together! Even if it's just a spit from each of us, we can drown these sons of bitches!"

"Those sons of bitches killed so many of our brothers last night! We must avenge them!"

"Yes, revenge! Let's all attack together!"

Other generals echoed his sentiments.

They were all itching for a fight, their hatred reaching its peak.

Upon hearing this, the Northern Barbarian general couldn't help but take a half step back, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed.

He intended to provoke the other party into coming out and fighting him one-on-one, hoping to find a way out of this dead end.

To everyone's surprise, the other party didn't fall for it at all!

These pigs of the Great Zhou have no skills whatsoever, but they are very clever, just like their strategist Zhuge Yu.

After thinking for a moment, the Northern Mang general quickly turned around and gave his final instructions to his thousands of troops:

"Your Highnesses, I have failed you both, and even more so His Majesty, in failing to complete the mission entrusted to me by His Majesty! My death is no loss!"

"But the two princes cannot die. In a moment, I will lead the men to fight them. The two princes must stand still and not move. Just drop your weapons and raise your hands."

"As long as the two princes remain still, these boars from Great Zhou will not cause you any trouble. In addition, given the princes' status, the two princes will be able to save their lives..."

Upon hearing this, the thousands of soldiers and horses were immediately displeased. Although they had been given drugs when they were young and their brains were damaged, it did not mean that they did not understand anything.

"If we're going to die, we'll all die together!"

"What does it mean if you die while we brothers live alone?"

"If word gets out, people will laugh at us!"

"That's right, that's right..."

Upon hearing this, the Northern Mang general was not pleased; instead, his lips twitched violently.

What's the point of reaching a consensus now? What's the point?!

If I had known this would happen, why didn't I retreat last night when I ordered a withdrawal? Instead, one side attacked to the east and the other to the west.

If we had listened to him earlier, we could have definitely managed to tear a hole and escape.

He thought this to himself, but it was too late to say anything now. The Northern Barbarian general composed himself with mixed feelings, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the thousands of troops, and bid them a final farewell.

Other ordinary Northern Barbarian soldiers also clasped their fists in greeting to the two men.

Just as they were saying goodbye, all the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty unanimously thought that Qin Li had lost his mind.

Qin Li told them, "I cannot issue this order. If word gets out that we are outnumbered, people will laugh at us."

"Which of you goes out and fight him? If you win, this prince will reward you handsomely!"
