Chapter 503 The Battle of Xiangyang

The Zhu family was shocked, they never thought that Princess Taiping would be so stylish!

When Zhu Xu was about to speak, Xiao Han had already smiled: "My sister is like this, let her do what she wants to do! Besides, General Zhu has always guarded the town, we must respect General Zhu, and after a while, General Ben will also toast Brother Zhu for a few glasses, haha!" After speaking, he was already proud, as if Princess Taiping was his greatest pride.

"Alas, it's really a tormenting old body! Her Royal Highness the princess's demeanor is really a model for our women, we can't learn it in our lifetime, Xu'er, you have to be loyal to the court, understand?" After a sigh, Zhu's mother was so moved that she almost cried.

Zhu Xu was also excited and smiled: "Mother rest assured, we will definitely guard Xiangyang to repay Princess Qingning and General Xie for their kindness!"

"Haha, General Zhu, everything will be done according to our plan! Old man, you have to believe in General Zhu, you must believe in General Zhu at all times, he is the pillar of our Jin Kingdom, and the pride of our Jin Kingdom!" Princess Taiping deliberately praised him.

The Zhu family was even more emotional, and knelt on the ground: "Slaves and others swear allegiance to the court, to Your Majesty, and to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Princess Taiping and Xiao Han had to help them up, and then, Princess Taiping smiled: "Haha, this child is really good-looking, what's his name?"

"Slave Zhu Zhengyang, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!" the child quickly knelt down again.

Xiao Han took a closer look and was happy: "This kid has a strange skeleton, it's almost the same as ours, haha, okay, this kid can learn swords with me!"

"Ah!" When Zhu Xu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered Zhu Zhengyang to kneel down and apprentice: "Quick, this is our General Xie, the general can accept you as an apprentice, it is your blessing!"

"Apprentice to see Master!" Zhu Zhengyang was even more well-behaved, and immediately kowtowed to the master.

Lin Xuemei had already started to serve the food, and smiled: "Mrs. Zhu, can you help us serve the food? and a few of you little girls, you have to come to help!" After speaking, she took the daughter of the Zhu family to serve the food again.

started the feast, and immediately entered Xiao Han's favorite mode, and smiled: "Come, sister, and my beauties, let's wish Mrs. Zhu good health and a long life! This cup, let's drink it for the old lady!" After speaking, he drank it all.

Then, there was a toast, and Princess Taiping personally poured wine for Zhu's mother, which made her excited again, and the tears finally fell, and Princess Taiping hurriedly wiped her tears for her.

That Mother Zhu was even more moved, choked up and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess, General Xie, and all the ladies, you are too good to us, even if we die, it will be difficult to repay one or two! We are born to be people of the Jin Kingdom, and death is the ghosts of the Jin Kingdom, let's live and die with Xiangyang!"

It turned out that they also knew that war was coming!

"Alas, old man, you are wrong about this! We don't want you to die, as long as you live! Remember, you must believe in Zhu Xu at all times, believe that he is a loyal minister of our Jin Kingdom, this is what we want to say to your old man the most! You all have to give this princess a good life! This is the will of this princess, understand?" Princess Taiping smiled.

"No!" The Zhu family was excited again and hurriedly responded.

Xiao Han smiled: "I like this Zhengyang boy very much, Mei'er, you personally teach him swordsmanship, and that little girl, too! Then, we will take them back to Jingzhou and teach them carefully! So, Aunt Zhu, Mrs. Zhu, you all have to live well, and no one is allowed to have an accident! When we defeat the Former Qin army, Her Royal Highness and I will come to toast you!"

"Yes, thank you, General, we know!" Mrs. Zhu hurriedly said.

Seeing that they were ready to take a pair of children away, her hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and she smiled with relief!

I drank very happily at Zhu's house, and it didn't disperse until Hai Shi!

Back at the residence, Xiao Han was still unsatisfied, and smiled again: "Hehe, I still want to drink, Mei'er, Xue'er, Wan'er, you work hard! Taiping and Xia'er accompany me to the city tower, let's go to see Xiangyang before the war, maybe, tomorrow the former Qin people will arrive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sentry came to report: "General, the soldiers and horses of the former Qin are here, General Zhu seems to be drunk, we don't know what to do!"

"Get ready, archers prepare, General Ben and Her Royal Highness the Princess will command you to fight! Don't disturb General Zhu, let him rest for a long time, in the future, there will be a time for him to fight!" Xiao Han smiled: This Fu Jian is really fast!

Then, he and Princess Taiping went up to the city tower, and when they looked, sure enough, the people of the former Qin were already in the dark, and they couldn't see how many people had come!

Seeing that the lights on the city tower were bright, when Fu Pi saw it, he had to sigh: "Alas, it seems that the Jin people have been prepared! We only have to attack the city tomorrow, and this night siege is not good for us, what does Lord Shi think?"

"Well, His Royal Highness the Prince is right! Whether we set up a ladder or shoot by force, there is no target at night, and the enemy is condescending, so we might as well do it! Okay, we will first surround the north and east sides, and the west is the big river, we will not go up at the moment, forget it, we will surround these two gates first, tomorrow morning, after breakfast, and then let the soldiers storm Xiangyang!" Shi Yue agreed.

Mao Dang objected: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, although the other side is prepared, but let's attack at night, maybe, there will be gains!

Fu Pi thought about it, agreed, and smiled: "Very good, the general is mighty! Then, you try to fight first, don't be rash, if you can't fight, come back, we can't be frustrated under the fortified city!"

How did he know that this Xiangyang was already a monolith, and he couldn't beat it for a year! In the end, it was Zhu Xu who surrendered when he saw that the grain and grass were cut off and for the livelihood of the people! But it had already cost more than 1 million gold in the former Qin!

"No!" When Na Mao heard this, he immediately smiled, walked away triumphantly, and glanced at Shi Yue a few times with contempt!

Shi Yue looked at it and couldn't help but smile: "Child's opinion! Since the other side is prepared, isn't it self-defeating to go here? However, it's better to let him fight, lest we say that we won't give him a chance!"

"Haha, exactly, Lord Shi said in his words! He is the prince's favorite general, he has always been arrogant and domineering, and even we look down on him, so let him taste the power of the Xiangyang people first!" Fu Pi also smiled.

It turned out that Mao Dang was the prince's person, but Shi Yue was a supporter of Fu Pi, so there was a gap between several people! This time, it was rare for Mao Dang to be so competitive, and Mao recommended himself, so they were naturally happy to see him defeated!

Xiao Han and Princess Taiping's banquet had already been put on the table, and they smiled: "Haha, it seems that the former Qin people want to attack the city at night, it's okay, let's give them a dismount first, hehe, refreshing! Mei'er, pour wine! Soldiers, you first prepare arrows, stones, and rolling logs! Let's play with the former Qin people first, and after a while, you will shoot again, how about it?"

"No!" The soldier on duty at night suddenly became energetic: This Metropolitan Governor and Her Royal Highness the Princess took the lead in the battle, how could they retreat?

Xiao Han had already kissed Princess Taiping in his arms, and ordered Pei Yingxue, Wang Wan, and Murong Xia to accompany him!

That Murong Xia was naturally nervous when she fought for the first time, and when she wanted to speak, Lin Xuemei smiled: "Don't talk, girl, our general doesn't know how many times this kind of thing has happened, just look at it, ready to wait for us at any time!"

At this time, Mao Dang had already built a simple earthen platform, and thousands of archers were ready, and he laughed: "The people on the city tower have listened, our 200,000 soldiers and horses of Daqin have arrived, you surrender quickly, otherwise, the day our city is broken is the day of your soul, haha!"

When the soldiers on the city tower heard this, they were stunned: "Ah, 200,000 people, general, how can this battle be fought, we only have more than 300 soldiers on night duty!"

"Haha, what, you are frightened by the enemy? Joke, the other party is only 50,000 people at most! Okay, you watch first, let's play first, you go to the stairs and cat, it's safe there, hehe!" Princess Taiping sneered.

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers defending the city suddenly felt that their faces were dull, and they hurriedly raised their breath and said: "No, Your Royal Highness the Princess, we are willing to live and die with Xiangyang and swear to protect the princess!" After speaking, they all began to draw their bows and arrows.

"Very good, not good, you stand down first, let's fight for a while, you will go up! Hehe, my brother's hands are itchy, and if he doesn't destroy these thousands of archers today, he is not happy, haha!" Princess Taiping smiled.

"Ah!" When the soldiers heard this, they all felt incredible: how could the general and the princess take the lead in the battle?

When he saw that someone wanted to speak, Xiao Han already smiled: "Okay, the governor of Pontus knows your good intentions, you should rest for a while, hit a place where you can hide, and don't let the enemy shoot!

"No!" the soldiers hurriedly looked for a place to hide.

As soon as the words fell, thousands of arrows had flown over, Xiao Han and Lin Xuemei looked at each other and smiled, happy: "Sister, drink first, I'll play with Mei'er for a while!"

"Why not! Princess Ben is just looking at her brother's ability, haha!" Princess Taiping smiled.

Lin Xuemei and Xiao Han joined forces, and the sword was not drawn, and with a wave of their hand, they rolled up those arrows and returned them the way they came!

Then, there was a scream from the opposing camp! It seems that those thousands of archers have been basically wiped out!

Na Mao Dang naturally didn't know what was going on, he was even more angry, his eyes were on fire, and he immediately ordered: "Soldiers, follow me, capture Xiangyang City, men are our slaves, women, you can enjoy as you like!"

When the soldiers heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and they all rushed up one by one, and began to build ladders, ready to attack the city!

Xiao Han smiled at this time: "You can go up, in addition, go and transfer three hundred archers, let's wait for them with arrows!"

"No!" the herald was already overjoyed, and he excitedly gave the order.

Subsequently, the five hundred archers had already drawn their bows and arrows, ready to shoot the siege soldiers of the former Qin at any time!

Na Mao Dang personally beat the drum: "Soldiers, rush me!"

Those former Qin soldiers who were not afraid of death were excited, and immediately began to climb the cloud ladder!

Xiao Han smiled: "Shoot, see the arrow again, strive to shoot one arrow at a time!

Then, a rain of arrows and rolling stones fell, and hundreds of former Qin soldiers fell again!

That Mao Wei was naturally even more angry, and immediately hit the horse, and then, the Qin army three thousand years ago came up again!

Xiao Han still ordered the soldiers to shoot the former Qin soldiers, or roll stones and beat wood to greet them, and after a few rounds, the three thousand soldiers were either dead or wounded.

Fu Pi looked in the dark for a while, and knew that this Mao should not be able to fall, and saw that the former Qin soldiers were killed and wounded at least more than 6,000 people, so he couldn't bear it, and quickly jumped out and smiled: "General Mao, don't fight anymore, the other party is condescending, and the lights are bright, we can't bargain!"

Mao Dang looked helpless, sighed, and then sighed bitterly: "Alas, I didn't expect Xiangyang to be so difficult to pull out! This night, at least 6,000 of my soldiers were broken, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity!"
