Chapter 10 The Battle of Feishui(8)

Fu PI gave the general command to attack the central part of Xiangyang. At first, when Zhu Xu's mother Han heard that the Qin army was coming, she went up to the wall to see if it was strong. When she came to the northwest corner of the wall, she decided that it was not strong enough. So she led her maids and more than one hundred adult women in the city to build a wall at an Angle of more than twenty feet inside the wall. When the Qin army arrived, the northwest wall was breached. The soldiers moved to the new city wall to defend it, and the Qin army retreated. Xiangyang called this section of the wall the "Woman's City", which was remembered by later generations.
