There is Room For the Poor Daughter

The arrows stored in the guardhouse were all transported to the city wall, and a group of soldiers were in charge of dipping the arrows with oil.

Daohua saw a few catapults on the city wall, and after thinking for a while, asked Dongli to find a batch of porcelain jars and earthenware jars and filled them with oil.

Gu Jian, Guo Ruomei, and Chu Lang stood around Daohua in a protective posture.

Seeing Daohua's calm and methodical expression discussing the defense of the city with Dongli, the three of them were relieved.

"Your son is really lucky to have such a good wife." Chu Lang whispered to Guo Ruomei in a low voice.

Even if Yan girl doesn't do anything, she just stands on the city wall, which is also a boost to morale.

If it were another lady, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the courage to go up the tower at all, right? Not to mention offering strategies to retreat from the enemy.

Guo Ruomei squinted at him: "That's because Yang'er is excellent."

Chu Lang nodded again and again, as if Guo Ruomei was right: "At the beginning, most people were not optimistic about Yan girl, but you and I can see it clearly, this girl is clearly a virtuous wife."

"Except for her family background, how can she be worse than those noble girls in other aspects? So, let's get married, you don't have to look at the family."

"Fortunately, you supported them back then."

Guo Ruomei glanced at Daohua with a smile, and was also secretly proud of her original wisdom.

Time passed little by little, and the sky gradually brightened.

Outside the city gate, Xiao Yechi paused his attack, looking at the burned soldiers and the burnt ladder, his face was cloudy.

After the sky was bright, he also saw Yan Yiyi standing on the city wall.

Just in time, Daohua's eyes also cast down.

Seeing Xiao Yechi looking at him with a sullen face, Daohua frowned.

At this moment, the child in the stomach moved, and Daohua quickly reached out to support the stomach: "Baby is scared? Don't be afraid, mother will help you vent your anger."

Daohua was silent for a while, and after thinking about it, she pointed at Xiao Yechi with her index finger, then stroked her neck with her thumb, and finally pointed her thumb to the ground, looking at Xiao Yechi outside the city with contempt. .

This sudden scene made Xiao Yechi stunned for a moment, and then he became furious. He could see that Yan Yiyi was provoking himself.

hateful!

Who gave her the confidence and who gave her confidence?

Even the other people on the city wall looked at Daohua in astonishment, but they were even more surprised, inexplicably felt that Daohua just now was so domineering.

Chu Lang was very interested in the gesture just now, and leaned over to Daohua: "What did you mean by that gesture just now?"

Daohua: ". owl head."

Chu Lang didn't realize it, "I have to learn this gesture carefully."

Daohua didn't say much, and looked outside the city again.

At this moment, the Western Liao army moved again, probably knowing that they could not climb the city wall with the ladder, Xiao Yechi had the catapult moved out.

While they were still arranging the catapults, Dong Li commanded the guards on the city wall to attack first.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The jars filled with oil were thrown off the city wall and smashed into the Western Liao army. Then, with a 'whoosh', dozens of flaming arrows shot down.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Xiao Yechi roared as he rode backwards.

After a while, the trebuchets brought by Xiao Yechi were all burned down.

The attack failed again, Xiao Yechi shouted in exasperation several times, looking at the tall city walls of Ganzhou City, his heart was anxious and angry.

Damn Wei Hongcai, if he were a little more forceful, he wouldn't need to attack Ganzhou City so hard at all, everything would be ruined by this guy.

There is no close attack, there are no trebuchets for far attack, and now there are only archers left.

"An archer, a shield soldier, attacking the people on the wall with all his strength."

He doesn't have time to waste here. Once the reinforcements from Daxia arrive, not only will he not be able to capture Yan Yiyi, he may even fall into a trap.

On the Daxia army's side, they already had a favorable position, and they still had oil in their hands. When they saw the Western Liao army coming under pressure, they kept throwing oil tanks down, and then there were arrows that were burning all over the sky.

The Xiliao army was sniped back again.

"Consort, it's not good to keep going like this. The people we brought have lost nearly 10,000." The lieutenant 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 stone lacquer and continue to attack until it runs out."

At this moment, he can no longer care about the dead soldier. If he returns without success, his losses will be heavier, and the Xiliao royal family will also take advantage of the fire and squeeze his interests.

He could have divided Xiliang's territory in half, but because his strength was weakened, he would re-discuss the issue of the division of Xiliang.

The surrounding generals of Xiliao were a little helpless. It was obvious that the soldiers were sent to death, but Xiao Yechi had already given an order, so they could only do it.

Xiliao launched an attack again, and the result was the same as the previous few times, and was quickly forced back.

As it approached noon, the servants of Xiao Mansion came over with food.

"Why is Xiao Yechi so stupid? Even though he knew that we were no match for us, he sent soldiers to death again and again." Chu Lang shook his head while eating the steamed buns.

Daohua: "He should be trying to use up the oil in our hands."

Speaking of oil, Guo Ruomei immediately asked, "Is there not enough oil in the city?"

Daohua smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, the oil pipe is enough."

Xiao Yeyang reserves a lot 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, it can last for a long time.

Outside the city gate, looking at the soldiers under his command, they were blocked from attacking again and again, and 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 summer. Even if the emperor favored Xiao Yeyang, how much stone lacquer could he give him?

The attack of the Western Liao army continued into the evening. Seeing that there were only less than 30,000 soldiers left, Xiao Yechi felt desolate in his heart.

The father is like this, so is he, the situation is obviously in their favor, but they just can't win.

Is this really God's will?

God will not let the eight kings line up the world?

However, the father is the grandfather's favorite prince. The throne of Daxia should have been passed on to the father. It is the current Daxia emperor who took away the glory and power that should belong to the father and him.

What's wrong with him taking it back now?

The successive failures made Xiao Yechi doubt his life.

At this moment, a sentry hurriedly ran over: "Consort, it's not good, the reinforcements from Daxia have arrived."

Xiao Yechi's expression changed: "Why did the reinforcements come so quickly?!"

The deputy general said quickly: "After all, there are Xiao Yeyang's family in the city, Xiao Yeyang will definitely arrange it in advance."

The sentinel continued: "Consort, the iron cavalry trained by Xiao Yeyang is only a dozen miles away."

The lieutenant looked at Xiao Yechi and said, "Consort, let's retreat. Ganzhou City can't be attacked. Although the Iron Cavalry team is small in number, its combat effectiveness is very strong. If we encounter them, I'm afraid it will cause heavy damage."

Xiao Yechi knew that the lieutenant was telling the truth, but he was full of unwillingness.

Seeing Yan Yi standing on the city wall, nibbling on the white steamed bun, and looking at him defiantly, Xiao Yechi's heart surged and he wanted to vomit blood.

After a while, Xiao Yechi gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw!"

On the city wall, Daohua watched the Western Liao army retreat, with a happy face: "Master, mother, Uncle Chu, Xiao Yechi has withdrawn, and our reinforcements must have arrived."

I don't know why she is not too excited, Daohua suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, and suddenly cried out in pain.
