The moment the system's voice finished speaking, Qin Ze's eyes narrowed and his breathing became heavier.
The fighting of the past few days had left him utterly exhausted after letting his guard down; he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger. But the system's reward ignited a fire in Qin Ze's heart, and he couldn't help but let out a weary smile.
My points have jumped to ten points per second! What does this mean? It means that from today onwards, I can earn points every day!
This means that he can create more than 3,000 fully armed Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in a single day!
In just over a day, I accumulated more than a million points, enough to unlock the two-star shop and start exchanging for better military equipment!
With improved military equipment, the soldiers' combat effectiveness will be significantly enhanced!
You can also exchange for more generals to help you fight enemies and command troops!
It wouldn't be like now, with only two generals by my side at my disposal.
Of course, Qin Ze knew in his heart that ten points per second was just a starting point. There were still many barbarian soldiers on the Beiku Grassland, eyeing the area with covetous intent, intending to invade Beiliang.
Once I resolve these troublemakers, my points will continue to increase, and not only that, my reputation will reach unprecedented heights!
With the people's support, our army is invincible!
With improved military equipment, sufficient troops, and enough generals, we can then lead our army to attack the capital and make Jin Fengluan pay the price!
Thinking of this, Qin Ze's eyes filled with boundless anticipation, and as his gaze flickered, a long-suppressed emotion erupted from the bottom of his heart.
"Jin Fengluan, you have stripped my Qin family of everything and have repeatedly plotted against me, intending to kill my Qin family in Beiliang."
"Just wait for me. The day I march from Beiliang into the capital, I will make you..."
Qin Ze gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body trembled from the intense emotional turmoil.
He turned his head and looked at the Beiku Grassland under the night sky, his eyes gleaming with a wolf-like gaze.
When we sweep away the barbarian hordes and return to Northern Liang, there will surely be countless troops already there!
——
As night deepened, a troop of Tiger and Leopard riders, carrying Qin Ze's secret orders, galloped across the grassland.
The direction they were heading was Hurong Pass.
After entering the pass, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry dispersed and set off in various places.
Like ripples on the water, tonight's battle is bound to spread throughout the entire Northern Liang!
The towering waves have already risen, and the small boat is gradually being transformed into a warship, sailing towards a wider ocean.
The night wind howled, rustling the wild grass on the grassland, and the entire Beiku Grassland was enveloped in the tranquility before dawn under the cover of night.
——
The next day, in the city of Hurong Pass.
As the weather grew slightly cool, the early risers had already left their homes and begun their hard work.
This was already a barren land, and the harvest was not good. The grain that was harvested with great effort had to be handed over to the army and was also subject to plunder by the nomadic tribes.
In addition, the Hu horses would periodically raid the city to plunder people, with strong men serving as slaves to herd livestock, while women were kept as playthings for their own pleasure.
Over the years, the city's population has dwindled.
But no amount of suffering can completely extinguish their vitality.
Just like the grass rooted in the city wall, they can survive tenaciously as long as a little rain is sprinkled on them.
Similarly, even a glimmer of hope can awaken the vibrant life force within this dead city.
Today, the walls of Hurong Pass stand as they always have, except that there are now a large number of soldiers standing at the foot of the walls.
Unlike the lazy and passive former garrison troops, these new soldiers were all fit and energetic, with resolute faces.
The black armor, the cold halberds, and the orderly ranks gave people a strong sense of security.
Several bags of grain had already been piled up beside the city wall, and a notice was prominently posted on the wall.
Two teenagers, their bodies hunched over, wrapped tightly in their tattered clothes, their eyes filled with curiosity, took small steps toward the city wall.
As she approached, a line of eye-catching words on the notice caught the girl's eye.
"The Prince of Zhenbei has slain 80,000 Hu cavalry soldiers!"
There were many more words written on it, including that each household could come here to receive a load of grain to get through the winter. Some of this grain came from the Northern Hu army camp, which had previously looted the city.
Another portion came from the garrison's residence.
Last night, the first thing the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry did after entering the city was to raid the home of Wu Yi, the local garrison commander. As Qin Ze expected, Wu Yi's granary was indeed filled with a great deal of grain.
At that moment, after the girl saw the contents of the notice, she immediately covered her mouth, her bright eyes became misty and her eyelids gradually turned red.
His frail body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The younger brother, who couldn't read, scratched his head and was about to ask his sister when a soldier carrying a load came over.
"Young man, where do you live? I'll bring you some grain," he said with a smile.
Tears welled up in the girl's eyes, and she choked out, "My lord, the... the general... he drove the barbarian horses away..."
The soldier knelt down, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and whispered:
"Not yet, the general is still on the grassland, but we have already annihilated many Hu horses, so they won't dare to come over for a while."
"The general said that the Hu horses stole your grain and want to return it to you. Now it is late autumn, and without grain, you will not be able to get through the winter."
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's tears slid down her thin cheeks and onto her thin clothes. The morning air was cold, but the tears that slid down her skin were burning hot.
