They stared blankly at the tightly shut city gates, their hearts filled with despair and helplessness. Despite the biting cold wind, these poor souls had nowhere to go and could only wait here in agony for a glimmer of hope.
At that moment, Lin Feng led a magnificent cavalry troop slowly approaching. When he reached the foot of the city, he immediately spotted the hundreds of emaciated commoners. They were either sitting or lying on the cold ground, dressed in tattered clothes, as if they could be blown away by the chilling wind at any moment.
The commoners, who had been listlessly sitting, suddenly heard the sound of galloping hooves drawing near and looked up in fear. When they saw the imposing cavalry, they all stood up in a panic, ready to scatter and flee.
Clearly, they mistook these soldiers for the villains come to hunt them down. Seeing this situation, Lin Feng quickly dismounted and hurriedly walked to the front of the crowd, shouting loudly, "Dear villagers, do not be afraid! We are here to rescue you!"
However, having endured too much suffering and deception, the commoners remained wary of Lin Feng's words and hesitated to lower their guard. Understanding their fear and anxiety, Lin Feng decisively gestured for his soldiers to bring out the food they carried.
As bags of heavy grain appeared before them, a strange light flickered in the eyes of the commoners. It was a longing for survival and a hope for sustenance. Seizing the moment, Lin Feng raised his voice again, "Rest assured, everyone! This food is specially brought for you; please do not panic!"
With that, he ordered his men to distribute the food to each commoner. At this moment, the soldiers stationed on the city walls also noticed this sudden cavalry troop. They were thrown into disarray, wondering where this cavalry had come from and why there had been no prior warning.
In their confusion, one soldier hurriedly turned and raced toward the county office to report this astonishing news to the County Magistrate of Shangfeng. "County Magistrate! Something terrible has happened! A formidable cavalry has arrived outside the city!"
He described them as clad in armor, wielding sharp weapons, with well-fed and imposing warhorses beneath them. A rough estimate suggested there were thousands of them!
The County Magistrate had been seated comfortably sipping tea when he heard this news; his hand trembled and knocked over his teacup with a crash. Tea splashed onto his robe as his face turned pale as paper. His legs weakened, nearly causing him to collapse.
"What is going on? Where did such an elite force come from?" The county magistrate asked, his voice trembling.
The messenger who had come to report was equally bewildered and shook his head in response, "I don't know. These Cavalry just appeared out of nowhere."
"Quickly, follow me to take a look!" The county magistrate forced himself to calm down, standing up and unsteadily making his way toward the city gate.
Before long, a man climbed up to the city wall. The county magistrate leaned against the battlements, peering down with trepidation.
Below, the Cavalry were lined up in an orderly fashion, with one person at the forefront directing his soldiers as they distributed food to the surrounding civilians.
At that moment, Lin Feng had been busy for a while when he inadvertently looked up and spotted a man in official robes peering down from the city wall.
Lin Feng furrowed his brow and shouted with all his might, "Zhengbei General, Fourth Prince Lin Feng is here! Who is that person on the wall? Why don’t you come down and meet me?"
His shout echoed like thunder in the air, causing everyone present to feel their ears ringing.
