The soldiers were overjoyed. Some moved tables, some moved stools, and some even carried rotten wood to light a bonfire on the sand.
Zheng Hu took a few bottles of liquor and gathered around with his soldiers, boasting and bragging.
"You don't know, when we launched our surprise attack, the Northern Barbarian army was like they were fast asleep. We burned their camp without lifting a finger. If you don't believe me, look at my armor..."
After downing half a bottle of wine, he was clearly slurring his words, but that didn't stop him from pulling at his armor to show his men the arrow wounds on his body.
The wounds were numerous, but they were all pitted and uneven bullet wounds; none of them penetrated the armor.
"This armor is absolutely amazing! It has saved my life several times! After I finish this war, I must go back and burn some incense for the gods!"
He spoke eloquently, downing a large mouthful of baijiu in one gulp.
The strong alcohol content of the liquor made him cough and wheeze.
But he was really happy, and he hugged his subordinates, jumping and singing, having a great time.
Upon seeing this, Huo Sanbao's apprentice also stood up and joined in the shouting:
"If you ask me, the reason we were able to win this battle was entirely due to Brother Sanbao's opening shot!"
"His archery skills are truly remarkable; he shot an arrow right through the sentry's chest! I must ask him for some pointers next time."
"What's so scary? Didn't you see Erniu and Dazhuzi? They looked really fierce with chainsaws. Those Northern Barbarian soldiers were so scared by the sound that their legs went weak and they fell to the ground, becoming our prisoners."
"..."
A bunch of people were talking at once, and then they started talking about breaking through the encirclement.
"Now that the Northern Barbarian army has lost two main roads, can we break out of here?"
"We could fight our way out, but what would be the point? There's famine everywhere outside, and people in the city don't even have land to grow vegetables. Unlike us, we have food and drink here; it's like a paradise!"
“This gentleman is absolutely right! Before coming to Liangcheng, I was in charge of transporting supplies for the Nan family army. I originally thought that the Nan family army would be lucky to have steamed buns and porridge every day, but I never expected that what you are eating is truly delicious!”
Others considered the impact of the battle on Liangcheng and began to discuss it at length:
"The news of three consecutive victories in a few days will soon spread throughout the Nine Kingdoms. Then we'll see who dares to underestimate Liangcheng's military strength!"
"Her Highness is protected by the gods. If they come, we will make sure they never return!"
The soldiers chatted enthusiastically.
The air was filled with the rich aroma of food and wine.
Qin Yue Zhao held a duck leg and sat at the table chatting with Huo Ting Ye.
"Uncle, our actions these past few days have been too drastic. I'm afraid the news will soon reach other countries and the capital."
"Does the princess have a plan?" Huo Tingye took a sip of fruit wine.
He used to drink, but now he had to stay sober in case the Northern Barbarians, blinded by rage, launched a surprise attack.
Qin Yue Zhao frowned and said, "Wan'er and the spies who went to Da Wei have not returned yet. I am a little worried. If the capital knows that we have food and water and have also incorporated the Nan family army, they will definitely do something to harm our foreign family members."
Gu Tingye had also thought of this.
“Yue Zhao, although the ancient saying goes that if the ruler commands a subject to die, the subject must die, the current ruler is no longer the wise and benevolent ruler he once was, and real power has fallen into the hands of the eldest prince…”
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yue Zhao interrupted him.
“I know what my uncle is thinking. If Qin Yueming dares to lay a hand on my maternal grandmother, I will not show any mercy.”
"Good! I'm relieved that you've made up your mind!"
At this moment, Han Tianba rode his horse and charged over from a distance.
Seeing the soldiers feasting and drinking around the campfire, and the prince returning unharmed, he laughed heartily:
"This little girl is amazing. I, Han Tianba, made the right choice in following her!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Nuo stood up from the ground and forcefully shoved a flask of wine into his hand.
