They're Going to Ram the City Gates!
The generals at Yanmen Pass looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Who do you think you are? A child dares to point fingers here? Get out of here!"
Qin Shan drew his sword, and the man's head fell to the ground.
The remaining generals all knelt on the ground.
Zhou Wanwan looked at the trees and said, "Friends, I need to trouble you with something. Could you help me see if there are any good generals among these?"
Zhou Wanwan never judged good or bad based on those people; these trees were the real experts.
Don't underestimate them. Sure enough, one of the pine trees said, "The man with the thick beard in front of you is wicked. He has killed many people and forcibly taken women."
Zhou Wanwan pointed at the man and said, "Kill him."
The words had barely left his mouth when Qin Shan's sword was already at the edge.
Another jujube tree said:
"This pale-faced scholar is a hypocrite."
He used his identity as a merchant as a cover to secretly meet with generals of the Great Qi.
Zhou Wanwan pointed at the pale-faced scholar and said, "Kill him."
The pale-faced scholar shouted, "What kind of logic is this? To kill me so easily? I, Xiao, am innocent!"
Qin Shan looked at Zhou Wanwan, Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Xiao Yu, stop pretending. Someone, bring the boxes from his room up."
Soon someone brought up Xiao Yu's box, and when they opened it, it was full of letters exchanged with enemy countries.
Looking at the books, Qin Shan said, "Good heavens, they've colluded with the enemy and betrayed their country; they deserve to die."
Qin Shan killed him directly, and Zhou Wanwan looked at the remaining generals.
Many generals were so frightened that they trembled and fell to their knees.
Some generals shouted:
"Spare us! General Qin, please spare us!"
We were forced by circumstances. I... I don't want to die. We are willing to surrender.
Zhou Wanwan looked at the remaining dozen or so generals, pointed to five of them and said, "Lock those five in the dungeon and await their fate."
As for the remaining six, they're not bad. Would you like to come with us?
The six generals wiped the sweat from their brows and nodded hurriedly, saying, "Yes, yes! From now on, you are our master. If you tell us to go east, we will never go west."
They were terrified!
No one knows who this little girl is, but they're killing her without hesitation.
This entire Yanmen Pass is her territory, what can they say?
A soldier came in to report, "The Great Qi people have already broken in. What should we do now?"
Qin Shan shouted, "Everyone, follow me to the city wall to meet the enemy! We swear to defend Yanmen Pass to the death!"
One of the generals said:
"General Qin, it's not that we're unwilling to protect Yanmen Pass, but we're simply outnumbered."
Moreover, the people and soldiers in the city haven't eaten for a long time and simply don't have the strength to fight."
Zhou Wanwan said, "Tell these people that as long as we win this battle, they can drink as much porridge as they want and eat as much rice as they want, it'll be plenty."
All the generals looked at Zhou Wanwan, and Qin Shan looked at them and said:
"What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear what your master said?"
This will be our master from now on. Keep your eyes open and don't follow the wrong person.
Everyone was stunned. Qin Shan actually called a child "master".
Who exactly is this child?
But no one dared to ask.
A group of people climbed the city wall, and many soldiers came down below. The soldiers of Great Qi took out ladders and began to climb up.
Qin Shan said coldly, "Release the arrows."
All that could be seen was a rain of arrows shooting towards the siege ladder, from which screams of agony echoed.
The soldiers of Great Qi were very fast. Just as they were about to climb the city wall, they suddenly felt their feet slip and were entangled by something.
Before they could react, countless soldiers were dragged away.
The city wall was soon completely empty.
The soldiers on the Great Qi side were completely dumbfounded. "What happened? They were all there just now, how did they suddenly disappear?"
"Those guys next to me were just talking to me a moment ago, and then they disappeared."
"It's haunted! What on earth is going on?"
The general of Great Qi said:
"Don't panic, everyone! This is all a trick by those people. They're trying to scare us. Get them!"
Those weaklings from Great Xia are utterly helpless! Charge! Charge! Charge!
The soldiers of Great Qi climbed desperately, but the more they climbed, the more disappeared.
Several thousand people simply vanished without a trace.
Not only was the Great Qi in a panic, but the Great Xia was also in a great panic.
The soldiers of Great Xia asked, "Did you see what dragged them away? Was it a monster?"
"Could it be a ghost? Or perhaps a vengeful spirit from our Great Xia Kingdom?"
Qin Shan looked at them and said, "Stop talking nonsense and guard the city walls."
Actually, they don't need to guard them; it's just that those trees are moving too fast, like eating dumplings.
The Old Scholar Tree said, "Ah! It's been so long since I've felt this good. These people are incredibly crisp and crunchy, and the key is that they contain a lot of energy."
The Old Ancestor looked at the saplings and said, "Some of these saplings have grown several meters tall! They're invaluable tonics!"
Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Then we have a lot of trees to upgrade tonight, right?"
Now, the Old Scholar Tree and our Old Ancestor only need to be charged once every few months.
Zhou Wanwan only needs to replenish their spiritual energy once every few months.
The other trees varied in length.
Some need to replenish their spiritual power every day, while others only need to replenish it once every 10 days to half a month.
However, trees like the Old Scholar Tree are extremely rare.
Only a dozen or so trees can reach the level of replenishing their spiritual energy every few months; these trees are also the busiest and fastest.
After eating several thousand people, the Old Scholar Tree said:
"This batch should have at least several hundred trees that can be upgraded."
At that time, Wanwan will only need to replenish their spiritual energy once a month.
The generals of Great Qi said, "What on earth is going on? Why do people disappear as soon as they climb the city wall? It's like seeing a ghost!"
"What do we do now?"
A general from the Great Qi scoffed, "It's just a charade. We'll attack the city gate directly. It's dilapidated; we'll just use magic to smash it open."
The crowd nodded, and tens of thousands of people rushed toward the inner city gate.
The soldiers of the Great Xia shouted, "Oh no! We're doomed! They're going to ram the city gates! And not just one, but all four gates at once!"
Shen Xiao's expression changed. "What are we going to do? With just these few people, we simply can't stop the army outside."
The Old Scholar Tree beside her looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, it's dinner time. Are you hungry?"
Zhou Wanwan rubbed her stomach and said, "I'm really hungry. Bring me the food! What are we having for dinner tonight?"
The Old Scholar Tree chuckled and said, "I just came back from the Imperial Kitchen of the Great Qi. I didn't bring much with me, so please make do with this!"
