The stunning beauty is spoiled by the fast-wearing bosses

Chapter 399: The Chivalrous Woman and the Romantic Young Prince (33)

Han Yongzhong stood at the bow, looking at the remaining 2,000 ships in the distance, and a feeling of tragedy and grandeur welled up in his heart.

The originally huge fleet has now suffered heavy losses, with one third of its forces lost before even crossing the river!

This made him feel extremely sad and angry.

But he remembered His Majesty's order, he clenched his teeth tightly, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

He used all his strength and shouted fiercely: "Full speed! Put on armor!"

At this moment, I heard a shout from the other side.

"General Han, I have no intention of going to war with you, and this time I am only trying to take back what belongs to me.

General Han, please withdraw quickly to avoid causing greater losses."

The soldiers below heard King Cheng's shouts very clearly, which made some of them want to retreat.

After all, they had not yet reached the real battlefield, but had already lost nearly half of their troops.

This river is not easy to cross. They have heard of the great reputation of His Royal Highness Prince Sheng, but at the same time, they have also heard some rumors among the people.

However, when Han Yongzhong heard the call, he just sneered and shouted: "I, Han, am only loyal to Yuan Cang, only loyal to Your Majesty! Full speed ahead!"

Xie Shi'an stood on the city wall, looking at the arrows pouring down like raindrops, with an indescribable emotion in his heart.

Looking back to the past, when the Prince of Xiping married this chivalrous woman from Jianghu, everyone thought that the Prince of Xiping was attracted by her beauty.

Later, he discovered that the Prince of Xiping trusted this lady without reservation. Many important matters were left to her for decision.

This made him secretly regret why he chose to follow the Prince of Xiping so rashly.

Later he discovered that this princess was not only skilled in martial arts, but also possessed extraordinary wisdom and creativity.

She was actually able to personally participate in the design of such an exquisite weapon! And her third senior brother was a rare genius, whose talent was amazing.

When he saw with his own eyes the impregnable fortress design and the ingenious crossbow,

All doubts and dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant, replaced by sincere admiration and respect for this woman.

Duanmu Ci saw that the speed of the ship was not slowing down but speeding up, so he waved his hand and gave the order: "Fire!"

Qin Yu immediately passed the order down. There was a noise from the watchtower and the gunners began to prepare.

One of the gunners shouted excitedly: "Damn it, I'm itching to blow you guys up!"

Another warned: "Be careful, the princess said, try not to damage the boat."

Han Yongzhong stood on the boat and felt that the sky was full of black spots coming towards them.

These black spots fell around them one after another, followed by a series of explosions.

Small boats were rolled over by the air waves, and some were even overturned.

Yan Xue stood on the watchtower, looking at the scene in the distance, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, not bad."

She was very confident in this improved artillery. Although its lethality was not great, it was enough to have a deterrent effect.

After all, she didn't want to create overly powerful lethal weapons in this era.

Han Yongzhong looked at everything in front of him with bloodshot eyes and shouted angrily: "Retreat!"

When Duanmu Ci recovered the five states, it was not all smooth sailing. Everyone knew that Duanmu Ci was a romantic young man, but when several veteran generals saw the power of the artillery, they surrendered one after another.

Xie Shian waved his hand and said, "Brothers, salvage the boat."

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a staggering number of boats floating on the river.

"Wow, so many ships, at least three thousand! We are really going to make a fortune this time!" exclaimed a soldier.

Another soldier echoed: "Yes, these ships are the spoils of the navy. We are rich!"

The sailors immediately took action and jumped into the water to salvage the boat.

"Brothers, don't let the people from the second battalion get there first! The prince said that whoever salvages the boat will be the owner of that battalion! Come on, everyone!"

The soldiers responded one after another and rushed forward bravely, fearing that they would be overtaken by people from other camps.

At this time, Han Yongzhong finally returned to the shore. He looked at the boats drifting away on the river with a heavy heart.

The boat he had worked so hard to build for a month had now drifted to the other side and became the enemy's spoils.

He clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with resentment and anger.

Han Yongzhong immediately reported the situation in a letter and sent someone to deliver it to Emperor Wude at full speed.

After receiving the military report, Emperor Wude was so angry that he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to order Han Yongzhong to withdraw his troops.

The losses in this battle were heavy, with only 300,000 left of the 400,000-strong army. The key point was that they couldn't even reach the shore, so they had to rebuild the navy as quickly as possible and attack again.

At the same time, Duanmu Ci brought Yan Xue back to Jiangzhou and appointed Xie Shi'an to be in charge of the Weijiang navy and responsible for defense.

"Host, have you forgotten what your mission is? When are you going to give birth to a child?"

"I know, I know. I'm thinking that I can prepare for pregnancy after the war is over."

"I'm glad you didn't forget. I was just worried that you might get addicted to fighting."

"Who said that? I'm a peace-loving baby."

As night fell, Yan Xue took a bath and changed into a thin pair of pajamas.

Her skin was faintly visible through the gauze, exuding an alluring scent.

At this time, Duanmu Ci walked into the room. The scene before him made his heart beat faster and his blood boil.

His eyes fell on Yan Xue who was lying on the bed. She was wearing a transparent gauze dress and lying on the bed. Her flaming lips opened slightly and she hooked her finger at him: "Muzhi~"

Duanmu Ci suddenly felt a warm current surge into his heart, and his breathing became rapid.

He rushed to the back room and took a quick cold shower, but the fire in his heart was difficult to calm.

After a moment, he returned to the bed and drew down the curtains.

Yan Xue asked tenderly, "Muzhi, am I beautiful?"

Duanmu Ci's throat was dry, and he swallowed hard, then replied in a hoarse voice: "My Xue'er... is the most beautiful woman in the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl's gentle breathing and the man's heavy breathing were heard from inside the gauze tent.

After a while, the big bed began to shake rhythmically. Outside the window, a spring rain started to fall and the willow trees quietly sprouted new buds.
