Chapter 310 Snowy Night 8
"Coming!" Zi Ye, standing in the front, reminded in a low voice that Zi Shuang, Lan Yu and Lan Die stepped forward together and surrounded Xia Hanqiu in the middle.
Xia Hanqiu didn't stop them from doing this. If she really ignores it, it will increase their burden.
Looking around, everyone is ready. The fire oil is floating in the air. It doesn't smell good, but it is the only way for them to save their lives now.
Mingde came over and heard the princess say, "Uncle Ming, you command, don't care about me. I won't do as well as you do."
Mingde was silent for a moment and nodded.
At this time, he couldn't help thinking that if the princess was a man, his future would be unlimited, but he was also glad that she was a woman. Only such a woman was qualified to be side by side with the prince.
Before the war, everything was quiet, and the crackling sound of the flames was particularly clear.
The other party may not have expected that the wall would be so bright. No matter how you think about it, you can't help but startle the top and simply don't hide it. It's a strong attack.
The previous fire and oil attacks have made them on their guard. This time, there are archers. Although such a bright place makes them have nothing to hide, they are also exposed to the people on the wall.
As soon as the people on the city wall appeared, the fire oil in his hand was shot down by an arrow before it fell down. Half of the fire oil fell on him, and the scream tore the whole night sky.
Xia Hanqiu looked blankly at the tragedy over there, bit the tip of his tongue hard, and reminded himself to stay calm with sharp pain, especially after seeing the obvious fear in the eyes of everyone, he was more calm than ever.
"Uncle Ming, I'll come to the tower. You take some good hands to pick the archers of the other party and take all the people from the hidden department."
The long-range archers are very powerful. But once they got close, their advantage was gone. Mingde knew that the current situation was urgent, and he had to grit his teeth and leave if he didn't want to.
If they don't have the opponent's archers, they... have no chance of winning.
Someone has already built a pontoon under the cover of an archer. Xia Hanqiu not only did not retreat, but also pushed aside the person in front of him and took a step forward and stretched out his hand. Bring the fire oil."
"Princess..."
"Go."
There was fire oil nearby. Landie immediately took it and handed it to the princess. She could see that the princess's hand was shaking. Thinking of the princess's current physical condition, Landie was so sad that she almost burst into tears.
Take a deep breath. Xia Hanqiu picked up the oil, stepped forward and fell down, and soon retreated and hid. "Fire."
Just when she first spoke. Ziye threw down the fire fold, with a bang, accompanied by a scream, as if the whole sky was a little brighter.
Xia Hanqiu didn't seem to hear it. After reading it on the left, he looked at the right, "Are you... afraid?"
Are you afraid? Of course I'm afraid! But the princess dares to do this. Why don't they dare?
This time, women move before men, because they know how to protect themselves, although one person is injured. But it's not as tragic as before. When men see women, they dare to risk more than them. No matter how timid people are, they shiver and move. No matter how cowardly they are, they can't point to their noses and say that they are worse than women!
Gradually, the suppressed morale rose again and continued to rise, although this was a war between Fujian and the new Liang states. But on this wall, it is also a war between men and women. Women want to raise their eyebrows, but men don't want to be suppressed by women. Although men take advantage of the number of people, women are not weak in terms of momentum!
Because there is a princess! When they are afraid that they are tired, as long as they look at the princess who has been standing there without retreating half a step, they will have the strength and courage again!
The princess held up half of the sky for them, and they were going to build this half of the sky with brick and tile!
"Princess, please sit down." Lan Yu moved out the only lounge chair in the attic. The seat is too low, it will press down to the stomach, and it will be more comfortable to sit on the lounge chair.
Xia Hanqiu's body was so heavy that he didn't insist at this time. He held Zi Shuang's hand and sat down. His back was still straight, and the spirit was still there.
Seeing this scene, everyone remembered that the princess had been pregnant for more than seven months at this time!
Probably the enemy's archers have been cleaned up a lot, and fewer and fewer arrows are fired. Everyone has no scruples, and the movements are smoother and smoother.
Suddenly, there was a scolding behind him, "What's the noise? When do you not know now?"
The soldier who was blamed quickly ran up the stairs to explain, "Head, it's not that my subordinates are ignorant. Suddenly, many people came to help. They want to go up the city tower, and my subordinates are persuading..."
The general in armor couldn't help looking at several people in the middle of the city wall. It happened that Xia Hanqiu also looked over. The man quickly bowed his head and thought about it to report the matter.
Her efforts were not in vain. Xia Hanqiu turned her head back, and her face was darkened by the firelight. "How many people?"
"Princess, there should be 40 or 50 people coming now, and there will be someone coming all the time."
"Let them come up. If they feel afraid, they will naturally go back. If they are bold and willing to stay and help, then stay."
The general, who was not of a high rank, paused slightly and left.
Not long after, many people came up from the stairway, not far away. Xia Hanqiu could see that the other party was not afraid, and some people even unconsciously stepped back two steps, but no one returned along the way immediately.
Just a glance, Xia Hanqiu didn't look at it again. At this time, it was most appropriate for her to do nothing and say nothing.
But when the people over there saw that the princess was really defending the city, they were even afraid and encouraged, trembled and asked what to do.
The general glanced at the princess quickly and clicked two people to teach them. He admired the princess more. Maybe he thought too much, but he believed that this would never be the princess's unintentional move.
One side guarded silently, and the other side attacked silently. In addition to the occasional horn, there was only a scream of the person poured on the fire oil, which came out far away in the night.
Xia Hanqiu thought that if he stretched out his head to see, he didn't know how many bodies floated in the moat below. Probably, it was not much worse to fill a road with corpses.
"Autumn!" The familiar voice finally cracked the calm expression on Xia Hanqiu's face. He turned his head and couldn't say a word to Fu Yingying's angry eyes.
Seeing the people who came with her again, Xia Hanqiu turned his mind again and said, "Cousin Chen, why are you here? My uncle and uncle are not here, and my grandfather is old. Now you are the only male in the Xia family. How can you leave?
"Don't talk about others, think about yourself, try your best to drive us back, and keep me at home. You came here with a straight stomach, you..." With a word, Fu Yingying choked. After going back, she looked at her sleeping son and immediately knew Qiu's plan, and also remembered the person who reported to him. Who is it? It's not from the Xia family at all. Obviously, it's from the Qiwang Mansion, but it's not common in weekdays, so she only feels familiar and thinks it's the waiter of the Xia family.
But the man got Qiu's death order. No matter what she said, she wouldn't let her go out. If Xia Chen hadn't found a way to knock him up and tied him up, she wouldn't have been able to get out!
Xia Hanqiu smiled bitterly. She is the daughter-in-law of the Duan family. Now the people of the Duan family are fighting for the world. It's enough for her to lose her life. How can she let others lose!
What's more, Yingying is not only her best friend, but also her aunt! If she has something, she can only apologize with death when her uncle comes back!
The two looked at each other without words, and finally Xia Chen broke the silence. "Cousin, the Xia family is safe now, but you have fallen into a dangerous place. You don't trust us, and we don't trust you. I came here with my grandfather's personal consent. There is no need to say anything else. I can't But the city can also do its part.
Xia Hanqiu found that his cousin Chen was not wearing a long shirt, but a neat short fight. After saying this, he turned around and went to the oil pot. First, he saw that others had done it. He also carried the wooden barrel and went to the wall.
Probably none of these people who came tonight were lifeless. This idea flashed in Xia Hanqiu's mind. Seeing that Yingying was still staring at her, she took those thoughts and stretched out her hand to her.
Even if Fu Yingying was so angry at this time, she could not say half a reproach when she saw her tired appearance. She came over and grabbed her cold hand and clenched it tightly. "I'll settle accounts with you after this matter!"
"If you really can make it, you can do whatever you want."
The screams are endless. Xia Hanqiu has been numb after listening for a long time, but Fu Yingying's face turned pale. She came like this. How did Qiu survive...
I feel distressed just thinking about it.
"I'll get you a soup woman."
Xia Hanqiu grabbed her and shook her head, "I'm not here to enjoy happiness. Don't worry, I can hold on."
"You..."
"So many eyes look at me, and they can have their own interpretation of every move I do. These people are almost supported by one breath. I can't let this breath be discouraged, Yingying. It's not that I don't want to treat myself well, but that I can only survive with them."
Fu Yingying's eyes were red. She didn't say anything else after all, but she just came forward a little more and almost pasted Xia Hanqiu.
Fu Yingying's arrival seemed to trigger a switch. Not long after, Wu Linlang, Zhu Jialian, Yao Feng... Almost all the women working in the government offices came one after another, accompanied by her husband, with the only few guards left in the family. For a moment, there was a sense of excitement in the city tower.
The people who came up were first suppressed by the howling. When they saw the princess, their hearts were settled. Even if they knew that the princess had lied to them before, they knew the princess's intentions. How could they complain without knowing what was good or bad?
It's just that they also have their persistence. In the past two years, they have grown not only their brains, but also their minds, as well as their persistence that they have never had before! RO
