Lovely Wife from Heaven: Husband, it's amazing

Chapter 612
For Fu Jian's east-west attack strategy, Xiangyang on the west battlefield is still far away from Jiankang, even if Xiangyang is lost, Jiankang will not be endangered immediately.

But Pengcheng in the east is different. If Pengcheng is destroyed, Jiankang will be in danger.Therefore, we had no choice but to throw away our pawns and save our cars, abandoning Xiangyang, an important military town, and fully resisting the attack from the east.

【Xiangyang】

The deputy general said to Zhu Xu, the governor of Liangzhou who guarded Xiangyang: "Master Governor, the former Qin sent 17 troops to besiege Xiangyang this time, but the imperial court did not send reinforcements to rescue us. I am afraid we will not last long."

Zhu Xu glanced at the lieutenant general, and said proudly: "Xiangyang is here, I am here, Xiangyang is dead, I am dead, as long as there is still one breath, I will live and die with Xiangyang!"

If Xiangyang City had been replaced by a general who defended the city, he would have been overwhelmed and would have abandoned the city and surrendered early, but this city was guarded by Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu was notoriously tough-tempered in the imperial court, and it was precisely because of his upright spirit and iron bones that Xie An entrusted such an important Xiangyang to his hands.

The garrison in Xiangyang City is only a few thousand people, but it has to resist the Qin army's 10,000+ people. Resistance in this case is obviously futile, and all you can do is delay time.

But even if it was delaying time, Zhu Xu did it to the extreme. The small city of Xiangyang allowed the Qin army to fight for a whole year, which shocked the entire state of Qin.

Thousands of Jin troops fought against 10,000+ Qin troops. Zhu Xu resisted tenaciously, but the Qin army could not attack for a long time.

This time the leader of the Qin army was Fu PI, the Duke of Changle. Because he could not attack for a long time, Fu Jian was impatient, and sent someone to deliver a sword to Fu PI.

Holding the sword, Fu Pi looked at Wei Hua, the servant of the Huangmen, and asked, "What is the meaning of Your Majesty giving me this sword?"

Wei Hua said: "Your Majesty said that if you still fail to capture Xiangyang next spring, Your Majesty will order you to commit suicide and apologize."

Fu PI was terrified, and the counselors around him said to Fu PI: "We can't attack from the front, why don't we cross the water?"

Fu Pi asked suspiciously: "Crossing the water? Crossing the Han River?"

The counselor said: "Yes, we don't have boats, they think we can't cross the river, so we must be negligent, and we just catch them by surprise."

After hearing this, Fu Pi thought it made sense, so he sent Qin General Shi Yue to lead five thousand cavalry to cross the Han River.

The current battle is very critical, and the people in Xiangyang City consciously began to defend the city, even Zhu Xu's mother joined the war.

She climbed up the city wall herself, checked the condition of the city wall, and found that the city wall in the southwest corner was not strong enough, so she led about 100 maidservants in the family and adult women in the city to build a new city wall of more than 20 feet along the old wall.

After hearing the news, Zhu Xu came and said to his mother, "My son is not filial, and my mother is worried."

Zhu Xu's mother Han Shi said: "At my age, I can still contribute to the state of Jin and the people of Xiangyang. Even if I die, I will die in peace. I am willing to guard the people in the city with you. Last minute."

This incident spread to the ears of all the people in Xiangyang City, and the soldiers and people in the city were very encouraged. They called this section of the city wall "Lady's Wall".

Because of this, the people of Xiangyang City and the defenders were united as one, united as a city, and defended the small Xiangyang City as solid as gold.

However, at this time, the Qin army's food and grass were about to run out, and Fu Jian's orders were one after another, forcing Fu Pi to attack Xiangyang City by force.
