She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 84 Weapons
Captain Meng glanced at Xu Shu, and did not continue to follow her words, but turned slightly sideways, turned his head and looked back:
"Your Highness, please go down first, we are going to start defending the city."

Xu Shu was about to say something more, but her nose sharply smelled it.

She thought of the preparations made by the county during this period, as well as the farmers who had been raided, and even the village chief of Xiaoli Village who sent his son to tactfully convey the villagers' reluctance. She fell silent for a moment. .

Hmm... There is really no use for her to stay, because she neither wants to set an example by carrying buckets of ladles and pour gold juice down bucket after bucket, nor does she want to affect Colonel Meng's command work amid the pervasive stench.

Xu Shu ran down quickly with self-awareness. In order to show that she did not dislike this "combat tool", but just had something urgent to do, she still resisted the temptation to pass in front of the buckets of scalding yellow soup without covering her nose. passing by.

It wasn't until Xu Shu and the guards who protected her walked down the city wall that Captain Meng's son Meng Rongfeng whispered to his father:
"His Royal Highness is used to being pampered after all, and can't stand this."

He wasn't being sarcastic or anything, he was simply stating the fact.

"Your Highness has been training with the military camp a few days ago and has persisted. With their background and being women, it is already very good to have achieved this level."

This is true, Meng Rongfeng, as a lieutenant of the school, of course got a lot more Xiaozao privately than ordinary soldiers, but most of the time, he also had to train with ordinary soldiers on the school grounds.

His brothers, and even his sisters, were sent to the military camp by his father to exercise when they were younger.

Not to mention the brothers, almost all the men of the Meng family joined the army and had to endure hardships.

Of his sisters, only his sister Rong Zhi was the only one who could persevere.

Xu Shu was obviously more pampered, and she was responsible for the huge princess mansion alone, and had to communicate with Magistrate Zhou and others from time to time. She could still find time to go to the school field to practice, and she was not afraid of being thrown all over her body.

Meng Rongfeng really admired this.

As for not being able to bear the smell of golden juice, it is understandable, even Meng Rongfeng himself had cleaned the stables for two years in order to get close to his horses, the first time he saw this thing, he had to hold his breath and retch for a while.

As soon as Xu Shu got off the city wall, the war drums above began to beat loudly. The ordinary people who were calmly helping the soldiers transport equipment unconsciously paused, but in just a moment, they quickly quickened their pace.

Xu Shu could still hear them discussing in low voices.

"This time we will definitely beat them back."

"Yes, we are so well prepared."

"No, all the huts in our alley have been cleared."

"It's the same with us. My father wanted to leave some to compost the vegetables. My mother said that life is more important, so I didn't let him keep it."

Xu Shu was quite relieved when she heard the first two sentences. At any rate, their hard work during this period was not in vain. The people have so much confidence in them.

But the topic gradually turned to unknown places, making her feel dumbfounded.

In her opinion, whether it is the grain and grass that have been hoarded during this period, or the candles and oil that are necessary for lighting fires, the axes and spears that are needed for fighting, and the fence poles and boards that reinforce the city gate, they all seem to play a greater role. , as a result, the people turned out to be more confident in the golden juice.

At this time, on the outside of the city wall, Hu Bing's vanguard team began to climb up with the help of the bumps and depressions on the city wall.

They climbed very fast, perhaps because they were afraid that their clothes would affect their speed. They were all wearing compact clothes that could barely cover their important parts, and their faces looked up with gritted teeth.

Some new soldiers were assigned to the city wall defense, and they were timid. Before they heard the order, they couldn't help but pick up the ladle and bucket to pour it down.

"lay down!"

His boss corporal scolded, and couldn't help reaching out and patting his forehead.

The recruit did not dare to offend the superior officer, so he had to stop his movements and muttered:
"If you don't fall, they will come up."

The Wu Commander spit and cursed:

"You know what? Do you know how rare this little golden juice is? It means that we have been preparing for a long time this time. In the usual way, the barbarians will come over within a day, and start looting farmers outside the city without saying a word, and then Siege, we simply don’t have the time to collect so many.”

"There are so many..."

"It shouldn't be wasted. When they get to the middle, pouring it down will burn more people."
