Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 549: Chapter 229: Zhao Feng: Exterminate the Foreign Tribes! Leave None Alive!

The black cavalry swept through the entire city.

The thousands of foreigners in the city did not persist long before turning into cold corpses.

“Reporting to the Senior General.”

“The foreigners in the city have been dealt with.”

“In this battle, nearly five thousand foreigners were slain.” Zhang Han reported from horseback.

“Okay.”

Zhao Feng nodded.

His gaze turned to the city’s citizens.

Innocent maidens violated.

Parents murdered.

Young children killed.

Husbands and wives slain.

Because of the invasion by these foreign scum, even the surviving citizens of the city were subjected to humiliation, losing loved ones.

Looking at the gathered citizens around him, they gazed at him and the Qin Cavalry with a look of longing and unease.

It seemed.

They were still afraid, afraid that the Qin Cavalry would treat them as cruelly as those foreigners.

Feeling their gaze, Zhao Feng sighed internally.

He slowly dismounted from his battle horse.

“I’m sorry.”

“We arrived late.”

Zhao Feng, with a hint of helplessness and shame, bowed deeply to all the living citizens.

This scene.

Surprised the citizens in front, even the Yan State Border Army, and Gongsun Guang.

“Such a noble Senior General apologizing to the commoners.”

“How is this possible?”

Everyone watched, astonished.

Not only the soldiers but also the citizens reacted similarly.

However.

Even though the citizens were shocked, after experiencing the massacre by foreigners and the loss of their loved ones, they were also very uneasy and dared not speak.

“Yan has fallen.”

“From now on, the people of Yan are all citizens of Qin, and every citizen of Qin will be protected by the Sharp Warriors of Qin.”

“These foreign scum, I, Zhao Feng, swear to repay them with blood.”

Zhao Feng spoke, retracting his gaze from the citizens.

“Zhang Han.”

Zhao Feng said authoritatively.

“I am here.” Zhang Han replied loudly.

“Our cavalry conquering city by city is too slow, by the time the foreigners are driven out, countless innocent citizens will have died.”

“Pass my command.”

“Our cavalry camp with its hundred thousand warriors will divide into ten routes, each with a thousand troops led by a major general to drive the foreigners out.”

“Combine forces in Xiangping City.”

“I don’t care about the process.”

“But the result must be the complete extermination of all foreigners.”

“Regardless of the methods you use, as long as you can kill foreigners, it is allowed.” Zhao Feng said sternly.

“I accept the order.”

The generals responded in unison.

“Senior General.”

“Do I have any tasks?” Gongsun Guang asked loudly.

“Your task is to pacify the citizens.”

“I will issue orders to you, instructing the army to allocate grain and grass to relieve the citizens.”

“Also.”

“Foreigners have entered the city, there must be traitors among us.”

“Capture all those who colluded with the foreigners.”

“Once I’ve defeated the foreigners, they will all be dealt with collectively.” Zhao Feng said sternly.

“I take the order.” Gongsun Guang responded immediately.

—————–

Xiangping City!

If those small towns are an inferno on earth, then Xiangping, the first to be breached by foreigners, is a purgatory within the inferno.

Corpses piled up in the city.

The stench of blood assailed the nostrils.

The whole city presented a sense of silence.

Aside from a few foreign soldiers patrolling back and forth, there were no survivors within the city.

Though the evil spirits devour souls, these foreigners are more vicious than evil spirits.

Inside the original Prefect’s Mansion hall.

Several women were dancing in the hall as the sound of drums and music played.

Some foreign commanders watched with interest, enjoying it.

“Hahaha.”

“These people of Yan truly know how to enjoy themselves, these Yan women are so alluring when they dance.”

“Indeed.”

“These Yan women are much more charming than the women in our tribe, so graceful…”

Foreign commanders laughed as they drank, joyfully watching the dance.

In the hall, although the dancers danced, they were naturally terrified, afraid of making a mistake.

The entire Xiangping City, with a population of over ten thousand, had been brutally massacred by the foreigners.

Only a few thousand managed to escape.

Almost all the males and young sons were exterminated by the foreigners.

As for the women, many survived, though many were violated to death.

“Choose a few beautiful ones to present to the Great King upon returning to the tribe.”

“If we can capture the princess of Yan, that would be extraordinary.” A commander laughed.

Just then.

“Report to General Wu Wu.”

“We have just received an urgent report.”

“The Qin Army has moved against our forces.”

“Our soldiers have suffered heavy losses.”

A soldier from the foreign tribes hurried over, reporting in panic.

“What?”

“The Qin Army?”

Wu Wu, enjoying his drink at the head seat, turned pale.

“Yes, General.”

“It is indeed the Qin Army.”

“We have lost nearly fifty thousand soldiers to the Qin Army.”

“Moreover, the dozen or so cities of the Yan state that we seized have been taken by the Qin Army, leaving only Xiangping and a neighboring city.”

“The Qin Army divided their forces along many routes to seize the Yan state’s cities we occupied, and our soldiers couldn’t resist, retreating in droves.” The soldier replied respectfully.

“Where is Ta Xiong?”

Wu Wu’s expression changed, quickly asking.

“General Ta Xiong is currently leading a retreat.” The soldier immediately replied.

“How dare the Qin people take action against our tribe?”

“We have not been their enemy, and they are supposed to be attacking Yan. What concern are the cities of the Yan state and its people to them?”

“In the end.”

“It is also our tribe who helped them.” Wu Wu said with a face full of bewilderment.

The other generals in the hall also wore expressions of confusion.

Perhaps.

This is what the foreign tribes fail to understand.

Though the Huaxia ethnic group is divided into various countries in this era, they do not comprehend the spirit of the ethnic group, nor the unyielding pride of the Huaxia people.

“Report.”

“General Wu Wu.”

“Ta Xiong asks for support.”

“General Ta Xiong is about to be overtaken by the Qin Army.”

“He is probably already stuck in a bitter battle.”

“Please, General, quickly lead reinforcements.”

A messenger rushed into the hall to report.

“What?”

“Ta Xiong has been caught by the Qin Army as well?”

“How many Qin troops?”

“Even with significant losses, Ta Xiong should still have fifty to sixty thousand troops, right?”

“Can the Qin cavalry really match my Eastern Hu warriors?” Wu Wu was still somewhat unable to understand.

“General.”

“The Qin Army’s combat strength is formidable, our soldiers are no match at all.” The messenger trembled as he spoke.

“General Wu Wu.”

“There’s no time to think now, we should lead the army to aid them first.”

“Since the Qin state dares to be so reckless and hostile to our tribe.”

“Then let’s teach them a lesson by annihilating this Qin Army.”

“Let these Qin Army know the might of our tribe.” A general of the Eastern Hu spoke arrogantly.

“Indeed.”

“Mere Qin state, what do we Eastern Hu fear?”

“Since they want to be our enemy, let’s give them something formidable.”

“These mere dozen Yan state cities could have been taken, now let’s continue south to seize territory from the Qin state, and our national power will skyrocket.”

“Destroy the Qin Army.”

“Yes, General.”

“Annihilate these damn Qin Army…”

The Eastern Hu generals shouted, all appearing extremely arrogant.

“Mobilize the troops, immediately support General Ta Xiong.”

“Also, continue south to seize more cities.” Wu Wu pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered.

On the other side.

On a vast plain.

Tens of thousands of Eastern Hu cavalry were fleeing desperately toward Xiangping City, clearly terrified.

And as they fled.

A force of twenty to thirty thousand Qin troops was in hot pursuit.

Arrows rained down from the void above, fired wildly.

From time to time, foreign tribesmen fell from their horses, shot through by arrows.

“General.”

“The Qin Army is relentlessly pursuing.”

“What should we do?”

A general looked at Ta Xiong and asked.

“Insolent.”

“I, a brave warrior of the Eastern Hu, how can I be so disgraceful?”

“We are not far from Xiangping, I reckon General Wu Wu will soon lead reinforcements.”

“Transmit my order, prepare to fight.”

“Slay all these Qin bastards.”

Ta Xiong immediately shouted, turning his horse around.

“Yes.”

“Slay all these Qin bastards.”

“Kill.”

“Kill them all…”

Many Eastern Hu generals cried out, ceasing their flight.

A stance preparing for a decisive battle with the Qin Army.
