There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 931
[Chapter 931 Chapter 931, doubting life]
all the arrows stored by the Human Health Guard have been transported to the city wall, and a group of soldiers are in charge of soaking the arrows with oil.
Daohua saw a few catapults on the city wall, thought about it, and asked Dongli to find a batch of porcelain jars and earthen jars, and filled them with oil.
Gu Jian, Guo Ruomei, and Chu Lang all stood around Daohua in a protective posture.
Seeing Daohua calmly and methodically discussing with Dongli about defending the city, the three of them were relieved.
“Your son is really lucky to marry such a good wife.” Chu Lang murmured to Guo Ruomei in a low voice.
Even if Yan girl didn’t do anything, she just stood on the city wall, which was also a boost to morale.
If it was another girl, I am afraid that she would not have the courage to dare to go up the tower, right? Not to mention offering advice to retreat from the enemy.
Guo Ruomei glanced at him sideways: “That’s because Yang’er is outstanding.”
Chu Lang nodded repeatedly, as if Guo Ruomei was right in everything he said: “Back then most people didn’t like Yan girl, but you and I really saw her. This girl is clearly a good wife of Wangfu.”
“Except for her poor family background, how can she be worse than those noble girls in other aspects? So, it doesn’t have to be a marriage.”
” Fortunately, you supported them back then.”
Guo Ruomei glanced at Daohua with a smile, and secretly felt proud of her insightful eyes.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sky gradually brightened.
Outside the city gate, Xiao Yechi paused his attack, looking at the burnt soldiers and the burnt ladder, his face was clouded.
After the sky brightened, he also saw Yan Yiyi standing on the city wall.
Just in time, Daohua’s gaze also cast down.
Seeing Xiao Yechi looking at her sullenly, Daohua frowned.
At this moment, the baby in her stomach moved, and Daohua quickly reached out to help her stomach: “Baby, did you get scared? Don’t be afraid, mother will help you vent your anger.”
Daohua was silent for a while, and pointed with her index finger after thinking for a while. Pointing to Xiao Ye Pool, then slid his thumb across his neck, and finally pointed his thumb to the ground, looking contemptuously at Xiao Ye Pool outside the city.
This sudden scene made Xiao Yechi stunned for a moment, and then flew into a rage. He could see that Yan Yiyi was provoking himself.
hateful!
Who gave her confidence, who gave her confidence?
Even the other people on the city wall looked at Daohua in surprise, but they were even more surprised, feeling that Daohua just now was so domineering.
Chu Lang was very interested in the gesture just now, and leaned close to Daohua: “What did you mean by that gesture just now?”
Daohua: “. Xiaoshou.”
Chu Lang was not clear: “I have to learn this gesture carefully.”
Daohua didn’t say much, and looked outside the city again.
At this moment, the Xiliao army moved again, probably because they knew that they could not climb the city wall with ladders, so Xiao Yechi asked someone to move the catapult out.
While they were still placing the catapults, Dongli commanded the guards on the city wall to take the lead in attacking.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Cans full of oil were thrown off the city wall and smashed into the Xiliao army. Then, with a ‘swish’, dozens of flaming arrows shot down.
“Retreat, retreat quickly!”
Xiao Yechi yelled while riding back.
After a while, all the trebuchets brought by Xiao Yechi were burned down.
The attack failed again, Xiao Yechi yelled several times angrily, looking at the tall walls of Ganzhou City, he felt anxious and angry.
Damn Wei Hongcai, if he was a little stronger, he wouldn’t need to attack Ganzhou City so hard, everything would be ruined by this guy.
You can’t attack in close range, and the trebuchets for long-distance attack are gone. Now there are only archers left.
“An archer and a shield soldier, attack the people on the city wall with all their strength.”
He didn’t have time to waste here, once Daxia’s reinforcements arrived, not only would he not be able to catch Yan Yiyi, he might even be in trouble.
On the Daxia army’s side, they already had a favorable position, and they still held oil in their hands. Seeing the Xiliao army pressing down, they kept throwing oil tanks down, and then there were arrows burning with flames all over the sky.
The Xiliao army was sniped back again.
“My son-in-law, it won’t work if we continue like this. The people we brought have already lost nearly ten thousand people.” The deputy general said to Xiao Yechi worriedly.
Xiao Yechi gritted his teeth: “Stone lacquer is precious. I don’t believe that Ganzhou City will reserve a large amount of slate lacquer for me to continue attacking until it runs out.”
At this moment, he can’t care about the dead soldiers anymore. On the other hand, his losses will be even greater, and the Xiliao royal family may take advantage of the fire to squeeze his interests.
The Xiliang territory could have been divided in half, but because his strength has been weakened, the issue of Xiliang’s division will be rediscussed.
The surrounding generals of Xiliao felt a little helpless, this was obviously to send the soldiers to die, but Xiao Yechi had already issued an order, so they could only follow through.
Xiliao launched an attack again, but the result was the same as the previous few times, and was quickly forced back.
Near noon, servants of the Xiao Mansion came over carrying food.
“Why is Xiao Yechi so stupid? Knowing that he is no match for us, he still sends soldiers to death again and again.” Chu Lang shook his head while eating steamed buns.
Daohua : “He probably wants to use up the oil in our hands.”
Speaking of oil, Guo Ruomei asked immediately: “Is there not enough oil in the city?” Daohua
smiled and said: “Mom, don’t worry, the oil pipeline is enough.” .”
Xiao Yeyang has stored a large amount of oil in Ganzhou City, perhaps to prevent Ganzhou City from being besieged one day.
With oil in hand, even if there are fewer guards in the city, they can persist for a long time.
Outside the city gate, looking at the soldiers under him, they were blocked again and again after attacking, Xiao Yechi was already a little numb.
But he doesn’t believe in evil!
How much stone paint can there be in Ganzhou city?
He knew that there were not many places where stone lacquer was produced in the entire Great Xia. Even if the emperor favored Xiao Yeyang, how much stone lacquer could he give him?
The attack of the Xiliao army continued until the evening. Seeing that there were less than 30,000 soldiers left, Xiao Yechi felt desolate.
The father is like this, and so is he. The situation is obviously in their favor, but they just can’t win.
Is this really God’s will?
God’s will not let the Eight Kings rule the world?
However, the father is the emperor’s favorite prince. The throne of Daxia should have been passed on to the father. It is the current Emperor Daxia who has taken away the glory and power that should have belonged to the father and him.
What’s wrong with him taking it back now?
Successive failures made Xiao Yechi doubt his life.
At this moment, a sentry rushed over: “My son-in-law, it’s not good, the Great Xia reinforcements have arrived.” Xiao Yechi’s
expression changed: “Why did the reinforcements come so fast?!” The
deputy general said hurriedly: ” After all, there are Xiao Yeyang’s family members in the city, and Xiao Yeyang will definitely make arrangements in advance.” The
sentinel continued: “My son-in-law, the iron cavalry trained by Xiao Yeyang is only a dozen miles away from here.” The
deputy general looked at Xiao Yeyang Yechi: “My son-in-law, let’s retreat. We can’t get into Ganzhou City. Although the cavalry team is small in number, their combat effectiveness is very strong. If we encounter them, we will suffer heavy losses.”
Xiao Yechi knew what the lieutenant general said It was true, but he was full of unwillingness.
Seeing Yan Yiyi standing on the city wall, nibbling white steamed buns and looking at him provocatively, Xiao Yechi’s heart surged and he wanted to vomit blood.
After a long while, Xiao Yechi gritted his teeth and said, “Retreat!” On the
city wall, Daohua watched the Xiliao army retreat, with a smile on his face: “Master, mother, Uncle Chu, Xiao Yechi has withdrawn, it must be us The reinforcements are here.”
For some unknown reason, Dao Hua suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, and suddenly cried out in pain.
