Chapter 1107: Chapter 930, Fire Attack Repels the Enemy

"What, Xiliao people have surrounded Ganzhou City?!"

Upon hearing this news, Daohua’s face was filled with astonishment. Indeed, she had guessed that the Xiliao people might come to attack the Gan State Guard, but she did not expect their speed to be so fast.

Then, Daohua felt a sudden fright and anxiously asked, "What’s the situation now?"

Guyu immediately replied, "Fortunately, Madam, you reminded us in time yesterday afternoon, which allowed Chu Lang to catch the spies hiding in the city, preventing them from collaborating with the Xiliao people to breach the city."

"Now, Dongli is leading the city’s guards on the city walls, sniping at the Xiliao people trying to break into the city."

Daohua asked, "How many Xiliao people have come?"

Lixia replied, "Brother Shouhou said there are fifty thousand."

Daohua immediately said, "Help me get dressed; I want to go see the city gate."

Guyu and Lixia gasped and quickly tried to dissuade her, "Madam, you are heavily pregnant now; how can you go near the city walls? You must think of the little lord in your belly."

Time was pressing and Daohua could not be bothered with their idle talk. Her expression darkened, and her voice grew stern, "Are you not listening to me anymore?"

Saying that, she looked at Bi Shi.

"Bi Shi, help me change."

Bi Shi always followed Daohua’s instructions. Glancing at Guyu and Lixia, she went to retrieve the clothes.

Guyu and Lixia, extremely anxious, stood aside. Just then, Guo Ruomei arrived.

Seeing Guo Ruomei, they rushed forward as if seeing a savior, saying urgently, "Madam Guo, our madam wants to go to the city walls; please persuade her."

Guo Ruomei was stunned for a moment and quickly looked at Daohua.

Daohua still insisted with determination on her face, "Mother, no need to persuade me. If the city guards can’t hold back the Xiliao people, I won’t be safe anywhere. It’s better to go to the city gate than to be anxious and fearful."

Hearing this, Guo Ruomei held back her words and said, "Alright, mother will accompany you."

Daohua nodded, dressed, and then left the courtyard with Guo Ruomei.

Mei Lan and Mei Ju supported Daohua from the left and right, ensuring she had no chance of falling.

On the other side, Gu Jian knew Daohua was going to the city walls and followed her with Dongli and Caiju.

Soon, Daohua and her group arrived at the city walls.

At this moment, Xiliao people were trying to climb the city walls using ladders, while others were forcefully attacking the city gate.

The city’s defensive forces were too few; they could barely keep the Xiliao people at bay with the help of the city walls.

This was still when Xiliao people were not launching a full-scale attack.

Witnessing this scene, everyone in Daohua’s group felt incredibly heavy-hearted.

When the offensive from the Xiliao people weakened, Daohua stood at the battlements and looked at the Xiliao army outside the city.

Seeing the tens of thousands of Xiliao soldiers pressing in dark masses, Daohua felt a tingling in her scalp, but still gritted her teeth and picked up a telescope to observe.

When she saw the leading general riding on horseback among the Xiliao soldiers, her pupils suddenly shrunk: "Xiao Yechi!"

"What?"

Gu Jian, Guo Ruomei, and Chu Lang all looked over.

Daohua gritted her teeth, "The commander leading that group of soldiers below is Xiao Yechi!"

Gu Jian’s face looked somewhat ugly, "This traitor who abandoned his ancestors! If the former emperor knew that the descendant of his most beloved son was openly leading troops to attack Daxia’s territory, I wonder if he would be so angry that he’d refuse reincarnation?"

Chu Lang sneered, "Duke, back when Daxia was at war with the Tartars, the Eight Princes’ lineage had already betrayed their ancestors. The Eighth Prince turned to the Tartars, Xiao Yechi turned to Xiliao, it can be considered as following in his father’s footsteps."

Outside the city gate, Xiao Yechi was watching Ganzhou City’s gate with a cold gaze, presumably guessing that Wei Hong’s spy planted inside the city had been caught.

Otherwise, the city gate would have been opened by now.

Unable to launch a surprise attack on Ganzhou City and capture the Xiao Yeyang’s family, Xiao Yechi was somewhat agitated.

He had come to besiege Ganzhou City in cooperation with Yelu Kangda, seizing the opportunity when Xiao Yeyang was too stretched to come back for support, intending to kidnap his family.

He knew how much Xiao Yeyang valued Yan Yiyi; hearing that the emperor’s uncle was also in Ganzhou City, capturing these two individuals would likely force Xiao Yeyang to yield.

Then, he and the Xiliao Imperial Family working together could significantly increase their chances of seizing Xiliang.

With the territories of Xiliang, he would be able to raise troops and amass strength, gradually making his way back to Daxia.

Unfortunately, that Wei Hong was useless, even failing in planting a spy, no wonder Xiao Yeyang was stripped of military power by the border army just over two years after his arrival in Xiliang.

Xiao Yeyang...

When Xiao Yechi thought of how his father was driven to death by him and how he himself had fallen into this man’s hands several times, his heart was filled with unbearable hatred.

"We must capture Yan Yiyi."

He wanted Xiao Yeyang to taste the kind of excruciating despair that made life unbearable.

Thinking this, Xiao Yechi quickly summoned his generals to prepare for a comprehensive attack.

The battle must be swift and decisive; otherwise, once the supporting troops arrive, he might return this time without any achievements.

On the city walls, the guards saw the people of Xiliao like they were going to storm the palace completely and became anxious.

They were too few in number; they simply couldn’t stop them.

Gu Jian, Guo Ruomei, and Chu Lang also felt some tension.

Chu Lang looked at Gu Jian and Daohua: "I will take you two out first."

Gu Jian showed agreement, looking towards Daohua.

Now, nothing was more important than the safety of his disciple.

Daohua remained silent for a moment, then spoke, "Master, Uncle Chu, wait a moment, I’ve thought of a way to fight the enemy." Saying so, she called Dongli over.

"There is a batch of kerosene stored in the city. You must immediately take people to transport the kerosene to the top of the city walls."

Hearing this, Dongli’s eyes lit up as he quickly turned and ran down the city, shouting loudly, "Hold on, everyone! Crown Princess has thought of a way to fight the enemy."

In the situation of such disparity between the enemy and us, their side couldn’t afford to lose morale.

Indeed, upon hearing Dongli’s words, the originally despairing soldiers sparked with a glint of hope in their eyes.

Soon, the Xiliao people launched another attack, with numerous ladders set against the city walls and countless Xiliao soldiers swiftly climbing up.

Just when Xiao Yechi and the Xiliao soldiers thought that the city was definitely going to fall, Dongli, accompanied by the Guard Squad, brought hundreds of barrels of kerosene to the city walls.

"Pour it!"

"Splash~"

The pungent smell of oil began to spread in the air, Daohua covered her nose tightly, watching as ladles of pitch-black kerosene were poured down from the city wall.

"Boom~"

A lit fire bundle was thrown by Dongli onto the Xiliao soldiers, instantly lighting up the dark night sky.

"Ah~"

Ladders and Xiliao soldiers were all engulfed by flames.

Watching this, Daohua quietly closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Guo Ruomei hurriedly supported her and step back, no longer looking at the tragic scene outside the city: "War is ruthless, it’s either you die or I survive."

Daohua’s face turned somewhat pale: "I know, mother."

Outside the city, Xiao Yechi angrily watched his soldiers trapped in a sea of flames.

These were men he had painstakingly accumulated from the treasure left by his imperial grandfather and father. Thousands of them had been lost in an instant, causing him extreme heartache.

"Stop, immediately stop the attack."

...

Watching the Xiliao army retreat, Daohua and the others couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Guo Ruomei smiled, "Who would have thought that using kerosene fire attack would be so effective? With this kerosene, Ganzhou City can definitely hold out until reinforcements arrive."

Daohua nodded, looking at the Xiliao army outside the city gates who had stopped their attack but showed no signs of retreating, then said to Dongli, "We cannot just passively defend. Can these guards all shoot arrows?"

Dongli nodded: "Yes."

Daohua: "Good, soak the arrows in kerosene. If we find a suitable opportunity, we can also take the initiative to attack the Xiliao army."

A gleam flashed through Dongli’s eyes as he quickly withdrew to prepare.
